The '''ICC Men's Test Team Rankings''' (formerly known as the '''ICC Test Championship''') is an international rankings system of the [[International Cricket Council]] for the 12 teams that play [[Test cricket]]. The rankings are based on international matches that are otherwise played as part of regular Test cricket scheduling, with no consideration of home or away status.

After every Test series, the two teams involved receive points based on a mathematical formula involving both teams' previous rating and the result of the series. Each team's points total from matches over the last 3–4 years is divided by a figure based on their total number of matches and series played, to give a "rating".

A drawn match between higher and lower rated teams will benefit the lower-rated team at the expense of the higher-rated team. An "average" team that wins as often as it loses, while playing a mix of stronger and weaker teams, will have a rating of 100.

The top ranked Test team was previously awarded the ICC Test Championship mace, until the inauguration of [[ICC World Test Championship]]. From 2002 to 2019, the mace was transferred whenever a new team moved to the top of the rating list.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20111005160909/http://cricketnext.in.com/news/england-presented-with-test-mace/59674-13.html cricketnext – England presented with Test mace]. Retrieved 22 August 2011</ref> The team that was top of the ratings table on 1 April each year also won a cash prize.<ref>{{cite news|title=Outcomes from the ICC Board and Committee meetings|url=http://www.icc-cricket.com/news/2015/media-releases/90049/outcomes-from-the-icc-board-and-committee-meetings|access-date=27 January 2016|publisher=ICC|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160207162636/http://www.icc-cricket.com/news/2015/media-releases/90049/outcomes-from-the-icc-board-and-committee-meetings|archive-date=7 February 2016}}</ref>

Since the ICC officially began ranking teams in 2003, Australia had dominated the rankings table. However, from 2009, several teams (Australia, South Africa, India, England, New Zealand, and Pakistan) have competed for the top positions.

The ICC retrospectively applied the current rating system to results since 1952 (providing ratings for the end of each month from then). The table only begins then, as prior to 1952 there is insufficient data available due to the infrequency of matches and the small number of competing teams in these earlier periods.<ref>{{cite web|title=Historical rankings |url=http://www.icc-cricket.com/match_zone/historical_ranking.php |access-date=28 March 2017 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121107124239/http://www.icc-cricket.com/match_zone/historical_ranking.php |archive-date=7 November 2012}}</ref>

==ICC Test championship (2002–2019)==
The rankings system was called '''ICC Test Championship''', until the inauguration of [[ICC World Test Championship]] in 2019. From 2002 to 2019, the top-ranked Test team was awarded with the ICC Test Championship mace and the top team at each April 1 cut-off (until 2019) was also awarded a cash prize, the winners of which are listed below.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/101213.html |title=Waugh receives ICC Test trophy |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=18 August 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/183562|title=David Richardson presents ICC Test Championship mace to Misbah-ul-Haq|work=[[International Cricket Council|ICC]]|date=21 September 2016|access-date=22 May 2021}}</ref> The mace is now awarded to the winners of the ICC World Test Championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/2171371 |title=Details of WTC prize money announced |work=International Cricket Council |access-date=14 June 2021}}</ref>

== Calculations ==

===Qualifying matches===
Matches that qualify are those played as part of a series consisting of at least two Tests.

===Time period===
{{ICC rankings time period}}

===Find the points earned from a series===
Each time two teams complete another series, the rankings tables is updated as described below, based on the ratings of the teams immediately before they played.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/story/874363.html |title=Understanding the ICC rankings system |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=12 May 2015 |access-date=5 January 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cimt.plymouth.ac.uk/resources/topical/test_championship/test_championship.htm|title=World Championship for Test Cricket|access-date=5 January 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141027060001/http://www.cimt.plymouth.ac.uk/resources/topical/test_championship/test_championship.htm|archive-date=27 October 2014}}</ref>

====Step 1. Find the series points for each team====

* Award 1 point to a team for each match won.
* Award {{sfrac|1|2}} point to a team for each match drawn or tied.
* Award 1 bonus point to the team winning the series.
* Award {{sfrac|1|2}} bonus point to each team if the series is drawn.

====Step 2. Convert these series points to actual ratings points====

'''If the gap between the ratings of the two teams before the series was less than 40 points'''

The ratings points for each team equals:


<div style="background: white; border: 2px solid rgb(0, 255, 0); padding: 2px;">
{|
|-
|''(The team's own series points) x (The opponent's rating + 50) <math>+</math> (The opponent's series points) x (The opponent's rating − 50)''
|}
</div>

As each match won earns a team 1 series point and their opponent 0, losing earns them 0 series points and their opponent 1, and drawing earns both teams {{sfrac|1|2}} series point, each match played therefore earns teams ratings points as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! style="background: #BFB6A3;"| Single match result
! style="background: #BFB6A3;"| Ratings points earned
|-
| Win || Opponent's rating + 100
|-
| Draw or tie || Opponent's rating
|-
| Lose || Opponent's rating − 100
|}

As this formula only applies when the gap between the ratings of the two teams at the start of the series was less than 40 points, winning a match will always earn a team more rating points than the rating they already had, and losing a match will always earn a team fewer rating points than the rating they already had. Drawing a match will earn the weaker team more rating points than the rating they already had, and the stronger team fewer.

The difference between winning and losing a single match is therefore 100 points. Also, whether the outcome of a match is a win & lose or a draw, the total rating points earned by the two teams from that match will be the sum of the two teams' ratings before the series began. The total rating points earned from a series will therefore equal the sum of the two teams' ratings before the series began multiplied by (the number of matches + 1).

'''If the gap between the ratings of the two teams before the series was at least 40 points'''

The ratings points for the stronger team equals:


<div style="background: white; border: 2px solid rgb(0, 255, 0); padding: 2px;">
{|
|-
|''(The team's own series points) x (The team's own rating + 10) <math>+</math> (The opponent's series points) x (The team's own rating − 90)''
|}
</div>

and the ratings points for the weaker team equals:


<div style="background: white; border: 2px solid rgb(0, 255, 0); padding: 2px;">
{|
|-
|''(The team's own series points) x (The team's own rating + 90) <math>+</math> (The opponent's series points) x (The team's own rating − 10).''
|}
</div>

As above, each match played therefore earns teams ratings points as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! style="background: #BFB6A3;"| Single match result
! style="background: #BFB6A3;"| Ratings points earned
|-
| Stronger team wins || Own rating + 10
|-
| Weaker team loses || Own rating − 10
|-
| style="border-width:4px 1px 1px 1px;border-style:solid;border-color:pale grey" | Stronger team draws or ties || style="border-width:4px 1px 1px 1px;border-style:solid;border-color:pale grey" | Own rating − 40
|-
| Weaker team draws or ties || Own rating + 40
|-
| style="border-width:4px 1px 1px 1px;border-style:solid;border-color:pale grey" | Stronger team loses || style="border-width:4px 1px 1px 1px;border-style:solid;border-color:pale grey" | Own rating − 90
|-
| Weaker team wins || Own rating + 90
|}

Therefore, again, winning a match will always earn a team more rating points than the rating they already had, and losing a match will always earn a team fewer rating points than the rating they already had. Drawing a match will earn the weaker team more points than the rating they already had, and the stronger team fewer.

For both teams, the difference between winning and losing a single match is still 100 points. Also, whichever of the three outcomes happens, the total rating points earned by the two teams from that match will be the sum of the two teams' ratings before the series began.

===Update the ranking table===

For each team:
*Add the ratings points scored to their total ratings points already scored (in previous matches).
*Update the number of matches played by adding the number of Series points available. This is one more than the number of games in the series, as there is an additional point available for the series winner (a two Test match series will result in the match count getting incremented by three).
*Divide the new rating points total by the updated number of matches to get the updated Rating.

===Example===

Suppose two teams, initially with ratings of 120 and 90, play a 3-match series, and the team with the higher initial rating wins 2–1:

{| class="wikitable" style="float: center; margin: 1em 1em 1em 1em; text-align:center;"
|-
! width="50" style="background: #ffdead;" rowspan="2" | Team
! colspan="3" style="background: #ffdead;" | Ratings before the series
! colspan="4" style="background: #ffdead;" | The series
! colspan="3" style="background: #ffdead;" | Ratings after the series
|-
| width="60" | '''Matches''' || width="60" | '''Points''' || width="60" | '''Rating''' || width="60" | '''Matches won''' || width="60" | '''Matches drawn''' || width="60" | '''Series points''' || width="200" | '''Ratings points''' || width="60" | '''Matches''' || width="60" | '''Points''' || width="60" | '''Rating'''
|-
| A || 30 || 3600 || style="background: #ACE1AF;" | 120 || 2 || 0 || 3 || 3x(90+50) + 1x(90–50) = 460 || 30+3+1=34 || 3600+460=4060 || style="background: #ACE1AF;" | 119.4
|-
| B || 36 || 3240 || style="background: #ACE1AF;" | 90 || 1 || 0 || 1 || 1x(120+50) + 3x(120–50) = 380 || 36+3+1=40 || 3240+380=3620 || style="background: #ACE1AF;" | 90.5
|}

*The total Ratings points available from the series (460+380=840) is the same as the initial ratings of the teams multiplied by the number of Series points available ((120+90)x4=840).
*The two teams' total ratings is almost exactly the same after the series (119.4+90.5=209.9) as before the series (120+90=210). The series has therefore not generated any extra ratings, but has just redistributed the ratings the two teams already had. When these ratings are published in the official table in their [[rounding|rounded]] form (119 and 91), the total ratings after the series will be exactly the same as before the series. There is therefore no points 'inflation' in this system, which means that comparisons of ratings over time are meaningful.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.icc-cricket.com/team-rankings/test |title=FAQs on ICC Test Team Rankings |publisher=Qn2, ICC |access-date=18 January 2016}}</ref>
*Despite winning the series, Team A's rating has reduced, and despite losing the series, Team B's rating has increased. If Team A had won the series 3–0 then its rating would have increased to 122.4.

The '''Prophet's Mosque''' or '''Mosque of the Prophet''' ({{lang-ar|{{Script|Arab|ٱلْمَسْجِد ٱلنَّبَوِي}}|al-Masjid an-Nabawī|Mosque of the Prophet}}), is the [[List of the oldest mosques|second mosque]] built by the [[Prophets and messengers in Islam|Islamic prophet]] [[Muhammad in Islam|Muhammad]] in [[Medina]], after [[Quba Mosque|that of Quba]], as well as the second [[List of large mosques|largest mosque]] and [[Holiest sites in Islam|holiest site in Islam]], after the [[Masjid al-Haram]] in [[Mecca]], in the [[Saudi Arabia|Saudi]] region of the [[Hejaz]].<ref>{{Citation |last=Trofimov |first=Yaroslav |title=The Siege of Mecca: The 1979 Uprising at Islam's Holiest Shrine |place=New York |year=2008 |page=79 |isbn=978-0-307-47290-8}}</ref> The mosque is located at the heart of Medina, and is a major site of [[Ziyarat|pilgrimage]] that falls under the purview of the [[Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques]].

[[Muhammad]] himself was involved in the construction of the [[mosque]]. At the time, the mosque's land belonged to two young orphans, Sahl and Suhayl, and when they learned that Muhammad wished to acquire their land to erect a mosque, they went to Muhammad and offered the land to him as a gift; Muhammad insisted on paying a price for the land because they were orphaned children. The price agreed upon was paid by [[Abu Ayyub al-Ansari]], who thus became the endower or donor ({{Lang-ar|وَاقِف|translit=wāqif}}) of the mosque, on behalf or in favor of Muhammad.<ref>{{Cite web|date=29 March 2014|title=Masjid-e-Nabwi - IslamicLandmarks.com|url=https://www.islamiclandmarks.com/madinah-masjid-e-nabwi/masjid-e-nabwi|access-date=26 June 2020|website=IslamicLandmarks.com|language=en-GB}}</ref> al-Ansari also accommodated Muhammad upon [[Hijrah|his arrival at Medina]] in 622.

Originally an open-air building, the mosque served as a [[Community centre|community center]], a [[court]] of law, and a [[religious school]]. It contained a raised platform or pulpit (''[[minbar]]'') for the people who taught the [[Quran]] and for Muhammad to give the Friday sermon (''[[khutbah]]''). Subsequent Islamic rulers greatly expanded and decorated the mosque, [[Eponym|naming its walls, doors and minarets after themselves]] and their forefathers. After an expansion during the reign of the [[Umayyad Caliphate|Umayyad]] [[caliph]] [[Al-Walid I]], it now incorporates the final resting place of Muhammad and the first two [[Rashidun Caliphate|Rashidun caliphs]] [[Abu Bakr]] and [[Umar]] [[Patronymic#Arabic|ibn]] [[Al-Khattab ibn Nufayl|Al-Khattab]].<ref name="Syed">{{harvnb|Ariffin|2005|pp=88-89,109}}</ref> One of the most notable features of the site is the [[Green Dome]] in the south-east corner of the mosque,<ref name="Peterson">{{Cite book |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-0-203-20387-3 |last=Petersen |first=Andrew |title=Dictionary of Islamic Architecture |date=11 March 2002 |page=[https://archive.org/details/dictionaryofisla00andr/page/183 183] |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/dictionaryofisla00andr/page/183 }}</ref> originally [[Aisha]]'s house,<ref name="Syed" /> where the tomb of Muhammad is located. Many pilgrims who perform the [[Hajj]] also go to Medina to [[Ziyarat|visit]] the [[Green Dome]].

