Language and Typology of Dakwahist Islamic Fundamentalism : The Study of Arabic Loanwords in The Religious Book of Jamaah Tablig
The study on the extrinsic language and its relation with religious system is important to undertake as it has strong intrinsic language paradigm. This paper found that there is a gap in the language research in response to a socio-cultural challenge. This paper studies the use of language and Islamic fundamentalism system in the religious book of Jamaah Tablig. The result shows that there is a correlation between them. The Arabic loanwords used by Jamaah Tablig in their preaching activities indicate that their religious system is fundamentalist. This paper uses the hermeneutical approach to study this topic. Next, this paper suggests that this group use the contextual and socio-cultural elements of the Quran, and do not use solely literal approach to the study of Islam (the Quran and the Muhammad tradition/Sunnah).DOI: 10.15408/insaniyat.v1i1.434
Dirāsah ‘an al-ghazw al-thaqāfiy wa al-hazīmah al-nafsiyyah

Although Indonesia reached its independence on 7 August 1945, this country still witnesses other types of colonization in terms of information and communication technology, which have led particularly its Muslims to neglect their ‘Islamic identity’ and generally its people to neglect their predecessors’ efforts to obtain the freedom of this country.DOI: 10.15408/insaniyat.v1i1.438
Ahammiyah al-Balagah al-’Arabiyah fi tafsir al-Qur’an
The Qur’an was revealed in Arabic. This holy book has two main objectives: as God’s miracle and as an evidence of the prophethood of His last messenger, Muhammad. As a miracle, all of the Qur’anic verses are God’s guidance. The guidance and miracle of the Qur’an is traceable in its balaghoh (rhetoric). Understanding this rhetoric will guide people to know about what to do or not to do according to this book. To learn the Qur’an as guidance from its rhetoric, people are to live on their lives according to the Qur’anic teachings. The balaghoh is a foundation to grasp and reveal the meaning of the Qur’an.DOI: 10.15408/insaniyat.v1i1.450
