Abstract

This article examines the evolution of mathematical sciences within the Ottoman State over a six-hundred-year period, specifically focusing on the conceptual and practical integration of mathematics into the Islamic intellectual and social framework. By analyzing the lives and contributions of key figures such as Qādīzāda al-Rūmī, Ali al-Qushjī, and Matrakçı Nasūh, the study demonstrates how the Ottomans harmonized the "rational sciences" (al-ulūm al-aqliyya) with the "religious sciences" (al-ulūm al-naqliyya). It argues that mathematics underwent a distinct process of institutionalization within the Madrasa system, where arithmetic (hisāb) was often categorized as a compulsory religious necessity for tasks such as calculating inheritance (farāʾiḍ), managing endowments (waqf), and determining prayer times. Through a survey of seminal textbooks and the establishment of institutions like the Sahn-i Sāmān, the article illustrates how mathematical inquiry was framed as a pursuit of wisdom (hikma) and a means to contemplate the order of creation. Furthermore, the transition from classical Arabic and Persian manuscripts to vernacular Turkish texts for state accountants reflects a unique synthesis of high-level scholarship with the pragmatic administrative needs of an Islamic caliphate, maintaining a coherent scientific identity even as it engaged with emerging Western technologies in the later centuries.

Abstract

The foundational principles of human rights in Islam are inherently linked to essential entitlements such as the right to life, protection from forced labour, the right to own property, and freedom of expression. Both religious and secular worldviews have historically influenced the legal frameworks that govern human rights. Despite being regarded as inherent and inviolable, these rights have been frequently violated, resulting in the suffering and death of countless individuals through acts of cruelty and injustice. In response to the atrocities of World War II, the United Nations General Assembly formulated and adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), marking a significant step in the global acknowledgement of these rights. However, the Western approach to human rights has often differed in terms of interpretation, implementation, and access. The evolution of human rights is, in essence, a continuous discourse on what constitutes the inherent dignity and rightful entitlements of the human being. Ideally, such rights should be considered universal and beyond dispute. Recognizing this, I found it imperative to emphasize the significance of human dignity and property rights from an Islamic standpoint.

Abstract

This study explores the intersection between Islamic ethical principles and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 1 (SDG 1): No Poverty. It argues that Islam provides a comprehensive moral and institutional framework that aligns with, and in many ways deepens, the contemporary discourse on poverty eradication. Drawing from primary Islamic sources—the Qur’an, Hadith, and classical jurisprudence—this research identifies key concepts such as zakat (obligatory almsgiving), waqf (endowment), and takaful (mutual support) as enduring mechanisms of social justice and wealth redistribution. Through a qualitative analysis of these principles and their application in selected Muslim-majority societies, the study demonstrates how Islamic social finance and ethical economics can contribute to sustainable poverty alleviation. Moreover, it highlights that poverty in Islam is not merely an economic condition but a moral and relational imbalance that requires both individual piety and collective responsibility. The findings suggest that integrating Islamic social ethics into SDG frameworks could foster more context-sensitive and spiritually grounded approaches to sustainable development. Ultimately, this study invites a rethinking of global poverty reduction not only as a technical or financial challenge but as a holistic pursuit of human dignity and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah—the higher objectives of Islamic law.

Abstract

This article examines the role of Sufism’s vernacularization and the evolving relationship between Sufi scholars and political authorities in driving the cultural transformation of Islam in South Asia. Sufi figures were instrumental in localizing Islamic teachings through the production of religious texts in regional languages, the use of vernacular poetic forms, and the incorporation of indigenous cultural symbols. These strategies not only broadened access to Islamic knowledge but also stimulated the emergence of new literary genres, scripts, and modes of religious expression. At the same time, Sufi institutions and ruling elites developed a reciprocal relationship in which political patronage, including land endowments and institutional support, enabled Sufi networks to flourish, while Sufi legitimacy reinforced political authority and social stability. Beyond their spiritual functions, Sufi saints and their transregional networks actively promoted education, ethical norms, social justice, and intercommunal coexistence, frequently mediating between local communities and governing powers. Such interactions facilitated the formation of inclusive cultural identities, mitigated religious tensions, and contributed to the institutionalization of communal harmony across the region. Through a multidisciplinary analysis encompassing historical, literary, and sociopolitical perspectives, this study demonstrates that the vernacularization of Sufism and its entanglement with political power have left a lasting imprint on the pluralistic and dynamic character of Islam in South Asia.

Abstract

Afghanistan’s legal history is defined by persistent legal pluralism in which Hanafi Islamic law has continuously coexisted with customary norms (adat/Pashtunwali) and state legislation, rather than being replaced by a single imported legal model. This article examines whether the evolution of Islamic law in Afghanistan is best understood as an endogenous process of Islamization or as a form of Arabisation driven by external doctrinal, institutional, and political influences. It argues that Afghan legal development cannot be reduced to passive reception of Arab legal culture. Employing historical and doctrinal analysis, the article traces the embedding of Islam within Afghan legal culture, demonstrating that the authority of Sharia has long been grounded in local religious beliefs, customary practices, and the social legitimacy of religious elites. Simultaneously, Afghan Islamic legal thought has selectively engaged with transregional intellectual currents circulating across the Ottoman, Indian, and broader Pan-Islamic worlds. The article then examines critical moments of codification and constitutional development—from the Islamic legal modernism of the 1923 Constitution to subsequent constitutional regimes and contemporary Taliban governance to show how Afghan elites appropriated transnational Islamic discourses without fully displacing indigenous jurisprudential traditions. By analyzing tensions between Hanafi and Hanbali interpretations, Sufi and Salafi or Wahhabi orientations, and the dynamic interaction between Sharia and adat, the article contends that Afghanistan’s legal trajectory reflects a negotiated and locally grounded Islamization process. Arabised doctrinal imports are filtered, fragmented, and frequently subordinated to Afghan socio-ethnic realities. Conceptually, the article reframes Afghanistan as an active node of “juridical Pan-Islam,” highlighting Afghan agency in shaping Islamic law for state-building, modernization, and political authority.