== History ==
{{Main|Muhammad in Medina}}
{{See also|History of Islam}}

=== Under Muhammad and the Rashidun (622–660 AD) ===
[[File:Hadith Masjid an-Nabawi Calligraphy 1.png|thumb|A [[hadith]] inscribed in the mosque which says "A prayer in this mosque of mine is better than a thousand prayers anywhere else, except for ''Al-[[Masjid al-Haram]]''."]]

The mosque was built by Muhammad in 622 AD after his arrival in Medina.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Prophet's Mosque [Al-Masjid An-Nabawi]|url=http://www.islamweb.net/emainpage/articles/154991/the-prophets-mosque-al-masjid-an-nabawi|publisher=Islam Web|access-date=17 June 2015}}</ref> Riding a camel called Qaswa, he arrived at the place where this mosque was built, which was being used as a burial ground.{{sfn|Ariffin|2005|p=49}} Refusing to accept the land as a gift from the two orphans, Sahl and Suhayl, who owned the land, he bought the land which was paid for by Abu Ayyub [[Ansar (Islam)|al-Ansari]], and it took seven months to complete the construction of the mosque. It measured {{convert|30.5|×|35.62|m|abbr=on}}.{{sfn|Ariffin|2005|p=49}} The roof which was supported by palm trunks was made of beaten clay and palm leaves. It was at a height of {{convert|3.60|m|abbr=on}}. The three doors of the mosque were the ''Bāb ar-Raḥmah'' ({{Lang|ar|بَاب ٱلرَّحْمَة}}, "Gate of the Mercy") to the south, ''Bāb Jibrīl'' ({{Lang|ar|بَاب جِبْرِيْل}}, "Gate of [[Gabriel]]") to the west, and ''Bāb an-Nisāʾ'' ({{Lang|ar|بَاب ٱلنِّسَاء}}, "Gate of the Women") to the east.{{sfn|Ariffin|2005|p=49}} At this time point in the history of the mosque, the wall of the ''[[qibla]]h'' was facing north to [[Jerusalem]], and the [[Suffah]] was along the northern wall. In the year 7 AH, after the [[Battle of Khaybar]], the mosque was expanded{{sfn|Ariffin|2005|p=50}} to {{convert|47.32|m|abbr=on}} on each side, and three rows of columns were built beside the west wall, which became the place of praying.{{sfn|Ariffin|2005|p=51}} The mosque remained unaltered during the reign of Abu Bakr.{{sfn|Ariffin|2005|p=51}}

Umar demolished all the houses around the mosque, except those of [[Muhammad's wives]], to expand it.<ref>{{cite book|author1=Atiqur Rahman|title=Umar Bin Khattab: The Man of Distinction|year=2003|publisher=Adam Publishers|isbn=978-81-7435-329-0|page=53}}</ref> The new mosque's dimensions became {{convert|57.49|×|66.14|m|abbr=on}}. Sun-dried mud bricks were used to construct the walls of the enclosure. Besides strewing pebbles on the floor, the roof's height was increased to {{convert|5.6|m|abbr=on}}. Umar constructed three more gates for entrance. He also added ''Al-Buṭayḥah'' ({{Lang|ar|ٱلْبُطَيْحَة}}) for people to recite poetry.{{sfn|Ariffin|2005|p=54}}

The third Rashidun caliph [[Uthman]] demolished the mosque in 649. Ten months were spent in building the new rectangular shaped mosque whose face was turned towards the [[Kaaba]] in Mecca. The new mosque measured {{convert|81.40|×|62.58|m|abbr=on}}. The number of gates as well as their names remained the same.{{sfn|Ariffin|2005|p=55}} The enclosure was made of stones laid in mortar. The palm trunk columns were replaced by stone columns which were joined by iron clamps. [[Teakwood]] was used in reconstructing the ceiling filza.{{sfn|Ariffin|2005|p=56}}

=== Under subsequent Islamic states (660–1517 CE or 40–923 AH) ===
[[File:Medina Grab des Propheten.JPG|thumb|The mosque during the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman Era]], in the [[19th century]]]]

In 706 or 707, the [[Umayyad]] caliph [[Al-Walid I]] ({{reign|705|715}}) instructed his governor of Medina, the future caliph [[Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz]], to significantly enlarge the mosque.{{sfn|Hillenbrand|1994|p=73}}{{sfn|Munt|2014|p=106}} According to the architectural historian Robert Hillenbrand, the building of a large scale mosque in Medina, the original center of the caliphate, was an "acknowledgement" by Al-Walid of "his own roots and those of Islam itself" and possibly an attempt to appease Medinan resentment at the loss of the city's political importance to [[Bilad al-Sham|Syria]] under the Umayyads.{{sfn|Hillenbrand|1994|p=73}}

It took three years for the work to be completed.

=== Ottoman period (1517–1805 & 1840–1919 CE, or 923–1220 & 1256–1337 AH) ===
[[File:Masjid an-Nabawi 1750.jpg|thumb|alt=An illustration of the Mosque, 18th century|An illustration of the mosque in the [[18th century]]]]

Sultan [[Suleiman the Magnificent]] (r. 1520-1566) rebuilt the east and west walls of the mosque, and added the northeastern minaret known as ''Süleymaniyye''. He added a new altar called Ahnaf next to Muhammad's altar, Shafi'iyya, and placed a new steel-covered dome on the tomb of Muhammad. Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent wrote the names of the [[Ottoman sultans]] from [[Osman I|Osman Ghazi]] to himself ([[Suleiman the Magnificent|Kanuni]]) and revived the "Gate of Mercy" (''Bab ur-Rahme'') or the west gate. The pulpit that is used today was built under Sultan [[Murad III]] (r. 1574-1595).

In 1817, Sultan [[Mahmud II]] (r. 1808-1839) completed the construction of "the Purified Residence" (''Ar-Rawdah Al-Muṭahharah'' ({{Lang|ar|ٱلرَّوْضَة ٱلْمُطَهَّرَة}}) in [[Arabic]], and ''Ravza-i Mutahhara'' in [[Turkish language|Turkish]]) on the southeast side of the mosque, and covered with a new dome. The dome was painted green in 1837, and has been known as the "[[Green Dome]]" (''Kubbe-i Khadra'') ever since.<ref name="Syed" /> Sultan Mahmud II's successor, Sultan [[Abdülmecid I|Abdulmecid I]] ({{reign|1839|1861}}), took thirteen years to rebuild the mosque, beginning in 1849.{{sfn|Ariffin|2005|p=64}} Red stone bricks were used as the main material in reconstruction of the mosque. The floor area of the mosque was increased by {{convert|1,293|m2|ft2}}.

The entire mosque was reorganized except for the tomb of Muhammad, the three altars, the pulpit and the Suleymaniye minaret. On the walls, verses from the [[Quran]] were inscribed in [[Islamic calligraphy]]. On the northern side of the mosque, a ''[[madrasah]]'' was built for teaching the Qur'an.{{sfn|Ariffin|2005|p=65}} An [[Wudu|ablution]] site was added to the north side. The prayer place on the south side was doubled in width, and covered with small domes. The interiors of the domes were decorated with verses from the Qur'an and couplets from the poem ''[[Qasida al-Burda|Kaside-i Bürde]]''. The ''[[Qibla|qibli]]'' wall was covered with polished tiles with lines inscribed from the Qur'an. The places of prayer and courtyard were paved with marble and red stone. The fifth minaret, ''Mecidiyye'', was built to the west of the surrounded area. Following the "Desert Tiger" [[Fakhri Pasha]]'s arrest by his own officers having resisted for 72 days after the end of the [[Siege of Medina]] on 10 January 1919, 550 years of Ottoman rule in the region came to an end.

Older columns were reinforced with concrete and braced with [[copper]] rings at the top. The ''Suleymaniyya'' and ''Mecidiyye'' minarets were replaced with two minarets in [[Islamic architecture#Mamluk|Mamluk revival]] style. Two additional minarets were erected to the northeast and northwest of the mosque.

== Architecture ==
[[File:Minbar at Masjid Nabvi, Medina.JPG|thumb|right|The ''minbar'' commissioned by Sultan [[Murad III]] is still in use at the mosque today]]

The modern-day mosque is situated on a rectangular plot and is two stories tall. The [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] prayer hall, which is the oldest part of the mosque, lies towards the south. It has a [[flat roof|flat paved roof]] topped with 27 sliding [[dome]]s on square bases.<ref>{{citation |last=Otto |first=Frei |publisher=Bodo Rasch |title=Finding Form: Towards an Architecture of the Minimal |year=1996 |isbn=3-930698-66-8}}</ref> Holes pierced into the base of each dome illuminate the interior when the domes are closed. The sliding roof is closed during the afternoon prayer (''[[Zuhr prayer|Dhuhr]]'') to protect the visitors. When the domes slide out on metal tracks to shade areas of the roof, they create light wells for the prayer hall. At these times, the courtyard of the Ottoman mosque is also shaded with umbrellas affixed to freestanding [[column]]s.<ref>{{cite web|title=Archnet|url=http://archnet.org/sites/3789|work=archnet.org}}</ref> The roof is accessed by stairs and [[escalator]]s.

=== The Green Dome ===
{{main|Green Dome}}
[[File:Gumbad e Khizarah.jpg|thumb|The [[Green Dome]] was given its signature color in 1837]]

The chamber adjacent to the ''Rawdah'' holds the tombs of Muhammad and two of [[Companions of the Prophet|his companions]] and [[Family tree of Muhammad|father-in-laws]], Abu Bakr and Umar. A fourth grave is reserved for [[Jesus in Islam|ʿĪsā]] ([[Jesus]]), as Muslims believe that [[Second Coming|he will return]] and will be buried at the site. The site is covered by the Green Dome. It was constructed in 1817 CE during the reign of the Ottoman sultan [[Mahmud II]] and painted green in 1837 CE.<ref name="Syed" />

=== The Rawdah ===
[[File:Rawdah by Uleke.jpg|thumb|right|''Ar-Rawdah ash-Sharifah'' is mostly crowded with worshippers, and movement is restricted by policemen at all times]]

''Ar-Rawḍah ash-Sharīfah'' ({{lang-ar|ٱلرَّوْضَة ٱلشَّرِيْفَة|lit=The Noble Garden}}) is an area between the ''minbar'' and the burial-chamber of Muhammad. It is regarded as one of the ''Riyāḍ al-[[Jannah]]'' ({{lang-ar|رِيَاض ٱلْجَنَّة|lit=Gardens of the Paradise}}).<ref>{{cite book|author=Malik ibn Anas|author-link=Malik ibn Anas|title=[[Muwatta Imam Malik]]|chapter=14.5.11|chapter-url=http://sunnah.com/urn/404650}}</ref><ref name="Syed" /> A green [[carpet]] was used to distinguish the area from the red carpet used in the rest of the mosque, though it is now also green. Considering visiting Madinah and performing the ''Ziyarah'', Muhammad said:
<blockquote>“Whoever visits me after my death is like he who had visited me during my life.”<ref>{{Cite book|last=Al-Tabarani, Abu Al-Qasim Sulayman Ibn Ahmad Ibn A.|title=Al-mu'jam al-awsat.|date=2013|publisher=Turath For Solutions|isbn=978-9957-65-703-1|location=[Place of publication not identified]|oclc=927110104}}</ref>

=== Mihrabs ===
[[File:Qibla Nabvi mosque.jpg|thumb|The old mihrab constructed by Muhammad. It was remodeled several times over the centuries, and is currently set in marble.]]

There are two [[mihrab]]s or niches indicating the ''qiblah'' in the mosque, one was built by Muhammad and another was built by Uthman. The one built by the latter was larger than that of Muhammad's, and it acts as the functional mihrab, whereas Muhammad's mihrab is a "commemorative" mihrab.{{sfn|Ariffin|2005|p=57}} Besides the ''mihrab'', the mosque also has other niches which act as indicators for praying. This includes the ''Miḥrāb Fāṭimah'' ({{lang-ar|مِحْرَاب فَاطِمَة}}) or ''Miḥrāb at-[[Tahajjud]]'' ({{lang-ar|مِحْرَاب ٱلتَّهَجُّد}}), which was built by Muhammad for the late-night prayer.<ref name="PM">{{cite web|title=The Prophet's Mosque|url=http://www.lastprophet.info/the-prophet-s-mosque-%E2%94%82-masjid-al-nabawi|access-date=19 June 2015|publisher=Last Prophet}}</ref>

=== Minbars ===
The original ''minbar'' ({{lang|ar|مِنـۢبَر}}) used by Muhammad was a block of [[date palm]] wood. This was replaced by him with a [[tamarisk]] one, which had dimensions of {{convert|50|x|125|cm|abbr=on}}. In 629 CE, a three staired ladder was added to it. Abu Bakr and Umar did not use the third step as a sign of respect to Muhammad, but Uthman placed a fabric dome over it, and the rest of the stairs were covered with [[ebony]]. The ''minbar'' was replaced by [[Baybars I]], by [[Shaykh al-Mahmudi]] in 1417, and by [[Qaitbay]] in 1483. In 1590 it was replaced by the Ottoman sultan [[Murad III]] with a marble ''minbar'', while Qaytbay's minbar was moved to the Quba Mosque. As of 2013, the Ottoman minbar is still used in the mosque.<ref name="PM" />

=== Minarets ===
The first [[minaret]]s (four in number) of {{convert|26|ft|m}} high were constructed by Umar. In 1307, a minaret titled ''Bāb as-Salām'' ({{lang|ar|بَاب ٱلسَّلَام}}, "Gate of the [[Peace in Islamic philosophy|Peace]]") was added by Muhammad ibn Kalavun which was renovated by [[Mehmed IV]]. After the renovation project of 1994, there were ten minarets which were {{convert|104|m|ft}} high. The minarets' upper, bottom and middle portion are cylindrical, octagonal and square shaped respectively.<ref name="PM" />

