A Critique of the Theory of Abrogation
This book surveys the subject of abrogation (naskh) in the Quran, hadith, and Islamic literature.
Kube Publishing Ltd
Adults
9780860377306
Jasser Auda
A typical definition of abrogation found in the jurisprudence literature is "the (heavenly) replacement of one juridical ruling with a later ruling." This book surveys the subject of abrogation (naskh) in the Quran, hadith, and Islamic literature, illustrating that the concept of abrogation was introduced after the prophetic era in order to explain certain verses of the Quran and what has come to be termed as conflicting prophetic narrations (mukhtalaf al-hadith). It goes on to suggest that the abrogated rulings were merely pre-Islamic cultural practices that contradicted Islamic principles. Furthermore, the book argues that the Quranic verses and prophetic narrations that were misperceived as conflicting should be contextually situated and applied according to the wisdom behind them, with the practical implication being the validation of all Quranic verses and (authentic) prophetic instructions, regardless of their perceived contradictions, allowing Islamic jurisprudence to retain its flexibility within changing circumstances.

Some of the topics covered include the following:

Ethics of Assisted Reproductive Medicine: A Comparative Study of Western Secular and Islamic
Bioethics has developed over the last few decades into a major field of inquiry.
International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT)
9781565645615
Sharmin Islam
Bioethics has developed over the last few decades into a major field of inquiry. With advances in medicine progressively transforming our understanding of what constitutes life, there is a need for medical ethics to address many of the issues and challenges arising, particularly in the fields of genetics and reproduction. Of central significance are serious moral dilemmas confronting medical experts which require a theological perspective. Yet it is secular bioethics that is defining what constitutes human life, and it is secular bioethics that is influencing policy on matters which concern us all and are likely to have grave societal impact. Is it right for a woman to act as surrogate for her sister? Or for a childless couple to resort to artificial insemination by donor? What does Islam have to say?

The Qur'anic Worldview: A Springboard for Cultural Reform
Looking back at the various stages of Islamic historical development, AbuSulayman puts forward a thesis that focuses on the recovery of what is termed the Qur’anic worldview.
9781565643659
AbdulHamid AbuSulayman
This is a carefully reasoned, positive, and largely reflective work. Looking back at the various stages of Islamic historical development, AbuSulayman puts forward a thesis that focuses on the recovery of what is termed the Qur’anic worldview. By this is meant an ethical, monotheistic, and purposeful perspective on the world and those within it. Our faith will only be complete when we have become utterly sincere in our love for God, a love expressed in a pure, passionate love for goodness and truth in this world. It was the strict internalization of this perspective and close adherence to the principles of the Qur’an which AbuSulayman contends played a key factor in galvanizing the devout and intensely God-conscious followers of fledgling Islam to achieve the successes that they once did, the profound historical and global impact of which is still the subject of much study and admiration today. The rebirth of Islamic identity through this Qur’anic worldview is the key requirement of our times and a prerequisite for any future healthy and viable development of Muslim societies.

Al-Shura: The Qur'anic Principle of Consultation
Muslims remain largely unaware of the importance and value of the Qur’anic principle of al-Shura (mutual consultation) and the significant role it can play in the advancement and reform of Muslim society.
9781565643611
Ahmad Al-Raysuni
Muslims remain largely unaware of the importance and value of the Quranic principle of al-Shura (mutual consultation) and the significant role it can play in the advancement and reform of Muslim society. In this work, the author attempts to introduce and examine key meanings and practices of al-Shura, trace its historical evolution, and explore ways in which the principle can be introduced, institutionalized and applied in Muslim societies. There is no doubt that al-Shura has been sidelined throughout the Muslim world and the reasons for this are both historically and politically complex. According to the author, although much has been written on the subject, in reality it has been at best ineffectively applied and at worst heedlessly ignored. Even today it is a hotly contested issue. As al-Shura is increasingly associated with democratic participation in a decision-making process, debate has ignited with critics challenging the notion of equating the principle with western notions of democracy, with others claiming that the principle allows for a meaning that breaks the grip of centralized power. These and other issues are investigated with careful scholarship. Al-Raysuni concludes that al-Shura should be adopted as a way of life for all Muslims to protect their interests and as a vital tool for reconstruction and reform. In doing so he addresses the subject from some intriguing new angles, giving insight into areas hitherto little, if at all, examined.

