Нияз-Мухаммад Сулейманов и книжная культура мусульман Казахской степи в начале ХХ века

In the territory of the Russian Empire in the 19th and early 20th centuries, printing in Oriental languages became widespread. Several printing houses financed by influential Muslim merchants opened in Troitsk, Orenburg, Ufa, Kazan, St. Petersburg, and Tashkent. The printed books using Arabic script reached the Qazaq Steppe. This was due not only to the efforts of the Qazaqs, who published their works in various printing houses, but also to the activities of the Tatars. The article deals with the activities of Niyaz-Muhammad Suleymanov, a Siberian Tatar who distributed Islamic books printed in Arabic script in the Qazaq Steppe. Suleymanov wrote many works on the reforming of Islamic education, the need to learn Russian, and reading khutbah in Tatar. Besides, he was the publisher of many books in Tatar, Qazaq and Arabic. Suleymanov owned several bookstores in Petropavlovsk and Omsk. The book trade allowed Suleymanov to find means for a variety of activities. He was a participant of All-Russian Muslim congresses, and an imam of the Second Cathedral Mosque of Omsk from 1907 to 1916. Suleymanov closely contacted with Tatar and Qazaq intellectuals of the period, e.g., with a Qazaq writer and public figure Zhanuzak Zhanybekov and a Tatar scholar and the editor of the “Shura” magazine, Rizaetdin Fakhreddinov. Niyaz-Muhammad Suleymanov’s biography and the context of his activity allow us to study the specifics of the formation of the Islamic book culture in the Qazaq Steppe: the types of books that were favored, the areas of their distribution, how the content of these books influenced the social and political movement among Muslims, as well as the development of spiritual culture at large.

UJARAN KEBENCIAN DALAM UNDANG-UNDANG NOMOR 7 TAHUN 2017 TENTANG PEMILU DAN TINJAUAN SIYASAH DUSTURIYAH

The main problem in this thesis is the regulation of hate speech in Law Number 7 of 2017, because when the agenda for a democratic party or also known as elections is approaching, the behavior of hate speech has greatly increased. Certain groups of candidates may clash with other supporting groups, so that Article 28E paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, "everyone has the right to freedom of association, assembly and expression of opinions", is very vulnerable to dealing with the right to freedom of opinion and expression. The purpose of this study is to find out more about the regulation of hate speech in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning general elections and siyasa dusturiyyah reviews. To answer the object of the study, the authors used library research using a normative juridical approach with statutory and conceptual approaches. In this case, it includes primary legal materials, namely from laws and regulations, especially Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections and secondary legal materials from legal and Islamic books and journals. In the research that the authors conducted, it can be concluded that, until now, hate speech in elections in Indonesia has not been clearly interpreted, even in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections (Elections) it is not explained in detail regarding how to define, victims, perpetrators, sanctions imposed as well as benchmarks or limitations that can be categorized as hate speech in elections. Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections in fiqh siyasa dusturiyyah, the source of its formation is siyasah wad'iyah because it is produced by mere human thought products which in the drafting process do not pay attention to norms and ethics. Hate speech in Islam is a prohibited act because it can cause harm, especially to the soul, and in it has an element of humiliation, namely lowering one's self-esteem/soul, which should be maintained or guarded for every human being from any group as per the concept of the formulation of the basis of the state (fiqh siyasa dusturiyyah). and the principle is to prioritize guarantees of human rights and realize justice.

Book Review: MUHAMMAD THE ULTIMATE LEADER: FROM WESTERN BUSINESS PERSPECTIVES by Daud Batchelor

Daud Batchelor, Muhammad the Ultimate Leader: From Western Business Perspectives. Islamic Book Trust, Kuala Lumpur, 2019. 174 pp. ISBN 978-967-0526-70-6; eISBN 978-967-0526-71-3. The present book under review is rather appealing. Its message is quite simple yet profound. As its title suggests, the book is about knowing the leadership qualities of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the lens of Western business perspectives. The thesis of the book is that non-Muslim Westerners may be persuaded to embrace a more positive view of the traditional Muslim claim that "Muhammad is a perennial leader, whose message applies for all time and across multiple fields, and for all people since he was sent as God's final Messenger for all humanity" (p. xi) if only they could see parallels between Muhammad's leadership qualities and the "high leadership qualities cited by Western business writers" (p. xii). This thesis sets the general theme of the book. Thus, in the book, its author Dr Daud Batchelor, a Westerner who converted to Islam, took upon himself the task of identifying "commonly acclaimed corporate leadership attributes cited by Western writers" and then comparing them with the Prophet Muhammad's leadership qualities that are well established in the Islamic tradition.

