The Third Seminar on Islamic Economics, held under the sponsorshipof the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT) and the Associationof Muslim Social Scientists (AMSS), took on an international character withdelegates in attendance from as far east as Malaysia, Egypt, and Saudi Arabiain addition to participants from Canada and the United States. This year'stheme for the conference, "Resource Mobilization and Investment in an IslamicFramework;' evoked considerable interest among both academicians andpractitioners of the Islamic economic reform movement. Evidence of thisinterest was seen in the large number of research papers received on thesubject although, regrettably, funding limitations prevented many a scholarfrom participating in the meetings.The first day's sessions opened with brief remarks from Sayyid M. Syeed,general secretary of the AMSS, and Zaidi Sattar, program director for theseminar. Their remarks, while highlighting the significant strides made inthe past decade in research on Islamic economics, pointed to the substantialfinancial and logistical constraints that remain in the advancement of futureresearch in the area. IIIT and AMSS were commended for their past rolein this endeavor, and hopes were expressed for a more vigorous role in thefuture.The highlight of the opening session was the thoughtful inaugural addressby Taha Jabir al ‘Alwani, President, IIIT, who emphasized the importanceof the “human” element in the organization and management of economicresources as “. . . man is both intellect ready for thought, and hands readyfor action.” Citing from the Holy Qur’an and the works of Islamic scholars,he stressed that Islamic thought has much to offer in the emancipation ofthe ummah from the debilitating influence of colonialism. Development ofthe mind, he argued, is as critical to a society’s growth process as is thedevelopment of economic resources ...

In this research I dealt with the phenomenon of displacement in the poetry of tramps in the pre-Islamic era, and I was able to identify this phenomenon and manifest it as a stylistic phenomenon that formed a general aspect not limited to language. Rather, it expanded to constitute a deviation of a social, cultural and intellectual system that was isolated from the parent system of the standard pre-Islamic society. The nature of the research necessitated its distribution to four sections. In the first section, it dealt with the meaning of displacement and its importance in stylistic studies. In the second topic, it dealt with the phenomenon of social displacement, while the third topic dealt with displacement at the level of building the poem. Then, Pappers stamped it with the results of the search. The key word: Displacement Tramps Poetry

Governance in Islamic history has taken many different forms. The formative period saw most innovative deployment of the Arab tribal norms under the guidance of Islamic norms and the pressure of the rapid expansion. After the conquests, the ruling elite augmented their Arab tribal form of governance with numerous institutions and practices from the surrounding empires, particularly the Persian empire. The Umayyads ruled as Arab chiefs, whereas the Abbasids ruled as Persian emperors. Local influences further asserted themselves in governance after the Abbasids weakened and as Islamization took root. After the fragmentation of the Abbasid empire by the ah 4th century/10th century ce, a distinctively Islamic society emerged whose regional rulers upheld its law and institutions such as land-grants (iqṭāʿ), taxation (kharāj and jizya), education (legal madhhab, jāmiʿ and madrasah), and judiciary (qaḍāh). A triangle of governmental authority was established, with the caliph as the source of legitimacy, symbol of community unity, and leader of religious rites; the sultan as the territorial king who maintained the army and monopoly over violence; and the scholars (ulama’) as socioreligious leaders of their respective communities. The caliph or the sultan appointed the local qāḍīs from among the ulama’, who served not only as judges and mediators but also as moral guides and administers of endowments and jurisconsults and counselors, and thus played a key role in the self-governance of classical Islamic societies.

AbstractSunni Islam is at heart a cult of authenticity, with the science of Hadīth criticism functioning as a centerpiece designed to distinguish authentic attributions to the Prophet from forgeries. It is thus surprising that even after Hadīth scholars had sifted sound Hadīths from weak, mainstream Sunni Islam allowed the use of unreliable Hadīths as evidence in subjects considered outside of the core areas of law. This majority stance, however, did not displace minority schools of thought that saw the use of unreliable Hadīths as both a danger to social morality and contrary to the stated values of Islamic thought. This more stringent position has burgeoned in the early modern and modern periods, when eliminating the use of weak Hadīths has become a common call of both Salafi revivalists and Islamic modernists. This article explores and traces the history of the various Sunni schools of thought on the use of weak and forged Hadīths from the third/ninth century to the present day.
