Intellectual property laws and Islam in Malaysia.
No full textPhDThis study is undertaken on the premise that Islam and Islamic law is to be taken into
serious consideration in any future legislative reform of laws in Malaysia. Islam being
the religion of the country and the strong religious sentiment of the Muslims (who
form the majority in Malaysia) cannot be overlooked or dismissed lightly by the
legislators in Malaysia. Reformation of intellectual property laws is timely, as we are
now approaching to the dateline set by GATF-Trips agreement which aim is to
improve our standard of intellectual property protection. This study seeks to analyze
and evaluate the current legislation pertaining to intellectual property in Malaysia in
terms of the philosophy and rules governing the existence, ownership and exercise of
these rights and their consistency and inconsistency with Islam and Islamic law. The
main objective of this study is to prove that a coherent and logical conceptual
framework of ownership of intellectual property can be derived from an Islamic
perspective which not only offers the basis of rights but also defines the scope of
these rights. From the point of ownership of rights, support can be obtained from the
normative framework of property rights within the traditional classification of 'mal'
(property) and 'haqq al-milkiyyah' (ownership rights) under Islamic law. From the
point of exercise of rights, the exact scope can be defined from the analysis of
fundamental concepts which have been developed by Muslim jurists. It has been
established that Islam and Islamic law offers a sound and systematic paradigm, which
in deeper analysis, can satisfy both our current obligations under international
treatises, as well as our responsibility to practise our religion to the fullest

Authentic interpretation of classical Islamic texts: An analysis of the introduction of Ibn Kathir's "Tafsir al-Qur'an al-Azim".
No full textThis study examines Ismail ibn Umar ibn Kathir's (ca. 1300-1374) introduction to his exegesis of the Qur'an, Tafsir al-Qur'an al-Azim. The analysis is predicated upon the importance of underst and ing a foreign, classical and culturally distant text approximate to the underst and ing of the original audience; they were insiders. To authentically interpret a text as they did, the researcher must be apprised of the knowledge that the author assumed of his audience and of the historical context of the text and its author. This includes recognizing the formal and rhetorical structures of the literature and knowing the background knowledge of the audience, their linguistic approach to the language, and the intertextual references of the text. Accordingly, this study focuses on certain textual relations. Major facets were the theme structure and foreground parts of the text; words and names whose meanings may be arcane to those outside of the culture of the text; and the entities that influenced the text, its transmission, and reception. The study answers the following: what were the intellectual forces that shaped Ibn Kathir's introduction? how are they reflected therein? and what facets of the text are essential to an insider's underst and ing of it, that is, for an authentic interpretation? The discussion shows that Ibn Kathir's text reflects the influence and training of his mentors and of Ahmad ibn Adb al-Halim ibn Taymiyah (d. 728/1328) in particular; his text composes the second part of Ibn Kathir's introduction. These individuals were elite Damascene scholars and adherents of Ibn Taymiyah's religious ideology. The study demonstrates that key to underst and ing Ibn Kathir's introduction and other classical Islamic texts is familiarity with the ideology and education of the writer, for the classical author was writing for those whose education and culture were similar to his. Authentic interpretation requires the researcher to have a background in linguistics particularly in text or discourse analysis and in Arabic grammar, Islamic theology, the science of hadith, and the nascent era of Islam.PhDReligionLinguisticsMiddle Eastern literatureMiddle Eastern historyUniversity of Michiganhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/162177/1/8920521.pd

Malaysia and Investor-State Dispute Settlement: Learning From Experience
No full textAbstract
