Exploring the Concepts of Halal and Haram in Islam and Their Scientific Perspective: A Systematic Literature Review

Islam is a divine religion with its own concepts, principles, and theories. Major Islamic faiths include believing in the one and only Allah Almighty, the holy books, the prophets, the angels, etc. Besides these basic beliefs, Islam has comprehensive rules that deal with modern-day problems. Thus, the number of followers of Islam is increasing rapidly, and have currently become the world's second-largest religion with more than 1.8 billion followers. Halal and haram are criteria determined by Allah and His last prophet, Muhammad S.A.W., while interpreted by Islamic scholars every time. Halal substances are those that are permissible and allowed for and are free from all the attributes that lead to prohibition. While haram things are those that are not lawful and not allowed as it is the order of Allah that requires you to stop doing them. Islam, being the final and universal religion, has rules and guidelines for things to be described as halal or haram. In the modern scientific period, every individual is looking for research-based arguments and product development. Thus, there is a need to explore how scientific methods are used to explain the halal and haram nature of substances. Currently, various analytical, molecular, and instrumental approaches are being used for the halal certification of items. Hence, this article aimed to provide recent and updated literature about the concepts of halal and haram and how the scientific methods are helpful in their explanation.

Dubbing Religious References from English into Arabic: A Case Study of The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Hercules

Dubbing religious references between two incongruent cultures may be considered one of the most complicated tasks due to the use of complex and specialized religion-specific concepts. This especially so when dealing with English and Arabic because the two religions of Christianity and Islam, being divine religions, may converge and diverge on several concepts, whether partially or completely. The present study examines dubbing religious references in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Hercules animated movies into Arabic (Egyptian Vernacular) both quantitatively and qualitatively. In the quantitative part, the religious terms are classified based on the dubbing strategies suggested in this paper, including omission (21%), TT substitution (19%), generalization (15%), ST substitution (14%), topic shifting (14%), literal translation (11%), and paraphrase (6%). A sample of the overall adaptation of songs is also included. For its turn, the qualitative part looks critically into the strategies used in dubbing religious references. The findings show that the dubbers have opted for using a variety of translation strategies in order to avoid blasphemous expressions in the target Muslim culture. It seems that the avoidance of blasphemy emanating from Greek and Christian cultures in the two works has been a top priority for the dubbers. These findings are expected to be of great help to students and practitioners who engage in religious translation.

The Reasons for the Differences in Interpretations of Some Orientalists and Commentators on the Hadiths About Jerusalem and al-Masjid al-Aqsā

Jerusalem and al-Masjid al-Aqsā are among the most sacred places that are considered sacred by the divine religions. So much so that it is emphasized in the Qur'an that al-Aqsā and its surroundings have been blessed, and Jerusalem and its environs are described as “a sacred land”. In addition to the Qur'an, the virtue of these places has also been declared in the hadiths. As a matter of fact, narrations about these two holy places are found in hadith sources; al-Masjid al-Aqsā is the second masjid built on earth after the Kaʻba, it is the place where the prophets lived and carries their memories, prayers and other acts of worship performed in al-Masjid al-Aqsā are rewarded more than those performed in other masjids except al-Masjid al-Harām and al-Masjid al-Nabawī, and al-Masjid al-Aqsā is one of the three masjids that can be traveled to for the purpose of worship, and the conquest, reconstruction and reconstruction of these two places are encouraged. However, there are deep differences of approach between commentators and orientalists in interpreting the narrations on the issue of al-Aqsā and Jerusalem. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine and evaluate how commentators and orientalists evaluate a hadīth on the same subject, on what evidence and justifications both groups base their views, and what are the main reasons for the differences in their approaches. As a method, the subject and the relevant hadīths will be taken as the basis, rather than a particular orientalist or commentator, and the interpretations of the commentators and the different approaches and evaluations of the orientalists in their own works will be identified and compared with each other, focusing on the differences between their views and their reasons.

