    The shifting world of South African madrasahs, 1973-2008

    No full text
    Includes bibliographical references (leaves 92-101).This essay seeks to unearth the historical development of madrasah education in South Africa from 1973 to 2008. It identifies transformations that have taken place in the madrasah education landscape in the last thirty to forty years. This work may be seen as largely an exercise in contemporary historical excavation. In addition to determining whether the transformations have changed or sustained the central function of madrasahs as spaces for religious socialization and sectarian identity formation, the essay is an attempt to underline the link between these changes and the broader shifts and developments that have taken place in Muslim communities and the country. The conclusion suggests that while major transformations have taken place at South African madrasahs, the changes - in a broader sense - still fall very much within the central function of madrasahs historically and globally. There has been no radical shift, or even a conception thereof, beyond often sectarian religious orthodoxy

    The concept of fana is a concept that developed in the third and fourth centuries hijriyah. A concept of fusion (trance) which later became an experience desired by many Sufism retainers. A Sufistic experience that must be passed and deliver Sufis at the top of the world of Sufism. with the experience that each Sufi feels so that many bring up various differences between one and another, then it also becomes a phenomenon for the fuqoha\u27. Abu Yazid al-Busthomi and Imam Junaid al-Baghdadi were one of the pioneers of the concept of Fana’. With a distinctly different background, between Sufi philosophy and Sunni. So the author takes the initiative and aims to combine the views between the two by examining a character who is balanced against and a character who has many adherents to this day, in order to get a good understanding and similarities or differences in the concept of Fana’\u27. This research uses library research, by means of qualitative analysis. As well as using primary and secondary sources. The results of this study are the concept of Fana’ must be together with the concept of Baqo’, awareness of a person\u27s individuality has disappeared even though his physical form is still there. And to reach the peak of Fana’, the Salikin must leave the nature, character and personality as humans

    An Analytical Study of Cryptocurrency and its Connection with Money Laundering Policies and Financial Terrorism and the Impact of Anti Money Laundering Policies upon it.

    Globalisation and technological advancements have improved every aspect of human life and advancements in trade and business environments have been improved exponentially. However, the development and advancement which has completely changed the method of business and trade is its financial transaction of the economic exchange process and the most significant development in this field is virtual currency or cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin was created by Satoshi Nakamoto and it was approved for operation in economic transactions in 2009 and hence, it became the first kind of cryptocurrency the 21st century observed and established as the replacement for tedious economic transactions. However, there are multiple situations that observe a sudden drop of faith and belief in the cryptocurrency transactional process and multiple rampant scams and corruptions contributed to developing this notion about the cryptocurrency and its association with financial terrorism and other illicit activities. Hence, with this research process, an outline has been selected so that all the loopholes and limitations of the anti-money-laundering policies could be identified with investigating the lack of central authorities in mind. This is the reason; a mixed method analytical (quantitative-qualitative) study has been conducted with the inclusion of experts from the UK and Ireland as research participants and the data collected from their interview and survey responses have been used to identify the answers this research finds through its comprehensive analysis

    Synergistic effect of alkaline pretreatment and magnetite nanoparticle application on biogas production from rice straw

    Agricultural residues have high potential for biogas production, complex lignocellulosic structure is however the main hindrance in their bioconversion. This research focuses on combined effect of alkaline pretreatment of rice straw and magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticle application. Four doses of magnetite nanoparticles viz. 60, 80, 100 and 120 ppm were used in the anaerobic digestion of untreated and 2% NaOH pretreated rice straw. Compared to control, 2% NaOH pretreatment alone increased biogas and methane yield by 57 and 60% respectively. Magnetite nanoparticle (MNP) application alone gave maximum yield at 100 ppm which consisted of 37 and 33% more biogas and methane yield respectively. Combining the effect of 2% NaOH pretreatment and 120 ppm MNPs synergistically increased biogas and methane yield by 100 and 129% as compared to control. In addition, an energy assessment indicated a positive net gain of 3765 kJ for 2% NaOH pretreated rice straw with 120 ppm MNPs
