Internalisasi Nilai Moderat dalam Beragama Mahasiswa

The Hamzanwadi Pancor Islamic Institute is an Islamic university that upholds moderate values in religion, but it is not a necessity that ideas that are not in line with religious moderation can enter campus at any time. So a more serious effort is needed to foster students. The purpose of this study, 1) Knowing the concept of religious moderation, 2) Knowing the process of internalizing moderate values in student religion, 3) Knowing the impact of internalizing moderate values in religious students. This type of research is an empirical research (field search) that uses a qualitative approach. Primary data obtained through the process of interviews, observation, and documentation. The secondary data obtained through literature study, namely by studying books, as well as other supporting literature such as articles and journals related to this research. The results of this study, 1) The concept of religious moderation implemented at IAIH Pancor, namely Islam that is rahmatan lil 'alamin which adheres to the principles held by Ahlussunna Wal Jamaah with a tendency to Wasathiyyah Islamic values. In the sense of an attitude that prioritizes the middle way, it is not textual, and also not liberal in religion. And the moderate attitude built by IAIH Pancor also emphasizes the harmony between religion and the state. 2) The process of internalizing moderate values is carried out through several activities, first. NWDI's education, second. Book study. 3) The impact of internalization of moderate values, First. shapestudents who are inclusive in religion, Second. mform students who love religion, nation, and state.
 

Disputes and Doctrines of the Threefold Middle Way in the Early Sanlun School

This paper examines the development of the Sanlun School’s Threefold Middle Way doctrine, focusing on the contributions of Sengquan and Falang. Often seen as pillars of Sanlun thought preceding Jizang, their teachings remain under-explored in scholarship. This study combines a close reading of their philosophical texts with historical context to generate an in-depth understanding of how the Threefold Middle Way evolved over generations. Sengquan introduced a complex double negation to amplify the transcendental quality of his theory, contrasting with the simpler “neither A nor B” negation of Chengshi masters. Falang, building on this, solidified his interpretation of the middle way and provisional names amidst disputes with contemporary masters. He formulated Three Types of Utterance; the First is directly inherited from Sengquan, while the Second and Third represent the two axes of his two truths theory: gradual abandonment and equality. Falang’s critical response to his fellow masters, particularly his removal of provisional names, heightens the transcendental quality of his theories. A thorough understanding of Sengquan and Falang’s doctrines provides an informed basis to assess the true scope of Jizang’s contributions to Sanlun thought.

THE ROLE OF THE POLICE IN EFFORTS TO HANDLE CAROK IN THE TRADITION OF CONFLICT RESOLUTION IN BANGKALAN COMMUNITIES IN MADURA (CASE STUDY IN BANGKALAN POLRES, MADURA)

Indonesia is a country that upholds the principle of the rule of law. State law is something that must be obeyed by everyone without exception. But in the existing reality, state law, especially criminal law, is not enforced on an indigenous community because society has made an existing tradition a law or regulation that is used as an effort to solve problems even though this tradition conflicts with Indonesian criminal law. The Criminal Code (KUHP) is a guide in resolving conflicts that exist in people's lives. In this case, the role of the police as law enforcement officers must be maximized and synergize with the community so that they can adapt to existing traditions in society which in the future are expected to be able to provide a middle way for a conflict between public law, namely criminal law and traditions still held by some circles of society.

ANALISIS POTENSI SUMBER BELAJAR DALAM BUKU ISLAM JALAN TENGAH KARYA YUSUF QARDHAWI

The struggles with various phenomena of intolerance and discrimination that occur in the midst of society, especially young people today, make Islamic religious education must increasingly expand learning resources that are not only at the level of normativism alone but more to the effort of comprehensive actualization of Islamic teachings. This study aims to analyze the book Islam the Middle Way by Yusuf Qardhawi as an additional learning resource for Islamic religious education materials. This type of research is included in the qualitative type of library research with the book Islam Jalan Tengah by Yusuf Qardhawi as the primary reference. Data collection used documentation study techniques. Data analysis techniques were carried out descriptively, through the stages of data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. This study concludes that the values of religious moderation from Yusuf Qardhawi's perspective are relevant to the narrative of religious moderation through education by the Ministry of Religion, further to make the book Islam Jalan Tengah by Yusuf Qardhawi as a learning resource can be done through stages: 1) Finding the relationship of the book Islam Jalan Tengah with KI, KD, and PAI learning objectives; 2) Determining the characteristics of PAI material delivery by adjusting input from Yusuf Qardhawi.

