This comprehensive legal and religious study explores the critical topic of compensation for damages, a field that continues to evolve and require deep scholarly investigation. The book bridges the gap between Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) and the legal framework of Brunei Darussalam, specifically focusing on the protection of the "Five Necessities" (Maqasid al-Sharia) from aggression and harm. 

While scholars universally agree on the obligation of compensation for material damages—whether related to persons or property—the assessment of moral and psychological damage remains a subject of scholarly debate due to the difficulty of quantification. This work argues that the public interest necessitates that no harm goes uncompensated, serving as a deterrent against injustice and crime. 

Key Features

• Dual Perspective: Uniquely combines Sharia perspectives with the civil laws of Brunei Darussalam.
• Analytical Depth: Provides an in-depth analysis of the "Five Necessities" of Islam and how they relate to modern compensation laws.
• Methodological Approach: Employs a rigorous comparative methodology, using foundational Sharia principles and legal precedents.
• Constructive Critique: Offers scholarly criticism and rooted analysis to help readers understand the balance between Islamic ethics and modern legal practice. 

Benefits for the Reader

• Legal Clarity: Provides a clear understanding of how material and moral damages are defined and compensated in different legal systems.
• Academic Resource: An essential reference for law students, Islamic scholars, and legal practitioners in Brunei and the wider Islamic world.
• Social Justice Insights: Demonstrates Islam's commitment to protecting individual rights and preventing societal injustice through fair compensation.

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.
