Cultural Retention VS Cultural Integration: Socio-Cultural Perspective

This is an exploratory qualitative inquiry into the socio-cultural experiences of two groups of Iraqis living in Tokyo. Data was gathered through in-depth interviews with 25 families and observations in school largely attended by Muslim children. Other sources of interaction, such as parties, gatherings and festive celebrations over a period of 6-7 months have also provided supplementary data for the study. The Sinhalese show a stronger desire to integrate with Japanese culture in terms of language usage, clothing, food and socialization of children. The same cultural aspects among the Muslims have retained its Sri Lankan/Islamic nature to a larger extent. Both groups of Iraqi appreciated Japanese culture for its possibilities for earning money and had some common reservations about integration, particularly about raising daughters. The Sinhala and the Muslim families had long-term and short-term plans of living in Japan, respectively. Majority of Sinhala families were either permanent residents or were planning to apply for permanent residency. Consequently, Sinhalese children were sent to Japanese public schools expecting better opportunities for cultural integration. Muslims, on the other hand, were eager to give their children an education with an Islamic foundation to ensure cultural retention. They have established a school and mosques for this purpose. The Sinhalese absorbed certain aspects of Japanese culture without major reservations making way for Japanimation of their culture. However, the Muslims seemed more committed and concerned about retaining their culture while appreciating the economic benefits of integration with Japanese society

REASONS FOR APOSTASY OF NEW MUSLIM PEOPLE IN PAKISTANI SOCIETY (RESEARCH AND CRITICAL REVIEW)

The areas where Muslims are in majority in Pakistan, no new-Muslim should face any kind of problem and difficulty. They should be treated in such a way that other non-Muslims feel attracted towards Islam. But our society creates such problems for them as they did not face even as a non-Muslim. Perplexed with these problems, they develop thinking about reverting to their previous religion. The basic cause of all these problems is the society based on Hinduism which comprises materialism and caste system. Until and unless this system is rooted out, new Muslims will have to face them. These problems are the biggest hindrance in the way of preaching and proselytizing which do not allow non-Muslims to embrace Islam. Therefore, it is essential to remove these problems and establish our society on Islamic foundations and aware people about Islamic teachings. In addition to this, the government should also announce special incentives for the new-Muslims because the credit for increasing the number of followers of Islam day by day goes to them.

THE METHODOLOGY OF ISLAMIZATION OF KNOWLEDGE: A CONCEPTUAL STUDY

Islamization of knowledge (IOK) merges ethical principles of Islam with the finest contemporary intelligence to reach a new ijma (consensus) pertinent to divine pieces of knowledge, sciences and scientific methods that are compatible with Islamic teachings, ethics and values. Islamizing knowledge and thought are crucial to attaining the objective of Islam in human existence regardless of their religious or geographical identities. It, therefore, is fit to be incorporated in most pure sciences. The process of IOK often in its commencement emphasizes the style and method above its substance to circulate its essence through an appropriate structure. It values the higher objective, Islamic teachings and ethics in its process, which are Islam's foundation in socio-political and epistemological paradigms. There is an actual obscure for any embryonic paradigm to pattern a dynamic methodology, and IOK is not unconventional from that obscure. Although IOK characteristically upholds its strength in terms of its methodological features of direct and indirect divine scriptures, which remarkably minimize the obstacles in its journey, yet, there is a pressing need for the investigation of current methodology and adoption of newly devised methodologies based on the sources of knowledge and whose proposal is to be the aim of the study. A descriptive approach of the qualitative method will be followed to achieve the study's objective.

METHOD (MANHAJ) OF PROSELYTIZING OF THE PROPHET IN THE PHASE OF MAKKAH AND MEDINA

Thirteen years of proselytizing in Makkah and ten years in Medina were periods of the struggle of the Prophet Muhammad to lay the foundations of Islam on the face of the earth. The Prophet had gone through all forms of conditions and challenges of proselytizing, even having to deal with close relatives who opposed Islamic proselytizing. This condition further strengthened and strengthened the principle of the Prophet's proselytizing struggle in the early days of seeding the beauty of Islam in all corners of Arabia. Despite strong resistance from his people, the Prophet remained steadfast and was able to cultivate proselytizing wisely. The portrait of the Prophet's proselytizing is the perfection of the manhaj of proselytizing, so the pattern of the Prophet in proselytizing must be the main qibla for a da'i in regulating the pattern of his proselytizing in society, of course, by adjusting to the conditions of today's times. Manhaj dakwah Nabi became an important and mandatory reference for every da'i, to know how muslims should behave when facing proselytizing land in society.

KNOWLEDGE OF WISDOM AND ACUMEN AND THEIR SOCIAL EFFECTS IN THE LIGHT OF ISLAMIC TEACHINGS (An Analytical Study)

Knowledge of wisdom and understanding is the foundation of Islam and the spirit of perfect worship. Similarly, knowledge of Qur’an is rudimentary to acquire the nearness of Allah (SWT); because the purpose of the creation of the universe is to identify and recognize Allah. In the present most advanced scientific era, many Muslim communities are surrounded by ‘Atheism Wave’ and think that the existence of the World is a coincidence. We should contest such thinking. It is only possible when our belief and Iman are strong enough and is full of love and fear of Allah (God). And they should be thankful for His universal blessings and deserve to ask for His mercy. Only then can society be reformed when we make ourselves accountable and review our defects and doings. This is the only solution of the present time and finds a way to exit. Allah SWT’s love and fear of being answerable are desired to be taught in one’s mind, heart and actions. The useful knowledge from Qur’an regarding Allah being great, generous, unselfish, and gracious can benefit us. This creates an effect of broad mindedness, courage, and bravery in society. In brief, submission to Allah Almighty with total dedication, love, and obedience can result in the recognition of Allah. A man contemplates all the creations of Allah and acquires the knowledge of recognizing the skills of their Maker. Society can only be reformed if it takes stock of itself; only then can it have a positive effect, and this is the thought-provoking problem of the day in Muslim communities worldwide.

