Research Publications (2016 to 2020)

Maqasid al-shari’ah memainkan peranan yang penting dalam penetapan dan pelaksanaan hukum fiqh yang waqi’iyy dalam usaha mencapai kebaikan dan menolak kemudaratan. Salah satu cabang fiqh ialah tentang hukum halal makanan dan minuman yang menjadi asas kepada pelaksanaan pensijilan halal hari ini. Oleh kerana Malaysia adalah sebuah negara yang majoriti penduduknya bermazhab Syafi’i, penetapan standard dan prosedur pensijilan halalnya banyak didasarkan kepada fiqh mazhab Syafi’i.

Namun begitu, apabila ditinjau perkembangan ilmu maqasid al-shari’ah yang meletakkan ukuran maslahah …

Polemics And Patronage In The City Of Victory, Valerie Stoker

Books Authored by Wright State Faculty/Staff

How did the patronage activities of India’s Vijayanagara Empire (c. 1346–1565) influence Hindu sectarian identities? Although the empire has been commonly viewed as a Hindu bulwark against Islamic incursion from the north or as a religiously ecumenical state, Valerie Stoker argues that the Vijayanagara court was selective in its patronage of religious institutions. To understand the dynamic interaction between religious and royal institutions in this period, she focuses on the career of the Hindu intellectual and monastic leader Vyasatirtha. An agent of the state and a powerful religious authority, Vyasatirtha played an important role in expanding the empire’s economic and …

Research Publications (2016 to 2020)

Walau bagaimanapun, penentuan kriteria-kriteria tersebut memerlukan penilaian semasa kerana ia dipengaruhi oleh ’urf dan sosioekonomi masyarakat di sesuatu tempat.

The Evolution Of The Malaysian Diplomatic Relation With West Asia: Special Reference To Malaysia-Qatar Relations, L. Thalib

Research Publications (2016 to 2020)

Malaysia's foreign policy has traditionally focused on Southeast Asia and its friendS in the West. West Asia was not a priority in its foreign policy despite the long established historical, social, and religious connection between Malaysia and the region. It was not until April 1965 that Malaysia began to develop closer cooperation with members of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC). The OIC was established with the fundamental purpose of strengthening the solidarity and cooperation among the 59 Members States. Malaysia values its participation within the OIC as part of its foreign policy strategy with other Muslim countries. During …

Pan-Arabism And The United Arab Republic, Michael Habib

Harriet L Wilkes Honors College Theses 2010 - 2019

I argue this to provide a new perspective on the Middle East and the Arab world, by showing how it came to be as it is. I organize my thesis into four chapters: I. Introduction: Arab Unity and its Limits, II. The Marriage of Syria and Egypt, III. The UAR and the Cold War IV. The Collapse of the United Arab Republic. I analyze the factors that brought …

Secret Jurisdiction, Irina D. Manta

Emory Law Journal

So-called ¿confidentiality creep¿ after the events of 9/11 has given rise to travel restrictions that lack constitutionality and do nothing to improve airline security. The Executive Branch¿s procedures for imposing such restrictions rely on several layers of secrecy: a secret standard for inclusion on the no-fly list, secret procedures for nominating individuals to the list, and secret evidence to support that decision. This combination results in an overall system we call ¿secret jurisdiction,¿ in which individuals wanting to challenge their inclusion on the list are unable to learn the specific evidence against them, the substantive standard for their inclusion on …

Islamic Law And Constitution-Making: The Authoritarian Temptation And The Arab Spring, Mohammad Fadel

Osgoode Legal Studies Research Paper Series

The political dynamics that have characterized post-Mubarak Egypt have often been understood to be a battle between "religious" forces, represented by the Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters, and "secularist" forces, represented by a diverse group of civil society actors. Opposition of this latter group to the "religious" politics of the Muslim Brotherhood is therefore understood to be the primary cause of the events that led to the July 3, 2013 military coup that overthrew Egypt's only freely elected President, Mohammed Morsi. Without denying the salience of a religious-secularist divide in Egypt, this narrative of post-Mubarak politics fails to appreciate the …