Despite the expanding worldwide Islamic tourism market, the industry is still largely untapped. As Islamic tourism market comprises of the technology-driven market dominated by the millennial, followed by gen Z and gen Alpha as the next successors, Islamic tourism stakeholders are urged to capitalize cutting-edge technology in their business orientation to gain competitive advantage and business sustainability. As such, this content-analysis paper aims to determine Islamic tourism stakeholders’ adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their business orientation. Findings indicated that Narrow AI is the most common AI types used by most of the Islamic tourism stakeholders. It was also found that both internal and external factors strongly influenced the AI adoption and it types among the stakeholders. Nevertheless, the organization’s financial health, the business size and scope, and the target market’s needs profoundly affect AI implementation by the business operators. As for the customers, the expected delivery performance, the service facilitating conditions and the expenses they have to pay were found to be significant in influencing them in their AI acceptance. AI adoption positively influences the Islamic tourism stakeholders’ business orientation and the organizations’ sustainability. Capitalizing AI in Islamic tourism business orientation helps to redress Islamic muamalat misconception and other religious related issues and practices, promote understanding about divine religions, allows for greater flexibility in the differences in Fiqh implementation, pooling stronger and sound Muslim experts manpower capitalization and empowerment in various fields as technology and business, ensure Syariah compliance and conformance which results to greater efficiency, increase performance, competitive advantage and Islamic tourism business sanctity and sustainability. As AI is evolving, it is projected that the industry will fully capitalize this technology and establishes legal measures to cope with the industry standard and business sustainability while at the same time ensuring experience and value-driven service to the customers.

Evidence for the Prohibition of Muslim Asylum to Non-Muslims and its Political and Social Consequences

In Islam, to preserve the dignity of Muslims due to their acceptance of the complete divine religion, laws have been established that Muslims are obliged to observe. Under the protection of this precious religion, their honor, life, property, and family are respected, and any actions that may lead to the destruction of these are prohibited. One of the manifestations of this is the prohibition of subjugation to non-Muslims, as Islam strictly forbids Muslims from adhering to laws that result in their humiliation by accepting the commands and entrusting their fate to non-Muslims. This study, through an analytical and descriptive approach and by referring to jurisprudential rulings from primary sources such as the Qur'an and narrations, examines the reasoning behind the prohibition of Muslims seeking asylum with non-Muslims. It also analyzes the political and social consequences of this prohibition. The results of this research confirm the clear evidence from the Qur'anic verses and narrations from the infallible Imams that support the prohibition of Muslims seeking asylum with non-Muslims.

Muslim-Christian Debates in the Subcontinent: A Research Review

Subcontinent is a multi-religious territory and Hinduism is the most ancient religion of this land which is divided into more sects. When Christianity started here during the first century AD the Indians accepted it and bowed the knee before it. Islam was introduced in the Subcontinent because of Arabian traders. In the 8th century, the Arabian government was established here. The Christians, being the people of the Book, created more problems for the Muslims because of some similarities. That is why the Muslims had to face their objections and prove Islam as a true divine religion. Mughal emperor Akbar started Muslim-Christian debates and after him, his son Jahangir held on to this practice. Their religious policies upreared Christianity in the Subcontinent. Shāh Jahān got over this situation and encouraged the Muslim-converted people by changing the law. Muslim-Christian debates were in full swing during the British period. It was the time when Christian ecclesiasts burnt the candle at both ends to convert the Muslims to Christianity.

İslamiyet’te Muhasebe İzleri

The concept of religion, which is as old as the history of humanity, has made its presence felt at every stage of history. Religion is an important element that shapes people's behavior and can also be expressed as a way of life in general. Religion has provided great benefits for people to live together and integrate. Religion appeals to the individual in particular and to social life in general, and social events interact with religion. It is possible to come across many rules and rules that regulate social life, order, human relations and economic life in commerce in divine religions. In the religion of Islam, there are many rules that regulate economic life, and these rules are directly or indirectly related to the science of accounting. There are many verses and stories related to accounting in Kur’an-ı Kerim, and these have affected the development of accounting science. In this study, the relationship between the verses and stories in the Qur'an and the religion of Islam with accounting has been tried to be explained. Key Words: Accounting, Religion.

عبا دات کا میقاتی تصور :سامی ادیان کے تناظر میں ایک مطالعہ

Worship is an integral part of every religion. Now a days there is not any region in world where worship is not practiced in one way or another. Islam is a natural religion. Everything comes under the cover of Islam including Human Rights, Commands of Allah, human relations and interactions with each other etc. All commands, rights and actions are as per path of nature. However, other religions are lacking such kind of delicate balance of nature in every aspect of life. On one side excess and other side deviation is observed. Some religions consider material things core of life while others completely deny it. Islam kept balance between spirit and body. It commands as per requirement of each part. It has not refused one part and encouraged other part of it. Such kind of access and deviations are possible in secular systems but not under the Divine Religion of Islam where everything is written on “Tablet of Heaven”. Therefore there are no chances of such kind of error in this divine religion of Islam. He has been given as much importance and priority as he has the right and demand. It is possible for the human mind and free thinking to be completely inclined towards the other side by denying one aspect, but it is absolutely not possible in the divine system of Islam. Because here are the commands of the Creator of the slaves instead of the slaves and like His essence, His commands are also free from all defects.

