The Political Thought of the Late H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Founder of the United Arab Emirates (1966 - 2004)
No full textThis thesis highlights the political thought of H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, a man who made decisive contributions to the history of the twentieth century, and the various reflections of this political thought on the UAE, its people and the international community at large. In this regard, it explores and analyzes a multifaceted political thought that took its form in political practice in the establishment of the Federation, the management of crises and in the building of a prosperous enduring nation. Evaluating the factors that influenced the formation of the doctrinal matrix of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, this thesis traces the background from within which Sheikh Zayed’s leadership skills evolved and developed. From his early years onwards, Sheikh Zayed made a firm commitment to undertake the considerable task of building a fully fledged state out of a divided tribal background, improve the lives of citizens, and carve a place for the UAE in the international arena.
This research project illustrates the implications and dimensions of Sheikh Zayed's political thinking process exemplified in his discursive statements and actions. It documents and analyzes the career achievements of Sheikh Zayed, a statesman acknowledged by contemporary and future generations to have had significant impact on the political direction and overall development of the UAE. This impact also demonstrates the potential of his contribution to the field of political thought.
One of this study’s primary conclusions is that the accomplishments of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al-Nahyan during his rule have resulted primarily from his development of an integrated doctrine of governance that reflected his humanistic outlook. In this regard, at both the domestic and international levels, Sheikh Zayed’s political decisions and acts were undertaken with reference to this outlook

Socio-cultural Constraints and Women’s Decision-making Power Regarding Reproductive Behaviour
No full textIn a previous study [Ali, Siyal and Sultan (1995)], we observed a big gap between behaviour and desires. Only 35 percent women had the number of children that they had desired. Whereas, a very large number of women had more children than their stated ideal number of children. The same data set also showed that a majority of women (54 percent) either wanted to stop having children or wanted to wait at least two years before having another child [Ali and Rukanuddin (1992)]. In practice, all of these women were not protected; instead only 12 percent were practising contraception [Shah and Ali (1992)]. An argument was put forward that, had these women been empowered to decide about the number of children to be born, the scenario would have been different and small family size norms would have prevailed. However, the finding of that study revealed that generally, the women who were considered to be empowered were actually constrained to exercise fertility control behaviour. It was hypothesised that socio-cultural influences including those of husbands, in-laws and other family members impelled women to become incapacitated. In the present study, an effort has been made to investigate and identify factors that influence women’s decision making about reproductive behaviour. Furthermore, an attempt to measure the extent of these influences has been made.
Arkeologi Makam Sultan Muhammad Ali Ternate, Maluku Utara
No full textPenelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Peneliti menggambarkan tinjauan arkeologis makam Sultan Muhammad Ali yang memerintah Ternate pada awal abad ke-19. Makam Sultan Muhammad Ali terletak tidak jauh dari Kedaton dan Masjid Tua Kesultanan Ternate. Nisannya terbuat dari batu berukuran tinggi 150 cm berhiaskan inskripsi nama dan tahun sebagai monumen yang menjadi penanda eksistensi Sultan Muhammad Ali. Gambar hati terletak antara inskripsi nama dan tahun, serupa gambar hati lambang kesultanan, menyiratkan hubungan erat antara yang dimakamkan dengan Kesultanan Ternate. Sultan Muhammad Ali semasa hidupnya mempunyai perhatian yang cukup besar dalam hal agama Islam dengan membangun Masjid sebagai simbol agama dan Istana yang megah sebagai simbol kerajaan, pada masa pemerintahannya status kesultanan menjadi bagian dari kerajaan Belanda dengan traktat yang ditandatanganinya bersama Belanda, praktis hanya urusan dalam negeri dan keagamaan yang menjadi wewenang kesultanan. Bentuk nisan yang sangat jauh berbeda dengan dengan nisan lainnya serta peletakannya ditempat yang cukup tinggi memperlihatkan posisi seorang pemimpin yang dijunjung tinggi semasa hidupny
Al-Qâḍi Abu al-Hasan Ali bin 'Abd al-Aziz al-Jurjâni: Hâmil as-Salâm
No full textAli Bin Abdul Aziz Al-Jurjani built his concept orientation as a way out of the problems of the world of classical Arabic literary criticism, so as to provide objectivity in criticizing a work. Abdul Aziz comments to all the poets of his time, quoting Al-qodhi's own words: "If a poet finds fault and then finds goodness in other poets then a poet will make excuses to accept it". It means the absurd contradiction between one poet and another. Abdul Aziz offers a duality perspective towards Al-Mutanabbi and his enemies. Ali Bin Abdul Aziz's perspective is stated in his book, Al-Washatah baina Mutanabbi wa Khusumihi. Ali Bin Abdul Aziz's critical opinion gives a start and a difference in the objective interpretation of problems in classical Arabic literary criticism. This study will uncover the form of neutrality of Ali Bin Abdul Aziz in the book Al-Washatah baina Mutanabbi wa Khusumihi, with a form of criticism as well as a symbol of the meaning of appreciation of literature
