Green Economy Community-Led Transformation

Palm oil plantations in Eastern Aceh face a challenge: an excess of underutilized palm frond waste, creating environmental and economic burdens. To address this, a study explored empowering local communities to transform this waste into valuable handicrafts, promoting a green economic model. Despite the economic benefits of the palm oil industry, high unemployment persists, especially among the youth in palm-producing areas, with little awareness of the potential in palm frond waste. An apprenticeship program was implemented, providing hands-on training in crafting products like plates, handbags, and prayer mats. This training likely increased participants' confidence and curiosity. By equipping participants with skills before explaining the program’s aim of waste-to-wealth transformation, a strong foundation was laid. The study highlighted participants' enthusiasm and success in producing handicrafts post-training. This community-led approach, focused initially on skill development, shows potential for green economic transformation in Eastern Aceh, reducing waste and creating new income streams, potentially aligning with the region's Halal-tourism sector.

Mr. Kemal Questions God

Mr. Kemal Questions God Asnia Asim (bio) Keywords poetry, Asnia Asim, aging, God, Allah, marriage Maybe it was a reaction to old age; it could be thathe resented retired life. But the ex-neurologist,amateur collector of oriental coins, had recently taken to scolding his poor wife for all that prayingunder her breath, Mashallah-this and Inshallah-that.Last week, even as she tripped over the bathroom mat and almost broke her hip, he heard herthanking Allah for steadying her faltering step.Enough was enough. “So what’s the point of this God?” he flat out asked her one day.“There is a thing called the Big Bang, you know.”She sipped her tea in awe. “And by the way, there are no djinns in the attic.” His smile grew bitter.“And lightning won’t strike if I touch the Quranwith my unwashed hands. Look—” he picked up the book, his wife about to cry. But his gentle heartinterfered; he set down the holy text and stormed outof the house. It was not a complete surprise; Mrs. Kemal knew her man. He blasphemedmore arduously during the Monsoon, when his jointsflamed up in pain. The world brought itself to him in numbers. He adored patterns. The books in his studywere immaculately lined, and he took tea at exactly six amand eight pm. Neighbors had informed her about Friday, [End Page 13] when the good doctor had challenged the mosque clericto prove piety in the Prophet’s bedding a dozen women.But unlike her relatives, Mrs. Kemal was not disheartened. She was one of those who know they know moreby knowing less. When she touched a plant or lookeddeeply at a shawl it quickened with feeling— even the blank television, a phone blinking for chargecould move her to tears. The world was a sacred objectthat required no doing on her part, no proving. When she touched her head to the prayer mat, she foundin her imperfection a wholeness—. Unlike Mr. Kemal,she wasn’t afraid of paradoxes; they helped her sense the wound beneath her husband’s discontent. So, at nightwhen he finally took off his glasses, carefully arranged themon top of his book, when long umbelling snores wove out of his breath, she recited verses of protection and gentlyblew them on his bare head. From the opened windowshe stared at the sky and wondered about the Big Bang. Clouds came so near, lightning bent, dominion of heatat its end: jasmine, red mangoes, smells of the bazaar—the whole city flooding in to greet Mr. and Mrs. Kemal. [End Page 14] Asnia Asim asnia asim’s debut chapbook Quarantine with Rilke (Finishing Line Press) was listed by Ms. Magazine as “one of the most exciting and necessary collections published late last year and forthcoming in 2022.” Her poems have received multiple nominations for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net.

Pemahaman Hadis Sutrah dalam Shalat: Tanggapan terhadap Kaum Feminis yang Keberatan dengan "Binatang dan Wanita itu Sederajat"

The distance between the person who prays and his surah is that there is sufficient space for prostration. The forms of Sutrah or barriers that exist in Indonesia are shaf and prayer mats. The opinion regarding the prohibition of walking in front of people praying is still a difference of opinion among the schools of thought.

Dame Wang’s Dumplings: Mediating the Obscene in Manchu Translations of Erotic Literature at the Turn of the Eighteenth Century

Abstract This article examines the surprising attention to taboo works of Chinese erotic literature within the corpus of early Manchu literary translations, focusing on the Manchu interpretations of Jinpingmei (The plum in the golden vase), Xixiang ji (The story of the western wing), and Rouputuan (The carnal prayer mat). The Qing court is well known to have sponsored translations of core works of the Chinese classical and historical tradition, while simultaneously banning texts perceived as heterodox, lascivious, or politically sensitive. A lively engagement among Manchu commercial publishers with the literary tradition, including vernacular novels and plays, highlights the broader reading habits of the early Qing Manchu reader in practice. In mediating erotic material for this new audience, translators employed a variety of interpretive choices, ranging from expurgation to the opposite extreme of hyper-sexualization. This study situates these translation practices within the broader Manchu justifications of reading this material, shifting our attention from the conventional representation of Manchu literary repression.

