    KONSEP TANAZZULAT MENURUT AHMAD AL-SAWI (STUDI ATAS KITAB HASYIYAH AL-SAWI ‘ALA TAFSIR AL-JALALAIN)

    No full text
    Tafsir merupakan hasil pemahaman atau penjelasan sorang mufasir terhadap al-Qur’an yang dilakukan menggunakan metode atau pendekatan tertentu. Karenanya. Tafsir menjadi suatu bagian terpenting di dalam kajian al-Qur’an yang sudah dilakukan dari masa ke masa. Tanazzulat, yaitu suatu model komunikasi Allah kepada hambaNya. Selanjutnya di antara tokoh yang menekuni bidang tanazzulat sebagai komunikasi Allah kepada hambaNya adalah Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Sawi dalam kitab tafsirnya yang berjudul “Hasyiyah al-Sawi ala Tafsir al-Jalalain”. Maka dengan demikian, sangat penting untuk mengetahui apa dan bagaimana cara kerja konsep tanazzulat yang digunakan Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Sawi dalam kitab tafsir Hasyiyah al-Sawi ala Tafsir al-Jalalain dan apa yang melater belakangi beliau beliau menulis kitab tersebut. Adapun penelitian yang dilakukan adalah dengan menggunakan jenis penelitian studi pustaka (library research) dengan metode analisis kualitatif yatu dengan menelaah seluruh data yang tersedia dari berbagai sumber, baik itu primer maupun sekunder. Adapun sumber primer yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah karya Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Sawi yaitu “Hasyiyah al-Sawi ala Tafsir al-Jalalain”, yang kemudian didukung dengan sumber-sumber sekunder diantaranya buku yang berjudul “Tekstualitas al-Qur’an: Kritik terhadap Ulumul Qur’an ” dengan judul asli “Mafhum al-Nas Dirasah fi Ulum al-Qur’an” serta buku-buku lainnya yang berkaitan dengan tema penelitian. Hasil yang penulis dapatkan dari penelitian ini adalah secara umum Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Sawi menerangkan bahwa tanazzulat adalah salah satu dari model komunikasi Allah kepada hambaNya dengan perantara Malaikat Jibril dan Nabi Muhammad yang disampaikan kepada manusia seluruh alam dengan harapan para manusia dapat memahami kalamNya dengan mudah. Sedangkan secara terperinci ditemukan konsep tanazzulat sebagai berikut: ada dua model komunikasi Allah kepada hambaNya dalam mengenalkan ZatNya. Pertama, secara haqiqi, yakni Allah mengenalkan dengan segala ke-Maha AgunganNya seperti aku adalah yang menciptakan langit dan bumi. Kedua, secara tanazzulat, yakni Allah menurunkan taraf kalamNya sehingga dapat dipahami oleh manusia-manusia bahkan yang memiliki akal rendah sekalipun. Seperti Allah adalah yang melipat-gandakan balasan dengan lipat ganda yang banyak jika memberikan pinjaman kepada Allah dengan pinjaman yang baik. Setelah Allah bertanazzul, kemudian Allah menaikkan taraf kalamNya ke tempat seharusnya. Konsep tanazzulat ini muncul dilingkungan tariqah, lebih tepatnya tariqah al-Khalwati

    This book analyses the attitudes of Muslim citizens toward international and regional actors. In essence, the project examines whether Muslim public opinion is in favor of the current international order and if there is an ideal type of international governance perceived by Muslim citizens. The author connects the analysis to the literature of international public opinion and to the research on social legitimacy of international and global governance.

    Newly isolated sporopollenin microcages from Platanus orientalis pollens as a vehicle for controlled drug delivery

    WOS: 000403381200030PubMed: 28532028Sporopollenin microcages were produced from the pollens of Platanus orientalis. Paracetamol was loaded into the microcages. Pollen, sporopollenin, paracetamol and paracetamol-loaded sporopollenin microcages were characterized with FT-IR, TGA and SEM. The analytical analyses demonstrated that sporopollenin microcages were structurally intact, highly reticulated and thermally stable. The loading efficiency of the sporopollenin microcages was found to be 8.2% using the passive loading technique and 23.7% via evaporating loading technique. In vitro release and kinetics studies were performed to test the suitability of sporopollenin microcages for loading. These studies revealed that sporopollenin from P. orientalis can be suggested as a suitable carrier for drug loading and controlled release studies.

