The provisions of the pitfall in Islamic jurisprudence, the chapter on worship
Praise be to God, and may blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and after. I dealt in the research with the definition of al?Hattab linguistically and idiomatically, as well as the evidence for its legitimacy from the Qur’an and the pure Prophetic Sunnah and the jurisprudential rulings related to it. The definition of logging and its legitimacy, the first requirement mentioned the definition of logging, and the second requirement mentioned its legitimacy from the Holy Qur’an and the purified Sunnah of the Prophet, and the second topic mentioned the issues of logging in worship, and there are two demands, the first requirement: the logging in the sanctuary of Mecca, and the second requirement of logging in the sanctuary of Medina, Finally, the conclusion mentioned the most important results, then the sources and references. What was right is from God, and what was wrong is from myself. We are all subject to error, and may God’s prayers and peace be upon our master Muhammad and his family and companions.

Legitimacy : the state and beyond
Traditionally, legitimacy has been associated exclusively with states. But are states actually legitimate? And in light of the legalization of international norms why should discussions of legitimacy focus only on the nation-state? The essays in this collection examine the nature of legitimacy, the legitimacy of the state, and the legitimacy of supranational institutions. The collection begins by asking: What sort of problem is legitimacy? Part I considers competing theories, in particular the work of John Rawls. Part II looks at the legitimacy of state apparatus, its institutions, officials, and the rule of law, and the future of state sovereignty. Part III expands the scope of legitimacy beyond the state to supranational institutions and international law. Written by theorists of considerable standing, the essays in this volume will be of interest to students and scholars of law, politics, and philosophy looking for ways of approaching the problem of how extra-territorial affairs affect a state's written and unwritten agreements with its citizens in a world where laws and norms with legal effect are increasingly made beyond the state.

Democratic legitimacy
It's a commonplace that citizens in Western democracies are disaffected with their political leaders and traditional democratic institutions. But in Democratic Legitimacy, Pierre Rosanvallon, one of today's leading political thinkers, argues that this crisis of confidence is partly a crisis of understanding. He makes the case that the sources of democratic legitimacy have shifted and multiplied over the past thirty years and that we need to comprehend and make better use of these new sources of legitimacy in order to strengthen our political self-belief and commitment to democracy.

Citizenship and the Legitimacy of Governance
Against the background of unease at the increasingly loose and conflictual relationship between citizenship and governance, this book brings together rich, ethnographic studies from EU member states and post-Communist and Middle-Eastern countries in the Mediterranean Region to illustrate the crisis of legitimacy inherent in the weakening link between political responsibility and trust in the exercise of power.
With close attention to the impact of the ambiguities and distortions of governance at the local level and their broader implications at the international level, where a state's legitimacy depends on its democratic credentials, Citizenship and the Legitimacy of Governance initiates a comparative discussion of the relationship between established moralities, politics, law and civil society in a highly diversified region with a strong history of cultural exchange. Demonstrating that a comparative anthropological analysis has much to offer to our understanding, this volume reveals that the city is a crucial arena for the renegotiation of citizenship, democracy and belonging.

An Examination of the Different Interpretations of the Concept of Caliphate in Sunni and Shi'i Tafsirs in Four Qur'anic Verses
The discourse surrounding the caliphate provides a critical lens through which to examine the conceptual foundations of power, authority, and legitimacy within Islamic intellectual tradition. This debate has engendered divergent hermeneutical and theological approaches concerning the interpretation of scriptural texts, the mechanisms of communal consensus, and the principles underpinning political legitimacy. This study undertakes a comparative analysis of the exegetical treatments of four Qur’anic verses within Sunni and Shi‘i scholarly literature to elucidate the theological and jurisprudential dimensions of the caliphate. Employing qualitative methodology, the research adopts a document-based analytical framework, with primary sources selected through purposive sampling to ensure methodological rigor. The findings demonstrate that both Sunni and Shi‘i scholarly traditions engage with the question of succession through the lens of divine designation (naṣṣ), albeit with fundamentally differing theological presuppositions. Sunni exegetes predominantly invoke the Irtidād verse (Q 5:51) and the Ṣiddīq verse (Q 4:69) as textual evidence in support of their positions, whereas Shi‘i scholars anchor their arguments in the Wilāyah verse (Q 5:55) and the Tablīgh verse (Q 5:67). A close reading of these exegetical traditions reveals that each school interprets these verses through distinct hermeneutical frameworks, resulting in divergent conclusions regarding rightful succession: Sunni scholarship prioritizes the legitimacy of Abū Bakr, while Shi‘i scholarship asserts the exclusive right of ‘Alī. This analysis underscores the necessity of contextualizing early Islamic historical developments, suggesting that the socio-political contingencies of the formative period remain indispensable to a nuanced understanding of the caliphate debate.
