Interreligious Relations Among the Igala people

The three main religions practiced in Igala territory are Christianity, Islam, and African traditional religion. Consequently, the study looks at the relationships between the Igala people's various religions. An approach to qualitative research was adopted in this paper. With some contribution from my own experience as an Igala and as a missionary who has served pastorally in the Idah Diocese, the study was mostly based on library research. The study's conclusions demonstrated that, despite their differing religious perspectives, there are numerous examples of cooperation, support for one another, and a single, coordinated effort towards a common goal. The nation's two main religions, Islam and Christianity, are mostly cooperating in the fight against religious radicalism, discrimination, and anti-religious sentiment. The mutual mistrust, hostility, and animosity that have marred Nigeria's past in addition to violence and bloodshed seem to have overshadowed the positive sides of contacts between Christians and Muslims. The study suggests that rather than placing blame, each religious tradition should focus more on fostering effective religious development. For this type of instruction to be effective, it may begin with religious authority and work its way down. First, this instruction will help one form a firm understanding of their own faith, which will subsequently enable them to adopt the proper perspective about it.

Pandangan Yusuf Qardawi dalam Kitab Daurul Qiyam Wal Akhlaq Fil Iqtishadil Islami Mengenai Etika Produksi, Konsumsi dan Distribusi dalam Upaya Membangun Kesadaran Bisnis Beretika

The term Islamic economics has existed since the religion of Islam emerged in the world. Yusuf alQardhawi described Islamic Economics as an economic system rooted in religious principles. According to him, this is a system inspired and regulated by Allah SWT, with goals and laws originating from His teachings. All economic activities, such as production, distribution, consumption, and international trade, are directed by divine principles and aim to gain God's approval. In an era of globalization that tends to ignore morals and ethics, Yusuf al-Qardhawi emphasizes the importance of Economic Ethics, which he considers to be the guardian of economic sustainability. This research uses a qualitative approach to explore and explain qualities and social aspects that cannot be measured quantitatively. The scientific method used is library research, which relies on data and information from various sources in the literature. From a production perspective, Islamic Economics encourages everyone to work diligently and compete to find work, because this is considered an obligation and honor, as well as the right of every individual. In the consumption aspect, the wise use of wealth is emphasized, remembering that ownership of wealth is not the main goal, but rather a means to enjoy God's gifts. In distribution, the main principles are freedom and justice. Freedom in this case rejects oppression that hampers the lives of ordinary people and controls their sources of sustenance. Justice is defined as appropriate placement in the position that it should be.

Chinese Muslims and Their Non-Muslim Families on Muamalat Fiqh Co-Existence (Ta’ayush)

Chinese Muslim converts in Malaysia often face dual rejection, viewed as traitors by their Chinese families and as outsiders by the Muslim communities. This study examines how these individuals navigate family conflicts while balancing their religious beliefs with Chinese Cultural heritage. Through qualitative semi structured interviews with 15 Chinese Muslims, three key findings emerged. Firstly, the Chinese Muslims feel disconnected from their Chinese original community due to their new identity, Secondly, they strive to preserve their Chinese cultural heritage while embracing their Muslim identity. Thirdly, they constantly negotiate their ethnic and religious identities especially with their non-Muslim families. Despite these challenges, the Chinese Muslims play a vital role as cultural bridges fostering understanding between the Muslim and non-Muslim communities. This implication is significant as their efforts align with the Islamic concept of Figh al ta’Ayush (peaceful co-existence), contributing to social harmony. This study concludes that Chinese Muslims while facing identity issues, significantly contribute to intercommunal understanding. Future studies could explore Chinese Muslim parents’ perception of Islam and their reasons for rejecting their children's conversion, proving further insights into these complex cultural dynamics.

Decoding India's Child Malnutrition Puzzle: A Multivariable Analysis Using a Composite Index.

This study examines the levels and predictors of malnutrition in Indian children under 5 years of age. Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure was applied to data from the India National Family Health Survey 2019-2021. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess the predictors. 52.59% of children experienced anthropometric failure. Child predictors of lower malnutrition risk included female gender (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 0.881) and average or large size at birth (AOR = 0.729 and 0.715, respectively, compared to small size). Higher birth order increased malnutrition odds (2nd-4th: AOR = 1.211; 5th or higher: AOR = 1.449) compared to firstborn. Maternal predictors of lower malnutrition risk included age 20-34 years (AOR = 0.806), age 35-49 years (AOR = 0.714) compared to 15-19 years, normal BMI (AOR = 0.752), overweight and obese BMI (AOR = 0.504) compared to underweight, and secondary or higher education vs. no education (AOR = 0.865). Maternal predictors of higher malnutrition risk included severe anemia vs. no anemia (AOR = 1.232). Protective socioeconomic factors included middle (AOR = 0.903) and rich wealth index (AOR = 0.717) compared to poor, and toilet access (AOR = 0.803). Children's malnutrition risk also declined with paternal education (primary: AOR = 0.901; secondary or higher: AOR = 0.822) vs. no education. Conversely, malnutrition risk increased with Hindu (AOR = 1.258) or Islam religion (AOR = 1.369) vs. other religions. Child malnutrition remains a critical issue in India, necessitating concerted efforts from both private and public sectors. A 'Health in All Policies' approach should guide public health leadership in influencing policies that impact children's nutritional status.

