The right to defense in Islamic criminal law

This thesis focuses on the importance of urban planning in the Islamic world and examines the influence of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) on this planning. Islamic urbanism has been shaped by the teachings of Islam and exhibits distinct characteristics when compared to pre-Islamic and post-Islamic periods. The study also addresses the perspectives of Western scholars regarding the impact of Islamic jurisprudence on urban planning, highlighting the similarities and differences in the understanding of Islamic urbanism. To elucidate the Islamic approach to urbanism, the planning of cities in the Islamic world as religious, social, and commercial centers is explained, along with how this planning is structured according to principles derived from Islamic jurisprudence. The views of Western researchers who either acknowledge or reject the influence of Islamic jurisprudence on urban planning are evaluated, emphasizing the universality and impact of Islamic urbanism through these assessments. The similarities and differences between Islamic and European urban planning approaches are examined, and the role of these approaches in shaping cities is discussed. To explain Islamic urbanism in historical context, the study explores how Islamic architecture and urban planning evolved over time and analyzes the process by which European urban planning concepts were adopted starting from the 18th century. It also discusses how this shift has made the concept of the Islamic city a subject of debate. This thesis aims to serve as an important resource for a deeper examination of Islamic urbanism and a better understanding of the influence of Islamic jurisprudence on urban planning.
