عناية دولة قطر بالمطبوعات القرآنية وسبل تقويمها: The care of the State of Qatar for Qur'anic publications and the means of evaluating them
Full text link
امتازت الحضارة الإسلامية بعنايتها بالكتب والمخطوطات، فمنذ الصدر الأول من الإسلام كتب النبي ﷺ إلى الملوك والأمراء، وكتب إلى أبي بكر في الصدقات، وعمر في أنصبة الزكاة، وأهل اليمن في أبواب الفقه المختلفة، كما دوّن كتّاب الوحي ما أُملي عليهم، ولم تكتفي الحضارة الإسلامية بذلك فحسب، بل حفظت تلك النصوص بلفظها أو معناها حتى وصلت إلينا، مما يشير ذلك إلى قيمة الكتب والمكتبات التي ساهمت في تدوين التاريخ الإسلامي، فنجد -مثلاً- كتاب (المصباح المضيء في كتاب النبي الأمي، ورسله إلى ملوك الأرض من عربي وعجمي) لمؤلفه محمد بن علي بن حديدة الأنصاري، الذي قيّد نصوص مخاطبات النبي ﷺ، ولذلك فإن المكتبات الإسلامية زاخرة بما حوت في بطونها من كتب ومطبوعات في فنون مختلفة على مر القرون الطويلة.
إنّ أهمية هذا البحث تكمن في التعريف بدولة قطر، وبيان ما بذلته من عناية بالمطبوعات القرآنية خلال نصف قرن، والتي طبعتها إدارة إحياء التراث بوزارة التربية والتعليم، ومجلة الأمة التابعة للمحاكم الشرعية، وإدارة الشؤون الإسلامية، وإدارة البحوث والدراسات الإسلامية، التابعة لوزارة الأوقاف والشؤون الإسلامية، كما يقدم البحث حلول تقويمية، تساهم في تطوير تلك المطبوعات القرآنية بدولة قطر.
وقد سلك البحث المنهجين الاستقرائي والتحليلي في تناول مفردات البحث وأقسامه، كما خلص البحث إلى جملة من النتائج من أبرزها: أن جميع المطبوعات امتازت بالنشر المجاني، كما امتازت مطبوعات وزارة الأوقاف والشؤون الإسلامية -في الآونة الأخيرة- بالتحقيق الجيد والطبعة الفاخرة، إلى غير ذلك من النتائج.
The Islamic civilisation has been well known for its care for books and manuscripts. Since the early days of Islam, writings from the Prophet (PBUH)PBUbh to kings and princes, letters to Abu Bakr concerning charity, to Umar regarding Zakat shares, and to the people of Yemen on various aspects of jurisprudence were all documented. In addition, the scribes of revelation transcribed what was dictated to them. Yet, Islamic civilization did not stop there; it preserved these texts, whether in wording or meaning until they reached us. This underscores the value placed on books and libraries, which contributed to documenting Islamic history. For example, the book al-Misbāḥ al-Muḍi' fī kitāb al-Nabi al-Ummī wa Rusulih ila Mulūk al-Arḍ min ʿArabī wa ʿajamī (The Luminous Lamp in the Book of the Illiterate Prophet, and His Messengers to the Kings of the Earth from Arabs and Non-Arabs) by its author Muhammad bin Ali bin Hadida al-Ansari, who compiled the texts of the of the Prophet's addresses. Thus, Islamic libraries have been full of books and publications on various arts throughout the centuries. The importance of this research lies in introducing the State of Qatar and explaining its dedication to Qur’anic publications for over half a century. These publications were printed by the Department of Heritage Revival at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, al-Ummah Magazine, affiliated with the Sharia Courts, the Department of Islamic Affairs, and the Department of Islamic Research and Studies, affiliated with the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs. Additionally, the research presents evaluative solutions to enhance these Qur’anic publications in the State of Qatar. The research employed both inductive and analytical approaches to examine the terminology and sections of the study. It concluded with several findings, notably that all publications were distinguished by free publishing. Furthermore, recent publications of the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs stood out for their excellent edition, high-quality printing, and some other results.
