Abrogation literal meaning is removing or transferring of something, but its technical meaning is an abrogation or lifting (raf’) of religious regulation by another religious regulation of a later time, this involving direct commands and preventions or prohibitions. Abrogation can be come through following Islamic sources; it can be come by a Qur’anic statement, Hadith statement and through the Ijma statement, but Ijma cannot abrogate the text and abrogation is not permitted by analogy in addition to that analogy cannot also abrogate by another analogy. The legitimacy of abrogation has been confirmed by the holly Qur’an, Allah (S.W.T) said in Surah Al-Baqarah 106, “We do not abrogate any ayah or verse except that we bring or replace for one better than it or parallel to it”. The abrogating text Qur’an or Hadith, is called Naasikh, whereas the revoked rule called Mansuukh.
Despite there is some disagrees among the Islamic jurists, regarding the concept of abrogation in term of the details, but all four Sunni Mad’habs unanimously agree and accept the principle of abrogation. To discuss more to the views of scholars regarding this concept, we are able to distinguish it in to two. First is non Muslim scholars views and the second one is Muslim scholars views. By looking non Muslim scholars views at beginning the Christian and Jews have denied to accept the concept of abrogation according to the Al-Sarakhsi and Dr. Sheikh Wahbah Al-Zuhaili. The second views is a Muslim scholars views regarding this doctrine, as I previously mentioned most of Islamic jurists including the Imams of four Sunni schools have no doubt the existence of abrogation in the Shari’ah, nevertheless some early and modern Muslim scholars specially scholars who are experts to the interpretation of the Qur’an have tried to make some exceptions or deny this concept. One of those scholars is Abu Muslim Al-Asfahaani who lived during 4th century, he has permitted the abrogation, but he prohibited to make it as evidence role, some Muslim scholars believe that he was one of Muctasila scholars and what he disagrees was pronunciation and how to name this doctrine, he named the abrogation Takhsiis.
There are four types of abrogation in term of legal ruling. Qur’an abrogates by Qur’an, Sunnah abrogates by Sunnah. Qur’an abrogates by Sunnah, and Sunnah abrogates by Qur’an. For example Qur’an abrogating by Qur’an Allah said in Surah Al-Baqarah 234 . Most of
In John C. Calhoun’s “Speech on the reception of abolition petitions “he is expressing his views on why the movement of the abolitionist is not good for the country. Throughout the speech he is trying to prove the fact that African American’s are not equal to the white man because they are not smart enough to adopt our institutions. His racial charged words and being a great orator in his time worked in his favor for the senate to persuade the government why they should not change the southern traditions. According to Calhoun who had a deep hate for the reformist groups he did not believe that African Americans were included in the DOI because he still thought of them as savages that could not mix with the whites. He also thought the exclusion
When a group uses religious ideology to control a population, the religious texts, in the case the Qur’an, are usually interpreted to suit the agenda of the group, because “they have different values and beliefs”2. The reason that the texts are used and intentionally misinterpreted is fairly obvious. Iran, where 99% of the population is Muslim, coupled with the fact that Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the word of god, one who can...
It is divided into 4 key areas, laws relating to personal acts of worship, laws relating to commercial dealings, laws relating to marriage and divorce and penal laws. Compared to the 10 Commandments which is concise and simple, the Sharia Law is quite extensive and goes into personal matter such as hygiene, diet, dress code and sexual matters, whereas the 10 Commandment primarily cover ways to avoid sin. The 10 Commandments and the Sharia Law both condemn idolatry, murder, adultery, theft, the intentional desire and longing for immoral sexuality and the wanting or taking of someone’s property. The Qur’an has stated multiple punishments for not following the Sharia Law, these include beheading/crucifixion (Qur’an 5:33), flogging (Qur’an 24:2) and hellfire (Qur;an 40:70-72). This is different to the 10 Commandments as there are no punishments for not following the 10 Commandments. Although the 10 Commandments and the Sharia Law are two different aspects of the ethical dimension of Catholicism and Islam, through the evaluation of those ethical rules, there are a number of similarities and difference noted which link the two religions
Religious Freedom Restoration Act In this paper I will describe the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. This Act was used to contradict the decision of the court case of Employment Division v. Smith, which allowed the government to forbid any religious act without giving a reason. The RFRA brought back the requirement that the government provide an adequate reason to forbid any religious act. The government once again had to show that the act was of compelling interest to the state.
