“O, Zaria! You Have Become Just Like Karbala” : Race, Redemptive Suffering, and Affect in Shi‘i Devotional LiturgyThis article examines a Farsi-/Arabic-language devotional poem, which commemorates victims of violent clashes between the Nigerian army and members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria in Zaria in December 2015. In addition to comparing the persecution of Nigerian Shi‘is with the plight of Muslim hagiographic figures, the poem is significant in its emphasis on race. The article probes the role of Blackness in the constitution of affective bonds around narratives of redemptive suffering. I arguet hat purveyors of the devotional poem invoke Blackness to construct a narrative that is both particularly African and universally Shi‘i. This does not only kindle emotions of sympathy, but also triumphantly celebrates the spread of Shi‘ism beyond Islam’s historical heartlands. By contextualizing the narrative in relation to the globalized hyper-politicization of intra-Islamic sectarian identities, I argue that the emphasis on race is not part of a pro-Black shift, but a literary exemplification of Shi‘i triumphalism and an attempt to make sense of and cope with the “fear of small numbers” (Appadurai 2006) and the globalization of anti-Shi‘a sectarian violence.

The Ethics of CandidacyUsing a genealogical and Ijtehādi method, the present study explores the ethics of candidacy -Tarshih- and its decency or indecency impact on the elections as a whole. The main purpose of raising this idea is to give awareness to some candidates who are obsessed with the illusion of deontology about the indecency of their candidacy in the election process. The results of the study shows that candidacy as a part of the election process in the religious ideology is not free from jurisprudential and ethical norms so every person who has an indecent motivation is not permitted to be nominated for a position. There are many traditions that forbid a human from seeking governance and it is interpreted as greed and acquisitiveness for this world. On the other hand, some other traditions that confirm this request are so cautious about the degradation of ethical values. Reflection on the arguments for Tarshih can make those candidates participating in the election process due to worldly incentives or lack of qualification withdraw and thereby prevent the presence of disqualified people in this civil issue.

MODERN TİCARİ YAŞAMDA MÜSİAD ÜYESİ GİRİŞİMCİLERİN İŞ AHLAKI: DENİZLİ ÖRNEĞİ1990’lı yıllara değin, Türkiye’de muhafazakar-dindar kesimler arasında herhangi bir burjuva sınıfı mevcut değildi. Aksine, 1980’li yıllara değin, esnaf ve “geleneksel tüccar”ın Türk toplumunun dini - muhafazakar kesimleri arasında, özellikle Orta Anadolu’nun geleneksel şehirlerinde temel ekonomik aktörler olduğu söylenebilir. 1990 yılından başlayarak, Türkiye’nin çevre bölgelerin de, özellikle Konya, Kayseri, Yozgat ve Gaziantep gibi şehirlerinde “Anadolu Kaplanları” ya da “Yeşil Sermaye” olarak nitelendirilen yeni bir dini burjuvazi ya da girişimci kesimi yükselmeye başladı. Sonrasında, bu gelişmelerin paralelinde, Türk ve Batılı akademisyenler arasında Türk toplumunda bu yeni yükselmeye başlayan dini burjuvazinin gelişiminde önemli olduğu düşünülen sosyoekonomik faktörlere yönelik yükselen bir ilgi ortaya çıktı. Daha önceki akademik çalışmaların büyük bir kısmı devlet ve büyük işadamları arasındaki ilişkinin niteliği üzerineydi. Yeni yükselen girişimcilerin dinsel kimliklerinin tersine bu işadamlarının çoğu seküler yönelimli bir işadamları derneğinin (TÜSİAD) üyesiydi. İslam, Kapitalizm ve iş ahlakı arasındaki ilişki sorunsalını tartıştıktan sonra, bu çalışma Denizli’deki muhafazakâr girişimcilerin geleneksel değerleri ile modern piyasa koşullarında gerçekleştirdikleri ekonomik aktiviteler arasındaki ilişkiyi ele almayı amaçlar. Diğer bir deyişle, bu çalışma, kendi muhafazakar değerleri ile modern ekonomik aktiviteleri arasında uyumluluğu nasıl ve hangi yollarla sağladıklarını değerlendirmeyi amaçlar. Bu saha çalışması, 2010 yılında çoğunun MÜSİAD üyesi olduğu Denizlili girişimcilere uygulanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın temel tezini şu şekilde ifade edebiliriz: muhafazakâr iş adamlarının çağdaş piyasa ekonomisinde başarılı olmalarının temel nedeni geleneksel-muhafazakâr değerleri modern rasyonel girişimcilik kültürüyle bütünleştirmeleridir.

Examining the foundation of Islamic Organisational Citizenship Behaviour in Jordanian organisationsThe purpose of this paper is to examine the role that religion plays in the working lives of Muslim employees, by exploring the influences of Islamic values on employees Organisational Citizenship Behaviour. This is a largely quantitative study conducted in Jordanian organisations. The study introduces a theoretical model drawing parallels between Organisational Citizenship Behaviour and Islamic Work Ethics. The participants, comprising of employees of Jordanian public and private sectors, have been randomly invited to express their views on the possible penetration of Islamic values in the workplace. A Partial Least Squares approach alongside a bootstrapping technique was used to analyse the data. The validity of the measurement model was tested using the Fornell and Larcker criterion. Findings indicate that Islamic values do influence the citizenship behaviour, organisational commitment and loyalty to the organisation of employees. Motivated by religion employees are more likely to adopt discretionary citizenship-alike behaviours in the workplace and be loyal to their organisation. The scope of this study is limited by its primary focus of developing an Islamic perspective within the domain of Organisational Citizenship Behaviour, which utilises the Islamic Work Ethics framework rather than being grounded in Islamic holy texts. This paper not only provides a useful insight into the link between religious motivation, citizenship behaviour, and organisational commitment and loyalty, but also notes the influence of religion in the workplace.

