    'Conversion of African Americans to Islam: A Sociological Analysis of the Nation of Islam Associated groups' is an empirical study of the religious experience of people who had/have distinctive features in terms of race, ethnicity and historical experience. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate how African Americans' (AAs) conversion experience in general, and the Nation of Islam associated groups' conversion in particular, differ from the studies of recruitment and conversion in the sociology of religion and New Religion Movements (NRMs). More specifically, their recruitment and conversion experiences to Islam diverge from those who converted to mainstream Islam. The study investigates how AAs' historical experience, soci-economic difficulties and the racism they encountered shaped and influenced their religious understanding. Research methods involved participant observations, a survey questionnaire, interviews, conversations, personal communications and correspondence. To collect ethnographic data eleven months field research was conducted mainly in the Chicago area and on two short visits to Detroit, and three years continued communications with Muslim officials and academics in the area. During the field research and afterwards through personal communication 181 survey questionnaire responses were received, and 23 Muslim officials, academics and ordinary Muslims were interviewed through semi-structured, unstructured interviews, conversation and correspondence. The thesis begins with a brief history of Islam and Muslims in general and the African American Muslims (AAMs) in particular. More emphasis is given on the historical development of the Nation of Islam (NOl). Then in Chapter III, discussions of schisms in the history of the NOT are examined from sociological perspectives of social and religious movements. In Chapter IV I aimed to formulate my own perspective to analyse and study the conversion experiences of AAMs to Islam. I used a multivariate approach, considering selectively widely held conversion and recruitment theories in the sociology of the religion. I consider in Chapter V the predisposing conditions for AAMs that influence their decision-making to join in the NOT, for example, political and nationalistic sentiments and socio-economic deprivations. In Chapter VI I have applied different terms to describe their religious experiences, such as conversion, alteration and reversion. I have analysed further their encounters with the NOT, the methods of recruitment they used and their major motives for joining the NOT and converting to Tslam. In the concluding chapters (Chapter VII VTTT) I describe the different responses of AAMS to Islam following the death of Elijah Muhammad. It is found out that the Islamic appeal has polarised. While Farakhan's NOT appeared to continue the tradition and style of the old NOI with the emphasis on nationalistic and socio-economic factors, Tmam W. D. Mohammed's community turned more to the religious and spiritual aspects of Tslam. These different approaches led to a polarisation of the appeal of Tslam to AAMS. This thesis contributes to knowledge in four key areas; the sociology of religion and religious movements, the sociology of social and nationalistic movements, religious and Islamic studies

    As a scholar in Kerinci District, Abdul Karim Jamak's thinking needs to be examined in the middle of society, as previously the teachings of Islam taught to his students are seen and understood by the local community by stating that he developed deviant teachings. Of course, such views are not acceptable only to the truth of the teachings they convey. His students are not only from the general public, but also educators, government officials and lecturers, and others. People should see clearly what Abdul Karim Jamak teaches. Consequently, before the conclusions and decisions of the deviation, not a single flow of flow and the teachings developed by a group of scholars, both individually and collectively, need to carry out several approaches and various methods.

From the concept of his thinking about the Godhead. Abdul Karim Jamak follows the thinking of Asyā'irah, based on the Quran and the hadith of the Prophet. S.a.w His divine teachings that have been understood and practiced have implicated his students and the Muslim community of Kerinci even to the archipelago.

    ORANG-ORANG MERUGI DALAM AL-QUR’AN (STUDI TEMATIK AL-QUR’AN)

    No full text
    Pola berpikir manusia zaman modern saat ini sedikit demi sedikit telah menjauh dari pola pikir yang dianjurkan al-Qur’an dan dari yang dicontohkan Nabi Muhammad. Pola pikir materialistik telah menjamur dan mempengaruhi lingkungan masyarakat global secara umum dan khususnya di Indonesia. Bahwa telah menurut mereka merugi adalah selalu mengenai kurangnya keuntungan materi yang berbau duniawi. Padahal al-Qur’an telah memperingatkan manusia sejak 14 abad yang lalu, bahwa ada kerugian yang lebih besar dari kerugian yang diderita manusia di dunia. Agar manusia memiliki tujuan yang berharga dalam kehidupan di dunia dan di akhirat nanti dan tidak terjerumus ke dalam kesengsaraan sebagaimana yang dirasakan oleh orang-orang yang merugi. Di dalam al-Qur’an kerugian disebut dengan kata kunci khasara yang memiliki arti rugi, terdapat 60 ayat dengan semua derivasinya. Dan yang lebih umum dengan redaksi lain yang memiliki indikasi makna kerugian, seperti negasi kata falaha/beruntung. Penulis menemukan 12 ayat mengenai ketidak-beruntungan ini. Dari semua ayat al-Qur’an yang terdapat redaksi khasara dengan semua derivasinya, dan ayat yang mengandung makna ketidak-beruntungan tersebut akan dianalisa dengan pendekatan deduktif-induktif. Dengan bantuan literatur kitab-kitab tafsir yang mu’tabar ayat-ayat tersebut akan digali penjelasan tafsirnya dan dibuat sebuah kesimpulan kecil. Kemudian dari beberapa kesimpulan kecil tersebut akan ditarik dalam kesimpulan yang lebih besar agar dapat dilakukan analisa kontekstual. Adapun hasil penelitian mengenai orang-orang yang merugi dari 60 ayat yang menggunakan kata kunci khasara dan 12 ayat dengan redaksi kerugian yang lebih umum, penulis menemukan bahwa konsep kerugian dalam al-Qur’an tidak sama dengan konsep kerugian yang dipakai dalam dunia perekonomian. Tetapi al-Qur’an tetap menerapkan analogi yang dipakai kebanyakan manusia dalam dunia pedagangan. Yaitu dengan adanya modal awal, usaha dan hasil akhir. Hanya saja modal yang dimaksud al-Qur’an adalah keimanan, waktu, tenaga, dan kesempatan kehidupan yang diberikan Allah kepada manusia. Dan usaha yang dimaksud adalah usaha untuk mengembangkan modal-modal tersebut dengan perbuatan yang nantinya akan dihitung dan diminta pertanggung-jawaban di akhirat. Apakah usaha itu dilakukan dengan tujuan dan cara yang benar atau tidak, itu yang akan menentukan hasil akhir. Yaitu hasil akhir keberuntungan atau kerugian. Karena hasil akhir ini yang akan menentukan kehidupan hakiki nan abadi seorang insan di akhirat. Jika ia telah berusaha dengan cara dan untuk tujuan yang baik maka ia akan termasuk orang-orang yang beruntung. Sebaliknya, jika ia menyia-nyiakan modal awal yang telah diberikan maka ia akan termasuk menjadi orang-orang yang merugi
