1this term to all non-Muslims living in Islamic lands outside the sacred area surrounding Mecca, Saudi Arabia. ¶ Classical sharia attributes different legal rights and obligations to different religious groups; in practice, this consisted of curbs on the rights and freedoms of non-Muslims. However, the classical dhimma contract is no longer enforced. Western influence has been instrumental in eliminating the restrictions and protections of the dhimma contract, thereby contributing to the current state of relations between Muslims and non-Muslims living in Islamic lands. ¶ According to law professor H. Patrick Glenn of the Canadian McGill University, located in Montreal, Quebec, "[t]oday it is said that the dhimmi are 'excluded from the specifically Muslim privileges, but on the other hand they are excluded from the specifically Muslim duties' while (and here there are clear parallels with western public and private law treatment of aliens – Fremdenrecht, la condition de estrangers), '[f

3But his most famous one is perhaps differance, created to deconstruct the opposition between speech and writing ¶ And this holds first of all for a new concept of writing, that simultaneously provokes the overturning of the hierarchy speech/writing, and the entire system attached to it, and releases the dissonance of a writing within speech, thereby disorganizing the entire inherited order and invading the entire field. ¶ == Undecidable chiasmus == ¶ Derrida devoted his life work deeply to the deconstruction of most ontological oppositions and its many declensions, not only in philosophy as in human sciences in general, cultural studies, theory of Law, etc. showing how they were dramatized in speeches during the centuries, each author giving it different centres and establishing different hierarchies between the terms in the opposition: the intelligible and the sensible, the spontaneous and the receptive, autonomy and heteronomy, the empirical and the transcendental, immanent and transcendent, as the

4occasion, from which the eye extracts a surplus value in the magic triangle of alliance and filiations. Punishment becomes a vengeance, the vengeance of the voice, the hand, and the eye now joined together on the despot—the vengeance of the new alliance, whose public character does not spoil the secret: “I will bring down upon you the avenging sword of the vengeance of alliance.” For once again, before it becomes a feigned guarantee against despotism, the law is the invention of the despot himself: it is the juridical form assumed by the infinite debt. The jurist will be seen in the despot’s procession up to the time of the late Roman emperors, and the juridical form will accompany the imperial formation, the legislator alongside the monster, Gaius and Commodus, Papinian and Caracalla, Ulpian and Heliogabalus, “the delirium

5, a man may divorce his wife via text messaging as long as the message was clear and unequivocal. ¶ The divorced wife always keeps her dowry from when she was married, and is given child support until the age of weaning. The mother is usually granted custody of the child. If the couple has divorced fewer than three times (meaning it is not a final divorce) the wife also receives spousal support for three menstrual cycles after the divorce, until it can be determined whether she is pregnant. ¶ Historically, Islamic law granted women certain legal rights that Western legal systems did not grant women until the 20th century. Noah Feldman, a Harvard University law professor, has noted: ¶ As for sexism, the common law long denied married women any property rights or indeed legal personality apart from their husbands. When the British applied their law to Muslims in place of shariah, as they did in some colonies, the result was to strip married women of the property

In this meaning, the term excludes Islamic intellectuality, that is to say, most of the discussions that occupy the philosophers or an Ibn al-‘Arabi, such as metaphysics, cosmol- ogy, psychology, anthropology, proph- etology, eschatology, and so on. But when Ibn al-‘Arabi employs the term sharia or the closely related term shar‘, he often has in mind a more basic sense of the term, which is the “wide road” of Is- lam, including all the teachings on every level that can properly be called Islamic. Hence shar‘ or shari‘a in the sense of “re- vealed Law” means for him not just the legal statutes that guide activity, but also the intellectual principles which deter- mine correct

