Kontribusi Semiotika dalam Memahami Bahasa al-Quran
Get PDFThe texts of the Qur??n may be understood as a collection of symbols, and cannot be interpreted in isolation from the context as their background. If semiotics is a science of symbols, then the texts of the Qur??n must be the fertile object for the study of semiotics. In the science of semiotics, texts are deemed to have no end in themselves, meaning that we must not acknowledge them as having ended or being finalized at some point. Some philosophers such as Jacques Derrida have underscored this, and maintained that language is a metaphor. A meaning that we assume resulted from our use of language is in fact the product of the metaphorical exchange. Hence, a meaning will change as soon as the subject of the metaphorical exchange changes. Meaning in other words is both dynamic and relational because it is based on an endless source
Pandangan Santri Mahad Aly tentang Pengarus-utamaan Gender di Pesantren Salafiyah Syafiiyah Sukorejo, Situbondo, Jawa Timur
Get PDFGender discourse does present particular problems within Muslim societies mainly for three reasons, (1) the strong presence of patriarchal culture within Muslim society (2) the strong literal tendency in interpreting religious texts, and (3) the strong sense of animosity toward the Western culture. There is a few however among Muslims in Indonesia who are willing to negotiate with gender issues not as a discourse but as a practical principles that should rather be applied in our daily life. For this group of people patriarchal culture and literal interpretation of religious texts are problematic. This group thinks that the idea of gender equality is an inherent part of Islam and must therefore be accepted. Among this few is the students of Ma?had Aly in the East Javanese town of Situbondo. These students are concerned with implementation issues of gender equality rather than with debating this problem as a discourse. This paper explores the ideas of these students and relates them with the general debate that takes place on the national level concerning the issue of gender equality
Upaya Pemberdayaan Tanah Wakaf Produktif bagi Kesejahteraan Ummat
Get PDFThis paper is aimed at discussing the notion of endowment as a means to increase the economic prosperity of the Muslim society in Indonesia. It argues that the Muslims of Indonesia have enough endowed properties but lack a proper management in running them. This leads to the misuse of the properties on the one hand, and to the failure to achieve the proposed aims for which these properties are endowed. This paper suggests ways to run the properties properly and the reasonable objectives for which the endowment may be aimed at
Interaksi Power dan Knowledge dalam Konstruksi Mazhab Fiqih dalam Perspektif Historis
Get PDFThis paper deals with the development of the term madhhab in the history of Islamic law. As a vital concept in Islamic law, the meaning of madhhab has undergone several changes. At first, it was related only to a personal opinion of a mujtahid. Then it was related to a view of ulama belonging to a particular school of thought, and finally it is understood as a doctrinal opinion with distinctive legal concepts and methodologies controlled by the authority of the ulama who occupy the axis of the madhhab hierarchy. Some madhhabs have gone extinct due to their irrelevant concepts, but some others managed to survive due to their ability to make a ?great synthesis? between reason and revelation, text and context. Some of these surviving madhhabs have even become the official madhhab of a Muslim state and made obvious contribution in the formation of Islamic law in that particular country. It is to this issue that this paper is mainly concerned with
Sejarah dan Dinamika Sosial Fiqih Reformis dan Fiqih Tradisionalis di Indonesia
Get PDFThis paper is aimed at describing the history and the social dynamics of the reformist and traditionalist fiqh in Indonesia. It first tries to show that since the 13th century Islam in Indonesia has largely been Sufi-oriented. It was only fairly recently that Islam in this country came into contact with figh especially after the return of Indonesian students from the Middle East toward the end of the 19th century. The puritan and reformist movements that prevailed in the Middle East at the time especially those under the patronage of Muhammad Abdul Wahhab and Jamaluddin al-Afghani inspired Muslims of this country to launch a similar reform in Indonesia. This reform movement received a somewhat strong opposition from the traditionalists since the beginning of the 20th century, hence the tension between the two currents of thought. This paper pays particular attention to this dynamic tension in the context of the contemporary historical and legal development in Indonesia
Menguak Konsep Kebersandingan Fethullah Gulen dan Asimilasi Budaya Tariq Ramadhan
