Literasi Digital terhadap Perilaku Penggunaan Internet Berkonten Islam di Kalangan Remaja Muslim Kota

Internet as media and information technology not only has a positive impact but also harms its users. Teenagers are the most vulnerable group that has an impact on internet use. The impact of using the internet depends on the digital literacy level of its users. This study examines digital literacy's effect on using the internet with Islamic content among urban Muslim teenagers. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The research subjects were 500 urban adolescents as the research sample. Measuring instruments used in this study are the Digital Literacy Scale for Teenagers to measure digital literacy and the Internet Behaviors Scale to measure internet usage behaviour. The result showed that digital literacy had a significant positive effect on internet usage behavior (B = 0.314; t = 13.602; p = 0.000). The higher level of digital literacy of adolescents automatically makes the higher behaviour in using the internet shows that digital literacy is important for using the internet with Islamic content among urban Muslim teenagers.

In memoriam: Izzaddin Mustafa Rasul (1934-2019), Iraqi Kurdish man of letters and Soviet-trained scholar

The literary scholar Izzaddin Mustafa Rasul (1934-2019) was one of the greatest Iraqi Kurdish scholars trained in the Soviet Union. He was one of a cohort of Iraqi students who received scholarships for study in the USSR in the wake of the 1958 coup that overthrew the Iraqi monarchy, and his time in the USSR coincided with the period of flourishing of Kurdish studies there. Rasul’s PhD dissertation analyzed the development of Kurdish literature within a schematic Marxist-Leninist developmental framework. In his major work, however, which focused on Ahmed Khani and his Mem û Zîn, he went well beyond the standard Soviet treatment of literary works and focused especially on the dimensions of Sufi theosophy and other Islamic content in the work. In this respect, Rasul’s work stands out as a rare exception in Soviet Oriental studies. It remains one of the most ambitious studies of the early modern Kurdish poet Khani.

EFFECTS OF CLIMATE ON THE ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN DESIGN OF TRIPOLI

Tripoli is a city of a Mediterranean Sea climate; this has contributed with some social and religious factors to affect the architectural and urban design, which all originally has come from the Islamic content. This study argues the climatic features of Tripoli in order to show the ways followed by the Libyan Muslim architect. In other words, these ways were used to adapt with the climate and create the demanding architectural treatments, which have served the building units. This is considered as a study case that can discuss the possibility of the climatic reflection on the walls. That is to say, the walls’ thickness, the type of the used substance in building, the substance’s properties, the type of roof used in covering the building units and the architectural design of the building as treatments achieved professionally by the architect in decreasing the heat in summer and increasing the heat in winter through the mass block. Additionally, the researchers have stated that Tripoli’s building design respected the privacy of the inhabitants and their isolation from the world outside their buildings. That is because they wanted to have their own cold spaces inside which were rich of light, air and shadow. As a result of the aforementioned considerations, the architectural buildings contained the uncovered space and the broken entrance to keep the privacy from the passengers and to protect the inhabitants from wind and sand. These were regarded as final solutions for the architectural and climatic problem. Further, this study illustrates the active role of using the planning including the architectural formations and the treatments of motion path. That is according to their width, their length, their form, their guidance and their direction change in order to make shadow and isolate the front of buildings. This also contributed to give the streets the northern wind which in turn helped to keep the air moving as long as possible to tone down the climatic influences. Moreover, the planning aimed to show its turn through analytical, architectural and documentary survey for realistic examples in the archeological registrar of the potential city treatments. These architectural elements were important in making the sustainable architecture in respect to the environment and human relaxation requirements. Finally, the researchers measured the following factors temperatures, wind, rain, and ratio humidity for variety of spaces in the city. That was followed by qualitative and quantitative statistical analysis supported by graphs

Prioritized Content of Islamic Television Channels: An Analytical Study of Alhijrah TV

In the world of media and communication, the producers of content are major contributors who create issues for an audience to think about. This content is not randomly created, but rather created based on certain agendas. This paper analyzes the content of the Alhijrah channel, a Malaysian Islamic TV.

ISLAMIC CULTURAL NOTES IN ELT INSTRUCTION IN THE ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOLS OF HARAMAIN NAHDLATUL WATHAN NARMADA, WEST NUSA TENGGARA

Islamic contents and English were taught at Islamic Boarding School (IBS) Haramain Nahdlatul Wathan (NW) Narmada. English is taught as a general subject and compulsory subject as well. An English community (Language Asrama) is established by Kiai. It is aimed at practicing speaking English and exercising public speaking skills. IBS Haramain NW Narmada includes one of the IBSs in Indonesia in which it reflected Islamic values, cultures, and indoctrination in its teaching and learning.