The Position Of The Sunnah In The Islamic Legislation
By way of these various means, the Qur'ān calls the people to believe in the Sunnah and act upon it, and that it, along with the Qur'ān, is [one of] the true foundations of this religion.
Authentic Statements
9781532335662
Shaykh Muhammad Aman al-Jami
The Quran calls people to believe in the Sunnah and act upon it. Along with the Quran, the Sunnah is one of the true foundations of this religion. Since belief in the Messenger (s) is a foundation from the foundations of iman, then belief in his Sunnah is a necessary component of iman in him because he is the possessor of the Sunnah and because iman, as Imam Ibn al-Qayyim defined it, is "a certain reality [emanating] from cognizance of what the Messenger (s) came with of knowledge, and affirmation of it, believing in it, affirming it with one's tongue, submitting to it out of love and humility, acting upon it outwardly and inwardly, considering it authoritative, and calling to it in proportion to one's ability."

States Do Not Go to Heaven: Towards a Theory of Islamic Agency in International Relations
This book compares and contrasts Islamic worldviews and Western theoretical perspectives on international relations
9781565645561
Meshari Alruwaih
This book compares and contrasts Islamic worldviews and Western theoretical perspectives on international relations to suggest that a combination of the two could lead to a mutually beneficial redefinition of contemporary international relations utilizing Western theoretical tools and incorporating an Islamic perspective. Particular focus is given to the Islamic concept of istikhlaf as an ontological and normative foundation, the reasoning being that all man-made social arrangements on earth , as well as international society, should be considered a realm of istikhlaf. This allows for return to an eternal and critical first principle, linking all social roles to this principle, which is that man, as designated by the Quran, is God's khalifah or vicegerent on earth. It is a statement of great magnitude.

The Socio-Intellectual Foundations of Malek Bennabi's Approach to Civilization
Since the publication of Samuel Huntington’s “The Clash of Civilizations” concern about civilization has been reintroduced into the debate on the world order.
9781565643673
Badrane Benlahcene
Since the publication of Samuel Huntington’s The Clash of Civilizations, concern about civilization has been reintroduced into the debate on the world order. Malek Bennabi (1905–1973), prominent Algerian thinker and great Muslim intellectual, intently focused on unraveling the causes of Muslim decline and the success of Western civilization and culture. The key problem he theorized lay not in the Qur’an or Islamic faith but in Muslims themselves. The author investigates Bennabi’s approach to civilization and the fundamental principles drawn, using metatheorizing methodology. In doing so he sheds further light on perhaps one of the more intriguing elements of Bennabi’s theory, that civilization is governed by internal-external and social-intellectual factors and that an equation can be generated for civilization itself. This equation of Man+Soil+Time = Civilization and of which religion, according to Bennabi, forms the all-important catalyst, is explained and its significance in terms of the reversal of Muslim decline evaluated. What is clearly apparent is that for Bennabi, Man is the central force in any civilizing process and without him the other two elements are of no value. With regard to outcomes, Bennabi’s unerring conviction that unless Muslims changed their spiritual condition they could not affect any far-reaching, meaningful change in society is echoed in the Qur’anic verse: “Verily, never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves” (13:11).

The Power of Education
"Knowledge is power," a statement commonly attributed to an eminent English philosopher and scientist in 1597, still highlights today the importance of knowledge in the modern world.
9781565645684
Jeremy Henzell-Thomas
"Knowledge is power," a statement commonly attributed to an eminent English philosopher and scientist in 1597, still highlights today the importance of knowledge in the modern world. Education forms the basis of our knowledge and its development, from our earliest experiences at school through to Higher Education. Individuals use their knowledge in their professional and personal lives, and society as a collective of individuals shapes the world in which we live. Therefore the power of education is one of the keys to developing a successful society and benefits humanity at large. But things have gone very wrong! Society, values, and morals are all in decline. How has education lost its power to build an effective and fair society? How can this decline be reversed? In The Power of Education, the author goes back to first principles and asks: what is education, and what do individuals and society need from education? Reconnecting education with the heart and soul of humanity, and finding that great purpose of mankind is paramount. This is distinct from a ‘knowledge factory’ that merely develops individuals for material advancement and personal progression. Values, morals, compassion, empathy, gratitude, mutual respect, fairness, and social responsibility are all essential traits for individuals that collectively form a successful society, and these traits need to be instilled during the entire educational experience. By rethinking and developing an effective education methodology one can work towards building a better world, based upon equality and fairness for all.

