The relevance of the article is that bringing Ukrainian legislation in line with the insurance legislation of the European Union is one of the priority areas in the economy of Ukraine. The process of adaptation is a complex process given the large volume of regulations. The analysis of the comparative insurance process is the initial stage for determining the methods for implementing the norms of international cooperation at the domestic level. Insurance during the crisis (covid-19) and other negative political and economic events, the decline in the material well-being of the population has created a problem of significant reduction in consumer demand for insurance services. The problem of supporting consumer demand and the competitiveness of insurance companies is especially relevant today. The article provides a comparative comparative analysis of Ukrainian insurance legislation, the purpose of which is to identify regulatory relationships based on a comparison of national legislation and international regulations of one or different historical periods. It is concluded that significant differences in the parameters and proportions of the domestic market in accordance with the standards of the European insurance market indicate that on the path to European integration our country faces complex long-term challenges for the development of the domestic insurance system. In the EU there are unified methods and forms of state regulation of insurance activities, which are established by the relevant directives of the European Union on insurance. In this regard, the strategic perspective of Ukraine's insurance system development should be based on European standards, in particular, it is necessary to improve the work of the regulator, the legal framework, life insurance and health insurance, accident compensation limits, etc. Therefore, in order to create a proper basis for further development of the insurance market, increase its reliability, the regulatory framework should be based on clear, understandable and modern principles that will ensure proper performance of the functions assigned to them by insurers.

An urgent task in the field of public administration of non-banking financial services markets is to improve the regulation of the insurance market. On the example of the insurance services market, the problems of the functioning of the financial market regulation system are highlighted. Suggestions for its improvement are presented to increase the competitiveness of these markets. The development of the Ukrainian insurance market after 2015 to the present has a positive trend, which indicates the effectiveness and managerial ability of the state regulation system. The indicators of the state of the insurance market of Ukraine in comparison with similar indicators of such markets in the countries of the European Union are considered. The dynamics of concentration of the insurance market of Ukraine over the past 15 years has been analyzed. The main trends in the development of competition in this financial sphere have been identified. The necessity of state regulation of the concentration of the insurance market is substantiated. Views on the methodology and tools used in the study of the concentration and competitiveness of the insurance market are presented. Suggestions for improving the methods are given. It is shown that from 2012 to 2019 the Herfindahl - Hirschman index for risky types of insurance and for the insurance market as a whole has been increasing. It is established that according to the gradation of financial market concentration levels using the Herfindahl - Hirschman index, the insurance market of Ukraine corresponds to the degree of low concentration. According to the value of the Herfindahl - Hirschman indicator, the concentration of the life insurance market during 2003 – 2019, with the exception of 2015, is moderate. But the total share of gross insurance premiums collected by the three largest insurance companies in 2017 – 2019 exceeded 50 % of all gross insurance premiums. According to the Ukrainian law, such a market is considered a monopoly. It is shown that when analyzing the state and development of the insurance market of Ukraine, it is advisable to supplement the values of the Herfindahl - Hirschman index with corrective coefficients that take into account regional characteristics of the market, types of insurance, additional indicators of its functioning efficiency. Measures are proposed to accelerate the development of the insurance market of Ukraine by improving its regulation system.

Religion plays a pivotal role in people’s attitude to organ donation. Generally, practising Muslims (adherents of the Islamic faith) are unlikely to consent to organ donation because they believe it is not in keeping with the tenets of Islamic law (Sharī`ah). Although there is a wealth of information on organ donation with reference to both South African and Islamic law, there has not been a study comparing the two sets of laws. The purpose of this article is to develop the literature on living and cadaveric organ donation by drawing a comparison between Islamic law and South African law on this issue. Apart from a few minor differences inherent in each set of laws, there is a startling consensus in South African law and Sunnī (mainstream) Islamic law on the issue of organ donation. This research is also significant in that it provides legal and medical professionals, academics and practitioners with an informed position from which to advise clients and/or patients. This may in turn raise awareness among clients and/or patients, which could result in a desirable increase in organ donation rates among Muslims in South Africa. This article makes a number of recommendations in this regard.

This paper is a form of literary study of Islamic law related to the interpretation of truth from two groups, namely Radical Muslims and Moderate Muslims. Radical Muslims construct narratives of "imagined Islam", both as a mythology of the past and a future utopia. They are aggressive and speak out loud in expressing their religious understanding, so that the impact becomes acts of violence and terror. In contrast to moderate Muslims, with a narrative of harmony that Islam is compromised with the local context of society, with the aim of realizing God's mercy and compassion for all human beings. The nature of compassion and moderation which are the basic values ​​of Islamic law must always be fought for against other Muslim groups who have violent and fierce faces. Furthermore, this paper wants to reveal the point of issue which is the source of interpretation between moderates and radicals in defining the meaning of "the truth of the Islamic faith" in applying God's laws on earth.
