METODOLOGI HUKUM ISLAM MENURUT ALIRAN DEOBANDI DI MALAYSIA Islamic Jurisprudence Methodology: An Analysis of Deobandi School in Malaysia

The significant influence of Deobandi scholars, known for their expertise in Hadith and the Quran, raises the question of what legal methodology is adhered to by the scholars of this school. A comprehensive legal methodology typically consists of uṣūl al-fiqh, qawā’id al-fiqhiyyah and maqāṣid al-syāri’ah. Today, the community has witnessed the rejection by some of these scholars by some of these scholars towards local practices such as maulīd ar-rasūl, tahlil and so on. This study has several importance implications, serving as a reference for future researchers, JAKIM, the State Department of Islamic Religion, and graduates of the Deobandi school itself. This study took the form of a qualitative study and involved interviews with nine Deobandi respondents. The results indicate that the Deobandi school does not employ a complete legal methodology, and there is inconsistency among the respondents when applying the legal methodology in the absence of the Qur'an and Hadith. These suggests that, maqāṣid al-syāri’ah is largely overlooked by the majority of the respondents.

So, what's the coolest thing you learned from the models?

Abstract Research methods based on modelling and simulation (M&S) are gaining popularity among social scientists to study societal dynamics. Emphasising the importance of this research approach, the Department of Religion, Philosophy and History at the University of Agder initiated a methodology module to help students on the religious studies programme learn about M&S-based research methods. The methodology module entails seminars, tutoring, meet-the-expert sessions and writing a short essay about the opportunities, limitations and challenges of applying the research methods. This article discusses the impact of the meet-the-expert event, examining students’ interaction with the experts to understand how they utilised the opportunity to learn about the research methods from M&S-based professionals in their field.

Persepsi Remaja Generasi Z Tentang Kesiapan Menikah Dan Keselarasan Kebijakan Pernikahan Authors

Generation Z teenagers are those born from 1995 to 2010 in the era of modern digitalization. Meanwhile, policy makers and implementers for generation Z teenagers in the pre-marital youth program are generations X and Y, those who live in the era of the digital revolution. These generations have different characters. The aim of this research is to determine the perspective of generation Z teenagers regarding marriage readiness with the alignment of marriage policies. This research method is a cross-sectional study with the subjects of generation Z teenagers, namely 360 students from the Faculty of Medicine, Brawijaya University, officers from the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), health workers and sub-district officers. The research was carried out in the Lowokwaru area of Malang City. This research uses Google forms, interviews and observations. The results of this research showed that 50.00% of teenagers were not ready to marry. Pre-marital youth programs at the Department of Religion and Community Health Centers already exist but are not implemented well. The educational method used is still conventional, not using easily accessible social media. It is recommended that pre-marriage programs for generation Z teenagers can be synergistic between the Department of Religion and Community Health Centers. For further research, we can initiate website-based consultation and education applications for teenagers.

Deconstructing the Privileged Status of Religion over the Status of Belief as the Root of Discrimination towards Kejawen Community

The Kejawen community, recognized as a belief system rather than a formal religion, faces systemic discrimination in Indonesia. This distinction underpins the country's recognition of its political and legal status, thereby impeding the rights of Indigenous practitioners, including Kejawen followers. Several factors contribute to this systemic discrimination: the Western conception of religion, the dichotomy between religion and belief enshrined in Article 29 of the 1945 Indonesian Constitution, the narrow definition of religion by the Indonesian Department of Religion, the association of indigenous beliefs with communism post-1965, and the application of blasphemy laws aimed at "purifying" religion while sidelining belief systems. This study aims to explore the discriminative dynamics against Kejawen within the binary framework of religion versus belief through qualitative research and critical discourse analysis. It seeks to uncover the ambiguity surrounding the concept of religion in Indonesia, drawing on a wide range of sources, including historical narratives, academic studies, relevant legislation, and judicial rulings. This research indicates a significant bias rooted in the differentiation between "religion" and "belief," primarily originating from Western perspectives on religion. This bias has led to the marginalization of Kejawen and other similar spiritual practices, which are often viewed as lesser compared to world religions.

