The feeling of destiny: taqdeer and ‘voluntary’ return in the everyday lives of irregularised Pakistani migrants

ABSTRACT This article inquires into how rejected asylum seekers and returning migrants feel and make sense of their (im)mobility. Focusing on the emic concept of taqdeer (destiny), it explores how Pakistani migrants affectively experience and interpret restrictive mobility regimes. The article contextualises the value of destiny in the lives of irregularised migrants, (rejected) asylum seekers with an order to leave, as well as those who return under such circumstances. It explores how perspectives, narratives and feelings of destiny form an integral part of their lived experiences: How a shared understanding of taqdeer primarily serves as a means to communicate affective states but also serves as an important way to accept or contest diverse situations of (im)mobility, experiences of irregularisation and return. I argue that taqdeer is an integral part of the affective economy of (return) migration and often aids people in meaning-making and provides them with a way to engage with the vulnerabilities and gendered burdens of irregularised migration and return. The concept of destiny furthers ethnographic understanding of the intimate entanglement of the bureaucratic and divine dimensions of (im)mobility in the lives of irregularised Muslim migrants.

Pengertian Islam Dan Sains Menurut Sayyed Nasr

Syed Nashr is one of the leading intellectuals in the discourse on the relationship between science and religion, especially in the Islamic world. Examining Nashr's thought is a relevant and significant effort to better understand one important aspect of scientific development in the Islamic world in particular, and science in general in the West. This research uses a qualitative descriptive research method by comparing books, journals, articles and others which reveal the meaning of science and religion and the relationship between the two according to Syed Nashr as one of the Muslim scientists who is aggressive towards science. From the analysis carried out by Syed Nashr, it is revealed that modern Western science is experiencing a spiritual crisis and is experiencing disease infection by secular modern thinking, therefore science needs an infusion or injection of Islamic values ​​with a divine dimension in religious revelation so that science and religion there can be a balance between the worldly and the spiritual and all of this must be based on the phrase ''Laa ilaa hailla Allah'' For the purpose of Nasr providing these thoughts to explore Nasr's thoughts regarding the definition of religion and science, as well as how these two disciplines can complement each other and be harmonious in the pursuit of truth.

BUDI PEKERTI SEBAGAI PRIORITAS LIFELONG LEARNING DALAM GEGURITAN SALAMPAH LAKU

In general, there are two main mistakes in the world of education today: apathy towards character development or, conversely, a rush towards the divine dimension. In the first error, education, whether overtly or covertly, is separated from the attainment of good character. Education is only aimed at producing superior people who will bring technological progress to society. Even though students do not have adequate manners, if they are smart, they are considered tolerable. On the other hand, even though you have good manners but do not have sufficient intelligence, you are considered unable to contribute to society. Meanwhile, in the second mistake, education is based on rigid dogmas related to divinity. Students are not given the freedom to interpret these dogmas and are only required to follow them. Often, this method only focuses on the abstract world and forgets about real life, including cultivating morals. Moral teachings can actually balance both worldly intelligence and belief in divinity. Through moral teachings, intelligent people with character and religious figures who are far from blind fanaticism can be formed. In Geguritan Salampah Laku, it is stated that complete learning must be pursued throughout life. The priority for successful learning at each stage is an increasingly established character. This type of research is qualitative with a textual approach

PLATO`S MYTHS

The article examines the question of Plato's concern with mythology. The author claims that Plato was an uncompromising critic of traditional myth and poetic myth-making, because such myths distorted the real images of the gods and their actions. Poetic myths do not reflect well on education, so their creators should, as Plato believed, be removed from a just state. The article draws attention to the fact that Plato himself was a significant mythmaker - he tells many important philosophical ideas precisely in the form of myths. The author analyzes the reasons for Plato's appeal to myth, defines the functions performed by myth in Plato's dialogues, the importance of Platonic myth-making for philosophy and mythology. It is noted that Plato uses myth as a tool of expressiveness, considers it as an effective means of persuasion. On the other hand, the article proves the thesis that the Platonic myth is a way to express the deep problems of existence that cannot be grasped by the human mind. Therefore, Plato's myths tell about what happens in the sky, under the Earth in Hades, in the distant past. The article concludes that a substantial reform of the entire ancient Greek mythology takes place in the Platonic myth-making activity. Plato combines myth with rational thinking, with the Logos. For Plato, a myth is a rationalized myth in which not only the cosmos acquires a divine dimension, but also man and his world, the polis. This is how the dialectician becomes a creator of myths. Plato, the article claims, becomes a mythmaker because it is extremely important for him to find a support for man in the human soul, as reliable and eternal as the divine cosmos of traditional myths used to serve.

