We are proud to announce the most recent work of KARAMAH scholar, Dr. Zainab Alwani.  Dr. Alwani\u2019s article, Maqasid Qur\u2019aniyya: A Methodology on Evaluating Modern Challenges and Fiqh al-Aqalliyyat,<\/a> <\/em><\/strong>was published in September of this year in The Muslim World: Special Issue on \u201cJudaism and Islam in America.\u201d <\/em>This work was part of a joint four year project by Dr. Alwani and Professor Burton Visotzky of the Jewish Theological Seminary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the special journal, there are eleven short articles, four from Muslim scholars, and seven from Jewish scholars. The special journal examines how to remain true to theological values and beliefs within the modern context. Among the topics of focus were the continuation of ijtihad<\/em>, interpretation of the Qur\u2019an, and the maqasid<\/em> of philosophy and ethics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Alwani\u2019s article on Maqasid Qur\u2019aniyya<\/em><\/strong> discusses a paradigm her father, Dr. Taha Jabir al-Alwani, sets forth. The article focuses on Dr. Taha al-Alwani\u2019s thought and works on the concept of al-maqasid al-qur\u2019aniyya<\/em> (the Qur\u2019anic objectives). In her piece, Dr. Alwani \u201cclarifies his methodology, for how to interact with the Qur\u2019an, the sunnah<\/em>, and the turath <\/em>(the Islamic legacy), as well as describes his approach to al-maqasid al-qur\u2019aniyya<\/em>.\u201d In this article, Dr. Zainab Alwani furthermore expounds upon her father\u2019s methodology and extends it to issues of gender and family. Dr. Alwani says about her father\u2019s work, \u201cal-Alwani\u2019s understanding of the Qur\u2019an and sunnah<\/em>, which enables him to read and examine the turath <\/em>with a critical eye, reveals the need for a new way to review this legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mark the publishing of this historic work, there will be a luncheon-colloquium on November 18th at the Jewish Theological Seminary (3080 Broadway, New York, NY) celebrating the conclusion of the four year project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KARAMAH warmly congratulates Dr. Alwani on her successful publication of such an important work.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