TRADISI SUMBANGAN PADA PESTA PERKAWINAN (Benang tipis antara respon resiprositas, adat - Hutang)

Traditions in society are very different and these activities are not just traditions but have become customs. Even for followers of the Islamic religion, these customs are no longer pure customs but have been decorated with strong religious values. So the sacred value of these traditions is completely different. One of the traditions that already has religious values ​​is Selametan wedding or walimah al ursy. Marriage itself is a life partnership between a man and a woman which is formally confirmed by law, namely juridical and mostly also religious according to the purposes of husband and wife and the law, and is carried out for the duration of his life according to the institution of marriage. To carry out this wedding celebration, relatives and neighbors usually flock to help or contribute in terms of thoughts, energy and logistics. The characteristics of wedding donations are a number of funds and goods in the form of money, gifts and basic necessities such as rice, sugar, cakes and others. Initially, these donations were mutually voluntary, but quite a few people found that the donated items became a deposit or debt. The research method used is normative Islamic law, the data source consists of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials. And in writing this scientific work it can be concluded that the tradition of donation in the Situbondo community is not purely in the form of giving or alms but rather tends towards debt. Because every time you give a donation, it will be recorded and at a later date it will be returned according to the records. Meanwhile, in Islamic law, helping in terms of donating is permissible and even prescribed. However, whether it is called a debt or not depends on the agreement at the beginning.

A History of Chinese Scholarship: Cantered on World Islam Religion Studies

The sorting out of the academic history of Islamic education abroad should start with the translation of foreign achievements and their introduction and analysis. Undoubtedly, the translation and annotation work of the Quran is the most important. The Quran is a fundamental classic of Islam and a fundamental work in Islamic research. Chinese translations are certainly helpful for this study. Since the 1920s, new translations have been continuously released around the world, and to this day, there are still new translations about to be published. To study the translation and annotation of the Quran, it is necessary to immediately study Islamic law. The research on Islamic jurisprudence in the Chinese academic community started relatively late and has a relatively weak foundation. At the beginning of the research, there were only a few translations that could represent the achievements of educational law research in China. There is no doubt that the sect is Shia and the second largest sect in Islam. In terms of academic research on Shia, Shia research has not received sufficient attention from the domestic academic community for a long time. After the Islamic Revolution in Iran, scholars published and translated works, as well as papers, on Shia studies. Since the 1990s, a large number of works on this topic have emerged. Since 2003, Shia has become a hot topic in the Middle East research center. The study of Sufism is the most unique in the study of Islamic ideologies. Research on Sufism in China can be said to have just begun. Sufism not only injected important spiritual vitality into the development and dissemination of Islam, but also had a lasting impact on its internal trends and movements since modern times. Therefore, Sufism and Islamic law are the two most important foundational topics in Islamic research. From the above achievements, it can be seen that there are several types of research on Sufism in China according to its nature. But the existing achievements are still in the initial stage of academic research and need to be greatly strengthened.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, there have been new changes in the research in this field, not only a number of new achievements have emerged, but also a relatively systematic disciplinary system has been formed. Furthermore, Jingtang Jiaoyu (religious education) as an important component of Islamic religious education in China, the initiation of scripture education was carried out by Hudengzhou, in Shaanxi during the Ming Dynasty. This education has gone through the early development of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, as well as before and after the Xinhai Revolution, and has a history of over 400 years. Jingtang Jiaoyu (religious education) is constantly improving at different stages of development, adapting to the trend of the times. However, since the 20th century, it has basically not been improved or developed, especially in the northwest region, where medieval conditions have been preserved and it is difficult to be accepted by the mainstream education system. In this paper, the research history of Islamic teaching in China by the Chinese academic community is taken as the research object, and a detailed introduction is given to the evolution of this research field.

Research on the Development of Architectural Conditions for Civil Repairs in Afghanistan

During the formation of fidalism, the culture of urbanization, which was considered the necessary link in the slave society, decreased, but the Centers of Buddhist culture in Afghanistan continued to operate even after the Arab conquests in the 7th century AD. At the beginning of the 5th century, from the depths of Central Asia, the Gochhanda Yaftali tribes invaded the territory of Afghanistan, which eventually led to the extinction of the Kushan Empire. Coexistence and interaction with neighbors in a peaceful and sometimes non-peaceful way of agricultural units with nomadic tribes is one of the main features of the historical development of the people of Afghanistan and Asia. By settling in the lands of Afghanistan and accepting the local culture and enriching it with their tribal traditions, the nomadic tribes helped a lot in the emergence of the process of a new social and cultural nature in the country. The conquests of the Arab caliphs, which began in the seventh century, and as a result of the interaction of their culture with the cultural traditions of the local people, led to the creation of a new culture. And Islamic religion replaced Buddhism and other religious beliefs. Buildings for worship were built called mosques, Eidgah’s, schools and caravanserais.

The Ghaznavid dynasties (10th-12th centuries) and the Ghurids, the "king of the mountains" in the 12th century, had a significant impact on the history of the early Middle Ages. In the engineering of the cities of the Ghaznavid period, the buildings of the city (Ghazni, Qala-e-Bast, Lashkargah) and also in the engineering of most of the buildings of the Ghurid dynasty (a minaret in the mountainous region of Jam), the ideological characteristics of that era have been expressed in the language of engineering. In the modern era, after the wars and the destruction of cities and places in the country, the migrations that took place as a result of the civil wars and the return to the country, brought different cultures to the country. Also, by mixing new cultures with local traditions, it caused cities and places to take a new shape. Thus, it influenced the development of Afghan architecture and the growth of modern architecture. This will be of particular importance with the combination of local architectural culture and traditions in Afghanistan.
