Understanding Politics in Islam - Fiqh al Siyasah
2008-03-21 08:43:00 Adapted and rearranged from the book Fiqh al-Dawlah written by Professor Yusuf al Qaradawi.1. What is the aim of politics in Islam?According to Al-Mawardi from his book Al-Ahkam Al-Sultaniyyah, it is hirasatud din wa siasatud dunya - to uphold the religion and administer the world. Politics is not munkar - is not a depravity - real politics is noble virtuous because it administers the affairs of all creatures, bringing man closer to good and away from fasad - evil.

N. America Fiqh Council Denounces "Terrorism"
2007-11-30 23:53:00 Problem is what exactly do they define as "terrorism". Do they consider the attacks on the Pentagon on 9/11 terrorism? Will they denounce all forms of jihad warfare? Will they denounce the idea of the United States Constitution being replaced by Sharia law? So many people in the west will look at this and say "see they denounce terrorism!". Problem is what do they consider terrorism? During a joint appearance by Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders at the National Press Club on Friday, a national campaign to unite all Americans against terrorists was launched, highlighted by the proclamation of a fatwa by the Fiqh Council of North America.Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi, chairman of the council, read the fatwa to a packed house gathered for a press club luncheon.The fatwa states that all acts of terrorism are forbidden in Islam; it is forbidden for a Muslim to cooperate or associate with any individual or group that is involved in any act of terrorism or violence; and it is the duty of Musl...