Belief in the Hereafter and Iqbal’s Concept of Eternity: An Analytical Study

Belief in the Hereafter is one of the six pillars of Islamic belief required of a Muslim in order to complete his faith. Although the general conception of life after death and the Hereafter is found in all Divine Religions, the emphasis given in Islam is unique. A glance at the Holy Quran provides the idea that believing in the Hereafter is the most important issue in Islam after believing in God. The topic has covered nearly one third of the Holy Quran with more than 1200 Ayaats. It is almost impossible to find a page in the Quran in which the issue of the Hereafter is not mentioned. Believing in God and the Hereafter are coupled in the Quran approximately 30 times. Therefore, in Islamic Theology, believing in God and the Hereafter are considered the border between atheism and religious belief. Believing in the Hereafter in Islam means the soul and the body of the dead will rise on the Day of Resurrection to be judged. Righteous people will be rewarded with eternal blessings in Paradise while the sinful and disbelievers will suffer in Hell, in following, arguments about hereafter along with Iqbal’s, critique on philosophers and concept of eternity would be discussed.

KONFLIK PEREBUTAN TANAH SUCI TIGA AGAMA SAMAWI DI YERUSALEM (1980-2017 M)

This study describes the conflict over the conflict over the holy land of three divine religions in Jerusalem during the Israeli period, namely, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, as the religion with the largest adherents on earth. The choice of this theme is considered important because of the dynamics of the struggle for territory that has civilizations that are connected to each other between the three divine religions, with the Prophet Ibrahim AS as the father of the prophets as well as the ancestor of their religion. The researchers took two theories that were used, among others, social action theory from Max Weber, and social conflict theory from Dahdrendorf. Yerusalem It has an important history for these three heavenly religions, presenting a sense of wanting to control and claim the holy city of Jerusalem as a city that belongs only to one religion. A re-reading of the history of Jerusalem has shown the historical spectrum of the social life of the three divine religions in Jerusalem.

Peace In Islam In The Light Of The Holy Quran And Hadith

Islam is a peaceful, merciful, tolerant, and most kind religion. It is a divine religion. To advance and defend justice and peace, it confronts every cruelty, violence, and viciousness. The goal of the entire Islamic ethical system is to uphold society's overall state of peace, safety, and happiness. This code emphasizes unity and all righteous actions that promote peace and forbids any action that promote violence. Therefore, if the society's members follow Islamic ethics, they will surely experience peace, safety, and satisfaction. All Islamic moral principles result in a better individual who is an upright human being who possesses the admirable qualities of honesty, justice, courage, generosity, patience, and kindness. For Muslims and non-Muslims alike, justice and peace are necessary and important in all circumstances, whether one is joyful and satisfied or disturbed and dissatisfied. This paper focuses on how the holy Qur’an and the traditions of Prophet of Islam (PBUH) teach its followers to obey and uphold the divine laws so that everyone in the society feels safe and comfortable and also educate them to be kind and to like for others as wishes for themselves so that everyone in the society benefits. This paper concludes with the argument that Islam seeks to construct the ideal human society and brotherhood, spreading all-around goodness and divine direction among people for their benefit and betterment.

The Translation and Exegesis of the Religious Texts and the Need for Religious Linguistics

Linguistics, the science which studies the humanitarian languagesscientifically, tackled from its beginning in the 19th century certain linguistic aspectssuch as, Phonetics, Syntax, Morphology, and Semantics. In the course of time, thisscience has witnessed continuous developments so as to include other lingualdisciplines and secondary lingual sciences, like Historical Linguistics,Psycholinguistics, Contrastive Linguistics, not to mention the other lingual sciencesand theories, such as Language Acquisition and Learning, Discourse Analysis,Stylistics and others. In spite of the fact that all these disciplines have come aboutfrom General Linguistics, still there is a field which needs a great deal of study andconcern, namely the effect of the religious texts or religion in general on language. Itis a well-known fact that different religious interpretations and exegeses, especiallythose dealt with Divine religions, created sectarian outlooks which led to blood shedsin European Christian communities since the middle ages and recently amongstArab and Muslim peoples. This can be attributed to the lack of understandinglanguages since they are pregnant with rich heritages of their own, something whichrequires the need of dedicating a new branch of linguistic study, namely ReligiousLinguistics. The oriental linguists, whether Muslims, Christians and Jews cancontribute greatly in this field of studies since these Jewish, Christian and Islamicholy books were basically written in their Hebrew, Aramaic/Syriac and Arabicrespectively, and had different translations and exegeses. Such a new field, then, willlead to revise the holy books, their exegeses, rhetoric, idioms, style and all theirlingual aspects scientifically, and to more understating, harmony and rapprochementbetween all the followers of these religions.

