My notes on Fiqh 3
Shariah rulings are divided into 3 types:
1. Dururi-The necessity
Everything that threatens the existence of the 5 Universals
2. Haji-The need (but one would live with or without it)
Without the haji the individual lives in hardship
3. Tahsini-The ornaments
These are the things that make life enjoyable
3 levels of Ijtihad
1. Ijtihad al Mutlaq-absolute Ijtihad (using your own methodology)
2. Ijtihad takhriji-Derivatives Ijtihad (using anothers methodology)
3. Intiqai-Shifting ijtihad (choosing the best applicapble ruling of the past for a given situation or general applicability)
The shariah comes to protect these 5 Universals:
1. Preservation of Religion
2. Preservation of Life
3. Preservation of Intellectual
4. Preservation of Property
5. Preservation of Lineage
A faqih must take into consideration when giving fatwa:
1. time-for different circumstances
2. place-the culture, 'urf wa'ada
Usul al-fiqh (usul=foundation, fiqh=understanding)
the technical meaning of usul al-fiqh:
1. A methodology to drive rulings (furu') from the roots (usul) about the branches (furu')
2. Usul al-fiqh is also about how we drive rulings from the sources (Quran and Sunnah) when there is a text (verses or hadith) and when there is not becouse a ruling still needs to be driven
History of the stages of usul al-fiqh:
1. First stage: Duru Sama'- the experience (hearing) of the revelation of Quran and hadith- lasting for 100 years
2. Second stage: Duru Jama'-the period of gathering (of what was heard in period 1) in written or oral form-khalifa Abdul-aziz order, this period ended 102 years after hijrah
3. Third stage: Duru fiqh- the period of fiqh, for example Imam Shafii risalah
Rules are divided in 4 ways:
1. The qawl-the words of the prophet saw (Quran or Hadith)
2. The fe'el-the actions of the prophet saw
3. the taqrirab-the things he (saw) confirmed either by being silent or condoned it
4. The maqasid of sharia-Understanding the universals to use them as methods for driving rules, this can be done when you understand the purpose (maqsid) of the shariah.
i. Masaleh al-mursala (when there is benefit in the absence of a text),there are two types:1. Mu'tabara (essential to shariah) and 2. Mulqa (not essential therefore not to be considered)
ii. 'Urf wa'ada (e.g: different people use different words for divorcing their women)
iii. Istihsan (the role of the intellectual)
iv. Sadda daraya (cutting the pretext)
v. Qiyas(using an existing example from shariah and apply it to a new things example: ecstasy and khamr

My notes on Fiqh 2
The Imams on taking a hadith from sahaba:
Imam shafi'i didnt take the hadith of a sahabi as proof, the other 3 imam did. But Imam abu Hanifa take the action of the sahabi over the words. example of this: Imam Ali(ra) relates a hadith that the prophet(saw) came from ruku he would raise his hand, but because the description of Imam Ali(ra) prayer showed that he didnt raise his hands, abu Hanifa take Imam Ali(ra) action over his words.

My notes on Fiqh
Alfasi explained in his work "al fikr as-sani" that there were 4 periods of fiqh:
1. At the period of revelation
The Companions had direct access to the sources:Quran and Sunnah (The Prophets SAW words, deeds, and aproval)
2. After the prophet SAW
The companions gave fatwa based on what they learned during the period of revelation. A new source developed--> Ijma'a (this could only happen after the prophet SAW had passed away). This was also the case with Qiyas which developed in the second shape.
3. The period of Tabi'un
Different school is developing in the ummah. Imam malik, imam abu hanifah, etc. All of them had different methodology (example, Imam Malik's methodology was 'amal ahl al-medina, also masalah al-mursala when there is great benefit for the society in the absence of text (istihsan, the proof for masalah al-mursala is the collecting of the Quran in a mushaf). Imam Malik also took Sadda' ddaraya (e.g not cursing others God) also Alloh SWT forbid women from shaking their jewlery.
4. Taqlid Period, repetition of the earlier generations (e.g non creative).
In short there are 4 phases:
1. Period of revelation
2. Period of gathering
3. Period of fiqh
4. Repetition of the earlier generations (non creative), mastering their opinions.
3 Reasons why the 4 Imams could interpret hadiths differently:
1. The differ on the chain (isnad)of a hadith
2. Difference of interpretation of the meaning of hadith
3. That the hadith were abrogated

