Since the reformation era, conservative Islamic movements have gained wide freedom to spread Islamic political ideology such as the idea of upholding Islamic law. This was clearly seen in the 2017 Jakarta Gubernatorial Election and 2019 Presidential Election, where the conservative Islamic movement voiced practical political aspirations by involving the role of religion. The case that happened to Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) who was suspected of committing blasphemy at the end of 2016, turned into a protest movement that held “Aksi Bela Islam I, II, III” (Action for Defending Islam I, II, III) which was able to mobilize all elements of religious organizations in Indonesia. This movement is also supported by the role of social media which adds to the massive Islamic populism movement to promote the enforcement of Islamic law through the political stage. This is a qualitative research that prioritizes bibliographic sources. The results of this study indicate that the voices of Muslims who are involved in the “Action to Defend Islam” add to the success of the conservatism process which has a dichotomy of political interests to realize religious authoritarianism by using the Qur’anic verses. However, this study also explains the characteristics of the attitudes of leaders in the history of Islamic civilization who uphold egalitarianism that does not conflict with the democratic system because the responsibility of a leader is to create prosperity and justice for all mankind.","PeriodicalId":31659,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Ilmiah Islam Futura","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46137131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper reveals that the ethics and process of genetic engineering are prescribed in the hadith, illuminating the contextual debates of its time. Issues of genetics that arise in the discourse of human existence, particularly regarding sex and skin color, show a contestation of values related to the position of genetic factors as undeniable. Scientific development provides answers to the increasingly complex and contestatory discourse on genetics and necessitates a paradigm shift in the Muslim community, which often places hadith as a believed and practiced textual truth","PeriodicalId":31659,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Ilmiah Islam Futura","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47297759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The salafi school invites them to return to the Al-Qur'an and hadith, where hadiths are only understood textually and in their sermons the salafi scholars openly attack Islamic boarding school scholars. ? How is the resistance carried out by Islamic boarding school scholars to salafi preaching, especially in understanding hadith? What is the influence that occurred on the implementation of Fiqh by the people in Aceh and North Sumatra Medan? This research is qualitative, namely a way of research and understanding that is based on how to investigate environmental conditions and community problems. The method of qualitative research is usually stated as a naturalistic research method because the research is carried out when the circumstances are as they are, also known as the ethnographic method. The approach used is an anthropological approach. To get the data, structural analysis, historical analysis, and ideological criticism were carried out. Based on the results of the research, it can be seen that the proselytizing of the Salafi sect which is carried out by attacking Islamic boarding school scholars openly, aims to really practice shari'ah which has the basis of Rasulullah SAW. Because they think that the Islamic boarding school scholars have left the Sunnh of Rasulullah SAW, so if it is not sunnah, don't do it because it will enter into bid'ah acts. However, the method adopted by the Salafi sect has actually departed from the provisions of the Koran itself, which wants da'wah to be carried out gently. Islamic boarding schools/dayah scholars should show their resistance to the salafi school (wahabi), because the salafi school is wrong in understanding hadith, because it only relies on textual understanding. Whereas hadith as the second source of Islamic law must be understood correctly, both textually and contextually, so that the messages of the Messenger of Allah through hadith, especially in interpreting the verses of the Koran which are still common, reach the community correctly. Salafi da'wah carried out both in Aceh and in North Sumatra has not had an impact on the community in practicing fiqh as expected by the salafi sect, because the community still commemorates Islamic holidays and understands hadith based on the Shafi'i school of thought. It is hoped that the salafi sect will carry out da'wah in ways that are gentle and willing to communicate in two directions, so that the messages to be conveyed can be accepted by the community. It is hoped that Islamic boarding schools/dayah scholars will maintain communication with the Salafi school, so that divisions can be avoided in an effort to maintain unity among fellow Muslims.

The issue of happiness is closely connected to the meaning of life and its ultimate outcome and purpose. The modern Muslim philosopher Muhammad Hossein Tabatabai discussed the nature of happiness at length. In his view, human beings instinctively strive to attain happiness or the ultimate good which can only be achieved through nearness to God. Therefore, true happiness requires the believer to commit righteous deeds and avoid sinful acts. This study follows a philosophical-Sufi approach and uses a descriptive-analytical method to examine the nature of happiness, the relationship between happiness, goodness and pleasure according to Tabatabai. In line with Islamic thought, true and lasting happiness can only be attained in the Hereafter, and happiness in this life, no matter how acutely and deeply felt, is merely a shadow of the true happiness of the believers who have attained God’s permission to enter Paradise.

