The application of the word ‘dialogue’ has a life as long as history and the old texts of religions are full of dialogues prevailing among different religious people. Reviewing and analysing the background and history of religious dialogue in the world, more than anything else, we understand the principle of necessity and position of dialogue as a common and public principle among religions, which in a broader view has been acceptable to most, if not all, religious people. This issue indicates that a spiritual and inherent sense is within the substantial core of all humans towards dialogue, which as a natural and inherent feature has been prevailing from the beginning of creation up to the present, and it will continue so. Firstly, employing the dialogue or saying and listening either to the inner self or the other people, when it is being formed with a commitment to human principles, will make human overpass a self-oriented attitude and recognition other persons. Secondly, it makes him/her listen and tolerate others’ views. Thirdly, it makes him/her be committed towards the principle of tolerance and recognise of the other(s) as well. On this basis, the continuity of the principle of dialogue and emphasis on this innate tradition will cause the spread of the culture of tolerance, peace and tranquillity. Furthermore, distancing from dialogue will lay down grounds for a self-oriented attitude, prejudice, pride, omission of others and violence in human society. On this case, while giving originality to dialogue, Islam clearly and firmly puts dialogue forth as a basic principle in human relations and a base to achieve the common ideals of human communities, which are discussed in detail in this article.

In matters of inheritance between religious people, Islam has determined in the Law which establishes the authority of the Court. This authority has been approved in a limited way in the Religious Court Law. The problem that often occurs is that the advocate as the attorney of the plaintiff (client) does not follow the provisions submitted and submitted to the District Court on the basis of Unlawful Acts. In general, clients do not know about the endorsement. When this happens, the role of the advocate will be canceled by the role of the religious court and deciding the case of inheritance between Muslims (Islamic personaliatas)

<p>The existence and role of religion (Islam) get a sharp criticism, which essentially needs a re-examination of religious dogma that has been frozen, if religion does not want to be abandoned by the swift stream of modernization. Truly the religion God revealed to the earth is for man. So religion is born to man, not man born to religion. If man is born to religion, then the most prominent is his transcendent dimension, the religious world from which he came, far from the earth. If so, then humans enter into the world aIkoholistik-theocentric, intoxicated. Factors that cause humans away from the ideal message of the Qur'an is a factor understanding of religion. A series of worship conducted by religious people such as prayer, zakat, fasting, pilgrimage, and the like only stop at the point of carrying out obligations (fiqh oriented) and become a symbol of piety, while the fruits of worship that dimensi sosial less visible. Among religious communities, there has been a misunderstanding in interpreting and appreciating and appreciating the symbolic message. As a result, religion is understood only as an individual savior and not as a social blessing.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Eksistensi dan peran agama (Islam) mendapatkan kritik tajam, yang intinya perlu adanya pengkajian ulang terhadap dogma agama yang selama ini telah membeku, jika agama tidak ingin ditinggalkan begitu saja oleh derasnya arus modernisasi. Sesungguhnya agama itu diturunkan Tuhan ke bumi memang untuk manusia. Jadi agama lahir untuk manusia, bukan manusia lahir untuk agama. Jika manusia lahir untuk agama, maka yang pal­ing menonjol adalah dimensi transendennya, dunia agama tempat asal ia turun, jauh dari bumi. Jika demikian, maka manusia masuk kedalam dunia <strong>a</strong>Ikoholistik-teosentris, mabuk ketuhanan. Faktor yang menyebabkan manusia jauh dari pesan ideal al Quran adalah faktor pemahaman terhadap agama. Serangkaian ibadah yang dilakukan umat beragama (Islam) seperti shalat, zakat, puasa, haji, dan sejenisnya hanya berhenti pada sebatas menjalankan kewajiban (fiqh oriented) dan menjadi simbol kesalehan, sedangkan buah ibadah yang berdimensi sosial kurang nampak. Di kalangan masyarakat beragama, telah terjadi kesalahpahaman dalam memaknai dan menghayati serta mengapresiasi pesan simbolik itu. Akibatnya, agama hanya di pahami sebagai penyelamat individu dan bukan sebagai keberkahan sosial.</p><p> </p>

The current research examines differences in what motivates environmentally sustainable behavior between more and less religious people in the United States. We found that religiosity moderates the extent to which environmental beliefs predict pro-environmental support. Specifically, environmental beliefs predicted pro-environmental support less strongly among more religious people than less religious people (Studies 1 and 2). Using a correlational (Study 2) and an experimental (Study 3) design, we further found that one particular aspect of religiosity—believing in a controlling god—reduced the importance of personally held environmental beliefs in shaping one’s support for pro-environmental actions. Our findings suggest that motivation to act based on personal beliefs may be attenuated among people who are religious because they believe in an external source of control. Sociocultural factors, such as religion, shape the psychological underpinnings of social actions, and the present research underscores the importance of understanding psychological diversity in promoting support toward environmental sustainability.

AbstractThe social-philosophical discussion about the role of religion in late modern society opens up new perspectives for a public theology in general and a public religious pedagogy in specific. This contribution develops some of these perspectives referencing primarily Jürgen Habermas’ proposal to understand secularization as a common complementary process of learning of religious and non-religious people, in which translation gains central relevance. The consequences for religious pedagogy include the foundation as well as the conceptualization and impact of public religious learning.