Исламская научная традиция и европейская мысль

The article is devoted to the consideration of the Islamic intellectual tradition from the point of view of the possibility of correlating it with the social and hu­manitarian aspects of science, formed in the traditions of European culture. The reason for this study was postmodernist interpretations of the processes of the Islamization of knowledge as ways to overcome the dichotomy of science and religion. These interpretations are based on the social, in fact, idea of the civilizational identity of Muslims living and working today in European countries (including those working in the field of science) and Muslims of the traditional Islamic East. The authors, however, associate the prospects of a re­newed interpretation of the Islamic scientific tradition with the possibility of its rethinking in the context of the post-nonclassical concept of scientific rationality. This concept makes it possible to overcome the interpretation of “western” and “eastern” knowledge, which reaches the point of opposition. Such a rethinking is unfolding today, in particular, in the course of the reinterpretation of historically established Islamized intellectual trends. The authors come to the conclusion: the Islamization of education in the East, begun by 9th century intellectuals (primar­ily from among the Muslim Ummah) on the didactic foundations laid down in the Qur’an and Sunnah, implied a rethinking of the cultural status of various fields of knowledge from the standpoint of the corresponding value orientations, which, in principle does not contradict the modern understanding of science as an axiologically oriented system. The very possibility of this kind of correlation of the value aspects of knowledge opposes the “scientific marginalization” of Is­lam and presupposes the delineation of the semantic content of Islam as a cul­tural regulator that also orientates science and Islam as a system of rigid reli­gious ideas.

HUMAN RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS IN BURHANIDDIN AL-MARGINANI’S WORK “AL-HIDAYA”

The study of the life and work of scientists, in particular, the heritage of scholars-faqihs of Maverannahr, who have great authority in all regions of the Islamic world, is becoming increasingly important in the world aspect. Their works on jurisprudence still serve as textbooks on Islamic law. This fact proves the importance and relevance of studying the history of origin, stages of development, and distinctive features of jurisprudence in Maverannahr. The article provides information on the study of ideas and recommendations in the book of Burkhaniddin al-Marginani al-Hidaya and analysis of the guidelines for the regulation of property relations, which provide specifc rules for the treatment of the property. Particular attention is paid to the legal status of minors, mentally retarded, and slaves as subjects. In today’s complex world extremist movements and fundamentalists that threaten the development of society in today’s complex world distort the essence and content of Islam and try to use it for their nefarious purposes. Therefore, the correct interpretation of the true essence of Islam, its basic principles, as well as peacekeeping and humanistic ideas is especially relevant and important. The study of fqh as a system closely related to practical life also acquires scientifc and practical signifcance. The four-volume al-Hidaya, written by Burhanuddin alMarginani, is an important and comprehensive legal code for the Hanaf school of thought in the Sunni school. It consists of more than 55 books, hundreds of chapters and covers all areas of Islamic law.

Designing Podcast for the Teaching of Islamic Expressions in English

The use of podcast as a medium of instruction in English classrooms has gained immense interests of L2 researchers and practioners. However, few of the existing studies highligt the use of Podcast to teach Islamic expressions within the context of Indoesian Islamic higher education. To fill this gap, this study aimed at designing Podcast that serves purposes for the teaching of Islamic expressions in English, and documenting the students’ perceptions toward the instructional design. This case study garnered the data from 45 students majoring in the English Department at the State Islamic Institute of (IAIN) Metro, Indonesia. The empirical evidence show that designing the Podcast for the teaching of Islamic expressions in English requires four interplay and systematic steps, namely planning, designing, evaluating, and uploading. The students perceived that their acceptance to the Podcast based learning design was driven by two key factors, namely the moral values embedded in the podcasts addressing Islamic content, and the content delivery fitting the condition of the target audience. This study encapsulates that English teachers pay attention on the content and pedagogical methods when designing a Podcast for the teaching of Islamic expressions in English.

Nurturing Islamic Media Content in Digital Environment

Today, in the globalized world, new media technologies including social media platforms have dramatically changed the nature of human communications. Old and new media platforms have to some extend converged and allowed the circulation of content to reach global audiences. Media content in various forms has been transmitted to the Muslim society through oral communication, written materials as well as printing, broadcast and new media technologies. Ideally, Muslim culture is derived from the culture of knowledge and communication. As understood from the notion of ‘ilm (knowledge) and iqra’ (read), the history of communication in Islam has been firmly based on the transmission of Islam as a comprehensive way of life. This article offers a systematic way of understanding the nurturing process of Islamic media content in the digital environment by examining and conceptualizing the related issues of the media ecosystem in Muslims society. Therefore, crafting the variety of Islamic media content to suit the different medium is in a need to be re-examined. This paper will evaluate issues related to overview of Islamic entertainment, examine the need for new ijtihad (legal reasoning), and nurturing Islamic popular culture through the establishment of a competitive and dynamic Islamic production house. It is argued that globalization has “imposed” some sorts of new challenges to the Muslim world with regards to the media philosophy and technology.