موقف الإمام أبي حنيفة من حديث رسول الله وحجّيته: Imam Abu Hanifah on the Hadith of the Prophet and its authority
Full text linkImam Abu Hanifa, may Allah have mercy on him, is one of the four great Imams followed by a vast number of Muslims around the world, and his followers outnumber the rest in the world. There is no doubt that the Imam adhered to the Holy Qur’an, the authentic Prophetic Sunnah, the consensus of the Companions, and sound analogical reasoning. These are the fundamental sources of Islamic jurisprudence in all schools of thought. Despite this, Imam Abu Hanifa has been opposed and criticized by many, with baseless accusations. Some claim that Abu Hanifa had little knowledge of the Prophetic Hadith. Others say he only knew 17 Hadiths, and some go further to assert that he knew only 130 Hadiths, of which he forgot or confused 120, either by altering the chain of transmission or changing the text unknowingly, leaving him with only 10 Hadiths in possession. Is it conceivable that someone with such limited knowledge of the Hadith of the Prophet, peace be upon him, could be among the greatest Imams of the Muslims, followed by the majority of Muslims across the world?
The opinions of scholars about him differ. Some were moderately fair, their piety preventing them from attacking him, while others exceeded all bounds, not fearing any punishment from Allah the Almighty, and thus narrated false accounts. We wish if these people had restrained their tongues out of fear of Allah! Did their piety not prevent them from sharing everything they heard or read with the masses about this great Imam, who met his Lord with a pure and sincere heart? Allah granted him blessings in this world, and in the Hereafter. He will be among the close ones to Allah, leaving behind a lasting legacy. Peace be upon Abu Hanifa al-Nuʿman.
This study addresses the accusations directed at al-Nuʿman—the Greatest Imam—using an inductive, analytical, and critical methodology to establish the truth. Of course, we do not claim that Imam Abu Hanifa was infallible, by Allah! no! No one has the right to make such a claim, not even about the Prophets, except that Allah forgave the Prophets for their past and future sins. This study does not aim to prove that Abu Hanifa, may Allah have mercy on him, was correct and truthful in everything he said, but rather to distinguish truth from falsehood, whether it was said by the Hanafi school, the scholars of Hadith, or other schools of thought. This is what we call upon all esteemed scholars to do, regardless of their affiliations, and without bias

Integrating the Sunnah Practice into the Operation of E-Commerce
Full text linkOne of the hallmarks of the 21st century is that every aspect of human life has been revolutionized by science, information, and technology (ICT). Perhaps, one may be tempted to call the contemporary society a digital human society because of the impact of science, information, and technology (ICT) in every human endeavour. Business activities would have suffered a great set back during the period of the pandemic but a recourse to e-commerce opened several business opportunities which people have not ever imagined. For the fact that Islam sanctions buying and selling hence e-commerce is lawful. Making e-commerce to conform with the Islamic principles requires integrating Sunnah practice in its operations. Exploratory and descriptive survey research methods were adopted. The instrument for data collection is Sunnah Practice and E-commerce Questionnaire (SPEQ). Frequency distribution and percentage were used as methods of data analysis. The purpose of this study therefore is to examine the principles of business transaction as practised by the Prophet to improve the operation of e-commerce. The findings of the study revealed that the operation of e-commerce gains huge patronage because it makes business transaction easy and pleasurable. It saved nations’ economies during the pandemic era. One of its disadvantages is that it encourages fraudulent practices just to mention but a few. Among the recommendations suggested by the study is that the contact address, phone number, and email of online companies or retailers be displayed online for the easy contact in case the customers have complaint to make. The study concluded that the e-commerce can be improved if the Sunnah practice is incorporated into its operation
FOUNDATIONS OF APPLIED RESEARCH IN THE HOLY QUR’ĀN: THE DIVINE MOTIVATION IN RESEARCH AND SOCIAL CHANGE