Agrarian conflict and split recognition: The middle way for recognition of the Mapur Bangka Tribe in Indonesia

Since the New Order regime, access to tin mines has been a disaster for the Mapur Tribe. The desire to live in prosperity from tin mining led to a prolonged structural agrarian conflict and problems of political recognition. This study aims to analyze agrarian conflicts and the recognition debates that surround them and analyze the visibility of discourses on the recognition that is adaptive to the interests of indigenous peoples. Through qualitative research with case studies, this study found that structural agrarian conflict gave rise to social rupture and acts of mutual exclusion between groups. The counter-movement can unite the group and continue the resistance. After the agrarian conflict, indigenous peoples were faced with debates about the legal product of recognition through sectoral laws which gave rise to different interpretations at the Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD) level. This condition gave rise to the phenomenon of split recognition, due to the lack of political will to include the agenda for recognition of Indigenous Peoples (MHA) in regional planning policies. A comprehensive law with a general function is needed as a middle ground for the unification of arrangements regarding MHA.

UDAN POTIR: REPETOIR YANG PUNAH DARI GORDANG SAMBILAN DALAM KOMUNIKASI PEMBANGUNAN ISLAM DI TANAH MANDAILING

This study aims to analyze the extinction of Udan Potir's repertoire in the Gordang Sambilan game while in development communication in Mandailing land. The extinction came from a repertoire full of ecological meaning in the form of rhythmic calling for rain and worshiping other than Allah. The method used in this study is exploratory research by analyzing the extinction of the udan potir repetoir in rites using gordang Sambilan along with the development of Islam in the Mandailing land. Specifically, this research seeks to trace information related to the repetoir on part-time gordang players in Mandaling Natal Regency, North Sumatra Province. This research analysis uses the Servaes development communication approach which seeks to unravel the extinction of Udan Potir's repertoire by looking at the important aspect of considering the local context in designing a development communication strategy. The results of this study indicate that Udan Potir's repetoir has uniqueness in the space of Mandailing local wisdom, but the repetoir is full of shirk values from rhythmic processes that tend to be in trance and worship other than God which makes this repeto increasingly left behind until it becomes extinct in the Gordang Sambilan tradition. Therefore it is necessary Therefore, development communication is needed to find a middle way in preserving Gordang Sambilan without violating the religious values shared by the majority of the community. this can be done by looking for alternative lyrics or movements that are more in line with religious values, or by maintaining the repertoire within the scope of non-religious culture.

AKSENTUISI MODERASI BERAGAMA DALAM LINGKUNGAN KELUARGA SEJAK DINI

Indonesia is a pluralistic country consisting of different tribes, races and religions, so tolerance is needed in understanding all the differences that exist, as well as cultural educational institutions whose citizens are also diverse. Therefore, religious moderation is very appropriate to be applied in the life of the nation and state, especially in multicultural societies. Religious moderation is a middle way in dealing with differences in both extreme and fundamental groups. The family context in strengthening religious moderation is a top priority compared to the social and educational context. Likewise in the research context, the theme of the method of developing religious moderation values ​​in the family context is still very limited. Therefore, this study aims to explore the results of research on this theme to map the research that has been done and opportunities for future researchers. This research is a library research based on books and previous research. The results show that research on the method of developing religious moderation values ​​in the family is still limited in terms of the number of studies, the variety of methods, and the type of research used. The implications of these findings are discussed further

Agama dan Negara dalam Konteks Keindonesiaan

This study analyzes the relationship between Islam and the state in the Indonesian context. This research employes descriptive and analytical methods through normative and historical approaches, through literature review, both books written by classical scholars as well as books and journal articles written by contemporary researchers, and other relevant sources. The results of this study indicate that the relationship between religion and the state in the Indonesian context initially led to an integral paradigm by making Islam the basis of the state. However, with various considerations, Pancasila is the middle way which marks that the state and the Islamic religion are in a symbiotic paradigm. To this day, the two side by side help each other in achieving the national ideals of the Indonesian nation.