Constructing Human Integrity in the Perspective of Sunda Wiwitan Religious Ethics

This paper examines human integrity from the perspective of local religion of Sunda Wiwitan in Cigugur, Kuningan, West Java, Indonesia. We collected research data using qualitative research strategies through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and literature research. The complexity of humanity is explored and internalized by various groups, including indigenous peoples. Human integrity occurs when there is unity between the physical and spiritual aspects. The physicaland spiritual aspects of a healthy and harmonious human being are a marker for humanity that is human (homo humanum) and even has a divine dimension (homo religious). The core of the construction of human integrity in the Sunda Wiwitan Religious Ethics is when there is an attitude of “silih”, or “saling”, i.e, reciprocated acts of kindness toward each other. This attitude is further described as an attitude or behavior of making each other fragrant or silih wangi. This means that humans (must) protect each other’s reputation and do well to others, and that they are motivated to eliminate each other’s weaknesses or shortcomings; humans show themutual behavior of silih asah (meaning that humans educate one another, are willing to share knowledge, understanding, and skills); humans show a mutual caring behavior or silih asuh (humans protect one another, give to each other, help each other in need and distress); humans love one another or showing the behavior of silih asih. This local wisdom related to Sunda Wiwitan humanism is increasingly relevant for today’s global society in reflecting on the meaning and essence of humanity.

Health Belief Model in Quranic Perspective: A Synthesizing themes of Health Behavior

The encouragement of worship described by the Qur'an in various verses has another dimension related to the health belief model construction. This study aims to identify the formation of beliefs in actions that lead a person to healthy behaviours depicted in various verses by nahyu (prohibition) and amr (command). This study uses qualitative methods with a thematic analysis model to achieve this goal. A search of the various verses shows a pattern of the Qur'an's awareness of changes in actions correlated with statements about the potential risks that threaten humans that may prevent them from worshipping. Fear of the threat of danger as a driving mechanism for change in action is strengthened by motivating the benefits obtained in acting. The two aspects of consciousness, risk, and profit are driven by self-confidence that arises from awareness of servitude. The embodiment of the health beliefs model in the Qur'an represents the divine dimension that manifests in fulfilling the obligation to produce healthy behaviours.

Konsep Keabadian dan Waktu dalam Perspektif Pemikiran Islam

Intellectual pluralism which refers to a variety of views and approaches in understanding Islamic teachings, which allows different interpretations of certain aspects of Islamic beliefs and philosophy which focuses on the concepts of "time" and "eternity" which over time have decreased in the Islamic philosophical tradition includes interpretations of philosophers and theologians from various schools of Islamic thought by identifying differences and similarities in the views of figures such as al- Kindi, al- Farabi, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), and al- Ghazali, who represent interpretations in understanding the relationship between time and eternity in the context of Islamic metaphysics. Pluralism as part of the tradition of Islamic thought links between Islamic metaphysical concepts in a wider cultural, social and historical context. The concepts of "time and eternity" in the understanding of the relationship between finite universes refer to the time dimension of temporality and eternity which posits the existence of matter and divine reality. Time is an aspect related to changes and events in a finite universe, the universe has a beginning and an end in a sense. Time is also related to dimensions where a dimension is not complete if there is no time. The concept of eternity refers to a divine dimension or eternity that exists beyond the finite time frame of the universe. In Islamic thought, God is considered as an eternal entity that is not limited by time. This concept reflects the eternal and infinite nature of God in the Islamic theological tradition. Relationships between dimensions can create a finite temporal dimension of the universe and an eternal dimension of eternity. In this view, the universe is in a time frame while God as the creator of the universe exists outside the time dimension. This relationship can be interpreted as the relationship between the finite and the infinite, between the temporary and the eternal. Through this relationship it provides a basis for explaining how material reality and divine existence interact in different ways. This raises questions about the origin and the purpose of the universe as well as the role of humans in this scheme of relations. Overall, the concept of "time and eternity in the understanding of the relationship between finite universes reflects an attempt to cover up the complexity of the relationship between time, temporality and eternity in the context of Islamic thought. Interpretation and understanding of these concepts can vary, and philosophical and theological thinking plays a role in develop a deeper understanding of the relationship with the universe.

