الخوارج و الحكم عليهم في ضوء الحديث : سيخرج قوم في آخر الزمان

الخوارج و الحكم عليهم في ضوء الحديث : سيخرج قوم في آخر الزمان I have looked into the condition of the Islamic natiqn , I found a kind of extremism and exaggeration for some of its youth. Then I studied the purified Sunnah and I found a relation between the extremists of this age and the dissidents, therefore I aimed to discover the properties of the dissidents and their beliefs and the vicious of their method and their bad behaviour and the reasons of their appearance and their failure to understand the religion and their deviation from the moderate method of Islam. .They were blind to see or seemed blind to see the texts coming in Qura'n and Sunnah which explain how to ask for grace and forbid the abominable . Youth see it as an execuse to see infidels from Jews and Christians, disbelievers, infidels and pagans and their domination in Muslim's interests and their interference in the affairs of Islamic countries and the fate of their people which led to their complaint and feeling of their youth and cultured and people of solicitude of grievance and degradation.

The Organization of the Islamic Cooperation and the Conflict in Southern Thailand

<p>The current wave of insurgency in the southern provinces of Thailand, where the majority of population are Muslim, sparked up in 2004 but shows no sign of ending in the near future. The insurgency caused by the conflict in the region which, along the time, has risen and fallen depending on surrounding circumstances. Given the scale and intensity of the conflict, it has increasingly attracted the attention of the outside world especially the Islamic world since the conflict is believed to be connected with religious elements. Despite of this, no specific Islamic countries have played a direct role in intervention in the conflict. The only intervention involved in the conflict was carried out by the OIC, a representative of 57 Islamic countries. This essay attempts to examine the intervention of the OIC into the conflict in the southern provinces of Thailand in the name of Islamic countries in order to protect the rights of Muslim minorities as it claims and will explore the consequences of the tension between the OIC’s mission to uphold these rights and sovereign states.</p>

ANALISIS PERKEMBANGAN SEKTOR KEUANGAN TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN EKONOMI DI NEGARA ISLAM

This study analyzes the development of the financial sector on economic growth in Islamic countries in twelve Islamic countries for the period of 2011-2018. This study aims to determine the effect of the sector from conventional and sharia banking or the whole on economic growth in Islamic countries and from the Islamic finance sector to economic growth in Islamic countries. This study applied panel data to estimate empirically involving 12 Islamic countries during the 2011-2018 period. This study reveals that the fixed Effect model is the best model to explain the effect of the independent variables as a whole and specifically the Islamic finance sector on the dependent variable. Overall, the results of this study indicate that the variables of interest rates, total assets of conventional banks, financing and total assets of Islamic banks have no effect on economic growth. Meanwhile, the deposit variable has a negative effect and the number of Islamic banks has a positive effect on economic growth. Furthermore, the test for the Islamic finance sector on economic growth, the financing variable and the number of sharia offices have a significant positive effect on economic growth. For the variable total assets of Islamic banks has no effect on economic growth.

THE LEGAL POSITION OF CANING PUNISHMENT IN ACEH

Amongst the punishments that have been implemented in the Islamic criminal law is caning punishment. The caning punishment in Aceh is carried out directly and opens to the public. However, some Islamic countries carry out caning in private such as in prisons. In Aceh, the implementation of caning that has been carried out openly is based on Aceh Qanun Number 6 of 2014 concerning Jinayat Law and Qanun No. 7 of 2013 concerning Jinayat Procedural Law. However, in 2015, the implementation of the caning was carried out behind closed doors like in prisons. This is in accordance with the Governor Regulation Number 5 of 2018 about the Implementation of 'Uqubat Whip’ in the Correctional Institutions. Changes in the implementation of the caning punishment led to the pros and cons among the society. Many believe that the implementation of caning in a closed manner will affect the effectiveness of the punishment in reducing the number of shari'ah violations. Although there are many factors that influence the number of crime in society, the punishment and the implementation of the punishment itself are considered as the most important factors

Chaos May Prevail Without Filial Piety: A Cross-Cultural Study on Filial Piety, the Dark Triad, and Moral Disengagement

