    KEBEBASAN BERAGAMA MENURUT IRSHAD MANJI

    No full text
    Setiap orang berhak atas kebebasan beragama atau berkepercayaan. Dalam Islam, kebebasan untuk memeluk agama atau kepercayaan demikian, sebenarnya cukup mendapatkan legitimasi. Beberapa ayat dalam Al-Qur’an dan praktik Islam Nabi Muhammad dapat dikatakan telah memberi pembenaran atas hal itu. Namun, dalam praktik Islam saat ini, idealita tersebut masih jauh panggang dari api. Irshad Manji adalah salah satu pemikir Islam yang turut gelisah akan realitas tersebut. Irshad Manji merupakan tokoh yang begitu getol mengkampanyekan terciptanya kebebasan beragama. Dari sinilah kemudian menjadi penting bagi penulis untuk menganalisa pemikiran Irshad Manji dalam hal kebebasan beragama. Masalah yang menjadi pokok bahasan dalam skripsi ini adalah konsep Irshad Manji tentang kebebasan beragama dan kritik terhadap pemikiran Irshad Manji. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah model (library research). Yaitu, mengumpulkan data yang berkenaan dengan dengan tema skripsi ini untuk kemudian diolah. Sementara pendekatan yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan filosofis. Hasil penelitian ini adalah secara umum konsep kebebasan beragama memberikan kebebasan kepada setiap individu ataupun kolektif untuk memeluk dan melaksanakan ritual keagamaan sesuai agamanya atau bahkan tidak beragama. Sementara kebebasan beragama dalam persektif Irshad Manji lebih menekankan kebebasan beragama yang berlandaskan Islam. Irshad Manji mengatakan bahwa sejatinya Islam adalah agama yang sangat menjunjung tinggi kebebasan beragama. Namun, dalam praktiknya ide tentang kebebasan beragama ini kerap dibelenggu oleh identitas kelompok (sebagai muslim) dan percampuran sempurna budaya (Arab) dengan Islam. Karena itu, sebagai upaya menegakkan kebebasan beragama dalam Islam, Irshad Manji kemudian mengkampanyekan pentingnya individualitas dan Muslim kontra-budaya. Individualitas adalah upaya internalisasi paradigma bahwa identitas itu menjebak, sementara integritas sebagai individu itu membebaskan. Sedangkan yang dimaksud dengan Muslim kontrabudaya adalah upaya internalisasi pemikiran bahwa budaya itu tidak sakral sekalipun ia terbalut rapi dalam praktik agama. Gamabaran umum kebebasan beragama serta pergolakan pemikiran dan kritik atas kebebasan beragama Irshad Manji inilah yang nantinya akan dibahas secara komprehensif dalam skripsi in

    Homoseksual dalam surat Al-A’rāf ayat 80-81 (kritik pemikiran Irshad Manji)

    No full text
    Di Indonesia, perkawinan harus melibatkan hubungan antara perempuan dan laki-laki. Artinya, sebuah perkawinan dianggap sah ketika semua unsur terpenuhi yakni adanya perempuan dan laki-laki (hubungan heteroseksual). Allah menciptakan manusia tidak hanya terdiri dari dua jenis saja, yakni perempuan dan laki-laki. Ulama’ pun mewajibkan perkawinan heteroseksual. Dari jaman dulu penyimpangan seksual sudah muncul ke permukaan, tercatat dalam sejarah kisah tentang kaum Nabi Luṭ, dikisahkan bahwa kaum Nabi Luṭ melakukan praktek homoseksual sehingga mendapat adzab dari Allah swt. Sekarang, hubungan seksual yang tidak wajar yang sering disebut dengan LGBT (Lesbi, Gay, Biseksual dan Transseksual) kembali mencuat. Bahkan, di belahan bumi utara, tepatnya Kanada muncul seorang tokoh muslim bernama Irshad Manji yang membolehkan hubungan pernikahan sesama jenis (homoseksual). Sehingga menarik peneliti untuk membahas tentang pemikirannya. Selanjutnya penelitian ini berjudul “homoseksual dalam Surat al-A’rāf ayat 80-81 (Kritik pemikiran Irshad Manji)”. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian dengan jenis penelitian Library Research, metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis isi, penelitian yang mencoba untuk mendeskripsikan tentang pemikiran Irshad Manji tentang homoseksual. Kemudian, teori Manji ini ditelusuri dan dikaji untuk dicari keautentikan teori yang diangkat oleh Manji. Metodologi yang digunakan Manji pemikirannya adalah the progressive ijtihadist, yaitu para pemikir muslim modern/kontemporer yang berupaya menafsir ulang ajaran agama agar bisa menjawab kebutuhan masyarakat modern. Mereka berpijak pada konsep dasar usul fikih dengan mengedepankan konsep contextual based ijtihad (progressive ijtihadist) yang bertitik-tolak dari nilai-nilai dasar Islam yang esensial (maqâshid assyarî`ah). Irshad Manji menitik beratkan penafsiran ayat tentang kisah Nabi Luṭ pada Surat al-A’rāf ayat 80-81 pada sisi lain dari dosa yang dilakukan kaumnya, bukan pada dosa melakukan homoseksual. Sehingga beliau membolehkan perilaku homoseksual. Serta beliau berargumen bahwa pelarangan homoseksual adalah hasil dari budaya primitif sehingga dapat dilawan. Pemikiran Irshad Manji tentang pembolehan homoseksual ini, bertolak belakang dengan pemikiran dan pemahaman ulama lain. Di sisi lain, para ulama baik klasik maupun modern menitik beratkan pada perilaku homoseksual yang merupakan penyimpangan seksual. Manji juga tidak memperhatikan pada ayat lain tentang fitrah manusia. Sementara dalam perspektif ilmu tafsir dibutuhkan ilmu munasabah ayat yaitu ilmu yang membahas tentang keterkaitan satu ayat dengan ayat yang lainnya sehingga dalam memahami sebuah ayat akan lebih komprehensif

    Thermal management of electronics: An experimental analysis of triangular, rectangular and circular pin-fin heat sinks for various PCMs

    No full text
    This study implies experimental investigation for optimization of heat transfer in electronic integrated circuits using close packed phase change materials (PCMs) filled pin-fin heat sinks. The aim of this study is to find the most efficient pin-fin configuration filled with optimum PCM to extend the operating range of electronic circuits. The experimental methodology is based upon variation of pin-fin configurations in rectangular, round and triangular cross-sections. Each configuration is allowed a pin-fin volumetric percentage of 9%. For analysis using PCM a volume fraction of 90% is maintained and six PCMs with different thermo-physical properties (varying melting temperatures, latent heats and heat capacities) are selected. These include paraffin wax, RT-54, RT-44, RT-35HC, SP-31 and n-eicosane. Moreover, the power levels mimicking heat input range between 5 W and 8 W. The resulting information is analyzed for the performance of a heat sink with and without PCM. Besides that, PCM ascendency is manipulated in terms of operational time, enhancement ratios, Stefan number and storage ratio. The outcomes suggest that triangular pin-fins are found to be the most effective pin-fin configuration for heat transfer both with and without PCM
