Enhancement Technologies

Physically and intellectually, man is not the same as a million years ago. This “improvement” in humans has occurred over a period of time and not as a result of any outside biotechnical intervention. So, the question is what is the need now? The fine line between what can be done technically and what should be done morally is the reason for biomedical ethics. What is the nature of man, and what is his relationship with his creator and his environment? Whose interest (man, God, and environment) are we as scientists and physicians to guard? What are the rights of the unborn, and who protects those rights? While seeking medical treatment for infertility and reconstructive surgery for a malformation or genetic manipulation for a genetic disease might perhaps be appropriate and recommended, is it also appropriate to create a super healthy, super human with genetic manipulation? If so, then are we embarking on the path of ethnic cleansing of humans of lesser ability, and is it appropriate to discriminate? In this paper, such questions and concerns are discussed from an Islamic perspective.

Spermatogenic Failure

Infertility is a couple's problem. Almost 50% case males are responsible for infertility. Most common cause is oligospermia and azoospermia and approximately 5% to 15% of men with azoospermia and severe oligospermia may have a chromosomal abnormality. Men with significant spermatogenic compromise are the candidates of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Raised FSH level above 9 is an indication of spermatogenic compromise. So, medical treatment for these patients is waste of time and money. Early attempt of assisted reproduction is ideal to avoid the crisis of total spermatogenic failure in near future. But before going for ICSI genetic testing if possible and proper counseling about possibilities of transmission of genetic disease to offspring is necessary.

Abstract: The leader is the most important figure in a sphere of community life, both small and broad, the progress of a sphere of society depends on how the leader in bringing the country, whether it is more advanced, prosperous or vice versa. Therefore, it is the responsibility of all of us as a citizen to be selective in choosing a leader. Islam as a religion of revelation for Muslims and make it as a guide in carrying out their lives, including in political matters, namely becoming a leader. The leader has an important position in Islam. In the Islamic view of non-Muslim leaders, there are differences of opinion of the scholars about the legitimate or non-Islamic leaders in the Islamic perspective. The difference in opinion is due to the perception in understanding the verses about saints or awliya 'mentioned in the Qur'an Moreover, the current reality of the state of Indonesia is not an Islamic state, but a democratic state, which has a majority of its citizens, who are Muslim. In Indonesia, to become a leader in positive law and in the Constitution, there is no explanation which explains that the requirements to be a leader in Indonesia must be religious and prohibit non-Muslim religion. the opening of the 1945 Constitution only explained that in Indonesia there was no difference between ethnicity, religion, language, culture, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a deeper study in understanding it so that there is no misunderstanding among the people.Keywords: Leaders; Indonesia; Islam; Non-Muslims; Constitution

The notion of CSR from Islamic perspective has been viewed as a comprehensive discourse when it is already embedded the element of spiritual (Tawhid and Taqwa), economics, ethics and legality. However, there is a black box in the process of managing CSR fund which is used to conduct the CSR initiatives. Thus, this study attempts to revisit the issues by discussing Islamic concept of CSR practices and to gain insights the process of managing various sources of CSR fund. By using case study approach, a group of key CSR players at Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad as well as the recipients of the initiatives have been interviewed. Moreover, an in-field observation and CSR documentations analysis have been employed to get the whole picture of managing the CSR activities and also the fund. The results show that he CSR initiatives at the bank are highly associated with religious obligations and the main source of CSR fund is derived from the zakat fund. In addition, donation, non-compliance Shariah income and purification fund have been used to fulfill various stakeholders' demands. Thus, these findings provide an avenue to conceptualize the concept and practices of CSR in Islamic view and encourage other business entities to manage their financial resources (CSR fund) systematically to support the CSR activities.

Islamic View

Contemporary Muslim scholar Said Nursi’s (1877-1960) view of animals is highly spiritual. His positive thinking philosophy extends to the natural environment and includes animals considered harmful to humans. His view of not killing harmful animals contradicts with the majority Islamic scholarly works which permit the killing of detrimental ones. His understanding of the interconnectedness of natural beings and things as well as their connection to the Divine is the major source for his works. Nursi views each created thing as a piece of the puzzle of the universe in harmony with each other. To him, animals have a deep spiritual aspect alongside their physical dimension. This article argues that throughout his works, Nursi – with his unique perspectives on spiritual approaches towards the environment and devotion to the creation – more than any other Islamic scholar, defended the Islamic view against naturalists and attempted to Islamicize natural philosophy by addressing theists. He views nature as art not the Artist. This article examines Nursi’s positive thinking and actions towards animals as he presents a renewed interpretation of Islamic sacred sources.

يتناول البحث بالتحليل مفهومي التعارف والتدافع وموقعهما في الحوار الحضاري من المنظور الإسلامي، ومحاولة توضيح مسألة التعارف الحضاري والتدافع الحضاري بوصفهما من المفاهيم التأسيسية لصلة المسلم بالمسلم أولاً، ثم صلة هذا المسلم بأصحاب الحضارات الأخرى. ويوظف البحث المنهج التاريخي والتحليلي ليعالج موقع التعارف والتدافع في عملية الحوار، مستهدفاً بناء إطار عام لمسألة الحوار المنضبطة بقيم التعارف وقوانين التدافع، وتمتلك رؤية منسجمة تماماً مع الفطرة، ومستوعبة للتحولات الديناميكية في الفعل الحضاري. وتوظّف القوة بمفهومها الحضاري والعمراني والاستخلافي، حتى تنضبط بقوة الإيمان، وقوة القيم، وقوة المعرفة والعلم، وقوة البصيرة والرشد، وقوة الحكمة والبيان. This paper analyses the position of two important concepts namely; reciprocal acquaintance "ta’aruf" and contention "tadafu'" in dialogue from an Islamic perspective. It demonstrates their role in building the relationship between the Muslim and others. The paper follows historical and textual analysis to develop a general framework in this regared. The paper concludes that the Islamic view of dialogue conforms to norms of human nature and recognizes the vibrant changes that civilizational action has underwent throughout history. As such, Islam views dialogue as a dynamic process taking place in a complex reality guided by the values of ta’aruf and patterns of tadafu’. The latter, requires the articulation of the concept of power in such a way that ensures controlling power by faith, value, knowledge, conscience and wisdom.