On 23 February 2023, ''[[The Guardian]]'' reported on comments Gill made in a [[WhatsApp]] group which appeared to undermine Sikh victims of sexual violence. Earlier that month, Sikh Women's Aid had published a report which found that two thirds of women surveyed had experienced domestic abuse, with many of the women criticising the inadequate response support given by community leaders. Gill was alleged to have accused the women surveyed of using "very dangerous language" and urged them to submit apologies to [[Gurdwara|gurdwaras]]. A Labour spokesperson stated "though we cannot comment on leaked WhatsApp messages, Preet would never downplay abuse or violence".<ref>{{Cite news |last=Stacey |first=Kiran |last2= |first2= |date=23 February 2023 |title=Labour’s Preet Gill accused of undermining Sikh victims of sexual violence |language=en-GB |work=[[The Guardian]] |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/feb/23/labours-preet-gill-accused-of-undermining-sikh-victims-of-sexual-violence |access-date=23 February 2023 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>

'''Karamjit Singh''' ({{lang-pa|ਕਰਮਜੀਤ ਸਿੰਘ|Karamajīta sigha}}; born 29 January 1962), also known as the '''Flying Sikh''', is a [[Malaysia]]n professional [[racing driver|race driver]] in [[rallying]], and was the first [[Asia]]n driver to win the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]] (FIA) [[Production Car World Championship]] for Drivers, doing so on his first try. He has been rallying professionally since 1985. He has won the 2001 [[Asia Pacific Rally Championship]] for Drivers, the 2002 FIA Production Car World Championship for Drivers, as well as the 2002 and 2004 FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship for Drivers. He has raced for the [[Petronas]] EON Racing Team and Team [[Proton Holdings|Proton]] Pert Malaysia using Proton [[4WD]] rally [[car]]s. His co-drivers have been (in chronological order) [[Ron Teoh]], [[Allen Oh]] and John Bennie. Karamjit is currently racing a [[2WD]] [[Proton Satria R3|Proton Satria Neo CPS R3]] for the [[CUSCO Japan]] team in the Asia Pacific Rally Championships in 2011<ref>[http://paultan.org/2011/05/11/karamjit-singh-to-make-aprc-comeback-at-this-weekends-rally-of-queensland-driving-a-cusco-satria-neo-2wd/ Karamjit Singh to make APRC comeback at this weekend’s Rally of Queensland, driving a CUSCO Satria Neo 2WD!]</ref> after moving from the Proton R3 Malaysia Rally Team<ref>[http://paultan.org/2009/08/13/proton-r3-malaysia-rally-team-with-neo-s2000-and-karamjitjagdev-officially-launched/ Proton R3 Malaysia Rally Team with Neo S2000 and Karamjit and Jagdev officially launched!]</ref>

==Sponsorship difficulties==
In 2005, Singh began facing trouble in finding sponsors, and was unable to participate in half out of the eight rounds in the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship. His team itself did not have enough money to pay for [[mechanic]]s and maintenance of his vehicle, and due to his absence from so many rounds in the championship, the FIA slapped him with a fine of 10,000 [[Euro]]s. Singh did not even have enough money to ship his vehicle back to Malaysia from [[New Zealand]], which itself would cost about [[Malaysian ringgit|RM]]57,000. Singh's plight made the headlines of a few [[newspaper]]s in Malaysia, who had been informed that Singh was in the process of selling off his [[apartment]] to pay his fine and ship his car home.

When informed about the possibility of receiving public or government assistance, Singh refused such offers, stating that he believed he could find enough corporate sponsors to avoid burdening the public. Rather than accepting assistance from individuals, Singh said he would consider racing for another country. When informed, the [[Prime Minister of Malaysia]], [[Abdullah Ahmad Badawi]] reportedly asked: "If Karamjit is a Malaysian and has been producing results and bringing honour to the country, why has support not been accorded to him?"

The Malaysian Sports Minister, [[Azalina Othman Said]], was also reported as stating that she had been ordered to look into the matter, and that "we want to find out why the private sector have not come forward and secondly, if Karamjit has someone to manage him and put forward his cause in the right perspective so sponsors can come forward and use the spin-off from their association."

==Sponsorship resolved (July 2007)==
After a couple of year partial absence from the rally arena, now Karamjit Singh has the opportunities to have a kickback in action via a new management and sponsorship. Teamed up with corporate entities (Aldwich Berhad), Karamjit has starting a new team known as Team Templer Motorsport. And Also A Logistic Company In PJ sponsored. Alps Freight Logistics.

'''Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range''' is a [[shooting range]] in [[New Delhi]], India. Spread over 18 acres, it is situated on [[South Delhi]] ridges in the backdrop of Adilabad Fort, near the historic [[Tughlaqabad Fort]] to its North and [[Surajkund]] Lake to its South West. It was first constructed for the [[1982 Asian Games]] in New Delhi, and later rebuilt altogether for the [[2010 Commonwealth Games]]. It was named after [[Karni Singh]], who won the silver medal at the 38th [[World Shooting Championships]] at Cairo in 1962 and was the first shooter to be awarded the [[Arjuna Award]] in 1961.<ref name=cwg>[http://d2010.thecgf.com/dr_karni_singh_shooting_range Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range] [[2010 Commonwealth Games]] website.</ref> The reconstruction work started on 25 October 2008 and the project was completed at a cost of Rs. 150 crore in 13 months.

In October 2008 the structure of the range was fully demolished and was built under a project a plan costing Rs. 150 crore (U$33.8 m), it was completed in 13 months.<ref>{{cite web |title=Game for the Show |url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?264891 |date=12 April 2010 |publisher=[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook]]}}</ref> Spread over {{convert|72|acre|m2}}, the Range has been divided into six parts – a 10-metre range, a 25-metre range, a 50-metre range, a final range, trap and skeet range and a new armoury building which were constructed with state-of-the-art technology . The earlier separate ranges for Trap and Skeet were converted into new composite ranges for Trap and Skeet with scoring equipment.

For the 10-metre shooting range, a centrally air-conditioned indoor facility with complete power back-up was constructed with a capacity of maximum of 500 spectators. Two different grids will be providing electricity to ensure complete power back-up.

The trap and skeet range is an outdoor venue with only the seating area covered; the shooter though has shade on his head. There are 50 firing points for this range.

The rebuilding of the site was followed by massive plantation and beautification would to make the site more attractive. There are also plans for constructing a 200-seated hostel which will be a self-contained facility to help the campers.

It is regarded as one of the world's best shooting range by various [[2010 Commonwealth Games]] shooters.,<ref>[http://www.cwgdelhi2010.org/news/foreign_shooters_awe_dr_karni_singh_shooting_range Foreign shooters in awe of Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range] [[2010 Commonwealth Games]], 9 October 2010.</ref> also near by is the [[Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary]].

Ad hoc

2022-11-09T21:15:07Z

ShelaBerryman77: Created an engaging write-up.

{{short description|Latin phrase signifying a solution meant to address one specific problem or task}}
{{About|the Latin phrase}}
{{Use dmy dates}}

'''Ad hoc''' is a [[List of Latin phrases|Latin phrase]] meaning literally 'for this'. In [[English language|English]], it typically signifies a solution for a specific purpose, problem, or task rather than a [[Generalization|generalized]] solution adaptable to collateral instances. (Compare with ''[[a priori and a posteriori|a priori]]''.)

Common examples are ad hoc [[committee]]s and commissions created at the national or international level for a specific task. In other fields, the term could refer to, for example, a military unit created under special circumstances (see ''[[task force]]''), a handcrafted [[network protocol]] (e.g., [[ad hoc network]]), a temporary banding together of geographically-linked franchise locations (of a given national brand) to issue advertising coupons, or a purpose-specific [[equation]].

Ad hoc can also be an adjective describing the temporary, provisional, or improvised methods to deal with a particular problem, the tendency of which has given rise to the noun ''[[Adhocracy|adhocism]]''.<ref>American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms, 2nd Edition</ref>

==Styling==
Style guides disagree on whether Latin phrases like ad hoc should be italicized. The trend is not to use italics.<ref>Yateendra Joshi, " [https://www.editage.com/insights/latin-phrases-in-scientific-writing-italics-or-not Latin phrases in scientific writing: italics or not]", ''editage Insights'', January 14, 2014</ref> For example, ''[[The Chicago Manual of Style]]'' recommends that familiar Latin phrases that are listed in the ''[[Webster's Dictionary]]'', including "ad hoc", not be italicized.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://grammarpartyblog.com/2012/02/23/when-to-italicize-foreign-words-and-phrases/ |title=When to italicize foreign words and phrases |publisher=Grammarpartyblog.com |access-date=2016-01-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.economist.com/style-guide/italics |title=Italics |newspaper=The Economist |access-date=2016-01-06}}</ref>

==Hypothesis==
{{Main|Ad hoc hypothesis}}
In [[science]] and [[philosophy]], ad hoc means the addition of extraneous [[hypothesis|hypotheses]] to a [[theory]] to save it from being [[falsified]]. Ad hoc hypotheses compensate for anomalies not anticipated by the theory in its unmodified form.

Scientists are often [[Scientific skepticism|skeptical]] of [[scientific theories]] that rely on frequent, unsupported adjustments to sustain them. Ad hoc hypotheses are often characteristic of [[pseudoscience|pseudo-scientific]] subjects such as [[homeopathy]].<ref>{{citation |author-last=Carroll |author-first=Robert T. |title=Ad hoc hypothesis |work=[[The Skeptic's Dictionary]] |publisher=[[John Wiley & Sons]] |access-date=2013-05-27 |url=http://skepdic.com/adhoc.html}}</ref>

==In the military==
[[File:Changing of the Guard parade Ottawa.JPG|thumb|The [[Ceremonial Guard]] parading in [[Ottawa]]. The CG is an ad hoc unit of the [[Canadian Forces]].]]
In the military, ad hoc units are created during unpredictable situations, when the cooperation between different units is suddenly needed for fast action, or from remnants of previous units which have been overrun or otherwise whittled down.

==In governance==
In national and sub-national governance, ad hoc bodies may be established to deal with specific problems not easily accommodated by the current structure of governance or to address multi-faceted issues spanning several areas of governance. In the UK and other [[Commonwealth of Nations|commonwealth]] countries, ad hoc [[Royal Commission]]s <ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/258957.stm|publisher=BBC|access-date=4 May 2021|title=Royal commissions }}</ref> may be set up to address specific questions as directed by [[parliament]].

==Networking==
{{main|Wireless ad hoc network}}
The term ''ad hoc networking'' typically refers to a system of network elements that combine to form a network requiring little or no planning.

[[File:Malay Regiment operatives 1949.JPG|thumb|Members of the [[Royal Malay Regiment]] during the [[Malayan Emergency]] in 1949, inspecting equipment captured in a raid]]
A '''state of emergency''' is a situation in which a government is empowered to put through policies that it would normally not be permitted to do, for the safety and protection of its citizens. A government can declare such a state during a [[natural disaster]], [[civil unrest]], [[armed conflict]], medical [[pandemic]] or [[epidemic]] or other [[biosecurity]] risk.

== Relationship with international law ==
Under [[international law]], rights and freedoms may be suspended during a state of emergency, depending on the severity of the [[emergency]] and a government's policies.

==Use and viewpoints==
Though fairly uncommon in democracies,{{Clarify}} [[dictatorship|dictatorial]] regimes often declare a state of emergency that is prolonged indefinitely for the life of the regime, or for extended periods of time so that derogations can be used to override [[human rights]] of their citizens usually protected by the [[International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights]] (ICCPR).<ref>See Judson, 2012, "[http://otago.ourarchive.ac.nz/handle/10523/2279 Where is R2P grounded in international law]".</ref> In some situations, [[martial law]] is also declared, allowing the [[military]] greater authority to act. In other situations, emergency is not declared and de facto measures taken or decree-law adopted by the government. [[Nicole Questiaux]] (France) and [[Leandro Despouy]] (Argentina), two consecutive [[United Nations Special Rapporteurs]], have recommended to the international community to adopt the following "principles" to be observed during a state or de facto situation of emergency: Principles of Legality, Proclamation, Notification, Time Limitation, Exceptional Threat, Proportionality, Non-Discrimination, Compatibility, Concordance and Complementarity of the Various Norms of International Law (cf. "Question of Human Rights and State of Emergency", E/CN.4/Sub.2/1997/19, at Chapter II; see also ''[[:fr:état d'exception|état d'exception]]'').

Article 4 to the ICCPR, permits states to [[Derogation|derogate]] from certain rights guaranteed by the ICCPR in "time of public emergency". Any measures derogating from obligations under the Covenant, however, must be to only the extent required by the exigencies of the situation, and must be announced by the State Party to the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations]]. The [[European Convention on Human Rights]]<ref>''[[European Convention on Human Rights]]'', Article 15</ref> and [[American Convention on Human Rights]]<ref>''[[American Convention on Human Rights]]'', Article 27</ref> have similar derogatory provisions. No derogation is permitted to the [[ILO Conventions|International Labour Conventions]].