Sacred Stories for Human Beings with Bodies and Brains

Recent studies on the dynamics and purposes of storytelling have highlighted the ways that stories employ embodied, affective, and conceptual elements in order to reinforce cultural values and prompt further ethical reflection. These aspects of storytelling are supported and enriched by insights from ancient rhetoricians and contemporary cognitive scientists who have shown how vivid description, mental simulation of embodied activity, and conceptual blending work through our bodies and brains to move us affectively and mentally. The sacred stories of the Bible, strengthened by their divine dimensions and existential issues, work with the same elements to move their audiences. Luke 5:27–39 (Jesus’s encounter with Levi) and Luke 7:11–17 (Jesus raising a widow’s son) are explored as test cases to illuminate the power that embodiment, emotion, simulation, and conceptualization can have in stories that touch upon the sacred, prompting their audiences to ethical reflection and action.

Through Him All Things Were Made

The medieval theological worldview was a synthesis of grace and nature that allowed theology and science to act together in a sacred and salvific pursuit of knowledge. This synthesis is beautifully expressed in the Divine Ideas tradition. In this tradition, the tapestry upon which ancient and medieval theology was written, created things existed by reflecting God’s eternal ideas of them. This gave all natural knowledge a Trinitarian dimension because the generation of ideas in the Divine Mind and of created things in the world was isomorphic with the generation of the Son, the uncreated Logos. In my paper, I will argue that just as all things exist as a primordial sacrifice of the Creator offered and known outside Godself through the Son-Logos, so we participate in that primordial gift (in beatitude) when we, recognizing the divine profundity of nature, come to a knowing of God-in-things—to use Meister Eckhart’s phrase. In this tradition, humans, made in God’s image, are ordained to participate in God’s knowing of all things, and to offer creation back up into Divine life by knowing and worshiping God through theology, science, and liturgy. The Divine Ideas model, then, would restore to the sciences a contemplative, salvific power in recognizing the mystical depth of creatures. I will examine theologians like Maximus the Confessor, the Victorines, and modern theologian Mark McIntosh as they see both scientific and theological knowing as a deifying participation in Divine life. I will look at the poetry of St. John the Divine and Thomas Traherne as it lifts the human imagination, illumined by nature and consecrated through liturgy into the life of the world to come. I will close by saying that this tradition becomes especially important in a world confronting the climate crisis. By recognizing the Divine dimensions of creatures, we see how the waste and pollution of the integrity and beauty of the wilderness blemishes the sacrifice of knowing and love that humanity is called to offer to God through theology, the sciences, and the eucharist.

HINDU WOMAN IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, AN ANTHROPOLOGY OF RELIGION APPROACH

The background of this research takes a different position with many writings discussing Hindu women who are generally said to be marginal and alienated from their cultural structure and social system. Even if it is associated with customs and culture, one of them is through the patrilineal system as it applies in Bali, they are considered to have no contribution at all. Another theme that is also often found in many types of research is the ambivalent attitude that worships Hindu women while at the same time degrading them, especially concerning women's bodies. There are not many writers who re-discuss this theme from the anthropology of religion or religious anthropology which views women in the scriptures not only as a theological and divine dimension but also as an open space for how women can see themselves and act in their culture. Through qualitative research methods using the perspective of religious anthropology based primarily on Hindu scriptures, this study found in-depth interviews and participatory observations and anthropological perspectives of religion enriched with literature studies in the form of holy scriptures, this study found so many important roles of Hindu women who not many people know. The negative stigma about women, the natural-cultural dichotomy, and those who consider Hindu women to be sub-ordinate can only be enlightened through this research.

