Modern Slavery: A Maqasidi Approach Towards Emancipation
On the issue of slavery, contemporary Islamic scholars tend to be abolitionists, asserting that Islamic law may not have explicitly prohibited enslavement but aspires to gradually emancipate slaves. Meanwhile, the current international law discourse has shifted its focus to ‘modern slavery’. Numerous studies have appeared to very easily presume that modern slavery falls within the Islamic notion of slavery, then, based on that, claiming that the …
Death Penalty and Riddah: A Critical Evaluation Towards the Claim of a Juristic Ijmā‘
Contemporary academics and ‘ulama debate back and forth regarding whether Islam really supports the execution of those who have apostatised away from Islam (i.e. committed riddah). There is already numerous research dedicated to the interpretation of verses of the Qur’an and aḥadīth relevant to riddah, and what legal rulings can be derived from them. What often alludes contemporary academics is what some ‘ulama call the “third primary source of I…
The Role of Masyumi's Book "Djihad dan Qitaal" in Indonesia's Post-Independence War Efforts: A Historical and Legal Appraisal of Islamic Jus in Bello
During the post-Independence wars in Indonesia, Masyumi as the largest Islamic political party played a significant role in encouraging the Muslims to fight against the Kingdom of the Netherlands who wanted to reclaim Indonesia. Among Masyumi’s contribution to this effort was the publication of a book entitled “Djihad dan Qitaal” written by KH E. Abdoerrahman. This book serves as an Islamic guide for jihad fi sabilillah by outlining at least thre…
Article Review: Peringkat Pemikiran Imam Al-Ash’ari dalam Akidah by Muhammad Rashidi Wahab dan Syed Hadzrullathfi Syed Omar
This article by Wahab and Hadzrullathfi (2013) is part of a long-standing debate in the discourse of ‘ulama of ahl al-sunnah wa al-jama‘ah, especially between the Ash‘ariyyah and Athariyyah. While the debate is very old, but the discourse is always fresh and this particular topic (i.e. the stages of Imam Al-Ash‘ari’s creed of ‘aqidah) is among the underappreciated topics. The authors explained that this article is intended to refute the Salafis/W…
The Role of Fiqh al-Siyar in International Law-Making: Escaping the Lethargy
International law has developed since its pre-20th century consent-based positivistic framework to ‘international law-making’ where the role of state sovereignty is seen to have eroded. This development, however, still reproduces its pre-20th century colonialist features against non-European (including Islamic) legal thought, pushing them to the peripheries of relevance. Recently, countering that, stronger voices have demanded international law t…
The United Nation’s ‘Beirut Declaration and Its 18 Commitments on Faith for Rights’: A Critique From an Islamic Perspective
In March 2017, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN OHCHR) launched a “Faith for Rights” initiative. This initiative aims to gather the adherents of various religions around the world and show that they support human rights as part of their religion. This Faith for Rights initiative hosted a workshop in Beirut, which resulted in a document titled “the Beirut Declaration and the 18 Commitments on Faith for Rights…
Lashing in Qanun Aceh and the Convention Against Torture: A Critical Appraisal
While considered archaic to some, the Islamic Sharia applies lashing as punishment for a number of penal offences. Aceh is a special province in Indonesia with the privilege to apply some level of Islamic Sharia. Among them is to apply lashing as punishment for crimes such as fornication, gambling, consuming alcoholic beverages, and many others. Some have criticized this punishment as a violation of the prohibition against torture and cruel treat…
The Western Universalism v. Cultural Relativism Debate on Human Rights and Islam: An ‘Aqīdah-Based Approach
The human rights discourse of (Western) universalism versus cultural relativism in international law becomes interesting when Islam is put into the equation. Scholars incline to either side of the debate while trying to have something in between to bridge the differences. This article uses a literature doctrinal method and does not use the 'third-person view' used by most scholars. Rather, this article uses an 'aqdah approach to analyze the chall…
The Urgency to Incorporate the Islamic Concept of Rights into the International Human Rights Law Course in Indonesian Law Schools
The discourse between International Human Rights Law (IHRL) and Islam has been a longstanding one. However, not all IHRL courses in Indonesia include Islamic human rights as one of the taught chapters. This normative research explores the urgency to include Islamic human rights in the IHRL curriculum, and finds that it is indeed urgent to do so. There are two reasons found to include Islamic human rights in IHRL. First, as a counter towards the E…
