   Abstract = {In this article, we consider the idea of the nation as a
             collective fantasy, an illusion of wholeness that seeks
             congruence between the nation as a people and the state. In
             Pakistan, the vision of the nation is based not on ethnic
             ties but on the idea of Islamic belonging, some visions of
             which exclude and abject Shi‘i, Dalit Christians, and
             Ahmadis. We examine the shrine of Mumtaz Qadri, who
             assassinated a state official to protect the state’s
             blasphemy laws, as a site of national imagining where the
             margins of belonging have been contested.},

   Abstract = {The pillars of a legitimate marriage in Islam between two
             adult males and females are two: clear consent of the two
             parties themselves for marriage and binding an agreement so
             that they become husband and wife. ‘Non-verbal
             conventional marriage’ is a legitimate marriage because
             both pillars of marriage were observed in it. A written
             marriage contract and especially its submission in a legal
             center for marriage is closer to caution for a time of
             frequent disagreement. The Western style of partnership
             ‘cohabitation’ is not necessarily equivalent to
             non-verbal conventional marriage.},

   Abstract = {Ali Ibn Abi Talib recognized the mutual rights of the ruler
             and ruled, the sanctity of contracts, especially with the
             enemy, and freedom of speech as the cornerstones of Shite
             political philosophy. Understanding Shi’ite political
             thought is impossible without considering the doctrine of
             justice and its consequences such as the right to an
             uprising against unjust rulers, which is crystallized in
             al-Hussein b. Ali’s maxims and teachings. Ayatollah
             Khomeini’s political theory is in the absolute minority
             not only in the history of Shi’ite fiqh but also in
             contemporary Shi’ite fiqh.},

   Abstract = {After the assassination of the Azerbaijani journalist Rafiq
             Taqi in 2011 under the fatwa of the Iranian jurist Muhammad
             Fadil Lankarani, who condemned him to death for a
             blasphemous news article in 2006, Mohsen Kadivar criticized
             this fatwa, condemned the assassination, and wrote a
             detailed open letter in Persian denying the ruling on
             apostasy and blasphemy in light of the deductive approach
             and evidence from the Qur’an and Prophetic Traditions as
             well as Shi’ite Imams Hadiths. Kadivar wrote a detailed
             introduction in English to the second edition of the book in
             which he presented the genealogy of the development of the
             rule of apostasy and blasphemy on one hand and religious
             freedom on the other hand among Sunni and Shiite Muslim
             jurists and thinkers. The Arabic translation of the book
             includes all of these texts and the author’s opinions on
             the issue of apostasy, blasphemy, and freedom of belief. The
             preface, entitled “Toward Removing the Punishment of
             Apostasy in Islam” is one of the features of the Arabic
             version.},

             Bases for Discussions on Islam and Human Rights; Islam and
             Human Rights; Freedoms of Belief, Religion, and Politics;
             Women’s Rights; and Other Debates in Human Rights. Its
             first edition was published in 2008. The translation of the
             critical and detailed introduction to the English version
             (2021) has been added to the new edition. Anything that we
             call ‘Islamic’ today must be reasonable, just, moral,
             and more functional according to the conventions of the
             present time. The main problem of traditional Islam is that
             it is living in the 21st century while breathing in the
             atmosphere of several centuries ago. It is possible to have
             a reading of the Qur’an and the Tradition of the Prophet
             and a methodology in ijtihad and jurisprudence that is
             consistent with the criteria of human rights.},

             constitutionalist context, political Shi’ism in a secular
             context, and Islamic republic. The author’s thorough
             historical overview is followed by a discussion of political
             theories of Shi’ite authorities after constitutionalism
             and the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran,
             specifically theories proposed by Khorasani and Khomeini,
             and how other Shi’ite scholars differ from these two
             groups of thought.},
