Published: December 2020

Improvement of the physical and mechanical properties of cement composites should be accompanied by the disposal of industrial waste of various generation. Therefore, the paper proposes the principles of controlling the strength properties of concrete, which consist in the complex effect of wollastonite obtained from boron production waste on the processes of structure formation of the cement matrix. When this introduced in an amount of 2-8 wt. % wollastonite has a dual function as a mineral filler and a reinforcing fiber. It has been proven that in the presence of wollastonite, the concrete mix becomes lighter without reducing its physical and mechanical properties. It was revealed that the early strength for all the developed compositions with the addition of wollastonite increases due to the acceleration of hydration processes. Calcium silicate, which is wollastonite CaSiO3, has a close chemical composition with cement clinker, especially with Ca2SiO4 belite and Ca3SiO5 alite. This leads to the formation of a chemically homogeneous and, as a result, hardened microstructure. Elongated wollastonite fibers with good adhesion to the cement stone provide effective micro-reinforcement of the concrete composite. Using the results will lead to the possibility of designing high-strength concretes, including for special structures
PARADIGM AND GRAPHICAL TOOLS OF THE FUNCTIONAL APPROACH
Authors: Ivanova O. , Gorozhankin Valentin
Published: December 2020

The article examines industrial methods – harmonization of products and typing of objects of design production. Industrialization of design passed the stages of specialization of institutes and implementation of standard projects. The concept of "architectural type", which became the basis of the regulatory framework, was associated with the principles of engineering design with a functional approach. The concept of" function " is interpreted by the authors as a spatial relationship between the procedures of material processing and the places of its effective transformations or services. In architectural design, the recipient of the service is represented by the material subject to spatial organization in accordance with the technology of the process, or observing the spatial placement of the material and the process of its movement. The functional approach in design is aimed at localization of processes – consolidation of zones and reduction of communications. Accordingly, zoning schemes, functional media locations, and link configurations represent the graphical language of the limited content of the functional approach.
FROM CANON TO DESIGN BY THE EXAMPLE OF JAPANESE INTERIOR
Authors: Tret'yakova M.
Published: December 2020

In accordance with V. F. Sidorenko, ‘Canon-culture’ is ‘negative definition of Design’, because the Design always produces new forms and breaks the Canon. However the fact that the Design is always strives for new forms as a rule becomes the cause of superficial understanding of own traditional culture among designers. In turn it leads to loss of cultural identity what we can see in design in our country.

The purpose of the article is to trace ‘positive’ connection between the Design and the Canon by the example of Japanese interior. We believe that it will help us to find deeper cultural meanings for design objects.

At first we research the fundamental principle of Japanese art called ‘Shin – Gyo – So’. It is remarkable that this principle let transform the Canon within the Canon. Then we research the method called honka-dori, which, on the one hand, is rooted in traditional culture, in poetry, but, on the other hand, in the 20th century it was reconsidered and transferred in contemporary ‘traditional’ interior.

After all we research design method of interpretation of the Canon. We called it the method of ‘internal of similarity’, because it let follow traditional aesthetics without of ‘cites’ of traditional forms. We suggest that it is this method which gives us ‘positive’ connection between the Design and the Canon. Although this method brings partial loss of cultural meanings, by the example of Japan we can conclude that the principle of ‘Shin – Gyo – So’ as well as the method of honka-dori can be used in contemporary design.

The article discusses a system widely implemented in the designing of equipment for the NX construction industry. Along with this system, a modern automation tool was used. The most common and most used products are Siemens products: PLM-system "Teamcenter". The functionality of this configuration is huge, it includes such applications a "Manager of Structure", "Classifier", "Advanced Studio", "Ray Tracing Studio", etc. For example, it is possible to create a single product structure with various configurations, machine components and assemblies, using the "Structure Manager". This structure allows to simplify the introduction of changes and the development of a digital electronic model. For the final visualization and rendering, the NX system provides a certain set of tools, which includes "Extended Studio" and "Ray Tracing Studio". "Advanced Studio" is an application allowing to get high-quality image, including the effects of materials, textures, lighting, shadows and reflections for the product in the CAD/CAM/CAE NX system. "Ray Tracing Studio" allows to get the rendering of the future product. In the Ray Tracing Studio editor, it is possible to configure such parameters as dynamic tracing setting, real-time ray tracing setting, display static high-quality tracing setting, and general display settings. Creation of a product in this system can be considered by the example of a digital electronic model of a roller support.

