Children’s Rights in Islamic Jurisprudence and The Phenomenon of Street Children in Mbale, Uganda
(Arab German Journal of Sharia and Law Sciences, 2025-05-25) Manswab, Mahsen Abdulrahman; Walusimbi,Abdul hafiz Musa
This study investigates the rights of children as outlined in Islamic jurisprudence, with a specific focus on the situation of street children in Mbale, Uganda. The research problem centers on the growing number of street children in the region, driven by factors such as poverty, family disintegration, and inadequate institutional support. These conditions leave children vulnerable to exploitation, neglect, and deprivation of basic needs. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the relevance and applicability of Islamic legal principles in addressing these challenges and ensuring the protection and well-being of children in vulnerable circumstances. To achieve this, the study adopts a qualitative methodology that includes field observations, interviews with key stakeholders—such as religious leaders, social workers, and affected children—and an in-depth analysis of relevant Islamic sources, particularly the Qur’an, Hadith,and classical jurisprudential texts. The findings reveal that approximately 4,000 street children are currently living in Mbale. Several factors lead to the rise of street children, including economic in stability, poverty, war, the breakdown of traditional values, domestic violence, and abuse, all of which drive them to live on the street. The study recommends the establishment of waqf (endowment), ṣadaqah (charity), and zakāh-funded programs, to be administered through the Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU). These funds should support initiatives such as: (i) Islamic Ethical Rehabilitation (ii) Basic Literacy and Vocational Training (iii) Psychosocial Support and Trauma Counseling (iv) Family Reintegration and Foster Care Training (Kafālah) (v) Health and Hygiene Education Programs. These initiatives aim to restore the rights and dignity of street children in accordance with Islamic principles
Human Rights in the Control of Digital Public Space Freedom:
(Faculty of Sharia Universitas Islam Negeri K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan, 2025-06-01) Manswab, Mahsen Abdulrahman; Adang, Sonjaya; Fauzan, Ali Rasyid; Chaerul,Shaleh
Internet control has a close relationship with human rights because the digital space is becoming increasingly integral to social, political, and economic life. The purpose of this study is to discuss Internet control policies that support or hinder human rights and identify the right approach to solving problems related to existing problems. The research method adopts a normative juridical approach with a statute and conceptual approach. This study found that internet and social media regulations, namely Electronic Information and Transactions Law, have rubber articles that can be misused to limit freedom of expression, thus having implications for socio-political conditions, namely reducing people’s space to express their opinions, threatening democracy and political participation, including the implementation of Islamic Law in local governments based on Sharia. The researcher argues that a collaborative approach based on Islamic law, which includes truth and honesty (Sidiq), justice and equality (Adil), politeness and respect (Hilm), and preventing damage and conflict (Munkar), can be the most appropriate solution to solve existing problems in Indonesia. This study contributes to the formation and implementation of policies to address potential conflicts between freedom of expression and national security in Indonesia and various countries that have the same problems.
The Impact of Belief in the Hereafter on Muslim Moral and Ethical Conduct
(Jurnal Usuluddin, 2025) Manswab, Mahsen Abdulrahman
Belief in the afterlife constitutes a fundamental pillar of Islamic faith, profoundly influencing both the devotional practices and moral conduct of Muslims. This study examines how this belief shapes Muslim behavior guiding acts of worship and fostering virtues such as honesty, justice, and compassion. Despite Islam’s emphatic teachings on the hereafter, many Muslims exhibit behaviors incongruent with this belief, such as neglect of worship, ethical lapses, and excessive worldly preoccupations. Consequently, the study’s central research question emerges: What are the most significant manifestations of afterlife belief in a Muslim’s daily life? The study employs a descriptive-analytical approach, examining Quranic texts and Hadith to elucidate concepts related to the afterlife. It also analyzes contemporary Muslim behavior through this lens. The deductive method derives behavioral and moral principles from religious texts, while the inductive method evaluates real-world examples of conduct influenced (or uninfluenced) by this belief. The findings affirm that genuine belief in the afterlife serves as a powerful motivator for religious and ethical adherence. When internalized, it fosters a cohesive Muslim society striving for holistic success—balancing temporal well-being with eternal salvation.
