    Conflict of law and the methodology of Tarjīẖ : a study in Islamic legal theory

    No full text
    Islamic law never achieved unity but expressed itself in, at least, four surviving schools. More interestingly, contemporary Muslim communities are still divided among themselves on a number of issues related to their laws. This work describes how problem of legal conflicts have been tackled by Muslim jurists. It is an attempt to examine closely the phenomenon of conflict in Islamic law from the standpoint of usūl-al-fiqh or Islamic legal theory. In fact, much is heard nowadays of the contradiction in the body of Islamic law. Whilst in contrast, little is presented in terms of the methodology of removing this conflict. The present work therefore, attempts to redress this balance. The emphasis of the work will be concerned primarily with tarjīh methodology ; how to give preference to one piece of evidence or argument over the other when they conflict. Nevertheless, considerable concern is given to investigating the background to the conflict of law in the Shari'ah. This study of a neglected area in Islamic legal scholarship will be an important source of reference to students, both practising and theoretical jurists or to anyone who merely wishes to increase his knowledge of legal themes, particularly legal conflict. The very aim of the work is to argue that conflict is a natural and unavoidable consequence of legal study because legal conflict is only conflicting principles and arguments adduced by both the classical and modern jurists to reach what is actually intended by God in the target case. Therefore, conflicts are inevitable in most of the cases in fiqh owing to the variety of principles set out to deal with one piece of legal evidence, let alone with all the pieces of legal evidence in question. Tarjīh is therefore, an important and workable instrument in the re-examination of these conflicts and in arriving at the most accurate principle for establishing the law for as long as this is possible. It is hoped that the discovery of new facts and the increase of knowledge which results from the broadening and deepening of the research will positively contribute to the process of unification of Islamic law

    Hybrid Fingerprint Recognition Using Minutiae and Shape

    This chapter presents a novel minutiae matching method that uses a thin-plate spline model to describe elastic distortions in fingerprints. The thin-plate spline model is estimated using a local and a global matching stage. After registration of the fingerprints according to the estimated model, the number of matching minutiae can be counted using very tight tolerance boxes. For deformed fingerprints, the algorithm gives considerably higher matching scores compared to rigid matching algorithms, while only taking 100 ms on a 1GHz P-III machine. The additional step of shape matching after elimination of the elastic deformations helps to reduce the error rates further. Furthermore, it is shown that the observed deformations are different from those described by theoretical models proposed in the literature. This chapter is an extension of earlier work that is reported in [1].</p

    جہیز کی اہمیت قرآن و سنت کی روشنی میں: The importance of dowry in the light of Qur\u27an and Sunnah

    In the era of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w) and His Companions, the problems of marriage were very simple.  At the time of marriage, the groom would go to the bride\u27s house with a few people and perform the marriage ceremony and bring her home.There was no custom of dowry nor of any other at that time. These were the divine teachings and requirements of the Prophet Muhammad (sa.w.w).  But today it is quite the opposite.  As the scope of Islam spread beyond Arabia and many non-Muslims became Muslims, the new Muslims brought with them all the rituals of ignorance, one of which is dowry. Due to which marriages of many girls have stoppe

    Democracy Connect: Revolutionizing International Student Union Elections through Cutting-Edge Online Platforms for Candidacy Registration & Voter Engagement

    No full text
    Democracy Connect, an online voting platform designed to modernize the election process for the International Student Union at the University of Debrecen. Recognizing the limitations of traditional paper-based voting, this thesis aims to provide a secure, accessible, and user-friendly digital platform. It explores key aspects of the platform's design, including an intuitive user interface, data security through encryption methods, and enhanced visibility through search engine optimization. Research findings demonstrate a strong student preference for an online voting system due to its convenience, accessibility, and potential to increase voter turnout.BSc/BAGazdaságinformatiku