In traditional Chinese society, filial piety (FP) served as the philosophical foundation of social governance, without which chaos would prevail. It indicates that the function of FP is not limited to family. FP can predict attitudes and behaviors in other social contexts. This study examined the relationship between FP and moral disengagement, and the mediating roles of the dark triad personality, and cultural differences regarding these mechanisms. An online self-report survey was conducted in two different culture groups- university students from China (N = 400, 37% male, Mage = 20.41, SD age = 2.52) and Islamic countries who are studying in China (N = 378, 59.25% male, Mage = 24.29, SD age = 4.77). Correlation analysis showed that authoritarian FP was positively associated with moral disengagement among students from China and Islamic countries, while reciprocal FP only negatively correlated with moral disengagement among Chinese students. Moreover, reciprocal FP directly and negatively affected moral disengagement, and did so indirectly through the mediating role of Machiavellianism. However, authoritarian FP directly and positively influenced moral disengagement, and did so indirectly through the buffering role of narcissism. These two parallel mediating models are not affected by culture. Though FP varies from culture to culture, reciprocal FP and authoritarian FP play critical roles in influencing personality and moral development. Reciprocal FP reduces moral disengagement directly and indirectly by weakening Machiavellianism. The role of authoritarian FP is conflicting. It can strengthen moral disengagement, but may also weaken it by deterring the development of the narcissistic personality. The findings enlighten us to view authoritarian FP dialectically. These two parallel mediating models are not affected by culture, indicating the applicability of DFPM in other societies. Future studies are encouraged to involve participants from more divergent countries and cultural backgrounds.

Technical Efficiency Determinants of Islamic Banks: How Do Countries Differ

Purpose: This paper analyzes the determinants of technical efficiency of Islamic banks in eight of the Islamic countries. These include Brunei Darussalam, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Malaysia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Design/Methodology/Approach: A quarterly panel data on eight Islamic countries’ banks during the period of 2014 to 2019 is used for the analysis. Findings: The overall outcomes of the study indicate that banks in KSA, UAE, and Malaysia are found to be more efficient than their counterparts in other five countries in the sample. Banks from KSA and UAE have the same average technical efficiency scores while banks in Malaysia and Jordan tend to share similar average technical efficiency scores. Findings of the study reveal that variables like bank size, return on equity, and liquid asset ratio have a positive and significant bearing while factors like GDP growth rate, Z-score, and capital adequacy ratio have a negative and significant impact on technical efficiency of Islamic banks. Implications/Originality/Value: The study puts forward some useful policy implications both for managers of banks and policymakers of countries in the sample.

Exploring the relationships between Islam, some personal values, environmental concern, and electric vehicle purchase intention: the case of Saudi Arabia

Purpose Today, the global market for “clean” vehicles is generating double-digit growth annually. However, in most emerging or Islamic countries, sales of such cars remain at a very low level and green consumption patterns are poorly explored. This paper aims to expand the understanding of factors influencing attitudes and behaviors toward electric vehicle in an emerging Islamic country, namely, Saudi Arabia. It investigates whether the willingness of Saudis to purchase electric vehicles depends on religious and ethical considerations. The effects of environmental concern, Islamic and some personal values (self-transcendence and conservation) on green vehicle purchase intention were considered. Design/methodology/approach The literature review is predominantly of studies on emerging or Islamic countries. A convenience sampling method was used, and a total of 354 valid questionnaires were collected. An exploratory factor analysis under the principal component analysis was used to reveal the factor structure underlying the items in the questionnaire. A confirmatory factor analysis on Lisrel helped to assess the validity of the measurement models. The causal relationships of the research framework were measured using simultaneous equation modeling. Findings The results suggest that Islamic Values (IsV) and Conservation (Cv) values do not influence environmental concern (EC) or Electric Vehicle Purchase Intention (EVPI). On the contrary, self-transcendence values (ST) exerted a significant influence on EVPI and the mediation of EC in this relationship was supported. Research limitations/implications The theoretical framework provides a better understanding of how customers evaluate electric vehicles and the factors underlying their attitudes and behaviors toward such products in an Islamic and emerging market. The results suggest that consumers’ intentions to purchase electric vehicles are not driven by Islam or conservation values (conformity, tradition and security). Nevertheless, subjects for whom self-transcendence is an important value that guides their lives showed a higher willingness to purchase electric vehicles. This research also confirmed that EC is predictive of EVPI. Practical implications Marketers should focus on values of self-transcendence, which are benevolence and universalism, to influence electric vehicle purchase intention in Saudi Arabia. Neither Islamic nor conservation values are useful in this regard. However, managers and authorities are advised to establish a link between Islam and environmental awareness and behavior. Marketing communication and religious preachers should point out the commandments of Islam which stand for the preservation of nature. The authors concluded that much more should be done on the part of scholars to obtain a satisfactory understanding of green behavior in the Islamic world. Although green vehicles are rarely used there, these markets hold great sales potential for such products. Originality/value Little is known about consumer attitudes and behavior toward green products in Islamic countries. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first study to investigate whether Islamic and some personal values are related to environmental concern and electric vehicle purchase intention. The results showed that EC and EVPI depend on ST. The causal model indices for IsV and Cv were not significant.
