Reflections of Horror on Islamic Invasions in Medieval India

Pre-Islamic India had a great tradition in creating magnificent and sensual sculptures, and building wondrous architectures. After the coming of Muslim invaders, Indian builders and craftsmen mixed Islamic ideas to their own, creating a new Indo-Islamic mosaic in the new building and architecture, which became integrated into the “heritage” of the self-declared Islamic civilization. Apart from India’s intellectual and scientific achievements, Said alAndalusi noted: ‘The Indians, as known to all nations for many centuries, are the metal (essence) of wisdom, the source of fairness and objectivity. They are peoples of sublime pensiveness, universal apologue…1’ Indeed, India was not only a distinguished civilization in its achievements in science, literature, philosophy, arts, and architecture but also had distinguished itself from the invading Muslims in terms of its humanity, chivalry and ethical behavior. Prior to Islamic invasions, Hindu kings and princes of India used to engage in wars, like in any major civilization of the time, but such wars were relatively infrequent. Affirming this, Muslim traveler Merchant Sulaiman writes in his Salsilatut Tawarikh : ‘The Indians sometimes go to war for conquest, but the occasions are rare.2’ Ibn Battutah, while traveling with Sultan Muhammad Tughlaq’s diplomatic convoy to the Chinese emperor, was surprised to observe that the Hindu rulers of Malabar showed great respect for each other’s territory and exercised restraint against warfare. In Malabar, he wrote, ‘there are twelve infidel sultans, some of them strong with armies numbering fifty thousand men, and others weak with armies of three thousand. Yet there is no discord whatever between them and the strong does not desire to seize the possessions of the weak.’ Muslim invaders had unfurled continuous warfare in India (and everywhere else) not only against the Hindus but amongst themselves; there were ceaseless revolts by Muslim generals, chiefs and princes all over India during their entire period of Islamic rule. Battutah’s astonishment is then quite understandable. Sulaiman adds that the Indian kings even did not maintain troops in regular pays. They used to be paid only when they were called in for fighting. Once the war is over, ‘They then come out (to civilian life), and maintain themselves without receiving anything from the king.3’ It is evident from the discussion so far that the Islamic invaders of India brought a totally different code of war, based on the Quran and the Sunnah. Contemporary Muslim historians inform us that, as a general rule, they used to slay all enemy soldiers on the battlefield. After the victory, they often fell upon the civilian villages and towns often slaughtering the men of fighting age. They sacked and plundered the households for booty, and sometimes burned down the villages and towns. Of the civilian population, the Buddhist monks and priestly Brahmins, in whom the common people reposed their trust, became special targets for extermination. The centers of infidel religion and learning—namely Hindu and Jain temples, Buddhist monasteries, Sikh Gurdwaras and indigenous educational institutions—were their prime targets for desecration, destruction and plunder. The women and children were captured as slaves in large numbers.

Mehmet Akif Ersoy's Views on Some Issues of Islamic Family Law

Mehmet Akif Ersoy defends the necessity of a society based on Islamic principles. He also dealt with social issues through his poems. In his poetry corpus called Safahat, he gave place to the wars, corruption, economic troubles, disagreements, and social changes experienced by Turkish society. Mehmet Akif draws attention to the excess and negative aspects of these great changes in society. He stated that the reason for the situations that cause enchantment in the society is the departure from the rules and rules of Islam. He states that the solution is only to live the religious provisions correctly. According to Akif, there is a need for good fiqh scholars who explain religion correctly to people in order to achieve this situation. The understanding of religion in the society; It should be corrected by filtering the mind based on the Qur'an, Sunnah, and consensus. Likewise, people's inadequate and wrong knowledge in the field of fiqh brings corruption into many issues in society. Undoubtedly, the concept of family is among those most affected by the bad consequences of being away from religion. According to Mehmet Akif, societies that do not have a proper family life are doomed to fall behind. The problems in family life that Mehmet Akif faced and criticized during his lifetime still remain valid today. For this reason, in our study, the social problems of family life witnessed and criticized by Mehmet Akif were evaluated in terms of Islamic law. Thus, it is desired to clearly reveal the corruption in family life caused by moving away from the rules of Islamic law. Due to the fact that they are within the scope of the subject, the poetic stories conveyed in the poems of Köse İmam, Meyhane, and Asım are emphasized. In the plots of the poems, we come across the subjects of dowry, alimony, polygamy, relationship between spouses, property regime, and divorce. Mehmet Akif's comments about the case studies in the work are included. Afterwards, a statement was made on the relevant subject, and the misunderstood/applied situations were explained according to Islamic law. As a result of the study, we see the damage to family life of the deactivation or misinterpretation of the provisions of religion. According to Mehmet Akif, issues such as giving women the value they deserve in family life, removing polygamy from being an arbitrary practice, correcting misconceptions about divorce, obtaining and protecting women's financial rights during the marriage process are only possible with the correct understanding of Islamic legal principles. Because, from a society where women are not even considered human beings, girls are buried alive, and there is uncertainty in family life, a society of the century of bliss has been reached only with Islam. For this reason, women, children, and family life suffer the most in societies where religion/fiqh is put into the background. Raising the generation that will carry a nation forward is only possible by removing the wrong information about the family and correcting the problems.

