Abstract

Sri Lanka's vibrant diversity, encompassing a wealth of ethnicities and religions, is tragically fractured by the ongoing conflict between the dominant Sinhala Buddhist majority and the marginalized Muslim minority. This study traces the origins of the conflict between Sri Lanka's dominant Sinhala Buddhist majority and the marginalized Muslim minority back to the colonial legacy that imposed a dichotomous societal structure.  Employing a qualitative approach with the Self and the Other framework, this research utilizes the iceberg model to delve deeper into the underlying causes of conflict. The research reveals that the conflict between Sinhalese Buddhists and the Muslim community arises from an ambiguous sense of self-identity, which is defined by contrasting with the Other. Sinhala Buddhists perceive the growing Muslim community as a threat to the indigenous culture and religion, as reflected in Sinhala culture. This perception is shaped by mental models constructed since the colonial period, during which ethnic and religious classifications were implanted by colonizers as the basis for political rights. The resulting classification fostered a sense of nationalism among the Sinhala Buddhists, fueling resistance against colonial rule. However, this classification also perpetuated a pattern of oppression towards minority groups, viewing them through the same lens as the colonizers viewed the indigenous population, thus perpetuating cycles of conflict and marginalization.

Abstract

The concept of equality has been a rhetoric of increasing importance globally today. This concept teaches that men and women are equal in all aspects without distinction. The Islamic teaching totally reject this concept. Therefore, the main feminist movement claims that Islam is a anti-religion to equality. The equality concept of Islam is quite different from the Western perspective. Hence, this study focuses on the ‘ulamā’s view on some important aspects related to equity, especially the nature of different gender and different responsibilities, divorce rights, polygamy, testimony, and inheritable rights based on narrative review. It employs a qualitative approach, where the relevant document is based on primary and secondary sources such as books, journals and website articles and videos. The data collected in this regard were analyzed using the content analyzing method. The findings show that the modern and contemporary ‘ulamā’s opinion aligns with Islam’s principle of equity, emphasizing the reality and justice behind the concept of equity. Through the understanding and practice of Islamic doctrine can establish a fair equality in the world.

Abstract

The almighty Allah (SWT) has created all living beings, humans, birds, animals and insects.  He is who strongly asks people to treat animals with compassion and not to abuse them which are worthy of consideration and respect. In Sri Lanka, varying concepts are followed among different communities: Buddhists and Hindus consider slaughtering quadrupeds as a cruel act. Meanwhile, Muslims consider the similar act as a divine obligation (Qurbani and Uluhiyya). This study compares the Animal Welfare Bill, initiated by the Commission of Law of Sri Lanka on 2006, with the tenets of Islamic Law (Shariah) through a review of literature and thematic content analysis to identify areas where the right of the animal is violated. According to Animal Welfare Bill of 2006, these areas refer to the slaughter of animals for meals, transport of animals, use of live animals for scientific purposes, and cruelty relating to animals. These identified areas coincide with the identified areas espoused by the Prophet Mohamed (PBUH), and a solution produced to prevent such violation with the instruction of almighty Allah around 1400 years ago.

