SUMMARY:The Utility of Analogical Reasoning for Knowing God in the Secular Age: A Nursian Perspective
DESCRIPTION:  \nIbn Arabi’s famous statement to Imam Razi that knowing God is different from knowing His existence is generally held true among Muslims. Ideally\, knowing God entails for Muslims building a connection with Him through a recognition of His attributes. The Islamic tradition has developed many methods to enable this recognition and connection\, but the advent of modernity mostly dismantled the institutional structures wherein those methods could be operationalized. The famous scholar of Islam from the late Ottoman Empire and early Turkish Republic\, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi (1878-1960)\, revitalized one such method with Qur’anic foundations and prevalence among the earlier generations of Muslims to deliver knowledge of God in the adverse conditions of the “Secular Age.” Based on the concurrence of the information that can be attained from the Qur’an\, the Prophetic example\, empirical observation of the cosmos\, and the human self\, this method Nursi called “analogical reasoning” (kıyas-ı temsilî) appears uniquely versatile in inferring what he claimed to be “demonstrative” knowledge about God and His creation from observed reality. In this presentation\, we will try to understand the foundations of Nursi’s method of analogical reasoning. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Mustafa Tuna\nTitle: The Utility of Analogical Reasoning for Knowing God in the Secular Age: A Nursian Perspective\nDate: February 15\, 2025 (Saturday)\nTime: 3pm Mecca/Istanbul\nTo get the link to the event\, please click the link below to register\nhttps://maqasid.org/research-forum/

SUMMARY:Maqāṣid al-Sharīʻah vs. Conventional Perspectives: Examining the Eligibility Criteria for Regulatory Capital Instruments
DESCRIPTION:This lecture examines the intersection between Maqāṣid al-Sharīʻah perspective and conventional perspective with respect to wealth protection and the stability and resilience of financial systems in absorbing shocks and maintaining vital services. \n  \nUsing regulatory capital instruments as a case study\, the lecture highlights both the similarities in the overall objectives of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʻah and conventional perspectives\, and the stark differences regarding eligibility criteria for these instruments. Specifically\, the lecture will focus on four criteria: the nature of the instrument used in structuring AT1 regulatory capital\, the hierarchy of the instrument in relation to CET1 and other instruments\, the nature of profit distribution and coupon payments\, and the loss absorption mechanisms. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nDr. Madaa Mustafa \nIndependent Islamic Finance Consultant  \nMadaa Munjid served as a division director in the Department of Participation Finance.

He currently works as an independent consultant for Sharīʻah-related matters in Islamic finance. \nMadaa obtained his PhD in Islamic finance from the Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance (IIiBF) and his second Master’s Degree in Islamic Finance from International Centre for Education in Islamic Finance (INCEIF).

SUMMARY:Full Reserve Banking aiming to eliminate High Inflation\, massive Government Debt\, Interest cost and Unemployment
DESCRIPTION:Pakistan is currently grappling with high inflation\, massive government debt\, and soaring interest costs. To address these issues\, a new proposal advocates for the implementation of full reserve banking. This approach aims to transform the financial landscape by completely separating money from credit\, potentially eliminating government debt and reducing interest costs. \nFull reserve banking\, endorsed by economists like Milton Friedman\, would enable the State Bank of Pakistan to control money creation more effectively. This system ensures banks act as true intermediaries and helps enhance financial stability by reallocating funds to productive investments. It aligns with Islamic finance principles of equity\, transparency\, and risk-sharing\, promoting ethical and sustainable economic growth. \nBy adopting full reserve banking\, Pakistan could achieve immediate relief from debt burdens and move towards a more inclusive and stable financial future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nBy Mr. Qanit Khalilullah  \nA Highly Experienced Finance Expert\, Business Leader\, and Economist \nQanit is an accomplished finance and business leader with expertise in financial\, supply chain\, and tax management. His notable roles include Head of Internal Audit at Unilever Pakistan and Executive Vice President at Ufone. A Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan and England & Wales\, and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) UK\, he also completed a Senior Leadership program at Harvard Business School. Currently an Executive Director at a consulting firm\, he is also a member of the Accounting Standards Board and Chairman of the Audit Committee at the Character Education Foundation. His specializations include economics\, public policy\, financial planning\, and business advisory. \n\n\n\n\n\nTitle: Full Reserve Banking aiming to eliminate High Inflation\, massive Government Debt\, Interest cost and Unemployment \nDate: September 12\, 2024\nTime; 17.00 Makkah/Istanbul\nOnline via ZOOM\nTo get the link to the event\, please click the link below to register\nhttps://maqasid.org/?ff_landing=14

SUMMARY:Maqasid Institute's Research Forum - 2nd session
DESCRIPTION:Spirituality in Social Work: Why and How the Needs for Faith and Quest for Meaning Should be Addressed in Counseling \nAn initial observation is that social work currently faces a crisis. Psychological and social issues affect numerous people\, and institutional responses often fail to provide a sustainable and efficient solution to their suffering. For example\, the social reintegration of ex-prisoners is low\, as is the recovery of drug addicts. Even in countries that allocate large sums of money to social intervention schemes\, excluded and vulnerable people suffering from various psychological and sociological problems have difficulty getting out. It could therefore be hypothesized that social action systems remain ineffective in most cases. \nSecondly\, we notice that the social and psychological aid services are in most cases based on a materialistic vision of the human being. Institutional social work and psychological counseling ignore in most cases the spiritual and religious dimension when they are not downright hostile to it. Moreover\, their underlying belief system or intellectual assumption often ignores the spiritual dimension while promoting a materialist view of the world. In this regard\, the expectation of beneficiaries to find the “meaning of life” or a reason to endure suffering often remains unanswered. \nNevertheless\, some counterexamples show concern for faith-based intervention social work and counseling practices or healing traditions incorporating religious or spiritual elements. While some of these approaches are linked to particular religious denominations\, others simply consider the spiritual dimension without being attached to a specific religion. For example\, a socio-educational home is intended for the “healing” of drug addicts by proposing an approach that incorporates spiritual aspects by carefully considering the question of the “meaning” of life (Albrecht). Clearly acknowledging the “spiritual development” as being part of the promoted method to help drug addicts and focusing on the “quest for meaning”\, this example seems particularly interesting to think about what could be a “spiritual” approach to social work. If various social work programs explore the spiritual dimension\, it seems that most of them remained attached to religious organizations (Loue\, 2017). Moreover\, a few cases highlight an “Islamic” way of doing social work (Warden\, 2013). However\, so-called “Islamic” approaches are likely to remain superficial when they do not risk remaining superficial (see for instance Barise\, 2005; Krafess\, 2005)\, as they are not based on a framework founded on a holistic approach to the sacred texts (Quran and ahâdith). \nIn response to these gaps\, this presentation aims at proposing a definition of what could be called an “Islamic” approach to intervention in the area of social work and counseling. For doing this\, it first proposes a reflection on the plural nature of man\, which implies a spiritual dimension whose needs have to be considered by psychological and social work practices. Secondly\, it reflects on the ways an Islamic approach could be framed in both a holistic and teleological approach\, using the Maqâsid methodology (Auda\, 2021).
