However, there is no denying that various parties such as government agencies, non-governmental organizations, private agencies and even individuals, each have played various roles in helping the government deal with this drug addiction problem. Academics, psychologists, counsellors and Islamic psychospiritual therapists are among those who contributed to this issue from theoretical and contextual aspects, including in the development of scale-based assessment instruments to drug addicts. Past studies explained that there is a close link between spiritual aridity and drug addiction. Recognizing the spiritual need to address drug addiction, this article discusses the Islamic Psychospiritual Scale (ZATIP) instrument for drug addicts to help researchers measure the addicts’ spiritual level and condition. This instrument is developed through a phase of validity and reliability employing two methods, first, expert verification using interview method and thematic qualitative analysis; and method of questionnaire on Content Validity Index (CVI) and statistical analysis. The second method involved a pilot test of the instrument on 25 drug addicts and applying statistical analysis. The results of the study found that the Islamic Psychospiritual Scale (ZATIP) instrument has a high value of validity and reliability and is suitable for use in assessing the spiritual level of individuals, especially drug addicts.","PeriodicalId":53770,"journal":{"name":"Afkar-Jurnal Akidah & Pemikiran Islam-Journal of Aqidah & Islamic Thought","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80651374","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}

It is widely used in various fields of knowledge, including in Islamic studies. Nonetheless, there are disputes among the Muslim community regarding this subject derived from scholars’ disagreement between accepting and rejecting it. This polemic has created a state of disharmony within the circle of discussion through the efforts of defending their judgments. Through the content analysis method, this article examines the attitude of the scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama‘ah towards the science of logic. This article also studies the influence of logic in Islamic discourse to get a comprehensive overview. This study shows that logic holds an important position in Islamic thoughts considering that it is utilized to defend Islam and to strengthen the beliefs. Thus, scholarly judgments that uphold the study of logic as a must and required are considered more accurate and also compatible with current demand.","PeriodicalId":53770,"journal":{"name":"Afkar-Jurnal Akidah & Pemikiran Islam-Journal of Aqidah & Islamic Thought","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83057541","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 present study attempts to examine his thought on the emancipation of women and gender equality, since not many Malay scholars focus on a similar issue during his time. This paper discusses on the development of his idea through magazines and novels since the 1920s, which later gave impact to the Malay society from cultural, social, political as well as religious aspects. This study also highlights several factors which might influenced his thought by discovering his educational background and analysing his different methods of arguments applied in his writings. By using qualitative approach, the study concludes that Syed Syeikh Ahmad al-Hadi has integrated both Islamic and modern perspectives in his writings, particularly concerning women’s issues such as on the emancipation of women and gender equality. Although some of his ideas seem controversial, it was among the earliest effort to propose a change to Malay traditions, where women were often given a limited role in society, for they only had major roles in domestic affairs.","PeriodicalId":53770,"journal":{"name":"Afkar-Jurnal Akidah & Pemikiran Islam-Journal of Aqidah & Islamic Thought","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84275339","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}

Apart from knowledge of the subject matter itself, much emphasis was also given to mastering its prerequisites in the fields of grammar, rhetoric and logic (al-manṭiq); collectively known as the ‘sciences of the tools of knowledge’ (‘ilm al-ālāt). In their discussions of logic, Muslims have developed a systematic foundational framework of knowledge mapping known as the ‘ten fundamentals’ or al-mabādi’ al-‘asharah and subsequently adapted it in the learning of the various sciences. Therefore, this paper attempts to discuss the significance of this framework in conceptualizing the epistemic aims of learning in the Islamic tradition. Discussions include its origins and development, functions and adaptations throughout the various sciences, as well as an assessment of its role in conceptualizing the epistemic aims of learning in Islam based on the relevant primary and secondary sources. It is found that the practical utility of this framework does not only correspond with the overall epistemic aims of learning in Islam but is also applicable within the contemporary settings of Islamic education in the digital era.","PeriodicalId":53770,"journal":{"name":"Afkar-Jurnal Akidah & Pemikiran Islam-Journal of Aqidah & Islamic Thought","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81983361","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}

Nowadays, human beings are less aware of the environmental destruction that increasingly causing harm to all. The problem arises from people’s abandonment in manifesting the infinite meaning of Allah’s attributes (al-Asma’ al-Husna) in daily practice. In fact, Allah the Most Merciful has fulfilled all the needs of His creatures to the very least. However, we do not take into account the importance of implementing the meaning of al-Asma’ al-Husna to make any progress in all aspects of life. Therefore, Said Nursi was a leading Muslim scholar of the 20th century who strived to give greater understanding and explanation to the importance of manifestation of the God’s Divine Name for the people towards creating awareness of environmental sustainability. This article focuses on the values and ethics related to environmental sustainability from the Bediuzzaman Said Nursi’s perspective in Risale-i Nur. Therefore, the researchers have read the Risale-i Nur inductively to capture Said Nursi’s thought on environmental sustainability. In conclusion, the results of the study found that a good understanding towards (i) the purpose of Allah's creation, (ii) the meaning of al-Asma’ al-Husna and its manifestation, (iii) and the importance of ethics or behaviour towards creatures, can help maintain environmental sustainability and survival of biodiversity.","PeriodicalId":53770,"journal":{"name":"Afkar-Jurnal Akidah & Pemikiran Islam-Journal of Aqidah & Islamic Thought","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82919818","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}