Achieving SMEs’ excellence: scale development of Islamic entrepreneurship from business and spiritual perspectives

PurposeThis paper investigates the effect of Islamic entrepreneurship on small and medium-sized enterprises' (SMEs) business performance and the development of a framework to comprehensively investigate Islamic entrepreneurship to achieve competitive business advantages. Islamic entrepreneurship was measured through the Islamic entrepreneurial model, which is based on two unobserved constructs: business and spiritual perspectives. These two constructs were used as predictors of business performance. This paper aims to develop a new scale of Islamic entrepreneurship from business and spiritual perspectives to achieve SMEs’ successful business performance.Design/methodology/approachIn total, 189 Muslim respondents were involved and analyzed their responses using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory composite analysis.FindingsThe empirical findings proved that the Islamic entrepreneurial scale with two perspectives is an absolute measure. Besides, the predictive validity findings revealed that business (i.e. trustworthiness, honesty and truthfulness) and spiritual perspectives of Islamic entrepreneurship (i.e. Taqwa, good intention and respecting religious obligations) positively affected SMEs’ business performance.Originality/valueThe novelty of this study lies in expanding the existing research, developing a measurement scale and empirically testing the Islamic entrepreneurship model. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that contributes to the Islamic entrepreneurship literature in the SME context and offers new avenues for potential researchers. The new scale will allow SMEs to understand the halal and haram concepts in more depth and apply the Islamic rules and principles with full spirit.

Solving Pregnancy Out-of-Wedlock: ‘Dual Validity’ of Ngampang Marriage among Dayak Muslim Community in Sintang, Indonesia

According to most scholars of Islamic jurisprudence (jumhūr ʿulamā), marriage due to pregnancy (ngampang) is permissible as long as it is conducted under fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) rules. Its validity is not contingent upon the situation/locus ‘in front of the state official’. It means that there is no significance in remarrying before the state official if an Islamic marriage has previously been performed beyond the walls of the state building. In reality, however, the community—in this context, the Muslim community of Sintang—often remarries before a marriage registrar to achieve state recognition in the case of marriage due to pregnancy. This article portrays how the Sintang Muslim community legalizes marriage status due to pregnancy. Data were collected through interviews. This article argues that in order to obtain state recognition of their marriage due to pregnancy, the Muslim community of Sintang often performs twofold marriage ceremonies. The first is according to customary standards (in line with the Statute of the Sintang Kingdom) and following Islamic rules. The second is according to national procedure (in front of a state official), which applies the same Islamic terms. It indicates that, in terms of resolving the issue of pregnancy out-of-wedlock, the Sintang Muslim community has to go through two standards that are not substantively contradictory to each other. Both standards actually rest on the same principles in Islamic law.

Diversification of the Islamic stock market, Bitcoin, and Bullions in response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the COVID-19 outbreak

This study investigates the interconnectedness of the Islamic stock market, Bullion, and Bitcoin as diversifiers for portfolios, exploring their role as hedges and safe havens. The analysis covers the period from January 2015 to December 2022, with a particular focus on the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine War on the MSCI World Islamic Index, bullions (Gold, Silver, Platinum, Nickel, Palladium, and Aluminium), and Bitcoin, employing a time-varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) model. During crisis periods, our findings reveal that the transmission and reception of shocks among these assets varied, with a heightened level of co-movement observed during the pandemic and war periods. These results emphasise the importance of considering the dynamic nature of financial assets' connectedness in asset investment decisions, particularly in times of crisis. Furthermore, the findings suggest that Bullion can serve as a hedge for both Bitcoin and the Islamic stock market. The study also explores the optimal diversification of investment portfolios and highlights the importance of adhering to Islamic principles in portfolio diversification. By integrating Islamic rules into the diversification process, investors can enhance the effectiveness and relevance of their investment strategies.

