MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION, THE FRAME OF LEARNING ISLAMIC STUDIES TOWARDS ISLAMIC RELIGION TEACHERS BILINGUALLY
Unity in Diversity as Indonesian motto turns into a saying which unifies the nation. Indonesia proudly presents many islands, races, ethnic groups, cultures, and also traditional languages. This symbolizes multiculturalism that has survived in the motherland.
Generally, an Indonesian applies traditional and Indonesian languages in daily life and learns English at school or course. Some have practiced other foreign languages such as Arabic as well since it becomes the language of Al-Qur’an. However, English is usually taught as the compulsory subject in every level of disciplines. English belongs to any states of the world.
In learning Islam, human being needs to learn and use English. Most references of Islamic studies are written particularly in Arabic and globally in English. Dealing with this issue, a teacher, in this case an Islamic religion teacher as a figure who educates students, should learn Islamic terms in bilingual versions beside his/her own competence.
The teacher is expected to have not only multi-skills but also multicultural education. Having diverse students from multiethnic society probably occurs. Afterward, multicultural education nowadays is being a part of the school curriculum and made a compulsory school subject. It offers the prospect for both the teacher and students to learn inclusion materials that contain fundamental principles, such as democracy, humanism, and pluralism or inclusive religious values.
All of those principles could be handed in Islamic Education Material Development Based Multicultural in order to build an inclusive religion at school. The materials are as follows (Salamah, 2011): First, the material of the Koran, in determining the choice of verses. Second, the jurisprudence material, can be extended to study fiqh siyasa (government). Third, the material character of the studies focus on the good-bad behavior against God, Apostle, fellow humans, ourselves, as well as the environment, critical to laying the foundations of nationhood. Lastly, SKI material, material that is rooted in historical fact and reality.
Furthermore, a kind of TV program is also possibly to be a medium to introduce multicultural education to children. They as one of cartoon mania on TV, for instance, know how to enjoy watching their favorite cartoon series (Upin & Ipin) while unconsciously learning the multicultural education in their early ages. Otherwise, Darwis Dance (collaboration of a Turkish dance and Javanese Gamelans) grows to be one more alternative approach in learning Islam and multicultural education.

الوقف الإسلامي: دراسة تحليلية في تدبير الوقف في المملكة الأردنية
لم نقف على وقت معين لتاريخ نشأت الوقف قبل الإسلام, فأول وقف ديني في الإسلا هو مسجد قباء. وأول وقف خيري عرف في الإسلام هو وقف النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لسبع بساتين بالمدينة كانت لرجل يهودي إسمه مخيريق قتل على رأسه إثنين وثلاثين شهرا من مهاجر رسول الله صاى الله عليه وسلم وهو يقاتل مع المسلمين في واقعة أخد. أن الوقف عنذ جمهور الفقهاءهي حبس العين على حكم ملك الله تعالى، والتصدق بالمنفعة على جهة من جهات البرّ ابتداء أو انتهاء. وللوقف خصائص كثيرة وسوف نقتصر فى أمر هذه الخصائص على ما له صلة بالاستثمار فى الوقف واستثماره، ومن أهم هذه الخصائص الوقف هي: أولا، أن الوقف شعيرة إسلامية لأن الوقف من أنواع الصدقات الجارية التى يتقرب بها الإنسان لربه. ثانيا، أن الوقف حبس الأصل, وهذا يعنى بلغة الاستثمار أن إنشاء الوقف فى حد ذاته عملية استثمار وبلغة المحاسبة أنه مال غير قابل للإنفاق. ثالثا، أن الوقف تسبيل الثمرة، وهذا يعني أنه يجب أن يتم استثمار مال الوقف للحصول على الغلة. رابعا، الملكية، إن ملكية عين الوقف مختلف فيها بين الفقهاء، وأيا كان التصور لملكية الوقف فإن المتفق عليه عدم التصرف فى عين الوقف بالبيع أو الهبة، كما أن الغلة بالاتفاق ملكاً للمستحقين. خامسا، كون الوقف مالاً، والمال فقها واقتصادا كل شىء نافع، وهذا النفع قد يكون بزوال المال بالانتفاع به وهذا لا يجوز وقفه اتفاقا
ISLAMIC SCIENCES INTEGRATION
This article tries to show that there is “a sciences dichotomy” interpreted by Muslim today. Many Muslims consider that sciences (secular knowledge) and Islamic studies are different not only in formal object-material and research method but also the role. They stand on their own area. This study focuses on how and what to integrate those two knowledges. The method of this research is library research by analyzing some literatures such as books and journal articles. The results of this study shows that first, the dichotomy between Islamic knowledge and secular sciences causes Muslim scholar try to islamize or integrate the two both since it affects positively to life. The second is the unity of between those two kinds of sciences tends to integrated interconnection and refers to ontologies perspectives, epistemology, and axiology. Third, Integrated-interconnection between those two has three domains: Integrative-Interdependence, Integrative-Complement, and Integrative-Qualificative
ISLAMIC RELIGIOSITY AND DEVELOPMENT OF ZAKAT INSTITUTION
Most researchers have concluded that religiosity is a strong belief ofthe individual in carrying out the religious orders properly. It can bealso the basis for applying the values of religion as a whole to achievehappiness in this world and hereafter. Meanwhile, religiosity also makesa positive contribution in the advancement and development of sociallife. In the view of Islam, religiosity provides individuals an importantrole in implementing the commitment to run all the basic principles ofIslam. One of the commitments in the Islamic religiosity is an obligationto redistribute wealth in the form of Zakah, to purify the wealth andalso create fairness in the distribution of wealth and income. We haveunderstood that the distribution of Zakah has two important dimensions,the first relating to compliance in carrying out the commands of Allah(Hablumminallah) and the second creates a sense of fairness andconcern among fellow Muslims (Hablumminannas). Specifically in thesocial dimension (Hablumminannas), the distribution of Zakah can bean important factor in the process of social and economic developmentof society. Therefore, in this paper we seeks to describe how religiosity can contribute to development, focusing especially on the role of Islamic religiosity in the development of Zakah institutions to improvethe welfare of Muslims.

RESPONSE TO THE PROHIBITION OF ZAKAT (TITHE) COLLECTION BY PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS IN ACEH, INDONESIA
Purpose – This paper aims to analyze the response to the prohibition on zakat (tithe) collection by private organizations in Aceh Indonesia. Qanun (Islamic regional law) No. 10/2007 explicitly prohibited private zakat organizations (Lembaga Amil Zakat (LAZ)) from collecting zakat as it is included in the government budget. However, there is no sanction for incompliance and private zakat organizations seek other funds for
their activities.
Design/Methodology/Approach – This paper is based on primary data from interviews in June 2013. Three private LAZs were interviewed on this specific case.
Findings – This paper gives facts that each LAZ responded differently to the regulation. They still conduct the social activities without taking zakat as their source of funds.
Practical Implications – This regulation caused uncertainty for LAZ; besides, they have to avoid what is prohibited in the regulation. However, this condition created some creativities of LAZ in order to survive and to service the community by promoting good programs.
Originality/Value – This may be claimed as the first research on the area of prohibition on zakat (tithe) collection in Aceh Indonesia.