Border of Ethics and Law: A Critique of the Theory of “Denying the Entry of Law into the Scope of the Veil“ (Comparative Study of Islam, Iran, and Europe)

The decriminalization approach can be corrected in some individual or social dimensions. The dimensions of the veil are not limited to the individual scope and have many social effects, but the neglect of social effects and neglect of other dimensions are against the principles of Islamic law and can be criticized. The realm of law is not limited to the social sphere, and the individual and divine dimensions are not outside the sphere of law, and the entry of law into this realm is rationally defensible and is based on the correct drawing of the boundary between ethics and law; Accordingly, in this article, on the one hand, by presenting logical arguments for the entry of law into all necessary human relations, under the correct draw of moral and legal boundaries, criticizes arguments against entering the law in other cases to individual scope. On the other hand, as a violation argument, an attempt has been made to prove the entry of law into the subject of the veil by referring to and analyzing various domestic and foreign laws due to the social dimensions of the veil.

Imago naturae. Cristiani e pagani a confronto nello specchio della natura (IV-V secolo)

Imago naturae. Christians and pagans face to face in the miror of nature (4th-5th c.) The contribution examines the way in which, between the 4th and 5th centuries, Christian thinkers confronted themselves with the way in which, in their ‘natural philosophy’, the pagan thinkers of the time faced various aspects of the problem of the nature. After briefly recalling the main themes of the confrontation in the pre-Constantinian period, the contribution examines some continuities such as the apologetic line and the Christian attempt, in particular by Augustin, within the nascent theology of creation, to secularize the divine dimension of nature. In the last part the paper examines some innovations, starting with Basil’s preaching on Hexameron, focusing in conclusion on the way in which the contemplation of nature has become an important monastic theme, in particular through the reflection of Evagrius.

Oriental Orthodox Young Adults and Liturgical Participation: A Matter of Identity

Abstract This qualitative research on young adults of the Armenian Apostolic and Syriac Orthodox Churches in Lebanon considers why participation in liturgy aids the identity formation of youth in both communities. By participating in liturgical rituals, these young adults express identities which transcend the limited spaces they inhabit. These spaces are influenced by the minority context in Lebanon, as well as by traumatic historic experiences of both Armenians and Syriacs. Such spaces stimulate the youths’ appreciation for their ancient traditions and their strong connection to other members of their church communities, both past and present. Their sense of belonging is rooted in ancient languages and narratives, and in the embodied rituals that open Armenian and Syriac young people up to the divine dimension of liturgy in church and in daily life. We argue that, for the research population, engagement in the liturgy is a matter of identity.

MEMAKNAI RELEVANSI KONSEP PROFETIK KUNTOWIJOYO DENGAN MANAJEMEN PENDIDIKAN ISLAM

This paper discusses how the values of the prophetic spirit coined by Kuntowijoyo can enter certain aspects in the management of Islamic education. This is important because what often happens the concept of management is more focused on administrative matters so that it loses its substantive meaning, namely directed, structured, and character-oriented. This paper is written in the form of scientific articles that refer to scientific books and documents. The result is, that educational management must be focused on the spirit of transcendence which means having a divine dimension, liberation means freeing humans from the shackles of life, and humanization which means being able to synergize goodness towards an organized goal.

Nilai Moralitas dalam Pembentukan Peraturan Perundang-Undangan

<p><em>The legislators should make the value of Pancasila a fundamental value or as the source of all sources of law, bringing consequences for the legislators to become a guide and guide in carrying out legislative functions. Ironically, the reality is that the legislators show that there are paradigmatic problems and a crisis of ethical awareness in the formation and enforcement of laws in Indonesia. What emerges is law development and law enforcement that is stagnant, centralized, corrupt and very far from divine and humanist values, and far from achieving social justice. The actualization of Divine Values as the fundamental value of Pancasila should be accommodated and become the basis for legislators in carrying out their functions and duties in the formation of laws or laws and transformed into laws that they form, so that they will give birth to laws that are effective and have divine dimensions. humanity, unity and social justice.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>Morality; Legislation; Regulation.</em></p>