Man & the Universe: An Islamic Perspective
It is now obvious that something has gone very wrong in the West, and that psychological and social alternatives have become pressing issues.
Awakening
9781905837366
Mostafa al Badawi
It is now obvious that something has gone very wrong in the West, and that psychological and social alternatives have become pressing issues. In this timely book, Dr. Badawi reminds us that Islam has a historically verifiable track record for healing social chaos and individual tragedy. Sadly, the principles of Islam have all too often been suppressed by the deluge of educational materials, media, and socioeconomic strangulation from the West. Dr. Badawi provides a powerful overview of Islamic metaphysics and unearths its spiritual, social, and ethnic values as well as a diagnosis of modern man. This is an urgent piece of writing about what we are and where we are. Dr. Mostafa Al-Badawi is a Consultant Psychiatrist and member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. He studied under many shaykhs, foremost among whom is the late Habib Ahmad Mashhur al-Haddad. Dr. Badawi is also one of the leading contemporary translators of Islamic books from Arabic into English. Many thinking people now have an inward sense that twenty-first-century humanity faces stark and urgent challenges that demand wise and decisive responses. Profound illnesses call for profound remedies, and when nothing less than radical change will do, courage is essential to survival. Authentic traditional Islam provides a holistic and historically proven alternative. In this timely book, Dr. Mostafa al-Badawi shows that revealed knowledge is the source of traditional wisdom, and that the Islamic faith and civilization has a veritable track record of healing individual and social disintegration. The author presents a penetrating diagnosis of the illnesses of humanity today, together with a fascinating overview of the Islamic metaphysic, unearthing its spiritual and moral values and its timeless relevance and applicability. Man and the Universe is a compelling and urgently needed piece of writing about what human beings are, where we stand, and what we can do about it.

Shariah: A Divine Code of Life
The Shariah is one of the most misunderstood and maligned Islamic terms in the West.
9780860376248
Abdur Rashid Siddiqui
"Shariah" is one of the most misunderstood and maligned Islamic terms in the West. In the minds of many people, the word conjures up images of uncivilized Muslims whipping criminals, stoning adulterers, and confining women within their homes. Yet, Shariah literally means a way or a path and, more specifically, the way to a watering place. Far from being a strict penal code, it is a humane, compassionate, and benevolent system of laws that guides Muslims, based on the Quran, the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad, and the interpretation of religious scholars. This book is a simple and concise guide to the Shariah (Islamic law) to explain its meaning, scope and operation in practical life, as well as helping readers understand and appreciate its value and necessity in the believer's life.

Rethinking Reform in Higher Education: From Islamization to Integration of Knowledge
The reform in higher education in Muslim societies is in sum a paradigm shift in perspective driven by important considerations including the aims of education itself.
9781565649774
Ziauddin Sardar and Jeremy Henzell-Thomas
The reform in higher education in Muslim societies is in sum a paradigm shift in perspective driven by important considerations including the aims of education itself. It may require reforming existing disciplines and inventing new ones, as well as working in conjunction with current knowledge and discourses by taking effective account of the ethical, spiritual norms of Muslim society and the guiding principles that it operates under, which in turn mark the underlying basis of its makeup and spiritual identity. Rather than creating divisions, reform of higher education in Muslim societies recognizes the plurality and diversity of the modern networked world, and seeks to replace sterile and uniform approaches to knowledge with a broader and more creative understanding of reality as lived on different soils and different cultures. Moderation, balance, and effective communication are paramount features of the underlying philosophy.

