Addressing extremist abuses of medieval pasts: A connection-first approach to narratives of hate

“Hello, brother” were the last words of Haji-Daoud Nabi and the first words to greet the shooter who killed 51 and injured dozens more at Masjid al-Noor and the Linwood Islamic Centre on 15 March 2019, in Christchurch, New Zealand. In the aftermath of this devastating attack, the shooter’s motives came to light in the form of a seventyfour- page manifesto and the writing scrawled across his weapons. His manifesto outlined an ideological motive steeped in racism, particularly against Muslims, centering on “The Great Replacement” theory that solidified in France after originating in Serbia. Considering the fact that a maliciously selective and misrepresented reading of history motivated the Christchurch shooter to engage in a horrific act of targeted violence (i.e., a form of violence targeted at a specific person or community because of their identity), this article will propose a pedagogic approach that seeks to build collective resilience to hate within classrooms, schools, and communities. Framed within the broader literature of violence prevention at the intersection of medieval history and education, this article will: a) introduce an illustrative case study that demonstrates the manipulation of history by extremists, with the Christchurch shooting as a culminating outcome intended by the very design of this weaponization and misrepresentation of history; b) offer a pedagogic approach that spotlights the role of connection alongside correction, which nurtures resilience to hate in classrooms and schools by bridging the power of social connectedness in parallel with epistemic concerns regarding the rectification of factual errors or misrepresentations; and c) closes with a call for this pedagogic approach to expand beyond the classroom in order to strengthen the democratic ethos within which members of the public are exposed to the manipulated and fabricated versions of history that exacerbate phenomena such as polarization, Othering, and risk of radicalization.

Muslim women's work

Islam's view of women and their rights is a multifaceted view. Islam’s view of women includes all their aspects and roles, therefore respecting their rights in society as human beings also as a mother, a sister and as a daughter. For each of these women’s status (human being, mother, sister, girl), Islam assigned the rights and fair duties to them and saved them from the oppression of ignorance that has been done to them. Islam also has raised their status and given them the right to participate in building society and improving their levels and abilities. The ruling on women working outside the home is one of the issues that is debated in Islamic centres, Jurisprudence and religious centres have conducted detailed research in this area. If we look at human society today, we see that many women have proved their skills in their work and expertise. They have an active partnership in the development of societies in all areas, even some of those areas that cannot be done without women and without women's participation are close to disability and immobility. At the same time, the work of women in societies has created some problems for society, and women themselves have increased their obligations because of their work and has caused some social problems, including increased crisis and delay in marriage as well as some crimes and other problems. This research aims to discuss the ruling on women working outside the home and determine the conditions and guidelines of this issue and the appropriate places that exist for women to work and the impact of women's work in the economic development of countries and societies. It raises all these from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence.

This study examines the dynamics of personal adjustment in Quranic memorization students using a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative field analysis as primary data and meta-analysis as secondary data. The field study involved 515 students from two Indonesian Islamic boarding schools: Pesantren Tahfizh Daarul Qur'an and Yayasan Islamic Centre Sumatera Utara. The meta-analysis included 30 studies (N = 4,827) from international databases. The quantitative analysis showed a high level of personal adjustment among students (M = 3.66, SD = 0.52), with the highest score on acting objectively according to one's conditions and potential (M = 3.85, SD = 0.48). Regression analysis revealed that self-acceptance significantly predicted overall personal adjustment (β = 0.42, p < .001). The meta-analysis confirmed a positive relationship between self-acceptance and personal adjustment (r = 0.53, 95% CI [0.47, 0.59]). Moderator analysis indicated a stronger effect for female students (r = 0.58) than males (r = 0.49). These findings extend the research of Ahmad et al. (2022) and Rahma (2023) by identifying unique factors influencing personal adjustment of Quranic memorization students, such as memorization intensity (β = 0.31, p < .01) and social support in Quranic boarding schools (β = 0.28, p < .01). Additionally, the integration of primary and secondary data provides a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of personal adjustment in Quranic memorization students, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based interventions to enhance the psychological well-being of these students.

The article examines the origin of the maiden name of Manas Kanykey's wife. According to the version of the famous Manaschi storyteller Sagynbai Orozbakov, this name was Sanirabiga, taken from a retelling of a brief and inaccurate translation of the text of the inscription on the wall of Gumbez Manas, made by historian Belek Soltonoev, in the early 20s of the XX century. It is noted that at the same time, Sagimbai sought to expand the number of words of Arabic-Persian origin and strengthen the Muslim plots of his version of the epic associated with the most important center of Islam in Central Asia, the Bukhara Khanate, from where Kanykey herself or pseudo Sanirabiga originated. The cultural and historical contexts that influenced the formation of this name in the epic are also analyzed.

The Effectiveness of Public Green Open Space Capabilities in Reducing Flooding

The Palopo City watershed could not accommodate the high discharge of rainfall that had fallen previously. The Green Open Space (GOS) had an ecological function by absorbing rainwater. Urban green open spaces absorbed surface flow water in the past, reducing the risk of flooding. In the past, this research measured the effectiveness of three green open spaces (Islamic Center, Pancasila Field, and Salubulo Field) in reducing flooding in Palopo City. We collected data on vegetation types, infiltration capacity, and runoff discharge. Data analysis involved the analysis of infiltration capacity (F), runoff discharge (Q), and green open space effectiveness. In the three green space locations, the following vegetation types were found: Katapang (Terminalia catappa), Palm (Dypsis lutescens), Trambesi (Samanea Saman), and Grass (Cyperus rotundus). The highest total infiltration capacity in the Salubulo Field Green Space resulted in 155 m3/hour (fast category). In the past, the most significant runoff discharge's total value was GOS Pancasila Field: 713.4 mm3/minute. The study concluded that the Salubulo Field Green Space had the highest infiltration capacity (160 m3/hour) and runoff discharge (69 mm3/minute), making it the most effective in reducing flooding in Palopo City in the past. This was > 1 (effectiveness criteria achieved), and the space was dominated by vegetation (trees and grasses).

Prevalence of Non-classical Congenital Adrenal hyperplasia among Patients Managed as A polycystic Ovarian Syndrome using 17-Hydroxy-progesterone as A Biomarker

Background: Women with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCAH) is presented with clinical manifestations similar to that of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Thus, the clinical differentiation between two conditions is challenging. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of NCAH in women managed as a polycystic ovarian disease. Patients and Methods: This work was conducted at the Assisted Reproduction Unit (International Islamic Center for Population Studies and Research, Al-Azhar University). It includes 120 women, 100 of them representing the patient group. Those women asked the medical advice for treatment of anovulation infertility by the Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The other 20 females represented the control group. They were treated for male-factor infertility. The prevalence of NCAH among female treated as PCOS was estimated. Results: The diagnosis of NCCAH was confirmed for 5% of women treated as PCOS in this study. The study also confirmed the clinical and biochemical similarities between the two conditions. However, the differentiation was possible by the significant difference of 17-hydroxyprogesterone between the two groups. A cutoff value of 3.98 ng/ml provided an excellent diagnostic power for NCAH. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.981, sensitivity was 100.0% and specificity was 97.89%. Conclusion: The measurement of 17-hydroxyprogesterone can be used as a screening tool to differentiation PCOS from NCAH, permitting proper treatment planning.
