The reality of the difference in applying Islamic law in the context of marriage law legislation in modern Muslim countries is undeniable. Tunisia and Turkey, for example, have practiced Islamic law of liberal nuance. Unlike the case with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates that still use the application of Islamic law as it is in their fiqh books. In between these two currents many countries are trying to apply the law in their own countries by trying to bridge the urgent new needs and local wisdom. This is widely embraced by modern Muslim countries in general. This paper reviews typologically the heterogeneousness of family law legislation of modern Muslim countries while responding to modernization issues. Typical buildings seen from modern family law reforms can be classified into four types. The first type is progressive, pluralistic and extradoctrinal reform, such as in Turkey and Tunisia. The second type is adaptive, unified and intradoctrinal reform, as in Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Algeria and Pakistan. The third type is adaptive, unified and intradoctrinal reform, represented by Iraq. While the fourth type is progressive, unifiied and extradoctrinal reform, which can be represented by Somalia and Algeria.

Stroke is a major cerebrovascular disease causes high mortality and morbidity in people around the world. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability. The largest country in the middle East, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), has been occupying approximately four-fifths of the Arabian Peninsula supporting a population of more than 28 million. Stroke is getting to be a quickly expanding issue and is the leading cause of illness and deaths in Saudi Arabia. It is clear that researches and studies regarding the incidence, prevalence and their sociodemographic properties of stroke is still incomplete due to lack of present studies being conducted in these specified areas. This article aims to discuss the aspect of stroke in Saudi Arabia beside the effects of modifiable and the non-modifiable risk factors from the literature published.

there is no doubt that the way chosen by the rulers of this country, may God protect it, made reference in all its works and acts for the Quran and the Sunnah; as the seventh article of the Basic Law of Ruling which is issued by the Royal Decree No. A / 90 dated 27/8/1412 AH states: “The ruling in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia derives its authority from Quran and Sunnah of the prophet and they are the rulers over this law and all state laws”, and the eighth article states: "The ruling in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is based on justice, mutual consultation "Shura", and equality in accordance with Sharia law." This study is an application based on this approach, which is depending on Quran and Sunnah, and based on justice, Shura, and equality between people according to the provisions of Sharia. Whilst scientific research is one of the legitimate ways which paves the way for exchanging opinions and providing advice; the researcher in his capacity as a practitioner, and has experience in this regard, and has something to add about a new topic like this which is classified within the jurisprudence of contemporary issues, especially in our country, may God protect it, considering that applications related to tax are characterized as contemporary issues, and it is still on its way to take shape and clarity; Therefore, the researcher tries to present a study in this regard because of the inaccuracy he observed in the implementation and the lack of perception according to his point of view, in which it may contribute to rationalizing the work, and leaves an influence on the development of this sector, as this presented study does not determine the principles concerning what is imposed on the practitioner, it rather determines what is beyond that where it draws attention that economic policies are nothing but a reflection of the ideological attitudes and ideas which those who determine those policies believe in, in addition to that steps in various areas should be launched in harmony with those ideological and intellectual trends. This study determines that imposing zakat on the practitioneras a man of a profession is incorrect and there is no supporting evidence for it and no scholar has said something like that in our entire jurisprudential heritage. As for imposing tax on the practitioner, it is something that is justifiable, but with certain conditions. The most important of which is that it should be characterized by horizontal justice: It means treating similar taxpayers alike, and vertical justice: It means treating different taxpayers in circumstances differently. This was emphasized during the study, as the study showed that the only tax that can be imposed on the practitioner is the income tax, and it is not accepted to impose such tax, in accordance with good tax standards, unless the income tax is imposed on other similar professions which is in accordance to the aforementioned horizontal justice rule. As for the imposition of value-added tax on the professional, this is not fair; because it necessarily becomes an income tax, and I mentioned the reason for that, and accordingly it is not accepted to be imposed on the practitioner, because he becomes a victim of double taxation, which is discussed in this study. I conclude this research sincerely for the sake of Allah the Almighty, His Messenger, the Muslim rulers and Muslim people. Prayers and blessings be upon his prophet, household and companions.

Zakat is the obligation of almsgiving within Islam. It is the third pillar of Islam and is a requirement for all believers. This exposition concerns the collection of zakat by a state and the administrative and jurisprudential challenges faced by the state. History has shown that the collection of zakat used to be done at the state level since the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him), until the downfall of the Islamic rule through colonization during the 18th and 19th centuries. As a result of the colonization of Muslim lands, there has been a discontinuity in the collection of zakat by those states for centuries. However, this exposition has identified that some of the Muslim countries have begun to institutionalize the collection of zakat by choosing to implement the compulsory zakat collection system. This is a system where the government is responsible for the assessment, collection and distribution of zakat. Some examples of countries already operating this system are Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Yemen. State controlled zakat collection is argued to be the most effective way of collecting zakat as an additional source of revenue. However, this system is not without challenges that inhibit the size of zakat revenue to be realized. This exposition has identified these challenges as administrative and jurisprudential. A number of publicists have written several books and articles on the collection of zakat by a state. However none of them have considered the fact that this system faces challenges when it comes to the collection of zakat. The exposition, therefore, has attempted to add to the existing literature by identifying what these administrative and jurisprudential challenges are that affect the collection of zakat by a state.