Malaysia is an important destination for foreign direct investment and has signed more than 70 investment guarantee agreements. Most allow investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) and Malaysia has been subject to three claims, including two fully argued cases: Philippe Gruslin and Malaysian Historical Salvor. Yet Malaysian companies have also utilised ISDS provisions: in MTD Equity Bhd v Chile, Telekom Malaysia v Ghana, and Ekran Berhad v China (the first-ever ISDS claim against China). These cases provide lessons for Malaysia in becoming better prepared to negotiate newer generations of investment treaties, and to defend further potential cases. Malaysia has not reacted negatively to investment treaties despite the cases filed against the country. In fact, in light of its evolving interests Malaysia has become more of a rule-maker in international investment law rather than a rule-taker. Malaysia thereby continues to liberalise its investment regime and provide better transparency – the best defence against claims.</jats:p

No full textيعتبر كتاب "الجامع الصحيح" للإمام البخاري من المصادر المهمة في المكتبة الإسلامية، وخدمه العلماء بشروح مفصلة أو تعليقات موجزة. ومن العلماء المعاصرين الذين خَدموا هذا الكتاب بالشرح والتعليق المفتي محمد تقي العثماني (مواليد ١٣٦٢ه)، الذي يعتبر من الشخصيات البارزة في الأوساط العلمية والفقهية في العالم الإسلامي، فقد أثرى المكتبة الإسلامية بكتب مفيدة في التفسير، والحديث، والفقه، والتاريخ الإسلامي. لقد صدرت للشيخ أمالٍ على "الجامع الصحيح" باسم "إنعام الباري" في ثماني مجلدات. تكمن أهمية هذه الورقة في أنها تدرس منهج المفتي العثماني في كتاب لم يُترجَم بعد إلى العربية. أمَّا الأسلوب المتبع في الورقة فهو البحث النوعي القائم على عرض ما ذكر في "إنعام الباري" وإعداد دراسة خاصة بمنهج المفتي العثماني لتساعد الباحثين وشراح الحديث في المستقبل عند خدمة كتب السنن والمسانيد. تتكون الورقة من ثلاثة مباحث. المبحث الأول: التعريف بالجامع الصحيح ومصنفه وأشهر شروحه، المبحث الثاني: التعريف بالمفتي العثماني ومؤلفاته، المبحث الثالث: منهج المفتي العثماني في النوازل الفقهية والحلول العصرية. استنتجت الورقة أن كتاب "إنعام الباري" يشكل إضافة فريدة في المكتبة الإسلامية كونه يعين طالب العلم والقارئ على ربط أحاديث "الجامع الصحيح" بمنظور عصري مع الاعتماد على التراث الفقهي المذكور في نصوص الحديث الشريف، وهناك اعتبارات عدة يأخذها المفتي العثماني في سبيل تحقيق الاجتهاد الفقهي في النوازل المالية، فمثلاً: تطبيق حكم الجواز في الحديث مع الصورة المعاصرة لتشابه الحال، وعدم سريان الحرمة لاختلاف الصورة أو الاستخدام المنشود، وتغير الأحكام بتغير الزَّمان، وعموم البلوى وفساد الذمم في هذا الزمان، وتطبيق نصِّ الحديث على النازلة، وكذلك فهم الصورة العلمية لاستنباط الحكم المذكور في الحديث الشريف.********************************
Al-Jāmiʿ al-Ṣaḥīḥ by Imām al-Bukhārī is one of the important Islamic sources which had short and detailed commentaries by many scholars. Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani (b. 1942) is among the contemporary scholars who contributed to explaining the book. Mufti Usmani has many books in Tafsīr, Ḥadith, Fiqh and Islamic history. His lessons on Bukhārī were published in (8) volume book tilted Inʿām al-Bārī. This paper gains its significance because it is a paper in Arabic to study Mufti Usmani’s methodology in a book which has not been translated to Arabic or English. It follows the qualitative research in presenting Sh. Usmani’s writings in Inʿām al-Bārī, the outcome will help the researchers and commentary-writers in the future while working on references in Ḥadīth. The paper comprises of (3) sections. Firstly, introduction to Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, its author and most famous commentary writers. Secondly: introduction to Mufti Usmani and his writings. Thirdly, the approach of Mufti Usmani in contemporary issues and their solutions. Overall the paper concluded that Inʿām al-Bārī represents a significant contribution to the Islamic library since it helps to corelate with contemporary issues based on juristic legacy given in the texts of Ḥadīth. Mufti Usmani makes several considerations while exercising juristic ijtihād on the financial unprecedented matters, for example: applying the permissibility ruling as given in Ḥadīth due to similarlity of cases, non-applicability of prohibition due to variance in the form or intended use, change of rulings based of changing times, spread of practice, degeneration of honesty in these times, applying text of the Ḥadīth on the unprecedented matter, and understanding the practical side to derive the ruling as mentioned in Ḥadīth.*************** Kitab Sahih Bukhari merupakan salah satu sumber rujukan Islam yang penting
