For centuries, the Arabian Gulf has been a crossroads where seafaring people and Bedouins alike travelled great distances transacting business. Events of the past few years, both good and bad, have directed the world’s attention to the Arabian Peninsula, where a rich cultural tradition is rapidly incorporating the latest innovations from around the world. This is the process of globalization. New economies create enormous potential, but it will require great care for the people of the region to steer through a period of profound change. Political and economic interests intent on maintaining the flow of petroleum products on one hand, and people in the Gulf region who assess their won inter...
Mahnaj al Sālikīn (Path of the Wayfarer) is an elementary text in Fiqh and is primarily based upon the Ḥanbali school of thought. Written by the late Sheikh 'Abd al Raḥmān bin Nāṣir al Sa'adi (d.1376 AH), Manhaj al Sālikīn was written in a very simple and concise manner, avoiding the intricate and rare issues that the average person will not come across. It thus serves as an excellent beginning step for those who wish to learn about the major acts of worship (purification, prayer, funerals, zakah, fasting and hajj) as well as important transactions and dealings with other people, such as the rulings of trade, marriage, divorce and inheritance etc.Volume 1 covers the section of worship and volume 2 will cover the remaining chapters of the book. The Arabic text is included and has been placed parallel to the translation.
Throughout the world, vulnerable people are being deceived into entering abusive journeys. Whether in the organ trade, exploitative labour businesses or forced criminality, their lives will never be the same. This book traces the journey of victims/survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking into and within the UK, from recruitment to representation to (re)integration. Using global comparative case studies, it discusses recruitment tactics and demand, prevention in supply chains, issues with effective legal protection and care services and vulnerability to re-trafficking. It also examines the ideological misrepresentation of vulnerable migrants and victims/survivors in media, the film industry, legislation and more. Rooted in diverse practitioner experience, disciplines and empirical research, this book bridges the experience-research-practice-policy gap by bringing to the fore survivors’ voices. In doing so, it offers crucial suggestions for better public awareness, policies and practices that will impact interventions in the UK and beyond.