Educational Responses to Artificial Intelligence (AI) Applications: Problems and Promise

The recent appearance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications such as Google’s Bard tool and OpenAI’s ChatGPT series has brought forth a flurry of reactions from both academic and popular commentators ranging from doom-laden pessimism to futuristic hyperbolic optimism. Both ends of this spectrum are revealed in the educational literature with the sharp contrast between critical accounts predicting the decline of academic standards and those welcoming the new applications as a means of enhancing teaching and learning. In the attempt to steer a middle way between these extremes, this article examines the merits and demerits of AI applications in education alongside the suggestion of possibilities for working with the new tools in a productive manner. In relation to ethical considerations raised by the recent developments, it is suggested that AI applications are best conceptualised as powerful entities – perhaps ideally regarded as non-human persons – which need to be utilised pragmatically and regulated ethically in partnership with humans in the best interests of all of us. Such a partnership model will be especially important to learners and teachers who are charged with making sense of a rapidly changing educational environment.

Islamic Moderation (Islam Wasati): The Way Forward To Counter Radicalism

This study aims to explain the paradox of the face of Islam known as Rahmatan lil 'alamin on the one hand but indicates with acts of radicalism on the other hand. The rise of violence in the name of religion tarnished the face of Islam, which is famous for its friendship. Islam as a tolerant and peaceful teaching against radical and liberal Islam. This paper aims to reveal the root causes of acts of radicalism in the name of religion and how to solve them. This research uses literature study by searching and formulating several primary texts and supporting texts that rely on the topic, and then we analyze it to conclude the conclusion in the end. From the existing data, the authors found a relationship between religious truth claims and acts of violence that occurred because of them. Then came the discourse of Wasati Islam as a middle way in religion. Therefore, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding so there are no misunderstandings in religious thought. Muslims must not be trapped in a narrow understanding and stuck with a model of understanding that makes Muslims undeveloped, even liars who transgress. Muslims must be messengers of mercy to this world with calm and peaceful faces by understanding the Shari'ah framework in implementing it.

Exploring Coping and Religiosity in an Indian Ashram for Older Adults.

With the aging of Indians and the cultural context of family care, faith-based ashrams are a possible middle way for older adult care for strained families. Religiosity is multidimensional, but it is unclear how its different dimensions relate to coping. This exploratory study investigates the profile of residents living in a faith-based ashram of Haridwar, a pilgrimage town in Northern India. Additionally, it examines religiosity and coping in this population, and the correlates of positive coping response (PCR). Preliminary field survey helped zero in on a single consenting ashram. We included 95 older adult participants (≥ 60 years) residing for more than six months. Relevant dimensions were captured with a survey interview form to record sociodemographics, BriefCOPE, and Duke University Religion Index. The sample was representative of the institutionalized older-adult population considering the overlap of sociodemographics (age, gender, and marital status). We conducted linear regression to examine possible predictors of PCR. Most older adults were Hindus, higher educated, married, and lived with their spouses. The participants were highly religious. Coping through religion was most common, followed by active coping. On linear regression, a significant model emerged [F (13, 63) = 3.411, p < .001), where age, education, and organizational religious activity were significant predictors of PCR. However, other sociodemographic (sex, marital status, economics, family contact) and dimensions of religiosity (non-organizational religious activity and intrinsic religiosity) variables failed to predict PCR. Lesser age, higher education, and involvement in the public practice of religiosity are essential contributors to PCR in older adults. How different aspects of religiosity influence coping and lend meaning to dealing with stress, needs further exploration.

Sweden's image in the world: Still a ‘model’?

AbstractSweden has long been regarded as a ‘model’ for societal development. Recently, with the rise of an anti‐immigrant party and negative news coverage of crime, the image of a progressive Sweden has frayed. Positive models for societal development have existed in the past and included the United States during the heyday of modernization theory. This paper argues that positive models are useful, partly to crystallize options among the much‐debated varieties of capitalism, and partly as ideals which can be held up by social thinkers and publics as aspirations for the good society. This paper reviews the evolution of the Swedish model from a ‘middle way’ between Soviet communism and American capitalism to a welfare state under strain. It also examines how the Swedish model has been reinforced by its high international standing. The perceptions of Sweden abroad and domestically have changed in recent years. While these perceptions have correctly identified challenges not just for Sweden but also for other countries with similar problems, Sweden's government and civil society may be able to address them. The paper explores the lessons that can be learned from the current shortcomings and potential renewal of the strengths of the Swedish model, including its wider influence.

