About this title

Synopsis

In a Muslim state, decisions on questions relating to ceasefire, peace settlement and the judgment of prisoners of war can be taken by the executive or political authority or by a subordinate authority appointed by the former authority. The result in Islamic jurisprudence is: if a Muslim carries out an attack voluntarily, he becomes a murderer and not a martyr or a hero and he will be punished for it in the Next World. "Defending the transgressed by censuring the reckless against the killing of Civilians" is a comprehensive essay offering opinions on the issue of targeting civilians and civilian centres in an era of suicide bombing. The delicate issues tackled in this booklet are based on an article by Al-Muhajiroun which states that those Muslims living abroad are not under the Covenant of Security that apply to Muslims living in the West. - Dr Al-Akiti’s areas of expertise are Islamic theology, philosophy and science. He is preparing for publication the results of his project, ‘New conversations on Christian-Muslim political thought, supported by the McDonald Agape Foundation and Oxford's Fell Fund. He is also finishing his own book project, 'Al-Ghazali's Madnun: An Introduction to His Philosophical and Scientific Corpus, with the Text of the Major Madnun'. Dr Al-Akiti trained as a theologian and philologist in both the Islamic and Western traditions. Educated originally at the feet of the ulema of the Muslim world, he subsequently received a First Class degree in Scholastic Philosophy and History of Science from the Queen’s University of Belfast, where he was awarded various scholarships to read for his Masters degree and then DPhil in Medieval Arabic Thought as a Clarendon Scholar in 2008.