Some, such as [[political theory|political theorist]] and [[Nazi Party]] member [[Carl Schmitt]], have argued that the [[Power (philosophy)|power]] to decide the initiation of the state of emergency defines [[sovereignty]] itself. In [[State of Exception (2005)|''State of Exception'' (2005)]], [[Giorgio Agamben]] criticized this idea, arguing that the mechanism of the state of emergency deprives certain people of their [[civil and political rights]], producing his interpretation of ''[[homo sacer]]''.<ref>{{Harvnb|Agamben|2005}}</ref>

=== Graduation ===
In many [[democracy|democratic]] states there are a selection of [[constitutional law|legal]] definitions for specific states of emergency,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.astho.org/Programs/Preparedness/Public-Health-Emergency-Law/Emergency-Authority-and-Immunity-Toolkit/Emergency-Declarations-and-Authorities-Fact-Sheet/|title=Emergency Declarations and Authorities Fact Sheet | State Public Health | ASTHO|website=www.astho.org}}</ref> when the [[constitution]] of the [[State (polity)|State]] is partially in abeyance depending on the nature of the perceived threat to the [[general public]]. In order of severity these may include:
* [[Martial law]]: when civil rights are severely restricted by the imposition of [[military force]] within a [[Sovereign state]], for example during a period of extreme threat of [[invasion]] or actual [[hostilities]] by foreign forces
* State of siege: when the civil rights of specified persons or groups such as [[activist|political activists]] are likely to be curtailed, for example to prevent an [[insurrection]] or organised acts of [[treason]] by suspected [[Agent provocateur|agents provocateurs]]
* [[emergency|Civil emergency]]: dealing with [[disaster area]]s and requiring the deployment of extraordinary resources to contain dangerous situations such as [[natural disaster]]s or extensive [[Malice (law)|malicious]] [[property damage]] such as may occur during [[riot]]ing or by [[arson]]. As well as regular [[emergency service]]s, sometimes [[military forces]] may be assigned to deliver aid under especially [[Emergency procedure#Escalating Situations|dangerous conditions]] or to prevent [[looting]]

=== Abuse ===
The state of emergency can be [[abuse]]d by being invoked. An example would be to allow a state to suppress internal opposition without having to respect human rights. An example was the [[1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt|August 1991 attempted coup]] in the [[Soviet Union]] (USSR) where the coup leaders invoked a state of emergency; the failure of the coup led to the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]].

Derogations by states having ratified or acceded to binding international agreements such as the ICCPR, the [[American Convention on Human Rights|American]] and [[European Convention on Human Rights|European Conventions on Human Rights]] and the International Labour Conventions are monitored by independent expert committees, regional Courts and other State Parties.<ref name=BBC />

== Law in selected countries ==

=== Argentina ===
The [[Constitution of Argentina]], which has been amended several times, has always allowed for a state of emergency (literally ''estado de sitio'', "state of siege"), to be declared if the constitution or the authorities it creates are endangered by internal unrest or foreign attack. This provision was much abused during dictatorships, with long-lasting states of siege giving the government a free hand to suppress opposition.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://derecho.laguia2000.com/derecho-politico/estado-de-sitio |title=State of emergency in Argentina and other Spanish-speaking countries (in Spanish) |publisher=Derecho.laguia2000.com |access-date=29 March 2011}}</ref> The [[American Convention on Human Rights]] (Pacto de San José de Costa Rica), adopted in 1969 but ratified by Argentina only in 1984 immediately after the end of the [[National Reorganization Process]], restricts abuse of the state of emergency by requiring any signatory nation declaring such a state to inform the other signatories of its circumstances and duration, and what rights are affected.

=== Australia ===
{{See also|Exceptional circumstances|Biosecurity in Australia|Biosecurity Act 2015}}
State-of-emergency legislation differs in each state of Australia. With regard to emergency management, regions (usually on a [[local government area]] basis) that have been affected by a [[natural disaster]] are the responsibility of the state, until that state declares a State of Emergency where access to the Federal Emergency Fund becomes available to help respond to and recover from natural disasters. A State of Emergency does not apply to the whole state, but rather [[districts]] or [[shire]]s, where essential services may have been disrupted.<ref>{{Cite web|last=State of Queensland|title=Disaster and Emergency Incident Plan|url=https://www.health.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0031/628267/disaster-emergency-incident-plan.pdf|website=Queensland Government}}</ref>

On 18 March 2020,<ref name=decl /> a nationwide human biosecurity emergency was declared in Australia owing to the risks to human health posed by the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Australia|coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic]], after the [[National Security Committee (Australia)|National Security Committee]] met the previous day. The ''[[Biosecurity Act 2015]]''<ref name=bioact2019>{{cite web |title=Biosecurity Act 2015 |website=Federal Register of Legislation |url=https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2019C00097 |publisher=Australian Government |access-date=30 March 2020}}</ref> specifies that the [[Governor-General of Australia|governor-general of Australia]] may declare such an emergency if the [[Minister for Health (Australia)|Health Minister]] is satisfied that "a listed human disease is posing a severe and immediate threat, or is causing harm, to human health on a nationally significant scale". This gives the Minister sweeping powers, including imposing restrictions or preventing the movement of people and goods between specified places, and [[Emergency evacuation|evacuations]].<ref name=emergdec>{{cite news |last=McPhee |first=Sarah |title=Human biosecurity emergency declared in Australia |newspaper=News.com.au — Australia's Leading News Site |url=https://www.news.com.au/national/politics/coronavirus-australia-human-biosecurity-emergency-declared/news-story/cd7fbff78297c076c8bb774595459c59 |access-date=30 March 2020}}</ref> The ''Biosecurity (Human Biosecurity Emergency) (Human Coronavirus with Pandemic Potential) Declaration 2020'' was declared by the Governor-General, [[David Hurley]], under Section 475 of the Act.<ref name=decl>{{cite document |url=https://nswbar.asn.au/uploads/pdf-documents/biosecurity_emergency.pdf |title=Biosecurity (Human Biosecurity Emergency) (Human Coronavirus with Pandemic Potential) Declaration 2020 |access-date=30 March 2020 |publisher=Commonwealth of Australia}}</ref>

==== New South Wales ====
In [[New South Wales]], the [[Premier of New South Wales|NSW Premier]] can, pursuant to the ''State Emergency and Rescue Management Act 1989'', declare a state of emergency due to an actual or imminent occurrence (such as fire, flood, storm, earthquake, explosion, terrorist act, accident, epidemic or warlike action) which endangers, or threatens to endanger, the safety or health of persons or animals in the State, or destroys or damages, or threatens to destroy or damage, property in the State, or causes a failure of, or a significant disruption to, an essential service or infrastructure.<ref>{{Cite Legislation AU|NSW|act|searma1989331|State Emergency and Rescue Management Act 1989|4}}</ref> The Premier declared a state of emergency on 11 November 2019 in response to the [[2019-2020 Australian bushfire season#New South Wales|2019–2020 New South Wales bushfires]]. It was the fifth time that a state of emergency had been declared in that state since 2006 and it lasted for seven days. Subsequent declarations were made on 19 December for a further seven days, and again on 2 January 2020. In NSW, the [[2019–20 Australian bushfire season|2019–2020 bushfire season]] resulted in 26 deaths, destroyed 2,448 homes, and burnt {{convert|5.5|e6ha|e6acre|abbr=off}}.<ref name=":15">{{cite journal |title=Unprecedented season breaks all records |url=https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/174823/Bush-Fire-Bulletin-Vol-42-No1.pdf|journal=Bush Fire Bulletin |location=Sydney |publisher=NSW Rural Fire Service |volume=42 |issue=1 |page=3 |issn=1033-7598 |access-date=12 August 2020 }}</ref><ref name="BBC News 2020-02-14">{{cite news |author=Mao, Frances |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-51498193 |title=Australia weather: How much rain did it take to put out NSW fires? |work=[[BBC News]] |location=UK |access-date=16 February 2020}}</ref>

==== Victoria ====
In [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], the [[Premier of Victoria|Victorian Premier]] can declare a '''state of emergency''' under the ''Public Safety Preservation Act 1958''<ref>{{Cite Legislation AU|VIC|act|pspa1958298|Public Safety Preservation Act 1958}}</ref> if there is a threat to employment, safety or public order.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/jan/03/victoria-fires-state-of-disaster-declared-as-evacuation-ordered-and-second-man-found-dead |title=Victorian fires: state of disaster declared as evacuation ordered and 28 people missing |work=[[Guardian Australia]] |access-date=14 August 2020 |agency=[[Australian Associated Press]]}}</ref> A declared state of emergency allows the Premier to immediately make any desired regulations to secure public order and safety. The declaration expires after 30 days, and a resolution of either the upper or lower House of [[Parliament of Victoria|Parliament]] may revoke it earlier. However, these regulations expire if [[Victorian Parliament|Parliament]] does not agree to continue them within seven days.

The Premier (or a delegate) may operate or prohibit operation of any '''essential service''', such as transport, fuel, power, water or gas, under the ''Essential Services Act 1958''.<ref>{{Cite Legislation AU|VIC|act|esa1958208|Essential Services Act 1958}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Legislation AU|VIC|act|esa1958208|Essential Services Act 1958|5}}</ref>

If there is an emergency which the Premier, after considering the advice of the relevant Minister and the [[Emergency Management Victoria#Management and reporting|Emergency Management Commissioner]], is satisfied constitutes or is likely to constitute a significant and widespread danger to life or property in Victoria, the Premier, pursuant to the ''Emergency Management Act 1986'', may declare a '''state of disaster''' to exist in the whole or in any part or parts of the State.<ref>{{Cite Legislation AU|VIC|act|ema1986190|Emergency Management Act 1986|23}}</ref> The state of disaster addresses matters beyond public health issues and is intended to deal with emergencies such as natural disasters, explosions, terrorism or sieges, and it can also be used to deal with 'a plague or an epidemic'.<ref>{{cite web |author=Twomey, Anne |author-link=Anne Twomey (academic) |url=https://theconversation.com/explainer-what-is-a-state-of-disaster-and-what-powers-does-it-confer-143807 |title=Explainer: what is a 'state of disaster' and what powers does it confer? |work=[[The Conversation (website)|The Conversation]] |access-date=14 August 2020}}</ref>

The ''Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008'' gives the Chief Health Officer extensive powers to take action ‘to investigate, eliminate or reduce public health risks’, including power to detain, restrict the movement of or prevent entry of any person in the emergency area, "and to give any other direction that the authorised officer considers is reasonably necessary to protect public health."<ref>''Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008'' , s 200.</ref>

=== Brazil ===
The current [[constitution of Brazil]]<ref>{{cite web|title=Presidência da República Casa Civil Subchefia para Assuntos Jurídicosur|url=http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/constituicao/constituicao.htm}}</ref> allows the [[President of Brazil|president]] to declare two states, in order to "preserve or establish peace and order, threatened by grave and imminent institutional instability or severe natural disasters".

The first, and less severe state is the ''state of defense'' (''estado de defesa'', in Portuguese), while a more severe form is the ''state of siege'' (''estado de sítio'').

In a ''state of defense'', the federal government can occupy and use any public building or demand any service as it sees fit. It may suppress [[secrecy of correspondence]] and [[freedom of assembly]] as necessary, as long as it specifies a defined region and time period.

If president finds the ''state of defense'' insufficient, it might decree a ''state of siege''. This state further reduces [[civil liberties]], removing [[freedom of movement]], allowing for search without consent or warrant, and [[seizure]] of any assets the government deems necessary. The government may also intervene and direct the function of any company.

To balance this far-reaching powers, the [[National Congress of Brazil]] has to convene and approve the state in ten days or it is automatically cancelled. Further, the state of siege has to be revised by the congress every 30 days, unless it was raised as response to a war, in which case the government is free to set it to last until the end of the war.

Since the end of the [[Military dictatorship in Brazil|military dictatorship]] in 1985, and the formation of the [[History of Brazil since 1985|sixth Brazilian Republic]], neither state has ever been raised.

=== Canada ===
{{Main|War Measures Act|Emergencies Act|States of emergency in Canada}}

The Emergencies Act replaced the [[War Measures Act]] in 1988. The War Measures Act was invoked three times in Canadian history, most controversially by Prime Minister [[Pierre Trudeau]] during the 1970 [[October Crisis]], and also by Prime Minister [[Robert Borden]] during [[World War I]] (from 1914 to 1920, against threat of Communism during the [[Revolutions of 1917–1923]]) and by Prime Minister [[William Lyon Mackenzie King]] during [[World War II]] (from 1942 to 1945, against perceived threat from [[Japanese Canadians]] following [[Empire of Japan|Imperial Japan's]] [[attack on Pearl Harbor]]).

Under the current Emergency Act a state of emergency can also be declared by provincial, territorial, and municipal governments.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/stateofemergency/ |title=State of Emergency FAQ |publisher=Cbc.ca |access-date=29 March 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110511111456/http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/stateofemergency/ |archive-date=11 May 2011}}</ref> In addition Canada's federal government and any of its provincial governments can suspend, for five years at a time, [[Charter of Rights and Freedoms|Charter]] rights to fundamental freedoms in section 2, to legal rights in sections 7 through 14, and to equality rights in section 15 by legislation which invokes [[Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms|the notwithstanding clause, section 33]], and therefore emergency powers can effectively be created even without using the Emergency Act.

