Observance Of Economic Values In Andalusian Nawazil Heritage And Its Impact On Rationalizing Commercial Conduct: Deriving General Foundations And Their Applications In Branches And Specific Cases, Ahmed El Kadaoui
Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Islamic Economics
This research falls within the context of establishing a value system that governs and directs commercial behavior in an era where economic actions are driven by the hegemony of profit and wealth, and are detached from ethical oversight, leading to the spread of negative values in the markets that were previously uncommon to the public. The research aims to shed light on economic values from an Islamic perspective and their ability to guide commercial behavior. The research also seeks to bridge the gap between the operational environment of commercial behavior and the theoretical framework of these values from the perspective …
Drop Shipping From The Perspective Of Financial Transactions: A Fiqh Study On Its Concept And Characterization, Sara Ali Ahmad Al-Hiary
Drop Shipping From The Perspective Of Financial Transactions: A Fiqh Study On Its Concept And Characterization, Sara Ali Ahmad Al-Hiary
Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Islamic Economics
Electronic selling has become a fundamental aspect of contemporary life. The flexibility of Islam accommodates this practice as long as it serves the interests of the people, facilitates their lives, and does not involve anything forbidden by a definitive text or general rule. This research aims to shed light on drop shipping sales, a new type of sale that is similar to Murabaha sale which Islamic jurists have deemed lawful as they fall under the general permissibility of selling and trading to fulfill people’s needs, provided that there is no gharar, darar, or Riba involved and that regulations and laws …
Singing A Wide Heart: Timbre And Sung Prayer In Senegal’S Layène Community, Margaret L. Rowley
Singing A Wide Heart: Timbre And Sung Prayer In Senegal’S Layène Community, Margaret L. Rowley
Yale Journal of Music & Religion
Layène sung prayer (called sikkar) is embedded within the religious practices of the Layène community, a minority Sufi order in Dakar, Senegal. This article explores the functions of Layène sung prayer, focusing especially on its loud, vibrational timbre. Both men and women vocalists in call-and-response sing loudly, using wide vibrato and electronic amplification to ensure that the sikkar reaches the inhabitants—both human and non-human—in the surrounding community. This article demonstrates that the distinctive timbre of Layène sung prayer serves the spiritual functions of binding the community together in spiritual and social cohesion, increasing individual and collective generosity, and demarcating …

Resilience is defined as the ability to overcome challenges and catastrophes, envision solutions, and lead a purposeful life. This article conceptualizes resilience not only as a personal trait but also as a collective tool for survival and …

Escalation Pathways To The April War And The Dynamics Of Sudan's Political Economy, Salih Mustafa, Osama Hassan, Nagi Alassam
Escalation Pathways To The April War And The Dynamics Of Sudan's Political Economy, Salih Mustafa, Osama Hassan, Nagi Alassam
The Journal of Social Encounters
This paper analyzes the escalation processes that led to the outbreak of the April 2023 war in Sudan, based on Wolfram Lacher's theoretical framework of "escalation processes". The paper focuses on tracing the escalatory trajectories that preceded the war, analyzing the complex interplay between structural, political, and economic factors, as well as the impact of the political economy on the dynamics of the conflict and its escalation to full-scale war.
The Sudanese Identity In The Mirror Of Colonial And Post-Independence History, Abdalla Galaleldeen
The Sudanese Identity In The Mirror Of Colonial And Post-Independence History, Abdalla Galaleldeen
The Journal of Social Encounters
After independence, Sudan’s political elite adopted colonial-inspired policies that sought to divide the country into North and South (Arabs versus Africans). This policy was further reinforced by the civil wars and by the failures of the Sudanese political elite to construct a cohesive national identity. In the post-independence period, one elite group aligned itself with an Arab identity, while another embraced an African identity. Logically, therefore, both identities—Islamic-Arab and African—encompass the majority of the population. Yet, while Islamists and Africanists each claimed to represent this majority, neither addressed the contradictions inherent in their positions. As the tension between the Islamic-Arab …
The Conflict In Sudan: An Overview, Mad Gabriel
The Conflict In Sudan: An Overview, Mad Gabriel
The Journal of Social Encounters
It has been more than two years since the war erupted in Sudan. Although the crisis initially started between two warring parties, it has expanded beyond the two with the involvement of multiple actors. However, the current conflict is complicated and has deep historical origins. It increased after the 2019 revolution, with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) battling for power and control. On the other hand, the situation has deteriorated dramatically, as the economy suffered from the continuation of the war, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Additionally, Health systems have crumbled, schooling has …

This report documents attacks on civilians and objects essential for their survival in Sudan. It concludes that both parties to the conflict violated international human rights and humanitarian law, with most violations amounting to war crimes. The Rapid Support Forces’ conduct may also constitute crimes against humanity, including persecution and extermination. The report calls for accountability and sets out a roadmap for justice.

