Revisiting Roel Meijer's Typology of Salafism: A Critical Reading of the Salafi Movement Studies
Full text linkThis research aims to review the typology of Salafists introduced by Roel Meijer in his work "The Global Salafism" to understand the core of Salafi thought, including fragmentation within Salafists and apply it in the latest context in Indonesia. To explore this object, the researcher utilized library research by presenting several perspectives outside Roel Meijer's work, both from Western scholars and Muslims who discussed the main ideology of Salafis. The literature studies showed several misconceptions about Salafi's original thought by both Western and Muslim scholars. The misconceptions understood by Western scholars tend to attribute reform movements such as Jamaluddin Al-Afghani or Muhammad Abduh to Salafis. As for the misconceptions understood by Muslims themselves, who are at odds with the main ideas of Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab, they radicalize the output of their thoughts so that it causes acts of violence that cross the threshold of humanitarian tolerance in the present era. Some of the misconceptions by internal Salafis included excessive understanding of the concept of Al-Walaa' wal Baraa', excessive hatred of the Shi'a, and the application of the concept of amr ma'ruf nahy munkar, which is restrictive, especially because it used backup from the government. The results suggested the typology of Salafism to be divided into only two, based on the same condition as those two groups, the rejection of using only logical thinking without Qur’anic or hadith basis, namely, Purists and Jihadis
S-Nitrosylation in Organs of Mice Exposed to Low or High Doses of γ-Rays: The Modulating Effect of Iodine Contrast Agent at a Low Radiation Dose
No full textThe covalent addition of nitric oxide (NO•) onto cysteine thiols, or S-nitrosylation, modulates the activity of key signaling proteins. The dysregulation of normal S-nitrosylation contributes to degenerative conditions and to cancer. To gain insight into the biochemical changes induced by low-dose ionizing radiation, we determined global S-nitrosylation by the “biotin switch” assay coupled with mass spectrometry analyses in organs of C57BL/6J mice exposed to acute 0.1 Gy of cesium-137 γ-rays. The dose of radiation was delivered to the whole body in the presence or absence of iopamidol, an iodinated contrast agent used during radiological examinations. To investigate whether similar or distinct nitrosylation patterns are induced following high-dose irradiation, mice were exposed in parallel to acute 4 Gy of cesium-137 γ rays. Analysis of modulated S-nitrosothiols (SNO-proteins) in freshly-harvested organs of animals sacrificed 13 days after irradiation revealed radiation dose- and contrast agent-dependent changes. The major results were as follows: (i) iopamidol alone had significant effects on S-nitrosylation in brain, lung and liver; (ii) relative to the control, exposure to 0.1 Gy without iopamidol resulted in statistically-significant SNO changes in proteins that differ in molecular weight in liver, lung, brain and blood plasma; (iii) iopamidol enhanced the decrease in S-nitrosylation induced by 0.1 Gy in brain; (iv) whereas a decrease in S-nitrosylation occurred at 0.1 Gy for proteins of ~50 kDa in brain and for proteins of ~37 kDa in liver, an increase was detected at 4 Gy in both organs; (v) mass spectrometry analyses of nitrosylated proteins in brain revealed differential modulation of SNO proteins (e.g., sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit beta-1; beta tubulins; ADP-ribosylation factor 5) by low- and high-dose irradiation; and (vi) ingenuity pathway analysis identified major signaling networks to be modulated, in particular the neuronal nitric oxide synthase signaling pathway was differentially modulated by low- and high-dose γ-irradiation.Peer reviewe

No full textThe nakedness in Islam considered as one of important foundation in Islamic Jurisprudence because the debate in this area will bear to the different of limit in Hijab or veiling. Thus, this research aimed to understand the various opinions of scholars ranged from Four Great Schools until recent scholars about the nakedness of free woman and female slave in Islam to know the reason why they reached the conclusion mentioned in their writings. The method used in this research is a library research by taking the books written by Four Great School, Ibn Taymiyah, Nasiruddin al-Albani and Qassim Amin as main sources and reaching the conclusion by comparing their ideas. This research resulted some findings after observing the scholars’ ideas, on of that they divided into three opinions regarding the limit of nakedness of free woman and about the female slave it is also divided into three opinions
PLATO’S ETHICAL PHILOSOPHY AND RELEVANCE TO THE CONCEPT OF BIRR AL-WĀLIDAYN IN THE QUR’AN
