Book Synopsis Analogical Reasoning (Qiyas) and the Commodification of Women by : Mohammad Omar Farooq
Download or read book Analogical Reasoning (Qiyas) and the Commodification of Women written by Mohammad Omar Farooq and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analogical reasoning (Qiyas) is one of the four sources of Islamic fiqh. It is recognized that the outcomes of Qiyas are generally speculative in nature. However, a vast portion of the corpus of Islamic law is derived based on Qiyas. One such area is marital relationship and mutual rights of the spouses. In several areas of marital relationship and mutual rights, the Islamic jurisprudents have applied concepts and tools that are related to commerce or business (tijarah). Such terminologies include bai' (exchange/buy/sale) and ijarah (lease). This paper examines such employment of business-related framework in the area of marital relationship and mutual rights. Based on both classical and post-classical legal sources, the author analyzes the legalistic tendency underlying the legacy of the traditional Islamic law, as exemplified in using business-related framework in an overreaching manner. Such tendency is akin to commodification of women, which is inconsistent with the values and spirit of Islam, as enshrined in the primary two sources, the Qur'an and Sunnah. A broad range of gender-related issues is related to such commodified view of woman. Also, this paper offers an explanation of how the traditional Islamic view on slavery might be closely connected to this commodified view. Furthermore, it sheds light on how such commodification can impact on family as a central social institution. The paper identifies some of the relevant areas, where the use of Qiyas has been overstretched in Islamic law and strong circumspection is called for in employing such business-related framework to marital/gender relationship.

Book Synopsis Analogical Reasoning in Islamic Jurisprudence by : Ahmad Hasan
Download or read book Analogical Reasoning in Islamic Jurisprudence written by Ahmad Hasan and published by . This book was released on 2023-08-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study deals with the concept, rules and application of Qiyas as developed in the medieval period. The early chapters contain a general treatment of this principle. These are followed by chapters relating to definition of Qiyas, the original and the parallel case. The most difficult problem in Qiyas is the illah. We have extensively dealt with it dividing it into seven chapters. The Chapters relating to condition (shart), cause (sabab) and impediments (mawani') have also been included, as they are indirectly connected with the 'illah. As istihsan is a latent analogy (qiyas khafi), we have dealt with this problem in a separate chapter. Qiyas has remained all along a controversial subject. We have therefore analysed the points of view of its exponents and adversaries, and discussed their arguments in greater detail.

Book Synopsis Books-in-Brief: Ethics of Assisted Reproductive Medicine by : Sharmin Islam
Download or read book Books-in-Brief: Ethics of Assisted Reproductive Medicine written by Sharmin Islam and published by IIIT. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics of Assisted Reproductive Medicine compares and contrasts Western and Islamic models of bioethics to make the case that the Islamic perspective (taken from the Qur’an and the Sunnah) provides a viable and clear alternative that goes beyond the dominance of the secular and its various philosophical bases, to give Revelation and spiritual understanding precedence. Human cloning, surrogacy, and IVF, are some of the more hotly contested topics. The author analyzes these rigorously and objectively, addressing the perspectives of both the secular Western and Islamic models, and fundamentally how each has chosen to framework its own understanding of the issues at hand. In discussing these issues, keeping to principles, the author charts the way out of a confused circle of opinion that is making it very hard to decide “what is best”.
Book Synopsis Looking Beneath the Surface by : Hendrik M. Vroom
Download or read book Looking Beneath the Surface written by Hendrik M. Vroom and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking Beneath the Surface explores Arab-Islamic and Western perspectives on medical ethical issues: genetic research and treatment, abortion, organ donation, and palliative sedation and euthanasia. The contributions in this volume discuss the state of the (medical) art, the role of laws, counseling, and spiritual counseling in the decision-making process. The different approaches to the ethical issues, ways of moral reasoning, become clear in these contributions, especially the role of tradition for Islam and the importance of autonomy for the West. Beneath the differences, however, the reader will also discover common values, such as the role of dignity and the value of life, and similar practices. Some of the main differences are sociocultural in nature, rather than religious as such. Well-known experts in the fields of medicine and ethics have contributed to this volume from different religious and secular backgrounds. The book offers a carefully written introduction and final chapter on intercultural comparisons. Looking Beneath the Surface is more than a collection of writings on issues in medical ethics: it helps the reader to compare different paradigms of accountability and moral reasoning.
Book Synopsis Islamic Finance, Risk-Sharing and Macroeconomic Stability by : Muhamed Zulkhibri
Download or read book Islamic Finance, Risk-Sharing and Macroeconomic Stability written by Muhamed Zulkhibri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-20 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of risk-sharing in financial and social contracts is one of the unique features of Islamic finance. Many theoretical studies generally claim superiority of an Islamic financial system based on pure equity and participatory modes of financing, while empirical studies provide mixed results. Studies and discussions are needed to fully understand how Islamic finance could contribute to the ongoing discussion of financial stability. Against this background, this book addresses various aspects of Islamic finance and the risk-sharing mechanism contributions to the overall macroeconomic and financial stability. Undoubtedly, the findings and recommendation from this book should be of great interest not only to future academic researchers in the field of macroeconomic stability and Islamic finance, but also to policy makers and regulators who are keen on drawing lessons from Islamic finance experiences to prevent similar crisis in the future.
Book Synopsis Sociological Theory Beyond the Canon by : Syed Farid Alatas
Download or read book Sociological Theory Beyond the Canon written by Syed Farid Alatas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-27 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book expands the sociological canon by introducing non-Western and female voices, and subjects the existing canon itself to critique. Including chapters on both the ‘founding fathers’ of sociology and neglected thinkers it highlights the biases of Eurocentrism and androcentrism, while also offering much-needed correctives to them. The authors challenge a dominant account of the development of sociological theory which would have us believe that it was only Western European and later North American white males in the nineteenth and early twentieth century who thought in a creative and systematic manner about the origins and nature of the emerging modernity of their time. This integrated and contextualised account seeks to restructure the ways in which we theorise the emergence of the classical sociological canon. This book’s global scope fills a significant lacuna and provides a unique teaching resource to students of classical sociological theory.
Book Synopsis When Islam and Democracy Meet: Muslims in Europe and in the United States by : Jocelyne Cesari
Download or read book When Islam and Democracy Meet: Muslims in Europe and in the United States written by Jocelyne Cesari and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-12-09 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the woefully neglected reality of Islam as a major cultural and relgious facet of American and European politics and societies, Cesari examines how Muslims in the West are challenging the notion of an inevitable clash or confrontation. With nearly twelve million Muslims living in the larger countries of Western Europe and almost six million in America, the challenges of integrating newcomers within different countries, and the place of Islam in democratic and secular context in the post 9/11 context, have become more pertinent. Comparing the interaction of Muslims with their new countries, this book addresses the implications of increased Islamic visability, violent clashes, beneficial cooperation, and questions within the Muslim community about their role and the role of Islam in democratic states. Pursuing a holistic approach to Muslims as a new minority within western democracy, Cesari provides important insights.
