The Image Debate: Investigating the Rationale Behind Aniconism in Islamic Arab Societies

Over the centuries, there has been plenty written and documented about Muslims’ attitudes towards the arts. Many scholars of Islam claim that the faith as a whole is opposed to the visual representation of living things, however, a look at representational art and images created in Muslim societies— past and present— tell a different story. A study of the Holy Qur’an will show that no prohibition exists in Islam that applies to all representational images. This article investigates the origins of how, why, and where ideas about prohibition developed, from a historical perspective, in order to explore what led some contemporary Muslim societies to develop, maintain, and create a generational succession of opposition to images in everyday life and within the visual arts. The sources included in the article will also shed light on how social, cultural, and political situations that contributed to aniconism and iconoclasm in some situations.

CRITICAL STUDY ON THE DA’WAH MOVEMENT OF THE MUSLIMAH OF HIZB UT-TAHRIR INDONESIA IN ESTABLISHING AN ISLAMIC SOCIETY IN INDONESIA

This research is a scientific paper arising from a thought of the big amount of women population along with their roles in building society and human civilization. However, empowerment of women, as the subject of da’wah, is still less, both in terms of the quality and the quantity. Hence, women as the da’wah object have not been properly managed. For that reason, the reseachers are interested in studying the activities of the da’wah movement of the Muslimah of Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia. The da’wah movement the Muslimah of Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia is chosen as the research object since building an Islamic society is related to their central issue of establishing an Islamic Caliphate. For analyzing such an issue, the researches determine the problem formulation, namely: how does the da’wah movement of the Muslimah of Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia realize an Islamic society? The method of the research is qualitative, namely by conducting observation along with interviews, library researches, and an analytic description method. The discussion result was obtained through a study of the da’wah movement of the Muslimah of Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia by utilizing da’wah approaches, both in terms of the manhaj, da’wah elements, and da’wah objectives, and then analyzing them. The result discloses that the da’wah movement of the Muslimah of Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia focuses on the da’wah of thoughts only. Therefore, those who have a vision of realizing an Islamic Caliphate and leading Indonesia will not be able to realize an Islamic society, or even to lead the country or to realize an Islamic Caliphate.

The Construction of Islamic State Law in the 5.0 Era from the Perspective of Maqasid al-Shariah

The discourse on Islamic constitutional law is consistently captivating and remains relevant for discussion. Islam, as a religion of mercy for all creation, takes the Quran and Hadith as its primary guidance without providing a specific qath’i (definite) pattern for formulating a state. Nonetheless, Islam has presented several general principles that can serve as the foundation and align with the objectives of Sharia in shaping a system of governance. This includes principles of justice (al-adalah), equality before the law (musawah), democratic consultation (as-syura), and the upholding of human rights and freedoms (al-hurriyah). This research aims to describe the principles of Islamic constitutional law while examining the characteristics of laws that can be implemented for Islamic societies as per the developments toward the era 5.0. Utilizing a qualitative research approach based on both digital and classical literature sources rooted in Islamic teachings (turats), this study formulates that the ideal Islamic constitutional law in the era 5.0, after adhering to its principles, should be dynamic, humanistic, and substantial. This assertion is substantiated by several laws that have been implemented, particularly in Indonesia, significantly contributing to the creation of harmony and tranquillity among its diverse population.

Negara Sebagai Mediator Tumbuh Kembangnya Ekonomi Berbasis Syariah: Perspektif Filsafat

Islamic economics is an economic system that is a minority used in the world compared to other economic systems. Islam is a comprehensive religion and governs all aspects of life including economics. Islamic economics aims to create economic schemes that refer to Islamic principles, such as social justice, balance, avoiding usury, and sustainable growth. The economic sources of sharia come from the Quran, as Sunnah or al Hadith, the history of Islamic society, and empirical data. The state has an important role in supporting and regulating Islamic economic practices through appropriate regulations and policies. The state and the Islamic economy have the same interest in creating social justice, economic stability, and public welfare. The relationship between religion and state also affects the development of a country's sharia economy. In Indonesia, the government has supported the implementation of the sharia economy through various regulations and policies such as the Sharia Banking Law. With the right support from the state, the Islamic economy is expected to develop faster and provide benefits to the community.

