The International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT) is a private non-profit, academic, and cultural organization concerned with issues of Islamic thought. The Institute was founded in 1981 and is headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, USA with branch offices in several major capitals throughout the world. The Institute is dedicated to promoting research, producing publications and organizing conferences related to Islamic thought and contemporary social sciences. The IIIT seeks to integrate contemporary scientific methods and knowledge within an Islamic framework through ijtihad in order to overcome the intellectual and cultural crisis in which the Muslim world is mired and thereby to reform and revitalize Islamic thought. The Institute maintains that the tools, categories, concepts and modes of analysis of secular thought has caused a discontinuity between the cultural and social reality of Muslims, and inevitably, a total inability to acknowledge the overriding principles and virtues of Islam itself. The Institute has become a forum through which Muslim scholars have rekindled an ongoing debate on Islamic intellectualism and thought through research, publications, conferencing and networking. IIIT has published over 400 titles primarily in Arabic and English, as well as in major languages such as French, Turkish, Chinese, Urdu, Farsi, Malay and others. The Institute also publishes two quarterly refereed academic journals: - American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences (AJISS) – English - Islamiyyat al-Ma’rifah - Arabic HEAD OFFICE: P.O.

To restore the intimate contact between Muslims and the Qur’an scholars developed the study of the objectives of Islam. The Shari¢ah is marked by a universal wisdom whereby every legal ruling has a function which it performs, an aim which it realises, an intention which it seeks to fulfil and all of this in order to realise benefit to human beings or to ward off harm or corruption.

It also tackles complex theoretical questions on the role of maqasid in ijtihad, juristic theorization (u|‰l), and the Islamization of the human, social, and physical sciences.

However, many ‘Islamic rulings’ (fat¥w¥) issued today effectively replace justice with injustice, mercy with cruelty, wisdom with nonsense, and common good with mischief. This book argues that such rulings do not belong to the Islamic law, even if they were claimed to be so according to some interpretation. In this pathbreaking study, Jasser Auda presents a systems approach to the philosophy and juridical theory of Islamic law based on its purposes (maq¥|id).

Generally the Shari¢ah is predicated on the benefits of the individual and that of the community, and its laws are designed so as to protect these benefits and facilitate improvement and perfection of the conditions of human life on earth. This easy to read guide gives a birds eye view of the subject, simplifying its main principles to help readers understand the subject of maq¥|id al-shari¢ah and how it explains the ‘wisdoms behind rulings.’ Paperback: (ISBN: 978-1-56564-442-7) – Price: £4.00 - $5.95 MAQASID AL-SHARIAH A BEGINNER’S GUIDE by Jasser Auda o c c as i o n a l pa p e rs s e r i e s 1 4 MAQ®ßID AL-SHAR¬¢AH A BEGINNER’S GUIDE jasser auda • 4 Current applications (or rather, misapplications) of Islamic law are reductionist rather than holistic, literal rather than moral, onedimensional rather than multidimensional, binary rather than multi-valued, deconstructionist rather than reconstructionist, and causal rather than teleological. There is lack of consideration and functionality of the over-all purposes and underlying principles of the Islamic law as a whole. Further, exaggerated claims of ‘rational certainty’ (or else, ‘irrationality’) and ‘consensus of the infallible’ (or else, ‘historicity of the scripts’) add to lack of spirituality, intolerance, violent ideologies, suppressed freedoms, and authoritarianism.

All of these address the raison d’etre of the Shari¢ah which, as recognized by almost all the jurists, is to serve the interests of all human beings and to save them from harm. In this paper Dr. Chapra explores the Islamic vision of development in relation to the maq¥|id al-shari¢ah arguing that Islam has emphasized all the ingredients of human well-being, including the human self, faith, intellect, posterity as well as wealth, for society to flourish.

Itself a creation of influences from within and without, al-u|‰l, often called “the philosophy of Islam,” invites both reason and revelation to work for the harmony and well-being of human society.

Until now the bulk of the literature about the veil has been written by outsiders who do not themselves veil. This literature often assumes a condescending tone about veiled women, assuming that they are making uninformed choices about veiling that makes them subservient to a patriarchal culture and religion. Rethinking Muslim Women and the Veil offers an alternative viewpoint, based on the thoughts and experiences of Muslim women themselves.

Chaleby FORENSIC PSYCHIATRY in Islamic Jurisprudence . This is the first book in Forensic Psychiatry that focuses on the application of psychiatry to legal issues connected with Islamic jurisprudence. Holding a unique position amongst the world’s religions in its containment of every aspect of human existence, it is openly natural for Islam to govern both the spiritual and legislative aspects of life. It is not surprising that one of the most important conclusions drawn by the study is the ability of Islamic jurisprudence to cover almost every issue raised in the field of forensic psychiatry. the international institute of islamic thought Paperback: (ISBN: 1-56564-276-7) – Price: £8.95 - $14.95 Hardback: (ISBN: 1-56564-277-5) – Price: £19.95 - $24.95 11 PEACE AND THE LIMITS OF WAR P E A C E A N D T H E L I M I T S O F WA R Tr anscending the Classical Conception of Jihad by Louay M.

He critically examines the views of classical and modern Islamic scholars in light of the original intent of the Shari¢ah. While his views on this subject were articulated as early as 1988, his analysis continues to provide a balanced understanding of the most misunderstood concepts of Islam. Louay M.

Deina Abdelkader, in this seminal work argues that questions of social justice are indelibly tied to the phenomenon of contemporary Islamic resurgence as the quest for social justice is in fact motivated by the Shari¢ah – hence an integral part of Islamic life and weltanshauung.

To a great extent, the book is an exposition of the higher principles and purposes of the Shari¢ah which provide Muslims with perspectives far vaster than those afforded by pedantic debate over points of law and procedure, or fine distinctions between conflicting theological arguments.
