Reframing The Period Of The Sahaba And Tabi`In In The Archipelago: Acceptance Of Tradition

The presence of the Sahaba and Tabi`in in the archipelago is proven by the discovery of grave sites and historical records that corroborate the Arab theory of the entry of Islam. The period of the Sahaba and Tabi`in was the period that received the best certification from the Prophet with the phrase "Khair al-Qurun". This hadith becomes the basis for the continuity of traditions carried out by the Moslim archipelago, which cannot be separated from the assimilation and acculturation carried out by the Sahaba and the Tabi`in. This research uses qualitative methods that are formulated in historical and interconnection aspects. The elaboration of this method is related to content analysis that correlates with the descriptive hadith of the Prophet about the virtues of the period of the Sahaba and the Tabi`in. The movement of the Sahaba as the successor of the Prophet and followed by the Tabi`in in spreading the mission of preaching Islam throughout the world was assimilated with the traditions that already existed in the region. The revitalization of the framing of the period of the Sahaba and Tabi`in in the archipelago is related to the understanding that the period of the Sahaba and Tabi`in was only in the Arabian Peninsula. The thought is dismantled in the facts and data that the period of the Sahaba and Tabi`in existed in the archipelago as a construction that the Moslem religion is now going straight with the teachings of Islam

Young Bedouin-Arab Men’s Ego and Pride: Do Traditional Masculinity and Positive Attitudes Toward Polygyny Shape Responses to a Wife’s Refusal?

Cultural traditions in Israel’s Bedouin-Arab community encourage and permit men to take up to four wives, a practice supported by Islamic teachings. Despite legal prohibitions against polygyny in Israel, such marriages remain common and have profound effects on women, children, and broader society. This study explores how traditional notions of masculinity and positive attitudes toward polygyny influence young Bedouin men’s reactions to a hypothetical scenario in which their wife refuses to accept a polygynous marriage as a threat to men’s ego and pride. The sample consisted of 459 young, unmarried Israeli Bedouin-Arab men, aged 16 to 25, a demographic frequently under family pressure to marry, making the issue of marriage highly relevant. We hypothesized that traditional masculinity and favorable attitudes toward polygyny would be positively associated with heightened perceptions of ego and pride threats in response to a wife’s refusal. Participants were randomly assigned to imagine either their wife refusing a polygynous arrangement (n = 228) or accepting a polygynous arrangement (n = 231) and then reporting their anticipated emotional responses. The results showed that traditional masculinity was linked to positive attitudes toward polygyny, and both were significantly associated with increased perceptions of ego and pride threats in the refusal scenario but not in the acceptance scenario. The findings suggest that men with strong masculine identities and favorable views of polygyny are especially vulnerable to feeling threatened by a wife’s refusal. This supports social construction theory and underscores the role of cultural norms in shaping emotional responses. The discussion highlights the psychological impacts of polygyny in patriarchal societies and calls for culturally sensitive interventions that challenge traditional norms while fostering psychological resilience and gender equality.