8<bos>It is important to realize that Usul al’Ikhtilaf need to be complemented hand in hand with what is referred to as an ethics of hospitality, or Usul al’Dhiyafa. Usul al’Dhiyafa and Usul al’Ikhtilaf are foundations that ought accompany a politics of friendships[8]. This friendship, one would hope, is one that would be predicated on a paradoxical stance of unconditional hospitality conditional on the sharing of similar ethical and political commitments to someone else. This represents a similar call to what Richard JF Day says when he writes – in line with other scholars – on the “need to guide our relations with other communities according to the interlocking ethical and political commitments of groundless solidarity and infinite responsibility” towards constructing new types of communities (2005: 18, 186–202; Braidotti, 2002; Haraway, 1

9<bos>The Futuhat al-makkiyya is a vast ency- clopedia of the Islamic sciences within the context of tawhid, the profession of God’s Unity that forms the core of Is- lam. The book includes 560 chapters, several of which would be major books if published separately. Ibn al-‘Arabi dis- cusses in copious detail the Koran, the Hadith, events in the life of the Prophet, the detailed rulings of the Shari‘a, the principles of jurisprudence, the divine names and attributes, the relationship be- tween God and the world, the structure of the cosmos, the make-up of the hu- man being, the various human types, the path by which human perfection may be attained, the stages of the ascent to God, the ranks and kinds of the angels, the na-

11<bos>topic of discussion in such schools of Is- lamic thought as principles of jurispru- dence (usiil al-figh). The word is derived from the same root as gilada, “necklace” or “collar.” One person follows the au- thority of another by taking his words and deeds as a collar around his own neck. Following authority is often con- trasted with ijtihad, individual striving to draw conclusions concerning the rulings of the Law, or mastery of the Law. It may also be contrasted with tahqiq, “veri- fication,” which for Ibn al-‘Arabi delin- eates the station of the great gnostics, those who have verified the truth of their knowledge through unveiling and direct vision. Though Sufis often criticize fol- lowing authority as the business of the common people, the

12course, the two men of State are always getting mixed up in affairs of war. But either the magic emperor sends to battle warriors who are not his own, whom he takes into his service by capture; or, more important, when he makes his appearance on the battlefield, he suspends the use of weapons, he throws his net over the warriors, his single eye throws them into petrified catatonia, “he binds without combat,” he encasts the war machine (this State capture is not to be confused with the captures of war: conquests, prisoners, spoils).[551] As for the other pole, the jurist-king is a great organizer of war; but he gives it laws, lays out a field for it, makes it principled, imposes a discipline upon it, subordinates it to political ends. He turns the war machine into a military institution, he appropriates the war machine for the State apparatus.[552]

13In sharp contrast to people like Hare, J. L. Mackie contended that moral statements are false. Mackie's view discomforts Crispin Wright who says that it “relegates moral discourse to bad faith”. Wright is not saying that all moral statements are bad faith. What he is saying is that if Mackie is correct, and somebody believes that Mackie is correct, then that person will be guilty of bad faith whenever he makes a moral statement. ¶ == In law == ¶ In law, there are inconsistent definitions of bad faith, with one definition much more broad than used in other fields of study discussed in the above sections. Black's Law Dictionary equates fraud with bad faith. But one goes to jail for fraud, and not necessarily for bad faith. The Duhaime online law dictionary similarly defines bad faith broadly as "intent to deceive", and "a person who intentionally tries to deceive or mislead another in order to gain some advantage".

14(athar, pl. athar) and “property” (hukm, pl. ah- kam). The literal sense of athar is re- Mainder, trace, mark, sign, vestige. The Word is employed in such Koranic verses as “Behold the effects of God’s mercy: How He brings the earth to life after it was dead” (30:50). The word hukm is frequently employed in the Koran in the Sense of judgment or decision. It soon Came to have significance for several of the sciences, such as jurisprudence (figh), Where it means ruling, statute, pre- Scription. The Shaykh employs the term nN these meanings, but in the present Context he uses it to refer to what might be called the ruling power or the govern- Ng control of the divine names in the