Published: December 2020

El objetivo del presente trabajo es examinar la movilidad cotidiana relacionada con el trabajo en la Zona Metropolitana de Monterrey (ZMM) un espacio geográfico conformado por 18 municipios, utilizando como fuente primaria de información los microdatos de la Encuesta Intercensal realizada en el año 2015 por el Instituto Nacional de Geografía y Estadística (INEGI) y las preguntas del módulo de movilidad cotidiana: tiempo de viaje y principal medio de transporte. Además, se realizan diferenciaciones entre la población trabajadora según la ubicación del municipio de residencia y el municipio de trabajo. Los resultados muestran una caótica movilidad cotidiana en la ZMM, vivir en el mismo municipio donde se trabaja marca una gran diferencia al invertir menos tiempo en el traslado diario. El automóvil juega un papel destacado en la movilidad y es un elemento de desigualdad social.

Danza, política y subversión utópica: "La Consagración de la primavera" de Oscar Aráiz y Fedra de Ana Itelman (1968-1970)
Authors: Vallejos Juan Ignacio
Published: December 2020

A través de un estudio de los intentos de censura de las obras de danza contemporánea Consagración de la Primavera de Oscar Aráiz y Fedra de Ana Itelman, intentaremos analizar el lugar que ocuparon estas prácticas artísticas en el contexto de contestación social generalizada característico de fines de la década de 1960s en Argentina. Se tratará de analizar su potencialidad crítica a partir de la figura de una subversión utópica asociada a una disputa por la sexualidad, por la recuperación del cuerpo, y por la construcción de subjetividad frente al poder dictatorial. En última medida, el trabajo buscará reflexionar acerca de la politicidad de las obras de danza, es decir, de su capacidad de intervención política en un contexto histórico específico, señalando al mismo tiempo la diferencia entre arte militante y arte político.

Published: December 2020

The knowledge of identifiable differences in the metabolism and macromolecular structure between infective agents and their host can be exploited in rational drug design. Ribokinase, an enzyme that plays an important role in the phosphorylation of several metabolites is one of such that can be exploited. This study was therefore aimed at structurally modelling ribokinase from Salmonella Typhi, the causative agent of typhoid fever, with several known multi-drug resistant strains. NCBI BLASTp was carried out against Protein Data Bank (PDB) to run a similarity search. Multiple sequence alignment between the query sequence and the templates was carried out using clustal omega and MEGA6.0 software. The amino acid sequence was submitted to modelling servers. The predicted models from the servers were evaluated with RAMPAGE and superimposed in the template using PyMOL. Model with highest Ramachandran plot score was further validated. BLASTp result showed low identity of (41%) with pyridoxal kinase from Trypanosoma brucei in PDB database. Conserved sequence motifs were confirmed. Template 4X8F was chosen based on its high identity, query cover and appearance in the modeling tools. Swiss model showed best Ramachandran plot score (94.9%). ERRAT analysis showed quality factor: 92.9078 and VERIFY3D server showed that 84.43% of the residues have an average score of 3D/ ID score >=0.2. Superimposition confirmed the alignment of the active site residues having aspartic acid as the catalytic residue. This study can serve as a means for rational drug design for the treatment of typhoid fever.
STUDI EKSPERIMEN KOMBINASI NILAI SLUMP TES DENGAN FAS TETAP PADA PEMBUATAN BETON NORMAL fc’ 25 MPa
Authors: Karim Abdul , Meidiani Srikirana , Ramadhani Ramadhani
Published: December 2020