Full text linkThis research addresses the concept, objectives, methods, and the Qur’anic basis of applied research and the role of this form of research in achieving social change. Cause and effect are shown in how the growing world population is reducing the lands for cultivation. Subsequently, food shortages impact on social ecosystem, social justice, and social change causing a major social problem. Applied research plays a vital role to cope with such problems and challenges. Applied research is used to find solutions to common problems. This research finds that the Holy Qur’ān does not mention applied research; yet there is a basis of applied research in it. The research shows the application of the Qur’anic motivation in applied research in order to social change through increasing agricultural commodities. It provides examples of the role of applied research in the field of agriculture in the United States of America, Bangladesh, and Malaysia to generate agricultural products. In addition, to demonstrate the application of basic, scientific, and applied research through a multi-disciplinary approach, the researchers describe how a team of scientists is currently working on the ambitious project in order to transform rice from a C3 plant into a C4 plant. This research is based on reviewing library resources. The researcher used three methodologies: inductive, qualitative, and analytical approaches
HALAL INDUSTRY CERTIFICATION ASPECTS: CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK BASED ON THE THEMATIC STUDY OF THE QUR’AN
Full text linkThe article aims to analyze the different aspects of the halal certification process based on the thematic study of the Quran’s verses containing the word halal. The themes are -legislation, the practicality of the legislation, elimination of harm, and positive impact. Based on these themes and principles the conceptual framework is developed and various aspects of the halal certification process are analyzed. For analysis purposes, market leaders in 5 sectors are chosen. The qualitative analysis relied on online reports, company websites, research papers, and webinar proceedings. The study establishes a link between Quranic themes and Shariah principles. From the content analysis, it has been found that the most widely applied theme in all sectors is eliminating impurity; the most overlooked theme is positive impact. Leaders in the food and finance sector have a diversified Shariah board. However, shariah principles need to be incorporated in analyzing the customer demand, especially for processed food and clothing. The research is expected to assist the policymakers and other stakeholders in establishing a framework for halal certification that would maintain the label's integrity. The thematic study of the Quran highlights the necessity to take initiatives to reduce the knowledge gap, develop tools to assess customer demand, and the impact of consuming halal goods and services from a Shariah perspective. Such initiatives would assist in developing more halal products and services and boost economic and social impact
ISLAM AND EVOLUTION: A BRIEF REVIEW OF QURANIC CONCEPT AND CONTEMPORARY THOUGHTS
Full text linkOf all the biological theories, the speculation of human evolution considerably poses a noteworthy challenge to the Islamic standpoint because it directly threatens the central position of mankind in this universe. According to the Qur’anic point of view, the miracle of the creation of man directly belongs to Allah almighty’s intention and His deliberate will. That’s why Human Evolution has turned out to be a hot discussion amongst believers and non-believers, as it can’t be rejected or accepted in one stroke. The Muslim thinkers appeared to be typically hostile and suspicious of human evolution, meanwhile, the evolutionists area unit is busy to prove that homology (similarities amongst species) shows common ancestry of different species. Anyhow, bioscience has rejected this theory as it contains contradictory statements due to some faulty assumptions like it can’t answer a straightforward question: “How did life come into existence on this planet, namely Earth?” But Sacred writing (Qur’an) has created an unambiguous and absolute conception in this regard. The purpose of this qualitative research mainly has two folds. The first is to spotlight the conception of the evolution of man in step with primary sources of Islamic shari`ah (Qur’an and Hadith), and the second is to analyze the theology of the researchers, philosophers, and scholars based on human evolution. However, the theory of evolution is not ideologically appreciated by Islamic groups. In fact, it is considered nothing but a material-based thought. Somebody ought to be very careful to make a final statement concerning human evolution without a deep analysis of Islam and bioscience
التعزيرات البدنية في التشريع الإسلامي: دراسة مقارنة : Corporal Punishments in Islamic Legislation: A Comparative Study
Full text linkAbstract.
