The Loss in Meaning: Influence of Strategy Language’s and Modern Financial Discourse on the Working Concepts in Islamic Banking and Finance
No full textThis paper employs Wittgenstein language-games to analyze strategy language used by leaders of Islamic finance industry to envision its future. The analysis infers that the explicit market orientation of strategy language and modern knowledge of finance has redefined various concepts related of Islamic finance at the cost of its original spirit. This may also have adverse effects on developing ethical and spiritual orientation of Islamic banks. The concerned academia and scholarship therefore need to review such trends and work to prevent the subsequent degradation in the public image of IFIs to avoid disappointments of religiously inspired customers.

Endowment of the Faithful with the Sciences of the Prophet’s Hadith
No full textمختصر مبسَّط في علوم الحديث، موجَّهٌ إلى طلاب جامعة عمر المختار، توخَّى فيه مؤلِّفه بساطة الأسلوب، وسهولة العبارة، ممهِّدًا لكتابه بفضل تعلُّم الحديث، وفضل أهله، ثم تناول نشأة مصطلح علم الحديث، والأطوار التي مرَّ بها، وأهم المصنَّفات التي أُلِّفت فيه، مفصِّلًا في أنواع الخبر باعتبار طرقه، وباعتبار وصوله متواترًا وآحادًا، وأنواعه من حيث القبول والرَّد والمشترك بينهما، معرِّجًا على صفة الراوي وشروط قبوله، وفكرة عامة عن كتب الجرح والتعديل ومراتبه، لينتقل بعدها إلى آداب الرواية بين المحدِّث وطالب الحديث، وكيفية ضبطها وطرق تحمُّلها، ثم الإسناد ولطائفه وأنواعه التي تتوزَّع بين العالي والنازل والمسلسل، ورواية الأكابر عن الأصاغر، والآباء عن الأبناء والعكس، ورواية الأقران، والسابق واللاحق، خاتمًا مادة الكتاب بفصل تكوَّن من واحد وعشرين مبحثًا، عن أنواع المرويّ، ومعرفة الرواة ودرجاتهم، والمذكورين بأسمائهم أو صفاتهم أو ألقابهم أو كُناهم، والمنسوبين إلى غير آبائهم، وتواريخهم وطبقاتهم وأوطانهم.This book offers a simplified summary of the sciences of hadith ‘the tradition of sayings by the Prophet Mohamed, and of actions he did’, directed towards Omar al-Mukhtar University students. In it, its author sought simplicity of style and ease of expression, prefacing the book by acknowledging the virtue of learning hadith and the merit of its people. The book then goes on to cover the origins of the term ‘science of hadith’, the stages it went through, and the most important works written on it. It elaborates on the types of accounts, considering its methods, transmission classification as isolated ‘Ahad’ or consecutive ‘Mutawatir’ and its types in terms of acceptance, rejection, and the commonality between them, highlighting the narrator qualities and the conditions for their acceptance, and a general overview of the books on narrator invalidation and rectification and their levels. The book then moves on to the etiquettes of narration between the traditionist and the student of hadith, how to regulate it, and methods of bearing hadith. It then discusses the chain of narrators, its intricacies, and its types that range between the elevated, descending, and connected, and the narration of the seniors on the authority of the juniors, fathers from sons and vice versa, and the narration of peers, and precedence and succession. The book concludes with a chapter consisting of twenty-one topics covering the types of narrations, knowledge of the narrators and their ranks, those mentioned by their names, characteristics, titles, or nicknames, those attributed to other than their fathers, their history, class, and homeland
Internet_Art: From the Birth of the Web to the Rise of NFTs
Full text link‘Part memoir, part social history, this book is akin to a piece of travel writing through the internet, meeting a host of artists who challenge and make visible what the internet is, or could be. The World Wide Web is a territory we all surf, but have not experienced with the specificity or breadth of Omar Kholeif’s very personal account. There are caleidoscopic jewels all over this.’ – Khalid Abdalla, actor, activist and filmmaker,
‘More than a history of internet art, Kholeif has woven a vivid autobiographical tapestry. In the patterns and cultural shifts of the past three decades, they find the beauty and bravery that marked this era of experimentation.’ – Prof. Kate Crawford, author of Atlas of AI
‘There's no way A.I. could have written this book. It took Kholeif's genuine intelligence and their broad knowledge of recent history to make sense of something that most often feels unstructured and random.’ – Douglas Coupland, Author of Generation X, JPod, and Bit Rot
‘Omar Kholeif's innovative act of storytelling brings a subterranean history of artists' endeavors to light, revealing the basis for and pointing towards the future of the most relevant themes in contemporary culture. An absolutely essential guide.’ – Trevor Paglen, Artist, author, and MacArthur "Genius" Fello

Ƴantaru (Hausa: The Associates) is an educational organization that was founded by Nana Asma’u (1783 – 1864), the daughter of Usman dan Fodio. It was a pioneering effort for Muslim women’s education and enlightenment in West Africa. The organization was founded and led by Nana Asma’u and later by Modibbo Kilo and other Muslim female educators who served as supervisors to Jajis (Education Extension Workers). The document was authored by Professor Sa’adiya Omar, who is a member of the Ƴantaru movement, a native Hausa speaker, and a member of the royal family of the Sokoto Caliphate. She currently occupies the position and seat of the Ƴantaru movement leaders (Nana Asma’u and her successor Modibbo Kilo). They are known in Hausa as Uwar Taru (Mother of the Ƴantaru Movement). The document captures the reflects the diacritics of the Hausa Ajami orthography. With over 170 pages, it includes a table of contents and a cover page with an image of the Ƴantaru’s Jajis wearing traditional handcrafted hats. These hats are put on only by women who have been deemed well-educated, well-trained, and qualified to teach and foster moral values in their communities. The hats are similar to academic gowns and hats worn by graduates in commencement ceremonies in Western traditions.The contents of this collection were developed with support of the Title VI National Resource Center grant # P015A180164 from the U.S. Department of Education.
