In this article, I examine some theoretical doubts about the crisis of values. Among other things, I consider the following issues: crisis of values versus crisis of value consciousness; crisis of values in general versus crisis of concrete values; negative and positive aspects of the crisis of values; and theoretical crises versus crises of practical life. The aim of the considerations is to clarify the terminology used in the theories of crisis and to answer the question as to whether we are currently experiencing a crisis of values.

Codification of Islamic law is studied due to its positive role on practical life to produce appropriate solutions and fair judgments for litigation and disputation. Codification is a process which contributes to the reformation in political, social, financial and judiciary sectors, by drafting fair Islamic codes, pursuant to the principles, values and customs of the Muslim nations. However, there is a scholarly debate on whether Islamic law could be codified or not. A group of intellectuals validates it while another group invalidates it. Hence, this study aims to critically examine the intellectual dispute over the legality of codification of Islamic law. The study is accomplished through the critical analysis of related documents, books and literature. The study verifies that codification of Islamic law is not just valid but rather indispensable because it conforms to the legal policy (siyasah shariyyah), public wellbeing and fundamental ruling of permissibility. In addition, codification of Islamic law complies with the noble objectives of the Shariah (Maqasid al-Shariah). The study finds out that the merits and motives of codification are far higher than its perils as seen by some scholars. It posits that codification of Islamic law would be the timely solution to get back the unity and solidarity among the Muslim world. It concludes that all the sections of Islamic law, excluding the rituals (ibadat), such as civil, constitutional, judiciary, penal, international, etc. are eligible to be codified. Thus, codification in Islamic law refers to the codification of fiqh provisions and not to the Shariah in its wider sense and overall contents. Moreover, the study also provides required conditions to be observed in the codification of Islamic law.    .  Keywords: Codification, Islamic Law, Legal Policy, Public Wellbeing, Fundamental permissibility, Maqasid al Shari'ah. Abstrak Kodifikasi undang-undang Islam diberi perhatian kerana peranan positifnya dalam kehidupan manusia dalam menghasilkan solusi yang sesuai dan pertimbangan yang adil dalam perbicaraan dan perselisihan. Kodifikasi undang-undang menyumbang kepada perubahan dalam sektor politik, sosial, kewangan dan kehakiman, dengan penyediaan kod syariah yang adil, berdasarkan prinsip, nilai dan budaya orang Islam. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat perdebatan ilmiah tentang kodifikasi tersebut sama ada ianya boleh dilakukan atau sebaliknya. Sebahagian cendekiawan berpendapat ianya dibolehkan manakala sebahagian yang lain menafikannya. Oleh itu, kajian ini mengkaji secara kritis perselisihan intelektual mengenai kesahihan kodifikasi undang-undang Islam. Kajian ini dicapai melalui analisis kritikal terhadap dokumen, buku dan kesusasteraan yang berkaitan. Kajian ini mengesahkan bahawa kodifikasi undang-undang Islam bukan hanya sah tetapi diperlukan kerana ia mematuhi dasar undang-undang (siysah sharyariyyah), kesejahteraan awam dan ketetapan asas yang dibenarkan. Di samping itu, kodifikasi undang-undang Islam adalah mematuhi objektif Shariah (maqasid al shari’ah). Kajian ini mendapati bahawa merit dan motif kodifikasi ini lebih memberi kesan baik  daripada bahaya sebagaimana difahami oleh beberapa ulama. Ia mengemukakan bahawa kodifikasi hukum Islam adalah penyelesaian bagi mengembalikan perpaduan di kalangan dunia Islam. Ia menyimpulkan bahawa semua bahagian undang-undang Islam, tidak termasuk ritual, seperti sivil, perlembagaan, kehakiman, hukuman, antarabangsa, dan lain-lain layak untuk dikodifikasikan. Oleh itu, kodifikasi dalam undang-undang Islam merujuk kepada kodifikasi fiqh dan bukannya Shariah secara keseluruhannya. Selain itu, kajian ini juga menyediakan syarat-syarat yang perlu dipatuhi dalam pengkodifikasi hukum Islam. Kata Kunci: Kod Pengubahsuaian, Undang-undang Islam, Dasar Perundangan, Kesejahteraan Awam, Kebolehpercayaan asas, Maqasid al Shari'ah.

There is no doubt that understanding the texts of theAL  Qur’an and the Sunnah is correct and one of the most important influences in preparing a Muslim’s mind, thinking and misunderstanding. It has made the ummah divisions, parties and groups that move away and approach pure and pure Islam whenever their understanding is controlled by the rules of the AL Qur’an and Sunnah and a sound mind far from whims and hatred, and away from ignorance and hatred The ignorant and the hateful are the same in defaming Islam and distorting its image. The hadith of the Holy Prophet, may ALLAH prayers and peace be upon him, in Al-Rawabda and the future foresight in it are important topics that need to be studied and scrutinized, because the Prophet, may ALLAH prayers and peace be upon him, reported on matters whose features have been revealed in our present time, and I did not find anyone who studied this topic in a careful, analytical, scientific study. To demonstrate the authenticity of the hadith due to its weakness, by examining the evidence that it came to make it possible to benefit from the legal rulings that it included to convert the Prophet’s Sunnah from the texts preserved between the lines into our daily practical life as a control for our dishonor, a guide and a guide. The nature of this research required that it be divided into three demands The first requirement - the methods of hadith, its chain of narrators, and the reasons for it The second requirement - the text adopted from the hadithThe third requirement - the legal provisions learned from it As for the first requirement, the chain of narrators, through studying this requirement carefully, it became clear to me that the hadith was transmitted by three of the Companions: Abu Huraira, AnasIbn Malik, AwfIbn Malik Al-Ashajai, may Allah be pleased with them all, and a group of narrators transmitted it from them, and in some of these methods some drawbacks and reasons, including the research And then I will study, research and scrutiny As for the second requirement, it was in the text adopted from the hadith, which combines the different expressions of the hadith in different ways. It is his saying (the Messenger of Allah, may Allah prayers and peace be upon him. It was said: O Messenger of God, and who is Al-Rawaidah? He said: A fool speaks about common matters. As for the third axis, the legal rulings learned from the hadith, this hadith is considered one of the future miracles of the Holy Prophet, may Allah prayers and peace be upon him, which were revealed by the days and years, because it describes our reality today and that it lives in it, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Understanding texts and linking them to facts and events is not a real revelation, but rather an interpretation and diligence that can be wrong and correct and delude people that this understanding and interpretation is the revealed revelation, and it is the intention of Allah Almighty and His Messenger, may Allah prayers and peace be upon him. To denounce Islam and Muslims and bring out the confused image of Islam and Muslims in front of people and deceives that this is the Islam that Muhammad, may Allah prayers and peace be upon him and his companions, may Allah be pleased with them all, brought. This is a lie and a shame on Allah, His Messenger and Islam.

Abstract. During the last decades, several studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of sexual abuse prevention programs implemented in different countries. In this article, we present a review of 70 studies (1981–2017) evaluating prevention programs, conducted mostly in the United States and Canada, although with a considerable presence also in other countries, such as New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The results of these studies, in general, are very promising and encourage us to continue this type of intervention, almost unanimously confirming its effectiveness. Prevention programs encourage children and adolescents to report the abuse experienced and they may help to reduce the trauma of sexual abuse if there are victims among the participants. We also found that some evaluations have not considered the possible negative effects of this type of programs in the event that they are applied inappropriately. Finally, we present some methodological considerations as critical analysis to this type of evaluations.
