{"title":"The Problem of Religious Guidance among Indian Muslims: A Forward-Thinking Proposal","authors":"Javed Akhatar","doi":"10.24952/fitrah.v9i2.10311","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24952/fitrah.v9i2.10311","url":null,"abstract":"The Indian Muslim community faces a paradox, marked by the presence of religious leaders without a clear path forward. The article identifies a lack of guidance, particularly in matters of faith, as numerous Ulema offer conflicting fatwas, stemming from a flawed Ifta methodology. Tracing the historical evolution of fatwa issuance, the 19th-century shift in India, influenced by the East India Company's trade-focused policies, led to an abundance of independent Ulema. This article explores the historical evolution of Ifta in Islam, with a focus on India. It reviews the transition to formal fatwa institutions, compares practices across regions, and proposes centralizing fatwa authority through a high central council in India, offering recommendations for reform. The absence of a centralized authority for fatwa issuance in India results in a chaotic scenario.To address this, the author proposes a structured solution: establishing a high central council of diverse Ulema and intellectuals. This council would delegate responsibilities for religious and social issues to ensure uniformity in fatwa decisions nationally. However, the article underscores that councils alone are ineffective without legal enforcement authority. This article will show: 1) Abundance of Guidance and Contradictory Fatwas; 2) Evolution of Fatwa Issuance in Islamic History; 3) Current State of Fatwa Issuance and Recommendations for Reform. Additionally, it advocates reevaluating the concepts of 'Dar al-Islam' and 'Dar al-Harb' in the context of India's identity. The author suggests a Parliament-recognized Council to issue fatwas, aligning with democratic principles and reflecting shared ownership among India's diverse Muslim population.","PeriodicalId":513459,"journal":{"name":"FITRAH: Jurnal Kajian Ilmu-ilmu Keislaman","volume":"27 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140501316","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}

Despite the overarching goal of instilling virtue, there remains a recurring issue of insufficient motivation among students when it comes to PAI content. In response, this study investigates the potential effectiveness of applying the Dick and Carey instructional model within the context of GIS Prima Insani Elementary School. Employing a qualitative case study methodology, the research highlights the Dick and Carey model's systematic and organized approach. This instructional model emphasizes transparent steps that contribute to the clarity of learning outcomes, encouraging students to apply acquired knowledge in their daily lives—aligned with the broader objective of Islamic religious education. The findings suggest that the Dick and Carey model is well-suited for educational settings, offering a clear direction for both educators and students and fostering a sense of recognition and support. The structured nature of the model contributes to heightened commitment among students, ultimately enhancing motivation and facilitating optimal learning outcomes. In conclusion, the study underscores the significance of implementing effective instructional models, particularly the Dick and Carey approach, in Islamic religious education. By nurturing motivation and aligning with established standards, this model emerges as a valuable tool for educators, contributing to an overall enhanced educational experience. The findings emphasize the importance of adopting innovative approaches to address challenges in Islamic religious education, paving the way for future research and improvements in pedagogical practices","PeriodicalId":513459,"journal":{"name":"FITRAH: Jurnal Kajian Ilmu-ilmu Keislaman","volume":"67 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140513870","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 integration of modern education into Dayah has sparked a dynamic contestation between tradition and modernity, reflecting broader social and political changes in Aceh. This study also emphasized Dayah's resilience and continued influence on post-conflict reconciliation and contemporary religious practices in Aceh. Meanwhile, this research employed qualitative research with a type of literature review. The findings showed that the transformation of Dayah has formed an integrated educational system that combines traditional Islamic teachings with modern education, fostering the development of science and technology. The Dayah system has successfully cultivated a society with a profound, comprehensive understanding of Islam and has contributed to the cultivation of tolerant individuals by alienating students from radical thought patterns.","PeriodicalId":513459,"journal":{"name":"FITRAH: Jurnal Kajian Ilmu-ilmu Keislaman","volume":"65 1-4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140514470","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}
