There has been a concern over a high unemployment rate among graduates of Islamic higher education and a low proportion of entrepreneurs in Indonesia. In fact, a high proportion of entrepreneurs is one of indicators of a country’s welfare. This has generated a question: to what extent do Islamic values cultivate entrepreneurial culture among its adherents? How to cultivate entrepreneurial culture in Islamic higher education? This paper will investigate this matter using a case study of Faculty of Islamic Law and Economics at Banten State Institute for Islamic Studies.  The paper argues that the curriculum at the faculty of Islamic Law and Economics has not been oriented towards building entrepreneurial culture. The curriculum consists of subjects to enhance the students’ competence and skills to prepare them as bachelors of syari`ah economics for the professions such as manager, lecturer, researcher, syari`ah auditor, etc, instead of preparing them for entrepreneurs who are capable to build his or her own business from the scratch.    To propose Islamic entrepreneurship study program at the FSEI of IAIN SMHB, it is important to have a strong political will not only from the internal IAIN but also higher authoritative body such as the Ministry of Religious Affairs to facilitate this from not only the accreditation process but also financial support. A further feasibility study needs to be undertaken to build its infrastructure such as qualified lecturers, appropriate curriculum structure, and recruitment student system. Since this field has a strong link with a ‘real sector’, there has been an urgent need to build cooperations with business sector to enable the students to undertake their apprentice and build their networks to facilitate their ability to develop their own business.     Keywords: Islam, entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial education.

In Islamic Studies, charisma has usually been reserved for the study of marginalized individuals. I argue here that charisma may also be applied to leadership among legal scholars. To do so, I join a long line of scholars who have modified Max Weber’s initial insights, and put forth a new, dynamic model of charismatic authority. The purpose of my model is to account for the fact that religious histories emphasize the uniqueness of the originating charismatic event, be that Prophet Muhammad’s revelations, Jesus’ theophany or the Buddha’s enlightenment, while at the same time recognizing that the charismatic cycle never quite ends. In contrast with Weber, I argue that charismatic authority in religious traditions is best understood as a network of influence and interaction through which the routinization of charisma reinterprets and redefines the meaning of the originating charismatic event.

Abstract:Gender discourse is an issue that has its distinct challenges in Islamic studies. This is due to the notion that gender discourse emerged from the western world and is also considered less linear with Islamic studies. The main cause of this impression is due to a lack of proportional understanding. Gender does not actually treat a person on the basis of sex, but on one's competence. If the gender approach is biological-natural and irreversible, then the gender approach is constructive-social, not natural, and thus can be altered. This paper argued that Qur'an Hadith as the primary source of Islam ensures that in the issues of position, worship, and law, men and women have equal position. Nonetheless, some aspects of fiqhiyah (Islamic jurisprudence) as an implementation of the primary source's understanding are still considered biased. The differences of thinking, the culture of society, and the challenges faced by imam fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence leaders) contribute to gender biasKeywords: Gender, Islamic Law, Fiqh Abstrak: Wacana gender merupakan isu yang memiliki tantangan tersendiri dalam kajian keislaman. Di samping lahir dari dunia Barat, wacana ini dipandang kurang linier dengan kajian keislaman. Kesan ini cenderung didasarkan atas pemahaman yang kurang proporsional. Gender bukanlah memperlakukan seseorang atas dasar jenis kelamin, tetapi atas kompetensi seseorang. Jika pendekatan jenis kelamin itu bersifat biologis-kodrati dan tidak dapat diubah, maka pendekatan gender bersifat konstruk-sosial, bukan kodrati, dan dapat diubah. Sumber primer Islam, seperti Alquran Hadits, memastikan dalam persoalan kedudukan, ibadah, dan hukum antara laki-laki dan perempuan memiliki posisi yang sama. Namun, sebagian dari aspek fiqhiyah sebagai implementasi atas pemahaman sumber primer itu dipandang masih bias. Perbedaan pemikiran, budaya masyarakat, dan tantangan yang dihadapi oleh para imam fiqh berkontribusi atas bias gender.Kata Kunci: Gender, Hukum Islam, Fiqh

Three recent books focused on law, gender, and Islam not only make important individual contributions to the field of law and religion, but together, in their attention to issues of gender, sex, violence, and law, signal an important development in both this field and the field of Islamic studies. This state of the field essay examines Kecia Ali's revised and expanded edition ofSexual Ethics and Islam, Ayesha Chaudhry'sDomestic Violence and the Islamic Tradition, and Hina Azam'sSexual Violation in Islamic Law. Individually and collectively, these works shed light on the way that societies use gender as a fundamental tool of social organization and hierarchy. While Ali, Chaudhry, and Azam focus mainly on the classical Sunni Islamic tradition, their insight has wider methodological import for the study of law and religion. Further, they illuminate the intellectual diversity within the Islamic tradition, both in the past and in the present. In doing so, they draw attention to the process of how the intellectual tradition is retrieved and appropriated in contemporary contexts. Finally, their work is historical and descriptive as well as normative: this kind of scholarship challenges the distinction in the study of religion between these two categories. Ali, Chaudhry, and Azam each places her observations and arguments about classical Sunni Islamic texts and traditions in productive conversation with ethical and legal questions that Muslims face today.