Variation as Christian Identity Marker in Egypt: A Sociolinguistic Study

This study explores how variation marks the religious identity of the Egyptian Christians and helps in describing the present sociolinguistic landscape in Egypt. Data for this study has been collected from Christian friends, students, and neighbors as well as Christian T.V. programs and videos. Data has shown significant lexical and phonological differences in expressing common religious concepts, ritual expressions, and names. These differences, which depend mainly on synonyms, paraphrasing, loanwords, and pronunciation, constitute a shibboleth in Egypt. The study has revealed that not only is variation regional or social, but religious as well. Moreover, the colloquial lexis and non-standard speech forms that Christians use contradict Ferguson’s claim that the highly codified variety of diglossic languages is always used in giving sermons. Although the variation is not that substantiative and does not impede understanding, the study has pointed out that there is a religious-based dialect differentiation in Egypt and the Egyptian Christians could be classified as bidialectal to some extent. The ultimate goal of this variation is to mark themselves as a different religious group in an Islamic society. The plethora of the Arabic lexis and expressions and the diglossic nature of Arabic enabled the Egyptian Christians to easily communicate with Muslims and simultaneously preserve their socioreligious identity.

From Avicenna to Salam: The Excommunication of Muslim Scholars in the Islamic World

In this study, I have attempted to explain why, in the scientific realm, the Islamic world, after an impressive shine, showed a decline. I hypothesize that this was the result of philosophical and theological views of theologians like Al-Ghazali and Ibn Taymiyyah as opposed to the scientific work of Islamic scholars. The atmosphere was not conducive for the pursuit of scientific and intellectual activities among Islamic Caliphates. The excommunication of scholars by superficial theologians, Sufism, and Salafists’ influences on authorities is the primary reason for the backward nature of the Islamic world. I also contend that the excommunication of Islamic scholars in Islamic societies still persists in the modern epoch. An example of this is the excommunication of Professor Abdus Salam in Pakistan.

Relevansi Prinsip-prinsip Hukum Ekonomi Syariah dalam Membangun Keadilan Sosial melalui Distribusi Ekonomi yang Adil

This study aims to investigate the relevance of the principles of Islamic economic law in shaping social justice through equitable economic distribution. In the midst of global economic change, reducing economic inequality and social injustice is very important. Islamic economic law, as a framework rooted in Islamic values, offers a unique view of economic distribution that focuses on the principle of justice. By conducting an in-depth literature review and analysis, this study explores the concept of Islamic economic law, the principles contained in it, and its relevance to the goal of achieving social justice. We identify the important role of zakat, infaq, and waqf in creating equitable distribution and fueling inclusive economic growth. The results of this study show that the principles of Islamic economic law have great potential to influence economic and social policies in Islamic societies, ultimately encouraging the creation of a more just and inclusive economic environment. However, we also identified some obstacles to the implementation of these principles. This research makes an important contribution to our understanding of how the principles of Islamic economic law can be applied in the current context to promote social justice as well as more equitable economic distribution. The policy recommendations that emerge from the results of this study can guide decision-makers in their efforts to achieve social justice in Islamic societies.

Exploring the Global Impact of Homosexuality: A Comprehensive Analysis from Islamic Perspective

No one can deny the fact that apart from food and drink, human beings also have sexual desires and the satisfaction of carnal desires is natural for human beings. Like the rest of the physical needs, the sexual pleasure has been regulated through the institution of marriage which is the basic unit of an Islamic society. There has always been illicit/unnatural means to fulfill this physical need such as homosexuality – an unnatural method that may lead to the spread of many diseases. Ironically it has been given a legal accreditation in many countries of Europe, America and in other parts of the world. The article reviews the social impact of homosexuality in any given society with the rise in the rate of crime and diseases in these countries.

Analysis of Syariahpreneurship Character Strengthening Strategy at Nahdlatul Ulum Soreang Islamic Boarding School (Pesantren) Maros DistrictAnalysis of Syariahpreneurship Character Strengthening Strategy at Nahdlatul Ulum Soreang Islamic Boarding School (