Negative Communication on The Perspective of Indonesian Religion Ministry in Tafsir Tematik Departemen Agama: An Effort to Build Positive Attitudes and Words

Many people miss understanding more deeply that Koran only talks about the lawful and unlawful, the reward for sin, and heaven and hell. The Koran is a holy book that presents various general descriptions of issues in human life. In the present context, the Quran can always adapt itself, its understanding is not only limited to 1500 years ago, and the sentences in it are so rich in messages. The wealth of Quranic sentences are strung together in many existing commentary books. One of the thematic studies of the Koran is about communication and information in the Koran. Overall, the Quran is the book of God's communication with his creatures, in which it contains the creator's “talk” to humans to listen, respond, and carry out orders, human understanding of this form of Quranic communication will lead to many positive actions. One thing that may be overlooked is that positive actions do not always come from positive sentences, there are passages in the Quran which in their communications present negative sentences to turn them into positive actions. This research is a qualitative study using a text analysis approach, the main source obtained in this study comes from the thematic interpretations written by the team of the Republic of Indonesia's Department of Religion. The conclusion of this study found several verses with negative nuances mentioned in the Quran so that humans remember and stay away from them.

The End of College: Religion and the Transformation of Higher Education in the 20th Century by Robert Wilson-Black

Reviewed by: The End of College: Religion and the Transformation of Higher Education in the 20th Century by Robert Wilson-Black Robert Benne The End of College: Religion and the Transformation of Higher Education in the 20th Century. By Robert Wilson-Black. Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2021. 281 pp. This book is an adaptation of one of the last dissertations advised by the great American historian of religion and distinguished Lutheran, Martin Marty. His student, Robert Wilson-Black, has been CEO of Sojourners since 2013 but earlier served as an administrator at the University of Chicago and then as a college and seminary vice [End Page 99] president for a decade. He has written widely and serves on the board of Lynchburg University. The book describes the great debates about if and how religion ought to be taught in the constantly changing face of American higher education from the beginning of the 20th century to its midpoint following World War II. Its scope and depth of research are truly remarkable. The author seems to have covered the thoughts on this subject of almost every elite intellectual in every elite university in America from the turn of the 20th century to its mid-point. Early on he develops a typology of thinkers who argue their vision of the nature of religion and how it ought to be presented in academia. The types are "skeptics," "pious true believers," and "those who functioned primarily as reconcilers between them for each college or discipline" (xx). After World War II, as after World War I, many educators were so shaken by the collapse of civilization in the Christian West that they thought deeply about how higher education should wrestle with the civilizational crisis illuminated by the wars. Christian and secular humanist movements existed in both periods; members of those movements wondered how young Americans should be shaped as good citizens by higher education. For them, the role of religion in education was crucial. But how to go about it? This book plumbs that question in great detail, especially among the best and brightest in the educational world. Wilson-Black traces the many debates that took place in the elite colleges. Some atheists and skeptics from outside the Christian humanist movement argued that secular humanism could supply the moral fiber needed in the new generation. Most, however, saw an important role for religion, especially Christianity, for such a task. Should religion be presented through a department of religion at the undergraduate level? Should it be spread throughout the curriculum as kind of a tutoring in natural law? Should it be limited to a graduate school of divinity? Should it be embedded in other departments? Further, should religion be taught objectively and scientifically as religious studies? Or should it have a persuasive dimension to its teaching? These questions have not gone away by any means. Indeed, it seems that "religious studies," with no privilege [End Page 100] offered to Christian studies, is increasingly dominant, even in our church-related colleges. The powerful "diversity, inclusivity, and equity" movement ensures the demotion of Christian perspectives, especially of an orthodox Christian sort. The book covers the role of religion in higher education up to the 1950s. Interestingly, that period featured many intellectuals who thought that the Christian faith was crucial in the moral development of young Americans. Such intellectuals are fairly rare now, with many instead believing that orthodox Christianity should be banished from an influential role. Other movements—ecological, sexual, anti-racial, multicultural, and "diversity"—are seen as far more promising in shaping young minds. Perhaps the author's next book will take up that great change. One limiting factor in this book is its exclusive attention to elite higher education. It does not discuss at all the role of religion in the many ethnic, evangelical, and Roman Catholic colleges of the time. In those places, Christian faith—not only in its moral dimension—played a robust role in the shaping of millions of non-elite Americans, whose important story should also be told.

