Ruhul Amin addressing anInternational Seminar on 'Islamic Law and its application inthe contemporary Society' at BIAM Foundation auditoriumyesterday. NN photo Staff ReporterChief Justice Md Ruhul Amin told an international seminar in Dhaka yesterday that the curses of corruption and terrorism that afflict societies can be effectively curbed through the application of Islamic legal framework. Addressing the inaugural session of a two-day international seminar on Islamic Law and its application in the contemporary society" at the BIAM auditorium, the Chief Justice said, 'Contrary to what people may believe, Islamic legal system is the most dynamic in nature and its acceptability with changing time and place is guaranteed through the window of Ijtehaad.' He said, as the divine law on earth Islamic law is the most comprehensive set of rules and regulations which is capable of dispensing justice. 'A very special characteristic of the Islamic law is that it is applicable in all times and to all societies regardless of their ethnicity, colour and creed.' The seminar is being attended by scholars from Malaysia, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. It has been jointly organised by the Islamic Law Research Centre and Legal Aid Bangladesh (ILRCLAB) and the Bangladesh Institute of Islamic Thought (BIIT). Presided over by Shah Abdul Hannan, former secretary to the government, and president, BIIT, the inaugural function was also addressed by advocate Nazrul Islam, secretary general of ILRCLAB, Prof. Imtiaz Ghulam Ahmed of the University of Calcutta, India, Dr. Hashim Kamali of International Islamic University, Malaysia, Justice Khalil-ur-Rehman Khan of Pakistan, Mostafa Kamal Majumder, Editor, The New Nation, Prof. Abu Bakar Rafiq, Pro-VC, International Islamic University, Chittagong and Prof. Abul Hasan Sadeq, VC, Asian University of Bangladesh. The Chief Justice said that the relevance of Islamic law to our society in modern times has never diminished. 'Instead, I think it is more relevant today than ever before.' Referring to massive corruption in our society, he said although huge anti-corruption measures inhibited the extent of corruption temporarily, they have seldom been successful to change the very characters of the corrupt people. Similarly, most of the anti-terrorism measures that have been taken to curb terrorism that has shaken the world, failed to bring about desirable results, or ironically, proved counter productive.He said Islamic legal framework will be able to instill the necessary moral fabric in the minds of the corrupt ones so that they would feel an urge from within themselves not to get involved in corruption. 'Islam does not heal any problem with superficial and light approach, rather it enters deeper into it to understand its nature and cause and then uproot the evil from its source, he said. The Chief Justice hoped that through the 2-day deliberations of the workshop a concrete understanding of Islamic law and its applicability in the contemporary society will develop. The event is well timed in the wake of increased corruption, terrorism and crimes around the globe in general and in our country in particular, he added. Shah Abdul Hannan said that Islamic law research progressed a lot and some such laws have been enacted in various countries, though we cannot say that the legislation are perfect and there are no lacunae. The Ulema and politicians for the first time in history agreed on the principles of Islamic Constitution when in Pakistan they framed constitutions in 1956 and then in 1973. He, however, pointed out that there is a lot of misunderstanding about the depth and vastness of Islamic law. There is hardly anything to change in ninety-eight per cent of the laws in Bangladesh (to make them Islamic) because they deal with procedure and punishment, if any, he said. http://nation.ittefaq.com/issues/2008/01/12/news0902.htm Read the news item at Daily Star: http://www.thedailystar.net/story.php?nid=18932 _________________________________________________________________ Post free property ads on Yello Classifieds now! www.yello.in http://ss1.richmedia.in/recurl.asp?pid=221