Islamic financial institutions in Indonesia have experienced very rapid development and progress in the last decade. This development has occurred in almost all Islamic financial institutions, such as Islamic banking, Islamic insurance, Islamic capital markets, Islamic mutual funds, Islamic bonds, Islamic pawnshops, and Baitul Mal wa Tamwil (BMT). This condition is certainly an opportunity and a challenge that all educational institutions must be able to capture and respond positively to, including educational institutions with Indonesian characteristics called pesantren. Strengthening the character of Syariahprenuership is an urgent strategy to get attention in a pesantren Islamic educational institution. With a very large population of pesantren in Indonesia, when the students get the strengthening of the Syariah-prenuership character, they will certainly be more prepared to be able to take part to contribute to the existing dynamics and religious feel. The role of this pesantren is also very large and important in preparing students to be able to exist in their daily lives both within the pesantren and later when interacting in the environment outside the pesantren after completion. The students who live in pesantren are always interacting, communicating, and in contact with all the internal pesantren communities. Automatically strengthening the character of syariahprenuership, which has been running and in process, of course, can be held captive with the naked eye. The strategy to strengthen the syariahprenuership character for students is certainly something that must be known, especially for the internal managers of Islamic boarding schools and society in general. Based on the reason that there is no scientifically concrete data regarding the analysis of strategies to strengthen the character of syariahprenuership in pesantren, this is what makes researchers interested in researching this phenomenon. The purpose of this study was to analyze strategies to strengthen the character of syariahpreneurship students at the Nahdlatul Ulum Soreang pesantren, Maros Regency. This research is a qualitative research using a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using categorization.

The Social Context Of Hadith History From The Perspective Of Hadith Sociology

This study aims to understand the role of social interaction in the history of hadith transmission and understanding in Islamic societies. This study is often called the sociology of hadith. The sociology of hadith involves the study of social relationships, social structures, and social dynamics that influence the collection, transmission, and interpretation of hadith. The research method used is a literature study approach by collecting and analyzing various relevant sources including books, articles, and related research. The research involved exploring the sociological aspects of the hadith tradition such as the social factors that influence the transmission of hadith, the role of social groups in the interpretation of hadith, and the social dynamics in the establishment of hadith authority. The results show that the sociology of hadith plays an important role in understanding the complex social relationships involved in the transmission and understanding of hadith. Factors such as social, cultural, political and economic contexts play a role in influencing the interpretation and reception of hadith by the people. In addition, social groups such as scholars, lay people and religious institutions also play a significant role in shaping the authority of the hadith and determining its influence in society. This study also reveals the importance of the sociological study of hadith in the context of social change and the development of modern society. Social change, globalization and the challenges of the times affect how hadith are understood, accepted and applied in daily life. Therefore, this study focused on how the sociology of hadith approach can provide valuable insights in facing these challenges. In conclusion, an understanding of the sociology of hadith is essential in understanding the social dynamics of the hadith tradition. This study contributes to broadening the academic horizon on the role of social interaction in the transmission and understanding of hadith as well as providing a more comprehensive understanding of the social complexities involved in the hadith tradition.

Assimilation and Transgression: Doing Trans* Activism in Indonesia and Iran

ABSTRACT This commentary engages with Jón Ingvar Kjaran and Zara Saeidzadeh’s research article, “Trans* Activism in Indonesia and Iran: Working Against Misrecognition and Enhancing the Intelligibility of Trans* Subjectivities.” The authors examine the conditions and form trans* activism takes in “doing” gender in Muslim-dominated societies of Indonesia and Iran. It is argued that trans* experience interacts with Islamic norms to persist in gaining intelligibility and recognition, challenging the existing medico-religious discourse in Islamic societies, as well as liberal humanist intellectual traditions of the West. Trans* activism in Indonesia and Iran, therefore, reveals a complex inquiry in locating hospitality at the borders where trans identity and Islam meet.

Mosque Management in Urban City: Bargaining between the Sacred and the Social Challenges

A mosque serves as a pivotal element in the structure of a Muslim community. The function of a mosque extends beyond its religious capacity as a place for worship, playing a vital role in addressing the social problems that the community faces. To explore this, the present study focuses on the strategy employed by Masjid Raya Bandung to manage and overcome various social problems around its vicinity. Utilising a descriptive-analytical approach, the present study aims to depict the existing social phenomena around Masjid Raya Bandung (The Grand Mosque of Bandung) in the Province of West Java, Indonesia, with specific research variables. Non-documentary data is obtained through participant observation and in-depth interviews. Located in the city's heart, across the city hall, a place of public gathering, the Grand Mosque of Bandung operates within a business and materialistic environment. The faced challenges include sanitation issues, unregulated street vendors tied to an informal economy, prevalent crime, covert prostitution in the vicinity, and escalating consumerism from nearby shopping centres. The study underscores the mosque as not only a spiritual oasis but also a socio-religious institution actively participating in providing solutions for various social issues within its urban setting. It is confirmed that the mosque's function is not only for ritual things but also for social activities in urban Islamic societies, particularly in managing and overcoming various social problems that surround the mosque.