Engaging The Somali Diaspora: A Case Study Of One Agency’S Community Programming Approach, Farhia Abdi
The Journal of Social Encounters
This case study investigates how a local community agency engages with the Somali diaspora to design and implement culturally responsive services, such as the Settlement and Integration Program. It also explores the potential of fostering meaningful dialogue with community members to inform the development of culturally sensitive programming. The research question guiding this study was developed by findings from previous research, which highlighted the significance of community engagement, sustained dialogue, and the necessity for agencies to design clearly defined programs. These programs should prioritize active participation from community members in both the creation and implementation of tailored initiatives.
Hezbollah's Military Setback: From Strategic Strength To Political Dilemma—A Comprehensive Analysis, Habib Albadawi
Hezbollah's Military Setback: From Strategic Strength To Political Dilemma—A Comprehensive Analysis, Habib Albadawi
The Journal of Social Encounters
This study examines the unprecedented military transformation of Hezbollah from 2024 to 2025, analyzing how technological superiority and strategic constraints have fundamentally altered the effectiveness of irregular warfare organizations. Through extensive analysis of organizational adaptation, technological disruption, and external dependencies, this research investigates the paradox of how advanced military capabilities, when constrained by external dependencies, can become operational liabilities rather than strategic assets. The study employs multiple theoretical frameworks to understand this transformation and its implications for future irregular warfare.
Democracy, Rights, Historical Memory, And Interfaith Relations In The Works Of Fatima Mernissi And Asma Uddin, Jon Armajani
Democracy, Rights, Historical Memory, And Interfaith Relations In The Works Of Fatima Mernissi And Asma Uddin, Jon Armajani
The Journal of Social Encounters
The works of Moroccan-born Muslim scholar Fatima Mernissi (1940-2015) and United States-born Muslim scholar Asma T. Uddin (b. 1980) are distinctive contributions in modern conversations about the intersections of Islam, law, human and civil rights as well as historical memory and interfaith relations (AncestryLibrary, n.d.; Fox, 2015; Florida Bar, n.d.; Justia Lawyers, n.d.; Rodoski, 2011; Sadiqi, 2018).[i] Mernissi, who was a professor of sociology at Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco, and Uddin, who is an attorney and scholar based in the United States, are influential and delve into the intricate relationships between Islamic ideas and modern legal frameworks, …
Restorative Nostalgia And Religious Nationalism: Lessons From Srebrenica, Noreen Herzfeld
Restorative Nostalgia And Religious Nationalism: Lessons From Srebrenica, Noreen Herzfeld
The Journal of Social Encounters
Svetlana Boym uses the term restorative nostalgia to describe a collective nostalgia, based on an idealization of the past that is used by nationalist groups to motivate their followers. When linked with religion, this type of nostalgia is particularly damaging, frequently leading to sharp ethnic or religious divisions, a demonization of the other, and even war or genocide. The war in Bosnia and Herzegovina presents an example of such nostalgia on the part of the Serbs. An idealization and its resultant rhetoric on the part of Serbian political and religious figures envisioned an imagined future rooted in nostalgia for a …

Economic Protection From An Islamic Economic Perspective, Nabeela Al-Alwanah, Adnan Rababah
Economic Protection From An Islamic Economic Perspective, Nabeela Al-Alwanah, Adnan Rababah
Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series
The study aimed to explain the theoretical and jurisprudential foundations of protectionist policies in both man-made and Islamic economies. The study concluded that economic protection involves the state’s use of its legislative and executive powers to direct and develop its economy, taking the necessary measures and methods to regulate internal and external exchanges, protect domestic production, and preserve its national market. Additionally, the study found that economic protection is grounded in its legal basis, based on the principle of the legal policy followed by the leadership of any country to manage national affairs.

Proposals For Reforming The International Monetary System From The Islamic Economy Perspective, Wejdan Al-Soudy
Proposals For Reforming The International Monetary System From The Islamic Economy Perspective, Wejdan Al-Soudy
Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series
This research aims to examine various monetary systems proposed by economists in the literature and evaluate proposals within the Islamic economy for reforming the monetary system. The study concludes that money has increasingly become an end in itself rather than a tool for exchange or a standard for measuring value, leading to disruptions in both local and international monetary systems. Additionally, the dominance of the U.S. dollar as the global currency has contributed to numerous international crises. Consequently, most reform proposals in the literature seek to establish a new international monetary system capable of addressing and mitigating these disruptions.

