“…These are key questions within the Islamic jurisprudence fiqh al aqalliyyat al-Muslema , which has gained prominence since the late 1990s, also thanks to the prolific contributions of influential Islamic scholars such as Yusuf al-Qaradawi and the late Taha Jabir Al-Alwani. This emerging Islamic jurisprudence seeks to provide religious guidance specifically tailored to those Muslims who live in non-Muslim societies, taking into account the specific circumstances in the West (see also Shavit 2015). Overall, proponents of fiqh al aqalliyyat argue against the rigid geo-political differentiation between the dar al-Islam (abode of Islam) and dar-al harb (abode of war) (Kazemipur 2017).…”

Questioning the compatibility of Islam with liberal democratic principles has become a common argument in the public rhetoric across the socio-political spectrum. This article examines this claimed irreconcilability through the prism of a constitutive dimension of healthy democracies: active citizenship. Drawing on a systematic synthesis of recent studies, the article argues that, while it is impossible to ultimately decide whether Islam as a faith is compatible with liberal democratic norms, the lived religiosity of most Muslims is generally not an obstacle to civic engagement in non-Muslim majority countries; active involvement in mosques rather tends to enhance their active citizenship. Data from an explorative study on Muslims’ engagement in Australia and Germany allow new insights into the different ways civically active Muslims refer to their faith as a driver for their citizenship. Some describe it as a religious duty, while for others ‘serving humanity’ constitutes a fundamental aspect of lived religiosity.

“…A good understanding of Fiqh requires a learning model that emphasizes mastery of concepts constructed based on everyday life. The message of knowing something by understanding can be conveyed well to students (Shavit & Spengler, 2018;Tan, 1970). Learning that can construct student knowledge from everyday life is contextual learning.…”

The development of Islamic education demands a change in the teaching system that leads to the availability of a constructivist-oriented learning model in constructing Fiqh knowledge more logically and rationally through analyzing the context of people's life. This study aims to develop a Direct-Contextual Learning (DCL) model by integrating the characteristics of direct instruction and contextual learning and improving the learning outcomes of comparative Fiqh in higher education. This type of research included the type of research development (R&D) with a systematic approach using the Dick and Carey model. The participants involved in this study were 100 first-level undergraduate degrees at Gontor Islamic University who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. The data collection techniques used include questionnaires, literature reviews, and test learning outcomes. This study's results were the DCL model, and the DCL teaching plan that was developed led to better Fiqh learning outcomes. The DCL phases developed to consist of an introduction, presentation, context exploration, confirmation, and closing. This study provides a new learning model at Modern Islamic University that can be used by lecturers to impart student fiqh knowledge without leaving the lecturer's role in facilitating students through critical analysis of the relationship between Fiqh and the context of social life.
