Islam miraculous nature of legislation in the quranArab Muslim
The document discusses the miraculous nature of legislation in the Quran. It notes that the Quran provides perfect guidance for all human needs and contains rules that can handle people's affairs in this life and the afterlife. The legislation in the Quran establishes principles like freedom of religion, fair dealings, personal laws, and criminal laws. It is based on foundations like tolerance, universality, legalizing concessions, few obligations, gradation, and considering people's interests. The Quran established human rights and principles of justice over 14 centuries ago.

This document discusses the origin and development of usul al-fiqh (Islamic legal theory). It explains that during the Prophet's time, legal rulings were directly derived from the Quran and hadith. In the time of the companions, they gave rulings by understanding the sources and through consultation. During the successors, independent reasoning (ijtihad) was used alongside the opinions of companions. As new problems emerged with territorial expansion, frequent ijtihad led to the emergence of usul al-fiqh as an independent science in the 2nd Islamic century.

The document summarizes the historical development of Islamic law over six periods:
1) During the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad, Islamic law was based on revelations in the Quran and traditions of the Prophet.
2) In the period of the Prophet's companions, the Quran was compiled and Islamic jurisprudence developed further based on consensus and analogy.
3) Under the Umayyad Caliphate, schools of law began to emerge in different cities and sects like the Sunnis and Shias developed.
4) The four major schools of Sunni law were established during the Abbasid Caliphate and compilation of hadiths increased.
5) As the Abbasid Empire declined,
This document discusses various modes of financing for waqf (Islamic endowments) in order to perpetually support philanthropic causes. It describes waqf as a perpetual charity involving dedicated property. Common waqf financing models mentioned include cash waqf, waqf shares in corporations, sukuk waqf bonds, joint ventures, and long-term leasing of waqf assets known as hukr. Examples are given of each from various Malaysian states, demonstrating how the revenues and assets of waqf can be invested and leveraged while upholding the principles of perpetuity and inalienability.
This document is a lecture given in 1942 by Hadrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad, the second successor of the Promised Messiah, on how Ahmadiyyat proposes to deal with social inequality in the world. He outlines that Ahmadiyyat's solution is based on Islamic teachings as guided by the founder of the Ahmadiyya movement. This solution involves establishing a New World Order based on the principles of voluntary charity and wealth distribution as outlined in the institution of Al-Wasiyyat. The Tahrik-e-Jadid scheme launched in 1934 aims to prepare the ground for full implementation of this New World Order. Hadrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad argues that this
1) The document discusses the Islamic pilgrimage known as Hajj, which is one of the five pillars of Islam and an obligation for those who are able.
2) Hajj is described as a unique act of devotion that allows pilgrims to emulate the lives of prophets through struggle and sacrifice, and provides great benefits.
3) The document provides guidance on proper etiquette (adab) for the Hajj journey, which includes sincerity, repentance, preparing provisions, avoiding sins or disputes, and remembering Allah.
This document provides an introduction to the study of Usul al-Fiqh (principles of Islamic jurisprudence) and key related terms:
- Usul al-Fiqh is the methodology for deriving rulings (ahkam) from Islamic legal sources like the Quran and hadith. It establishes the principles for understanding and interpreting these sources.
- Fiqh refers to both the body of Islamic laws and the knowledge of these laws. Sharia is synonymous with Fiqh and refers to all rulings derived from Islamic legal sources.
- Hukm Sharii are the specific rulings in Islamic texts that address human actions, commanding or prohibiting them. There
This document provides an introduction to fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and Shariah (Islamic law). It discusses the key components of fiqh including ibadat (acts of worship) and muamalat (transactions). It also distinguishes between fiqh as the product of human legal reasoning and Shariah as divine law. The primary sources of Shariah are discussed as the Quran, sunnah, ijma' (consensus) and qiyas (analogy). Finally, it provides a brief comparison between Islamic law derived from religious sources and man-made laws.
The Sharia evolved over time from the 7th century onwards as Islam spread. It was initially based on the Quran and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. The early Islamic caliphates further developed Sharia by establishing Islamic legal systems. The Sharia reached its full development under the Abbasid dynasty in the 9th century as legal scholars systematically organized the sources and methodology of Islamic law. Modern Muslim-majority countries have since adapted Sharia to suit their modern needs and contexts.
Based on advances in Islamic finance, innovative instruments for financing waqf have been introduced, including cash waqf. Cash waqf allows individuals to endow cash or money for charitable purposes in perpetuity. In Malaysia, cash waqf has become popular for financing waqf projects, with mechanisms in place for individuals and corporations to contribute via salary deductions, bank accounts, or collaborations with financial institutions. Cash waqf provides benefits over real estate waqf by being more accessible and allowing wealth to be endowed even without property ownership. However, small cash collections may not be suitable to acquire fixed assets.
Islamic State is a radical Islamist group that seized territory in northern Syria and Iraq in 2014. They have brutal tactics like mass killings and abductions of religious and ethnic minorities. Originally founded in 2004, ISIS declared the creation of a caliphate in 2014 and changed its name to the Islamic State. They are based on a radical Sunni ideology and want to be governed by a single caliph, currently Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