The rights of Iraqi women between legislation and application A survey of a sample of Iraqi women journalists

The talk about women's rights is one of the new old words. It is renewed despite all the divine religions and the laws enacted by the Holy Quran. The Quran has distinguished women in the importance of respecting their rights and honoring them. The care and respect of women is one of the most important rules in Islamic legislation that affirms this right in all fields but in the ground, these heavenly laws are transformed into verses that we read and do not work with, and the laws are reserved for materials between the books and on the shelves of libraries without finding those who apply them. In many institutions today, governmental and educational, even when they are headed by those with a religious character, those who ignore these rights have been the media women most affected by this subject because of the harassment and abuse even from their colleagues in the work because they do not understand the importance of their existence or because they consider them to contend with the place, which is a very late view of women. The media despite the call for freedom of expression and members of paragraphs of it in the Constitution, It gives the opportunity to express its opinion, but that there are many advocates of women's rights are the most people in their application has spread the latest phenomenon of violence is strange to our Muslim community, which works with the Koran and the Sunnah of the noble Prophet and women in many environments in our society, From this point of view, the idea of research on women's rights comes from legislation and application from the point of view of media. The research relies on the survey method through a questionnaire distributed to a sample of Iraqi women journalists belonging to multiple generations to find out their views and attitudes on the reality of the application of these legislations and laws that guarantee the rights woman Keywords: women's rights, legislation, laws, Iraqi women journalists, survey study.

الحماية القانونية لحقوق ذوي الإعاقة - دراسة في حق التعليم وحق العمل

Human rights are recognized for all individuals with disabilities through divine religions, international charters and national legislation for the category of persons with disabilities, which are the most vulnerable groups in society, so the research was limited to the extent of the interest of relevant international and national legislation in providing legal protection for this category based on the descriptive and analytical approach of legal texts related to their protection, which came in line to some extent with international conventions, including the convention on the rights of the child of 1989 and the convention on the rights of persons with disabilities of 2006, to which Iraq has joined by law No. (16) since 2012, it has become a fundamental commitment to the need to provide legal protection For this category, the Iraqi law on the care of persons with disabilities and special needs in force No. 38 of 2013 was issued

Self and Its Actualization: Panoramic Validity

Objective: The validity of Quranic Orientation Scale (QOS) developed by Khodadady and Dastgahian [1] was explored. They extracted its underlying factors through Principal Axis Factoring (PAF) and rotated them via Promax with Kaiser Normalization (PKN). This study, however, rotated the extracted factors via Varimax with Kaiser Normalization (VKN) to find out 1) which rotational method determines the invariance in the factors extracted from the QOS and 2) which factors rotated with these methods associate positively with English language achievement (ELA). Method: The responses of 1123 grade 4 senior high school students (G4SHSSs) who took the QOS were subjected to PAF and VKN. The extracted and rotated factors were then correlated with the students’ scores on a test measuring their ELA. To standardize the method the word “self” was operationalized by resorting to divine religion and schema theory. Results: VKN is superior to PKN for several reasons. First, it shows QOS enjoys not only factorial but also divine, empirical and theoretical validity. Secondly, the invariance in the QOS items lies in its first factor. Thirdly; the first factor rotated by VKN is broader than that of the PKN in its constituting items. And finally, the first factor rotated by VKN explains G4SHSSs’ self-actualization better than the QOS because its positive association with the ELA is stronger than those of the QOS and PKN. Conclusion: Self is an 11-taxon schema through which G4SHSSs resort not only to God but also to other sapiens to actualize it.

Religious beliefs, addiction tendency, sexual dysfunction and intention to divorce among Muslim couples

Described as a gem in Islam, intellect can lead all individual and social behaviours towards balance, appeal and godliness. Given the utmost importance of protecting intellect in this divine religion, everything from eating and drinking to reading, listening and entertainment is thus considered haram [viz. remains prohibited] if it makes threats to the health of mind and soul. In general, narcotics and substance abuse in all forms can have crushing and all-encompassing effects, that is, inflict heavy blows on the body, soul, mind, willpower and religion in a person and consequently destroy life in the family and society. The continuation of life as well as the stability and survival of this holy institution accordingly depends on many factors, including addiction tendency (AT) and sexual dysfunction (SD). It is also obvious that the balance and optimal use of sexual instinct on the accepted path of religion will be the key to the family health and strength. Altogether, the role of AT and SD on intention to divorce (ITD) in Indonesian Muslim couples (n = 450) was investigated in 2022 in this study, wherein one partner had previously attended addiction treatment centres over the last 6 months. The study results ultimately demonstrated that AT could induce SD and consequently raise ITD among Muslim couples.Contribution: The study results confirmed the harmful impacts of AT on SD among Muslim couples, which could increase their ITD. In view of this, it was suggested to promote religious teachings in the family to benefit from their positive effects.