It is a clear fact that Islam is a complete religion that outlines specific punishments (Hudood) for certain crimes, but it leaves some offenses without specifying the punishment to judges.It is known that we live in the present era in a humane society threatened by the European trend, so that young people lose morals and modesty and fall into various obscene crimes. So, this research aims to explain Islam's broad perspective on the consequences of crimes where punishments are left to judges. The goal is to draw attention to these punishments, discourage immoral behaviour, and highlight the importance of studying discretionary punishments (Fiqhuth Ta'zirath). I've conducted research on "Physical Punishment" using descriptive and analytical methods to gather information, the inductive method to extract evidence and scholars' opinions, and the comparative method to compare views on physical Ta'zir. Key findings include that Ta'zir is a punishment not specified by Sharia for certain crimes, and it can vary, involving measures like execution or death penalty, flogging, imprisonment, or banishment, depending on what the judge deems appropriate.For instance, a perpetrator is executed if the crime becomes severe and repeated; flogging serves as reprimand and deterrence, with no set limits. Imprisonment, not bound by a specific duration, aligns with Sharia's general goals. Banishment, understood as deportation or alienation, applies to both imprisonment and exile. Notably, women are not exiled in our time due to increased temptations; instead, they must be imprisoned within their country.Islam is widely recognized as a comprehensive religion with specific punishments (Hudood) outlined for certain crimes, while other offences are left to the discretion of judges regarding their penalties. In contemporary society, influenced by European trends, there is concern about the erosion of morals and increasing engagement in immoral behaviours among youth. This research aims to elucidate Islam’s broad perspective on discretionary punishments (Fiqh al-Ta'zir), which are not specified by Sharia but are determined by judicial discretion. The objective is to highlight these discretionary measures, emphasize their role in deterring immoral behaviour, and underscore the importance of studying them. This study employs descriptive and analytical methods to gather information, the inductive method to extract evidence and scholarly opinions, and the comparative method to examine varying views on physical Ta'zir. Key findings reveal that Ta'zir encompasses a range of punishments, including execution, flogging, imprisonment, or banishment, depending on the judge’s assessment of the crime’s severity. For example, severe and repeated crimes may warrant execution, while flogging serves as a deterrent without a fixed limit. Imprisonment, whose duration is not predefined, aligns with Sharia’s broader objectives. Banishment, encompassing both deportation and alienation, applies to imprisonment and exile. In modern contexts, women are not subjected to exile due to increased temptations; instead, imprisonment within their country is preferred.
Matn Criticism in Indonesia: Reanalyzing Ali Mustafa Yaqub's Contributions to Ḥadith Studies
Full text linkThis article aims to discuss the role and contribution of Ali Mustafa Yaqub's ḥadīth criticism in Indonesia as an effort to maintain the Islamic literary tradition (turāth). In response to the contemporary trend of ignoring or even avoiding ḥadīth criticism, Yaqub, as an Indonesian ḥadīth expert, paid great attention to this issue to ensure that hadīth is used as proof (ḥujjah) of Islamic teachings. By employing a descriptive method to analyze Yaqub's works on matn criticism, this article concludes that Yaqub has provided significant theoretical foundations and practical insights into understanding ḥadīth. His notable contributions to advancing ḥadīth studies while upholding classical turāth as a cornerstone in Islamic scholarship amidst the challenges of globalisation, establish him as a distinguished and influential figure in the field of ḥadīth studies in Indonesia. His work not only enriches the academic discourse but also ensures the continued relevance of traditional ḥadīth scholarship in contemporary contexts

This research delves into a pivotal issue relevant to the contemporary world we inhabit today – the humanity of man in dealing with individuals of diverse faiths. Numerous scholars and academics have addressed this matter, yet lingering challenges and inquiries persist, awaiting resolution and elucidation. The aim of this study is to spotlight the Prophet's (peace be upon him) interaction with non-Muslims, viewing them as fellow human beings within the framework of humane relations that denounce violence, extremism, and selfishness. The objective is to comprehend and apply the prophetic approach, crushing human oppression of one's fellow human within a context devoid of noble values that manifest aspects of goodness in the bewildered and lost realm of humanity. The research concludes that Islam is a religion of justice and generosity, transcending religions, sects, societies, and cultures
