<p><span lang="EN-US">Islam has comprehensive roles in some aspects of human activity. It enlarged from theological aspect to political aspects. Some former colonized countries where Islam was coexisted, this religion became an embryo of nationalist movements during colonization era. This essay scrutinizes the role of Islam in escalating nationalism during colonization era and it relation with the states in post colonization era in four former colonized countries namely Brunei Darussalam, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia. By using comparative method, the essay researched some main literature (library research) related to Islam and nationalism. It was founded that Islam has significant roles in nationalist movement in the four analyzed countries through several channels. Meanwhile, in the post-independence era, the relation between Islam and state system are variably. In India, Islam is separated from state system (secular). In contrast, Islamic ideology became the main sources of state system in Brunei Darussalam (adopted entirely) and Malaysia (adopted partially).

In the past, Muslims and non-Muslims mainly depended on equity-based financing while debt was an exception, but this whole system was altered with the inception of banks followed by the corporations and the role of partnerships started to shrink. Accordingly, many issues emerged concerning the current financial system, for instance three different banking theories were developed that are based on different understanding of how banks and money function and each lead to different economic and policy implications. Frankly, the new entire system was borrowed from the English law and hence raised doubt about its compliance with Sharī&rsquo;ah. Accordingly, the study aims to re-examine the structure of corporations, especially the concept of legal personality, and the provision of debt finance under the principles of Islamic law and their effect on the economy as compared to partnerships. The study employed library research, content analysis as well as case study approaches and found that the only correct banking theory that is supported by an empirical evidence is the credit creation theory which states that banks can create money out of nothing. Moreover, after analyzing the concept of legal personality, the concept proved not to be accepted by the classical scholars although the majority of the contemporary scholars insist on its validity. Furthermore, the whole structure was found to contradict some of the main principles of Islamic law. Finally, partnerships were found to be more efficient than the debt-based system in terms of allocating the investable resources and the marginal efficiency of capital.

In Islamic law, a child will not be subject to a punishment for the crime he committed, because there is no legal responsibility for a child of any age until he reaches the age of baliq, qadhi will only have the right to reprimand him or set some restrictions for him to help improve the child in the future. It is expected that this research can contribute to the renewal of national criminal law, especially regarding criminal liability committed by children, taking into account the concepts in Islamic criminal law.

The use of cadar becomes a controversial discussion in Indonesia. However, the majority of scholars consider the cadar is not an obligation in religion. Bearing in mind, there are differences in the limits of women's genitalia or awrat. It shows in the Quranic interpretation of literature in Indonesia that cadar's views lie in the different scholars in interpreting and determining the limits of women's genitalia. This paper uses a comparative method to compare the interpretations of Hasbi Ash-Shiddieqy and Quraish Shihab in understanding verses about the cadar and the limits of women's Awrat (genitalia) in both interpretations. This research method is qualitative and library research. Hasbi Asy-Syiddieqy, in his interpretation of An-Nur, explains that women are obliged to cover their jewelry, while Quraish Shihab considers the cadar is not an obligation in religion because, for him, the face is not part of the awrat (genitalia) that must be covered. The difference can be seen from their educational and scientific backgrounds. Hasbi Asy-Syiddieqy has a background in Islamic law (Fiqh), so the style of interpretation in the book of An-Nur is more nuanced in fiqh. However, Quraish Shihab highlights the nuances of interpretation in the book of Al-Misbah, which tends to imitate the model or style of interpretation of Muhammad Abduh and Rashid Rida. This cadar is part of the need for tahsiniyat (Luxuries). The need for tahsiniyat is a need which if not fulfilled, does not threaten the existence of one of the maqashid ash-shariah (objectives of sharia) and does not cause difficulties.

This paper discusses the role of women as witnesses in a court. This is one of debatable issues in Islamic law considering the provision stating that the value of two women’s testimony is equal to one man’s testimony. Based on a more comprehensive discussion and by revisiting the Islamic resources on this issue, this paper concludes that the provision in the hadith, historically, regards heavily on women’s capability and readiness to perform their duties as witnesses. It can be seen in the case of qadzaf where women can be witnesses for themselves (by stating four oaths in the name of Allah). Therefore, in the current development, women’s role as witnesses needs to be reconsidered so that women can appear in the judiciary to play a role in supporting justice. Penelitian literatur  (library research) ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa bagaimana pandangan kesaksian perempuan dalam Islam melalui pendekatan analitik terhadap ketentuan dalam fikih keadilan yang ditinjau melalui berbagai  berbagai corak diskusi dan referensi yang mendukung penelitian ini. Kesaksian merupakan proses menemukan dan membuktikan kebenaran dalam  perkara  perdata maupun  pidana. Dalam  hukum Islam, hal-hal yang membutuhkan kesaksian seperti itu adalah pernikahan dan perceraian yang menyangkut hudud dan qisha. Ada beberapa kriteria khusus dalam memberikan kesaksian. Dalam masalah-masalah spesifik, perempuan  tidak diizinkan memberikan kesaksian, diantaranya ialah wilayah hudud dan qisha. Ketentuan lainnya ialah  perempuan dapat  menjadi saksi di pengadilan, tetapi hanya dalam kasus perdata (transaksi keuangan), dan itupun bobot dua wanita sama dengan satu pria. Apabila  merujuk pada makna teks, maka jelas siapa pun dia (wanita) dan kualifikasinya tidak diperbolehkan untuk melayani sebagai saksi dalam kasus pidana. Meskipun secara historis,  terbukti banyak wanita cerdas, memiliki kedewasaan emosional, kredibilitas, dan berbagai kemampuan yang memenuhi syarat untuk tampil sebagai saksi dalam kasus-kasus, baik sipil maupun pidana. Masalah kesaksian seorang perempuan tersebut dinilai oleh sebagian orang sebagai salah satu perbedaan yang mensubordinasi perempuan.
