This collection of essays assesses how contract laws throughout the Asia-Pacific region are facing challenges and transforming in response to the digital world. Certainly, the Asia-Pacific is a truly diverse region, but this book establishes the common grounds across jurisdictions, in terms of contract laws and the challenges posed by the digital world. Looking at contract law more generally - formation, terms and mitigating factors - in jurisdictions such as Australia, Malaysia, Japan, and Bangladesh, it offers rigorous doctrinal analysis of the laws in the region. Recognised experts share key insights which will influence the future of private law in the area.

Routledge Studies in Islamic Philosophy

Examining the emergence and development of the Far¿h¿ school of thought and its methodology, this book explores the four case studies of stoning, apostasy, hijab, and the return of Jesus.It demonstrates the reforming Far¿h¿ approach and divergence from traditional Islamic thought, tracing Far¿h¿ scholarship through the years, from Hamiduddin Farahi to Amin Ahsan Islahi and Javed Ahmad Ghamidi. Through the case studies the author analyses Far¿h¿ approach to the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and religion. For each case study, he looks at contested areas and critically reviews traditional approaches, evaluating various sources, including the Qur'an, Tafs¿rs from both Sunni and Shia scholars, ¿ad¿ths, and where applies Fiqh, before moving on to discussing the Far¿h¿ approach, including interviews with Javed Ahmad Ghamidi, the present academic leader of the approach. Each case study ends with comparative analysis, leading to extracting the methodological features of the Far¿h¿ school of thought at the end of the book. The book closes with a critical discussion of the methodology of the Far¿h¿ school of thought and a summary.The Farahi School and Reformist Islam is the first academic work to go beyond the Far¿h¿ school's theory of Qur'anic coherence, aiming to derive its methodological features through original analysis and a case study approach. It will appeal to advanced students and scholars of Islam, particularly those interested in Qur'anic exegesis and Islamic jurisprudence. It will be invaluable for those exploring new or reformist methodologies in deriving rules and concepts from the text, especially the approach of the Far¿h¿ school of thought. It will also be of considerable interest to general readers seeking insight into the background and evolving perspectives on any of the case study subjects addressed in the book.

Hijab, Apostasy, Stoning and the Return of Jesus

The Farahi School and Reformist Islam

At its zenith, the Islamic State was one of the most developed and powerful of the various militant organisations that have emerged within the Middle East in recent decades. Not limiting its objectives to organising mass casualty attacks, it constructed a complex system of administration, including an outreach department, which produced a large body of film, social media and literature. Of these, its flagship publication, Dabiq (later renamed Rumiyah), has been its most significant English-language output, and has the potential to tell us a great deal about its ideas and those of other non-state armed actors that claim to maintain some kind of relationship with Islam. Islam and the Islamic State begins by tracing out the emergence of the Islamic State. It locates its separatist appeal within the aftermath of the Iraqi invasion and the early years of the occupation--particularly the Coalition's successful efforts to prevent the formation of a unified national resistance movement. It then goes on to position the West's efforts to reveal its "true nature" within established narratives on the relationship between Islam and violence. This campaign of "ideological delegitimisation" lay at the heart of the military campaign to denude the so-called Caliphate and was, Tim Jacoby argues, central to a global attempt to downplay its quintessentially political motives. With this context in mind, the book this book seeks to understand what the Islamic State says about itself. Attempting to get beyond the moral opprobrium that characterises many other studies, it looks in detail at Dabiq/Rumiyah. The objective here is to analyse how this vital corpus of literature engages with Islamic exegeses--in terms of references to the Qur'an, classical scholarship and contemporary Muslims intellectuals. This reveals a complex and highly instrumental approach to the faith that was fundamentally driven by a determined claim to statehood.

Islam and the Islamic State

A trans-American cultural history of ideas of how in the 1960s and 70s the first generation of liberation theologians conceptualized a radical political theology. Representing those marginalized by modern politics and religion due to race, class, or sex status liberationists redefined the theo-political space and set the stage for new expressions of religious activism.
