A Takhrīj Study of The Hadith Al-Thaqalayn in Sunan Al-Tirmidhī

Al-Thaqalayn, an Islamic term denoting the Quran and the Ahl al-Bayt, is a fundamental resource for comprehending Islamic teachings and teachings. Extensive research has been devoted to Hadiths that pertain to al-Thaqalayn within the Islamic tradition. This article presents an analysis of the Hadith of al-Thaqalayn, focusing on examining and validating the Sanad and Matan traditions associated with al-Thaqalayn to determine their authenticity and reliability. The takhrij technique entails scrutinizing the text of Hadith al-Thaqalayn by focusing on the passages that are infrequently employed. The findings indicate that the Sanad (chain of narrators) of the Hadith of al-Thaqalayn is classified as Dha'īf (weak) due to the presence of narrators who engage in tables (concealing the identity of their sources) and others who have been deemed unreliable. Upon examining the content of the Hadith, it becomes evident that Hadith al-Thaqalayn is in harmony with the Quran, does not conflict with the more authoritative Hadith, is based on rational thinking, and possesses a framework that accurately conveys the teachings of the Prophet.

Rethinking the Concept of Fiṭra

Little attention has been given to the role of innate human nature or fiṭra in the motivation behind human action. This article examines the views of contemporary Western thinkers to creatively rethink the concept of fiṭra, not only from a theological perspective but also a scientific perspective. Drawing upon Islamic scholarship and previous research on the subject that explore the wide spectrum of connotations couched in the Islamic term fiṭra in comparison with Western perspectives, this study offers a fresh look at, and approach to, the concept of human disposition or primordial nature, giving special attention to the biological, epistemological, and ethical dimensions, while most studies of fiṭra focus mainly on the theological and spiritual sides. It is hoped that this conceptual analysis will serve as a stepping stone towards a more nuanced understanding of fiṭra not only as (i) a natural tendency to act or think in a particular way, but also as (ii) the religious instinct, (iii) the power of the mind to think and understand in a logical way, and (iv) the inner voice or conscience of what is right and wrong in one’s conduct or motives that drives the individual towards right action.

Peran Dosen dalam Upaya Penguatan Nilai-Nilai Moderasi Beragama Melalui Konsep Islam Wasathiyah

Religion is a crucial matter that is often divided even though the Indonesian constitution guarantees religious freedom for all. In 2019, the Equal Institute mentioned 23.4% of Indonesian students, up to 10 prominent state colleges exposed to radicalism. Such a fact necessitates a specific strategy to counter the spread of the perception of radicalism. Strengthening these values of religious moderation, becomes one of the main indicators as an effort to build the culture and character of the nation. The world’s scholars also created a new focus on religious life with the Islamic term Wasathiyah. The idea was launched in 2015. Islam Wasathiyah is a new breakthrough in Islamic moderation in Indonesia. Through this wasathiyah concept, lecturers, as agents of change in the higher education environment, have a great responsibility in shaping a student's understanding of religion that is balanced, inclusive, and has a positive impact. Therefore, this article outlines how lecturers can be role models and facilitators in educating students about the Islamic concept of Wasathiyyah, providing examples of practice of moderation in worship, as well as encouraging inclusive interreligious dialogue.

RISK PERCEPTION AND INVESTMENT INTENTION IN ISLAMIC BANKS' TERM DEPOSITS: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY IN MOROCCO

<p>This study focuses on the impact of risk perception on the intention to invest in Islamic banks' term deposits in Morocco. Using quantitative methodologies, including statistical analysis, Cronbach's reliability tests, and structural equation modelling, the study assesses the influence of various factors, including perceived quality and perceived value, on the intention to invest. Contrary to expectations and the existing literature, the results suggest that risk perception has no statistically significant effect on the intention to invest in these financial products. However, perceived value shows a significant relationship with intention to invest, indicating its crucial role in financial decision-making within this specific context. These results have important implications for Islamic banks, policymakers, and researchers, as they challenge the conventional emphasis on risk perception in the Islamic finance literature. The results suggest that other factors, such as perceived quality and value, may play a more influential role in the intention to invest in Islamic term deposits.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>JEL</strong>: G11, G 21, Z12, D81</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0101/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Hassan Hanafi and Islamic Legal Theory:

Islamic legal theory (popularly known as uṣū al-fiqh in Islamic term) runs into difficulties when dealing with social and humanities issues. Religious texts, according to Hassan Hanafi’s perspective, should not only be positioned as a source of law, but also at the same time must be seen as a phenomenological experiences of religiosity. The dialectic of religious text and today's empirical context needs to be reformulated. By using phenomenological as a methodological tool, Hassan Hanafi makes an effort of reepistemification of uṣū al-fiqh reason into three typologies of consciousness; historical, eidetic, and praxis. These three aspects constitute the discursive relationship to present an anthropocentric dimension in uṣū al-fiqh reason. This article uses qualitative research methods with interpretation criticism approach. This article aims to analyze the new formula offered by Hassan Hanafi’s uṣū al-fiqh reason, and to examine it to criticize the slogan “Back to the Qur'an and Sunna” as a phenomenon of religiosity.