Lembaga Pendidikan Pesantren di Indonesia

Islamic boarding schools are educational institutions that have a long and unique history. Historically, pesantren are among the earliest Islamic education and still survive today. Unlike the educational institutions that emerged later, pesantren have been very instrumental in producing cadres of scholars, and then playing an active role in the spread of Islam and the transfer of knowledge. However, in the development of pesantren, it has undergone a transformation that allows it to lose its identity if its traditional values are not preserved. Because of its uniqueness, pesantren exist in various situations and conditions and it is almost certain that this institution, even though it is in very simple circumstances and has various characteristics, will never die. Likewise all the components in it such as the kyai or ustad and the santri always dedicate themselves to the continuity of the pesantren, of course this cannot be measured by the standards of the modern education system where teaching staff are paid, because of their hard work, payment is in material form. In this way, pesantren cannot be separated from the Indonesian national education system. This paper describes Islamic boarding schools in the national education system which includes studies on: Islamic boarding schools between madrasas and schools, patterns of curriculum development in Islamic boarding schools and the policies of the department of religion in Islamic boarding schools development.

SPECIALTY OF MATERIALS OF THE ONLINE MEDIA “UKRINFORM”

The material explores the specifics of coverage of materials in the internet media “UKRINFORM”. This question is relevant because journalists need to know how modern media prepare their materials, what topics they choose to cover. It should be noted that the internet media “UKRINFORM” has the following headings: war, politics, economy, Ukraine together, the world, society, culture, regions, Kyiv, Crimea, sports, diaspora, technologies. All materials are presented by journalists at a high professional level, they choose relevant topics for coverage. This question is relevant today, as some journalists like to repeat the titles of columns, take them from other publications. A good example of the great variety of headings is Internet media “UKRINFORM”. Each heading interestingly covers the information. The good example of journalists materials is an article named – “The deportation of Ukrainian children to russia took on the characteristics of genocide”, in which journalists said that the enemy dreams of turning Ukrainian children into janissaries: for this aggressor, both filtering and “sorting into healthy and sick” and deporting Ukrainian children to russia. Journalists note that for almost nine years of the russian-Ukrainian war, under the guise of “voluntary evacuation” and “concern for the younger generation”, the enemy is trying to take as many minor Ukrainian citizens as possible from the temporarily controlled territories to russia. These children are assimilated, taught in “love Mother russia” schools, adopted... According to the state portal “Children of War”, during the period of the full-scale war, 16,222 minors were deported, as of February 5. These are registered, verified cases that are not accurate due to active hostilities and the temporary occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine. Another good example of journalists of “UKRINFORM” work is an article named – “I was afraid that if I die in “Azovstal”, my son will have no memories of me”, in which journalists write: “She is 30 years old, her call sign “Hilde” is in honor of a valkyrie who had the gift of resurrection. Before the start of hostilities in Donbas, she worked as a legal adviser in the Department of Culture, Nationalities and Religion of the Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration. In 2014–2015, she was a volunteer, and then went to serve in a separate special purpose unit “Azov”. So journalists-publications cover the Internet data, for information select good pictures and present materials concisely and professionally. Especially high quality and at a high professional level, journalists provide information about the war in Ukraine.

How Competence of Production, Attention, Retention, Motivation, and Innovation can Improve Students’ Scientific Writing Skills

This research aimed to prove the role of production, attention, retention, motivation, and innovation in students’ scientific writing skills at the Islamic Study College (PTAI) in Cirebon. This experimental research used a quasi-experimental design and a nonequivalent control group design. The experiment was conducted in two groups, experiment and control groups. The research samples included Lecturers from a public Islamic University. The experiment group samples were 38 students of the Philosophy of Religion Department. The control group consisted of 33 Islamic Guidance and Counseling Department students. The collection technique used was tested, comprised of a pretest and posttest. The two groups were given the same tests (pretest and posttest), and the results were compared. The instrument used in this research was a test. Validity determination for the scientific writing ability variable was not measured statistically but through construct validity. The reliability test resulted in a reliability coefficient from an assessor of 0.82, while all assessors' average rating reliability coefficient was 0.93. The normality test results on scientific writing ability data with the control class show Lo = 0.106 < Lt = 0.154. Meanwhile, the normality test on the experiment class’s scientific writing ability data results in a maximum Lo of 0.106 and Lt = 0.144. The balance test results show the score of tcount = 1.51 < ttable = 1.67. The data analysis with t independent test resulted in the score of tcount > ttable (10.45 > 1.65). This shows that the competence of production, attention, retention, motivation, and innovation can improve students’ scientific writing skills.
