The Political Thought of the Late H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Founder of the United Arab Emirates (1966 - 2004)
Full text linkThis thesis highlights the political thought of H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, a man who made decisive contributions to the history of the twentieth century, and the various reflections of this political thought on the UAE, its people and the international community at large. In this regard, it explores and analyzes a multifaceted political thought that took its form in political practice in the establishment of the Federation, the management of crises and in the building of a prosperous enduring nation. Evaluating the factors that influenced the formation of the doctrinal matrix of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, this thesis traces the background from within which Sheikh Zayed’s leadership skills evolved and developed. From his early years onwards, Sheikh Zayed made a firm commitment to undertake the considerable task of building a fully fledged state out of a divided tribal background, improve the lives of citizens, and carve a place for the UAE in the international arena.
This research project illustrates the implications and dimensions of Sheikh Zayed's political thinking process exemplified in his discursive statements and actions. It documents and analyzes the career achievements of Sheikh Zayed, a statesman acknowledged by contemporary and future generations to have had significant impact on the political direction and overall development of the UAE. This impact also demonstrates the potential of his contribution to the field of political thought.
One of this study’s primary conclusions is that the accomplishments of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al-Nahyan during his rule have resulted primarily from his development of an integrated doctrine of governance that reflected his humanistic outlook. In this regard, at both the domestic and international levels, Sheikh Zayed’s political decisions and acts were undertaken with reference to this outlook
Introducing Iqbal the Economist
Full text linkThe Iqbal Memorial Lecture was instituted in 1994 when the Pakistan Society of Development Economists (PSDE) celebrated the completion of a decade of steady progress. A brief announcement stated: “The Iqbal Memorial Lecture attributed to the national poet [Emphasis added], Allama Muhammad Iqbal has been included in the programme for the first time. Professor Ian M. D. Little is delivering that lecture” [Secretary’s Report (1994), p. 1472]. Iqbal, the poet and philosopher par excellence, has made incisive remarks or comments on economic and social issues in his poetry, philosophical writings, and in the course of his discourses as well as some famous letters, particularly those written to the Quaid-i-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. But these do not make Iqbal an economist. The Secretary of the PSDE was, therefore, careful in observing that the lecture commemorates our “national poet”. However, it will be of great interest to this largest national congregation of economists and other scholars concerned with development to know that the very first published book of Iqbal related neither to poetry nor philosophy, but economics. It was written in Urdu. He also taught the subject at undergraduate and Master’s level, even though he had not studied it as a student. At the Government College, Lahore, Iqbal studied English, Philosophy and Arabic for his B.A. and then completed the M.A. in Philosophy.
Renewal of Islamic Education in Traditionalist Works in Minangkabau: Sheikh Khatib Muhammad Ali and the Traditionalist Intellectualism People
No full textFew studies on the intellectual contribution of old people have been conducted, resulting in a research gap. The majority of studies tended to investigate younger people as the driver of renewal, while educational ideas from the old people are used to be neglected. This study aims to explore the educational thought of Sheikh Khatib Muhammad Ali as one of the old intellectuals, through his traditionalist book entitled “Syair Irsyadiyah”. This study employs a hermeneutic approach to literature analysis to get more insights into the meaning of written texts precisely, so that there is no gap in the reader's understanding of the author of the original text. Primarily, data were collected from the book “Syair Irsyadiyah”, supported with other related literature, such as books, articles, and previous research findings. The findings demonstrated that Sheikh Khatib Muhammad Ali is a traditionalist and a pioneer who balances the views of modernists and traditionalists in Minangkabau Islamic education This is demonstrated by his ideas about education, as follows: 1) Sheikh Khatib Muhammad Ali created and implemented a new curriculum that includes structured subjects, standardized science, systematic teaching methods, and learning evaluation. 2) Sheikh Khatib Muhammad Ali also made up his own books to be taught in his school while the religious schools preferred to maintain teaching classical books originating from Middle Eastern scholars from the middle ages. 3) Santri needs to be of high moral character since learning is a necessity. His concepts indicate the effort to renew Islamic studies by making religious knowledge and general knowledge balanced, using systematic and measurable teaching materials, and developing students’ good character

Desiring the east: a comparative study of Middle English romance and modern popular sheikh romance
Full text linkThis thesis comparatively examines a selection of twenty-first century sheikh romances and Middle English romances from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries that imagine an erotic relationship occurring between east and west. They do so against a background of conflict, articulated in military confrontation and binary religious and ethnic division. The thesis explores the strategies used to facilitate the cross-cultural relationship across such a gulf of difference and considers what a comparison of medieval and modern romance can reveal about attitudes towards otherness in popular romance.
In Chapter 1, I analyse the construction of the east in each genre, investigating how the homogenisation of the romance east in sheikh romance distances it from the geopolitical reality of those parts of the Middle East seen, by the west, to be "other". Chapter 2 examines the articulation of gender identity and the ways in which these romances subvert and reassert binary gender difference to uphold normative heterosexual relations. Chapter 3 considers how ethnic and religious difference is nuanced, in particular through the use of fabric, breaking down the disjunction between east and west. Chapter 4 investigates the way ethnicity, religion and gender affect hierarchies of power in the abduction motif, enabling undesirable aspects of the east to be recast.
The key finding of this thesis is that both romance genres facilitate the cross-cultural erotic relationship by rewriting apparently binary differences of religion and ethnicity to create sameness. While the east is figured differently in Middle English and modern sheikh romance, the strategies they use to facilitate the cross-cultural erotic relationship are similar. The thesis concludes that the constancy of certain attitudes towards the east in both medieval and modern romance reveals a persistence of conservative values in representations of the east in romance

