    Reconstructing Society in the Light of Sūrat al- Ḥujurāt: Protecting Society from Malicious Tongue
    (Islamic Studies, 2023) Hossain, ASM; Salama, M. A. R
    Muslims face numerous challenges that threaten their social cohesion, including the harmful misuse of speech. Given the gravity of this issue, this study explores a path toward social reform by integrating the values of Sūrat al-Ḥujurāt into society through the lens of social reconstruction philosophy. Specifically, it examines verses 11 and 12 of Sūrat al-Ḥujurāt, which address speech-related social ills such as backbiting, ridicule, and name-calling. These verses also outline a process of self-development that fosters mutual respect and brotherhood, thereby reducing the likelihood of internal conflicts among Muslims. Through a qualitative analysis, this study highlights the pivotal role of Sūrat al-Ḥujurāt in safeguarding society from the destructive effects of the tongue.

    Verbal Semantics in Islamic Jurisprudence: ʿAbd Al-Raḥmān Nāṣir Al-Siʿdī’s Contributions to The Study of Dalālāt Al-Alfāẓ
    (International Journal of Fiqh and Usul al-Fiqh Studies, 2024) Ganai, Maasid Siddiq Mohiyuddin; Salama, M. A. R
    This paper explores the contributions of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Nāṣir al-Siʿdī to the understanding of Dalālāt al-Alfāẓ (Verbal Semantics) within the framework of the principles of Islamic jurisprudence. As a distinguished scholar in Uṣūl al-Fiqh, al-Siʿdī's work sheds light on the nuanced relationship between linguistic expressions and their implications in deriving legal rulings. By analysing al-Siʿdī’s scholarly output, the paper highlights how his insights into the semantics of Arabic lexicon contribute to a deeper comprehension of Islamic law and its application. Al-Siʿdī's meticulous attention to the context, grammatical structure, and etymology of words demonstrates his profound commitment to uncovering the intended meanings of the Sharī'ah. This research not only underscores al-Siʿdī's legacy in Islamic legal theory but also illustrates the pivotal role of language in the epistemology of Islamic jurisprudence. This paper employs a qualitative research approach, focusing on a thorough textual analysis of al-Siʿdī’s scholarly works, specifically his contributions to the study of Dalālāt Al-Alfāẓ (the implications of words) within Islamic jurisprudence. This paper concludes by stating that al-Siʿdī’s contributions to Uṣūl al-Fiqh not only enrich the Islamic scholarly tradition but also serves as a guide for addressing modern legal and ethical dilemmas through the prism of Islamic law. His legacy offers a foundation for future scholarly exploration, promising to extend the understanding and application of Islamic jurisprudence in diverse contemporary contexts.
