Exploring the Islamic model of legitimacy and law compliance as a tool against digital piracy

Digital piracy, concerning the law, is viewed as illegal, though this is not the case, according to the social contexts. A large part of scientific research addressed this issue by studying the human behaviour to explore the motives and determinants of the act of piracy to grapple with through appropriate legal means. The other part of research focused on the reasons that hold people back from observing the law and, hence, fail to comply with its principles.The main premise of these literature is that the legal orientations or domains of legal socialization, such as legitimacy and legal cynicism, influence compliance with the law and criminal offending. Moreover, prior findings indicated that Muslim societies manifest a high level of religious loyalty compared to other world religious groups which is reflexively expressed into their adherence to Shari'ah rules (Islamic Law).Thereby, can be used as an informal mechanism to fight digital piracy. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of in depth examination of that phenomenon and how it affects positively Muslims' legal orientation. This paper addresses these issues from a psychological jurisprudence perspective to elucidate the underlying factors and their through interactions. The results show that the practice of Islam as a life style whereby beliefs, rituals, along with all aspects of real life are enveloped in wholeness as devotions, dynamically fuel the process of loyalty and positively impacts Muslims' legal orientation.As such, this paper presents an inclusive religious loyalty-based model of legal socialization, law compliance and self-abiding society for Muslim countries. The model integrates procedural justice theory with the Islamic view of faith (Iman) and loyalty (Al-Wala'a) as deduced from Al-Qur'an and Sunnah to describe all the motivations influencing the Muslims' decisions to comply or not with a given law

Aspects of political, economic and social life in the era of Imam Al-Tawudi

Discussing a scholarly figure that is known in the Maliki school of thought - and whose name was associated with one of the most important explanations in Khalil’s Mukhtasar- requires any researcher of Maliki jurisprudence to present the general conditions in which Imam al- Tawudi lived in, and to shed a light on some crucial aspects, especially knowing that he was one of the scholars of Faz city in Morocco (died 1209AH), where the scholars have a special presence and a distinguished position in this school of thought. He also had a prominent presence in the events that happened in Morocco during that period. Henceforth, this study aims to shed a light on aspects of this era to know the environment in which the Imam was raised and how it impacted him. This study (Aspects of the political, economic and social life in the era of Imam Al-Tawudi) is divided into two sections; the first section includes a general background of Imam Al-Tawudi bin Souda, and the second section discussed the circumstances accompanying the life of Imam Al-Tawudi. The second section is divided into four subsections namely, the political aspect, the economic aspect, the social aspect, and cases of religious issues that were discussed by the scholars in that period. The researcher used the historical, the descriptive, and the inductive method to reach the goals of this study

Food allergy consumption according to halalan tayyiban perspective: a review

Food allergies are the effects of a detrimental reaction from the body's immuntive system on certain types of food that are considered harmful to the body. Food allergies are also considered a critical issue in food safety and food quality management systems. In fact, the issue of food allergy consumption is also discussed from the aspects of medical and food industry to prevent any risk of consuming food that is harmful to consumers. Generally, the implementation of the concept of ‘halalan tayyibban’ only focuses on the study of raw materials, food processing activities and storage of final ingredients from illegal, clean and safe to be eaten elements. However, this aspect of food allergy intake is not discussed comprehensively based on the perspective of ‘Halalan Tayyiban’. Therefore, this article uses a qualitative approach through document analysis to describe the importance of consuming allergic foods according to the perspective of ‘halalan tayyiban’ in-depth. In addition, the aspects of food allergy control and management through food quality management system are also discussed. This study also suggests that the assessment of risk analysis and food allergy management be discussed in more depth according to the Islamic perspective based on the sources of the Quran and hadith. Hence, this study will have a positive impact on improving the halal auditing process and strengthening the integrity of food product status in line with the concept of ‘halalan tayyiban.
