2) The classical principles of justice from Islam and America's founders can help build a new just global civilization. Muslims in America should help renew these teachings.

Chapter 1 introduces usul al-fiqh, the principles of Islamic jurisprudence, highlighting its definition, scope, and significance in deducing Islamic law from its sources, primarily the Qur'an and Sunnah. It differentiates usul al-fiqh from fiqh, emphasizing that the former is the methodology for deriving legal rules while the latter concerns the laws themselves. The chapter discusses the development of usul al-fiqh, its objectives, the necessity for a structured approach to ijtihad, and the different approaches adopted by various Islamic schools of thought.PS201-Chapter three

The document discusses the primary and secondary sources of Shariah (Islamic law). The two primary sources are the Quran and Sunnah. Secondary sources include ijma' (consensus of scholars), qiyas (analogical reasoning), istihsan (juristic preference), masalih mursalah (consideration of public interest), urf (custom), and others. The sources are hierarchical, with the Quran as the highest authority, followed by the Sunnah to explain and elaborate on rulings. Secondary sources are utilized when the primary sources do not provide a clear ruling on an issue.Role of religion in society and humanitarian action
Role of religion in society and humanitarian actionShakeb Nabi

Religion plays an important role in society and humanitarian action in three key ways:
1) Religion influences many societies' underlying values and no country has a complete separation of religion and state.
2) The number of faith-based organizations (FBOs) involved in humanitarian work is growing, though their roles and impacts depend on the specific context and crises.
3) FBOs are motivated to both spread their religious influence and assist suffering communities based on their core values, and their presence can help facilitate access to populations in need during humanitarian crises.Religion

This document discusses five Islamic legal maxims:
1. Acts are judged by the intention behind them. Intention determines whether an act is lawful or unlawful.
2. Certainty is not overruled by doubt. One cannot be deemed liable until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
3. Hardship begets facility. When adherence to the original law would cause undue hardship, concessions are made to alleviate the hardship.
4. Harm must be eliminated. Lesser harms are preferred over greater harms. Public interest prevails over private interests.
5. Custom is a basis for judgement. When there is no clear Islamic ruling, local customs can be followed as long as they do not contradict IslamicFeasibility of ijma
Feasibility of ijmaNelfi Amiera Mizan

There are differing views on the feasibility of ijma' or scholarly consensus in Islamic law. Some scholars like the Muktazilah and some Shia scholars believe ijma' is not feasible as it is impossible to get agreement among all scholars on legal issues due to their different locations, schools of thought, and potential for changing opinions. Other groups like the Zahiris and Imam Ahmad Hanbal believe ijma' is feasible but only applies to the consensus of the Prophet's companions. Imam Malik believed ijma' is feasible but only for the scholars of Madinah. Shia Imamiyyah only recognize the consensus of the Prophet's family.

The Quran encourages seeking tawassul or means of approach to Allah through righteous deeds. The document goes on to discuss the different types of tawassul that are prescribed in Islam, such as calling on Allah's names and attributes, one's own good deeds, or the supplication of a righteous person.

The document discusses the Islamization of knowledge, including the historical factors that led to the decline of the Muslim ummah. It asserts that adversaries concluded the strength of the ummah stemmed from its religion, and launched an intellectual campaign to weaken its commitment to Islam. This included dominating education systems and mass media. Despite suppression, some groups remained faithful. The crisis facing the ummah has two dimensions - weaknesses in intellectual thought processes, and estrangement from Islamic legacy. The malaise of the ummah needs to be cured, including addressing how it has been subjected to defeats, humiliation, exploitation and de-Islamization.

Tayammum is a dry ablution performed using purified dust or sand when water is unavailable for ritual washing (wudu'). Tayammum can be performed if there is no clean water readily available, to save water for later use, if one is sick and water could worsen their illness or delay cure, or if one has no access to water. To perform tayammum, one intends to prepare for prayer, strikes their hands on earth or dust, shakes off particles, and wipes their face and hands. Tayammum is nullified if water becomes available, necessities requiring bathing occur, or reasons for performing it disappear or are interrupted, such as passing wind.Transmission of ijma

There are two ways that ijma' (consensus) of Muslim jurists is transmitted to subsequent generations: directly through scholars participating in the consensus, or indirectly through reports. Direct consensus is considered acquired ijma', while reported consensus is transmitted ijma'. Transmitted ijma' is reliably proven if reported by multiple sources, but there is disagreement about using solitary reports, as ijma' requires definitive proof while solitary reports only provide speculation. Different schools of Islamic law have taken different positions on whether solitary reports can prove transmitted ijma'.Five Pillars of Islam

"Four things increase the intelligence -- (i) Shunning of nonsensical talks (ii) Use of the Miswaak Benefit of Miswak (iii) Sitting in the company of the pious, and (iv) Sitting in the company of the Ulama." After purchase, the miswak should be soaked in water for a few hours. This softens the natural fibers, which helps them to separate when the top half-inch of bark is pared away with a sharp knife. Then chew the tip gently until brush-like. Start brushing horizontally until squeaky clean. Store vertically upside down.
