The Islamic system of state established by the Prophet (SM), existed from 623CE in Medina. The state of Medina was neither monarchic nor republican, ruled on the policy of the majority. This state was based neither on tribalism nor on nationalism, rather on humanism and Islamic monotheism. It was really an Ideological state and the ideology was Islam. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to describe the main features of an Islamic Ideological state through its main principles and distinguishing points of three basic organs and to analyse the differences between an Islamic state and secular states.

Bayt al-mal is one of the important architectural innovations that characterized the Islamic civilization. It represents the treasury of the Islamic State, which preserves the various financial resources of the State. The Bayt al-mal appeared in the era of the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him), and its layout was simple reflects the simplicity of Islam. Its location was inside the mosque or adjacent to it. Bayt al-mal developed with the expansion of the Islamic State and the Islamic conquests, and it has a special called Diwan Bayt al-mal. Domes were built in mosques as one of the branches and sections of the Bayt al-mal. These domes were dedicated to preserving the different funds of the endowments and places. The location of these domes was in the great mosques' courtyard. They rise from the courtyard's surface and based on eight columns. These domes appeared especially in Umayyad mosques in Syria and Palestine. Then they spread in most countries in the east and west of the Islamic world. This research deals with the concept of the Bayt al-mal; its names, origin, architectural development, and the reasons to build them. This research also studies the dimension of jurisprudence in the building of these domes. It used an analytical study of the architectural shape of these domes and studies the impact of functional dimension on the form and plan of these domes. This study shows the remaining examples of these domes in Islamic mosques and mentions some examples of the extinct ones.

An analytical study of subsurface transportation of long marine pipelines has been performed. Systematic models and numerical algorithms are developed to predict the static configuration and stress distributions along the pipeline during transportation phase. A successive linearization technique and the state variable transfer matrix method are utilized to obtain solutions to the nonlinear two-point boundary value system of equations. Discrete buoyancy forces are also included to reduce barge thrust requirement while maintaining safe stress levels along the pipeline.

The article discusses the specifics of legal techniques in the formulation of legal definition. A comparative analysis of approaches to understanding the definition procedure in jurisprudence, philosophy, logic, mathematics and philology is carried out. The relevance of the topic under study lies in the absence in modern legal tech-nology of generally accepted approaches to understanding the methodological speci-ficity of the implementation of the definition procedure. The purpose of this article is to determine the methodological foundations of differentiation of axiomatic and con-textual definitions, the implementation of the critical analysis of the classifications of types of definitions in the modern scientific literature. The basis of the concept of definition proposed by the authors is the analytical study of the logicallinguistic operation of determination on the example of the defi-nition of «corruption» from the Federal Law of December 25, 2008 No. 273-FZ. There is a lack of legal recognition of corruption as a bribe, and criticism of the narrow definition. Corruption is defined as a criminal act of a social and legal nature, which is constrained by the nature of official crimes in conflict with the interests of society and the State, the essence of which is an obvious mercenary motive in personal en-richment (material and non-material) through the use of his official position (authori-ty) for mercenary purposes. The study is based on the methodological tools of systemic, structural-functional and comparative cognition methods.

    There is no doubt that the guardianship of the funds of orphans, minors and the like is of the utmost importance, which the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has given keen attention in all respects and has established for this purpose the State General Authority on the funds of minors and the like. And the extent to which it can carry out the objectives for which it was established. Where the purely objectives were, to identify ways to manage these funds. Evaluate the management of these funds and their ability to achieve the purpose of the street, which governs the details and mechanisms of the Authority's work. As well as to identify the role of the supervisory bodies in the maintenance of funds that fall within the competence of the General Authority of the State. The researcher used the analytical research methodology, which was limited to studying the theoretical framework for dealing with the funds of orphans, minors and the like in light of the executive regulations of the Authority. Also, the supervisory principles governing the guarantee and safe keeping and development of such funds. The study concluded that the answer to the research questions was that there is a good management of funds that fall under the mandate of the Commission to ensure their preservation? In addition, what is the role of the financial control bodies stipulated in the Authority's system in preserving these funds and ensuring their safety? In response to the first question, the study finds that the Authority, despite the efforts it is doing, is skeptical in its work, but may be tainted by some shortcomings, represented by some observations on the executive bylaw. Most importantly, the list did not address the termination of the mandate, which emerged as one of the main stages in the legal framework and control. In response to the second question, the Commission did not clarify the mechanisms of control over those funds. The study came up with a number of recommendations, most notably the addition of an article in the executive regulations stating the mechanism of refunding the beneficiaries in case of termination.

This research addresses floods and how they affect the rules of worship (Ibadah) such as cleansing of oneself (Taharah), prayer (Salah), fasting (Sawm), alms (Zakah) and pilgrimage (Hajj). As much as the rules of Shariah relate to the acts of Mukallafin (who are legally competent to be responsible for religious duty), the effect of this kind of disaster reflects in the rules of victims’ actions, in terms of its obligation or not. The research confirms that floods are among the reasons that allow for the rule of reduction, ease and exemption from some parts of obligation in Islam (Rukhsah), because the situation is inconvenient and unbearable for the victims due to the hardship and necessity. So, considering their state of necessity, the rules of Fiqh related to worship will be based on these maxims: “Prevention and Eradication of Harm” and “Consideration of Ease and Reduction of Burden”. The inductive methodology is applied in the research by generating and collecting data from the sources, as well as the analytical methodology by analyzing the views of Islamic jurists on the topic. One of the main findings of the research is that floods have some adverse effects, such as bringing harm and damage to the people, putting the victims in a situation of unrest due to hardship and difficulty. In fact, the victims may be in the state of necessity; if some lives are lost. The victims of this disaster are permitted to use rules of RukhÎah in their worships, provided that hardship and necessity occur, and so that the removing and eradicating hardship and difficulty are required. This verdict is based on Shariah evidences such as the rule of analogy (Qiyas), means (Dharai') and unrestricted interests (Masalih Mursalah).


Research was conducted in Gauribidanur Taluk of Chickballapur District. According to 2011 census the total population of Gauribidanur was 80,673, Agriculture plays a prominent role here. Maize, ragi, coconut, sunflower, silkworm are the main crops. Karnataka is considered as the role model for agricultural products marketing. The use of technology to market agricultural products is seen as the most formidable measures by the government. The Karnataka government has implemented Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) in the state through an act of APMC Model Act 2003. The state has 161 APMCs to help the farmers. The online sale of agricultural products was a great hit among the farmers, the state government introduced the -Unified Market Platform (UMP) which integrated the APMCs to form a strong structure and a centralized mechanism to sell the farmer’s produce. The idea of “My Product My Price” is being promoted to ensure that farmers go on-line. Karnataka makes its agricultural market digital with Unified Market Platform. 103 APMCs have been integrated into the UMP system. 39 lakh farmers are registered under UMP, & 18,000 commission agents. Two objectives and two hypotheses have been picked up from the thesis and presented in a form of paper. Questionnaire was drafted to collect and analyze the data. Data was analyzed at three levels Macro Perspective-Kruskal-Wallis Test, Mann-Whitney U Test, Micro Perspective- ANOVA, Focused Path Analysis.