Provincial governments can also invoke [[States of emergency in Canada|states of emergency]], and have done to respond to at least 12 incidents during the 21st century.{{citation needed}}

The first usage of the Emergencies Act was invoked by Prime Minister [[Justin Trudeau]] on 14 February 2022 in response to the [[Freedom Convoy 2022]] protests that occupied the capital of [[Ottawa]]. The [[House of Commons of Canada|Canadian House of Commons]] voted to approve the invocation 185–151 with support from the [[Liberal Party of Canada|Liberal Party]] and the [[New Democratic Party]] and opposition from the [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservative Party]] and the [[Bloc Québécois]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Major|first=Darren|title=Emergencies Act passes crucial House of Commons vote with NDP support|work=[[CBC News]]|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-emergencies-act-vote-1.6359243|access-date=22 February 2022}}</ref> Prime Minister Trudeau previously considered invoking it at the beginning of the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Canada|COVID-19 pandemic]] in April 2020, but faced unanimous disapproval from all thirteen [[Premier (Canada)|provincial and territorial premiers]] at the [[Council of the Federation]].<ref>{{Cite news|last1=Hall|first1=Chris|last2=Tunney|first2=Catharine|title=As supply concerns grow, Ottawa lays the groundwork for never-used Emergencies Act|work=[[CBC News]]|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/emergencies-act-province-letter-1.5526496|access-date=22 February 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last1=Cochrane|first1=David|last2=Cullen|first2=Catharine|last3=Tunney|first3=Catharine|title=Need for Emergencies Act rejected by premiers on call with PM|work=[[CBC News]]|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/emergencies-act-premiers-consensus-1.5529119|access-date=22 February 2022}}</ref>

{{Main|States of emergency in France}}
Three main provisions concern various kind of "state of emergency" in France: Article 16 of the [[Constitution of France|Constitution of 1958]] allows, in time of crisis, "extraordinary powers" to the president. Article 36 of the same constitution regulates "state of siege" (''[[:fr:État de siège (France)|état de siège]]''). Finally, the Act of 3 April 1955 allows the proclamation, by the Council of Ministers, of the "state of emergency" (''[[:fr:État d'urgence en France|état d'urgence]]'').<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000000695350 |title=Loi n°55-385 du 3 avril 1955 instituant un état d'urgence et en déclarant l'application en Algérie |language= fr |publisher=Legifrance.gouv.fr |access-date=29 March 2011}}</ref> The distinction between article 16 and the 1955 Act concerns mainly the distribution of powers: whereas in article 16, the executive power basically suspend the regular procedures of the Republic, the 1955 Act permits a twelve-day state of emergency, after which a new law extending the emergency must be voted by the [[French Parliament|Parliament of France]]. These dispositions have been used at various times: three times during the [[Algerian War]] (in 1955, 1958 and 1961), in 1984 during violent pro-independence revolts in [[New Caledonia]], during the [[2005 French riots|2005 riots]], and following the [[November 2015 Paris attacks|2015 Paris terrorist attacks]].

=== Germany ===

The [[Weimar Constitution]] (1919–1933)<ref>Weimar constitution technically remained in effect throughout the Nazi era (1933–1945).</ref> allowed states of emergency under [[Article 48 (Weimar Constitution)|Article 48]] to deal with rebellions. Article 48 was often invoked during the 14-year life of the [[Weimar Republic]], sometimes for no reason other than to allow the government to act when it was unable to obtain a [[Majority government|parliamentary majority]].

After 27 February 1933, [[Reichstag fire]], an attack blamed on the [[Communist Party of Germany|communists]], [[Adolf Hitler]] declared a state of emergency using Article 48, and then had President [[Paul von Hindenburg]] sign the [[Reichstag Fire Decree]], which suspended some of the basic [[civil liberties]] provided by the [[Weimar Constitution]] (such as [[habeas corpus]], [[freedom of expression]], [[Freedom of speech|freedom of the speech]], the [[Freedom of assembly|freedom to assemble]] or the privacy of communications) for the whole duration of the [[Third Reich]].<ref name=ReichstagFireDecree>{{cite web|title=Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of People and State|url=https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/reichstag-fire-decree}}</ref> On 23 March, the Reichstag enacted the [[Enabling Act of 1933]] with the required two-thirds majority, which enabled Chancellor Adolf Hitler and his cabinet to enact laws without legislative participation. The Weimar Constitution was never actually repealed by [[Nazi Germany]], but it effectively became inoperable after the passage of the Enabling Act.<ref name=Evans>{{Cite book| last=Evans | first=Richard J. | author-link=Richard J.

In the postwar [[Federal Republic of Germany]] the ''[[German Emergency Acts|Emergency Acts]]'' state that some of the basic constitutional rights of the [[Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany|Basic Law]] may be limited in case of a [[State of Defence (Germany)|state of defence]], a state of tension, or an internal state of emergency or disaster (catastrophe). These amendments to the constitution were passed on 30 May 1968, despite fierce opposition by the so-called ''extra-parliamentary opposition'' (see [[German student movement#Emergency Acts|German student movement]] for details).

Although the [[People's Liberation Army Hong Kong Garrison]] may not interfere in internal Hong Kong affairs, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government may invoke Article 14 of the Hong Kong Basic Law and request permission of the Central People's Government to have the garrison assist in "maintenance of public order or disaster relief".<ref name="basiclaw.gov.hk" />

Since 1997, a State of Emergency has never been declared. However, emergency measures have been used in varying degrees over the years during British rule and after the establishment of the Special Administrative Region. A few notable mentions are as follow:

On 4 October 2019, [[Carrie Lam]], the Chief Executive of Hong Kong S.A.R., invoked Section 2(1) of the [[Emergency Regulations Ordinance]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hklii.hk/eng/hk/legis/ord/241/|title=CAP 241 Emergency Regulations Ordinance|website=www.hklii.hk|access-date=19 November 2019}}</ref> implemented since 1922 and last amended by the Legislative Council in 1999, which allow the government to implement the new, [[Prohibition on Face Covering Regulation]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hklii.hk/eng/hk/legis/reg/241K/|title=CAP 241K PROHIBITION ON FACE COVERING REGULATION|website=www.hklii.hk|access-date=19 November 2019}}</ref> The new regulation forbid public assembly participants from wearing masks or obscure faces during such events without reasonable excuses. The permitted excuses are: pre-existing medical or health reasons, religious reasons, and if the person uses the face covering for physical safety while performing an activity connected with their profession or employment. Any person defying the new regulation face possible criminal prosecution. The government's motive in doing so is to end months of social unrest and riots, however, did not declare a "State of Emergency". The new regulation took effect at 00:00 HKT on 5 October 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/201910/04/P2019100400613.htm|title=Prohibition on Face Covering Regulation gazetted|website=www.info.gov.hk|access-date=9 October 2019}}</ref> Offenders risked a maximum of one-year imprisonment or a fine of HK$25,000 (US$3,200).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.news.gov.hk/eng/2019/10/20191004/20191004_181429_379.html|title=Anti-mask law gazetted|website=Hong Kong's Information Services Department|language=zh-hk|access-date=19 November 2019}}</ref>

The [[High Court of Hong Kong]] denied an application for a judicial injunction of the anti-mask law, on the same night shortly before the new regulation took effect. A subsequent attempt by [[pro-democrats]] to halt the new regulation also failed, however, the court recommended a judicial review at a later date.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1485021-20191008.htm?archive_date=2019-10-08|title=Judge explains reason for not allowing injunction – RTHK|website=news.rthk.hk|language=en-gb|access-date=19 November 2019}}</ref>

On 18 November 2019, the High Court ruled the "Cap. 241 Emergency Regulations Ordinance" is "incompatible with the Basic Law", however, the court "leaves open the question of the constitutionality of the ERO insofar as it relates to any occasion of emergency." The court also held the ordinance meets the "prescribed by law" requirement. However, the court deemed s3(1)(b), (c), (d) and s5 of the regulation do not meet the proportionality test as they impose restrictions on fundamental rights that goes beyond what is necessary in furthering its intended goals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hklii.hk/eng/hk/cases/hkcfi/2019/2820.html|title=KWOK WING HANG AND OTHERS v.

On 22 November 2019, the High Court made the following remark:<blockquote>Nevertheless, we recognise that our Judgment is only a judgment at first instance, and will soon be subject to an appeal to the Court of Appeal.

{{update section}}
According to the [[Constitution of Hungary|Hungarian Constitution]], the [[National Assembly of Hungary]] can declare state of emergency in case of armed rebellion or natural or industrial disaster. It expires after 30 days, but can be extended. Most civil rights can be suspended, but basic human rights (such as the right to life, the ban of torture, and freedom of religion) cannot.

During state of emergency, the Parliament cannot be disbanded.

=== Iceland ===
The [[Constitution of Iceland|Icelandic constitution]] provides no mechanism for the declaration of war, martial law nor state of emergency.

=== India ===
{{Main|States of emergency in India}}

The State of Emergency can be proclaimed by the [[President of India]], when he/she perceives grave threats to the nation, albeit through the advice of the [[Union Council of Ministers]]. Part XVIII of the [[Constitution of India]] gives the President the power to overrule many provisions, including the ones guaranteeing [[fundamental right]]s to the [[citizen]]s of India

In India, a state of emergency was declared twice:

# Between 26 October 1962 to 10 January 1968 during the [[Sino-Indian War]]—the security of India having been declared "threatened by external aggression".<ref name=":02">{{Cite book |last=Austin |first=Granville |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r42bAAAAMAAJ |title=Working a Democratic Constitution: The Indian Experience |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=1999 |isbn=0195648889 |pages=63–66 |language=en}}</ref>
# Between 3 December 1971 to 21 March 1977 originally proclaimed during the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971|Indo-Pakistani War]], and later extended on 25 June 1975, along with the third proclamation—the security of India having been declared "threatened by external aggression" and by "internal disturbances".

The first internal State of Emergency, popularly known as [[The Emergency (India)|the Emergency]], was declared by the then President [[Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed]] on advice of then Prime Minister, [[Indira Gandhi]]. The provisions of the Constitution allows the Prime Minister to rule by [[decree]].

=== Ireland ===
In the [[Republic of Ireland]] declaring a state of "national emergency" involves Article 28.3.3° of the 1937 [[Constitution of Ireland]], which states that:<ref>{{cite book |chapter-url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/cons/en/html#article28_3_3|title=Constitution of Ireland|series=[[Irish Statute Book]]|chapter=Article 28.3.3° |access-date=31 March 2017}}</ref>

In addition, during a "war or armed rebellion", [[military tribunal]]s may try civilians,<ref>{{cite book |chapter-url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/cons/en/html#article38_4_1|title=Constitution of Ireland|series=[[Irish Statute Book]]|chapter=Article 38.4.1° |access-date=2 January 2018}}</ref> and the [[Defence Forces (Ireland)|Defence Forces]] are not bound by [[habeas corpus]].<ref>{{cite book |chapter-url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/cons/en/html#article40_4_5|title=Constitution of Ireland|series=[[Irish Statute Book]]|chapter=Article 40.4.5° |access-date=2 January 2018}}</ref>

The [[First Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland|First Amendment of the Constitution]] of 1939 allows an emergency to be declared during wars in which the state is a [[non-belligerent]], subject to [[resolution (law)|resolutions]] by the houses of the [[Oireachtas]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1939/ca/1/section/1/enacted/en/html#sec1|title=First Amendment of the Constitution Act, 1939., Section 1|work=[[Irish Statute Book]]|access-date=31 March 2017}}</ref> By the [[Second Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland|2nd Amendment]] of 1941, an emergency ends, not automatically when the war does, but only by Oireachtas resolutions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1941/ca/2/schedule/enacted/en/html#sched|title=Second Amendment of the Constitution Act, 1941., Schedule|work=[[Irish Statute Book]]|pages=Ref No.22 |no-pp=y|access-date=31 March 2017}}</ref> The [[Twenty-first Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland|21st Amendment]] of 2002 prevents the [[Capital punishment in Ireland|reintroduction of capital punishment]] during an emergency.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2001/ca/21/schedule/enacted/en/html#sched-partii|title=Twenty-First Amendment of the Constitution Act, 2001, Schedule, Part ii|work=[[Irish Statute Book]]|access-date=31 March 2017|quote=In Article 28.3.3°, to insert "other than Article 15.5.2°" after "Constitution";}}</ref>

The first amendment was rushed through the Oireachtas after the outbreak of the [[Second World War]], in which [[Irish neutrality during World War II|the state remained neutral]]. Immediately after, the required resolution was passed, in turn enabling the passage of the [[Emergency Powers Act 1939]] (EPA), which granted the [[government of Ireland|government]] and its ministers sweeping powers to issue [[statutory order]]s termed "Emergency Powers Orders" (EPOs).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://oireachtasdebates.oireachtas.ie/debates%20authoring/debateswebpack.nsf/takes/dail1939090200001|title=Proceedings of 2 September 1939|work=Dáil Éireann debates|pages=Vol.77 cc.1–190|access-date=31 March 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1939/act/28/enacted/en/html|title=Emergency Powers Act, 1939|work=[[Irish Statute Book]]|access-date=31 March 2017}}</ref> (The period in Ireland was and is referred to as "[[The Emergency (Ireland)|The Emergency]]".)