To this end, a scientific approach is adopted to quote, document, discuss, and reconcile these perspectives. The study concludes that the law aligns with the priority and choice methods based on the principles and objectives of Sharia, …
Unique Provisions Of Jordanian Marital Status Law No. 36 Of 2010 In Divorce, Differing From The Four Fiqh Schools, Mohammad Al-Jablai
Unique Provisions Of Jordanian Marital Status Law No. 36 Of 2010 In Divorce, Differing From The Four Fiqh Schools, Mohammad Al-Jablai
Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series
The present study examines certain provisions in the Divorce Section of Jordanian Marital Status Law No. 36 of 2010, in which legislative choices diverge from those made by mainstream scholars within the four Fiqh schools. The study investigates the intentions of the Jordanian legislator through a review of this section. It is found that there are only three such cases, which notably present a different perspective. The researcher recommends a thorough review of the religious basis underlying the law’s choice concerning future-included divorce, specifically Article 87, Paragraph (b), due to ambiguities in its wording. This aligns with the same jurisprudential …

Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series
The world is now turning towards sustainable development that preserves natural resources, the rights and wealth of future generations, protects the environment, and reduces pollution. The social responsibility of Waqf, or "consecrated," Mosques in Islam aligns with these objectives by emphasizing the role of the Mosque and its importance in shaping public opinion and raising awareness among society members about issues related to social, environmental, economic, and other areas. This research highlights the dimensions of the social responsibility of Waqf Mosques in both ancient and modern times and their connection to sustainable development from an Islamic perspective, including a presentation …

In referencing scholars' views on legacy issues, the researcher aims to shed light on a type of legacy situated between abstract financial assets and personal rights, termed as "the two similarities legacy." This is accompanied by an attempt to demonstrate the parallels and likenesses between digital …

Logical Intelligence In Light Of The Prophetic Sunnah, Asma Bani Amer
Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series
This study focuses on an aspect related to the text of the Hadith, known as the subject-related Hadith. Specifically, it examines the Hadiths concerning what is called motor intelligence, in light of the Prophetic Sunnah. Modern education has paid attention to what is called multiple intelligences, including: bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, which is one of the forms of intelligence that emphasizes physical skills and athletic abilities. This aspect holds great importance in the Sunnah; therefore, the study aims to clarify the concept of motor intelligence, the extent of Islam’s concern with this aspect, and its most prominent expressions in light of the …

Literary And Artistic Property Rights Between Regular Courts And Administrative Courts: A Comparative Study Of Jordan And Egypt, Noor Al-Hindi
Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series
This study addresses literary and artistic property rights within the context of the ordinary and administrative judiciary, focusing on the legal framework for the deposit of these rights under the Jordanian and Egyptian Copyright and Neighboring Rights Protection Laws.

The department is responsible for maintaining records …
Reason’S Constraint And Textual Authority In Imam Al-Shafi‘I’S Legal Methodology: A Critical Usulī Examination, Dr. Ahmed Mohamed Azzab Moussa
Reason’S Constraint And Textual Authority In Imam Al-Shafi‘I’S Legal Methodology: A Critical Usulī Examination, Dr. Ahmed Mohamed Azzab Moussa
Faculty Peer-Reviewed Papers | بحوث هيئة التدريس المحكمة
This study addresses one of the most critical issues in contemporary intellectual discourse: the role and status of reason in legal inference (istidlāl) in the thought of Imam al-Shāfiʿī. It focuses particularly on the widespread claim that Imam al-Shāfiʿī formulated his legal methodology with a bias toward textual authority at the expense of rational deliberation. Critics have even alleged that Imam al-Shāfiʿī sought to confine reason within strict boundaries, as evidenced- according to them- by his emphasis on the Arabic language of the Qur’an, his reliance on the Sunnah and analogical reasoning (qiyās), and his rejection of juristic preference (istiḥsān). …
The Islamic Approach To Combating Administrative Corruption, Kayed Qaroush
The Islamic Approach To Combating Administrative Corruption, Kayed Qaroush
Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series
Corruption is considered a global phenomenon that exists in both developing and developed countries; the latter are not immune from it. It manifests in various forms, such as political, financial, environmental, and administrative corruption. However, this research is focused on the administrative type, which is linked to the questionable conduct of certain public officials, including illegal gains through bribery and gifts, abuse of power, breach of trust (such as embezzlement, coercion, or forgery), and adherence to bureaucratic behavior characterized by closed-door policies. It also covers the imposition of unfair tax policies in an attempt to address economic imbalances. This research …