“The Abomination of Desolation”: Eastern Christian Apocalyptic Literature and the Symbolic Construction of Islam

This article focuses on the Christian apocalyptic literature that was produced as a specific reaction to the emergence of Islam and the consolidation of the Islamic rule in the Eastern provinces of Byzantium. The discussion examines how these texts re-cycled, used and manipulated long established cultural stereotypes, biblical exegetical topoi and traditional apocalyptic motifs in order to construct an image of the Muslims as the symbolic “Other”.

PENDAMPINGAN MEMPEROLEH SERTIFIKAT HALAL

With the end of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is hoped that the MSME sector will recover. Halal products are very important in today's society. Simultaneously, the Indonesian Ministry of Religion's Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH) issued a regulation that all MSME products must be halal-certified by 2024. Halal certification is very important to ensure consumers feel safe and that what they buy does not violate Islamic rules.
 Knowledge and understanding of SMEs regarding halal certification and business registration numbers (NIB) are still relatively minimal, as indicated by the low number of SMEs with halal certification. In order to increase the number of MSME businesses, this service activity aimed at 60 MSMEs around the University of Lampung area aims to facilitate direct socialization and halal certification of MSMEs. The current halal certification authorization process uses an online system which is preceded by an understanding of halal and socialization of NIB, making it easier and helping SMEs in obtaining halal certification. From this activity, it is hoped that SMEs in Lampung Province can grow better and faster. This service activity is in collaboration with the Halal Center for Muslim Scholars of the Ministry of Religion and the women's organization Women's Empowerment of UMKM (PPUMI) Lampung.

Demokratisasi Negara Sudan Pasca Berakhirnya Pemerintahan Islam

This article discusses the political conditions, and the process of democratization in Sudan after the end of Islamic rule. As a predominantly Muslim country, Sudan has long had an Islamic government and sharia-based laws. However, after President Omar Bashir stepped down, in 2020 the Sudanese transitional government decided to end the system of government under Islamic law and promised freedom or democracy for the people of Sudan. This is then interesting to discuss and this article aims to find out the condition of Sudan after the end of Islamic rule, and to analyze whether the process of democratization by the transitional government of Sudan was successful. The author uses a descriptive method, with a democracy and democratization approach. Data is collected through Google Scholar, the Freedom House Website, and several other sources. then the data is analyzed by comparing the index of freedom in the State of Sudan in 2022 with 2019 after the revolution or the end of the authoritarian government of President Omar Bashir. The author finds that the process of democratization in Sudan after the end of the Islamic government or Bashir's authoritarian government has not been successful. Sudan has indeed experienced several democratization processes, but democracy in Sudan has not yet been consolidated. This is due to a number of reasons, such as the coup d'etat and the domination of the Sudanese military, the transitional government that is not transparent, people's rights that have not been fulfilled, and there is still a very severe economic crisis.

Islamic Education in the New Order Period, Syekh Ali Hasan Ahmad Addary Padangsidimpuan State Islamic University

Islamic education is a process of guidance to humans that includes the physical and spiritual based on religious (Islamic) teachings and dogmas in order to form the main personality according to Islamic rules in his life so that one day he will obtain happiness in the hereafter. During the New Order era, education was not the main goal. The New Order chose economic improvement and development as its main goal and pursued its policies through an administrative structure dominated by the military. This type of research uses the method of literature by using the theory of Islamic Theory of the New Order Period. It can be concluded that Islamic education in Indonesia in the New Order era experienced improvements and changes in a better direction compared to the colonial era and the early era of independence and the old order.

Transforming Religious and Monarchial Power

The political landscape of the emergent medieval Georgian nation among the predominant Islamic emirates is a relatively new field for western scholars. The Medieval Georgian polity, led by King Davit IV (Aghmshenebeli), rose to power in the late 11th and early 12th centuries CE. As the crowning jewel of a new architectural scheme, King Davit IV constructed the Gelati Monastery as a symbol of political, social, and religious power in medieval Georgia. King Davit IV’s son, King Demet’re I, finished the monastery in the 12th century and added to its construction with one fundamental piece, the iron gates of Ganja. The gates, taken by King Demetrius I from the Islamic city of Ganja in 1139 CE as a spoil of war, were placed next to the grave of King Davit IV Aghmshenebeli. My paper investigates the symbolic importance of the gates from Ganja in its original context for the local Ganjans and what it later meant to the Georgians. I also address the types of peoples involved with the transformation of the gate’s power as it moved locations. These gates have an Arabic inscription on them that indicates the original purpose of the gates for the Islamic ruler of Ganja. A translation of the Arabic script on the gates is also given in my paper. Finally, I demonstrate how the meanings of the gates of Ganja changed as King Demet’re I moved them from Ganja to their final destination within the Gelati complex and how those meanings related to the political landscape that the Medieval Georgian Kingdom sought to create.