=== Israel ===
The [[Israeli state of emergency]], authorized by the [[Defence (Emergency) Regulations|Emergency Defence Regulations]], is older than the state itself, having been passed under the [[Mandate for Palestine|British Mandate for Palestine]] in 1945. A repeal was briefly considered in 1967 but cancelled following the [[Six-Day War]]. The regulations allow Israel, through [[Israeli Defense Forces|its military]], to control movements and prosecute suspected terrorists in [[Israeli-occupied territories|occupied territories]], and to censor publications that are deemed prejudicial to national defense.{{citation needed}}

=== Italy ===
In Italy, the state of emergency planned by the legal system is implemented by the [[Council of Ministers of Italy|Council of Ministers]], without the need of a parliamentary vote, due to the Law n. 225 of 1992 on [[Protezione Civile|Civil Protection]].<ref>[http://www.protezionecivile.gov.it/home#eme_ambientale Stati di emergenza] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200802225740/http://www.protezionecivile.gov.it/home#eme_ambientale }}, ''Protezione Civile''</ref> Moreover, the Article 120 of the [[Constitution of Italy|Constitution]] provides that the government can exercise "substitute powers" of local authorities in typically situations: to protect the legal or economic unity of the state, in case of violation of supranational laws and to face a serious danger for safety and public safety.<ref>''Le situazioni di emergenza e di grave necessità pubblica, in La pubblica sicurezza'', G. Motzo, [[Vicenza]], 1967</ref> For other emergency, such as a [[war]], a parliamentary vote is required to give extraordinary powers to the government.<ref>[https://www.academia.edu/12431137/stato_di_eccezione_ed_ordinamento_democratico Lo stato di eccezione ed ordinamento democratico], Giampiero Buonomo</ref>

The [[Italian Parliament|Parliament of Italy]] can also give extraordinary powers to the government in case of health emergency, as it occurred during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] in 2020, when the Parliament approved a state of emergency from 31 January 2020 to 31 December 2021, thanks to what the government can implement administrative acts, without the approval of the Parliament.<ref>[https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-07-28/conte-says-italy-to-extend-state-of-emergency-to-october Conte Says Italy to Extend State of Emergency to October], ''Bloomberg''</ref>

* State of war: Declared by [[Manuel L. Quezon]] in 1941 after the United States' entry during [[World War II]] and lead to its [[Japanese occupation of the Philippines|occupation]] by [[Empire of Japan|Japanese]] forces.
* [[Martial law in the Philippines|State of martial law]]: Six declarations in history ([[Philippine Revolution|1896]], [[Dictatorial Government of the Philippines|1898]], [[Philippines campaign (1944–45)|1944–45]], [[Martial law under Ferdinand Marcos|1972–1981]], [[Maguindanao massacre|2009]] and [[Proclamation No. 216|2017–2019]])

The [[Assembly of the Republic (Portugal)|Assembly of the Republic]] may not be dissolved while a state of siege or a state of emergency is in force,<ref name="CRP172">{{cite web |url=https://dre.pt/part-iii |title=Article 172 (Dissolution) |website=Constitution of the Portuguese Republic |publisher=Diário da República Eletrónico |access-date=18 March 2020 }}</ref> nor can the Constitution itself be subject to amendment.<ref name="CRP289">{{cite web |url=https://dre.pt/part-iv |title=Article 289 (Circumstances in which revision is restricted) |website=Constitution of the Portuguese Republic |publisher=Diário da República Eletrónico |access-date=18 March 2020 }}</ref>

Before declaring a state of siege or a state of emergency, the President is required to consult with the [[Government of Portugal|Government]] and request authorisation to do so from the [[Assembly of the Republic (Portugal)|Assembly of the Republic]].<ref name="CRP138">{{cite web |url=https://dre.pt/part-iii |title=Article 138 (Declaration of a state of siege or of a state of emergency) |website=Constitution of the Portuguese Republic |publisher=Diário da República Eletrónico |access-date=18 March 2020 }}</ref>

During the [[Third Portuguese Republic]], the only two times such states of exceptional suppression of constitutional provisions were declared were during the [[Coup of 25 November 1975|failed left-wing coup d'état of 25 November 1975]] (state of siege, within the confines of the Lisbon Military Region),<ref>{{cite news |title=Papel dos militares muda entre estado de sítio e estado de emergência |url=https://www.publico.pt/2020/03/18/politica/noticia/papel-militares-muda-estado-sitio-estado-emergencia-1908257 |language=pt |work=[[Público (Portugal)|Público]] |access-date=20 March 2020 }}</ref> and during the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Portugal|COVID-19 pandemic]] (state of emergency, in the entirety of the Portuguese territory).

Within the remit of the basic law of [[Civil defense|civil protection]] services ({{lang-pt|Lei de Bases da Protecção Civil}}), the [[Prime Minister of Portugal|prime minister]] can, through a Resolution of the [[Council of Ministers (Portugal)|Council of Ministers]] and without the need of parliamentary approval or presidential promulgation, decree a situation of calamity ({{lang-pt|situação de calamidade}}). Lesser exceptional statuses, the situation of contingency ({{lang-pt|situação de contingência}}) and the situation of alert ({{lang-pt|situação de alerta}}) in descending order of importance, can also be set in motion by other civil protection authorities or [[President of the Municipal Chamber|Mayors]].<ref name="LeiDeBasesProCiv">{{cite web |url=https://dre.pt/web/guest/legislacao-consolidada/-/lc/66285526/indice |title=Lei de Bases da Protecção Civil (Lei n.º 27/2006) |website=Diário da República Eletrónico |publisher=Diário da República n.º 126/2006, Série I de 2006-07-03 |access-date=4 May 2020 }}</ref> These three situations allow for some extraordinary measures and special restrictions, but not the suspension of constitutional rights and freedoms.

=== Poland ===
In Poland, the institution of the state of emergency was absorbed by the institution of martial law in the years 1952–1983 in the constitutional regulations. According to the provisions of the Constitution of 1997 (Articles 228 et seq.), A state of emergency may be introduced by the president at the request of the Council of Ministers for a specified period of time, but not longer than 90 days, in part or throughout the territory of the country, if the security of the state, the security of citizens or public order has been threatened. The President may extend this state only once (for a period not longer than 60 days) with the consent of the Sejm. During the state of emergency and within 90 days from its end, the Constitution and electoral regulations may not be changed, and the Seym may not be dissolved; there are also no national elections or referendums. In the event of the expiry of the term of office of the President, the Sejm and the Senate, or local self-government bodies, they are appropriately extended.

=== Romania ===
{{Disputed section}}
In [[Romania]], there are two types of states of emergency, each designed for a different type of situation.{{citation needed}}
* State of alert (''Stare de alertă'' in [[Romanian language|Romanian]]): Non-military, can be enforced by a prefect. [[Roadblock]]s are enforced. Any utilitarian vehicle or equipment can be temporarily used by the state, without any restriction. Evacuation is not mandatory, unless extreme circumstances apply. Only [[Emergency medical services|EMS]], [[Romanian Police|Police]] and firefighting personnel are required to intervene. This situation can be enforced in case of [[natural disasters]] or [[civil unrest]].
* State of emergency (''stare de urgentă'' in Romanian): Can only be enforced by the [[President of Romania]] with approval from [[Parliament of Romania|Parliament]]. The [[Military of Romania|military]] becomes the upper form of control in the country (under the rule of the president).{{citation needed}} The civilian population is subject to strict regulations, imposed by the type of emergency.{{citation needed}} All private and public non-crucial activities are suspended.{{citation needed}} [[Essential services]] might be disrupted. This situation can be enforced in case of extreme circumstances, such as a war.
* Special zone of public safety (''Zonă specială de siguranță publică'' in Romanian): Administrative, can be enforced by local police. This implies installation of road check-points and higher numbers in police and [[Romanian riot police|gendarmes/ riot police]] presence, patrolling the area. There is also a ban that restricts the right to travel for people in the area; any vehicle and individual transiting the zone are subject to screening.<ref name=zona>Silviu Molnar, [http://www.naturalgaseurope.com/chevron-shale-security-zone-pungesti-romania Security Zone in Pungesti Heavily Criticized by European Greens], ''Natural Gas Europe'', 19 December 2013, Retrieved 23 December 2013</ref><ref>{{in lang|ro}}[http://adevarul.ro/locale/vaslui/video-comuna-pungesti-declarata-zona-speciala-siguranta-publica-1_52a46389c7b855ff568bb1f6/index.html Comuna Pungești, declarată „zonă specială de siguranță publică], ''Adevărul'', 19 December 2013, Retrieved 23 December 2013</ref>

The most well-known event in which the state of emergency has been enforced was because of [[1977 Vrancea earthquake]].{{citation needed}}

The last instance in which the ''special zone of public safety'' was enforced was on 8 December 2013-ongoing, in [[Pungești, Vaslui]] following [[2012–13 Romanian protests against shale gas|civil unrest in Pungești]] from [[Chevron Corporation|Chevron]]'s plans to begin exploring [[Shale gas in Romania|shale-gas]] in the village.<ref>Gabriel Petrescu, [http://www.naturalgaseurope.com/riot-police-special-security-zone-chevron-romania Chevron Moves Forward in Romania Following Establishment of Special Security Zone], ''Natural Gas Europe'', 14 December 2013, Retrieved 23 December 2013</ref> According to police officials, the special security zone will be maintained as long as there is conflict in the area that poses a threat to Chevron's operations.<ref name=zona /> This special security zone has faced domestic and international criticism for alleged [[Human rights in Romania|human-rights abuses]].

=== South Africa ===
{{further|State of Emergency Act, 1997}}
States of emergency in [[South Africa]] are governed by section 37 of the [[Constitution of South Africa|Constitution]] and by the [[State of Emergency Act, 1997]]. The [[President of South Africa|president]] may declare a state of emergency only when "the life of the nation is threatened by war, invasion, general insurrection, disorder, natural disaster or other public emergency" and if the ordinary laws and government powers are not sufficient to restore peace and order. The declaration is made by [[proclamation]] in the ''[[Government Gazette of South Africa|Government Gazette]]'' and may only apply from the time of publication, not retroactively. It can only continue for 21 days unless the [[National Assembly of South Africa|National Assembly]] grants an extension, which may be for at most three months at a time. The [[High Courts of South Africa|High Courts]] have the power, subject to confirmation by the [[Constitutional Court of South Africa|Constitutional Court]], to determine the validity of the declaration of a state of emergency.<ref name="sa-bor-handbook">{{cite book |first1=Iain |last1=Currie |first2=Johan |last2=de Waal |title=The Bill of Rights Handbook |edition=5th |year=2005 |location=Cape Town |publisher=Juta & Company Ltd |isbn=978-0-7021-5923-7 |chapter=Chapter Thirty-three: States of Emergency |pages=798–806}}</ref>

During a state of emergency the [[President of South Africa]] has the power to make emergency regulations "necessary or expedient" to restore peace and order and end the emergency. This power can be delegated to other authorities. Emergency measures can violate the [[Bill of Rights (South Africa)|Bill of Rights]], but only to a limited extent. Some rights are inviolable, including amongst others the rights to life and to human dignity; the prohibition of discrimination on the grounds of race, sex or religion; the prohibition of torture or inhumane punishment; and the right of accused people to a fair trial. Any violation of a constitutional right must be strictly required by the emergency. Emergency measures may not indemnify the government or individuals for illegal actions. They may impose criminal penalties, but not exceeding three years' imprisonment. They may not require military service beyond that required by the ordinary laws governing the defence force. An emergency measure may be disapproved by the National Assembly, in which case it lapses, and no emergency measure may interfere with the elections, powers or sittings of [[Parliament of South Africa|Parliament]] or the [[provincial legislature (South Africa)|provincial legislatures]]. The courts have the power to determine the validity of any emergency measure.

The constitution places strict limits on any [[detention without trial]] during a state of emergency. A friend or family member of the detainee must be informed, and the name and place of detention must be published in the ''Government Gazette''. The detainee must have access to a doctor and a legal representative. The detainee must be brought before a court within at most ten days, for the court to determine whether the detention is necessary, and if not released may demand repeated review every ten days. At the court review the detainee must be allowed legal representation and must be allowed to appear in person. The provisions on detention without trial do not apply to [[prisoners of war]] in an international conflict; instead they must be treated in accordance with the [[Geneva Conventions]] and other international law.

=== Spain ===
In Spain, there are three degrees of state of emergency (''estado de emergencia'' in Spanish): ''[[State of Alarm|alarma]]'' (alarm or alert), ''excepción'' (exception[al circumstance]) and ''sitio'' (siege). They are named by the [[Spanish Constitution of 1978|constitution]], which limits which rights may be suspended, but regulated by the "[http://noticias.juridicas.com/base_datos/Admin/lo4-1981.html Ley Orgánica 4/1981]" ([[Organic Law (Spain)|Organic Law]]).

On 4 December 2010, the first state of alert was declared following the [[Spanish air traffic controllers strike|air traffic controllers strike]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://elpais.com/elpais/2010/12/04/actualidad/1291454218_850215.html |title=El Gobierno declara el estado de alarma y moviliza a los controladores |first1=A. |last1=Mars |first2=A. |last2=Romero |first3=P. |last3=Álvarez |access-date=27 October 2019 |newspaper=[[El País]] |publisher=[[Prisa]] |language=es |location=Madrid}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2010/12/04/espana/1291425368.html |title=El Gobierno declara el estado de alarma |access-date=27 October 2019 |newspaper=[[El Mundo (Spain)|El Mundo]] |publisher=[[Unidad Editorial]] Internet, S.L. |language=es}}</ref> It was the first time since the [[Francoist Spain|Francisco Franco's regime]] that a state of emergency was declared.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11918008 | work=BBC | title=Striking Spain air traffic controllers return to work | date=4 December 2010}}</ref> The second state of alert was declared on 14 March 2020 due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Spain|coronavirus pandemic]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.elmundo.es/espana/2020/03/13/5e6b844e21efa0dd258b45a5.html|website=[[El Mundo (Spain)|El Mundo]]|title=Pedro Sánchez decreta el estado de alarma en toda España para frenar la expansión del coronavirus|first=Marisol|last=Hernández}}</ref> The third state of alert was declared before the end of October 2020 given the difficulties to control the spread of said pandemic.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Benayas|first=Victoria Torres|title=Así son las medidas en la Comunidad de Madrid tras agotarse el estado de alarma|url=https://elpais.com/espana/madrid/2020-10-24/el-bocm-preve-amplias-excepciones-al-toque-de-queda-blando-de-madrid.html|access-date=2020-10-25|website=EL PAÍS|language=es}}</ref>

=== Sri Lanka ===
In Sri Lanka, the [[President of Sri Lanka|president]] is able to proclaim emergency regulations under the ''Public Security Ordinance'' in the [[Constitution of Sri Lanka|constitution]] in order to preserve public security and public order; suppression of [[mutiny]], [[riot]] or [[civil unrest|civil commotion]]; or maintenance of supplies and services essential to the life of the community. These regulations last for one month unless confirmed otherwise by [[Parliament of Sri Lanka|Parliament]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/ihl-nat/a24d1cf3344e99934125673e00508142/afad7ae740f9b625c12577370039c9e1/$FILE/Public%20Security%20Ordinance.pdf|title=Constitution of Sri Lanka}}</ref>

=== Switzerland ===
According to Art. 185 of the [[Swiss Federal Constitution]] The [[Swiss Federal Council|Federal Council]] (Bundesrat) can call up in their own competence military personnel of maximum 4000 [[militia]] for three weeks to safeguard inner or outer security (called Federal Intervention or Federal Execution, respectively). A larger number of soldiers or of a longer duration is subject to [[Federal Assembly (Switzerland)|parliamentary]] decision. For deployments within Switzerland the principle of subsidiarity rules: as a first step, unrest has to be overcome with the aid of cantonal police units.