The Maghrib in Europe: Royal Slaves and Islamic Institutions in Eighteenth-Century Spain

Did a slave mosque really operate for decades, out in the open, during the eighteenth century in the port city of Cartagena in Murcia, Spain? An alarmed Inquisitorial report submitted to the Spanish king in September 1769 left no room for doubt — the hospital of the Muslim arsenal slaves in Cartagena functioned as a mosque.1 Its live-in muezzin recited the adhān, the call to worship, from a room on the second floor, and believers convened twice a day. They left their shoes downstairs, walked up the entrance steps barefoot, kissed the steps, and prayed loudly in a large hall adorned with a lamp with three wicks and floors covered by reed prayer mats. Worse, the report states, not only had the hospital turned into a mosque, but it also acted as a sanctuary that provided asylum for fugitive Muslims. In 1768, a Muslim slave tried to flee Cartagena on the frigate of the Moroccan sultan, who had come to pick up Moroccan slaves as part of the peace agreement signed by Morocco and Spain on 28 May 1767. The slave was handed over to the Spanish authorities but managed to escape again, this time to the mosque, where he was provided with temporary asylum. This sanctuary allowed him to negotiate the conditions of his surrender. Indeed, he submitted himself to the authorities only after he was granted a pardon. The report’s sensationalist tone (‘they kiss the stairs . . . [and pray] in loud voice’) and its last bit about asylum, which proved to be an Inquisitorial fabrication, were intended to lead to the closure of the hospital-mosque.2 The plan succeeded, and in the autumn of 1770 the structure was razed to the ground.

Development of Prayer Rakaat Counter Using Piezoelectric Sensor

In this study, a rakaat counter tool was designed and implemented to reduce mistakes in calculating the number of rakaat during prayer. The piezoelectric is used as sensor which is placed on the top of the prayer mat. Rakaat is calculated when piezoelectric has detected twice prostration. There are four modes in this system, namely fardhu prayer with seven segment display, fardhu prayer with LED display, sunnah prayer with seven segment display, and sunnah prayer with LED display.. There is an LED indicator when the rakaat is done which should be in accordance with the prayer time using RTC. The first test of this tool was carried out with piezoelectric calibration when pressed by the load and forehead. This was accomplished to determine when piezoelectric counting proceeded as piezoelectric was connected directly to the ADC of Arduino Uno. The second test was carried out by testing the tool to be used for 3 days in 5 fardhu prayers and 1 sunnah prayer. From the results of the testing it is proven that this tool works properly, and piezoelectric can be used as a replacement button as a tool for rakaat counter.

Optimizing the Prevention of SARS-CoV-2 Transmission Through the Covid-19 Response Mosque

This service aims to participate in the success of the efforts made by the management of the Al-Muttaqin prayer room in implementing health protocols according to government regulations regarding guidelines for organizing activities in houses of worship. It is also to educate the public or congregation about the meaning of Covid-19 and health protocols. This is because some people doubt that the Covid-19 virus can spread to farming communities. Because, for some of them, farmers only work in the fields. The methods used in the implementation of this service are: procurement of cleaning equipment, making liquid soap, spraying disinfectants, cleaning the prayer room, pasting posters, and distributing soap from house to house as well as an invitation to obey health protocols. The result achieved: the community or congregation became aware of the health protocol, which they then realized in the form of keeping the distance between congregations and bringing personal prayer mats from home. The prayer room management is also assisted by the procurement of cleaning equipment and additional personnel in the success of government regulations in the prayer room environment so that the implementation of health protocols is realized.

Exploring the Prevalence of Protective Measure Adoption in Mosques during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Indonesia

Muslims worship together more frequently than members of other religions. They pray in congregation at the mosque five times a day, causing the mosque to become a central hub for COVID-19 transmission. Therefore, the adoption of protective measures as a method of mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic in mosques is vital. This study aims to account for the implementation status of protective measures in mosques in Surakarta City, Indonesia, during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire sent to mosque caretakers as research participants. The mosques were chosen using a simple random sampling technique for a total sample of 247 mosques in Surakarta City. Participants were asked how often they implement the following protective measures in mosques, as recommended by the Majelis Ulama Indonesia: checking body temperature before entering the mosque, prayer distancing, carrying own prayer mat, wearing a mask when praying and no handshaking after prayer. The prevalence of the adoption of protective measures was revealed to be amongst 44.6% to 92.6%, with the lowest prevalence in checking body temperature before entering the mosque. Overall, only 33.7% of mosques implemented all protective measures. In mosques affiliated with Nahdlatul Ulama and the small mosques, the prevalence of protective measures was lower than in mosques affiliated with Muhammadiyah and the large mosques, respectively, suggesting that it is crucial to develop targeted health messages for these groups. Finally, as religious communities remain active in congregational worship during the outbreak, the contradictions between medical and religious practices must be addressed in society for believers to adopt public health policies and for policymakers to comprehend the importance of religious observances.