Religious Authority in Islamic Law: A Debate on Conservative and Progressive Methods

There are two major competing groups in Islamic jurisprudence, the first is the value-laden scholars’ group who believe that religious authority comes from conservative and collective understanding and the second is the value-free scholars’ group who believe that religious authority comes from progressive and individual understanding. These two groups have contested over the highest authority between collective ijtihad and individual ijtihad in producing Fiqh products. This article aims to discuss a discourse on the contestation between value-laden and value-free. This research is conducted through qualitative method based on case studies. It is also focus on literature review of various primary and secondary sources. We identified and selected many relevant sources that linked very closely to both the substance of the topic as well as to the theories that we used to strengthen the research’s arguments, data analysis, and findings. However, Kuntowijoyo’s theory ‘Islam as Science’ is used as the main tool to construct a new and neutral authority. As a result, this research offers the middle way of Fiqh that can bridge the two major groups, as well as can be used as an alternative discourse to construct a new, moderate, and neutral meaning.

Initial and dynamics of conventional and Islamic economic thoughts

Islamic economic thought is often negatively viewed due to unfairly reserved in the historical account. People tend to treat conventional economics as the best application for the betterment of humanbeings. This article tries to provide both economic thoughts aiming at positioning both in the views of their adherents. This research applies library one using descriptive analytical methods and normative-economic approaches by delving into the concept of conventional economy in both capitalist and socialist system. It can be said that Islamic economics is a representation of a middle way between both systems which applies the good principles of the two economic systems, and removes the aspects incompatible with Islamic system.

Cadar, Isbal And Cultural Da'wah Problems In Normative-Historical Islam: An Overview Of Da'wah Communication

Islam is a religion brought by the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam which is a mercy for the universe. But lately, there have been several issues of cornering Islam, namely Islamophobia. This is because sometimes the application of Islam normatively and also its application in the real world that we call the term historical Islam occurs in conflict things, so in this case the approach of humanism, the wisdom of thinking, mutual respect and mutual respect in order to create a safe life and peace. The data analysis method that the researcher uses is a descriptive analysis method, which explains the data with the elaboration based on theories, one of the theory is M. Amin Abdullah's theory of normative and historical Islam. This research is in the form of library research. The results of this study are the solution to the normative and historical problem of Islam, namely missionary communication that is humanist, advising, embracing, not criticizing and not forcing and remaining in the arms of ukhuwah Islamiyah as long as these differences can still be tolerated and does not come out of the boundaries of sharia 'at Islam itself. Why does humanist da'wah communication become a middle way to reconcile normative or historical understanding? Because in fact the problem is not the difference itself, but how we respond to these differences.

A Phenomenological Study of Polemic Regulation of Abortion Law on Medical Emergency Indications in Hospital

Abortion is a crucial law in health law. But in reality, abortion for several medical reasons is a legal way to be taken in providing solutions to safety problems related to pregnancy. One of the regulations related to abortion is regulated in Law Number 36 of 2009 concerning Health which is considered as an answer to legal issues related to abortion, which includes the legal position that abortion can be carried out, namely on indications of a medical emergency. Regulations related to abortion regulations are not only regulated in the Health Law but are also regulated in Criminal Code (KUHP) for the crime of abortion. Article 299 of Criminal Code strictly prohibits an act that kills life as a form of crime. The polemic of overlapping legal rules that apply and occurs between the Health Law and Criminal Code is certainly a condition that must be addressed wisely through several analyzes so that it is hoped that a middle way that is best in addressing these two matters will be found. Purpose. This study aims to determine the description of the implementation of abortion for indications of medical emergencies in hospitals that are associated with abortion law regulations, namely the Criminal Code and the Health Law, where there is a conflict of norms, namely the Criminal Code prohibits loopholes for abortion by anyone and under any conditions while the Health Law provides space to be carried out. abortion in pregnant women that endangers her life. Method. The research design used in this study was qualitative with a descriptive phenomenological approach. This study reveals a description of the implementation of abortion regulations based on aspects of medical emergencies that are linked between the Health Law regulations and the Criminal Code regulations for the crime of abortion. Data were collected through interviews using research tools, namely voice recorders to record the conversations of researchers and participants, as well as field notes. The researcher analyzed the data using Colaizzi's analysis, which was to complete the analysis by re-clarifying the participants. Results. The results of the study found that legal issues regarding abortion regulations indicating medical emergencies as long as it refers to procedures according to Health Law No. 36 of 2009 then legal issues regarding the Criminal Code on abortion cannot be brought to the surface, because in medicine abortion provocatus medicinalis or abortion for medical emergencies indications is a medical abortion. which must be carried out on pregnant women in emergency conditions, which if abortion is not carried out, it can threaten the life of the pregnant woman. Recommendation. The government as the policy holder has the authority over the draft Criminal Code regarding abortion, if it can make changes or reforms through the draft Criminal Code on abortion based on conditions in the field, one of which is by paying attention to and synchronizing with the Health Law so that there is no overlapping legal rules. so that the main purpose of abortion is to save the life of a pregnant woman who has problems with her pregnancy, which can be prevented