=== Syria ===
An emergency prevailed in [[Syria]] from 1962 to 2011. Originally predicated on the [[Arab–Israeli conflict|conflict with Israel]], the emergency acted to centralize authority in the presidency and the national security apparatus while silencing public dissent. The emergency was terminated in response to protests that preceded the [[Syrian Civil War]]. Under the [[Constitution of Syria|2012 constitution]], the [[President of Syria|president]] may pass an emergency decree with a 2/3 concurrence of his ministers, provided that he presents it to the [[People's Assembly of Syria|People's Assembly]] for constitutional review.

=== Trinidad and Tobago ===

Sections 7 though 12 of the Constitution<ref>{{cite web |title=Constitution.pdf |url=https://rgd.legalaffairs.gov.tt/laws2/Constitution.pdf |website=Ministry of Legal Affairs |access-date=16 September 2021}}</ref> set out the legal basis for declaring that a state of emergency exists. The [[President of Trinidad and Tobago|president]], under the advice of the [[Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago|prime minister]], may make a proclamation that a "state of public emergency" exists if:

* "A public emergency has arisen as a result of the imminence of a state of war between Trinidad and Tobago and a foreign state,
* A public emergency has arisen as a result of the occurrence of any earthquake, hurricane, flood, fire, outbreak of pestilence or of infectious disease, or other calamity whether similar to the foregoing or not,
* Action has been taken, or is immediately threatened, by any person, of such a nature and on so extensive a scale, as to be likely to endanger the public safety or to deprive the community or any substantial portion of the community of supplies or services essential to life." (ss. 8 (2)).

Upon declaring that a state of emergency exists, the President may make regulations to deal with the situation at hand. The regulations can even infringe upon the rights enshrined within sections 4 and 5 of the Constitution (e.g. freedom of speech, freedom of movement, etc.) but only to such extent as such constitutional encroachments are “reasonably justifiable for the purpose of dealing with the situation that exists during that period.” (ss. 7 (3)). Once the President has declared that a state of emergency exists, the initial duration of that proclamation is 15 days, unless revoked sooner. The state of emergency can then be extended for up to three months by a simple majority vote of the [[House of Representatives (Trinidad and Tobago)|House of Representatives]] and can be extended by a further three months by a three-fifths majority vote of the House of Representatives and must also be passed in the [[Senate (Trinidad and Tobago)|Senate]].

A state of emergency was declared in 1990 during the [[Black Power Revolution]] by then Prime Minister [[Eric Williams]]. During the [[Jamaat al Muslimeen coup attempt|attempted state coup]] by the [[Jamaat al Muslimeen]] against the NAR government of the then Prime Minister [[A. N. R.

On 15 May 2021 at 2:50 pm, Prime Minister, [[Keith Rowley]], declared a state of emergency following a mass surge in the number of deaths and COVID-19 infections, no [[hospital bed]]s being available and a lack of [[COVID-19 vaccine|COVID‑19 vaccines]] in dealing with a rapid and deadly spread of the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Trinidad and Tobago]],<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=STATE OF EMERGENCY - CURFEW 9P.M -5A.M|url=https://trinidadexpress.com/newsextra/state-of-emergency---curfew-9p-m--5a-m/article_032631d6-b5a9-11eb-b07c-ab4e6a08dbe7.html|access-date=2021-05-15|website=Trinidad Express Newspapers|language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=Trinidad and Tobago implements State of Emergency to combat covid19 spread|url=https://newsday.co.tt/2021/05/15/pm-implements-state-of-emergency-to-combat-covid-spread/|access-date=2021-05-15|website=Trinidad and Tobago Newsday|language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web|title=PM announces state of emergency|url=http://www.looptt.com/content/pm-announces-state-emergency|access-date=2021-05-15|website=www.looptt.com|language=en}}</ref> noted as being one of the worst in the world.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|title=It's Not Just India: New Virus Waves Hit Developing Countries|url=https://www.bloombergquint.com/business/it-s-not-just-india-new-virus-waves-deluge-developing-countries|access-date=2021-05-15|website=BloombergQuint|language=en}}</ref><ref name=":4">{{Cite web|title=Trinidad and Tobago tightens lockdown as COVID-19 cases surge|url=https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/trinidad-tobago-tightens-lockdown-covid-19-cases-surge-2021-05-03/|access-date=2021-05-15|website=Reuters}}</ref> On 24 August, the Parliament extended the state of emergency for a further three months.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hunte |first1=Camille |title=SoE for 3 more months |url=https://trinidadexpress.com/news/local/soe-for-3-more-months/article_fc36437e-0608-11ec-aac3-731c78a0f9e1.html |website=T&T Express |access-date=16 September 2021}}</ref>

=== Turkey ===
{{Main|Martial law and state of emergency in Turkey}}
Since the foundation of the Republic of Turkey in 1923 the [[Turkish Armed Forces|military]] conducted three [[coup d'état|''coups d'état'']] and announced [[martial law]]. Martial law between 1978 and 1983 was replaced by a state of emergency that lasted until November 2002.
The latest state of emergency was declared by President [[Recep Tayyip Erdoğan]] on 20 July 2016 following a [[2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt|failed coup attempt on 15 July 2016]] by a faction of the country's armed forces. It was lifted on 18 July 2018.

=== United Kingdom ===
{{Main|Civil Contingencies Act 2004}}
In the United Kingdom, only the [[British Sovereign]],<ref>The sovereign of the UK always follows the advice of the Prime Minister on any action with constitutional significance</ref> on the advice of the [[Privy Council of the United Kingdom|Privy Council]], or a [[Minister of the Crown]] in exceptional circumstances, has the power to introduce emergency regulations under the [[Civil Contingencies Act 2004]], in case of an emergency, broadly defined as war or attack by a foreign power, [[Terrorism in the United Kingdom|terrorism]] which poses a threat of serious damage to the security of the UK, or events which threaten serious damage to human welfare or the environment of a place in the UK. The duration of these regulations is limited to thirty days, but may be extended by [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|Parliament]].
A state of emergency was last invoked in 1974 by Prime Minister [[Edward Heath]] in response to increasing [[industrial action]].

The act grants wide-ranging powers to central and local government in the event of an emergency. It allows the modification of [[primary legislation]] by emergency regulation, with the exception of the [[Human Rights Act 1998]] and Part 2 of the [[Civil Contingencies Act 2004]].

=== United States ===
{{Further|Senate Report 93-549|Insurrection Act|National Emergencies Act|List of national emergencies in the United States}}
The [[United States Constitution]] implicitly provides some emergency powers in the article about the executive power:
* [[United States Congress|Congress]] may authorize the government to call forth the militia to execute the laws, suppress an insurrection or repel an [[Invasion of the United States|invasion]].
* Congress may authorize the government to suspend consideration of writs of ''[[Habeas corpus in the United States|habeas corpus]]'' "when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it."
* [[Felony]] charges may be brought without presentment or [[grand jury]] [[indictment]] in cases arising "in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger."
* A [[State governments of the United States|state government]] may engage in war without Congress's approval if "actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."

Aside from these, many provisions of law exist in various jurisdictions, which take effect only upon an executive declaration of emergency; some 500 federal laws take effect upon a presidential declaration of emergency. The [[National Emergencies Act]] regulates this process at the federal level. It requires the [[President of the United States|President]] to specifically identify the provisions activated and to renew the declaration annually so as to prevent an arbitrarily broad or open-ended emergency.
Presidents have occasionally taken action justified as necessary or prudent because of a state of emergency, only to have the action struck down in court as unconstitutional.<ref>''[[Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer]]'' (1953)</ref>

A state [[Governor (United States)|governor]] or local [[mayor]] may declare a state of emergency within his or her [[jurisdiction]]. This is common at the state level in response to natural disasters. The [[Federal Emergency Management Agency]] maintains a system of assets, personnel and training to respond to such incidents. For example, on 10 December 2015, [[Washington (state)|Washington]] state Governor [[Jay Inslee]] declared a state of emergency due to flooding and landslides caused by heavy rains.<ref>{{cite news|title=Washington gov. declares weather emergency|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2015/12/10/washington-gov-declares-weather-emergency/77081310/|access-date=10 December 2015|work=USA Today}}</ref>

The 1977 [[International Emergency Economic Powers Act]] allows the government to freeze assets, limit trade and confiscate property in response to an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to the United States that originates substantially outside of it. As of 2015 more than twenty emergencies under the IEEPA remain active regarding various subjects, the oldest of which was declared in 1979 with regard to the government of [[Iran]]. Another ongoing national emergency, declared after the [[September 11 attacks]], authorizes the president to retain or reactivate military personnel beyond their normal term of service.<ref>US Presidential Proclamation 7463</ref>

In 2020, it was common for states to enact a state of emergency due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic|COVID-19 Pandemic]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dress |first=Brad |title=These 10 states still have COVID emergency orders in place |url=https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/3638892-these-10-states-still-have-covid-emergency-orders-in-place/ |access-date=2023-03-03 |website=The Hill |language=en-US}}</ref>

These movements assert that [[Sant Mat]] shares a lineage with [[Sikhism]] and contains elements of thought found in [[Hinduism]], such as [[karma]] and [[reincarnation]]. They further assert that Sant Mat also contains elements found in [[Sufism]] and has inspired and influenced a number of religious groups and organizations. They refer to this spiritual path as the "Science of the Soul" or ‘[[Sant Mat]]’, meaning ‘teachings of the saints’. More recently it has been described as "The Way of Life" or "Living the Life of Soul." It incorporates a practical [[yoga]] system known as [[Surat Shabd Yoga]].

Contemporary Sant Mat movements claim to incorporate a personal and private path of spiritual development in the common tradition of mystics past and present. They discuss the irrelevance of rituals, priestly class, mandatory contributions, or compulsory gatherings.

==Introduction==
The basic teaching of contemporary Sant Mat, as described by its Masters, is that everything lies inside us and that God is within. The outside world is only an image or a reflection of the inner reality.<ref>Singh, Thakar (1989). Newspaper interview, Lagos Nigeria. Reprinted in Heart Of Compassion, Kirpal Light Satsang, 1991 {{ISBN|0-917019-11-3}}</ref> So self-knowledge or knowledge of the higher self and God-knowledge (taken as a practical project rather than a theoretical inquiry) are the topics of Sant Mat.<ref name="link2">Singh, Kirpal (1955). Night Is A Jungle, Ruhani Satsang Books. [http://www.ruhanisatsangusa.org/god_man.htm Online_version].</ref>

[[Kirpal Singh]] describes [[Sant Mat]] as a synonym for ''[[Surat Shabd Yoga]]'', the [[yoga]] of the [[Sound Current]], or more simply ''Shabd yoga'', a meditation technique he asserts was taught and practiced originally in northern India.<ref>Singh, Kirpal. (1999). ''[http://www.ruhanisatsangusa.org/naam/contents.htm Naam or Word]''. Blaine, WA: Ruhani Satsang Books. {{ISBN|0-942735-94-3}}</ref> Singh writes that practitioners of Shabd yoga position the path as not requiring the physical torture of penance and austerities that marked many of the yogas and spiritual paths throughout the ages. Thus it is sometimes called "[[Sahaja|Sehaj]]" (easy) yoga.<ref name="link5">Singh, Kirpal. Man Know Thyself. Ruhani Satsang Books. [http://www.ruhanisatsangusa.org/knowthy.htm Online_version]</ref>

Widely accepted translations of the Indian term "Sant Mat" are "Teachings of the Saints" and "Path of the Masters." These are both incidentally the titles of prominent works on the subject.<ref>Singh, Kirpal (1976). The Way of the Saints: Sant Mat. Sant Bani ashram. {{ISBN|0-89142-026-6}}.</ref><ref name="link4">Johnson, Julian (1985). The Path of the Masters: The Science of Surat Shabd Yoga : The Yoga of the audible Life Stream. Radha Soami Satsang Beas. {{ISBN|1-199-61327-4}} (Originally published much earlier, perhaps in the 1950s.)</ref> Another commonly accepted definition of the term is found in [http://www.ruhanisatsangusa.org/knowthy.htm Man Know Thyself] by [[Sant Kirpal Singh]]:

:Man is constantly changing or introducing new names and terminologies to describe this Science. The Masters were called Sants, and the nature of knowledge Mat, thus giving us the term 'Sant-Mat', which is at present mostly used to name the Path of the Masters. Other terms, such as Shabd Yoga, Surat Shabd Yoga, Sehaj Yoga, are also used to describe the same Science. In the Sanskrit language, the word 'Sant' means Master of the highest Order, and 'Mat' is a confirmed opinion or statement made by an adept after personal experience. The foundation of this Science, therefore, is the result of a critical study, minute investigation, and the lifelong personal verification of facts based on practical experience of the Self in man. This experience of the Self is something that a competent Master is prepared to give to each individual who approaches him. Sant Mat, therefore, is the teaching, system and path of the Saints.<ref name="link5" />

However, terminology, names, and groups are not considered to be of any importance in Sant Mat:

:The Masters do not attach any importance to names, designations, or the fact that many religious sects, groups and circles, have claimed this Science as their own and named it after their leaders or founders. They look upon these groups as schools where man — the noblest being in Creation — can study with other men as children of one and the same Almighty Father.<ref name="link5" />

==Origins==
{{details|Sant Mat}}
Sant Mat (literally, "school of the [[Sant (India)|Sant]]s") was a loosely associated group of teachers that assumed prominence in the northern part of the Indian sub-continent from about the 13th century. Their teachings are distinguished theologically by inward loving devotion to a divine principle, and socially by an [[egalitarian]]ism opposed to the qualitative distinctions of the Indian caste hierarchy and to the religious differences between Hinduism and Islam.<ref name=Woodhead>Woodhead, Linda & Fletcher, Paul. ''Religion in the Modern World: Traditions and Transformations'' (2001) pp.71-2. Routledge (UK) {{ISBN|0-415-21784-9}}"</ref>

==Geographical reach==
Contemporary Sant Mat movements exist all over the world.

