The articles were published between 1909 and 1924 in Beyânulhak Magazine, Hikmet newspaper, Islam Mecmuasi Magazine, Mahfil Magazine, Sirat-i Mustakim Magazine, Sebilurresad Magazine, Teâruf-i Muslimîn Magazine, and Tarih-i Osmani Encumeni Magazine. The articles are important in terms of reflecting both the political and cultural atmosphere of the period. Also, the articles are important in terms of showing how the press of the Ottoman Empire, the centre of the caliphate, reacted to the problems in the Islamic world. By examining the articles in these periodicals, the then-current issues of the Islamic world can be understood. Especially considering the importance of the Malay world for Islamic civilisation, the articles were determined as the subject of study. As a result of the study, it is seen that the articles in Ottoman periodicals mostly contained information about the social, economic, cultural, and political situation of the Muslims living in the Malay world.","PeriodicalId":430568,"journal":{"name":"TAFHIM: IKIM Journal of Islam and the Contemporary World","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114546228","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 those leading contemporary reformation proponents in uṣūl al-fiqh today is Jasser Auda. This paper aims to analyse one of his proposals, which is related to the concept of al-naskh (abrogation). According to him, the principle of abrogation does not have any religious basis in the al-Qur’ān nor the Sunnah. It is instead in most situations a personal opinion of the narrator/comentator. As an alternative to alnaskh, his proposal is for the uṣūliyyūn to consider the maqāṣid (higher objectives) behind each verse (naṣṣ) in circumstances where there are disagreements between the verses (nuṣūṣ).","PeriodicalId":430568,"journal":{"name":"TAFHIM: IKIM Journal of Islam and the Contemporary World","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133343901","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}

However, those narrations highlighted as problematic were systematically elaborated, discussed, and codified in detail by many outstanding Muslim scholars of the past. Among them was Ibn Qutaybah al-Dinawārī (d. 276AH. / 894CE). This paper applies a descriptive method through content analysis of Ibn Qutaybah’s book Taʾwīl Mukhtalif al-Ḥadīth to derive his method of synchronising the alleged mukhtalif al-ḥadīth with the Qur’ānic teachings. It also intends to develop the guidelines in dealing with the alleged problematic ḥadīth relevant for today’s consumption. This paper concludes that utilising the positive method of taʾwīl (allegorical interpretation) will increase the possibility of a positive approach in understanding and implementing the teachings of the Prophetic Tradition.","PeriodicalId":430568,"journal":{"name":"TAFHIM: IKIM Journal of Islam and the Contemporary World","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129555303","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}

Rachid Ghannouchi has been recognised for his adherence to the concept of Islamic democracy. The purpose of this article is to examine the views of Rachid Ghannouchi towards Islam and democracy through a range of his writings and statements. As such, the research methodology applied is qualitative with data collection instruments. The article uses textual analysis to study how democracy is understood by Ghannouchi within an Islamic framework, along with his theory on the compatibility of Islam with democracy. The article has shown that he adopts a perspective of harmony between modern political thoughts and the original form of Islam as he proposes principles and characteristics of Islamic democracy. Islamic concepts such as shūrā, ijtihād, maṣāliḥ and values such as justice, freedom, and pluralism are discussed. Ghannouchi’s line of thought and its highlights are not free from critics from both the Islamic quarters as well as non-Islamists. Criticisms towards Ghannouchi as well as his responses are duly discussed.","PeriodicalId":430568,"journal":{"name":"TAFHIM: IKIM Journal of Islam and the Contemporary World","volume":"216 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116225247","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}

In Malaysia, it is now the trend in the industry of cosmetics for local manufacturers to produce halal cosmetic products. As the market growth is rapid, the manufacturers of cosmetics are eager to dominate the market and come up with many product varieties in order to pursue and satisfy customers. However, most consumers are conscious of the ingredients used in the making of cosmetic products. While the introduction of new products may facilitate companies in gaining competitive advantage, the failure rate of local products is high. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to understand the relationship between product characteristics, social influence and individual innovativeness with halal cosmetics adoption among young consumers in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. The sampling of this study comprised 350 respondents using survey questionnaires that were distributed in shopping malls in the Klang Valley. In order to test the model, this study used the structural equation modelling (SEM) technique using partial least squares (PLS) with SmartPLS 3.2.8. The findings of this study show that there is a positive relationship between product characteristics, social influence and individual innovativeness towards halal cosmetics adoption among respondents. This study demonstrates that halal cosmetics adoption is increasing among young consumers. Therefore, cosmetics producers or marketers need to understand the behaviour of young consumers in order to ensure that failure rate can be minimised.","PeriodicalId":430568,"journal":{"name":"TAFHIM: IKIM Journal of Islam and the Contemporary World","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128484307","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}

It also highlights the issue from the Islamic perspective, and offers an alternative approach to interpreting human rights. This article concludes by explaining the need for human rights and free speech to be interpreted according to common moral and religious values, and emphasising the purpose of human rights and free speech—which should be for the attainment of justice.
