We first show that greater long-term exposure to Arab-Muslims: i) decreases both explicit and implicit prejudice against Arab-Muslims, ii) reduces support for policies and political candidates hostile toward Arab-Muslims, iii) increases charitable donations to Arab countries, iv) leads to more personal contact with Arab-Muslim individuals, and v) increases knowledge of Arab-Muslims and Islam in general.

There are various provisions for achieving the wealth. In human life earning plays an important role in making life meaningful. The aim of this paper is to discuss on how Islam encourages and prescribe Muslim legal earning and forbid Muslim illegal earning. Based on the literature findings this paper intends to see the Islamic rulings pertaining legal and illegal income earning. It is very common now to see a Muslim who are able to differentiate between legal and illegal earning. However, it is a shocking phenomenon and a sad fact that a large number of Muslims now do not differentiate between the legal and illegal earnings. Some people are involved in earning money and seeking employments in undesirable occupations (Khan & Halal, 2010).This paper used a basic qualitative research design. All data are analyzed by using secondary data especially from the Qur`an as well as Hadith and related literature. The findings of this paper show that there is a prohibition of illegal earning in Islam as well as the encouragement of Islam to legal earning and a punishment for a person who engage himself on illegal earning.","PeriodicalId":269513,"journal":{"name":"Islamic Law & Law of the Muslim World eJournal","volume":"357 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133069396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These laws demonstrate the ongoing management of colonial bodies and communities which speaks over time from historical colonization to present, and future, neocolonial narratives. This article moves beyond the dominant logics of security and gender oppression in the Islamic dress debate which, it is argued, are invoked in a strategic manner to obfuscate the colonial condition and engender a normative, institutional Islamophobia in the public‐political imaginary. It critiques the instrumental use of law in creating political space for such agendas and analyses the whiteness of public space and institutions. The article insists that it is necessary to acknowledge the epistemic lens of the colonial condition in the Islamic dress debate and critically reflects on the alienation and reduced capacity for action of bodies wearing Islamic dress.","PeriodicalId":269513,"journal":{"name":"Islamic Law & Law of the Muslim World eJournal","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125913699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This emphasis on financial and extra-financial considerations has led to suggestions that there are innate similarities between responsible finance and Islamic finance, as financial activity guided by religious principles. It has not been until recently, however, that the sukuk market has sought to establish its place within the wider responsible finance market. This has led to debut issuances of green, social and sustainability sukuk, and the piecemeal development of precedents for future issuances. This article explores legal aspects of the nascent responsible finance sukuk market. In doing so, it provides an in-depth discussion of the legal structure of responsible finance sukuk issuances and reflects on claims that Islamic finance and responsible finance are naturally compatible.","PeriodicalId":269513,"journal":{"name":"Islamic Law & Law of the Muslim World eJournal","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129739154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both obligatory (zak?h) and voluntary (?adaq?t) mechanisms are used to motivate the rich to spend generously on poverty reduction programs. It is an obligation on the rich to pay the compulsory (zak?h) on their wealth but they are also encouraged to spend more above the obligatory sum by way of charity (?adaqah). In return, they are promised eternal bliss and everlasting happiness in the life to come. On the other hand, zak?h evasion is considered a punishable crime (in this life and the hereafter) and denying the zak?h altogether is equivalent to rejecting Islam. This belief in reward and punishment plays as a strong incentive and motivation for charitable behavior. Hence, effective collection and utilization of the proceeds from zak?h and ?adaq?t are the mechanisms advocated by Islam to redistribute wealth and reduce income inequalities. المقاربة الإسلامية للحد من أوجه عدم المساواة (الدخل) وتخفيف وطأة الفقر يركز على الآليات الناجحة المستخدمة تاريخيا في ذلك. ولتحفيز الأغنياء على إنفاقهم بسخاء على برامج الحد من الفقر تستخدم آلتي الزكاة الواجبة والصدقات المستحبة. يجب على الأغنياء أن يدفعوا الزكاة على ثرواتهم ولكن الإسلام يشجعهم أيضا على إنفاق أكثر فوق مبلغ الزكاة عن طريق الصدقة. وفي المقابل، فإنهم وعدوا بالنعيم الأبدي والسعادة الأبدية في الحياة الأخروية. ومن ناحية أخرى، يعتبر التهرب من الزكاة جريمة يعاقب عليها في هذه الحياة وفي الآخرة وإن إنكار الزكاة يعتبر رفضا للإسلام وخروجا منه. هذا الاعتقاد في الجزاء والعقاب هو حافز ودافع قوي للسلوك الخيري. ومن ثم فإن الجمع والصرف الفعالين للزكاة والصدقات هي الآليات التي دعا إليها الإسلام لإعادة توزيع الثروة والحد من أوجه التفاوت في الدخل.","PeriodicalId":269513,"journal":{"name":"Islamic Law & Law of the Muslim World eJournal","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128077420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