The Role of the Mind in Deducing Islamic Legal Rulings from Prophetic Hadith: Al-Awza'i as a Model

This abstract aims to highlight the role of reason in deriving legal rulings by Islamic scholars from the two sources of revelation - the Quran and the Sunnah. This is achieved through the process of ijtihad, which relies on the use of reason to understand universal truths and establish civilizations of nations. The research explores the methods used by scholars in uncovering their approaches and perspectives. Reason is considered a requirement for those who are accountable, as it is the basis for the development of a nation's civilization. It distinguishes between truth and falsehood, benefits and harms, and interests and drawbacks. It commands and holds the accountable person responsible. Therefore, it is essential for humanity to preserve reason from anything that deviates it from sound nature. Reason is among the honors bestowed upon humans by God, as mentioned in the Quran: "And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference." [Quran 17:70]. Furthermore, to give the research its due significance, it is necessary to discuss the meaning of derivation and its relationship with reason, and to provide examples of Ibn Arabi's methodology in his explanation of the traditions of Imam al-Tirmidhi. This is evident in the use of reason in the process of ijtihad and deriving legal rulings from the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). 1- Research Problem: The research problem can be summarized in the following main question: The manifestations of reason in Ibn Arabi al-Maafiri's methodology in deriving legal rulings from Prophetic traditions. 2- Research Objectives: The research aims to achieve the following: a) Analyzing Ibn Arabi's methodology in his explanation of Prophetic traditions through his book "Aridat al-Ahwadhi." b) Drawing recommendations that can help researchers understand Ibn Arabi as a jurist and scholar of Hadith. 3- Research Significance: The significance of the research lies in highlighting the strength of Ibn Arabi's use of reason in the process of deriving legal rulings.

KONSEPSI HARTA BENDA DALAM PERKAWINAN

Overcoming property related to marriage is a discussion that has always been interesting from time to time. The concept of joint property, inherited property or what is often referred to as gono-gono-equity property is a phenomenon that seems to have no end. Islamic law is here to provide a universal concept to be implemented in the concept of property in books. This research is a normative legal research based on literature review by reviewing the literature that discusses the concept of property in marriage. The results of this study indicate that Gono gini in Islam actually does not exist. However, with the existing phenomena, Islam is still able to answer the law of joint property or what we know as gonogyny. Islam still allows the existence of joint property. In fact, Islam allows ta'lik before marriage to facilitate the distribution of joint assets if separation occurs later. Wealth must be utilized as best as possible while still paying attention to Islamic rules. In disputes, assets are used to meet family needs for the benefit of all family members. If the assets are more then our reward is donating or donating to third parties

A Scientific Analysis of the Islamic Rules on the Uncleanliness of Dogs from the Perspective of Medical Parasitology

Introduction: A dog is an animal that is usually kept as a pet and is often allowed to live indoors. However, the issue of the uncleanliness of dogs is an important matter of jurisprudence, and it is necessary to understand the ruling on their uncleanliness. Some people argue that considering dogs unclean is against their rights. The respectful treatment of such issues, especially for those who are not qualified to comment on religious issues, has raised doubts and uncertainties about the nature of certain religious tenets. On the other hand, the hadiths (traditions) of the infallibles clearly mention the uncleanliness of dogs. In the field of medical parasitology, dogs play an important role in the transmission of parasitic diseases such as hydatid cysts and toxocara. Method: This descriptive-analytical study aims to investigate the views of religious jurists on the uncleanliness of dogs and the effects of dogs on human health from a medical -parasitological and Islamic perspective. Results: According to the sciences of medical parasitology and Islam, the dog has a great impact on the pathogenesis of human diseases mediated by contact with the feces and urine of this animal. Conclusion: In accordance with religious traditions about dogs, their impurity is indisputable. Many parasitic diseases in humans, such as hydatid cysts, toxocara, etc., can be transmitted to humans through the feces of dogs. Therefore, the uncleanliness of dogs is also important in terms of health and Islamic rules.

