Reference Material: Code of Scholars

[Imtiaz]

Asalaamu Alaikum,

InshaAllah I will post what I have gathered as a personal source as well as on these forums.

I hope that they will return this section on the AlMaghrib website. I implore others who have taken this class to likewise post what was beneficial or suggested by the instructor.


Some of these books are repeats of those mentioned in the Code Evolved thread. However some are new.

Wa Alaikum Assalam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatu

"Fiqh Made Easy" by Dr. Saalih Al-Sadlaan, hafidhahullah, was mentioned in an AlMaghrib teleconference quite a while back.

[tawheed79]

Wa 'alaykum salam,

1) For those people who attended the "Code Evolved Seminar", there was a wonderful section on the etiquettes of disagreement, in the professional notes...I think it would be beneficial for us to have it posted somewhere as a reminder...
In addition the Sheik mentioned the book entitled
"The Ethics of Disagreement in Islam" by Dr. Taha Jabir Alwani

2) FYI:
The topic of Al-Qawaa'ed Al-Fiqhiyyah (Maxims) and Maqasid Ash-Sharia were
discussed on Saturday...
On islamicbookstore-dot-com, there some books published by IIIT,
International Institute of Islamic Thought (in english). Dr. Taha Alwani was the former head of IIIT.

i) Maqasid al-Shariah as Philosophy of Islamic Law : A Systems Approach by Jasser Auda
ii) Towards Realization of the Higher Intents of Islamic Law : A Functional Approach of Maqasid al-Shari'ah by Gamal Eldin Attia
iii) Imam Shatibi's Theory of the Higher Objectives and Intents of Islamic Law by Imam ash-Shatibi, translated by Ahmed al-Raysuni
etc..

4) an article that may be beneficial is one entitled "Living Islam with a Purpose" by Dr. Umar Abd'allah, found on nawawi(dot)org, in the reading room section.

May Allah (Swt) help us attain the knowledge that will aid us in the Hereafter.
Salam

SEE ATTACHED :

Living Islam With Purpose by
by Umar Faruq Abd-Allah, Ph.D.
A Nawawi Foundation Paper

addressed the necessity of establishing an authentic indigenous Muslim cultural presence in America. The earlier Nawawi Foundation paper Islam and the Cultural Imperative Living Islam with Purpose complements that paper by offering an operational framework for accomplishing the task. This framework consists of “five operational principles,” which are discussed at length and illustrated with examples:

• Trusting reason
• Respecting dissent
• Stressing societal obligation
• Setting priorities
• Embracing maxims

These five principles are central to the Islamic tradition and embody the practical wisdom and consummate sensibility of the Prophetic teaching. The paper emphasizes the need for American Muslims as a whole to become directly involved in their self-definition and the construction of their future as individuals and communities. This task cannot be left to others or to chance; the five operational principles provide an invaluable resource for determining the way forward. Living Islam with Purpose focuses on the American Muslim community but is relevant to Muslims everywhere, especially those in the West.
