Book Description
Islam is a practical religion dealing with the warring traits of human nature and bending them to the Straight Path. It has discarded the law of the jungle, and the motto of might is right. The Islamic concept of justice is positive. It does not stop at the negation of the wrong but goes forward to promote the right so that there remains no incompatibility between the so-called justice and what is really just and equitable. The concept of Islamic justice does not permit prejudice against anyone. The Quranic Injunction is: "...and let not the hatred of any people seduce you that ye deal not justly...." [TMQ Surah Maidah: 8] Under Islam, justice is the sum total of life. To do injustice is sinful. To suffer injustice calls for positive remedial action on the part of Muslims. Such action might mean even the supreme sacrifice of one's life for the sake of justice. This book is an English rendering of a popular Arabic book entitled Adab Al Qadi, Written by the renowned Muslim Jurist Imam Khassaf. In this book, the learned author has favored us with the basic principle of the Islamic judicial system and that of the Judiciary in the light of the Holy Quran and the Sunnah. The Learned Translator of this book Justice Dr.Muneer Ahmad Mughal, was himself a Judge of the Lahore High Court, Lahore. He has perfect hold on the subject and over both the languages.

The Integrity of the Judge
Author: Mr Jonathan Soeharno
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1409496597
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
There is no consensus among legal scholars on the meaning of judicial integrity, nor has legal scholarship yet seen a well-articulated discussion about the normative concept of judicial integrity. This book makes an analysis of the discourses on judicial integrity in judiciaries in both established and developing democracies. In the former, the rule of law is well-developed and trust in the judges is high, yet new demands for accountability emerge. In the latter, traditional integrity problems such as fraud and corruption take centre stage. The author argues that integrity must be understood both as professional virtue -discussed here through the lens of virtue ethical theory – and as the safeguarding of public trust, as understood through institutional theory. The Integrity of the Judge is a significant new work for legal theorists and philosophers, as well as scholars of legal and judicial ethics.

Land, Law and Islam
Author: Hilary Lim
Publisher: Zed Books Ltd.
ISBN: 1848137206
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
In this pioneering work Siraj Sait and Hilary Lim address Islamic property and land rights, drawing on a range of socio-historical, classical and contemporary resources. They address the significance of Islamic theories of property and Islamic land tenure regimes on the 'webs of tenure' prevalent in the Muslim societies. They consider the possibility of using Islamic legal and human rights systems for the development of inclusive, pro-poor approaches to land rights. They also focus on Muslim women's rights to property and inheritance systems. Engaging with institutions such as the Islamic endowment (waqf) and principles of Islamic microfinance, they test the workability of 'authentic' Islamic proposals. Located in human rights as well as Islamic debates, this study offers a well researched and constructive appraisal of property and land rights in the Muslim world.

Forensic Psychiatry in Islamic Jurisprudence
Author: Kutaiba S. Chaleby
Publisher: International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT)
ISBN: 1565642767
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
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 therefore not surprising that one of the most important conclusions drawn by the study is that ability of Islamic jurisprudence to cover almost every issue raised in the field of forensic psychiatry. The range of interpretations encompassing these issues is so wide that a match for many aspects of different secular laws can be found in at least one of the four schools of thought. This gives contemporary psychiatry in any Islamic country a broad spectrum of tools to work with, enabling the utilization of options specific to particular societal and cultural norms. This book will appeal to both the general as well as the academic reader drawing important and wide-ranging conclusions relevant for many individuals and societies in the Islamic world.

Sharia Tribunals, Rabbinical Courts, and Christian Panels

Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190640286
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
This book explores the rise of private arbitration in American religious communities. It examines why religious communities are turning to private arbitration, why American law is agreeable to such arbitration, and further focuses on the proper procedural, jurisdictional, and contractual limits of private arbitration. The book argues that such arbitration not only benefits the religious community itself, but also having various different faith-based arbitrations is beneficial for any vibrant pluralistic democracy inhabited by diverse faith groups.
