Akbarian Scepticism in Islam : Qūnawī's Sceptical Arguments from Relativity and Disagreement
2021
This study deals with the sceptical arguments by one of the most important figures in the philosophical Sufi tradition (the Akbarian school) and the foremost disciple of Ibn ʿArabī, Ṣadr al‐Dīn al‐Qūnawī. Though not a sceptic in the strict sense, Qūnawī employs sceptical arguments from relativity of rational knowledge and disagreement among philosophers to prove inefficacy of reason and rational procedures of knowledge in terms of achieving certain knowledge of metaphysical matters, namely of God and the ultimate principles of things. The paper questions Qūnawī's implicit assumption that, if there is disagreement on a proposition p, then p is relative and thus cannot provide certain knowled…
Evaluation of Social Reporting Practices of Islamic Banks in Saudi Arabia
2012
Islamic banks are said to possess ethical identity (Haniffa and Hudaib, 2007) because their social goals are just as important if not more important than financial goals because of the fact that they are based on religious foundations, i.e. the Islamic Shari'ah which has as its ultimate goal, the betterment of society.

Kulttuuri-identiteetti ja kotoutuminen : arabialaisten nuorten sopeutuminen suomalaiseen kulttuuriin
2016
Tarkastelen ja vertailen kandidaatintutkielmassani arabialaista ja suomalaista kulttuuri-identiteettiä kotoutumisen näkökulmasta. Maahanmuuttajien määrän kasvu ja kiristynyt turvapaikkatilanne haastavat pohtimaan sitä, miten saamme maahanmuuttajat kotoutettua suomalaiseen kulttuuriin. Musiikkikasvatuksen opiskelijana näen koulun merkityksen keskeisenä tekijänä lasten ja nuorten onnistuneessa kotoutumisessa. Tutkielmani on kirjallisuuskatsaus tuoreeseen pääasiassa maahanmuuttoa ja kulttuuri-identiteettejä käsittelevään kirjallisuuteen. Aineistoa maahanmuutosta ja kulttuuri-identiteeteistä on paljon. Myös arabialaisten nuorten kotouttamisesta suomalaiseen kulttuuriin löytyy materiaalia, mutta…