The Theory of Islamic Art: Aesthetic Concept and Epistemic Structure
Divine oneness as the principle of beauty is perhaps quintessentially Islamic artistic expression and experience and what it celebrates.
9781565646964
Idham Mohammed Hanash
Divine oneness as the principle of beauty is perhaps quintessentially Islamic artistic expression and experience and what it celebrates. Why has Islamic art evolved as it has; what forms does it take; what is the logic underlying it? What message is the Muslim artist attempting to convey; what emotion is he seeking to evoke? This work views Islamic art as a subject of archeological study and treats its evolution as part of the historical study of art in the broader sense. At the same time, it paves the way for an epistemological shift from viewing Islamic art as a material concept having to do with beautiful rarities and relics that have grown out of Islamic cultural and artistic creativity, to a theoretical concept associated with a vision, a principle, a theory, and a method. This theoretical concept provides the intellectual and cultural foundation for a critical philosophical science of Islamic artistic beauty to which we might refer as the science of Islamic art, or the Islamic aesthetic that evaluates visual artistic creations in terms of both beauty and practical usefulness. In the process, the study also explores orientalist misconceptions, challenging some of the premises with which it has approached Islamic art, with judgement rooted in a cultural framework alien to the spiritual perspective of Islam.

Reviving the Balance: The Authority of the Qur'an and the Status of the Sunnah
This work studies the position of the Sunnah in Islam and its fundamental relationship to the Quran.
The International Institute of Islamic Thought
9781565646902
Taha Jabir Alalwani
This work studies the position of the Sunnah in Islam and its fundamental relationship to the Quran. The author carefully examines the sensitive issue of the development of the oral and written traditions and the problems scholars faced despite painstaking work verifying the authenticity of reports, the character of narrators, and the ever growing complexity of a body of narratives that were making the simplicity and clarity of the Prophet's life, words, and actions a burgeoning maze of information. Taking the praiseworthy intention and effort to emulate the Prophet into account, the author nevertheless makes the case that once the Sunnah had been collected, the Muslim community began to neglect the Quran in favor of narrations of what the Prophet had done and said on the pretext that such narratives contained the Quran. Eventually they then abandoned the Sunnah narratives in favor of Islamic jurisprudence on the pretext that Islamic juristic texts tacitly included both the Quran and the Sunnah. It is with the aim of restoring the relationship between the two that this work has been written, that is, the Prophetic Sunnah must be tied inextricably to the Quran in a way that allows for no contradiction or conflict between the two, to avoid misapplication and abuse of hadith, and to meet the requirements and challenges of a new age.

Ijtihad and Renewal
Ijtihad and Renewal is an analysis of ijtihad and the role it can play for a positive Muslim revival in the modern world, a revival based on society-wide economic and educational reform and development.
9781565649750
Said Shabbar
In the early centuries of Islam the response of Muslims to problem-solving the various issues and challenges that faced their rapidly expanding community was to use intelligence and independent reasoning based on the Quran and Sunnah to address them. This practice is known as ijtihad. As the centuries wore on however the gates of ijtihad were generally closed in favor of following existing rulings developed by scholars by way of analogy. And as reason and intellect, now held captive to madhhabs (schools of thought) and earlier scholarly opinion, stagnated so did the Muslim world. Ijtihad and Renewal is an analysis of ijtihad and the role it can play for a positive Muslim revival in the modern world, a revival based on society-wide economic and educational reform and development. It makes the case that the grafting of solutions rooted in the past onto the complex and unique realities of our own age, in a one-size-fits-all perspective, has paralyzed the vitality of Muslim thought, and confused its sense of direction, and that to revive the Muslim world from its centuries of decline and slumber we need to revive the practice of ijtihad. Focusing attention on thinking through solutions for ourselves based on our own times and context, using the Quran and Sunnah, as well as the wisdom and experience of the past distilled from these, as tools in this endeavor whilst not the only solution, is certainly a viable and powerful one.