The application of Shari’ah and international human rights law in Saudi Arabia
Full text linkThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel UniversityThe present dissertation provides an analytical and comparative study of the application of Islamic law (Shari’ah) and international human rights law in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It provides an analysis of the sources of Islamic law as well as the sources of international law to set the background for analysis and defines the nature of both laws. It also tackles the subject of the domestic application of international human treaties in Saudi Arabia.
In addition, it examines some reservations Saudi Arabia has entered to some of the international human rights treaties it has ratified, specifically the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). It also sheds some light on the political, cultural and religious obstacles to the realisation of norms protected by international human rights treaties in the country, and in other countries for that matter, clearly stating the impossibility of implementing the provisions of the international human rights treaties in their entirety. This is due to the various political and legal developments towards the internationalization of the concept of human rights. It observes that despite the existence of the international human rights treaties, which aim at reinforcing a universal realisation of international human rights, these rights cannot be possibly realised by all countries.
To stress the importance Saudi Arabia attaches to the issue of human rights, the dissertation discusses some rights of women before Saudi courts in family matters, an issue which has been criticised by some international human rights treaties, and examines to what extent the country has managed to tackle the issue of domestic violence, particularly violence against women. It provides an overview of the major causes of domestic violence against women in Saudi Arabia, presents some cases of domestic violence before Saudi courts and sheds some light on the measures taken by the Saudi government to combat domestic violence against women. It also tackles this issue both in the international and domestic legal frameworks, clearly stating the Islamic standpoint on the issue, namely that Islamic law, and Saudi Arabia for that matter, whose laws are essentially derived from the two main sources of Shari’ah. It also discusses the common forms of violence against women in Saudi Arabia and suggests a number of recommendations towards more effective protection of women against violence in the country.
The dissertation concludes by presenting a number of obstacles in the way of executing judicial decisions in the Kingdom as well as the obstacles which negatively affect the performance of the new code of law practice. It also presents some recommendations concerning personal status law obstacles and hindrances to progress and attempts to answer the research questions it has posed
PEMBAHARUAN USHUL FIQH ALI JUM’AH MUHAMMAD
Full text linkThe reform of ushul fiqh is perhaps the most significant achievement in the rebirth of Islamic philosophy. Only when people realize the phenomenon of stagnation of traditional fiqh can ushul fiqh be renewed. This awareness can only be built if people realize the need for reform of religious thought and practice it on a large scale. Many scholars propose a reconstruction of ushul fiqh, intending to show that religion can be used to solve everyday problems. Sheikh Ali Jum'ah, Izzudin Ibn Abdus Salam, and Ibn Ashur were prominent figures. Brilliant ideas and practical solutions seem to have entered the paradigm of Indonesian Islamic thought, especially the paradigm of ushul fiqh reform, which is still stagnant. Another weakness of fiqh and ushul fiqh is that there is no dynamic relationship between them and the social sciences, thus losing their relevance to the needs of the people. The mufti of Egypt, Sheikh Ali Jum'ah, also had the same view regarding the reformulation of Usul fiqh produced by previous scholars. So that Usul fiqh can be more developed and adaptive to new problems. Sheikh Ali Jum'ah's tajdid offer, namely: Restoring the old study form of ushul fiqh with an updated structure; Returning several views on several issues and using new opinions on existing problems, as well as reusing aqli in discussing these problems; Returning some views on the application of the rules to this science and in this application sticking to other views; Restoring this scientific structure by the novelty of the illat, and make this renewal according to the character of ushul fiqh according to their respective streams

Married 'Urfi in the View of Contemporary Scholars Sheikh Muhammad Ali Jum'ah
No full textWhile marriage is an Islamic law and essentially a necessity, there are contradictions between the term and the application of marriage in society. One of them is nikah 'urfi, which is seen as invalid based on the rules of a country but is valid in the view of sharia. This article aims to reveal Muhammad 'Ali Jum'ah's thoughts on nikah 'urfi, furthermore the relevance of nikah 'urfi in the modern era. This article uses a descriptive qualitative approach and literature type by examining writings to solve a problem in a critical and in-depth manner. The approach in this article is to examine the thoughts of Muhammad 'Ali Jum'ah. The results of writing the article found that nikah'urfi is a marriage that fulfills all the pillars and conditions, but is not recorded at the marriage registration institution. Nikah 'urfi is a marriage with complete terms and conditions, this marriage is valid and has been legalized by the Fatwa Institute of Dār al-Ifta' Egypt, through the Fatwa of Mufti Diyar of the Arab Republic of Egypt Muhammad 'Ali Jum'ah. This fatwa was issued due to the prevalence of 'urfi marriage and the high cost of marriage. Contemporary scholars differ in opinion, with some legalizing and others forbidding it in light of current conditions. Keyword: 'Urfi Marriage, The Thought of Muhammad 'Ali Jum'a