Education is very important for humans, because with education humans can become better human beings in various kinds of things, both worldly and hereafter. Education is a tool used to grow, develop, improve human identity. Therefore, it is certain that education is the big responsibility of educators, especially children's education, whether related to faith, morals, mental, physical or spiritual. In terms of children's education, we must realize that educating children is the responsibility of parents, how happy parents will be when in the future they can see their children grow into good human beings in faith, morals, mentally, physically and spiritually. However, in educating children an educator must be able to find new alternative methods that are more effective by applying the educational foundations that are influential in preparing children mentally and morally, scientifically, spiritually, and socially, so that children can become good human beings. To help educators carry out education, the Prophet has exemplified various kinds of educational methods which according to Abdullah Nasih Ulwan are as follows: Education by exemplary, Education with customs, Education with Advice, Education by giving attention, Education by giving punishment.

The Role of Plants in Human Health

Through extensive research, humans have discovered that the best way to achieve good health is by reconnecting with nature. Plants, which surround us, not only fulfill our physical needs for food and medicine but also our spiritual needs. Living in harmony with nature allows us to appreciate its beauty, including the awe-inspiring flowers, trees, and forests that invigorate our souls. Furthermore, the natural environment can have a religious significance, with Islam being a perfect and universal religion that offers a clear life program for the world. The holy book of Islam, the Quran, states that "TABAIENA LEKOLE SHAY IN" encapsulates this program succinctly. The importance of plants in human life cannot be overstated, as they have special effects on our lives in various ways, including helping us comprehend our intellectual relationships with nature. However, while the Quran contains numerous references to plants, there has been little systematic study on their use in human life. In this research, we will examine several verses from the Quran that discuss the effects of plants on the human body and soul.

This research examined the means of determining marriage witnesses in the Marriage Books from Sheikh Arsyad al-Banjari and Wahbah Az-Zuhaili. Marriage witnesses are a pillar of marriage that should not be neglected. Thus, one must adhere to some prerequisites to qualify as a marriage witness. This study employed a literature evaluation with the primary sources of Sheikh Arsyad al-Banjari’s Kitabun Nikah and the Islamic Book of Fiqh Islam Wa Adillatuhu and supporting data from numerous Banjar of South Kalimantan’s perspectives. The findings were examined descriptively and qualitatively. The results of this study demonstrated that according to Sheikh Arsyad Al-Banjari in the Kitabun Nikah, the provisions of the marriage witness are not to be mute, not to fight, and not to be the child of the bride and groom. In contrast, Wahbah az-Zuhaili in the Book of Fiqh Islam Wa Adillatuhu permits it, as children and enemies can witness the marriage.

Sexual Slavery in Islam and through the Islamic State

The paper is inspired by Edward Said’s Orientalism, where it is emphasized that the Occident feels the need to liberate the Orient. The reasonings of why Islam is perceived as the Orient today will be discussed, which will lead to a discussion of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria’s (ISIS’) oppression of the Yezidi women in Iraq and Syria. In a New York Times article, “ISIS Enshrines a Theology of Rape,” Rukmini Callimachi reports several accounts of Yezidi women who successfully escaped the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, where they were raped in the name of religion. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria claim that sexual slavery is supported by the Quran, the holy book of Islam. Based on their claims of Quranic support, “the Islamic State [of Iraq and Syria] codifie[d] sex slavery in conquered regions of Iraq and Syria” (Callimachi, 2015). Therefore, ISIS’ claim that Islam allows such an inhumane behavior towards females will be questioned while exploring Islam’s actual stance on the subject of sexual slavery. First, the Islamic stance on sexual slavery will be explored, the emergence of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria will be examined, followed by a thorough investigation of the perception of sexual slavery in Islam by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, ending with a comparison and contrast among the two stances.

„Jak zachwyca, kiedy nie zachwyca?”