Pada umumnya dalam bidang konstruksi, beton masih menjadi pilihan yang paling sering digunakan dalam pembuatan struktur. Hal ini dikarenakan beton adalah material yang mudah didapat, mudah dikerjakan dan biaya yang lebih murah. Material pembuat beton terdiri dari pasir, kerikil, batu pecah atau agregat lain yang dicampur menjadi satu dengan satu pasta yang terbuat dari semen dan air. Air memiliki peran yang cukup penting dalam proses pencampuran beton, karena air berfungsi memicu proses kimiawi semen, membasahi agregat dan memberikan kemudahan dalam pengerjaan beton (workability). Workability akan berpengaruh  terhadap kekuatan beton. Oleh karenanya workability yang diinginkan tergantung pada komposisi air dalam campuran beton yang dalam hal ini berkaitan dengan nilai slump. Untuk mendapatkan Workability yang tinggi dibutuhkan nilai slump yang tinggi pula, namun nilai slump yang tinggi terkadang menimbulkan kekhawatiran turunnya kuat tekan beton sehingga mutu beton tidak tercapai. Pengujian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui nilai kuat tekan beton dari semua variasi nilai slump dengan nilai FAS tetap. Sampel beton dibuat di laboratorium Teknologi Bahan Universitas IBA Palembang yaitu kuat tekan beton mutu fc’ 25 MPa. Variasi nilai slump adalah 10-30, 30-60 dan 60-120. Metode Mix Design yang digunakan berdasarkan SNI 03-2834-2000 tentang Tata Cara Pembuatan Beton Normal. Hasil penelitian sesuai masing2 variasi nilai slump diperoleh kuat tekan adalah 17,34 MPa, 25,08 MPa dan 25,82 MPa. Nilai Slump 10-30, 30-60 dan 60-120 tidak memenuhi syarat kuat tekan yang direncanakan. Hal ini dikarenakan nilai Faktor Air Semen yang digunakan dalam perencanaan adalah sama yaitu 0.6. Berdasarkan  hasil pengujian tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa nilai kuat tekan beton dapat dipengaruhi oleh variasi slump dengan penambahan jumlah air, namun pemakaian FAS yang sama pada masing-masing variasi nilai slump menunjukan gejala kuat tekan beton meningkat pada nilai slum tinggi.

Kata kunci: mix design, beton normal, kuat tekan, FAS  dan nilai slump.
Tax Policy and Foreign Direct Investment: A Regime Change Analysis.
Authors: Edo Onome Christopher , Okafor Anthony , Justice Akhigbodemhe Emmanuel
Published: December 2020

Objective – Tax policies play significant role in the direction of foreign direct investments. We investigate the proposition that tax policies enacted by military and democratic regimes differ on the influence the foreign direct investments.
Methodology/Technique – Our hypotheses are tested using the error correction model as we compare the impact of tax policies on flow foreign direct investments in Nigeria between two dispensations: military rule from 1983 to 1999 and democratic rule from 1999 to 2017. Panel data between 1983 and 2017 were obtained from the databases of the World Bank, Central Bank of Nigeria and the Federal Inland Revenue Services. The explanatory variables include company income tax, value added tax, tertiary education tax and customs and exercise duties.
Findings – The study reveals that tax variables during the military regime exerted more explanatory power of 79% compared to the civilian administration of 66% with respect to the impact of corporate taxes on FDI. The effect of company income tax on FDI was more pronounced during the military regime than in the civilian regime. FDI had a higher degree of convergence during the military regime compared to civilian rule, and this is vital for policy assessments and comparison.
Novelty – We bring to light new evidences on the effects of taxes polices on FDI.

Authors: Pangarso Astadi , Astuti Endang Siti , Raharjo Kusdi , Afrianty Tri Wulida
Published: December 2020

Objective – This paper aims to build a new theoretical framework related to organizational effectiveness. Unfortunately, there is no research which builds a theoretical framework of organizational effectiveness influenced by knowledge infrastructure capability, organizational environment, absorptive capacity and innovative ambidexterity.
Methodology/Technique – The theoretical framework is built from the past research of the organizational effectiveness antecedents using literature review method. The theoretical framework in this conceptual paper consists of nine propositions with three novelties: the direct relationship among knowledge infrastructure capability; absorptive capacity; and organizational environment to innovative ambidexterity.
Findings – This conceptual paper only applies structural contingency theory, knowledge-based theory and absorptive capacity theory in constructing relationships among concepts.
Novelty - This theoretical framework can be applied as a basis for the next future empirical research.