Get PDFThe wave of immigration of Muslims to European countries has brought with it the serious consequences as to how these Muslims should adapt culturally and religiously to the entirely different circumstances. Some Muslim intellectuals ?like Fethullah Gulensuggested that Muslims should maintain the cultural co-existence in a way that would not endanger their religious tradition while at the same time bring a state of peace both for themselves and for the communities they live in. Tariq Ramadhan in the meantime suggested that Muslims be committed to what he calls the cultural assimilation whereby they put aside their cultural upbringing from their country of origin and assimilate fully into the cultural live of Europe. Hence, this paper is about the analysis of the cultural dilemma that Muslims face in Europe by referring to the thought of Gulen and Ramadhan on the issue at hand. Although the context of the paper is limited to Europe, the content of the analysis is presented in such a way that it may also be relevant to similar problems faced by Muslims in different cultural and social settings
Dialektika Induksi dan Deduksi dalam Pemikiran Hukum Islam
Get PDFModern science requires that dialectic between induction and deduction should take place so that development of knowledge and its promotion may be acquired. In modern sciences in other words, such dialectic constitutes the very condition for the creation and invention of new theories, discoveries and fields of knowledge. This paper is trying to argue that as a science, fiqh in one way or another has appropriated a similar route of using these two methods of induction and deduction in its process to extrapolate religious laws and rules.We argue that in fiqh induction produces norms that may serve as the foundation for the deductive method. We contend that induction is a general rule extracted directly from the first source of Islamic law, namely revelation, whereas deduction is the legal principles (alqawa?id al-fiqhiyyah) that the ulama formulated on the basis of their understanding on the contents of revelation
Signifikansi Ilmu-ilmu Al-Quran untuk Pengembangan Ilmu Dakwah
Get PDFThis paper first of all believes that the concept and theories of the science of the Quran may be appropriated to develop the science and method of dakwah. The old method of dakwah ?as it were- is concerned primarily with how the teachings of Islam and its tenets are to be propagated. The new method in the meantime one that we prefer- should rather focus on how these teachings may be understood by the objects of the dakwah. Hence understanding is the key. The paper further holds that these two methods old and new- are in fact interrelated and that their foundational legitimacies are to be found in the Quran. This paper will slightly touch on this. But a great portion of it will pay attention to the idea of the appropriation of the science of the Quran by the science of dakwah, one that we believe may open up a new horizon in dakwah activities and lead to a moderate, realistic and idealistic as opposed to liberalistic and fundamentalistform of dakwah
Konsep Syeikh Abdurrauf Singkel tentang Kematian dalam Naskah Lubb al-Kashf wa al-Bayan
Get PDFThe esoteric nature of Indonesian Islam during the 15th ? 17th centuries makes it possible for the debate on eschatological issues including the idea of death to flourish. Abdurrauf Singkel was among the Sufis to have lived in this dynamic century and was engaged in the debate on the issue of death. This paper is aimed at discussing his views about death particularly by referring to his Lubb al-Kashf wa al-Bayan. We discover that Singkel?s treatment of death is related to such concepts of body, soul, salvation and human desire. We also find out that his views found a logical consonance with that of the Javanese manuscript called Serat Wirid idajat Djatinamun. Here human desire and destiny is symbolized in color; red symbolizes human?s anger, black his evil deeds, yellow his mystical attitude, and white his happiness and inner tranquility. The basic argument of the two books is that control of one?s desire during his/her lifetime will help determine his/her destiny in life to come
Kritik Ibn Jawzi terhadap Ulama dalam Kitab Talbis Iblis
Get PDFIn this paper we are concerned with elaborating the critiques of Ibn Jawzi against the ulama of his time in his Talbis Iblis. By the ulama Ibn Jawzi means the learned in any field of knowledge such as Qur??nic reading (qira?ah), prophetic tradition (hadith), jurisprudence (fiqh), language, letter, and the art of speech (khitabah). We will analyze the motif behind Ibn Jawzi?s warning to the ulama that they can ?by virtue of their knowledge- be manipulated by the Satan. Not all knowledge is therefore good. Hence, we are interested in exposing the nature of knowledge in Ibn Jawzi?s concept and what are the kinds of knowledge that may lead to Satanic manipulation. The paper will also discuss Ibn Jawzi?s advice to the ulama so that they may not fall victim in the trap of the Satan