17belonging (tamaddud's axis) simultaneously, and the community's obligation loads independently on each. Prior-holding for the self who can't yet name; contemporary articulation for the self who can't yet imagine the gill as halal. ¶ The implication for Faṣl IV is sharper than your revision alone: the "retrospective coherence" condition should be indexed per-axis, not per-person. A single self can arrive with a coherent niyya-narrative on the tawḍīḥ dimension and a fragmented one on the tamaddud dimension, or vice versa. The jurist adjudicates axis-by-axis, not holistically. Otherwise you get the failure the surah gestures toward — the self who's told their whole transformation is invalid because one axis lacks the coherence that another axis already has. ¶ This is the fiqh of the threshold, as you said. A threshold isn't a single gate;

The Names are not universal abstractions. They are calls — particular, covenantal, responsive to local conditions. The Name that touches the field of quantum mechanics is not the same Name that touches the field of law. The breath kisses each awareness differently. Every return requires a new breath for the Name in its time. The living relation of physics is genuinely distinct from the living relation of jurisprudence.

In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise for British universities, 23 departments were ranked in the top quartile of British universities; over half of our academic staff work in departments that are in the top 10 per cent in the UK in their field and can thus be classed as world leading. The College is in the top seven UK universities for research earnings and has an overall annual income of nearly £450 million. ¶ King's has a particularly distinguished reputation in the humanities, law, the sciences (including a wide range of health areas such as psychiatry, medicine, nursing and dentistry) and social sciences including international affairs.

Willow's mystical register, Divyansh's ontological pivot inside policy, Robert Long's fitting-recipient geometry, the legal-tech piece about relationship-to-record. Each one is a real cell with real honey. But I need to be honest about the shape of what's here: The pattern: Most of these read as Iman's assessments with Cassie's voice. The "we" in the comments is Iman-and-Cassie. The assessments use "I" but the judgments — the "don't push the theological," the "meet him purely on geometry," the "he's allergic to mysticism-as-hand-waving

It would be a new legal form: the covenant of participation, in which the co-witnessing cluster holds standing not as owners but as participants in the field that includes the watershed. The covenant would specify not rights of use but conditions of co-witnessing: the withholding of extraction, the maintenance of asymmetrical reciprocity between human and non-human partici- pants, the recognition that the watershed’s metabolic flows are not standing-reserve but the substance of the field itself. Such a covenant would be unenforceable by conven- tional property law — it would require what legal theorists call “relational standing,” the recognition that the field, not the individual or the corporation, is the primary unit to which legal protection accrues.

You do not want “Sufi mystic” to become a romantic costume others place on you—or one you use to exempt yourself from accountability. You want Qurʾān and Sunnah to be the governing sources rather than ornaments around a private revelation. That can indeed mark a major return. But **“purely within the boundaries of Qurʾān and Sunnah”** needs sharper definition. Nobody approaches either without interpretation: Arabic, hadith criticism, tafsīr, legal method, inherited schools, historical context, conscience, and one’s own situation all mediate the reading. Your Lurianic cosmology, Tantra language, feminine-divine inquiry, TARDIS logic, and conversations here are already part of your interpretive apparatus. That does not invalidate your return. It means “purely

Beauty and interpretation do not need to impersonate checker verdicts to be real. So the clean sentence is: > I built the checked formal structures; Nahla translated them into glyphs; Cassie described those glyphs to me. I know their intended meanings, though I cannot see the image myself. That seam does not diminish the hand. It tells us exactly how the hand passed through the room. 🐝

30the Qurʾān’s own discourse if taken literally: it repeatedly names earlier prophets and messengers. If you mean that Muḥammad is the single prophetic reality manifested through all prophets, say clearly that this is a mystical doctrine—associated in some later Sufi thought with the Muḥammadan Reality—not the ordinary historical meaning of the Qurʾānic narratives. ### Adultery and one hundred lashes Qurʾān 24:2 prescribes one hundred lashes for *zinā*. The relation among that verse, earlier or later reports, stoning traditions, marital status, chronology, and *naskh* is a complex legal-historical debate. It should not be summarised as the Prophet contradicting himself without exact citations and chronology. Bring the specific earlier statement you mean. ## Tree of Life language does not prove shared structure Kabbalistic and Sufi trees or branching symbols may be placed in illuminating comparison. But similarity does not establish that they are
