Abstract
Abdul Hakim al-Fitour’s article is a revivalist ta’ṣīlī (a framework established upon referral to principal Islamic sources) study of how the different territorial divisions of the world are conceived, the impact this has on legal rulings, and how benefit can be derived from rulings such that a new conception of the notion of the division of the world can be developed in light of changes in time and place. It discusses the ta’ṣīlī approach, objectives, and commitment to the spirit of maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah within the context of three central themes: (1) the notion of “abode” (dār); (2) the abode of response (dār al-istijābah), the abode of outreach (dār al-daʿwah), and the basis for the notion of describing territorial divisions of the world; and (3) the philosophical dimensions of the difference between the two abodes.