Full text linkIn Islam, a child is commanded to do good to his parents. Doing good is not only limited to outward attitudes but also to all aspects of attitude, words and deeds—including the inner aspect. This study talks about the relevance of Plato’s ethical philosophy to the concept of filial piety in the Qur’an. The background of the research points to the relationship between parents and children as fundamental in consciously shaping virtuous character. The relationship between teachers and students is like the relationship between children and their parents. Therefore, it is important to apply the attitudes of children towards their parents in the context of the relationship between teachers and their students. This research method uses descriptive analysis obtained through library research, which is obtained through relevant sources, such as books, journals, theses, dissertations, etc. The purpose of this study is of course to find out the relevance between Plato’s ethical philosophy and the concept of birr al-wālidayn in the Qur’an. Therefore, before moving on to discussing the relevance of Plato’s ethical philosophy to the concept of birr al-wālidayn in the Qur’an, the author first explains the meaning and classification of ethics, as well as ethical philosophy in Plato’s thought. The results of this research indicate that Plato’s ethical philosophy and the concept of birr al-wālidayn in the Qur’an, are relevant when denying the bad values that are often entrenched. It lies in the realization of ethical action, as stated only based on the value of goodness alone

Five Cases of Fatwa
Full text linkThe purpose of this study is to understand the change of fatwa produced by Majlis Tarjih of Muhammadiyah Association from between their first establishment in 1927 until 2019. The study about the change of fatwa produced by them considered as important study for it may affect the life of not less than 10 million members of Muhammadiyah directly or indirectly. The board has announced 16 methods used in weighting issues including their confirmation of the probability of fatwa to be changed, it made the researcher curious for whether they can keep their own methods or not in case the fatwa has been changed. The researcher has used two methods in answering the problem; the first is analysis method, and it is used to analyze the collected fatwa from books and magazines produced by Majlis Tarjih. After analyzing the change of fatwa, the researcher tried to approach the change of fatwa from the view of Islamic jurisprudential maxims and Islamic control fundamentalist to know whether the cause of change is suitable to Islamic principle or not. The researcher has collected five changes of fatwa produced by them, and they are; 1) Considering matlak to determine the beginning of Arafah fasting, 2) ban
A Daughter of Palestine: the Short Fiction of Samirah Azzam.
No full textSamirah Azzam has been considered among the best-known and admired Palestinian women writers of the 1950s and 1960s. A prolific writer, she produced between 1952 and 1967 the material for five short story collections, and an unknown number of additional stories for her radio broadcasts. Although a variety of articles have been written about her by Arab critics, the majority do not treat the full corpus of her works nor do they analyze her technique or place in Arabic literature. She has not been the subject of full-length study in either English or Arabic. Following her sudden death, a number of her literary friends and critics organized a commemorative ceremony held at Beirut Arab University in December 1967. The Dar al-Aswar publishing house in her native city of Acre reprinted the collection al-Sa('c)ah wal-Insan in 1978. In 1971 the Dar al-('c)Awdah publishing house in Beirut gathered and published a posthumous collection entitled al-('c)ld min al-Nafidhah al-Gharbiyyah, which was reprinted in 1982 with some additional material. Noteworthy scholarship appearing in 1972, 1975 and 1981 all indicate continuing interest in Azzam's writing. Azzam made contributions to the Arabic and Palestinian short story when the earlier romantic themes and styles were being ab and oned in favor of realism. Political themes in fictional writing were then being encouraged, as was socialist ideology. All of this is evident in Azzam's stories, most of which dealt with characters her critics found to be ordinary and true to life. The author was fond of recording her culture in the speeches and mannerisms of her characters, although her use of the colloquial dialect was rare. She became identified with women's concerns, but was as likely to write about men as she was to write about women. Her stories contain characterizations of strong and independent female characters of all ages, and include many stories about young people and the elderly. Azzam's writings provide deep insight into her personal experi- ence and into the environment in which she lived. With unique clarity, her stories introduce the reader to what it meant to be a child in Palestine, an exiled woman in the Arab world at large, and a writer and intellectual in Beirut and Lebanon in the change and optimism-filled years of the fifties and sixties.PhDMiddle Eastern literatureWomen's studiesBiographiesUniversity of Michiganhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/161301/1/8702810.pd