Jihād is an Islamic term which is to be considered in wide range of meanings. However in Islamic etymological background, Jihād is waged against the transgressors, tyrants and those who rebel against an Islamic state. Allāma Iqbāl's concept of Jihād is more widened and he considers Jihād in the way of Allah as the emblem of establishing freedom, peace and eradicating every type of Muslims' exploitation. His juxtaposition to the concept of Jihād is not mere poetic, yet philosophical and practical due to that Muslims can acquire complete self -freedom, freedom from sins , freedom from internal and external subjugating forces and it helps Muslims to establish a peaceful society.

Ibn ʿUmar’s Interpretation of the Qur’ānic Verse ‘Fight them until Fitnah is No More’ and its Relevance to Contemporary Muslims

The main focus of this article is to bring the Qurʾānic verse (2: 193) under discussion and specifically the interpretation of a popular Islamic term fitnah in it that not only changes the verse’s meaning, but overall the purpose of dīn (religion). There are multiple meanings of fitnah, the term used in verse (2: 193), available in the early exegetical literature but majority exegetes have adopted its meanings as ‘polytheism (shirk) or disbelief (kufr) which resulted in numerous complications and shall duly be examined in this study. Next the interpretation of fitnah as ‘religious persecution’ shall be discussed in detail by a famous companion of the Prophet, ʿAbd Allah b. ʿUmar that he offered in the days of civil unrest (fitan wars). It is this specific interpretation that forms the focus of this research. The heart of the argument lies in the interpretation of fitnah as ‘religious coercion’ rather than polytheism (shirk) or disbelief (kufr) that has many positive aspects. First, Ibn ʿUmar’s interpretation does not lead to any complications or contradictions. Second, by adopting this, the verse (2: 193) does not lose its relevance and remains as relevant to the contemporary times as it was in the yester years. Third, on the part of Muslims this commentary enhances in the virtuality of peace and refutation of religious extremism.

Religion: The Final Frontier of the Rainbow Nation

Abstract This article assesses the ways in which religious diversity and religious pluralism are asserted and negotiated within the context of contemporary South Africa through scrutinising the Christian Friendly Products campaign which advocates against the ubiquity of the halaal food symbol and halaal food in South Africa. Halaal is an Islamic term, which refers to food products that are ritually permissible for consumption by Muslims. The campaign claims that the visible presence of halaal food in public spaces undermines the rights of Christian consumers, is an affront to the beliefs of Christians, and is a presage to the impending Islamisation of South Africa. In claiming that religion is the final frontier of the rainbow nation, this article argues that the myth of rainbowism, once wielded as a peacemaking gesture and nation building tool, has projected inaccurate representations of religious coexistence and difference in South Africa that obscure and minimise growing religious conflict and tension.

The antecedents of Muslim customers’ intention to invest in an Islamic bank’s term deposits: evidence from a Muslim majority country

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the impacts of product knowledge, perceived quality, perceived risk and perceived value on customers’ intention to invest in Islamic Banks. This study specifically examines an Islamic bank’s term deposits.Design/methodology/approachStructural equation modeling was used to analyze the data collected from 217 customers of an Islamic bank in Indonesia using an online survey.FindingsThis study highlights the central and dual roles of perceived risk as both the independent and the intervening variable that mediates the relationship between product knowledge and Muslim customer intention to invest in an Islamic bank’s term deposits.Research limitations/implicationsThis study only investigates term deposits as one type of investment in Islamic banks. This study contributes to the literature by examining the role of product knowledge, perceived quality, perceived risk and perceived value on Muslim customer intention to invest in Islamic term deposits.Practical implicationsThe results of this study highlight the requirement for Islamic banks to educate customers to improve the depositors’ product knowledge because Muslim customers’ risk and value perception and intention are strongly influenced by product knowledge.Originality/valueThe investigation of perceived risk is particularly relevant for Islamic financial products because of the inherent nature of risk sharing in Islamic finance. This study investigates the role of product knowledge in influencing the Muslim customers’ perception of risk, quality, value and their intention to invest in Islamic bank term deposits. Ideally, the profit loss sharing concept (PLS) should be applied; however, in this context, revenue sharing is applied because of Indonesia’s central bank regulation.

