Book Synopsis Toward an Islamic Reformation by : Abdullahi Ahmed An Na'im
Download or read book Toward an Islamic Reformation written by Abdullahi Ahmed An Na'im and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1996-07-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward an Islamic Reformation is an ambitious attempt to modernize Islamic law, calling for reform of the historical formulations of Islamic law, commonly known as Shari'a that is perceived by many Muslims to be part of the Islamic faith. As a Muslim, Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im is sensitive to and appreciative of the delicate relationship between Islam as a religion and Islamic law. Nevertheless, he considers that the questions raised here must be resolved if the public law of Islam is to be implemented today. An-Na'im draws upon the teachings and writings of Sudanese reformer Mahmoud Mohamed Taha to provide what some have called the intellectual foundations for a total reinterpretation of the nature and meaning of Islamic public law.
Book Synopsis Islamic Law and Human Rights by : Muhammad Moinuddin Khan
Download or read book Islamic Law and Human Rights written by Muhammad Moinuddin Khan and published by Discovery Publishing House Pvt Limited. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islam, as a faith is a complete code of life. It tells its followers how to lead a happy and prosperous life, here and hereafter. Almighty Allah's last and final Prophet, Muhammad (Pbuh) preached a goodfor- all-times religion in this world over 1400 years back in the Arabian desert. When the Prophet (Pbuh) opened his eyes in this world, the Land of Arabia was completely engulfed in inhuman and utterly barbarous practices. There was no room for mercy and compassion in stony-hearted people of Arabia. Seeing this utterly ignoble and pathetic condition, Allah, the Mighty and Powerful, decided to change the age-long tradition, prevailing among the pagans. These people were not known to education, rights of human beings, neighbours, parents and even the Divine Creator. Hence, Allah, the Almighty, sent the most beloved of his prophets and messengers (peace be upon them) and named him "Muhammad", which means, the 'praised' and 'applauded one'
Book Synopsis Islamic Law and International Human Rights Law by : Anver M. Emon
Download or read book Islamic Law and International Human Rights Law written by Anver M. Emon and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between Islamic law and international human rights law has been the subject of considerable, and heated, debate in recent years. The usual starting point has been to test one system by the standards of the other, asking is Islamic law 'compatible' with international human rights standards, or vice versa. This approach quickly ends in acrimony and accusations of misunderstanding. By overlaying one set of norms on another we overlook the deeply contextual nature of how legal rules operate in a society, and meaningful comparison and discussion is impossible. In this volume, leading experts in Islamic law and international human rights law attempt to deepen the understanding of human rights and Islam, paving the way for a more meaningful debate. Focusing on central areas of controversy, such as freedom of speech and religion, gender equality, and minority rights, the authors examine the contextual nature of how Islamic law and international human rights law are legitimately formed, interpreted, and applied within a community. They examine how these fundamental interests are recognized and protected within the law, and what restrictions are placed on the freedoms associated with them. By examining how each system recognizes and limits fundamental freedoms, this volume clears the ground for exploring the relationship between Islamic law and international human rights law on a sounder footing. In doing so it offers a challenging and distinctive contribution to the literature on the subject, and will be an invaluable reference for students, academics, and policy-makers engaged in the legal and religious debates surrounding Islam and the West.

Book Synopsis International Human Rights and Islamic Law by : Mashood Baderin
Download or read book International Human Rights and Islamic Law written by Mashood Baderin and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2017-06-10 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are human rights and Islamic law compatible? Can Muslim States comply with international human rights law whilst adhering to Islamic law? In this fully updated volume, international human rights law is placed in dialogue with Islamic law, facilitating an evaluation of the human rights policy of modern Muslim States through an analysis of each article of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and relevant articles of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women in light of the Islamic legal tradition. International Human Rights and Islamic Law formulates a synthesis between what can be perceived as two extremes, arguing that although there are differences of scope and application, there is no fundamental incompatibility between these two bodies of law. This volume concludes that it is possible to harmonize the differences between international human rights law and Islamic law through the adoption of the 'margin of appreciation' doctrine by international human rights treaty bodies and the utilization of the Islamic law doctrines of 'maqasid al-shari'ah' (the overall objective of Shari'ah) and 'maslahah' (welfare) by Muslim States in their interpretation and application of Islamic law respectively. Baderin asserts that Islamic law can serve as an important vehicle for the guarantee and enforcement of international human rights law in the Muslim world.

Download or read book Land, Law and Islam written by Hilary Lim and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pioneering work Siraj Sait and Hilary Lim address Islamic property and land rights, drawing on a range of socio-historical, classical and contemporary resources. They address the significance of Islamic theories of property and Islamic land tenure regimes on the 'webs of tenure' prevalent in the Muslim societies. They consider the possibility of using Islamic legal and human rights systems for the development of inclusive, pro-poor approaches to land rights. They also focus on Muslim women's rights to property and inheritance systems. Engaging with institutions such as the Islamic endowment (waqf) and principles of Islamic microfinance, they test the workability of 'authentic' Islamic proposals. Located in human rights as well as Islamic debates, this study offers a well researched and constructive appraisal of property and land rights in the Muslim world.