ХУДОЖНЯ ЗНАЧИМІСТЬ «ГРАМАТИКИ МУЗИКАЛЬНОЇ» МИКОЛИ ДИЛЕЦЬКОГО
Authors: Кіндратюк Богдан
Published: December 2020

Популяризації дидактичних ідей з історії української педагогіки сприяє систематизація відомостей про музичні інструменти й досвід гри на них, рекомендації для композиторів і виконавців із «Граматики музикальної» (1723) Миколи Дилецького. Рівноправне трактування інструментальної та вокальної музики в Київській митрополії допомогло йому краще пояснювати свої новаторські ідеї, передавати поняття сучасної музичної практики, що сприяло швидшому засвоєнню учнями музично-граматичної премудрости. Такі відомости протегували трактат поважним засобом боротьби з рутиною й дилетантством, новітним зразком педагогіки, джерелом органології та музичної іконографії.
ПРОБЛЕМА СТИЛЬОВОЇ ФОРТЕПІАННОЇ ПАРАДИГМАТИКИ В МИСТЕЦТВОЗНАВЧІЙ І КУЛЬТУРОЗНАВЧІЙ СФЕРАХ СУЧАСНОСТ
Authors: Шевченко Лілія
Published: December 2020

Узагальнено найбільш показові ознаки стильового виявлення культурного світу фортепіанної гри, серед яких бетховеніанство – моцартіанство, що від часів романтизму споріднилися з лістіанством – шопенізмом, але набули у ХХ ст. сенсу, протилежного тому, що означали вони у ХІХ ст. В останньому бетховеніанство-лістіанство було гаслом прогресу у виконавських надбаннях, тоді як моцартіанство й шопенізм являли академічні чи про-академічні засади мислення. Однак у минулому віці саме моцартіанство живить фортепіанний модерн, тоді як бетховеніанство – лістіанство сприймаються як базис академічної фортепіанної позиції. При цьому вказані лінії фортепіанної виразності співіснують в автономно представлених вимірах традиціоналізму й модерну-авангарду, складаючи «співіснування» стильових якостей, які чітко розрізняються за поширенням в академічних колах фортепіанної творчості чи у сфері модерно-авангардних надбань. Такий стильовий розклад зазначається через лінгвістичний термін «диз’юнкції», вказуючи на стильові альтернативи, але не торкаючись принципу їх контакту, взаємодії або відсутності останньої. Даний підхід зумовлений культурним розкладом мистецьких надбань, з яких саме модерністичне моцартіанство фортепіанної гри єднається з «третім рядом» джазової стилістики, більше того, з таперством і музикою дансингу поза художнього значення. В Україні отримує особливі акцентуації моцартіанство О. Скрябіна, послідовники якого представлені лише в Україні й Франції, у грі Е. Гілельса і Г. Нейгауза. А лінії Бетховена-Ліста відверто корегувалися впливом моцартіанського модерну – такою є творчість В. Горовиця, С. Ріхтера та ін.

ЧОЛОВІЧИЙ ТАНЕЦЬ У БАЛЕТНОМУ ТЕАТРІ УКРАЇНИ 50–60-х РОКІВ ХХ СТОЛІТТЯ
Authors: Карандєєва Олена
Published: December 2020

Проаналізовано чоловіче виконавство у балетному театрі України 1950–1960-х рр. – у період переходу від хореодрами до симфонічних   балетних   вистав. Зазначено, що в той період відбувалося оновлення репертуару, зміна балетмейстерських та виконавських поколінь. Актуалізувався високотехнічний, але, водночас, образний, психологічно насичений, поетичний чоловічий танець. Танцівники впевнено почали крокувати до набуття віртуозності у виконанні складно-технічних рухів. З’явилась плеяда справжніх творчих індивідуальностей – майстрів чоловічого балетного виконавства. Одними із найяскравіших представників української школи чоловічого танцю, що працювали в той період у різних оперно-балетних театрах, були були Р. Візиренко-Клявін (Київ), В. Денисенко (Харків), В. Парсєгов (Київ), О. Поспєлов (Донецьк, Львів).

