Otoritas Istri Perspektif Akademisi Hadis: Analisis Resepsi Exegesis terhadap Hadis Rā‘iyah

Some circles use the wife’s status as an excuse to treat women as second-class citizens. The Prophet’s hadith requiring the wife to be completely subservient to her husband, such as the hadith presupposing the requirement to prostrate to her husband, is one of the frequently misinterpreted explanations. The misreading of the hadith jeopardizes the Prophet’s mission as raḥmatan li al-‘ālamīn (mercy to entire universe). The purpose of this research is to look at the hadith regarding rā‘iyah, which is a hadith that suggests features of wife leadership in order to confirm the wife's authority in the home. This study examines how hadith experts interpret the hadith about rā‘iyah. Academics’ comprehension and application of hadith demonstrate patriarchal culture’s impact, with cultural-realistic readings still dominating. Academics’ ideal comprehension of the hadith appears to have failed to mitigate the influence of the surrounding culture. This study’s conceptual implication is that the rā‘iyah hadith refutes the idea that the wife is a second-class citizen who is submissive to the husband. A fundamental that must be fostered in Muslim households is the concept of equal responsibility for family success. This article discovers that a person’s ideal understanding of hadith is not always based on actual understanding because reality and culture might influence a person’s ideal understanding of hadith. As a result, an individual’s understanding cannot be utilized as an absolute argument that matches Islamic teachings’ goals.

THE FIRST FOUR DAYS: A SCIENTIFIC VIEW FOR THE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE

The first four days of Genesis are scientifically interpreted according to the author’s well-developed black hole universe model. From this scientific view for the creation of the universe described in the book of Genesis, God in the first day created the space and time, matter and motion, charge and fundamental forces, energy and light for the infinite large entire universe. Then, in the second day, God hierarchically structured the entire universe by separating the matter and space with infinite layers that are bounded by event horizons and further formed our finite black hole universe. In the third day, God constructed the interiors of our finite black hole universe with planets, stars, galaxies, and clusters, etc. And, in the fourth day, God finally created our home planet Earth and the solar system and made lights including the Sun, Moon, and stars to give light to our universe and Earth. This up-to-date explanation to God’s creative work during the first four days has bridged the gap between Genesis and observations of the universe and brought us a scientific view and understanding on the book of Genesis. This innovative interpretation of Genesis also strongly supports the black hole universe model to be capable of revealing the mysteries of the universe. This is a synthetic article of the four papers recently published on IJTPS to interpret the first through fourth day of Genesis according to the black hole model of the universe.

GENESIS AND BLACK HOLE UNIVERSE:THE FOURTH DAY

Papers I through III has fully and self-consistently addressed the first three days of Genesis according to the author’s well-developed black hole universe model. In the first day, God created space and time, matter and motion, charge and fundamental forces, and energy and light for the infinite entire universe. Then, in the second day he hierarchically structured the entire universe by separating the matter and space with infinite layers bounded by event horizons and further formed our finite black hole universe. In the third day, God constructed the interiors of our black hole universe with planets, stars, galaxies, and clusters, etc. In this sequence of study as Paper-IV, we describe how God created our earth and solar system and generated lights including the Sun, the moon, and stars to give light to our universe and earth. The efforts of this systematic study on God’s creative work during the first four days bridged the gap between Genesis and observations of the universe and brought us a scientific understanding of the Genesis. This innovative interpretation of Genesis also strongly supports the black hole universe model to be capable of revealing the mysteries of the universe.

Complexity, Entropy, Singularity

Entropy always increases monotonically in a closed system but complexity increases at first and then decreases as equilibrium is approached. Commonsense information-related definitions for entropy and complexity demonstrate that complexity behaves like the time derivative of entropy, which is proposed here as a new definition for complexity. A 20-year old study had attempted to quantify complexity (in arbitrary units) for the entire universe in terms of 28 milestones, breaks in historical perspective, and had concluded that complexity will soon begin decreasing. That conclusion is now corroborated by other researchers. In addition, the exponential runaway technology trend advocated by supporters of the singularity hypothesis—which was in part based on the trend of the very 28 milestones mentioned above—would have anticipated five new such milestones by now, but none have been observed. The conclusions of the 20-year old study remain valid: we have passed the maximum of complexity and we should expect the next two milestones at around 2033 and 2078.

Universe: the dynamics of the minimum and maximum expansion states

Two hypotheses stand out in describing the evolution of the Universe. The predominant one predicts that the current expansion began at a certain instant and will not preserve any variation of energy that performs work; apparent flat Universe (Ω = 1) is advocated by relativistic calculations and observational data, with an end or thermal death at its maximum expansion (3D Space). The other hypothesis considers that the Universe is cyclical (always alternating phases of expansion and contraction). This proposal aims to demonstrate that both hypotheses can be correct by not being distinct, but complementary. Supported by the immutability of physical laws, analyses of concepts such as space, mass, energy, gravity, spin, and entropy define an exclusive presence of 1D Space in the minimum and maximum expansion states of the Universe. With our 3D Space Universe created and existing between these extreme states, a complete universal evolution is outlined. More objectively, all the exposed dynamics complements the usual relativity. The concept of complete rest energy (1D Space) was able to be applied, demonstrating that the evolution of the entire Universe is spatially dynamic in a perpetual time dimension, always recreating our Universe.

The evolution of philosophical views of R. M. Rilkein the context of his literary works of the turn of the XIX – XX centuries

The works of Rainer Maria Rilke, one of the most influential modernist poets of the XX century does not lose its relevance and continues to draw interest of the researchers. The goal of this work is to trace the evolution of philosophical views of R. M. Rilke in the context of his literary works of the turn of the XIX – XX centuries. The research employs hermeneutical approach for interpretation of the texts of R. M. Rilke through the prism of socio-historical conditions of that time. Systematization and generalization of the acquired data allowed assessing the formation and significance of philosophical and aesthetic views of R. M. Rilke, as well as contradictions therein. Rilke did not adhere to any philosophical systems; however, his works reflect the philosophical-worldview principles and patterns of the era, first and foremost, the symbolic aesthetics, philosophy of life, and metaphysics of art of Nietzsche. The philosophical views of R. M. Rilke in the works of his early period developed in pursuit of the unique, and in many ways, subjective attitude towards life. The conducted analysis demonstrates the process of philosophical reorientation from the subject-centered recognition of the great creator towards the objective world of things. In the lecture on Maurice Maeterlinck (1902), Rilke clearly expresses the ideas on the function of art, tasks and capabilities of an artist. After getting familiar with the work of A. Rodin, Rilke turns to the “poem-thing” genre, when the concept of thing encompasses the entire universe. The establishment of transcendental-poetic unity between the subject and the world is one of paramount philosophical ideas in the works of R. M. Rilke. The artist, objectively depicting the “thingness” of the world, is an intermediary between God and the divine spark in its interaction with the real world and man, correlates times and spaces and preserves the eternal values, which comprise the basis of the cultural code of each nation.
