An Islamic Approach to the Veil of Ignorance and the Original Position

Abstract One critique of John Rawls’ theory of justice is the inconceivability of the “original position,” as it is impossible to conceive of a self without all particular features. When this problem is considered, we try to imagine the position of contracting parties with no definite idea of the good, helping us understand the correspondence between the conditions of the original position and the contracting parties’ ideas of the good. This article focuses on the unacceptability of the conditions of the original position, with its implicit veil of ignorance, as it is related to Islam. Islamic thought cannot accept Ralws’ conditions due to Islam’s universal command to follow the dictates of God and specific religious norms. Alternatively, the international original position presented in The Law of Peoples, with access to particular types of the good, is more appropriate for the Islamic context, exemplified through the idea of Kazanistan, with its Islamic form of government and membership in the Society of Peoples.

RECONSTRUCTING CHILD CUSTODY POST-DIVORCE IN ISLAMIC FAMILY LAW: A BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD-BASED APPROACH IN THE CONTEMPORARY ERA

The concept of child custody post-divorce has been a critical issue in Islamic family law, particularly in light of contemporary debates surrounding children’s rights and welfare. In recent decades, there has been a growing emphasis on the Best Interest of the Child (BIC) standard, which has shaped custody decisions in Western legal systems. This article explores the integration of the BIC principle within Islamic family law, specifically addressing how it can be reconstructed to align with modern child welfare needs. Through a comprehensive literature review, the paper examines Islamic legal sources, including the Qur’an, Hadith, and classical fiqh, to evaluate the traditional understanding of child custody in divorce cases. It further investigates the compatibility of Islamic principles with international human rights frameworks that advocate for the child's best interest. The article highlights the challenges and opportunities in adapting Islamic family law to contemporary child custody norms, considering cultural, legal, and societal factors. It also compares the Islamic approach with Western legal perspectives on child welfare, identifying areas for potential reform. The findings suggest that while Islamic law provides a strong foundation for protecting children's rights, it requires contextual adaptation to ensure the child’s best interests are consistently prioritized. This research calls for a balanced and progressive approach to reforming child custody practices within Islamic family law. Ultimately, it aims to contribute to a more child-centered framework in Islamic legal systems, offering insights for policymakers and legal practitioners.

On Sexuality and Persianate Modernity

ABSTRACT This article assesses sexuality as a crucial component of Persianate modernity in Alexander Jabbari’s The Making of Persianate Modernity. Drawing on the work of Joseph Massad, Afsaneh Najmabadi, and Michel Foucault, Jabbari argues that nineteenth- and twentieth-century literary historians erased premodern Persianate homoerotic desire to craft a “productive” vision of modernity. This erasure participated in a larger epistemic shift that located heteronormative coupling as useful for emerging nation-states. Alongside this erasure, the author points to other ruptures related to sexuality in Persianate modernity, such as the surfacing of a distinctly feminine voice that speaks of desire, the post-1980s adoption of LGBTQ+ identities by many in the modern Persianate world, and the loss of a premodern Islamic approach to romantic love understood as a disease within humoral medicine. Drawing from her own work, Kanner-Botan indicates how continuities in premodern Islamic approaches to love may serve as an additional counterpoint to the epistemic rupture caused by modern approaches to sexuality. Though the ruptures caused by modern approaches to sexuality in the Persianate world merit further research, Jabbari’s engagement with rupture counters the book’s overall focus on continuity by foregrounding the risks of nostalgia latent within the category of the Persianate itself.

Managing Personalization and Collaboration in Education: A Systematic Review of Educational Practices

This systematic literature review analyzes 20 carefully selected documents from the Scopus database. This study explores ways that align with Islamic educational management's principles to balance personalized learning outcomes and community empowerment in academic settings. The selection of documents is based on relevance to the focus and recent developments in Islamic education. The qualitative analysis method uses thematic coding and VOS Viewer. The analysis results indicate that Islamic approaches like collaboration, reflection, and feedback can achieve balanced learning outcomes. Collaborative filtering helps select learning materials according to student's needs, while reflection and feedback strengthen positive interactions and ukhuwah within the learning community. In addition, computer-based learning and e-learning allow students to learn at their own pace. A flexible curriculum allows for adjustments to students' interests by the principle of taysir (making it easy). These findings recommend that educational institutions integrate a multifaceted approach to create an inclusive, adaptive, and Islamic-oriented learning environment.

Is Islamic Monetary System Possible in Indonesia? Interrelation Study between BI 7 Days Reverse Repo Rate and Nisbah Rate

The purpose of this study is to investigate the interrelationship between Bank Indonesia 7 Days Reverse Repo Rate (BI 7 DRRR) and Profit-Loss Sharing Rate (Nisbah Rate) in Islamic Sharia Banks (Bank Syariah Indonesia).
