Gani (Faculty of Law, Universitas Syiah Kuala) and others "examine the degree to which the Constitutional Rights of Indonesian Citizens are maintained by the state, specifically focusing on democratic Public Elections (Pemilu) and Public Elections for Regional Heads (Pemilukada)."
- In "A case study of Muslims' perspectives of expanded terminal sedation:addressing the elephant in the room" (BMC Medical Ethics 25 (2024)), Elham H. Othman (Faculty of Nursing, Applied Science Private University, Amman, Jordan) and Mohammad R. AlOsta (School of Nursing, Zarqa University, Zarqa, Jordan) " describe a case of a Muslim palliative care nurse who cared for a patient with cancer who requested expanded terminal sedation." The authors argue that "[u]nderstanding the Islamic perspective on terminal sedation could be achieved by analyzing the five major legal maxims of Islamic law (Al-qawā'id al-fiqhiyah), which constitute the general principles that formulate Islamic law. These five principles are (1) Matters are determined according to intention (al-umūr bi maqā'idihā), (2) Hardship begets facility (Al-mashaqqatu tujlab at-taysir), (3) Harm should not be inflicted nor reciprocated (La darar wa la dirar), (4) What is certain cannot be removed by doubt (Al-yaqinu la yazulu bish-shakk), and (5) Custom is arbitrary (Al-'addatu muhakkamatun)."
On Islam and Data Science - In "Shifting landscape of customer preferences: analyzing internet Islamic banking satisfaction during COVID-19" (Humanities and Social Sciences Communications 11 (2024)), Jassim Aladwani (Box Hill College of Kuwait, Kuwait City, Kuwait) evaluates how service quality impacts customer satisfaction with Islamic internet banking during COVID-19, finding that reliability, responsiveness, and complaint handling hinder satisfaction, while efficiency and empathy enhance it, highlighting areas for banks to improve loyalty and competitiveness in digital banking.
FIELD GUIDE TO ISLAMIC LAW ONLINE: RECENT SOURCES The Field Guide to Islamic Law Online is an ever-growing collection of links to hundreds of primary sources and archival collections around the world, online. We recently added a new resource to this list: - Niru-yi Sivvum (The Third Force) was a publication linked to a reformist political movement in 1950s Iran, closely aligned with the Iran Party and Mohammad Mossadegh's National Front. It promoted democratic socialism, anti-colonialism, and the nationalization of Iran's oil resources, acting as a key voice for political advocacy and mobilization during a transformative period in Iranian history.