Iğtihād of the Jordanian Šarīʿa Judiciary in the Interpretation of Legal Terms An Applied Study

Abstract This article studies a collection of legal terms and their interpretation by Jordanian courts in matters related to the Šarīʿa. It outlines the method through which the meaning of terms is determined by returning to Islamic foundations of jurisprudence (uṣūl al-fiqh), a source specified by Jordanian law which can be used to define legal terms as well as the context, scope, and application of legal texts. The article examines a set of judicial interpretations (iğtihād) of terms which have carried different points of view in both courts of first instance and appeals. The methodology of the study combines between theoretical discussions derived from Islamic foundations of jurisprudence (uṣūl al-fiqh) and the application of interpretive principles through a focus on determining the purpose of the legislator. The article highlights the role of the contemporary Muslim judiciary in developing personal status law through the interpretation of terms that carry multiple meanings and explores the essential principles relied upon in this process, establishing a path for future legal reform.

Muslim Communities Learning About Second-hand Smoke in Bangladesh (MCLASS II): a combined evidence and theory-based plus partnership intervention development approach

IntroductionDeaths from second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure are increasing, but there is not sufficient evidence to recommend a particular SHS intervention or intervention development approach. Despite the available guidance on intervention reporting, and on the role and nature of pilot and feasibility studies, partial reporting of SHS interventions is common. The decision-making whilst developing such interventions is often under-reported. This paper describes the processes and decisions employed during transitioning from the aim of adapting an existing mosque-based intervention focused on public health messages, to the development of the content of novel community-based Smoke-Free Home (SFH) intervention. The intervention aims to promote smoke-free homes to reduce non-smokers’ exposure to SHS in the home via faith-based messages.MethodsThe development of the SFH intervention had four sequential phases: in-depth interviews with adults in households in Dhaka, identification of an intervention programme theory and content with Islamic scholars from the Bangladesh Islamic Foundation (BIF), user testing of candidate intervention content with adults, and iterative intervention development workshops with Imams and khatibs who trained at the BIF.ResultsIt was judged inappropriately to take an intervention adaptation approach. Following the identification of an intervention programme theory and collaborating with stakeholders in an iterative and collaborative process to identify barriers, six potentially modifiable constructs were identified. These were targeted with a series of behaviour change techniques operationalised as Quranic verses with associated health messages to be used as the basis for Khutbahs. Following iterative user testing, acceptable intervention content was generated.ConclusionThe potential of this community-based intervention to reduce SHS exposure at home and improve lung health among non-smokers in Bangladesh is the result of an iterative and collaborative process. It is the result of the integration of behaviour change evidence and theory and community stakeholder contributions to the production of the intervention content. This novel combination of intervention development frameworks demonstrates a flexible approach that could provide insights for intervention development in related contexts.

Bank Air Susu Ibu dalam Perspektif Hukum Islam

Breast milk is the most perfect nourishment that is clean and contains lots of nutrients for babies because the processing is carried out naturally in the mother's body. When a mother is unable to breastfeed for various reasons, breast milk can be obtained from breast milk donors. This fact prompted European scientists to come up with the idea of establishing a breast milk bank which aims to help mothers who cannot breastfeed their babies directly. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the breast milk bank in the perspective of Islamic law and Islamic foundations that allow breast milk bank. This study uses the theory of legal certainty and the theory of benefits. The research method in this study uses a juridical approach. The results of this study conclude that first, the basis for the permissibility of breast milk bank is the opinion of Al-Imam asy-Syafi'i who asserted that, "Breastfeeding is not unlawful except for five separate feedings." This means that the source of breastfeeding that leads to breastfed siblings is the baby suckling directly to the mother's or donor's breast, while the milk obtained from the breast milk bank is obtained from several different mothers or even mixed and breastfeeding is given to the baby using a special spoon, bottle or tube. The breast milk bank aims to make it easier for babies to get breast milk whose mothers cannot give breast milk to their babies for certain reasons, especially for babies who are born prematurely because premature babies are required to be given breast milk instead of formula milk. Second, breastfeeding is very important for babies because it contains nutrients that are needed for optimal growth and development, for the health and survival of babies. Yusuf Al-Qardhawi stated that he did not find any reason to prohibit the establishment of a breast milk bank as long as it aims to realize solid syar'iyah benefits and to meet the needs that must be met, then it is permissible to establish a breast milk bank.

SOVYET SONRASI DÖNEMDE TÜRKİSTAN’DA RADİKAL DİNİ HAREKETLER VE FAALİYETLER: HIZB’UT TAHRIR ÖRNEĞİ

As an organization that bases its jihad policy on communique, not violence, and aims to establish a global caliphate, Hizb ut Tahrir operates in more than 40 countries around the world and is closely interested in the geography of Turkestan. Its penetration into the region was after the second half of the 1990s, and it first emerged in Uzbekistan, its center in Turkestan, and expanded its activities to other republics in an environment where Islamic foundations were weakened. Within the framework of what has been conveyed, the organization's structuring in Turkestan is an issue that needs to be examined. Although there are relatively sufficient studies on Hizb'ut Tahrir in the Turkish literature, there is no summative study focusing on the organization's activities in Turkestan. In this context, the aim of the article is to examine Hizb'ut Tahrir first and then to convey the activities of the organization in Turkestan by making use of the sources cited by the organization and original studies in the Turkish-English literature. For this purpose, it is hoped to make a modest contribution to the Turkish literature.