The thought of Harun Nasution's educational reform began to be socialized and applied since he firstentered the elite ranks of IAIN Jakarta (in 1969, after he completed his studies at Me Gill University Canada). Atthat time Harun had the impression that the thought at IAIN before he joined it was very narrow, allergic to thingsthat smelled of renewal. An indication of this is that books containing renewed ideas, such as books written byMuhammad Abduh, for example, are prohibited from being taught at IAIN. Thought at IAIN, said Harun, is stilltraditional, which specializes in fiqh, not thinking. Whereas understanding of Islamic religion which is fiqhoriented, according to Harun, if all problems are returned to fiqh (Islamic law), then we will go back to 20 yearsago. In addition, if the IAIN is still allowed to be controlled by the narrow fiqh thinking, the government will seethat the IAIN gives birth to narrow and fundamentalist thinking in a negative sense, which is why sanat may bethe IAIN will be closed. Similar criticism was also raised by several rectors of Islamic higher educationinstitutions in this country. Azumardi Azra said that the decline in Islamic Studies was due to the weak ability ofthe principals in PTAI who did not have knowledge and perspectives in the basic Islamic sciences. In addition,Amin Abdullah also stated that in PTAI, the Philosophy of Philosophy is still weak and not much research andbooks have been formulated for this field. In this regard, the first step taken by Harun Nasution in order to renewhis Islam at IAIN is to renew the curriculum (in the narrow sense of the study material) of IAIN. In connectionwith this matter, Aaron proposed that the introduction of Islamic Studies be included in the IAIN curriculum. Thiscourse is intended to provide insights into Islam that are as broad and basic as possible. Besides that Harun alsoproposed the inclusion of courses in philosophy, kalam science, Sufism, monotheism, sociology, and researchmethodology. With the updated curriculum, Harun believes that it will help open broad insights about Islam, anurgent matter in a society that is undergoing a process of modernization.

Abstract <br />Fiqh presents with the presence of Islamic studies that then is<br />being practiced in the society. Fiqh epistemology in Indonesia as<br />the Islamic law has characters and Indonesian special features<br />either written or unwritten in the book of law. All this time, fiqh is<br />still attached with cultural trademark and Middle-Eastern tradition.<br />The socio-cultural condition of Indonesia society, however, gives<br />contribution and historical setting of Islamic law in Indonesia so<br />that fiqh reformation that is identical with Indonesian is the<br />demand and the dynamic of modern Muslims nowadays. Fiqh as a<br />necessity must be kept in touch with science as the integral part<br />and takes into account to solve the modern problems through the<br />update thought to form the Indonesian fiqh. The indigenization of<br />fiqh holistically uses the various patterns and methods. The<br />demand of updating fiqh already causes the reshuffle of fiqh<br />epistemology from teosentrisme epistemology to antroposentrisme<br />epistemology. Therefore, the contextualization of fiqh always<br />follows the socio-cultural and development of human knowledge<br />with various typology characteristics of society that are formed by<br />its socio-culture and the culture around it. Hence, fiqh will be<br />fresher than before to answer the new problems in modern society<br />in Indonesian context. <br /><br />

AbstrakSelama ini metode yang dipakai oleh para ulama dalam memahami dan menjelaskan maksud ayat-ayat Al-Qur’an adalah metode tafsir, baik yang bi al-ma’tsûr maupun yang bi ar-ra’yi. Tetapi beberapa tahun belakangan ini, mulai ditawarkan metode lain yang diklaim lebih sesuai untuk menjawab tantangan zaman sekarang ini, yaitu metode hermeneutika yang berasal dari tradisi Barat dalam memahami Alkitab. Ada yang hanya menggunakan metode hermeneutika sekadar sebagai pelengkap atau pendamping metode tafsir yang sudah dikenal selama ini, tetapi ada juga yang bersemangat ingin mengganti metode tafsir dengan hermeneutika. Makalah ini mencoba menggambarkan secara ringkas kedua metode tersebut dengan sebuah sikap, jika memang ada yang baik dari hermeneutika dan dapat membantu kita memahami Al-Qur’an dan as-Sunnah dengan lebih baik, kenapa tidak kita ambil. Sebaliknya kita juga tidak akan mengalami kesulitan apa-apa meninggalkannya jika tenyata tidak ada manfaatnya. Sikap kritis dan selektif itulah yang harus selalu dipelihara. Kata kunci: Hukum Islam, Hermeneutika, studi Islam AbstractAll this time, the method used by Ulama' for understanding and explaining of Al-Qur'an meaning is an interpretation method, both ofbi al-ma’tsûrand bi ar-ra’yi.In recent years, there is another method that is claimed as suitable for answering today's challenges, namely hermeneutic method, is from western tradition which hermeneutic method is applied in understanding the Bible.Some persons use only hermeneutic methods simply as a complement or companion of interpretationmethod that has been known all this time, however there are also eager to change from the interpretation method to hermeneutics.This paper tries to briefly describe both methods with an attitude, if there is something good from hermeneutic and can help us understand the Qur'an and as-Sunnah better, why not we take it. In contrast, we will not have any trouble when leaving if the hermeneutic does not have benefit. This critical and selective attitude must always be maintained. Keywords: Islamic law, Hermeneutic, Islamic studies.