The Amman Message started as a detailed statement released the eve of the 27th of Ramadan 1425 AH/9th November 2004 CE by H.M. King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein in Amman, Jordan. It declares what Islam is and what it is not, and what actions represent it and what actions do not. In total, over 500 leading Muslim scholars worldwide—as can be seen from the Grand List included in this publication—unanimously endorse the Amman Message and its Three Points. This amounts to a historical, universal and unanimous religious and political consensus (ijma ') of the Ummah (religious community) of Islam in our day, and a consolidation of traditional, orthodox Islam.

Mixed Methods on the Commercialization of Cash Waqf in Nigeria: An Analysis o...iosrjce
This paper applied mixed methods approach on the commercialization of cash waqf in Nigeria and
its implementation in solving social issues and challenges confronting Nigerians at large and Nigerian Muslims
in particular. The value and importance of waqf endowment cannot be overlooked. The study analysed the
questionnaire conducted on commercialization of cash waqf in Nigeria and its implementation. The sample was
selected from Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo tribes to discover the breadth and extent of poverty among Nigerian
Muslims in particular and Nigerians at large. This survey or data was sampled as an empirical evidence and
proof that many Nigerian Muslims are suffering terribly and their unfortunate condition calls for urgent
delivery from financial incapability. Similarly, intellectuals were also interviewed and their responses were
critically analysed in the discussion. The study discovered the effectiveness of the waqf establishment across the
nation as a semi-formal institution that will cater for the needs of Nigerian Muslims based on the available
resources. The problems and obstacles that may face the waqf institution were also examined. In the opinion of
the researcher, the number of respondents selected and interviewed is sufficient as they are Nigerians and know
what their Muslim counterparts are facing in the country regardless of their tribe and gender. Qualitative and
quantitative methods are used throghout the discussion. There are many lucrative and profitable businesses and
transaction that waqf management can transact with cash waqf endowment. It is recommended that waqf
endowment in Nigeria can transform many lives positively if competent, pious, qualified, and experienced
persons are in charge of waqf institution across the nation
Overview:
The Waqf Properties are spread out all over the country but even the basic survey of Waqf properties have not been completed in most of the States. There is hardly any development of Waqf Properties and therefore, a very substantial income that the Waqf Properties could have generated for the welfare schemes of the community, are lost every year. There is also large scale encroachment of Waqf Properties.
Objectives:
As recommended by Joint Parliamentary Committee on Waqf in its 9th Report, the Scheme for "Computerization of records of the State Wakf Boards" was launched by the Ministry of Minority Affairs, Government of India, to streamline record keeping, introduce transparency, and to computerize the various functions & processes of the Waqf Boards and to develop a single web-based centralized software application.
In this Scheme, Central financial assistance is given to the State Waqf Boards for setting-up of ICT Infrastructure, Technical Manpower for initial hand-holding period for Managing & Operating the ICT Infrastructure and Software Applications, Imparting Training and Knowledge Transfer to the State Waqf Boards Staff for Managing & Operating the ICT Infrastructure and Software Applications and Data Management Life Cycle during & at the end of hand-holding period and general maintenance assistance during the Hand-holding period.
The broad objectives of computerizing the records of the State Waqf Boards are:
• Waqf Properties Registration Management,
• Annual Returns Filing of assessable Waqf Properties Management,
• Transparency in Leasing of Waqf Properties under Direct Management of Waqf Board,
• Litigations (Internal as well as External Hon'ble Courts) Tracking Management,
• Waqf Properties Ownership establishing Documents Archiving & Retrieval Management,
• GIS of Waqf Properties using GPS Field Survey alongwith Photographs of Waqf Properties,
• Funds Management to Mosques, Durgah, Kabristan, Imams, Muazzins, Widows, Girls Marriages, Scholarships, Schools, Hospitals, Dispensaries, Musafirkhanas, Skill Development Centres, etc.,
• Loans Management for Development Of Urban Waqf Properties.
