Lexislamica Series – Book 1 – Islamic Law for the New Millennium
- by Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee (Author), M. Ibrahim Abdullah Khan Nyazee (Author)
The present book is a small introduction to the larger work to be published in small volumes, but as part of a series. This introduction explains the reason for the larger work, and places it in its proper perspective. The book visualizes modern Islamic law as the common law of all Muslims, a law that exists at the global level and is concerned with issues that may be found within individual states. For the details, this book is to be read. It has intentionally been kept very concise and brief. Rapid changes in the world, in the last few decades, have now created an opportunity for Islamic law to rise again. This rise of Islamic law for the new millennium will not be through the coercive power of a modern state or even through physical domination.
Lexislamica Series – Book 2 – The Original Meaning of Ḥanafī Uṣūl Al-Fiqh
- by Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee (Author), M. Ibrahim Abdullah Khan Nyazee (Author)
The texts of the Ḥanafī School on uṣūl al-fiqh written up to the end of the Fifth Century of the Hijrah show that the discipline of uṣūl al-fiqh was significantly different from what it turned out to be in the later centuries, which were more theoretical in nature as compared to the earlier texts. As Shāfi‘ī uṣūlīs started wielding greater influence, especially the promotion of a different concept of the Sunnah and a more literal approach, Ḥanafī writers probably went on the defensive and started incorporating ideas from Shāfi‘ī uṣūl. The purpose of this book is not to trace the historical development of uṣūl al-fiqh, but to merely identify what the early uṣūlīs like Jaṣṣaṣ, Dabbūsī and Sarakhsī had to say about the discipline of uṣūl al-fiqh.
Lexislamica Series – Book 3 – Defending the Frontiers of the Ḥanafī School
- by Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee (Author), M. Ibrahim Abdullah Khan Nyazee (Author)
This book has been written with the realization that more information is required on the strengths of the Ḥanafī School before presenting “The New Methodology.” The book, therefore, addresses the major contributions of the School, and those features that have been under attack by other schools in the previous centuries, along with those criticisms that are more recent. As the defensive aspect of the book gained prominence in the writing, it was thought appropriate to name it as “Defending the Frontiers of the Ḥanafī School.” This, then, will be the third book in the series.The present Lex Islamica series is on Islamic Jurisprudence or uṣūl al-fiqh, including legal maxims or qawā‘id fiqhiyyah. The focus is on the Ḥanafī School so as to keep matters clear and crisp and avoid confusions that sometimes result from comparative studies.
Lexislamica Series – Book 4 – The Methodology of Ijtihad: Old and New: (Comparative Jurisprudence)
- by Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee (Author)
The present book deals with a NEW METHODOLOGY for discovering the rules of Islamic Law required for solving modern problems. This book should be considered the first ever text on comparative jurisprudence that compares Islamic jurisprudence and Western law, especially English common law. The focus of the book is not on sources or theories of law or even on legal concepts. The purpose of the book, which makes it unique, is to analyze how the mind of the jurist works as it moves through the process that we call ijtihād. This process of reasoning in the mind of the jurist is compared at each step with the mind of the judge or lawyer as it tries to discover the law.