Soon, he began to question, and ultimately oppose these “material expressions” that Justinian had so cherished. The Muslim faith barred all such icons or “material expressions” from their mosques and practices. Perhaps, Leo believed that the success of the Muslim armies was due to God’s displeasure with such practices in the Roman Church. Ultimately, Leo and many others believed that God’s prohibition in the Ten Commandments – “Thou shalt not make any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them” (Exodus 20:”4-5) – applied literally to all such material expressions. Thus began a great movement against the use of these material expressions in religion known as iconoclasm, or the practice of destroying religious images. The word originates from the Greek eikon (“icon” or “image”) and klao (to “break” or
...Bible, John 15:17). Abortion is the opposite of these teachings. It is a destruction of the helpless rather than a rescue of them.
Abortions have been a much known topic for the century in the United States. It is a topic that has been debated on whether or not it should be illegal. Some people think that to have an abortion is a sin. Some think that women who abort children are evil, and are murderers. Often they do not understand the reason on why babies are aborted. It requires our immediate attention because each day and year, there are many children that are aborted and less babies that are able for adoption. Soon to be mothers are often affected by this problem. Abortions should be outlawed all together. There needs to be a solution to this problem.

The process of book banning takes a while and sometimes even fails. The reader has to find things in the book that are discrepancies. Like racial themes, alternate lifestyles, profanity, sex, violence, negativity, witchcraft, unpopular religious views, unpopular political views, or anything that the reader feels isn’t suitable for a certain age group. If there is one or more of those things in that book it is ready to go through the banning process. To start the process the book must be “challenged” by a parent. A challenge is an attempt to ban a book. If a book is banned it means it cannot be read by certain age groups. Book banning can be removed.
Austin purports that law is legally valid where it is issued by a someone (i.e. a Sovereign) who is habitually obeyed, with consequential sanctions if its subjects do not comply with it (“command theory”). Sanctions are key to his theory of validity as without them, commands would be no more than requests. This posited an antiseptic separation between law and morality (Kellogg 2007, p.-36).
Qur’an is a scripture “God’s message and revelation to the human race that by time became a written book” that was send not only for a certain place or certain time, but to everyplace and every time. The closest meaning to the word Qur’an is recite and yet, it is still doesn’t have the same meaning in Arabic. The Qur’an was reveled in Hijaz. Hijaz is the old name of Arabia that covers Mecca and Madina. Qur’an is God’s words reveled to Prophet Muhammad by angel Gabriel.
The four sources of Shari’a included Qur’an, Hadith, analogy and consensus. The Qur’an and Hadith are the two primary sources, and analogy and consensus represented the interpretation of the law. The Qur’an, which originally was written by the Prophets, recorded Muhammad’s own examples of facing the confliction of life. In the sixth century, the Qadi (judge) endowed Qur’an with legal meaning. Thus, Qur’an eventually represented the principle of the rules of daily life for Muslims. Hadith originally represented the collection of Muhammad’s saying and behaviors under certain circumstances. Because there has been 600,000 Hadith since the sixth century, Al-Bukhari and other tradition collectors started evaluating the internal evidence of the Hadith and determining whether those traditions were worth to be passed through generations. After the evaluation, only 2700 Hadith was included in al-Bikhari’s collection. Therefore, the Qadi and ulama (religious scholar) determined the Qur’an and Hadith to be the standards of legal practice.

Abortion has been a method since at least ancient history. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 22 weeks of pregnancy. There are multiple ways a woman can have an abortion, however the one most commonly used is the suction abortion. The suction dismembers the baby while sucking their body parts through a tube. I feel strongly that abortion should be illegal because it can result in medical complications, psychological trauma, the fetus can feel pain, and abortion is murder.