The document discusses Maqasid Shariah, which are the objectives of Islamic law. It explains that the overarching purpose of Shariah is to benefit humans and realize their interests. These benefits are categorized into necessities (al-daruriyyat), needs/exigencies (al-hajiyyat), and complementary interests (al-tahsiiniyyat). Shariah aims to protect the five essentials of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property by regulating benefits and prohibiting harms. All professions can uphold Maqasid Shariah by considering how their work protects these essential interests and benefits society.
Islam recognizes equality and social justice, and waqf is an important tradition in Islamic history used to redistribute wealth for the community. Waqf means the permanent dedication of property for religious, pious, or charitable purposes according to Muslim law. A valid waqf cannot be revoked, must be made permanently by a Muslim for a clearly defined property they own, and is overseen by a mutawalli manager. There are public waqfs for general welfare, private waqfs for families, and quasi waqfs that are partly for families and partly for the public.
The document criticizes capitalism and highlights its negative impacts based on statistics. It notes that in the US, 37 million people live in poverty, over 2 million experience homelessness annually, and the richest person has more wealth than the bottom 45% combined. It argues capitalism leads to polarization of wealth, with the rich accumulating more over time compared to the poor. Various data is presented showing concentration of wealth among the top 10% in Western countries. The system is said to fail in fulfilling basic human needs for all.
The document discusses the objectives (maqasid) of Islamic divine law (shari'ah) according to the Maqasid theory. It presents the Maqasid model as consisting of concentric circles representing different categories of objectives, with the core being Islamic creed. The inner circle contains five essential objectives or necessities - religion, life, intellect, procreation, and property. Outer circles represent complementary and embellishing objectives. The purpose of shari'ah is to both establish and protect humans' masalih or benefits. It uses examples from the abandoned ship case study to illustrate how shari'ah aims to realize benefits and prevent harms.
Waqf is an Islamic charitable endowment where a Muslim dedicates assets for religious or charitable purposes in perpetuity. A waqf is established through a legal contract where a waqif, or donor, transfers ownership of an asset to a mutawalli, or trustee, to administer it. The income generated is used for purposes outlined by the waqif, such as maintaining a mosque, supporting the poor, or funding an educational institution. The Mussalman Wakf Validating Act of 1913 defines waqf under Indian law and establishes rules regarding its creation, registration, and administration to benefit religious and charitable causes in accordance with Islamic principles.
This document discusses the concept of waqf (Islamic endowment) under Muslim law. It defines waqf as the dedication of property in perpetuity for charitable or religious purposes in accordance with Islamic principles. The document outlines the history and origins of waqf, how it is created, types of waqf, and key court rulings regarding waqf. It also summarizes some of the important provisions of the Waqf Act of 2013 in India relating to the definition, management, and oversight of waqf properties.
The document discusses Islamic principles related to wealth distribution and prohibitions on riba (interest or usury). It provides classifications of riba according to different Islamic scholars. Riba is generally prohibited in Islam as it can lead to injustice and oppression. There are two main types of riba: Riba al-Nasiyah (interest on loans) and Riba al-Fadl (excess received in exchange of commodities). Scholars differ on the exact definition of commodities covered under Riba al-Fadl.
This document compares and contrasts different economic systems including capitalism, socialism, communism, and the Islamic economic system. It outlines key principles of each system such as private ownership, profit motive, and egalitarianism. It also discusses flaws like lack of moral limitations in capitalism and loss of individual incentive in socialism. The Islamic system focuses on distribution of wealth, guaranteeing basic needs, and prohibiting interest while encouraging investment. The document recommends positive economics to analyze actual behavior and normative economics to prescribe how behavior should be.
This document discusses waqf-based educational development models in Turkey and Malaysia. It provides details on Turkey's 68 waqf universities, notably Sabanci University established by the Sabanci Foundation. Sabanci University is financially self-sufficient through an endowment fund. The document also outlines several waqf-based universities in Malaysia and how they utilize waqf funds, including the National University of Malaysia and the International Islamic University Malaysia. It evaluates the Turkish model of waqf universities as the best, as it is productive, accumulative, and financially sustainable.