Extraction of Concept and Concept Relation for Islamic Term Using Syntactic Pattern Approach

Ontology Learning is a semi automation step to learn ontology from text. The identification of a term become a prerequisite for all aspects of Ontology Learning. The Ontological Learning Layer is started by identifying terms, synonyms, concepts, hierarchical concepts, relationships and rules for various domain text including Islamic-based text or Islamic Glossary. The glossary of Islamic terms translated into English has been in abundance and requires extraction of important information for a clear understanding of an Islamic term. The existence of a list of Islamic terms is to minimize the spelling diversity, to seek the concept of the term and provide guidance for a unique Islamic concept. However, this electronic form provides a serious problem to achieve machine operation. The study aims to identify and extract concepts, taxonomies, relationships and rules that can be built on the domain of the terms in Islamic glossary specific to the field of Islamic Pillars. This extraction involves the use of Hearst pattern approach. The data set used is from the Dictionary or Islamic Glossary of the International Islamic University of Malaysia (DEED 2015). The dictionary consists of Islamic terms, which are the concepts and intentions of each concepts in alphabetical order. The study used six phases involving the preparation, processing and testing phase that are merged with the methodology design of the study. A total of 41 concepts were successfully extracted based on 6 Hearst pattern, 31 manually generated rules from 19 sentences and 9 non-taxonomic relationships. The result of the study concluded that the objective of this study was achieved in the scope determined when the results of the study and testing conducted by the assessors in the domain showed positive results. Research constraints are presented to enable researchers to improve the research from time to time. Research proposals for future research have been described so that this study will be more useful and expanded to the next comprehensive guide of Muslims.

Daur Ulang Limbah dalam Pandangan Hukum Islam

The waste recycling is a process in which the new products are made from used products to provide more benefits for human being and to maintain the sustainable ecosystem. It is based on theological assumption that a waste, whatever bad of it, is a part of nature as inseperable way of God’s creation.

The meaning of the ‘Islamic term’ and its change in contemporary Islamic thought: an evaluation study

The meaning of the ‘Islamic term’ and its change in contemporary Islamic thought: an evaluation study.
 This research is within the field of modern linguistics and semantics and within the semantics, it is related to semantic evolution. In the introduction, I briefly discuss the title of the research and the themes of the topic and other related issues, such as the changes that have been deliberately taken on the terminology within the circle of contemporary Islamic thought. The research takes two samples of one of the researchers (Dr. Muhammad Shahrour) who has worked to change the terminology and concepts within his contemporary reading project in his book: Islam and faith- Value System- first part. After that, I refer to the research methodology. The first section deals with the terms of Islam and Muslims in Shahrour’s understanding. This will be done through the presentation of his evidence which is followed by my evaluation and assessment for it. And then by returning to the language and its lexicons as well as the Koranic evidence on which Shahrour relied upon, the research examines his evidence and understanding and then judge them to point out whether Shahrour’s interpretation is right or wrong. The same approach is applied in the second section which is about the terms of faith and believers. Finally, the findings and results of the research will be presented in the conclusion.

Translation of Religious Terminology: al-fat-h al-islami as a Model

<p>This paper is an attempt to illustrate the importance of understanding the religious and cultural background of the ST in the translation process in order to reach an accurate and precise translation product in the TL. The paper affirms that differences between cultures may cause complications which are even more serious for the translator than those arising from differences in language structures. The sample of the study is concerned with an Islamic term, namely <em>al-fat-<span style="text-decoration: underline;">h</span> al-Islami-</em>commonly rendered into English as <em>Islamic Conquest</em> or <em>Invasion-</em> a religiously and culturally bound term/concept. The paper starts by defining culture, and then follows with an extensive lexical analysis of the selected term/concept. The study proves that it is difficult to translate this concept into the TL simply due to the lack of optimal or even near optimal cultural equivalents. The skill and the intervention of the translator are most crucial in this respect because, above all, translation is an act of communication. It is hoped that this study will provide a more precise equivalent of this significant concept; a matter which may better reflect the innate peaceful nature of Islam as a religion. The in-depth descriptive analytical method this study follows can be used to analyze other religiously and culturally bound terms/concepts.</p>

Can ‘Om’ be an Islamic term? Translations, encounters, and Islamic discourse in vernacular South Asia

This article aims at offering a critique of recent approaches to the study of vernacular Islamic literature in South Asia through examples taken from Islamic literature composed in Tamil. First, the article argues that many approaches tend to re-inscribe essentialised religious differences by assuming that specific religious meanings underlie the semantics of a given language. This tendency ignores that both Arabic as well as South Asian vernaculars were employed in multi-religious environments long before Islamic vernacular literature came to be composed in any of these languages. Second, the article seeks to challenge the assumption that the prime aim of vernacular literature was didactic, i.e., that it was composed for the sole purpose of educating a population largely ignorant of religious tenets in Islam. This has led scholars to overemphasize the constraints under which authors composed texts and to ignore the importance of aesthetics in the production of vernacular Islamic literature. Third, the article critiques the portrayal of vernacular Muslim authors as isolated individuals grappling with a non-Muslim environment. Rather, it suggests that many authors responded to other Muslims communicating in the same vernacular, forming a network of poets and texts following similar conventions. In conclusion, the article argues for understanding vernacular Islamic discourse in South Asia as expression of an ‘Indic’ Islam rather than of an uneasy encounter between Islam and Hinduism.
