Showing results for "LAW" in Islam

You think you know about Islam. But, did you know that Islam teaches that Muslims must wage war to impose Islamic law on non-Muslim states, or that American Muslim groups are engaged in a huge cover-up of Islamic doctrine? These and other "politically incorrect" facts are revealed by Robert Spencer in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades).

Islamic law is one of the major legal systems in the world today, yet it is often misunderstood, particularly in the West. It is applicable in different forms as part of state law in countries across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, and also has a strong influence on Muslim communities throughout the Western world. This Very Short Introduction provides an authoritative perspective on the evolution and nature of Islamic law.

The Removal of Blame from the Great Imāms is an annotated translation of Ibn Taymiyyah's classical jurisprudential treatise Rafʿ al-Malām ʿAn al-Aʾimmah al-Aʿlām. This foundational text in Islamic legal theory examines the methodological basis for scholarly disagreement among mujtahid jurists.

Learn about the intricacies of sharia law with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series.

Sharia law is the law of the religion of Islam. The "sharia" means the "path" Muslims should follow if they are to lead good lives. Sharia law regulates not only human relationships between individuals, like other legal systems, but also human relationships with God. Therefore, sharia is much more than a law as Westerners know it. It is an entire way of life for Muslims.

What happens when authorities you venerate condone something you know is wrong? What does this mean about what you’ve been venerating? No issue brings this question into starker contrast than slavery. Every major religion and philosophy condoned or approved of it, but in modern times there is nothing seen as more evil. Americans confront this crisis of authority when they erect statues of Founding Fathers who slept with their slaves. And Muslims faced it when ISIS revived sex slavery, justifying it with verses from the Quran and the practice of Muhammad.

Why are Muslim men portrayed as inherently violent? Does the veil violate women's rights? Is Islam stopping Muslims from integrating? Across western societies, Muslims are more misunderstood than any other minority. But what does it mean to believe in Islam today, to have forged your beliefs and identity in the shadow of 9/11 and the War on Terror? Exploding stereotypes from both inside and outside the faith, The Muslim Problem shows that while we may think we know all about Islam we are often wrong about even the most basic facts.

A direct counterpoint to fear mongering headlines about shariah law—a Muslim American legal expert tells the real story, eliminating stereotypes and assumptions with compassion, irony, and humor Through scare tactics and deliberate misinformation campaigns, anti-Muslim propagandists insist...

Bij het woord sharia denken velen spontaan aan rigide wetten met brute lijfstraffen en het verplicht dragen van de boerka. Die negatieve connotatie hangt erg samen met de interpretatie die bewegingen als de Taliban en Islamitische Staat aan de sharia hebben gegeven. Maar als moslims in Nederland en België zeggen volgens de sharia te willen leven, willen ze gewoon een goed mens zijn door zich te houden aan de verzameling regels van de islam. Bijvoorbeeld over hoe te vasten, te bidden en om te gaan met elkaar en met anderen.

Immergersi nell'universo mentale musulmano per rintracciare i percorsi attraverso i quali la consapevolezza politica dell'Islam è maturata fornisce di quella civiltà un'immagine polivalente, assai sfaccettata e di certo lontana dagli stereotipi. È quanto fa l'audiolibro, che illustra "dall'interno" le implicazioni della politica nell'ambito della dottrina dello stato e del potere, della teologia e della storia islamica, in riferimento ai paradigmi della teologia politica e dell'utopia retrospettiva.

How did Muslims across time and place define the line between themselves and their neighbors? Youshaa Patel explores why the Prophet Muhammad first advised his followers to emulate Christians and Jews, but then allegedly reversed course, urging them to "be different!" He details how subsequent generations of Muslim scholars canonized the Prophet's admonition into an influential doctrine against imitation that enjoined ordinary believers to embody and display their religious difference in public life.

Using his unique lens as a critical race theorist and law professor, Khaled A. Beydoun captures the many ways in which law, policy, and official state rhetoric have fueled the frightening resurgence of Islamophobia in the US.

Now Raheem Kassam, a courageous reporter and editor at Breitbart.com, takes us where few journalists have dared to tread - inside the No Go Zones, revealing areas that Western governments, including the United States, don't want to admit exist within their own borders.