Ethno-netnographies among Moroccan Islamist movements: Methodological and ethical dilemmasThis paper stems from my current PhD research on the impact of digitization and multilingualism in the Islamist movements in Morocco, developed in the framework of the program H2020 MSCA-ITN MIDA ("Mediating Islam in the digital age"). As part of a European project, publishing data in Open Access platforms is strongly encouraged. However, asking for publishing authorizations and sharing contents can be really challenging in an environment such as of social media platforms (Facebook, You Tube, Telegram, and so on) where privacy policies are constantly changing and are often unclear, where "identities" are fluid and volatile, and where the topics discussed are often in tension with the established political regime. Where are the boundaries of an ethical standpoint when the researcher has to deal on the one hand with a sensitive fieldwork and on the other with specific requests as part of an international research project? Moreover, dealing with a politico-religious community often surveilled online and offline by the Moroccan regime, lifts not only methodological problems (gaining trust when entering the field), but also ethical dilemmas (preserving the interlocutor´s identity, and the safety of the researcher´s data). This paper aims at bringing at the roundtable these different issues, related both, not only to the ethnographic case I am exploring, but also to my experience as a researcher within a European project.

Islamic virtue-based ethics for artificial intelligenceAbstract The twenty-first century technological advances driven by exponential rise of artificial intelligence (AI) technology have ushered in a new era that offers many of us hitherto unimagined luxuries and facilities. However, under the guise of this progressive discourse, particularly in the backdrop of current neo-liberal late-capitalist postmodern world, AI development also has prompted an increasingly uncertain ethical tomorrow. This paper aims to probe the question of ethics by exploring the true ramifications of AI and interrogating its various ethical dimensions. It questions the essential goodness that is attributed to unstinted AI development before elucidating the ethical repercussions of AI advancements and the aptness of the current market logics and business models that govern the tech-industry. The paper next positions a holistic Islamic virtue-based AI ethics framework grounded in the context of Islamic objectives (maqāṣid) as an alternative ethical system for AI governance. We argue that this distinctive Islamic virtue-based ethical approach, which can be used to explore AI-related ethical problems more holistically due to its ontological base and rich tradition while keeping in check undue influence from the current socio-politico-economic climate, can be a valuable addition to the global discourse on AI ethics.

What Does the Euthyphro Dilemma Reveal about the Nature of Allah?In their book, Good God: The Theistic Foundations of Morality, David Baggett & Jerry Walls discuss the nature of the God of Christianity by studying the Euthyphro dilemma. This paper shall follow Louise Antony, Walls, and Baggett’s model of the Euthyphro dilemma (Divine Command Theory) and uses it as an objective moral standard to study the nature of the theistic concept of divinity in Islam. After explaining the Euthyphro dilemma and making the distinction between voluntarism and extreme voluntarism. I shall argue that morality (what is good, right, bad, wrong, or evil) can easily be compromised on the extreme voluntarist view, unless it is constrained by the good nature of Allah. But, once the voluntarist nature of Allah is combined with some particular names/attributes (i.e., Ad-Ḍar and Al-Muḍil, Al-Mutakkabir, Al-Muntaqim, and Al-Qahar) and moral commands (i.e., Holy war, mutᶜa marriage, and adult breastfeeding), the morality of Allah is drastically compromised.

Can a "good Muslim" be a "bad person"?This article addresses the misconception that religious worship is separate from moral character, or that someone can be a “good Muslim” but a “bad person.” Faith in Islam, as described in the Qur’an and Sunnah, consists of not only a theological creed but also a set of character dispositions. The five pillars of Islam, which are the religion’s core rituals of worship, all contain moral dimensions that inform both a believer’s relationship to their Creator and to other created beings. It is a categorical error, then, to claim someone can simultaneously be a “good Muslim” and a “bad person” because a good Muslim believer is, by definition, a good person.

Heavenly Affection: Living the Love of Al-WadūdMost theistic religions, including Islam, affirm love as one of the divine attributes of God, our Creator. It is considered a virtue by many people to selflessly love others for God’s sake, or to love others as oneself. However, a common criticism we hear against Islam today is that Muslims allegedly worship an angry, vengeful, cold, distant, and unloving god who teaches them to hate all non-Muslims (we seek refuge in Allah from this misguided claim). In response to this accusation, we as Muslim believers must answer the following question: What is the proper understanding of Allah’s love in Islam? And how does Allah’s love inform the behavior of Muslim believers? This article will elaborate on Allah’s name al-Wadūd (The Affectionate) as mentioned in the Qur’an. Allah’s love will be looked at from the following angles: Allah’s general love for His creation, Allah’s specific love for the believers, the believers’ love for Allah, and the believers’ love for His creation. Then, the meaning of ‘hatred for the sake of Allah’ will be explained in the context of Allah’s love.

The Prophet’s Golden Rule: Ethics of Reciprocity in IslamIslam, as a world religion with over one billion followers, has an important role to play in facilitating dialogue and cooperation with other groups in the modern world. The golden rule in Islamic traditions has been explicitly invoked by numerous Muslim leaders and organizations towards this end. Recently, hundreds of Muslim scholars and leaders have signed the A Common Word interfaith letter, asserting that the Abrahamic faiths share “the twin golden commandments of the paramount importance of loving God and loving one’s neighbor.” The initiative grew into several publications and conferences, including the important and high-profile Marrakesh Declaration in early 2016, which cited A Common Word in its text as evidence of the compatibility between Islamic tradition and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
