Al-Quran Digitalization: Adolescent View on the Value of the Digital Al-Quran Application

This study analyses and explains the boundaries between the sacred and profane in digital Al-Quran applications contained in smartphones. This research uses an ethnographic approach. The research study subjects were Muslim teenagers who use digital Al-Quran applications. The results showed a difference in the treatment of Muslim teenagers using digital Al-Quran with the Al-Quran in the form of manuscripts. The existence of a digital Al-Quran makes its sacred value disappear due to the rites, ethics and prohibitions attached to it. In addition, some digital Al-Quran applications bring up advertisements and notifications that interfere with the user's focus on reading them. The development and convergence of the media have made secular values into the Al-Quran and finally eliminated the sacred value of the Al-Quran itself with the loss of the rituals attached to the Al-Quran. The results of this study indicate a novelty, namely that Muslim youth simplify the use of digital Al-Quran applications compared to manuscripts considered more sacred as God's revelation. This shows that modernisation has also bulldozed sacred religious institutions. So, this study criticises the theory of Emil Durkheim and Antony Giddens regarding sacred and profane contexts.

Driving Factors for Having the Feeling of Resentment towards God among Muslim Adolescents: Its Phenomena and Solutions

The article aims to study the causes that lead to the development of Misotheism (a sense of resentment or embitterment towards God or theistic belief in general) among Muslim adolescents. Previous studies have tackled the issue from its atheist phenomenon without investigating its causes. Therefore, the study focuses on the phenomenon of resentment and embitterment towards God, its driving factors in initial stages and its evolution into atheism among Muslim teenagers. The research highlights the importance of defending against malicious attempts from the critics of Islam who are engaged in efforts that result in severe harm to the psychology of Muslim youth everywhere. The study uses qualitative methods in which library research, method of analysis and observation are applied. The finding shows that there are three main factors that lead to this phenomenon; namely: psychological, social and cognitive causes. The psychological causes for the rebellious behavior among youth are mainly due to family breakdown. As for the social causes, they are owing to the rigidity of customs and traditions in the name of religion, Islamophobia, social injustice, and the excessive veneration of people and promotion of narcissistic behavior, while the cognitive reasons are embedded in the problem of life challenges, addictions, and social evils. The study also proposes some practical solutions for the issues discussed.

Introduction and objectivesAlthough nocturnal emission (NE) is an integral part of normal sexual function of males, little information has been documented in the literature. We aimed to assess masturbation habits and frequency of NE among virgin male religious Muslim teenagers. Materials and methodsA questionnaire was administered to students staying in a religious dormitory or attending a religion course. Data of 113 male-respondents including demographic characteristics, masturbation habits and frequency of NE were collected. ResultsThe mean age of students was 15.88±1.47 (range: 13–20) years. Of the students, 46(41.4%) reported that they never masturbated and 19 (17.3%) never experienced NEs. NE frequency was not correlated with age (p=0.092). Having NEs was not related to the time since last masturbation either (p=0.479). Subjects watching TV more than 3h/day had more NEs than the ones watching less (p=0.006). Of the subjects 13.6%, 12.6% and 67% believed that masturbation is halal, permissible and forbidden by religion, respectively whereas these rates were 59.1%, 20.4% and 7.5% for NE. ConclusionsAlthough masturbation and NE are frequent among virgin male religious Muslim teenagers, a significant proportion of young men believe that only masturbation, but not NE, is forbidden by religion. Watching TV seems to be associated with the frequency of NEs. Further studies are required to elicit the factors affecting frequency of NEs.

I Am the Maker of My Image: Marvel’s No Normal and the Comic Book Muslim Woman

In 2014, the editor and writer of Ms. Marvel, Sana Amanat and G. Willow Wilson,1 created an extraordinary new superhero-a young Muslim girl Kamala Khan. She is like any other middle-class girl in New Jersey in many ways, and critics like Noah Berlatsky feel that Kamala’s story is an “assimilation fantasy” (“What Makes”). This essay argues that the story goes beyond the idea of assimilation. It shows how the comic depicts Kamala as a Pakistani-American often battling misconceptions, stereotypes, and racism. Rather than desiring assimilation, the comic book suggests that assimilation is something that each individual negotiates. This essay shows how the new Ms. Marvel series critiques the stereotypes young people like Kamala face. It makes visible her desperate wish to be an American while straddling two cultures, her negotiation of confining gender norms that exist in her home and community, and her defiance of the hegemonic norm of white, male superhero. This essay argues that the new Ms. Marvel series questions and resists American comic master narratives through Kamala’s identity crisis; it creates resistance by breaking cultural and political assumptions about South Asian Muslim women and teenagers in general, and indeed, about Islam.

Ten Years of Experience in Contraception Options for Teenagers in a Family Planning Center in Thrace and Review of the Literature

Introduction: The goal of our study was to investigate and evaluate the contraceptive behavior in teenagers from our family planning centre that services two different religious and socioeconomic populations living in the Thrace area. Methods: During the last 10 years 115 Christian Orthodox (group A) and 53 Muslim teenagers (group B) were enrolled in our retrospective study. Contraceptive practice attitudes were assessed by a questionnaire. Religion, demographics, socio-economic characteristics were key factors used to discuss contraception and avoid unplanned pregnancy in each group and to compare with the contraceptive method used. Results: The most used contraceptive method—about two times more frequently—among Christian Orthodox participants was the oral contraceptive pill (p = 0.015; OR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.13–2.90), while in the other group the use of condoms and IUDs was seven and three times more frequent, respectively. Our family planning centre was the main source of information for contraception. Conclusions: During adolescence, the existence of a family planning centre and participation in family planning programs plays a crucial role to help the teenagers to improve their knowledge and choose an effective contraception method.
