The application of Al-Uqubat in the contemporary society: a re-examination using the maqasid Al-Shari'ah based schemes
(Serials Publications Frequency, 2011-06) Oloso, K. K.; Uthman, I. O.
This paper focuses on the complexity of the implementation of the Islamic criminal law with particular reference to the feminist view that the Islamic law is “the cornerstone of the system of male privilege set up in Islam” and that the preservation of this system of Islamic law in most Muslim countries signals the existence of anti-human rights practices that uphold not only oppression and domination of women but also of non-Muslims and even ordinary Muslims. Nevertheless, there still appears to be a serious misinterpretation of the Islamic penal code. This misinterpretation is due to the failure of Muslim scholars over the years to question the application of the Islamic penal law system in many Muslim countries, including Nigeria in line with the maqasid al-shari‘ah (the ultimate objectives of the Islamic law). This paper will ground itself upon maqasid al-shari‘ah in order to differentiate between the authentic scope and application of the Islamic criminal law and what is currently operational in the Muslim world.
Contribution of Islamic scholars to sustainable human and environmental development: Islam hadhari and future development of muslim countries
(2011) Uthman, I. O.; Abbass, L. O.; Oloso, K. K.
Today, despite the global scientific and technological advancement with developed and even a few developing countries including Muslim countries making significant strides in shaping contemporary civilisation and the state of the world, yet they have failed to achieve true development and progress on how to sustain human and other creatures in a wholesome manner. This is because while these countries are struggling for scientific and technological development in order for humans to live a decent and comfortable life, they have not fully comprehended the underlying indexes that formed the basis of sustainable development. This paper therefore examines the teachings of Islam on the underlying indexes that formed the basis of sustainable development. It used the maqasid approach to show that in Islam development and progress are useful and desirable only when they improve upon and sustain not only human comfort and standards of living but also the essentials to achieving higher and enhanced quality of life for not only humans but also the environment and all the creatures cohabiting in it. It finally reveals how the maqasid approach in Islam sets out to achieve this real development.