THE CONCEPT AND LEVELS OF MAHASANTRI UNDERSTANDING ON RELIGIOUS MODERATION IN MA'HAD AL-JĀMI'AH UIN ANTASARI BANJARMASIN

The study of religious moderation seems to be a wave today. In the framework of higher education, although studies on religious moderation have been widely carried out in the last few decades, studies on religious moderation are still limited to the program activities, roles, and efforts made by PTKIN. This study wants to know the success of these programs and efforts by looking at the level of understanding of Ma'had al-Jāmi’ah UIN Antasari students in describing religious moderation. This study aimed to determine the understanding of Mahasantri and the factors influencing their knowledge of religious moderation. This qualitative descriptive field study shows the results that mahasantri's understanding of religious moderation can be categorized into several key concepts; religious moderation is: 1) the Middle Way, fair and balanced; 2) it is not rigid and fanaticism in religion; 3) it is the one that is not exaggerating, 4) it does not impose its beliefs on others, 5) Religious Moderation is a Process and Tolerance is a result of it. At the level of understanding, mahasantri’s understanding is not only at the first level of understanding (translation), but their understanding has also entered the second and third levels of understanding, namely interpretation, and extrapolation.

POETS: An Event-driven Approach to Dissipative Particle Dynamics

HPC clusters have become ever more expensive, both in terms of capital cost and energy consumption; some estimates suggest that competitive installations at the end of the next decade will require their own power station. One way around this looming problem is to design bespoke computing engines, but while the performance benefits are good, the design costs are huge and cannot easily be amortized. Partially Ordered Event Triggered System (POETS)—the focus of this article—seeks to exploit a middle way: The architecture is tuned to a specific algorithmic pattern but, within that constraint, is fully programmable. POETS software is quasi-imperative: The user defines a set of sequential event handlers, defines the topology of a (typically large) concurrent ensemble of these, and lets them interact. The “solution” may be exfiltrated from the emergent behaviour of the ensemble. In this article, we describe (briefly) the architecture, and an example computational chemistry application, dissipative particle dynamics (DPD). The DPD algorithm is traditionally implemented using parallel computational techniques, but we re-cast it as a concurrent compute problem that is then ideally suited to POETS. Our prototype system is realised on a cluster of 48 FPGAs providing 50K concurrent hardware threads, and we report performance speedups of over two orders of magnitude better than a single thread baseline comparator and scaling behaviour that is almost constant. The results are validated against a “conventional” implementation.

Thinking Seriously: Discrimination in Papua Asymmetry Autonomy

The land of Papua is a gift. However, this gift belongs to the indigenous Papuan, so it is right when special autonomy interpreted the benefits of the original intent of the indigenous Papuan. This research is a doctrinal research with primary and secondary legal materials which are analyzed textually and contextually so that it finds the men behind the rule and the discourse of positive and negative discrimination that occurs. This discourse produces a particular light that special autonomy does not guarantee a solution to the Papuan conflict. Thinking Seriously about Special Autonomy Discrimination in Papuan results in a analysis that legal orientalism is influential in this matter. Referendum is a solution but does not solve the root of the problem. The Noken system will strengthen a patrimonial consolidated democracy. What the central government needs to do is resolve past human rights cases, accommodate people’s aspirations which have been manifested in various demonstrations and open space for dialogue between Papuan nationalists and other Indonesians. Special Autonomy is inherently regional within the federal state which is a middle way to overcome the power struggle over Papua.