This issue of the American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences is thesecond in a series dedicated to a single theme. Presently our topic focuseson Islamic economics. The reader will find that the five featm articlescover a broad range of economic topics ranging from the role ofgovernment to the spiritual significance of jihad. We find that Islamcompells society to integrate ethics and economics. Indeed, the Muslimfinds that every aspect of life is sacred and that nothing is outside therealm of the Absolute; no aspect of life is profane because everything isattached to God. Consequently, trade-offs between the spiritual and thenonspiritual are out of the question and, therefore, there can be no theoryof choice without the introduction of ethics. The science of neoclassicaleconomics, on the other hand, takes its elements and observations outof their a priori Divine context and reduces the process of choice to aquantitative cornprison of utility, thereby denying the existence of qualitativedifferences requiring ethical choice. We have selected the title“Economics as Applied Ethics” because of the the underlying theme thatargues against this secular reduction of quality to quantity.The first article, “The Role of the Government in the IslamicEconomy” by Muhammad Akram Khan discusses the need for theIslamic government to secure social welfare. Detailing the areas in whichthe government has a duty to act, it goes on to discuss the Islamic justificationof its role in each area. According to Khan the fundamentalShari’ah requirement for government action is maslahah (lit. “benefit” or“interest”). Al-Ghazzali applies this as a legal indicator for securing benefitsor preventing harms that conform to the objective of the Shari’ah,namely, the protection of the five “essential values”-religion, life, intellect,lineage, and property. This Islamic definition of welfare is objectiveand opposes the modem, subjective concept of welfare defined in termsof “utility,” meaning, fulfilling people’s desires. According to this secularexplanation of welfare, something is good because it is desirablerather than being desirable because it is good- the latter constituting theIslamic concept of maslahah. Therefore, the modem conception of utilitycould be defined in terms of a utilitarianism for the nafs al-‘ammarah,not for the well-being of the entire person. Khan argues that it is ...

Since its inception fourteen years ago, AJZSS has built a considerablereputation as an academic Islamic journal. In addition to being a globalforum for intellectual exchange between Muslim academicians from variousdisciplines, AJZSS has contributed to efforts at Islamization ofknowledge and the reorientation of Islamic thought. And while theJournal has made sigmficant strides in reorienting Islamic thought,AJZSS cannot be the sole provider of guidance for the Islamization ofknowledge effort. Certainly, the necessary radical reorientation ofknowledge will only occur with planned coordination with other academicactivities, conferences, seminars, study circles, etc., and with thecontributions of other individuals and communities of scholars from variousparts of the world and academic disciplines.From time to time, the Journal must stress the importance of Islamicepistemology as the framework for its academic efforts. In view of ourever-developing understanding of theoretical principles drawn fromauthentic sources, and also in view of developing issues and challenges,it is important to re-examine this framework to confii that it is indeedappropriate. If the Islamic epistemology is functioning appropriately, itshould define an Islamic methodology for resemh and inquiry in all topicsand issues =levant to the Journal. All research articles should stateits methodology, which should be consistent with our system of knowledge,as well as interpret results within its own framework by using theneeded instruments and procedures for collecting and analyzing relevantdata and evidence.Although the Journal has dealt with these two themes, namely, epistemologyand methodology, they still need to be defined definitively.Muslim scholars and researchers should not just refer to Islamic epistemologyand Islamic methodology as a given or something known andunderstood; mther, they need to delve deep into the very heart of thesematters to provide more in-depth and thought-provoking contributions.We understand that many of our Muslim scholars find themselves underthe pressure of their practical circumstances when choosing theirresearch topics. In the upcoming issues, God willing, the Journal willfacilitate the endeavors of the authors to make their contributions more ...
America in an Arab Mirror
Authors: Hammer Juliane
Published: December 2020

How do Arab travelers view the US? Much has been written about how westerntravelers and scholars have seen and described the Orient, thereby not onlycreating an image but also transforming the reality of it. Looking at this anthologyone is reminded of Said's book Orienta/ism and inspired to ask whether asimilar process takes place in reverse. Not in terms of change but certainly increating an image of the unfamiliar as the other simultaneously admired andrejected.Kamal Abdel-Malek has collected and edited texts of twenty-seven Arab visitorsto the United States. Some came as students, others as accomplished scholars orcurious visitors. Each text is an excerpt of a longer text, usually a book, and allbooks were originally published in Arabic and have not been translated intoEnglish before. Also, as Abdel-Malek points out in his preface, the collectionrepresents most of the travel literature he was able to locate in Arabic and iscompleted by a list of all Arabic sources. Thus, this collection allows the readeraccess to a genre of Arabic literature otherwise not available.The travel accounts are organized in five sections and chronologically by year ofpublication within each section.The ftrst section is titled America in the Eyes of a Nineteenth-Century Amb andcontains one account of an Arab traveler to the US published in I 895. The authorpresents the reader with a comparison of what Arabs and Americans findimportant and how these preferences are diametrically opposed in most cases.In the second section Abdel-Malek has gathered a variety of accounts under thetitle The Making of an Image: America as the Unchanged Other, Ame1ica as theSeductive Female. The most interesting piece of this section is probably that ofSayyid Qutb, who studied in the US between 1948 and 1950 and published hisaccount under the title The America I have seen. Much of what he noted about theUS ln the first half of the 20th century, in my opinion, still holds true today. Qutbconcludes: "All that requires mind power and muscle are where American geniusshines, and all that requires spirit and emotion are where American naivete andprimitiveness become apparent .... All this does not mean that Americans are anation devoid of virtue, or else, what would have enabled them to live? Rather, itmeans that America's virtues are the virtues of production and organization, andnot those of human and social morals." (p. 26f.) ...

