The Incompatibility of the Vision of God as a Basis of Factual Belief from Philosophical Perspective
No full textReligious people may feel confident that they have something that non-religious people lack, namely, direct experience of God. They may claim that such religious experience, like visions of God, is a way of knowing God’s existence. This claim has been examined by some scholars and philosophers in the field of philosophy of religion. The purpose of this writing is to analyze the reasonableness of believing in the existence of God on the basis of this claim. The methodological approach of gathering data is mainly through document analysis on various books of philosophy of religion and philosophy of God. This writing concludes that visions lack the consistency and predictability needed to form the basis of any factual belief

Islam from within: preliminary evaluation of Malaysian scholars contributions to scholarly writings on Islamic reform in Malaya
Get PDFPemikiran Sisters in Islam dan hak asasi manusia
Get PDFSisters in Islam (SIS) adalah satu di antara organisasi feminisme Islam di Malaysia yang memperjuangkan emansipasi wanita. Ia telah dibentuk dalam tahun 1988 dan didaftarkan secara rasmi sebagai sebuah Badan Bukan Kerajaan (Non Governmental Organisation, NGO) pada tahun 1993 di bawah nama SIS Forum (Malaysia) Berhad. Sungguhpun kemunculan SIS boleh dianggap baharu berbanding pertubuhan NGO wanita yang hadir lebih dahulu sebelumnya seperti National Council of Women’s Organizations (NCWO), namun SIS sejak awal kemunculannya lagi telah berjaya menjadi sebuah gerakan feminisme yang paling popular dan terkehadapan di Malaysia. Kajian mengenai perjuangan menegakkan hak-hak asasi manusia berkisar kepada persoalan sejauhmana kefahaman dan komitmen SIS terhadap perjuangan hak-hak manusia ini dalam kerangka perbahasan Islamnya. SIS telah mendakwa sebagai gerakan yang mengkaji, mempromosi dan memperjuangkan hak-hak asasi manusia menurut perspektif Islam. Kajian dilakukan secara kualitatif dan mengguna pakai semua data-data dokumentasi yang diperoleh untuk menghasilkan hasil dapatan kajian yang mantap. Berdasarkan kajian yang mendalam terhadap ideologi perjuangan SIS terhadap Hak Asasi Manusia dan pendirian mereka terhadap ideologi Islam Progresif, artikel ini menyimpulkan terdapat persamaan perjuangan konsep pergerakan SIS dengan asas dan ciri perjuangan Islam Liberal yang sekali gus membuktikan hujah bahawa SIS adalah dari aliran feminisme Islam Liberal. Konklusi ini dibuat berdasarkan sokongan mereka kepada aktiviti organisasi dan komuniti liberal yang berkembang di Malaysia seperti G25, Islamic Renaissance Front (IRF) dan Jaringan Islam Liberal (JIL) di Indonesia. Kumpulan mereka beranggapan bahawa mereka adalah sebagai penyelamat dan penyelesai masalah wanita dan pihak berautoriti agama dilihat sebagai pihak yang bersalah dan bermasalah
Karl Marx dan Konsep Perjuangan Kelas Sosial
Get PDF¬¬This article explores the history of the renowned world economic and political reformist, Karl Marx with a special focus on the social class concept. It also discusses to what extent that the Marx’s concept of social class struggle is capable to provide a way out to the proletariats, to free themselves from the chains of cruelty, violence and alienation in the capitalist system. Our main focal point is to scrutinize the relationship between the concepts of social class struggle and the need for a social revolution as a catalyst for the formation of a classless society. Along the way, we studied and analyzed the documents produced on the primary sources covering major works of Marx and the secondary sources consisting reviews of the Marx’s class concept. As a result, we found out that Marx’s concept of class fight is competent to represent the oppressed group to battle for their freedom rights. The Proletariat dictatorship attitude was used as their main shield to face the threat of the capitalist class. Marx’s ultimate success is realized through a burst of ideas and beliefs that supports the ideas of egalitarian Communism although many contradictions arise between the ideas of Marx and the 20th centuries Communism when they are translated into practice