Your Money Matters The Islamic Approach to Business, Money and Work
The issue of religion in business and personal financial matters may seem incongruous in the context of the twenty-first century.
9786035012539
Dr. Mohammad Rahman
The issue of religion in business and personal financial matters may seem incongruous in the context of the twenty-first century. However, Islam as a religion has always paid attention to material issues. By its very definition of 'submission,' Islam imbues every aspect of a Muslim's life, and that includes money management. Today, personal and business financial issues affect nearly every one of the billion or so Muslims across the globe in one way or another. Not surprisingly, the twenty-first century has already witnessed the phenomenal rise of Islamic finance to a multi-billion dollar industry. This book highlights issues in Islam that are important and relevant to Muslims when they engage in tasks related to personal finances, business administration, investment, and work. Readers will find an overview of relevant excerpts from the Quran and the authentic Sunnah. Non-Muslims as well can gain valuable insights from this book that should prove useful in today's multicultural business landscapes.

Reclaiming Jihad: A Qur'anic Critique of Terrorism
This book is a scholarly and necessary critique of why the crime of terrorism is inconsistent with the ethical outlook of the Qur'an

ElSayed M. A. Amin
"This book is a scholarly and necessary critique of why the crime of terrorism is inconsistent with the ethical outlook of the Qur'an. Anyone who wants to understand the Qur'an and its relationship to violence must read this book."—Khaled Abou El Fadl, Omar and Azmeralda Alfi Professor of Law and chair of Islamic studies program, UCLA School of Law. "In addition to illuminating the root causes of terrorism, this book is a real contribution to the interfaith dialogue."—Muhammad Abu Layla, professor of the comparative religions at al-Azhar University, Cairo. "A critique that challenges contemporary perceptions of the relationship between Islam and violence. The book can be seriously commended to both specialists and non-specialists in Qur'anic Studies, theology, and political science."—Jabal M. Buaben, associate professor, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Sultan Omar 'Ali Saifuddien Centre for Islamic Studies. ElSayed Amin critiques misreadings of key verses in the Qur'an that have been used to establish violence as the relational norm between Muslims and non-Muslims. He distinguishes both Islamic jihad and armed deterrence from modern terrorism through examination of the 9/11 attacks, and proposes legal proscriptions for terrorism from the Qur'an on the basis of its political, social, and psychological impacts. ElSayed Amin is a senior lecturer of Islamic studies in English at al-Azhar University in Egypt and a visiting postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Brunei Darussalam (UBD) in Brunei. He is a member of the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs in Cairo, and a former Fulbright Scholar.

Paradise on Fire: Syed Ali Geelani & the Struggle for Freedom in Kashmir
A passionate and committed account of Kashmir's struggle for freedom over the last 65 years, and a close-up and personal study of its leading figure, Syed Ali Geelani
9780860376842
Abdul Hakeem
A passionate and committed account of Kashmir's struggle for freedom over the last 65 years, and a close-up and personal study of its leading figure, Syed Ali Geelani, which gets behind the stereotype of Indian Muslims as terrorists. An ignored but serious global flashpoint, Kashmir is at the root of tensions between India and Pakistan, the two nuclear states of South Asia, who have fought three wars over it. The heart of the problem is the right of self-determination of Kashmir's fifteen million people, a right denied to them since 1947. Since 1989, 90,000 people have been killed, over 100,000 have been injured, and over 10,000 are missing, and mass graves continue to be unearthed. Paradise on Fire is the story of the struggle for national liberation of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, spearheaded by Syed Ali Shah Geelani. This political biography of Kashmir's leading freedom fighter reveals the true horror of the Kashmir dispute, the dynamics of this historical struggle for self-determination, and Geelani's huge contribution in leading this search for liberation.

New Directions in Islamic Education: Pedagogy and Identity Formation
New Directions in Islamic Education explores the relationship between pedagogy and the formation of religious identities within Islamic education settings that are based in minority and majority Muslim contexts.
9781847740588
Abdullah Sahin
New Directions in Islamic Education explores the relationship between pedagogy and the formation of religious identities within Islamic education settings that are based in minority and majority Muslim contexts. Based on empirical research, the book engages critically with the philosophical, theological and cultural dynamics that inform Muslim educational thought and practice. The book offers an integrated model of Islamic education that identifies the heart of the Islamic educational imagination as tarbiyah, a transformative process of becoming. Overall, this book seeks to ground the theory and practice of Islamic education within the experience of the educator and the learner, and it synthesises the spiritual foundations of Islam with the tradition of critical reflection within the classical Muslim educational heritage. This ground breaking and wide-ranging work should be of interest not only to Muslim educators and education specialists, but also to social scientists, theologians and policy makers.