    The Application Of Polymer Particles In Industrial Processes

    No full text
    The research in this thesis considers novel innovative developments in established industrial processes that involve the use of recyclable polymeric particles as a partial replacement for aqueous media and chemicals. The application of the technology typically leads to water savings of over 80% and chemical savings of over 25%. These industrial processes may be characterised in that are considered inefficient and wasteful but nevertheless are considered economically vital. These diverse industries including laundry cleaning, leather manufacturing, textile garment processing, effluent treatment and metal beverage can manufacture. The outcomes of this research have made significant contributions to industrial best practice in such industries. In terms of academic research, the knowledge created in this thesis provides the basis for the application of CFD-DEM modelling to understand complex multi-phase and multi-component systems. In particular, the thesis advocates the application of the Free Surface Lattice Boltzmann Method for creating highly accurate simulations of multi-phase flow. In addition, the thesis offers opportunities for further research in novel plasma micro-reactors and their applications in diverse fields such as chemical synthesis, chemical engineering and biotechnology. The nature of the research is multi-disciplinary, and involved investigations across several fields including applied mathematics, biochemistry, chemistry, physics, and engineering. The projects also involved scale up from laboratory, pilot plant and full commercial scale production trials. Primary objectives were investigated through a series of six published patents. The three patents relating to the development of novel leather and textile processes were solely conceived and executed by the author. The patent related to the development of the plasma micro-reactor for ozone synthesis was conceived and executed jointly by the author and Professor Will Zimmerman (Sheffield University). The two patents related to the development of a novel metal cleaning and treatment process was conceived and executed jointly by the author and Dr. Robert Bird (Xeros Technology Group Limited)

    Protect Against Phishing Scams

    Abstract: Phishing is an act of luring unsuspecting recipient of a message into revealing information which can be used against the recipient. Email is the most common medium of creating a Phishing attack against individuals and organizations. Phishing is a type of social engineering attempt, usually via emails, designed to trick the recipient. These attacks often result in malicious software getting deployed, steal user data including credentials or financial data, and victimize the entire infrastructure for ransom etc. First step in preventing this attack is to identify what a Phishing attempt is, to report it, and take similar actions for others. The golden rule of prevention is when you are in doubt, do not open that email, download its attachments or click on any hyperlinks inside.

    ELABORATION OF TASLIYAH VERSES: A HERMENEUTIC STUDY ON 'HĀSHIYAH AS-SĀWI ‘ALĀ TAFSĪR AL-JALĀLAIN

    No full text
    The concept of ‘tasliyah’ in the Qur’an which means consolation or reassurance plays a significant role in Tafseer and has been extensively discussed by Islamic scholars. One of the important commentaries of the Qur’an examining this concept is 'Hāshiyah as-Sāwi 'alā Tafsīr al-Jalālain' by Ahmad al-Ṣāwī, an influential figure in Islamic education in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the interpretation of tasliyah verses in the commentary and to find out how hermeneutics helps explain Ahmad al-Ṣāwī’s approach. This research uses a qualitative approach which includes hermeneutics, linguistic, Maqasid Tafseer, and socio-historical analysis approaches, with Krippendorff content-analysis as the method to analyze the data. The results of this study show that the Tafseer on tasliyah verses by integrating linguistic, literary, and Sufism aspects not only were interpreted as comfort in distress but also as strengthening faith and resilience. Through hermeneutics, the interpretation explores historical, social, and psychological contexts influencing al-Saawi’s reasoning, which offers a broader and deeper understanding of the tasliyah concept in Islamic spiritual and psychological contexts. This study highlights the importance of contexts in understanding consolation messages and spiritual reassurance addressed to the Prophet Muhammad as well as provides an insight into how social cognition plays a crucial role in interpreting religious texts
