Among his significant intellectual and academic contributions is his consistent emphasis on the Islamization of knowledge and result-oriented inter-faith dialogues. The present book, Toward Islamic English, extends the same discourse on the Islamization of knowledge. However, the paradigm in which the book’s theme is described is more academic and relates to the methodological dimensions of studying Islamic Studies as an academic discipline.","PeriodicalId":38540,"journal":{"name":"Hamdard Islamicus","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135031743","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}

One of the basic advantages of family life is that it makes every individual aware of his/her responsibilities in this life. The responsibility of every individual, whether Muslim or Non-Muslim, is to take necessary steps for the betterment of society. He/she is supposed to ensure peace, security, goodness, human dignity, equality and tolerance. Another responsibility is to contribute to society positively, by implementing good human values which are common to all religions of the present world. Today’s world needs these good moral values more than ever to make it a place suitable for living of all humans and that is why this article focuses on these values in an explorative way. The family life in Islam is a beauty and purity at the same time, emphasizing upon the believers and others to adopt it for the success of here and hereafter.","PeriodicalId":38540,"journal":{"name":"Hamdard Islamicus","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135032712","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}

The research explains the natural sympathy people feel towards these people and the empathy that is felt towards the families of children with disabilities, as Muslim jurists have addressed these issues. A deductive approach is used based on the foundations of Quranic education and the educational theories of the Sunnah of the Prophet (Hazrat Muhammad Rasulullah Khatam un Nabiyyin Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa ‘alelihi wa Ashabihi wa sallam); moreover, the study relies on an analysis that establishes how people can deliver effective care for people with disabilities. The findings reveal that both The Holy Qur’Én and the Sunnah succinctly articulate the rights of those with special needs. These texts also preach the need to integrate people with disabilities into society and create a friendly environment for them to live in; they also teach and educate people about how they should interact with people with disabilities within their families.","PeriodicalId":38540,"journal":{"name":"Hamdard Islamicus","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135032528","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 study aims to fill this gap and attract the attention of all stakeholders to augment the Islamic Social finance theory and provide grounds for practitioners and academicians to implement technological tools to enhance its social impact. This study uses a qualitative library research approach to develop the spectrum of Islamic social finance and identify the issues faced by the key players within the spectrum. Likewise, technological advancement in the form of crowdfunding is exclusively proposed for the Islamic social finance spectrum in order to overcome all related issues and meet the objectives of SharÊ‘ah i.e., MaqÉÎid al SharÊ‘ah which are embedded in its CSR values. This study is envisioned to open the doors of debate for academicians to further enhance the general theory of Islamic Social finance.

Later, the same thinking affected the people of the West and India. So, they also provided hateful material against Muslims through books, articles, and Cinematic Films. In Berlin, 1895 Skladanowsky brothers made their first debut film, and in 1905 Lumiere brothers did not get a good response; they started the parables of prophets and got salutations from the audience. Occasionally, Western and Indian filmmakers moved on to offensive pictorial scenarios of God and anti-Muslims. In this regard, they are producing God in the form of Male/Female in the different aspects of the cinema. Moreover, later Hollywood introduced the Anthropomorphic of Ancient Greek gods, Like Zeus, Thor, and Loki in Cinema. In the era of 1917, Dada sahib Phalke through the Lanka Dahan portrayal, and in the 80s, Ramanand Saghar provided the pictorial series Ramayana and later B.R Chopra Mahabharata. Those who watch these theological movies as entertainment are prohibited (×arÉm) in Islam, while these films violate beliefs. These Cinematic Portraits are shown in every Muslim State on Ram, Hanuman, anti-Muslimism data, etc. This stereotypical behaviour is the major cause of the Muslims as terrorist in the West and being patronizing in Indian society. This research aims to identify the theological effects of religious films on Muslim society. Furthermore, the negative myths created by these films are to be revealed to Muslim civilization. This Research will set out both film industries with the methodology of descriptive cum-critical and analysis of Christian Hindu Thinking and particularly figures out its Prohibitions and suspensions through the Islamic Sharī‘ah.","PeriodicalId":38540,"journal":{"name":"Hamdard Islamicus","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135032103","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}