Pengembangan Ekonomi Syariah Melalui Lembaga Keuangan Berdasarkan Pandangan Prof. Imam Suprayogo

Sharia economics is an economic system that refers to Islamic teachings and rules that refer to the Koran and Hadith. The point of view taken from this economic perspective refers to countries where the majority of the population is Muslim, whose development can then lead to progress in the development of Islamic society at the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Prof. Imam Suprayogo has a well-known concept of thought, namely the concept of education based on the Qur'an, with the view of Tarbiyah Ulul Albab. The implementation is a combination of the form of Islamic boarding schools and tertiary institutions which are known to be Islamic education based on dhikr. Described with a metaphor as a tree of knowledge that is solid because it is supported by strong roots and rods. So according to this view, tree trunks are described as knowledge whose sources are from the Qur'an and also Hadith. As for strong roots, it is described as the ability to speak language which then leads to this view as the basis for studying deeper knowledge and foundations in international relations.

Thoughts of Shaykh Adam Abdullahi Al-Ilorī (1917-1992) on Islam and Cultural Practices among Yoruba Muslims in Nigeria

The practice of Islam in Yorubaland has posed serious challenges to many Muslims who find navigating between Islamic rules and Yoruba customary practices difficult. It has led many to Shirk (polytheism), Bidcah (heretical innovation), and Takhlīṭ (syncretism) among others with perilous effects in Islam. Unfortunately, many Muslims are unaware of these but adopted a free attitude to Islam. Shaykh Adam is one of the foremost scholars whose views are sought and relied upon by either Yoruba Muslims in their practice of Islam or by researchers who intend an assessment of the practice of Islam in Yorubaland, thus the crux of this paper is to examine his views on selected areas that are paramount to caqīdah (creed) and the general practice of Islam. Historical and exegetical methods are adopted in achieving the objectives of this paper. The former enabled the paper to assess historical facts that are related to the personality that the paper focused on, while the exegetical allowed the interpretation of relevant texts to the discourse of the paper. It is discovered that the interaction between Islam and culture in Yorubaland has necessitated both fine-tuning and abandonment of some customs. Social events like the naming ceremony, Islamic titles, and burial among others are fine-tuned, while magic, Ifa divination, bending or kneeling while greeting and a host of others are condemned and to be abandoned. The paper, therefore, concluded that Shaykh Adam remains a prominent personality whose views are driven by scholarship to liberate Muslims from the shackle of ignorance and perdition.

Reform of Retakaful Industry

One of the fundamentals in the risk management system for a takaful company is that it needs to cede its risks to the second level of risk carriers (retakaful companies). At the same time, being a sharī‘ah-compliant company, the expectation is that its operational chain is in line with Islamic rules and principles. However, due to limitations on the maturity of the retakaful market, sharī‘ah scholars have used the precept of necessity (ḍarūrah) in the use of conventional reinsurance. The permissibility of using conventional reinsurance has been adopted for decades, going back to the establishment of takaful. However, this practice has, to a certain extent, weakened the perception of the sharī‘ah compliance aspect of takaful. This article aims to enhance the arrangement of the takaful industry practices in relation to the fatwā on the permissibly of using conventional reinsurance based on the precept of ḍarūrah. It has employed a qualitative method, in the form of semi-structured interviews, to explore the views of six sharī‘ah scholars on whether the concept of ḍarūrah is still applicable. It is found that the majority of scholars, i.e., five, were not provided information or analysis that could have facilitated them in assessing and making the informed decision on the applicability of the precept of ḍarūrah in the use of conventional reinsurance. There is a consensus among the scholars on the given proposals to enhance the current practices of the market and boost the retakaful market. This study introduces new perspectives pertinent to review the retakaful industry’s legitimacy.

Construction of Reality and Segregative Content of Islamic Media

Islamic media still faces obstacles in becoming the host for hundreds of millions of Indonesian Muslims. The barriers faced are fundamental because they relate to media management techniques and the values embodied in the news. In practice, noble Islamic values will have difficulties when constructed in various events presented as information content. This difficulty continues in the transformation of media platforms that transform into online forms. As a result, the power of the media is still controlled by the popular press with liberal tendencies. To look further at the obstacles faced, this study aims to find out, first, the form of construction of the reality of Islamic media and, secondly, the packaging of Islamic media content that is presented so that Islamic press is challenging to become the primary reference in fulfilling the information needs of the ummah. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with qualitative content analysis techniques by analyzing several Islamic media. As a result, the construction form of Islamic media prioritizes internalization rather than externalization and objectification in making news. In contrast, the content produced in presenting the report is segregative because it only displays content containing Islamic rules and laws so that the messages conveyed by Islamic media are still specific and given minimally. The essential information that the audience wants to know immediately.