Global Halal Standards Urged
IslamOnline.net & News Agencies
"It shouldn't be one academy or one academic somewhere in Saudi Arabia coming up with what is halal or not," Khairy said.
KUALA LUMPUR — A Malaysian industry leader has urged Muslim countries to create a global standard for the halal food industry to clear confusions over conflicting religious rulings and boost the already booming industry.
"There should be industry-driven global halal standards as opposed to some cleric sitting somewhere and completely out of touch with private sector and the food industry, deciding on what is halal and what isn't," Khairy Jamaluddin, chairman of the World Halal Forum (WHF), was quoted as saying by Reuters.
"It shouldn't be one academy or one academic somewhere in Saudi Arabia coming up with what is halal or not because these people have no clue on what goes into processing foods."
Khairy, the son-in-law of Premier Abdullah Badawi, said current standards for halal products vary among countries, sometimes confusing consumers and forcing producers to undergo repeated certification processes in nations with different regulations.
"There needs to be a greater understanding of the various aspects of halal accreditation, of such products and service, as well as ensuring that there can be uniformity and homogeneity in the application of halal standards, globally," Trade Minister Rafidah Aziz said in a speech this week.
Attracting a huge sector of non-Muslim consumers, the global halal industry, currently estimated by Malaysia to be worth $547 billion, is expected to soon hit the impressive mark of one trillion dollars.
The concept of halal -- meaning permissible in Arabic -- has traditionally been applied to food.
Muslims should only eat meat from livestock slaughtered by a sharp knife from their necks, and the name of Allah, the Arabic word for God, must be mentioned.
Now other goods and services can also be certified as halal, including cosmetics, clothing, pharmaceuticals and financial services.
Pragmatic
Khairy, a leading figure in the Malaysian ruling National Front coalition, said educating Muslim scholars on the needs of a global industry would not be easy, citing seafood as a case in point.
He said some scholars regard all seafood as halal while others believe lobster, shrimp and eels are not.
Opinions also differed on whether seafood was halal when caught live or found dead.
Even food containing emulsifiers, gelatine and enzymes are subject to debates between the food industry and scholars because the origins of these ingredients are not always known.
"A lot of science and research needs to go into this," said Khairy.
He stressed that scholars need to fully examine the origins of additives and food processing methods before issuing fatwas on the halal status of different foods.
The WHF annual meeting, to be held in Kuala Lumpur in May, will gather experts, industry and government officials from more than 30 countries.
The two-day forum will discuss challenges and business opportunities such as ingredients and manufacturing for the halal market.
Malaysia, a mainly Muslim country, is becoming globally recognized as the world’s halal food hub.
Halal food production zones are already operating or being built in six Malaysian states, and a sprawling halal distribution hub has been built at a duty-free shipment zone in southern Johor state, on the busy Malacca strait.
In 2004, Malaysia launched a bi-monthly magazine, The Halal Journal, as the first trade and business publication serving the global halal market.

Xylitol - Birch Sugar

Xylitol is natural sugar derived from plants-fruits or vegetables. In Finland mostly it is extracted from birch trees, hence its called birch sugar. Thin invention by Finnish chemists enables children to consume candies as much as they like, which teeth still intact.
The most up to date research has shown that regular chewing of xylitol gum reduces by half among children´s painful ear infections at day carecenters. Ear infections, transmitted from a child to another, are a serious problem at Finnish day carecenters, a necessary institution for working woman having their equal opportunities.
At day carecenters children learn to sing, play and go out under the supervision of trained nursery school teachers. It also helps single born child to interrelate and social interact with others.

Blography

We have all witnessed how people are interconnected each other from different place apart thousand of kilometers. I guess it has been so successful in meeting different personalities, tastes, expectations and needs through their shared stories. For beginer like me I can easily surf through many kind hearted bloggers who willing to share their knowledge inside and out.
And now, what I ve been doing with this essay, I can say it is very excellent:)

Naked as we came
She says wake up it's no use pretending
I'll keep stealing breathing her
Birds are leaving over Autumn's ending
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open
Naked as we came
One will spread our
Ashes round the yard
She says if I leave before you darling
Don't you waste me in the ground
I lay smiling like our sleeping children
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open
Naked as we came
One will spread our
Ashes round the yard
I'll keep stealing breathing her
Birds are leaving over Autumn's ending
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open
Naked as we came
One will spread our
Ashes round the yard
She says if I leave before you darling
Don't you waste me in the ground
I lay smiling like our sleeping children
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open
Naked as we came
One will spread our
Ashes round the yard
Creative writing 1
Did you know that there are more funy way of using dictionary? more than looking new vocabulary, definition or even spelling. Todd Walton and Mindy Toomay on their book suggest us to explore its multiple meanings and uses.
Here I will only describe one of it, what so called "the random word". Simply you can start it by open your dictionary at random, then without looking, bring the tip of your finger down on the page. Then continue by reading all the definitions for the word your finger landed on. If you find any unfamiliar words in these definitions, look them up too. Finaly you can begin a session of free writing with a sentence containing the word you choose. To make it more challenging, you can randomly select seven words in this way and use them all as a letter to a friend...
Dare to try?

Living in Joensuu
Have you heard Joensuu before? If no I somehow can say yes, before I came here it was a sort of mystery to me, I m going alone somewhere I have never known before, it was a kind of an adventure for me but I was not shocked to go for it.
Literally Joensuu means mouth of the river, located on the eastern part of Finland. The cold and quiet city create the peaceful feeling for anyone who visit it.
Joensuu is a city dotted with lakes, the fact that flourish its beauty, its well organised and easy to adapt to since the people are polite and helpful. Although sometimes Fins can be so quiet and passive, but once you know them personally, she or he will be your very truth friend.
Believe it or not in Joensuu or let say in Finland the climate stands as the most influential element in the Finnish social life. In the long winter period it is dark and cold people tend to look unhappy in addition that the heavy clothes everyone wears makes the scene look sad, in summer time it is amazingly different people and nature seems to revive again, what a paradox!
I may say Joensuu is home for any student who’s looking for credible study place, good friends, cheap internet services and lots of sauna. SO why don’t you find the beauty, spirit and culture with your own eyes your self in Joensuu at any season you like! Heihei…