“HOW IS IT DELIGHTFUL WHEN IT IS NOT?”: ON THE TRANSLATIONS OF THE 55TH SURA OF THE KORAN AR-RAḤMĀN – THE MERCIFUL The Koran is not only the holy book of Islam, but also one of the most important literary works of classical Arabic literature. Muslims and people who know Arabic emphasize the extraordinary beauty of this text, written in rhymed and rhythmic prose. 55 sura of the Koran, Ar-Raḥmān (The Merciful) is widely regarded, both in Muslim and Orientalist circles, as one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, sura of the Koran from the artistic point of view. This is mainly due to the presence of a kind of “refrain” in this sura, which, of course, also has a semantic role in the context of the content of this fragment of the holy book of Muslims. The subject of the article is, first of all, a comparative analysis of the translation of this sura, and first of all of the refrain, in selected translations of the Koran into Polish, German, French and Russian. The analysis focuses not on the way of presenting the content, but on whether the authors of the translations tried to reflect the undoubted beauty of the sound of the Koranic text, which is supposed to delight not only with its content, but also its form, and translators usually have huge problems with this. The conclusions resulting from this analysis have a broader meaning, because analogous problems also arise in the case of ancient Arabic poetry and some other literary genres, primarily maqāma.

تحليل تداولي للفعل الإنجازي للاستفهام استنادا للنص العربي لسورة الصافات في القرآن الكريم

This study aims at investigating the illocutionary acts (pragmatic meanings) of Qur’ānic interrogations in Surah As- Saffat. In addition, it examines the correspondence level of such illocutionary acts according to Searle (1976) classifications of illocutionary acts. Since most of the Qur’ānic interrogations are not used to indicate their basic meanings, but to indicate pragmatic meanings, interpreting and analyzing such utterances may pose a problem and sometimes brings about misunderstanding, especially when they are rendered from Arabic into another language. The data of the study are 28 interrogations collected from the original Qur’ānic Arabic text of Surah As- Saffat. Qualitative content analysis has been used to examine the data by consulting well- known classical and modern Islamic books of exegesis (Tafsîr) to determine the intended pragmatic meanings of such Qur’ānic utterances. The present study proved that all the Qur’ānic interrogations in Surah As- Saffat go beyond their basic meanings to indicate different pragmatic meanings that are not said directly in the text. Those pragmatic meanings include affirmation, disaffirmation, exclamation, disdain, consulting, advice, offering, rebuke, warning, negation and threatening. Some of these illocutionary acts correspond to three types of illocutionary speech acts proposed by Searle, namely, assertives, directives and commissives. The study findings show that the illocutionary acts of such Qur’ānic interrogations are determined by their situational contexts. The study concluded that the illocutionary acts of these Qur’ānic interrogations are pragmatically rather than syntactically determined. Thus, it is strongly recommended to employ Speech Act Theory in interpreting and analyzing Qur’ānic interrogations, and other Qur’ānic speech acts.

The Recognition of Holy Qur’an Reciters Using the MFCCs’ Technique and Deep Learning

The Holy Qur’an has recently gained recognition in the field of speech-processing research. It is the central book of Islam, from which Muslims derive their religious teachings. The Qur’an is the primary source and highest authority for all Islamic beliefs and legislation. It is also one of the most widely memorized and recited texts around the world. Listening to and reciting the Qur’an is one of the most important daily practices for Muslims. In this study, we propose a deep learning model using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and a dataset consisting of seven well-known reciters. We utilize mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) to extract and evaluate information from audio sources. We compare our proposed model to different deep learning and machine learning methodologies. Our proposed model outperformed the competing models with an accuracy of 99.66%, compared to the support vector machine’s accuracy of 99%.

The Role of Ecclesiastical Religious Institutions in Translating the Holy Quran

In this research, I mentioned the role played by churches and monasteries in translating the meanings of the Noble Qur'an. How the church was able to impose its religious authority and transform the ancient Roman Empire, which extends geographically from the beaches of the Euphrates in the east to Scotland in the west and from the Danube in the north to the desert in the south, into a fighting religious doctrine. What was the great change made by Constantine in Christianity, after he gave wide powers to the church, raised its affairs, and gave the monks and priests many privileges and left them freedom in managing church affairs and issuing laws. As mentioned in the systems of churches and cultural monasteries that started from Spain and southern France and its role in translation of the Holy Quran, where the first Latin translation of the Holy Qur'an appeared in the year 1143 AD followed-by the translations of Islamic books after that. I also mentioned about the translation schools that spread quickly in Spain, and how Europe was drawn from the flag of Muslims and translated further into Latin, which is the language of the times in its time. This research also shows the role played by the Clooney monastery in their first translation and its advantages. I also touched on the reasons for the orientalists' interest in the studies of the Holy Qur'an. I ask God Almighty to make my work pure for his noble face.
