In my article related to Islamic Fiqh/Jurisprudence, I attempted to define what exactly Fiqh is.
It is a misnomer to attribute Fiqh to merely mean law, per the common linguistic definition of law in most legal systems today.
I've recently released a batch of 3 articles, the first of which is my introduction to Tahqiq: the science of manuscript verification/authentication.
This should be of interest to Islamic students and academics alike:
Feedback always welcome.
A common misnomer people have is that Maktaba Shamela consists of the entire Islamic text corpus which has been digitized.
This is false.
There's a massive number of Islamic texts that are scanned PDFs only.
There's an even greater number of Islamic texts that remain in book form only.
And there's a large, dispersed corpus of manuscripts that are not published.
I haven't done a #FollowFriday list in a while. Here are some of my favorite #HumanRights accounts (in alphabetical order):

How to embrace a normative system seemingly incompatible with nomadic life, given that it presupposes a state governed by an Islamic ruler (imām) and considers the city the natural environment of legal institutions?
Ismail Warscheid (CNRS-IRHT, https://www.irht.cnrs.fr/fr/annuaire/warscheid-ismail) reads the _Book of the Desert (Kitāb al-Bādiya)_, a nineteenth-century legal treatise composed by Muḥammad al-Māmī (d. 1282/1865), a Muslim scholar from the Tiris desert in present-day Mauritania. And, by looking at Bedouin Islam, he challenges the narratives of center-periphery that have dominated Islamic intellectual history.

In #Islamicstudies there is a subject called Usul al Fiqh (Principles of Law/Jurisprudence). Combined with #islamicHistory, the 2 show us not only the sources of law, but how it was implemented (eg. cases of the ruler being tried under the law).
Contrast that with our modern reality and how laws are:
- complicated
- arbitrary
- selectively enforced
This applies at the human and state level.
If laws have no application after a certain wealth/power level, is there any real justice?
