The sources of data from this study were extension workers at KUA Kapur IX District and books related to this research. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of Premarital Guidance at the KUA of Kapur IX District is carried out every Thursday starting at 10.00 WIB until it is finished. The methods used in providing premarital guidance to the bride and groom are lecture, discussion, and question and answer methods. In the implementation of premarital guidance at KUA Kapur IX District there were several supporting and inhibiting factors in achieving the successful implementation of the premarital guidance. The supporting factors are the willingness of the bride and groom, adequate facilities and infrastructure, and professional extension workers.

Deconstructing Dialectic & Rhetoric in American Political Debate
Get PDFIn our American liberal democracy, political progress happens when leaders effectively communicate ideas to the public. These ideas are often shared in debates. However, recent years have seen a devolution in the method by which political debates are conducted. In past years, these debates were dialectical—in other words, they sought to establish truth from two opposing viewpoints. In American politics, however, recent years have seen debates become forums for rhetoric—a style of communication that places emphasis on persuasion without consideration for the opposition. This was not always the case. Politicians used to employ dialectical debate methods, but over time, debate has shifted from a dialectical form to a rhetorical one. In this project, I seek to explore this devolution from dialectic to rhetoric in American political debate. Now more than ever, it is necessary to ask questions about the increasing presence of rhetoric and its wholesale replacement of dialectic. In the aftermath of President Trump’s employment of divisive rhetoric without basis in fact, the divisions in our country are deeper than ever. The opportunity for dialogue seems all but closed as the brute force of rhetoric encloses the electorate in distinct bubbles. So, I ask one framing question: how did American political debate devolve from a dialectical endeavor to a strictly rhetorical one? To answer this question, I first spend time defining dialectic and rhetoric using ancient philosophical schools of thought. Proceeding from these definitions, I track the historical progression of political debate since the New Deal Era. I perform a philosophical analysis of the 1965 Baldwin-Buckley debate and the 2020 Biden-Trump one. After analyzing these debates, I present the theory that this devolution into rhetoric in political debates is the result of shifting “winning” criteria delineated by advancements in communicative technology. Finally, I will chart a path forward endeavoring to restore dialogue: practicing controversy with civility

Untuk empat orang lainnya mereka belum faham terkait nishab dan kadar zakatnya, akan tetapi mereka sudah faham terkait pendistribusian zakatnya. Kedua, terkait implementasi zakat hasil tambang batu kapur putih menurut penulis bahwa pelaksanaan zakat yang harus ditunaikan oleh para pemilik tambang batu kapur putih ini adalah zakat harta perdagangan bukan berupa zakat tambang. Dengan alasan karena omset perbulan dari para pemilik tambang batu kapur putih ini belum mencapai satu nishab. Taksiran omset perbulan yang diperoleh para pemilik tambang batu kapur putih ini sekitar 10-40 juta rupiah. Maka dalam hal ini tidak bisa menunaikan dengan konsep zakat pertambangan perspektif Mazhab Syafi’i karena belum mencapai satu nishab. Sedangkan jika ditunaikan dengan konsep zakat harta perdagangan perspektif Mazhab Syafi’i maka sudah mencapai satu nishab, karena jika disetahunkan omset pertahun yang diperoleh para pemilik tambang batu kapur putih ini mencapai 120-400 juta rupiah.
ABSTRACT
In the Gosari Village area, Ujungpangkah District, Gresik Regency, there are people who mostly work in the mining sector, both mine owners and mining coolies, where this natural product is a source of income for mining coolies and a source of wealth for mine owners. No wonder the profession as a mine owner has many houses that look prosperous and their lifestyle is also very well established. So in this case it is interesting to know whether the owners of this white limestone mine will carry out their zakat. The formulation of the problem in this study is 1) How is the understanding of the owner of the white limestone mine regarding the zakat of the white limestone mining products in Gosari Village, Ujungpangkah District, Gresik Regency? 2) How is the implementation of zakat from white limestone mining in Gosari Village, Ujungpangkah District, Gresik Regency, from the perspective of the Syafi'i Sect?
This is an empirical research that uses qualitative approach. In receiving the data, the author is using interviews and documentations. While the data are being proceed by data checking, classification, verification, analysis, and taking a conclusion.
The conclusions from the results of this study are first, related to the understanding of the mine owners regarding the zakat of the white limestone mining products, namely from the five resource persons there is one mine owner who already understands how much is the nishab, what is the level of zakat and distributed to whom. only the zakat. For the other four people, they do not understand the nishab and the level of zakat, but they do understand the distribution of zakat. Second, regarding the implementation of zakat from white limestone mining, according to the author, the implementation of zakat that must be paid by the owners of this white limestone mine is zakat on trading assets, not in the form of mining zakat. The reason is that the monthly turnover of these white limestone quarries has not reached one nishab. The estimated monthly turnover obtained by the owners of this white limestone mine is around 10-40 million rupiah. So in this case it can not be fulfilled with the concept of mining zakat from the perspective of the Shafi'i School because it has not yet reached one nishab. Meanwhile, if it is carried out with the concept of zakat on trading assets from the perspective of the Syafi'i School, then it has reached one nishab, because if it is annualized the annual turnover obtained by the owners of this white limestone mine reaches 120-400 million rupiah.
