The 6th century of Islam witnessed the first emergence of the new class of âulama that tended to âcloseâ the gate of ijtihad. By the closure of the gate of ijtihad I do not mean that the gate of ijtihad can indeed be closed. At some point of its development, the legal system of various schools of thought of Islam has finally been established, the resultant consequence of which being that some âulama felt that ijtihad can only be done on elaborating further the views of the previous âulama and not on proposing original views on particular legal issue of Islam. Al-Suyuti emerged during the era where legal system of Islam has already been established. He claims interestingly, that he is a mujtahid mutlaq, that is, some one who has the absolute and independent authority to do ijtihad and to extrapolate rules from the legal sources of Islam. This comes as a sharp contrast to the general belief at the time that no mujtahid mutlaq may any longer emerge. Al-Suyuti wrote al-Radd to legitimize his claim; a claim that inevitably prompted a strongobjection from his fellow legalists. Although his claim was not received with enthusiasm from the public, al-Suyuti has nonetheless made a valuable contribution in the field of the study of ijtihad. His works are applauded as a great evaluation on the subject. On various occasions, al-Suyuti wrote that the Muslim intellectuals should not be satisfied with the views of the previous âulama (taqlid) and that they should instead exercise their intellectual acumen via ijtihad.

Shariâah is the heart of Islam because it handles the most fundamental aspects of the religion. Ironically however, Shariâah is the most misunderstood dimension of Islam. What we currently believe as Shariâah may not be Shariâah. And the reverse may be true that what we consider as non-Shariâah, may in fact be Shariâah. It is here that reconstructing our understanding concerning the true meaning of Shariâah becomes a matter of necessity. Having this in mind, we are interested in elaborating the critical views of al-Ashmawi on the notion of Shariâah hoping that this will help us to discover the missing âand yet the true- dimension of Shariâah. Al-Ashmawi on the whole, is critical against the jargon that only associates the Shariâah with its formalization and application.

Phenomenological approach to the study of religion has played such a significant role in unraveling mysteries of religious experiences. By bracketing-out (epoché), a researcher must suspend all of his/her judgments concerning the phenomenon under investigation in order that he/she may gain the real knowledge of the religious phenomena and experience as well as the essence of a religion. However, this approach has been subjugated to many critiques which show that it is vulnerable on the following areas: the continued philosophical viability of the phenomenology of religion, the surreptitious theological assumptions or motives behind this approach, and the public role of scholar in social community under study.

Extremist discourse is found within the Shiâite community just as it is also found within the Sunnite group. Within the former, the existence of the sectarian groups âit may be argued- serves as the raison dâÄtre of extremism. These groups emerged first and foremost as a result of the diverging and somewhat conflicting views on the notion of ImÄmah; a notion that always forms part and parcel of the Shiâi tenet. This is in addition to the fact that they emerge as a logical result of the doctrinal disparity that members of these group hold on various issues. It is out of these differences however, that the modulation of Shiâism into the moderates and the extremists -that is the right and the misled Shiâism as it were- comes into being. What this implies is that that kind of modulation is not simply about the classification and social identification of Shiâism. It is also about the categorical stigmatization of members of the group toward each other. Hence, the competing truth-claim among them ends up in a seemingly endless political conflict. In this, those who are judged misled such as the Shiâah Sabâiyah, are often called the âghulatâ. Nonetheless, some scholars argue that the identification of this group as âghulatâ is not due to its misleading tenet, but because of its doctrinal extremism. The more extreme a group becomes, the more misled it is. To me however, this later view is problematic simply because there is no a standardized measure of who is misled and who is not. Vis-à -vis this problem, this paper is destined to investigate the epistemological significance of the word âmisleadingâ that the Shiâah Sabâiyah is associated with, and is also interested to find out to what extent this group may be rightly called extremist. All this will be done through the serious study on the central tenet of Shiâism, namely imÄmah.

This paper is aimed at exploring the epistemological aspect of the science of Islamic Law, that is, its methods and procedures of analysis. For this purpose, the paper makes use of the deductive-coherency method, inductive-correspondence method, scientific method, phenolmenological method, and functional as well structural method. The paper argues that procedures in studying Islamic Law consists of there levels of analysis, namely taxonomy analysis, competence analysis and information processing. In reading Islamic Law in this way, it is hoped that this science may be developed along side with other social sciences and humanities.

The prophetic saying (hadith) that speaks of the prophet being influenced by the soothsayer has been a subject of controversy among the Muslims over centuries. Some âulama argue that that hadith is not authentic on the ground that it is not logical and is not in line with the very teaching of the Qurâan, sound reason and the overall tenets of Islam. The Muâtazlites are among those who belong to this group. Among the legalists, there are outstanding âulama who are also against this hadith such as Abu Ishaq al-Istarbadi of Shafiâiyyah, Abu Bakr al-Razi al-Jassas of Hanafiyyah, and Ibn Hazm al-Dhahabi of Zahiriyyah. In addition, Muhammad Abduh and Rashid Ridha are listed among the modern scholars who strongly argue against it. Other group of âulama nonetheless argue that that hadith is sound and authentic both in terms of its chain of narration as well as in terms of its text. Imam al-Bukhari, Imam Muslim and Ibn Qayyim belong to this second group of âulama. How do these two groups of âulama with conflicting views develop their argument on the subject, is the question that this paper is interested in answering.

Sahih al-Bukhari is one of the most well-known books on prophetic sayings that contains a good deal of authentic hadith. That this book is considered authoritative by a great number of Muslims over centuries is in itself an indication that it is an extraordinary piece of work. The author of the book, al-Bukhari was very careful in selecting the prophetic sayings and do not include the weak hadiths in his collection. However upon a closer scrutiny, there are indeed weak hadiths in the book. And the weakness lies in both the chain of narration and in the texts of the hadith narrated. With regard to the former, the weakness is due to the fact that the names of narrators in some hadiths are not clearly mentioned. This results in some hadiths being baseless and having no relation with some other hadiths. As to the latter, the weakness is due to the inclusion of the sayings and the deeds of the prophetâs disciples without there being approval (taqrÄ«r) from the prophet concerning the acceptability of those sayings and deeds. The weak hadiths can nonetheless be elevated by rule to the higher status of good hadith on condition that the weak hadith receives a support from other authentic hadith.

The unethical behaviors that modern men have recently shown are nurtured by so many factors, the most important of which is the modern science and civilization that pay no serious attention to the values of religion. Modernity tends to ignore God who is behind all realities. This resulted in human attitude having also ignored religionâand with that- human wellbeing. It is within this frame of analysis that we may say that corruption is rampant in our society. In the meantime, Tasawuf which offers ethics of religiosity has been looked at one-sidedly and is even left behind altogether. This paper tries to explore the importance of Tasawuf for the young Muslim generation of this nation in a way that they may realize that Islam is a compassion for the whole world (rahmatan li al-âalamÄ«n).