Abstract

The controversy surrounding the implementation of Aceh’s Qanun No. 6 of 2014 on Islamic Criminal Law (Qanun Jinayat), particularly regarding corporal punishment through public caning, has been extensively examined from normative and political perspectives. However, scholarly attention remains limited in exploring how this issue is represented and reproduced within digital media spaces, despite the increasing significance of online platforms in shaping public opinion and negotiating legal meaning in a digitalized society. This article analyzes how online media narratives frame the enforcement of Qanun Jinayat and how digital discourses reflect and influence public perceptions of the legitimacy, ethics, and effectiveness of Islamic criminal law amidst tensions between local religious values and universal human rights principles. Employing a netnographic approach combined with framing discourse analysis, the study examines national and international online news articles published between November 2024 and January 2025, through the lens of three legal dimensions: law in the idea, law in the book, and law in action. The findings reveal stark narrative polarization: local media emphasize religio-cultural legitimacy and procedural legality grounded in special autonomy, while international media and human rights organizations highlight discriminatory practices, inconsistent implementation, and violations of individual rights. This study demonstrates that digital media function not merely as information conduits, but as discursive agents that actively shape, contest, and reconstruct the legal and moral legitimacy of Sharia in contemporary Indonesia. Consequently, Qanun Jinayat must be understood not only as a legal text but as a socially negotiated construct within the digital public sphere. [Kontroversi mengenai implementasi Qanun Aceh No. 6 Tahun 2014 tentang Hukum Jinayat, khususnya dalam aspek hukuman cambuk publik, telah banyak dikaji melalui pendekatan normatif dan politis. Namun, representasi dan reproduksi isu ini dalam ruang media digital masih merupakan area yang relatif terabaikan, padahal media online memainkan peran sentral dalam pembentukan opini publik serta negosiasi makna hukum dalam masyarakat yang semakin terdigitalisasi. Artikel ini menganalisis bagaimana narasi media online membingkai pelaksanaan Qanun Jinayat, serta bagaimana wacana digital mencerminkan dan memengaruhi persepsi publik terhadap legitimasi, etika, dan efektivitas hukum syariah dalam konteks ketegangan antara nilai-nilai religius lokal dan prinsip-prinsip hak asasi manusia universal. Dengan menggunakan metode netnografi dan framing discourse analysis terhadap sejumlah artikel media daring nasional dan internasional selama periode November 2024–Januari 2025, penelitian ini mengkaji tiga dimensi hukum: law in the idea (konsep), law in the book (norma hukum), dan law in action (praktik). Temuan menunjukkan adanya polarisasi narasi yang tajam antara media lokal yang cenderung menekankan legitimasi religius-kultural dan legalitas prosedural berbasis otonomi khusus, dan media internasional serta lembaga hak asasi manusia yang menyoroti praktik diskriminatif, inkonsistensi implementasi, serta pelanggaran terhadap hak-hak individu. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa media digital tidak sekadar berfungsi sebagai saluran informasi, tetapi sebagai aktor diskursif yang aktif dalam membentuk, mempertarungkan, dan merekonstruksi legalitas serta legitimasi moral syariah di Indonesia kontemporer. Dengan demikian, Qanun Jinayat harus dipahami tidak hanya sebagai teks hukum, melainkan sebagai konstruksi sosial yang senantiasa dinegosiasikan dalam ranah publik digital.]

Abstract

Freedom of religion is a fundamental principle in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). However, some international human rights activists argue that Islam does not emphasize religious freedom. Despite this claim, historical accounts indicate that the prophetic tradition ensured religious freedom. While various studies have explored apostasy, they often overlook the perceptions of both Muslims and non-Muslims. Sri Lanka is a diverse country with multiple ethnic and religious groups and has experienced significant clashes over the years. Recognizing differences in views on apostasy among Muslims, this study examines their perceptions regarding religious conversion and its consequences in relation to Islamic legal norms derived from the Quran, Sunnah, and existing literature. The study focuses on the Kurunegala district, a region with a large pluralistic society. Using the Krejcie and Morgan sample selection table, 84 participants were selected, and self-administered questionnaires were used for data collection. The data were analysed using SPSS version 26. Additionally, research articles, books, and web publications were reviewed to construct a conceptual framework. The findings reveal that 78.9% of participants agree that Islam upholds religious freedom, while 16.1% disagree. A majority (78.5%) are unaware that Islam does not criminalize conversion under coercion, which contradicts Islamic teachings. Furthermore, 62.8% believe that individuals who convert from Islam to another religion should be punished, even if they do not harm the Muslim community. This study highlights the need to address misconceptions about apostasy among Sri Lankan Muslims, particularly in the Kurunegala district. It aims to contribute to strategies for reducing these perceptions and promoting a clearer understanding of Islamic teachings on religious freedom.