The education of children in an Islamic family based on the Holy Qur’an

Education has been acknowledged as the key factor contributing to personality development and identity formation. To ensure appropriate education, it is thus of utmost importance to reflect on the power of the educational content. As a result, respecting Islamic values from a major authentic source, like the Holy Qur’an, paves the ground to fulfil this goal. On the contrary, the first and foremost educators to convey these values are the family, because each person mainly spends the time of one’s education in this small, primary social institution. Above and beyond, the building block of a society and the starting point of a culture, a civilisation and human history is the family. As a noble book of guidance for the human beings, the Holy Qur’an has accordingly shed light on the role of the family. Against this background, this study, adopting a descriptive analytical approach, aimed to investigate the Islamic family from the perspective of the Holy Qur’an with an emphasis on the education of children. Accordingly, the Holy Qur’an reveals that the main purposes of creating a family are inner peace, generational survival and expansion of the faith and monotheism. A healthy family environment can thus have a profound impact on cultivating moral character and virtues. In view of the Holy Qur’an, the family is the first place to seek relief and perform the acts of worship. No divine religions have also given as much value to the family as Islam, which implies its comprehensiveness. Despite much attention to the family in most societies, it receives special importance in the Qur’anic teachings. This article is a review study that dealt with Qur’anic concepts related to education in the family. Therefore, after categorising different Qur’anic verses, analyses have been presented in each category.Contribution: Islam has set many specific programmes and educational instructions from childbirth and then delegated their implementation to the family. Accordingly, this noble religion offers many guidelines for picking a perfect name, breastfeeding and weaning, loving, observing justice and fulfilling promises in relation to children.

ISLAMIC FEATURES AMONG ARAB POETS BEFORE ISLAM

Islam is the religion of virtuous morals, praiseworthy characteristics, and lofty principles, and not only Islam, but all divine religions and divine laws enjoin justice, benevolence, courage, generosity, forbearance, honesty, and patience, in addition to enjoining the worship of God, the One and Only, and referring to Him and uniting Him in worship. From this point of view, all that was contained in the speech of the Arabs before Islam, urging people to believe in God and return to Him, encouraged the creation of virtuous morals and human values, whether this speech was prose or poetry, because it is considered one of the religious features in general and Islamic in particular, and therefore I thought to highlight The light on some of these values and principles in the poetry of the Arabs before Islam, and that was the main reason for writing this research. This research was divided into an introduction and two sections. As for the introduction, I introduced the definition of the word “features” and clarified its meanings and derivation, and then divided what remained into two main sections based on two important aspects, the doctrinal side, from the command to worship God Almighty alone and belief in death and resurrection after death, and urging righteousness and benevolence and other matters that are counted on the side dogmatic. As for the second topic, I devoted it to other moral values, such as forbearance, patience, honesty, chastity, generosity, and other moral values and lofty principles, and other things that the Arabs used to do in word and deed.

Retracted Article: Marriage and Marital Fidelity in Interparental Relationship: A View from Religious Perspective

AbstractFamily is crucial for the development and health of children. Parental disharmony and quarrels before or after divorce can negatively affect children's development and health; therefore, we strongly suggest that physicians should question the interparental relationship when evaluating a child. Marriage, which forms the basis of the family, has been accepted as the only legitimate relationship in all Divine religions that allows men and women to create their privacy and share space and contribute to the continuation of the human race. Since ancient times in all cultures and religions worldwide, interparental fidelity has been the most important thing in marriage. Happy family life is perpetuated through confidence between husband and wife and heartfelt respect and love. Immodest dress and free-and-easy behavior destroy confidence and spoil mutual respect and love. Therefore, religion has established the rule of marital fidelity. The definition of adultery in all religions consists of very similar elements. Men and women who commit adultery have been punished in various ways. In this article, we discussed marriage and marital fidelity, which determine the course of the interparental relationship, from a religious perspective to draw attention to the importance of the family institution in child health.
