Download or read book Imam Tahawi s Sharh Ma ani al Athar written by Imam Abu Jafar Ahmad at-Tahawi and published by Turath Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 1401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imām Ṭaḥāwī’s Sharḥ Maʿānī al-Āthār is a timeless and universal masterpiece from amongst the greatest compilations of Islamic literature. Consisting of a wide array of vast and unique Prophetic traditions, it is a detailed and indispensable resource in jurisprudential matters. As a key text within the Ḥanafī School of Law, it dispels the oft-assumed notion of the School being solely one of reason by substantiating many legal verdicts of the great luminary Imām Abū Ḥanīfah (Rh.) with not only the proposition of rationale but also with highly authentic supporting evidences. The key distinguishing factor of this work from others is its unmatchable style of composition and argumentation in deducing legal rulings and deeply analysing therein; all the while assisting its readers by explaining in a coherent, cogent, and comprehensive manner. As an outstanding treatise of Imām Ṭaḥāwi (Rh.) it embodies a lifetime of discerning sacred knowledge and formulating independent decisions based on such; pro- viding a glimpse into the depths and magnitudes of his knowledge. This book has been translated into English in the hope of making the text more accessible and enabling an appreciation for it amongst the masses.
Download or read book Maqasid Al Shariah written by Jasser Auda and published by International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current applications (or rather, misapplications) of Islamic law are reductionist rather than holistic, literal rather than moral, one-dimensional rather than multidimensional, binary rather than multi-valued, deconstructionist rather than reconstructionist, and causal rather than teleological. There is lack of consideration and functionality of the overall purposes and underlying principles of the Islamic law as a whole. Further, exaggerated claims of ‘rational certainty’ (or else, ‘irrationality’) and ‘consensus of the infallible’ (or else, ‘historicity of the scripts’) add to lack of spirituality, intolerance, violent ideologies, suppressed freedoms, and authoritarianism. Thus, a maqasidi approach takes juridical issues to a higher philosophical ground, and hence, overcomes (historical) differences over politics between Islamic schools of law, and encourages a much-needed culture of conciliation and peaceful coexistence. Moreover, the realization of purposes should be the core objective of all fundamental linguistic and rational methodologies of ijtihad, regardless of their various names and approaches. Thus, the validity of any ijtihad should be determined based on its level of achieving ‘purposefulness,’ or realizing maqasid al-shari’ah.

Download or read book The Just Ruler in Shi ite Islam written by Abdulaziz Abdulhussein Sachedina and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-10-08 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Islamic regime that came to power after the 1978-79 Iranian revolution justified the rule of the Ayatollah Khomeini, and the Shi'ite imams in general, on the basis of the doctrine that the Islamic jurist is best suited to rule with justice in an Islamic country. Arguing that this concept has no apparent parallel in Sunni Islam, this study explores its origins in the Sunni/Shi'ite schism, which took place after the death of the Prophet, and traces its evolution to the present day. Drawing on exhaustive research in the Islamic libraries of Iran and Jordan, as well as discussions with leading jurors and scholars in Iran, Sachedina presents the first in-depth analysis of an Islamic phenomenon of vital contemporary social and political significance.

Download or read book Contemporary Discourse of Halal and Islamic Entrepreneurship written by Lukman Raimi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves as a valuable resource for Islamic entrepreneurship researchers, Halal scholars, Islamic finance professionals, Halal advocates, and Halal business model consultants in the fast-changing global economy. The thematic focus is not only on Islamic and halal entrepreneurship but also on halal production and consumption, ethics and impact investing in Islamic entrepreneurship, Shariah principles guiding business model innovation and utilisation of disruptive technologies (such as crowdfunding for startups, bitcoin, digital ventures, cryptocurrency, blockchain, among others), Islamic entrepreneurship and SDGs, halalisation and sustainability issues, and emergence of Islamic-Fintech in Muslim majority nations and nations with plural economic systems, including the interface of Islamic and halal entrepreneurship with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). At the moment, the working knowledge about Islamic and halal entrepreneurship is at its infancy among Islamic finance professionals, halal consultants, academic researchers, and students nursing the ambition of going into these two fields. Universities, Islamic training academies, and centres are also ill equipped to enrich Islamic and halal curricula with principles and conventional models. One of the proactive ways of breaking financial exclusion, social inequality, and social exclusion caused by apathy and avoidance of Riba, Maysir, and Gharar is by recognising, embracing, and promoting Islamic and halal entrepreneurship among the excluded Muslims and lovers of ethical business models. Overall, this book aims to promote better understanding of Islamic and Halal entrepreneurship in order to assist academics, researchers, practitioners, consultants, and policymakers to improve the growth of Islamic startups and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by improving social inclusion and financial inclusion and accelerating the attainment of SDG 8 and SDG12.

Download or read book Imagining the Arabs written by Webb Peter Webb and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are the Arabs? When did people begin calling themselves Arabs? And what was the Arabs' role in the rise of Islam? Investigating these core questions about Arab identity and history by marshalling the widest array of Arabic sources employed hitherto, and by closely interpreting the evidence with theories of identity and ethnicity, Imagining the Arabs proposes new answers to the riddle of Arab origins and fundamental reinterpretations of early Islamic history. This book reveals that the time-honoured stereotypes which depict Arabs as ancient Arabian Bedouin are entirely misleading because the essence of Arab identity was in fact devised by Muslims during the first centuries of Islam. Arab identity emerged and evolved as groups imagined new notions of community to suit the radically changing circumstances of life in the early Caliphate. The idea of 'the Arab' was a device which Muslims utilised to articulate their communal identity, to negotiate post-Conquest power relations, and to explain the rise of Islam. Over Islam's first four centuries, political elites, genealogists, poetry collectors, historians and grammarians all participated in a vibrant process of imagining and re-imagining Arab identity and history, and the sum of their works established a powerful tradition that influences Middle Eastern communities to the present day.
