    Working on reconciliation is critical for peacebuilding and conflict prevention as it focuses on (re)building and transforming relationships damaged by violent conflict and oppression. Unless action is taken to repair harm resulting from past violence, and to work toward a fair and interdependent future, peace will remain elusive. What we can do is to make religious harmony between different stakeholders and bring them on a single universal platform which will maintain the representation from every sector in the society…and must excel above all differences.

    Salafism Beliefs Explained

    Salafism is an ultra-conservative branch of Sunni Islam that emphasizes strict adherence to the teachings and practices of the first three generations of Muslims, known as the “Salaf.” The beliefs of Salafists include:

    The belief in the oneness of God (Tawhid) and the rejection of all forms of polytheism or idolatry.

    The belief in the absolute authority of the Qur’an and the Sunnah (teachings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad) is the primary source of Islamic law and guidance.

    The belief in the strict adherence to the practices and traditions of the Salaf, and the rejection of any innovation (bid’ah) in the religion.

    The belief in the importance of upholding sharia (Islamic law) in all aspects of life.

    The belief in the importance of purifying the faith and society from perceived moral decay and cultural influence.

    Salafism has several sub-branches, each with its own interpretations and practices, but these beliefs are generally considered central to the Salafist ideology.

    Hanafi Vs Shafi: Fiqh Schools

    What is the difference between Hanafi and Shafi?

    Hanafi and Shafi are two of the four main Sunni schools of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), which provide interpretations of Islamic law based on the Qur’an and Sunnah.

    The Hanafi school is named after Abu Hanifa, who lived in Iraq in the 8th century. Hanafi scholars emphasize the use of reasoning (ijtihad) in deriving legal rulings and place a greater emphasis on the community’s consensus (ijma) and the use of analogical deduction (qiyas).

    The Shafi’i school is named after Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shafi’i, who lived in Egypt in the 9th century. Shafi’i scholars place a greater emphasis on the Qur’an and Sunnah as the primary sources of Islamic law and give less weight to consensus and analogical deduction.

    Overall, the differences between the two schools are primarily centered around their approaches to the interpretation of Islamic law and their relative weighting of the different sources of law.

    Interest (riba in Arabic) is considered haram (forbidden) in Islam because it is seen as a form of exploitation and a violation of the principles of equality and justice. According to Islamic teachings, money should only be used as a medium of exchange and should not be used to generate more money through interest. This goes against the concept of risk-sharing and mutual cooperation in economic transactions, which is seen as a more ethical and equitable way of conducting business in Islam. Additionally, charging or paying interest is seen as a form of greed and a desire for unlimited material gain, which goes against the teachings of moderation and balance in Islam.