dan sentiasa mendapat ulasan terperinci oleh para ulama. Mufti Taqi Usmani (d. 1942) merupakan seorang ulama kontemporari yang mempunyai sumbangan yang besar di dalam memberikan ulasan terhadap kitab ini. Mufti Usmani telah menerbitkan banyak kitab di dalam bidang Tafsir, Hadis, Fekah, dan Sejarah Islam. Penerangan beliau tentang Sahih Bukhari telah dinukilkan melalui kitab yang bertajuk Inʿām al-Bārī yang mempunyai lapan (8) jilid cetakan. Kertas kerja ini yang ditulis di dalam Bahasa Arab mempunyai kepentingan untuk meneliti Metodologi Mufti Usmani yang tidak pernah diterjemahkan kepada Bahasa Arab ataupun Bahasa Inggeris. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah penyelidikan kualitatif dalam membentangkan penulisan Mufti Usmani di dalam Inʿām al-Bārī, dan hasilnya akan membantu para penyelidik pada masa hadapan untuk membuat rujukan di dalam Hadis. Kertas kerja ini terbahagi kepada tiga (3) bahagian. Pertama, pengenalan kepada Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, pengarangnya dan para penulis yang berwibawa di dalam pengajian hadis. Kedua: pengenalan kepada Mufti Usmani dan penulisannya. Ketiga, pendekatan Mufti Usmani dalam isu-isu kontemporari dan kaedah penyelesaiannya. Secara keseluruhan, kertas kerja ini merumuskan bahawa Inʿām al-Bārī merupakan sumbangan yang sangat berharga kepada tamadun Islam kerana ia membantu untuk menghubungkan isu-isu kontemporari bersandarkan kepada hukum yang digariskan di dalam Hadis. Mufti Usmani telah membuat beberapa pertimbangan ketika menjalankan ijtihad-ijtihad hukum di dalam kewangan yang belum pernah terjadi, sebagai contoh: meletakkan hukum Harus ke atas kes-kes yang mempunyai persamaan seperti yang dijelaskan di dalam Hadis, tiada larangan khusus untuk situasi dan keperluan yang berbeza, perubahan hukum dan ijtihad selaras dengan peredaran masa, mengakui amalan dan
praktikal semasa, kurangnya nilai kejujuran pada masa kini, mengaplikasikan maksud hadis terhadap kes-kes baru, dan memahami urusan praktikal sebelum memuktamadkan satu hukum sepertimana yang ditekankan di dalam Hadis
De-mystifying the Muslimah: Exploring Different Perceptions of Selected Young Muslim Women in Britain
No full textIn this research I argue that although Islam as a faith is inherently emancipatory, Muslim
women are doubly marginalised: by patriarchal interpretations of their faith within Muslim
communities and by pluralist society that often does not understand the faith-based values
and practices of Muslim women. The empowerment of Muslim women is crucial not just for
the women themselves but also for socio-political dynamics within the Muslim community
and its relationships in pluralist society. It is from this context, and acknowledging the paucity
of academic literature written by Muslim women, that I set out to give voice to them, so that
their opinions may be heard in discourses that they think are relevant to their lives. By
encouraging Muslim women to take voice and by facilitating mechanisms for these voices to
be heard, this research presents alternate narratives of Muslim women that challenge
dominant media imagery of the oppressed and subjugated Muslim woman. These narratives,
which are by and for Muslim women, portray instead the inherent diversity in the category
'Muslim woman' and thus add more facets to the category 'woman'.
I used an ethnographic methodology that involved participants as contributors in the creation
of new knowledge. Semi-structured interviews with 45 young university-educated Muslim
women and 7 group discussions were used as initial data-gathering tools. The penultimate
ethnographic stage involved Muslim women creating 3-minute long self-representational
digital stories (DSTs), which consist of an autobiographical narrative accompanied by still
pictures. This was a process of self-reflection for the women and an opportunity to take voice
and to be heard. The subsequent screening of these DSTs to audiences who were not
Muslim resulted in discussion and active debate about the reasons for prevalent
(mis)understandings of Muslim women and stereotypes were challenged. In its initiation of
more balanced representations of Muslim women this research empowers Muslim women,
and by contributing to dialogue and cohesion it also empowers pluralist society as a whole.
This research clarifies the overlapping priorities and identities of young British Muslim
women and initiates new discourses, as narrated by the women, on subjects including
religious interpretation and practice, feminism, media representation and social cohesion. In
the research findings I propose an evolving British-Muslim identity among Muslim youth (in
this case young women) which is distinct from that of their parents; a theological articulation
of a 'feminist' struggle for women's rights; and the need to engage with the media and others
to create positive representations of Muslim women. Experiences with DSTs indicate the
potential of personal narratives and interaction for the purposes of inter-community dialogue