Think not of those who are slain in God’s way as Dead. Nay, theylive, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord;Holy Qur’an III:169

The Muslim World and the academic community in the United Stateswere shocked on the nineteenth day of Ramadan (Tuesday, May 27, 1986)when news reached them that Professor Ismail al Faruqi and his belovedwife, Lamya’, were assassinated by an intruder who broke into their homein Wyncote. Pennsylvania. This couple, whose dedication to the Islamicmessage is widely known among scholars and others working in the Muslimcommunity, played an important role in the dissemination of correctknowledge about Islam in the United States.A Palestinian by origin, Professor al Faruqi was born on January 21,1921.He attended elementary and secondary school in his native land of Palestineduring the British Mandate. After obtaining a first degree in Philosophyat the American University in Beirut, he served as the last Palestinian governorof Galilee during 1945-1948. After the creation of Israel, he migratedto the United States where he did graduate studies at Harvard and atIndiana University. His intellectual development later led him to al-Azharand McGill University.During his early years in the United States, Professor al Faruqi engagedin research on the Arab experience. One of his first books dealt with this.In the 1960s when the Muslim student population began to swell significantlyand a Muslim Student Association was formed by some dedicated youngMuslims who wanted to retain their cultural identity in the face of strongWestern cultural influences, Professor a1 Faruqi became one of thecounsellors to these young men and women searching for roots and tryingnot to be seduced from the sirat ul-Mustuqim (the path of righteousness).This involvement with the MSA was destined to be a lifelong engagement.During this period he addressed many MSA gatherings and attended manyseminars organized by the student leadership.As the number of Muslim professionals increased, Professor al-Faruqiand others began to think about Muslim professional organizations. Oneof these groups that received the attention of al Faruqi was the Associationof Muslim Social Scientists, which was founded in 1972. The founderselected al Faruqi as the first president. This organization soon emerged asthe primary intellectual vehicle in the social sciences for those Muslim scholarsand graduate students working in the American universities and colleges whowere committed to developing contemporary intellectual thought within theparadigm of Islam.By the late 1970s, Professor al-Faruqi, who had by this time earned aninternational reputation among young Muslims around the world, beganto work with the MSA and AMSS intellectual leaders on the idea of settingup an Islamic college or university. Thinking along this line led to two importantdevelopments in his life. The first was the founding of the AmericanIslamic College in Chicago which he headed but resigned from just before ...

Ismlil was born in an influential family in 1341 AH/1922 AC in Palestineduring the British Mandate. He received his early education in traditionalIslamic schools and his college education from the American University,Beirut. At age 24, he was appointed as governor of Gallilee-the lastPalestinian, before the Zionist occupation. Forced to migrate, his family tookrefuge in neighboring Lebanon. Having thus experienced this “fall” at thevery onset of what was promising to be a brilliant political career in anotherwise independent Palestine, the refugee in Isma’il tumed toward the higherreaches of modem education in the contemporary West.Ismlil concentrated in philosophy first at Harvard and then at Indiana,where he earned his doctoral degree. He spent four years at Al Azhar inEgypt, followed by two years at the School of Divinity at McGill, and twoyears at the newly established Islamic Research Institute in Islamabad, Pakistan,which gave him ample opportunity to apply his philosophy to religion or,more appropriately, to apply his religion to modem secular philosophy. Thisis what gave “the wounded Palestinian” a new weapon with which to starton a course of an intellectual encounter with the West. His books on OnArabism, The Origins of Zionism in Judaism, and The Christian Ethics camein a succession in the 1960’s. Naturally, as Rahman (1406 AH/1986 AC) pointedout, while involved in this undertaking, he disturbed some and antagonizedothers. What is amazing is that in doing this, the “Arab Warrior” conqueredhimself ...
War and Peace in Islam
Authors: Safi Louay M.
Published: December 2020