Abstract

The Islamization of art has often been discussed through normative, theological, or stylistic perspectives, yet its archaeological dimensions remain insufficiently explored. This study examines the Islamization of art through the lens of archaeology by distinguishing between empirically verifiable facts and interpretative constructions that are often shaped by modern assumptions or ideological narratives. By analyzing material culture—such as architectural remains, decorative motifs, inscriptions, and artifacts—from early and medieval Islamic contexts, this paper investigates how artistic forms were transformed, adapted, or re-signified within an Islamic worldview rather than abruptly replaced. Archaeological evidence demonstrates that the Islamization of art was a gradual, context-sensitive process marked by continuity, selective adaptation, and ethical reorientation, rather than iconoclastic rupture alone. At the same time, the paper critically addresses common “fictions,” including oversimplified claims of uniform aniconism, total rejection of pre-Islamic artistic traditions, or the notion of a monolithic Islamic artistic style. By situating archaeological data within historical, social, and religious frameworks, this study argues that the Islamization of art reflects a dynamic interaction between faith, local cultures, and material practices. The findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of Islamic art as a lived and evolving expression of belief, rooted in both material reality and spiritual meaning.

Abstract

This text presents a polemical critique of modern Zionism and the historical narratives used to justify the state of Israel. It argues that the current conflict in the Muslim world reflects deeper ideological and historical tensions, portraying Israel as a colonial project rooted in religious and political myths. The author disputes the historical and genetic continuity between the ancient Banī Isrāʾīl and modern Jews, claiming that Judaism emerged later as a religious movement shaped by scribal elites in Mesopotamia. The text also contends that Jewish presence in Palestine has not been continuous for the past two millennia and challenges linguistic claims surrounding the revival of Hebrew, describing modern Hebrew as a reconstructed language with significant inconsistencies. Furthermore, the author frames Zionism within a broader tradition of imperial ideologies, linking it to concepts such as England’s “Elect Nation” and the Nazi idea of a “Master Race.” Concluding with commentary on contemporary geopolitics, the piece argues that the vision of “Greater Israel” is unrealistic and asserts that regional forces, particularly Iran, have exposed the fragility of this project.

Abstract

Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas (5 September 1931 – 8 March 2026/at the night of 19 Ramadhan 1447), one of the most influential Muslim philosophers and intellectuals of the modern era, passed away at the age of 94, leaving behind a profound intellectual legacy that reshaped contemporary discussions on Islamic knowledge, education, and civilization. For more than half a century, al-Attas stood among the rare scholars who combined classical Islamic learning with modern philosophical inquiry. His writings and institutional work influenced generations of scholars across the Muslim world, particularly through his efforts to rethink the foundations of knowledge and education in the modern age.

Abstract

Psychosexual theory by Sigmund Freud has significantly influenced contemporary understanding of human personality. Freud postulated that neurotic mental disorders in humans are greatly influenced by their early childhood sexual experiences. While this theory has exerted substantial influence, it is not without its methodological shortcomings. Moreover, Muslim psychologists have identified a fundamental clash between the Freudian worldview and Islamic perspectives, deeming psychosexual theory incongruent with Islamic principles. Therefore, this paper aims to undertake a reconstruction of Freud's Psychosexual theory through an Islamic worldview lens. This study primarily relies on library research, with primary data sources comprising Sigmund Freud's original works and secondary data sources consisting of relevant books that strengthen arguments and supplement research data. Data analysis employs content analysis. The findings of this study reveal epistemological and worldview issues within psychosexual theory that are incongruent with Islamic perspectives. Thus, the process of Islamization of this theory becomes a necessity to remove elements conflicting with Islamic worldviews

Abstract

This paper is titled "Linguistic Structuralism as a Contemporary Interpretative Approach." The research presented in this paper is conducted using a library research model and is presented in a descriptive-analytical framework. It seeks to describe the language analysis methods used by some Islamic scholars as approaches to reading the Quran. The method in question is Linguistic Structuralism, which was developed by Ferdinand de Saussure. Linguistic Structuralism, originally a study of pure language, has found its place as an analytical tool in the hands of Islamic scholars. This linguistic study attempts to uncover meanings and significances that give rise to a "new" meaning, a meaning represented by the text itself. Two scholars who explicitly apply several aspects of linguistic structuralism in their Quranic readings will be discussed: Muhammad Syahrur in "al-KitÄb wa al-Qur’Än QirÄ’ah MuÊ»Äá¹£irah" and Mohammed Arkoun in "Lectures du Coran."