THE ACTIVITY OF CHINESE MUSLIMS IN THE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL LIFE OF THE COUNTRY IN THE IX-XVI CENTURIES

The article presents information about the socio-political, economic, and cultural conditions in China in the 9th-16th centuries, the spread of Islam in China and its adaptation to the local culture, the participation of Muslim peoples in the social, economic, cultural life and educational process of the country. Also, it analyzes the formation of Muslim communities among the majority of followers of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism by adapting to their religious beliefs, close to the content of Islam, and the emergence of 10 separate legal systems, such as “Zu Tang” (“Foreigner living in China” ), “Fang Ke” (“Descendants of local Muslims”), “Fang Hue” (“Schools for foreigners”), “Qadi Department” (for the resolution of Muslim religious affairs), “Triple Administration” (consisting of an imam, a khatib and a muezzin dealing with the daily affairs of Muslims), which regulated the social and religious life of Muslims in China. It was found that during the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, fundamental changes occurred that contributed to the spread and development of Islam throughout China. Thanks to an active policy of national assimilation, the political status of Muslims changed, and they became the indigenous citizens of China. It was concluded that the participation of Muslims in the policy of national assimilation became the basis for the formation of new national communities based on common values, ethics, and rituals, as well as for the wider dissemination of Islamic teachings and philosophy in other parts of China.

An Islamic Distributed Information Retrieval Approach

The majority of Islamic and Muslim related search engines fail due to non-profit and content filtering issues due to explicit adult, hateful, and harmful content from Muslim perspectives are not addressed. While this is a crucial and noble initiative, it is controversial because it does not deal with all the needs of Muslim demography, including trustworthiness and aspects of life rather than Islam and religion. Custom search engines employ automatic REST API capability to provide results, and this can cause systemic engagement and compromises with their partners to search for and filter output results to cater customer needs. In reality though, this type of approach usually works with a small number of searches, it cannot be commercialized to serve a massive target audience of 1.8 billion Muslims around the world. To overcome this, the authors propose a novel information retrieval approach that uses homogeneous Islamic content available in distributed selective resources over the Internet to meet all Muslim needs. A difficult engagement algorithm is used to compromise highly relevant resources. Promising results were achieved with the proposed mutual approach.

Religious Communication in Digital Public Sphere

The interrelationship among religious communities in a particular society is complex. On many occasions, one community becomes dominant owing to several societal factors, and other communities remain on the edge. Religion in Bangladesh has a complex history. Besides, digital media as a new phenomenon has met religion recently, although this issue is often overlooked. As a result, no formal academic endeavor is seen in Bangladesh to date which focuses on the emerging digital Islamic public sphere and online religious communication. The present study tries to bridge this gap. Through careful observation of the digital public, their used contents, and produced cases of contestation, this article finds some exclusive communication patterns. First, communication among religious communities is unequal where Muslims dominate the discourse. Second, Islamic contents are more frequent in cyberspace than the contents of other religions. Third, Muslims produce digital media-based disinformation to marginalize religious minorities in both online and offline spheres.

Identification of markers and artificial intelligence-based classification of radical twitter data

Social networks have recently evolved from a means of connecting people to becoming a tool for social engineering, radicalization, dissemination of propaganda, and recruitment of terrorists. It is no secret that the majority of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) members are Arabic speakers, and even the non-Arabs adopt Arabic nicknames. However, the majority of the literature researching the subject deals with non-Arabic languages. Moreover, the features involved in identifying radical Islamic content are shallow and the search or classification terms are common in daily chatter among people of the region. We aim at distinguishing normal conversation, influenced by the role religion plays in daily life, from terror-related content. This article presents our experience and the results of collecting, analyzing, and classifying Twitter data from affiliated members of ISIS, as well as sympathizers. We used artificial intelligence and machine learning classification algorithms to categorize the tweets, as terror-related, generic religious, and unrelated. We report the classification accuracy of the K-Nearest Neighbor, Bernoulli Naïve Bayes, and Support Vector Machine (One-Against-All and All-Against-All) algorithms. We achieved a high classification F1 score of 83%. The work in this paper will hopefully aid more accurate classification of radical content.