Maqasid as-Shariah is very important subject in understanding the whole picture of Islamic law. Without the knowledge about maqasid as-Shariah, people will not be able to see the beautiful of Islam as it has been described in the Quran as the rahmah or mercy to the universe. Maqasid as-Shariah shows that every single law or regulations in the Islamic teaching are meant for the benefit of the whole universe since Islam was revealed to the universe. Shari'ah aims at the welfare of the people in this life and in the life hereafter, and for this purpose it has advised people to adopt such means and measures that may give advantage benefit/well-being to them and may ward off evil/injury/loss, from them.
Maqasid al-Shari'ah comprises those benefits/welfare/advantages behind the revelation of Islamic Laws.
It aims at the attainment of good, welfare, benefits, and warding off evil, injury, loss, etc. for the creatures. (All this in Arabic terminology can be stated as Masalih al-'Ibad.)
Many jurists have tried to explain the aims and objectives of Shari'ah upon which it is established.
Among the outstanding figures are the Malikite Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi, the Shafite al-'Izz ibn 'Abd aI-Salam, and the Hanbalite Ibn Qayyim al-Jawiziyyah.

Justly Balanced Community: Concept, Principles and Aimsijtsrd
All the teachings which Islam gives and instructs are in full conformity with the human nature. They are applicable in all situations and circumstances. There is no excesses or deficiencies found in them. One who acts according to the teachings of Islam is basically acting according to what nature demands of him. Thus in this way, he is fulfilling the genuine demands of the nature on the one hand, and is simultaneously gaining the pleasure of the Lord of the universe on the other hand. The present paper deals with the explanation of how Islam and its principles steer clear of the extremes in all matters of human life. Many examples have been cited to illustrate how the teachings of Islam are free from all kinds of excesses and deficiencies. Light is also thrown on the importance of justly balanced community; its principles, aims, duties, objectives and purpose.

Principles of the Salafi Manhaj in DawahZaffer Khan
This document discusses the importance of learning the fundamentals of the Salafi methodology (manhaj) of da'wah (calling to Islam).
It begins by noting that da'wah is a distinctive trait of the Muslim ummah and one of the best forms of worship, as the Prophet Muhammad instructed Muslims to invite others to Allah with knowledge. However, there are now various methodologies of da'wah due to differing desires and opinions.
It emphasizes the need to establish the fundamentals and principles of the manhaj of da'wah based on the Quran, Sunnah, and understanding of the earliest generations of Muslims. Learning the fundamentals guards against mistakes and errors.
Islamic perspective on research and ethics. Islam emphasizes seeking knowledge and performing research that provides utility. The source of ethics and morality in Islam is divine revelation from the Quran and teachings of Prophet Muhammad. Islamic law, known as Shariah, provides a comprehensive moral framework that governs all aspects of human life and conduct. The overarching aims of Islamic ethics are to promote benefits and prevent harms according to five essential principles - religion, life, intellect, lineage and property. Research in an Islamic community must be conducted according to these principles and for specific goals like preserving religion, life and wealth.

1450 years ago, the message of Islam changed the course of human history. It transformed ignorant and backward Bedouin into world leaders, and created a civilization which enlightened the world with knowledge for more than a 1000 years. Today, Muslims around the world are again wrapped in ignorance and darkness, but they are looking West for guidance, instead of looking at the Quran. This lecture explains why the last message of God for mankind is just as revolutionary today as it was when it was first revealed. It offers us complete and perfect guidance for our modern problems today.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