The data utilised within the study were obtained from the financial statements annually of 32 family takaful businesses and the World Bank Database, spanning 2017 to 2021. The solvency of an entity is assessed by utilising net assets divided by net contributions, which serve as the dependent variable in this context. According to the findings, a positive relationship exists between solvency and the following variables: profitability, investment ratio, liquidity, and firm size. The impact of wakalah fees on solvency is significantly related negatively. Nevertheless, it is essential to note that there is no inherent connection between GDP and inflation concerning solvency. The family takaful company in ASEAN has a relatively high solvency level. Thus, it can fulfil its obligation in the long run to meet the policyholder’s claim.","PeriodicalId":38540,"journal":{"name":"Hamdard Islamicus","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135031744","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}

Classical fiqh used to be a trust sale in which known profit was charged above the cost price. Islamic banks use Commodity Murābahah as a tool for managing interbank liquidity between the banks. There are mainly two methods to conclude it, i.e., finance giving and finance taking. For the sake of concluding this financing, metals are used as underlying commodities. It is reported that these metals never change hands or possessions. The same metals are sold as underlying commodities numerous times. The deposit based on these metals gives fixed returns to the Financial Institutions. Islamic Banks conclude these transactions with Conventional Banks most of the time. In 2020, the Islamic Development Bank and Dubai Islamic Bank decided to invest USD 500 million each in commodity Murābahah financing. The volume of such contracts has increased by more than USD 70 billion; till 2019, the total volume reached up to USD 2.88 trillion. There are reports of its increase of 12 % per annum. Commodity Murābahah, a last variant of Murābahah to the Purchase Orderer, is doubted by many and needs thorough analysis from the perspective of Shari'ah rulings. This research aims to analyze in detail the questions on the validity of Commodity Murābahah . It employs a qualitative research method and analyses the commodity Murābahah from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence principles. The findings of the article show some serious issues with this product.","PeriodicalId":38540,"journal":{"name":"Hamdard Islamicus","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78633872","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}

Considerable criticism is directed towards traditional Islamic educational institutions for not exhibiting contemporary and contextually designed features regarding regional aspects such as the local social-cultural context. Thus, the paper attempts to elaborate on the role of NIIS in empowering Sri Lankan Muslim religious leadership by adopting proper educational philosophy and objectives. It explores its emerging context, development of its curriculum-making process, academic strategy, and recent trajectories and discourses to realise the objectives. The qualitative methodology uses descriptive and analytical types. The paper’s finding offers that contrary to the prevailing meta-narrative that Islamic religious institutions often resist changes, reform themselves, and evolve, the Institute’s case has proven otherwise. However, it is suggested that the changing contexts and their challenges are an opportunity to broaden the institution's societal role, intellectual commitment, and religious leadership.","PeriodicalId":38540,"journal":{"name":"Hamdard Islamicus","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87014936","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}

Stakeholders consider Shari‘ah compliance as a crucial factor when investing in these banks, which is why annual reports are produced to communicate the level of compliance. However, these reports often lack complete and readable information about the banks’ level of Shari‘ah compliance. This study analysed the extent of Shari‘ah governance disclosure and readability in annual reports of 19 Pakistani banks, including full-fledged and window Islamic banks. Using the Shari‘ah disclosure index and content analysis, the study identified the disclosure level and explored the disclosures’ readability using Bog Index in the Shari‘ah reports. Results showed that full-fledged banks had a higher level of disclosure than window banks. Meanwhile, Shari‘ah reports were generally difficult to read. Improving the level of disclosure and readability in Shari‘ah reports can have a positive impact on all stakeholders. The study provides implications for management to enhance the level of SharÊ‘ah compliance and readability, which will lead to a better understanding of the banks’ operations, increased trust in these institutions, and ultimately, contribute to the growth and development of Islamic finance in Pakistan. Stakeholders such as investors, customers, and policymakers will be able to make more informed decisions with a clearer understanding of the banks’ operations. A better reputation for Islamic banking will help attract more customers and investors, further boosting the country’s growth and development of Islamic finance.","PeriodicalId":38540,"journal":{"name":"Hamdard Islamicus","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91034087","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}
