THE ABSENCE OF BANKS IS RIBA: A CRITICAL STUDY OF THE THOUGHTS OF THE FORMER EGYPTIAN MUFTI ALI GOMAA
No full textThis research aimed to examine the former Egyptian mufti Ali Gomaa's argument that the absence of banks is the essence of riba. He theorized that the lack of banks was to blame for the inflation, just as riba can. In contrast, as we all know, the prohibition on riba is due to increased debt repayments. He went on to say that the mistake made by Muslim scholars in understanding bank interest as a form of riba was their dogmatic way of thinking, which equated money invested in bank financing with money owed. This study uses the arguments of former Egyptian mufti Ali Gomaa as primary and secondary sources to conduct critical research. In this case, the explanation is provided by a qualitative descriptive research design. Its purpose is to demonstrate the validity of former Egyptian mufti Ali Gomaa's argument for justifying that destroying the banks is equivalent to breeding riba. The study discovered that the statement by Egypt's Mufti Ali Gomaa was based on the bank's overall performance, specifically as an intermediary institution, where the bank's function is as a financing institution rather than a lending institution. Also, unlike debts and credits, where profit-taking is forbidden, it is perfectly legal to do so in any funding. Ali Gomaa's statement is a unilateral claim because banks channel money to customers for various reasons, including financing, investment, and debt purposes. Research-based recommendations are offered for adjustments required by stakeholders. Optimistically, the submission of this study will trigger a positive response from stakeholders

In Search of a Lost Paradigm : A Case Study Approach to Retracing Traditionalist Influence in the Fatwas of Ali Goma, Grand Mufti of Egypt
No full textThis paper is an attempt to describe how two religious edicts by the current Egyptian grand mufti relate to an ongoing theological debate in the Muslim world on the nature of miracles and the state of mankind between life and death. The study illustrates how the mufti adheres to the Sunni theological school of Ash‘ariyya and in what way said school has emerged as a theological middle ground between the literal and interpretative schools of thought. The study also reveals how the Mufti as a guardian of the faith must operate within a secularising context and what strategies are possible for him to utilise if he is to meet the demands of a modernised society whilst retaining a coherent religious explanation. In his office as grand mufti, Ali Goma may well be described as a traditionalist where theological matters are considered even if the governmental institute of Dār al- iftā has been modernised under his supervision and now uses 24 hour phone lines, e-mail, facebook and has an official webpage and translates many of its edicts into other languages than Arabic. This means that Dār al-iftā and Ali Goma are communicating an official Islam not only to the Muslims of Egypt, but has transformed from a national institute to a player in the era of globalisation.
Activity of Mufti Jakub Szynkiewicz (Yakub Shinkevich) during the Second World War (1939–1945)
No full textThe aim of the article is to analyze the activity of mufti Jakub Szynkiewicz (Yakub Shinkevich) during the Second World War. The author of the article shows that there is no evidence of the existence of military units consisting of Tatars (inhabiting the lands of modern Belarus), which were a part of the units of the German armed forces. However, we could find some data on the cooperation of individual Tatar representatives with Wermacht and SS, as well as their participation in political collaboration. Mufti Szynkiewicz turned out to be one of the collaborators. Szynkiewicz became the representative of all Muslims in the territories occupied by the Nazis to the east of the General Gouvernement and East Prussia. His activity was supported by such Tatar-Muslim leaders as Ali (Aleksander) Smajkiewicz, Bary Chalecki and Husejn Jakubowski. Muslim leaders appointed Tatar committees in order to select the Tatars showing loyalty towards the Nazi authorities and to organize activities to preserve national traditions and the Islamic religion. According to information taken from the data of the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus, at the end of February 1944 there were three committees: in Minsk, Kletsk and Lakhovichi. In addition, another goal of the muftiat was to establish the Tatar Youth Organisation. Mufti Szynkiewicz’s appeals addressed to the occupation authorities with a request for permission to form a Muslim youth association, received positive feedback. An agreement on this matter was reached in February 1944. The meeting at which establishing the Tatar Youth Organisation was officially announced took place in Alytus, Lituania on May 19, 1944, where the Mufti spoke with the welcome speech. Analyzing the source materials, the author of the article concludes that during World War II massive Tatar cooperation from the areas of contemporary Belarus with the German occupation authorities could not be observed, and the attempts of ideological mobilization of Tatars to collaborate, undertaken by some Muslim leaders with mufti Szynkiewicz, did not bring significant results.Brest State Technical University.

A Pragmatic Analysis of Pakistani Religious Podcast (Mufti Tariq Masood)
No full textPragmatics is a subfield of linguistics that deals with a speaker's meaning beyond the literal meaning. Pragmatics has a highly significant role in our lives to improve social interactions and communication skills. It also clarifies how personalities interact with their viewers and analyses what language strategies they use to be listened to and followed. Mufti Tariq Masood is a well-known Islamic scholar believed in for his wisdom by a sea of people. He distributes his understandings through videos and podcasts. For that reason, researchers have gone for a pragmatic analysis of mufti Tariq Masood to explore his persuading style. For a detailed analysis, pragmatics is divided into subgroups. The researchers have preferred speech acts to breakdown the utterances spoken by Mufti Tariq Masood. Speech acts have three types: Locutionary, Illocutionary, and Perlocutionary. To simplify, researchers have examined these categories in tabular form, which classifies the speech acts. To study the role of these speech acts, they have made a selection of some podcasts and videos created by mufti Tariq Masood on his YouTube channel. They have listened to and observed carefully all the utterances made in these videos and categorised those utterances with their time laps in the table according to their categories. Based on the data collected, researchers have discovered that directive speech acts are more common than others. Mufti Tariq Masood performs a directive speech act to educate the Pakistani youth
