Разум, язык, культура: как сегодня прочитывать концепцию «арабского разума» ал-Джа̄бири

In his four-volume Critique of Arab Reason the late Moroccan philosopher Muḥammad ‘Ābid al-Jābirī (1935–2010) argues that human history witnessed “Greco-European” and “Arab” variants of reason, and not the single one. He challenges the confidence of philosophers in the universality of reason which disclosed itself in the course of European history. Reading al-Jābirī’s theory in Kantian optics will prove fruitful in view of significant number of observations accumulated in Arabic philosophical studies and directly related to the question of the type of rationality that grounds Arab-Muslim culture. The Arabic linguistic tradition bases itself not on the being of substance but on the flux of action. The indivisible segment of the Arabic speech is the flow of sound between the two “sides” (ḥ arf, pl. ḥ urūf). The copulative function ensures the gluing of the subject and predicate into a single statement due to the action of “leaning” (isnād) between them, which excludes the use of the “to be”-like copula and removes “being” from the list of the fundamental metaphysical categories. All Arabic words, with few exceptions, are “branches” growing from “roots” represented by names of actions. The “root – branches” (’aṣl – furū‘) model, developed by the representatives of the Arabic linguistic tradition and Islamic jurists, explains the diversity of Islamic culture which allows for direct contradictions, legitimizing them by tracing down to a single “root”, which contrasts with the law of contradiction fundamental to European rationality. Islamic ethics is concerned not with the moral perfection of a single substantial individual, but with maintaining a network of interactions between human being and God and between members of society, constituting society not as a hierarchy of strata and classes, but as multiple networks of interactions. The concept of the “Arab reason” by al-Jābirī, read in Kantian optics on the basis of the achievements of philosophical Arabic studies, allows to substantiate the hypothesis of the plurality of types of rationality developed through the history of humankind.

Consumption Ethics for Wild Animals: An Islamic Practice

Religion, particularly Islam, plays an important role in lifestyle as well as in shaping cultural beliefs, including the teachings on consumption ethics. This ethics is based on the Sharīʿah—which is derived from the Qurʾān and the Sunnah by Muslim jurists—and is aimed at avoiding plagues and ensuring health security. Accordingly, this article discusses some lessons on Islamic ethics regarding the consumption and hunting of wild animals for food. A scholar of Islamic jurisprudence, Shaykh Muḥammad Arshad al-Banjārī (1710–1812), authored a work on fiqh entitled Sabīl al-Muhtadīn li al-Tafaqquh fī Amr al-Dīn (The Way of the Rightly Guided People in Mastering the Commandment of Religion) which has successfully managed to enjoin people to protect many species of wildlife in the Malay World, particularly, and in the larger region of South East Asia generally. A list of around 627 species from four major animal orders in Indonesia are listed as the following: primates, carnivores, reptiles, and amphibians—all of which are prohibited from being consumed and hunted by Muslims. They include important varieties of species the populations of which are decreasing, for example: numerous species of monkeys, bats, pangolins, tigers, and many more which are mentioned in al-Banjārī’s work. The work, thus, has helped conserve the said species of wild animals that are still present predominantly in the areas where the Muslim populations reside. If this consumption ethics can be shared with the rest of the world, it could contribute to the conservation of nature.

Peranan Pemerintah Islam dalam Sistem Negara Moden untuk Menerapkan Nilai Moral Islam: Daripada Penguat Kuasa ke Pemudah Cara

The implementation of Sharīʿah (taṭbīq al-Sharīʿah) by the Islamic government has been a longstanding principle in Islam, where the separation between state and religion, as observed in the West, is absent. However, the extent of the Islamic government’s involvement in enforcing moral standards in the modern state system remains a complex question. The advent of modernity, originating in the West, ushered in a bureaucratic concentration of state power, thereby transforming the process of implementation of morality, relegating them from the concerns of the state. The question thus has arisen whether Islam followed a similar trajectory. Therefore, this article aims to analyse the role of the Islamic government in the modern state era in implementing Islamic morality. This is achieved by unravelling the fundamental elements in the modern state system that have influenced the polemic on the legal enforcement of morality in the modern West, followed by a detailed comparative analysis with the jurisprudence of the Sharīʿah. This study reveals that as the primacy of morality prevails in Islamic law, the Islamic government in the modern state era continues to play a primary role in implementing and enforcing Islamic moral values. Notwithstanding, an approach that highlights a more appropriate role for the Islamic government as a facilitator in implementing Islamic morality, rather than merely as an enforcer, is very much needed.

PENGARUH ISLAM DALAM KESENIAN DAN KEBUDAYAAN DI PULAU JAWA

This study investigates the influence of Islam on the arts and culture of Java, one of the regions with the richest cultural heritage in Indonesia. Islam spread to Java in the 13th century through trade routes and the preaching of the Songo saints. Santo Songo played an important role in integrating Islamic teachings into the life of Javanese society. The influence of Islam on Javanese art and culture can be seen in various forms, including fine arts, music, dance, theater and traditional rituals. In the field of art, Islamic influence can be seen in batik motifs that combine Islamic symbols with local aesthetics, as well as in carvings that decorate buildings and cultural assets. Gamelan music and shadow puppet art also show adaptation to Islamic values, and the stories are based on Islamic teachings and ethics. Traditional dances, such as Sufi dance, reflect spiritual practices embedded in Javanese traditions. In the cultural field, Islam has influenced traditional rituals and religious ceremonies, and many Hindu and Buddhist traditions have been adapted to Islamic values, creating new, harmonious forms. The Javanese philosophy of life, known as the Javanese concept, combines Islamic spirituality and local wisdom, giving birth to a unique syncretism. The study concluded that the influence of Islam not only enriched Javanese art and culture, but also helped shape a dynamic and tolerant cultural identity that continues to develop and adapt today.
