A critical analysis of Christian responses to Islamic claims about the work of the Prophet Muhammad, ‘the Messenger of God’.
Full text linkThe aims of this study are to analyse critically the different Christian responses to the Islamic understanding of the work of Muhammad. Chapter one consists a short introduction leading to an appraisal of Muhammad which incorporates historical, hagiographal and Quranic source material, and in the light of relevant Christian and Muslim scholarship. The second chapter presents a summary critical analysis of Muhammad in Christian theological perspective, from 661 A.D. to modern times. Chapter three presents a critique of Christian responses to the Muslim allegations that the text of the Bible has been infected with corruption; and that Muhammad's advent and status are foretold in the unadulterated' scriptures, and in the Gospel of Barnabas. Chapter four examines the theological significance of the work of Muhammad for Christians. Thus, Jesus and Muhammad are critically assessed and contrasted in order to ascertain the importance, for Christians, of the Muslim claims in respect of Muhammad as ’the messenger of God’. Chapter five provides a critical evaluation of the various Christian responses to Muhammad. It is argued that many of the said responses have been entangled in myths and misperceptions which have severely distorted the true account of Muhammad's work. Consequently, many Christians have failed to appreciate the divine legitimacy of Muhammad's call to prophethood. Further, it is argued that Christians should accept that Muhammad is a genuine prophet, and the messenger of God. However, Muhammad's use of the power-structure in order to maintain Islam is in sharp contrast to Jesus’ decision to face the consequences of his ministry passively through faith in God. Accordingly, orthodox Christian belief in the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus provides another dimension to prophethood, where the messenger and the message become one, an identification which finds no parallel in Islam, and which, in the nature of the case, cannot find a parallel
Leaf Mold and Cocopeat based Improvements in Morpho-Biochemical and Photosynthetic Attributes of Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus L.)
No full textGreat attention to plant research is required to enhance growth performance and yield of small potted plants. Various growing media increased plant productivity while use of soil is going to be limited because of low fertility and numerous soil-borne diseases. Present pot experiment aimed to evaluate the performance of morpho-physiological and biochemical attributes in snapdragon cultivated under cocopeat (CP), pumice (P), leaf mold (LM) and their combination with silt (S), whereas silt alone was considered as control treatment. The results showed that LM and its combination with silt improved plant morphological attributes such as plant height (12%), leaf area (37.4%), spike length (54.9%), stem diameter (39.2%), number of florets spike-1 (38.6%), whereas, plant fresh weight, plant dry weight and soluble protein contents was improved by 24.1%, 17.7% and 59.2%, respectively, compared with control. Antioxidative enzyme activities such as POX and SOD, total phenolic capacity, antioxidant capacity, relative chlorophyll content and linear electron flow was enhanced by 27.2%, 296%, 47.1%, 64.9%, 27.4%, and 136.7%, respectively, in treatment containing combination of all growing media with equal ratio compared with control. Whereas quantum yield of photosystem-II, non-photochemical quenching and efficiency of photosystem-II was enhanced by 11.8%, 39.7%, and 7.9%, respectively, under combine CP+S growing media. This study opined that the application of LM and CP are great sources of macronutrients. Therefore, exploitation of these growing media and their combination with soil proves more operative cultivation media for producing high quality snapdragon while encouraging sustainable floricultural practices

Quantitative characterization of geomorphological and topographical features of debris-flow channels at the Alpe di Succiso mountain, Northern Apennines (Italy)
No full textThis study combines the traditional method of geological and geomorphological mapping with a quantitative GIS analysis to examine landforms and debris flows channels. Using a high-resolution DEM (5 m) as a base, the geomorphological map highlights the various landforms around the Alpe di Succiso (Northern Apennines, Italy), including glacial and cryoclastic features, slope landforms and deposits due to gravity (particularly debris flow) and deposits due to running waters. The methodology applied to the channels is based on the geomorphometric parameters derived from the DEM, including Topographic Wetness Index (TWI), Terrain Ruggedness Index (TRI), Slope Angle, and Elevation extracted every 10 m along each channel and grouping the channels in four classes based on their lengths. Within each class, multiple ranking criteria were employed for the identification of channels showing anomalous or common patterns. Debris flow channels exhibit anomalous patterns in the geomorphometric parameters, indicating significant variations in their topographical characteristics.
The Complete Muhammad Ali

Metode tahfidz Al-Qur’an dalam keluarga (studi komparasi keluarga Anwar Syadad Mangkang Semarang dengan keluarga H. Muhammad Ahsan Surodadi Jepara)
Full text linkPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui metode tahfidz al-Qur’an dalam keluarga. ( Studi Komparasi keluarga Anwar Syadad Mangkang Semarang dan keluarga H.Muhammad Ahsan Surodadi Jepara)
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian lapangan (field research) dengan tehnik Analisis Deskriptif Kualitatif. Data yang terkumpul kumudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan pendekatan deduktif dan pendekatan induktif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode tahfidz al-Qur’an dalam keluarga yang diterapkan keluarga Anwar Syadad Mangkang Semarang dan H.Muhammad Ahsan Surodadi Jepara belum dikatakan optimal. Karena dalam pelaksanaanya, belum menerapkan berbagai macam metode yang ada (masih terbawa oleh metode menghafal yang diterapkan ketika orang tua berada dilingkungan pondok pesantren). Walaupun begitu, kedua keluarga ini berhasil menghantarkan menjadi seorang putri-putrinya yang hafidzoh atau hamil al-Qur’an. Hal ini tidak terlepas dari ikhtiar lahir maupun batin, kesungguhan orang tua maupun anak yang bersangkutan dalam mewujudkan visi-misi keluarga tersebut. Dalam mewujudkan cita-cita ini, kedua keluarga telah memulai pengenalan atau pendidikan al-Qur’an sejak anak masih di dalam kandungan. Setelah anak lahir, orang tua mulai menerapkan berbagai metode sesuai kemampuan orang tua, baik itu pengenalan, pembacaan, penulisan hingga tahfidz al-Qur’an.
Sedangkan perbandingan metode tahfidz al-Qur’an yang diterapkan kedua keluarga ini menunjukkan bahwa metode yang diterapkan oleh keluarga Anwar Syadad dengan menggunakan metode dan urutan yang dimulai sejak anak dalam kandungan (doa, ibadah, Membaca al-Qur’an, Zikir), kemudian metode pada tahap kanak-kanak (Permainan, mengeraskan bacaan al-Qur’an, menggunakan tape recorder, Sima’i) hingga sampai metode pada tahap remaja yakni menggunakan (Wahdah, Kitabah, Gabungan antara wahdah dan kitabah, Talaqqi, Tasmi’) dan ditunjang dengan program menghatamkan membaca al-Qur’an dalam jangka waktu satu pekan. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa metode yang diterapkan keluarga Anwar Syadad lebih cepat dibanding dengan metode yang diterapkan keluarga H.Muhammad Ahsan dalam mewujudkan putri-putrinya menjadi seorang hafidzoh.
Penelitian ini diharapkan akan menjadi bahan informasi dan masukan bagi orang tua atau pasangan yang hendak membina rumah tangga dengan harapan putra-putrinya kelak dapat mengangkat derajat orang tua maupun anak-anaknya dengan menjadi seorang hafidz-hafidzoh