First Principles of Islamic Economics
Collects together the major writings on Islamic economics
Islamic Foundation
9780860374923
Sayyid Abul Ala Mawdudi
First Principles of Islamic Economics collects together the major writings on Islamic economics by Sayyid Abul A'la Mawdudi (1903-79), one of the leading Muslim intellectuals of the twentieth century. Written between the 1930s and the 1960s, Mawdudi laid down the foundations of modern Islamic economic philosophy. Drawing upon the teachings of the Qur'an and sunnah, Mawdudi spelled out major elements of a new paradigm for economic analysis and policy, wherein economic pursuits take place in the context of moral values and directed towards achievement of personal and social objectives. The uniqueness of this approach lies in making efficiency and equity inseparable and interdependent. In an Islamic framework, creation and distribution of wealth become instrumental in promoting individual and social well being, enabling the economic discipline to open up pathways to economic development, social justice and human welfare.

Islamic Rules of Order
Includes advice on writing bylaws...
9781590080535
Organizations must have rules of order to facilitate their debate and to fill in the procedures not detailed by their constitutional documents. While most American organizations are content to operate by Robert's Rules of Order, Muslim organizations have often wrestled with questions over whether the rules of order systemized by a Western military figure are in accordance with the Qur'an and the sunnah. This book tackles the matter directly and takes into account the Qur'an, the sunnah, Islamic manners and the history of Islamic consultation and leadership to provide a simple, practical guide to organizational procedure that can be incorporated into the governance of Muslim organizations. The book includes advice on writing bylaws and on complying with the best practices of the U.S. Dept. of Justice in a way that is Islamically authentic, transparent, and accountable. It provides a basic starting point for any Muslim organization while allowing for flexibility so that organizations may make any variations they require within their own bylaws and constitution, so that it can accommodate differing schools of thought on Islamic law. In its discursive approach it is an essential primer for understanding the value of rules of order and the Islamic context for their application.The Islamic Rules of Order has been adopted as the rules of order of the Association of Muslims Social Scientists.

A Treasury of Sacred Maxims: A Commentary on Legal Principles
This inspiring collection of sacred maxims is drawn from the genre known in Arabic as al-qawā‘id al-fiqhiyyah.
9781847740960
Shahrul Hussain
This inspiring collection of sacred maxims is drawn from the genre known in Arabic as al-qawā‘id al-fiqhiyyah. These maxims are pithy sayings that Islamic scholars use as a guide for Islamic practice in a wide range of areas, from the rituals of worship to financial transactions. Though technically translated as “legal maxims”, the array of topics these maxims cover encompass the core ethical principles at the heart of the Shariah. Given its concision, each maxim is rich in meaning, and the commentary provided by Dr Shahrul Hussain gives us a glimpse into the maxim’s significance. The commentaries, written by a Western Islamic scholar, bring out the relevance of each maxim to the English speaking reader. This latest instalment in Kube’s Treasury Series in Islamic Thought and Civilisation, will help deepen the understanding of key aspects of Shariah in its legal and ethical dimensions.

Psychology from the Islamic Perspective
Psychology is one of the most intriguing scientific disciplines as humans are inherently curious about their own nature.
9786035011082
Dr. Aisha Utz
Psychology is one of the most intriguing scientific disciplines as humans are inherently curious about their own nature. Ironically, there are a multitude of theories and explanations that mislead and confuse the very same creatures that they are meant to describe. Allah has blessed us with guidance in all facets of our lives, including our souls and psyches. Islam offers an uncomplicated, comprehensive, and precise theory of our spiritual nature, our purpose and priorities in life, and how we can attain serenity and happiness in this life and the next. This book is a humble effort to expound upon the true conceptualization of human psychology based upon the Quran and Sunnah. Moreover, Dr. Utz includes specific references to scientific research that corresponds to, and builds upon, what is already known from revelation.
