Change and Authority in Islamic Law: The Islamic Law of Inheritance in Modern Muslim States Abstract In traditional Islamic law, the sole repositories of law were the individual muslim scholars and their schools of law, not the Muslim state. This tradition has continued until today, even in the most modern Muslim states. In light of a fast-paced, modern world and heightened international scrutiny of Islamic law, reforms must be made in the traditional system. This paper suggests that the best reform would be to treat the traditional Islamic law as a common law for all Muslim states. With that foundation, the legislatures of those nations can bring about change in their respective countries, while keeping intact the authenticity and authority of the law. The scholars would be repositories of only this common law, further developing undeveloped principles and issuing opinions with which the legislature can work, and the states would be the repositories of modern state law. It is through this readjustment of the Islamic legal structure that the law will retain any relevance in the lives of its followers.

...Automated Attendance Tracking System A card reader is an automated system that collects class attendance by students swiping their DeVry ID cards for every scheduled lecture and lab session. The card readers are conveniently located in each classroom and lab. Additional individual instructor policies for determining tardiness and absence are outlined in course syllabi. Remember to swipe your card for every class you attend. Many students have shown absences (especially in labs) for classes that they have been attending because they have forgotten to swipe. Please remember to swipe your card for lecture and lab attendance. If you forget to swipe your card, you may request that your instructor submit an 'Attendance Revision Form' to update your attendance. Check with your instructors (or course syllabus) to find out whether or not their attendance recording policy will allow for modifications after the class session has been conducted. Please do not get into the habit of swiping more than one card. It is in your own best interest to be the one in control of your ID card and your attendance record. Swiping your classmates' cards can be considered a violation of Article III of the student code of conduct and is subject to the disciplinary actions outlined in Article V of the Student Handbook. Students are not allowed to use an instructor's ID code or card to record attendance for a class. This is for your protection. If the instructor is running late, please wait for the instructor...

...it provide necessary information for studying and living. Raffles in Ho Chi Minh also has a Library located in the highest floor of the building which provides students all reading materials that imported and updated with the current teaching course and subject. However, the number of students is growing quickly when the books and reading materials are limited.

The system will provide a website for students to read e-books (electronic online books) and reserve to borrow book from the library. The system also control the books logically to make sure it will be returned on time and won’t be lost Moreover, the system provides reference e-books such as Making the Grade, Communication Skills, etc. Books which contain meaningful story relate to the study course will appear in the website also. The e-libraries have the potential to store much more information, simply because digital information requires very little physical space to contain it.

...Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) RFID RFID stands for Radio frequency identification. It is a technology that uses communication via radio waves to exchange data between a reader and an electronic tag attached to an object, for the purpose of identification and tracking. It's grouped under the broad category of automatic identification technologies. RFID is fast, reliable, and does not require physical sight or contact between reader/scanner and the tagged item RFID is also called dedicated short range communication (DSRC). History Invented in 1948 by Harry Stockman. Initial application was during World War II-The United Kingdom used RFID devices to distinguish returning English airplanes from inbound German ones. RADAR was only able to signal the presence of a plane, not the kind of plane it was.. Came into commercial use only in 1990s. Identification * Assign IDs to objects * Link the ID to additional information about the object * Link the ID to complementary info * Find similar objects Components A basic RFID system consists of three components: * An antenna or coil * A transceiver (with decoder) * A transponder (RF tag) * The antenna emits radio signals to activate the tag and to read and write data to it. * The reader emits radio waves in ranges of anywhere from one inch to 100 feet or more, depending upon its power output and the radio frequency used.