This phenomenon occurred not only in the Western world but also in the Eastern and Islamic worlds. One of them was the criminal law contained in the Banten Law (UUB), which was implemented in the Banten sultanate between the 18th and 19th centuries. Islamic criminal law in the form of qişaş and hudûd sanctions was no longer applied in Banten, but was replaced with more humane fines or diyat sanctions. Was the criminal law reform in the sultanate of Banten influenced by developments in Western law? One of the explanations given in the UUB was that the sultan of Banten employed the view of the Maliki school of thought, which allowed the ruler the right to impose takzir on criminal cases that had been resolved by Islamic law sanctions. The legal case for using diyať sanctions instead of qišaš and hudûd punishments was more substantial if takzir punishment was employed. This study used data in the form of UUB manuscript (single text) with the code number LOr 5598. The legal texts in UUB were analyzed using a legal social history approach.

The values of religious moderation consist of four points, namely national commitment, tolerance, anti-radicalism, and accommodative to local culture. The direction to internalize the four values of religious moderation is also played by the Anak Jalanan At-Tamur Islamic Boarding School, Bandung. This article aims to reveal the role of the Anak Jalanan At-Tamur Islamic Boarding School in internalizing the values of religious moderation to students. This article uses qualitative research methods that are field research. The research data were obtained from two sources, namely field data sources and library data sources. Data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and documentaries. The data analysis techniques used are data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that success in internalizing the values of religious moderation to students could be seen from the indicators or values of religious moderation. The four indicators (values) of religious moderation are reflected in the routine activities and attitudes of students of the Anak Jalanan At-Tamur Islamic Boarding School. Commitment to nationalism, tolerance, anti-radicalism and accommodativeness to local culture is imprinted in the personalities of the students of the Anak Jalanan At-Tamur Islamic Boarding School. This is also due to two things: firstly, interfaith dialogue events are often held and secondly, the leader of the Anak Jalanan At-Tamur Islamic Boarding School who has a broad and open view and emphasizes morality in his education.","PeriodicalId":31659,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Ilmiah Islam Futura","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43783928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As stated by Islamic teachings, Christians do not regard God to be One since they believe in the Trinity (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). Within the national state, however, Muslims and Christians coexist, work together, and assist one another. Conflicts of interest in coexistence might emerge as a result of religious differences. This current study is library research using qualitative descriptive analysis. The data used were secondary data in the form of books written by Sheikh Sayyid Thanthawi, Mufti of the Arab Republic of Egypt, as well as other relevant books. This research found that from Sayyid Thanthawi's viewpoint, a Muslim is permitted to donate to the construction of a church. Sayyid Thanthawi's Ijtihad is moderate since it considers the greater benefit and fosters harmony among religious communities, without ignoring the demands of the Qur'anic text. The ijtihad approach employed is the maslahah theory, which takes into account the benefits and harm that would be caused by the Fatwa's issuing. The implication of this ijtihad is the establishment of concord and peace between Muslims and Christians in Egypt. However, some Egyptian religious scholars restrict donations to church construction, arguing that it is the same as donating to the development of gambling businesses and nightclubs.","PeriodicalId":31659,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Ilmiah Islam Futura","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49266253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response to such an issue, this research aims to investigate the construction of CP’s interpretation, which highlights the authenticity of the Qur’an. Qualitative content and thematic analyses and the framing approach developed by William A. Gamson were employed. Findings suggest that the representation of CP’s understanding of the Qur’an verses uses a decontextualization approach. Also, the vast knowledge of the Arabic language and literary translations further strengthen the narratives to convince the public of the allegations. However, instead of considering the historical context in understanding the scientific meaning of the Qur’an, this Christian apologist uses literal meaning as a framing device. This phenomenon has shown that cross-theological debates only provoke persistent inter-religious hatred and resentment.
