Jurnal Al-Shafi'i: Jurnal Berwasit Antarabangsa Bil 12 (July - Dec 2020)

The latest issue of Jurnal Al-Shafi‘i presents an in-depth scholarly exploration of Islamic justice and the protection of minority rights within the framework of Islamic governance. Grounded in historical analysis and legal inquiry, the lead article examines the tradition of peace charters (‘ahdname) issued by the Ottoman Empire between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries, and situates them alongside the twenty-first-century Marrakesh Declaration as a contemporary continuation of the same ethical and legal principles.

The study demonstrates a clear historical continuity in Islam’s commitment to recognizing and safeguarding the rights of non-Muslim residents, regardless of their status as minorities or majorities within a given polity. Through a critical reading of classical documents and modern declarations, the research highlights the deeply rooted values of openness, justice, and tolerance embedded in Islamic administrative and legal traditions, thereby challenging narrow or ahistorical interpretations of Islam’s relationship with minority rights.

As a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal, Jurnal Al-Shafi‘i serves as an essential reference for scholars, researchers, and policymakers engaged in Islamic studies, legal history, and contemporary international law.