[[Radha Soami Satsang Beas]], the mission begun by [[Jaimal Singh]] at the turn of the 19th century, has its headquarters known as "Dera Baba Jaimal Singh", near the river [[Beas River|Beas]] in [[northern India]] since 1891. His master [[Shiv Dayal Singh]] had perhaps 500 initiates, and if one wanted to see the Master it was necessary to travel to his home in Agra. His lineage continues at Radhasoami Central Satsang, at Dayalbagh, Agra, in India. Jaimal Singh had perhaps 2500 initiates and did not travel more than a few hundred miles from Beas while he was a Master. [[Sawan Singh|Baba Sawan Singh]] did not travel outside of India, but is believed to have had as many as one lac (100,000) initiates, some of whom were foreigners. [[Jagat Singh (Sant)|Jagat Singh]] also did not travel outside India. [[Charan Singh (guru)|Charan Singh]] did travel overseas and the present master [[Gurinder Singh]], travels to nearly 90 countries. Today the [[Radha Soami Satsang Beas]] is leading the way forward and encompassing all the teachings of the saints.<ref name="link4" />

[[Sant Kirpal Singh]] visited Europe and the United States in 1955 and 1963, and Europe, America, and Latin America in 1972.<ref>[http://www.ruhanisatsangusa.org/kirpal.htm Ruhani Satsang USA website, Tour reports]</ref> The various spiritual leaders who claim to lead this movement now frequently travel all over the world.

==General tenets==
The most central tenet is the need to be initiated by a living Master or [[Satguru]] ("sat" meaning true and "guru" meaning Master or Spiritual Teacher). "Competent Master" is another common formulation: the Master must be competent in the sense of having been commissioned by God, not just a person who feels like working in the role of a guru:

<blockquote>It is a sad affair that there are thousands of imitators, of false copies, but it doesn't mean that the world is devoid of truth and that a Master is not available to the people...It has always been a law that at least one complete master would be on earth to bring God's truth to the people. One such Master can benefit the entire world just as one sun can glorify and light up the entire world. [16] </blockquote>

Technically speaking Sant Mat practice involves listening to the [[Shabd|Inner Sound]], contemplating [[Light (theology)|Inner Light]], and (eventually) [[Astral projection|leaving the human body at will]] - a practice sometimes referred to as "dying while living". The principal intent is to awaken the Soul and unite it with God.<ref>"My dear souls, I should call you souls because we are from God. It is told to us" 'Your soul bears the seal of God. It belongs to God, give it unto God.' These words from the Bible and other scriptures were told by God himself when he came into the human garb. He came because Man has been misled. God is the only one who has sympathy with these suffering souls. He wants to end their suffering: 'Come back to me. Enjoy perfection, as I am perfect.'" LTLOS, page 1.</ref> Sant Mat is a practical and not a theoretical investigation.<ref>"The present day is an age of the practical life. People do not believe unless there is something practical. So we must have all our Truth in a practical way, and it will appeal to all. This Truth will prevail. Times are changing. This is the only thing that can appeal to everybody. This is the only ground on which all of us can sit together. So I wish each one of you to be practical. Do not try to reform others. Reform your own self." LOK [http://www.ruhanisatsangusa.org/ocean.htm The Ocean of Intoxication].</ref>

Contemporary Sant Mat movements claim to be different in a radical sense from other disciplines or kinds of knowledge which can be taught. It claims to be a meta-knowledge or method of going beyond knowledge and deprecates the mind and mental processes, at all times describing a dichotomy between the mind and the soul, in which the mind is only a negative copy or imitation of the soul.<ref>"Anyone whose soul is under the mind's influence and control becomes an image of the mind, for he forgets his true self. We call this ego or I-hood for one thinks 'I am everything.' Yet, one does not know that true 'I.' If one has forgotten one's true Self, then who is it that will realize the Lord?" LOK [http://www.ruhanisatsangusa.org/listen.htm Oh Mind, Listen For Once].</ref> The mind is to become still and quiet so that the soul can begin to experience itself.<ref>"Once, I remember, a very learned pundit came to our Master. I was there. He had a talk with my Master. At the end he said, "Will you kindly initiate me?" He was initiated. Then he told the Master, "Master, I will become proficient within three months. I'll do everything You say and come back." Master said, "All right, what more is wanted?" He came back after six months, and fortunately I was there because I had the privilege to be back with the Master. He said, "Master, previously l had been putting in eight hours a day in worship, and my mind never disturbed me. Now I cannot sit for a moment." You see? It is because in the outward performances, the mind gets food. You light the candle, you offer flowers, then you do this and that. The mind gets food. But in this way, the mind meets its death. He would prefer to go into the mouth of a cannon rather than enter within." LOK [http://www.ruhanisatsangusa.org/lok/servant.htm Are You The Servant Of Your Mind?]</ref> The soul has its own internal sources of knowledge, and when properly connected to its inner sources, no outer education or knowledge is required or desired.{{Citation needed}}

The second essential tenet is the mystical role of the Sound Current:

<blockquote>''Prajapatir vai idam-agree asit Tasya vak dvitiya asit Vak vai Paramam Brahma''</blockquote> (from Vedas)

<blockquote>In the beginning was [[Prajapati]] (the Creator),
With Him was the [[Vāk|Vak]] (the Word),
And the Vak (the Word) was verily the
Supreme [[Brahman]].</blockquote>

Proponents compare this with the verses of John 1 [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201;&version=31 John] to assert their special use of comparative religion (seeking the common thread in all religions and esoteric phenomena). ''Naam or Word'' [http://www.ruhanisatsangusa.org/naam/contents.htm], written by [[Sant Kirpal Singh]], explores this theme. It asserts that the Sound Current is the esoteric form of God which is available to human beings.<ref>"When we meditate on that light of God and that music, we will find access to God himself. The music we hear in this outer world is the outer expression of that inner music. In the Jap Ji, twenty-seventh stanza, you will find Nanak marvelling at God's mansion...he says that in God's house he found all music, so many instruments, so many kinds and types of songs, and so many singers. Then Nanak further explains that all this universe, the Judge and air and fire and everything there is, is going on because of music....Everything is Music. God is also music and he controls everything with music." And You Will Fly Up To God (see [16]). p. 36.</ref> The Guru, who is a human being, has merged with the Sound Current in such a manner that he is a living manifestation of it (the Word made flesh).<ref name="link42">Way of Life, 2002. "'Word made flesh and dwelt amongst us.' The Word God came into this world in human flesh and began to dwell with us. Why? So that the competency of the Word God, who has created everything, maintains everything, and is full God, will work in this world in the same capacity as it works in the highest heavens. " p. 8.</ref> However, not just the Guru can achieve this, but all human beings are inherently privileged in this way <ref name="link42" />

===Helping factors===
Beyond the two main tenets, Contemporary Sant Mat movements emphasize an ethical lifestyle and selfless service. They assert that these are not spirituality as such, but are necessary preparation for true spirituality to commence.<ref>An Ethical Lifestyle, Selfless Service. Video tape recording, Edition Naam USA. 2000.</ref> A self-introspective diary or daily diary tracking ethical lifestyle in five cardinal disciplines is sometimes recommended as a way to self-monitor one's own ethical condition. The five cardinal virtues tracked by
the diary are ''Ahimsa'' or [[Nonviolence]], Truthfulness, [[Chastity]], love for all regardless of caste, creed, wealth, or intellectual attainments (i.e., [[Humility]]), and finally the maintenance of a strict [[Vegetarian]] diet. Drugs and alcohol are also to be avoided, as is the company of worldly-minded people.<ref name="link45">And You Will Fly Up To God, p. 57-75, "The Daily Diary".</ref>

[[Selfless Service]] or Seva means devoting oneself to mental, physical, or financial service to the Guru, and the sangat (or devotees). Mental service means keeping constant remembrance of God by means of repetition of the Mantra (known as [[Simran (Sanskrit word)|Simran]]) or by other means keeping the Guru in mind. Physical service means doing some physical work, as in the situation where one helps dig a well at an ashram or gives a talk about the Master to the public. Financial service means giving money to the mission of the Master (to his organization) instead of spending it on oneself. The concept of Financial Seva is quite similar to [[tithe|tithing]] as known generally in Christianity. Also, just as a very general rule, at least 10% of one's time should be spent in meditation.<ref name="link45" />

===Practices===
Contemporary Sant Mat movements assert that the "Master" or [[Guru]] is provided by God as the channel through which God manifests in the world - God is believed to be unknowable and inconceivable, so he has created Gurus as a way in which to be available. Only humans are capable of interacting with a Master, as other forms of life are asserted to be incapable of doing so.{{Citation needed}}

Teachers of contemporary Sant Mat movements claim to teach a spiritual path which is intentionally easier than others described in the ancient scriptures as it requires nothing more than sitting quietly and looking and listening within. {{Citation needed}}

Specifics of this process include connecting one's soul or attention, called ''[[Surat (soul)]]'' with the inner Current of Light and Sound of God, the [[Shabd]]. Adherents believe this Sound Current cannot be heard by the uninitiated; it is made manifest at the time of initiation.{{Citation needed}} An essential component of the practice involves sitting still with eyes closed, with one's attention focused at the "third eye center", located between and behind the two eyebrows, while (mentally) repeating one or more [[mantra]]s given by the Guru to the disciple at the time of initiation. This is called [[Simran (Sanskrit word)|simran]] (repetition) and its primary function is to still the mind while remembering (or being connected to) the Guru via the mantra he provided. However listening to the Sound Current by plugging the ears with the thumbs and listening at the right side or above is equally as important. Sound is considered to be the source of the Light, and to contain everything required. {{Citation needed}}

The concept of [[Satsang]] is also a common thread in contemporary Sant Mat movements' practices. Satsang means literally "gathering of Truth." These gatherings serve as the formal meeting place of the Master and his devotees when he is present in physical form, but also, more often, follow the tradition of early Christianity and take place in the homes of disciples or in any convenient location as times of remembrance of the Master and the need for meditation.<ref>"You may also gather together in one of your homes to listen to one of Master's tapes or read from the religious scriptures or talk about Master's mission or His teachings. That will also be a satsang." And You Will Fly Up to God, p. 68-69.</ref>

In contemporary Sant Mat movements, not everyone automatically qualifies for [[Initiation]]; many teachers require that prospective followers be spiritually “ready”. This was especially true in earlier times, when people made more time available. There are definite criteria for judging whether or not a person is indeed ready for initiation: they must be ready to eschew drugs and alcohol, lead a disciplined and chaste lifestyle, avoid spiritual healing and other forms of meditation, and commit to several hours of meditation per day.<ref name="link2" />

==Sects==
There are many sects/movements within contemporary Sant Mat movements, with different leaders and varying belief systems. Examples include [[Advait Mat]] and [[Radha Soami]] with following sub-lineages: the [[Radha Soami Satsang Beas]], [[Radha Soami Satsang Sabha|Radha Soami Satsang Dayalbagh]], [[Radha Swami Satsang, Dinod]], [[Kirpal Singh#Ruhani Satsang|Ruhani Satsang]], and also the [[Science of Spirituality]] (SOS) with [[Sawan Kirpal Ruhani Mission]] and [[Dera Sacha Sauda]].

The work of [[David C. Lane]] provides a partial catalogue of various sects related to the Radha Soami Satsang Beas and attempts to study their formation from a socio-economic point of view.<ref>Lane, David, [http://elearn.mtsac.edu/dlane/radhabook.html The Radhasoami tradition: A Critical History of Guru Successorship] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110517161248/http://elearn.mtsac.edu/dlane/radhabook.html }}'' (1992). Garland Publishers, New York {{ISBN|0-8240-5247-1}}</ref> [[Mark Juergensmeyer]] has also extensively studied groups related to Radha Soami Satsang Beas.<ref>Juergensmeyer, Mark.

===Related movements===
The new religious movement [[Eckankar]] is considered by some to be an offshoot of the Sant Mat tradition. [[Paul Twitchell]], who founded Eckankar, was an initiate of [[Kirpal Singh]].<ref name="JonesRyan" />

The similar to Eckancar American syncretistic [[Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness]] was founded in 1971 by [[John-Roger Hinkins]].<ref name="JonesRyan" />