Introduction Although the rules and principles pertaining to relations between Islamic and non-Islamic states date back to the early Madinan period, the Islamic classical doctrine of war and peace was developed by Muslim jurists (fuqaha) during the Abbasi era. The tenets of the doctrine can be found either in general law corpora under headings such as jihad, peace treaties, aman, or in certain special studies such as al Kharaj (land tax), al Siyar (biography/history), etc. The work of the Muslim jurists consists mainly of rules and principles concerning the initiation and prosecution of war, rules and principles that have been predicated on a specific perception of the role and objectives of the Islamic state in respect to other states. The purpose of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, the paper attempts to rebut the propositions of the classical doctrine of jihad, showing that these propositions were predicated on a set of legal rulings (ahkam shar'iyyah) pertaining to specific questions which arose under particular historical conditions, namely, the armed struggle between the Islamic state during the Abbasi era, and the various European dynasties. The paper further attempts to demonstrate that classical jurists did not intend to develop a holistic theory with universal claims. The paper aspires, on the other hand, to introduce a more comprehensive perception of war and peace which takes into account the Qur'anic and Prophetic statements in their totality. This new perception is then used to establish the fundamental objectives of war as well as the basic conditions of peace. To address the forgoing concerns, two approaches have been used. One is legalistic, deductively based on the principles of Islamic jurisprudence (usul al fiqh), comparable to that used by classical jurists. The other approach is historical, inductively concerned with examining the chronology of the ...
Islam in Nigeria
Authors: Warren Dennis Michael
Published: December 2020

Islam in Nigeria is the product of A. R. I. Doi's twenty years of research on the spread and development of Islam in Nigeria. Professor Doi, currently the director of the Centre for Islamic Legal Studies at Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, has also taught at the University of Nigeria at Nsukka and the University of lfe. His lengthy tenure in the different major geographical zones of Nigeria is reflected in the book. The twenty-one chapters begin with a general introductory overview of the spread of Islam in West Africa. Part I is devoted to the impact of Islam in the Northern States of Nigeria, Part II deals with the more recent spread of Islam into the Southern Nigerian States and Part III explicates a wide variety of issues germane to the understanding of Islam at the national level. The book is comprehensive, thoroughly researched, and is based on analyses of secondary sources as well as primary field research conducted in all parts of Nigeria. The book has nine maps, seventy-three photographs, detailed notes at the end of each chapter, a bibliography and an index. Professor Doi traces the spread of Islam through North Africa into the Ancient Empires of Ghana, Mali and Songhai. As Islam moved into the Northern part of Nigeria, it had a dramatic impact on the seven Hausa states and on the Fulani peoples who carried out the jihad under Shehu Utham Dan Fodio and the Fulani Sultans of Sokoto. A link was established between the Umawz Arabs and the Kanem-Bornu State. Islam also influenced the Nupe and Ebirra peoples. With the arrival of the Royal Niger Company, British Imperialism and Christian missions began to move into Northern Nigeria about 1302 AH/1885 AC. The impact of colonialism and Christianity upon Islam in Northern Nigeria is analyzed by Dr. Doi. Of particular interest is the analysis of syncretism between Islam and the indigenous cultures and religions of Northern Nigeria. The Boori Cult and the belief in al-Jinni are described. The life cycle of the Hausa-Fulani Muslims includes descriptions of the ceremonies conducted at childbirth, the naming of a new child, engagement, marriage, divorce, and death. Non-Islamic beliefs which continue to persist among Muslims in Northern Nigeria are identified ...

During the closing session, the recommendationsprepared by the drafting committee were discussed.First: Project ObjectivesThe International Institute of Islamic Thought took the responsibilityfor the task of the Islamization of knowledge. The natural approach wouldbe to make the two main sources of Islamic knowledge-the Qur’an and theSunnah-accessible to research scholars in the humanities and social sciences.This project aims - during this stage-at analyzing the contents of the Qur‘anicverses to classify them according to the different branches of knowledge,and to arrange them under suitable headings, in order to make it easy forresearch scholars to find the verses they want in the fields of the humanitiesand social sciences.Second: Indices and ConcordancesParticipants in the seminar exchanged consultations regarding whetherit is suitable to compile a list of topics (index) first, then proceed with theclassification process accordingly, or should the classification be completedfirst on the basis of topics to be found, followed by the cornpilafion of an index.After completing the discussion, it was decided to follow both approachessimultaneously as indicated below: ...
