The need of the present times speaks for bringing the face of a merciful God once again. The concept of ”mercy” is often neglected today, and it even hinders modern man, who, through the previously unknown development of science and technology, more than ever in the human history, has subdued the earth and became its master. The awareness of man’s loneliness, his alienation from the community of the world, tradition and religion, and the conviction that he – man – is the creator of his own humanity, have become dominant. Life itself becomes the central value for him, not the immortality of life. The only content he has left are his whims and desires devoid of permanent and certain measures – doomed to variables determined by the condition and social situation – values. His existence was revealed to him in all its nakedness and fragility, arousing fear and concern with regard to loneliness, illness and death. And yet, through her life, Saint Faustine Kowalska showed unlimited trust in God’s mercy, thus opening herself to the action of grace, which allowed her to give her life the right purpose. This purpose of life is determined by faith, which for many followers of Christ became the foundation of their lives.

Since inception, human race has always witnessed pandemics, disasters and wars, but it is the resilient spirit that has brought us this far. With each passing devastation, we rebuild ourselves and stand even stronger than before. Although there are numerous factors that help to inculcate resilience within humans, Science and Technology have ever remained faithful and have suggested promising ways using which we could combat our ‘unseen enemy’ today and even in the past. Today, at this hour, when the world is overburdened by the chaos of COVID-19, people are looking up to Science and Technology for the ways they can offer to eradicate this disease from the face of the earth. As it is rightly said, “Necessity is the mother of invention”, it can be safely concluded that Science and Technology are boosted by resilience. The human race has found the best of its innovations while undergoing some very troubled times. The current crisis in front of us is the situation now where the world has been segregated and people have been isolated. But thanks to technology that is knitting us close together. On the other hand, Science is playing its part to help discover effective drugs, improve human immunity and all this is being done to ensure the smooth running of human civilization. This paper intends to bring into view the notable contributions of Science and Technology that are today being used and exploited extensively in light of this pandemic outbreak.

In March 1943, having narrowly escaped Europe three years earlier, Abraham Joshua Heschel published “The Meaning of This War,” his first essay in an American publication. The essay shows, quite remarkably, his full command of literary English. It also shows, as biographer Edward Kaplan remarks, that Heschel “had found his militant voice.” “Emblazoned over the gates of the world in which we live,” the essay begins, “is the escutcheon of the demons. The mark of Cain in the face of man has come to overshadow the likeness of God. There have never been so much guilt and distress, agony and terror. At no time has the earth been so soaked with blood.” Heschel's extraordinary life's witness, his whole body of work, traverses precisely this anthropological and theological knife's edge: The mark of Cain in the face of man has come to overshadow the likeness of God. Where is God? Or better, Who is God? in relation to the rapacious misuse and idolatrous distortion of human freedom? Or simply, Is God?

In a recent number of The Harvard Theological Review, Professor Douglas Clyde Macintosh of the Yale Divinity School outlines in a very interesting manner the religious system to which he gives his adherence. For “substance of doctrine” (to use a form of speech formerly quite familiar at New Haven) this religious system does not differ markedly from what is usually taught in the circles of the so-called “Liberal Theology.” Professor Macintosh has, however, his own way of construing and phrasing the common “Liberal” teaching; and his own way of construing and phrasing it presents a number of features which invite comment. It is tempting to turn aside to enumerate some of these, and perhaps to offer some remarks upon them. As we must make a selection, however, it seems best to confine ourselves to what appears on the face of it to be the most remarkable thing in Professor Macintosh's representations. This is his disposition to retain for his religious system the historical name of Christianity, although it utterly repudiates the cross of Christ, and in fact feels itself (in case of need) quite able to get along without even the person of Christ. A “new Christianity,” he is willing, to be sure, to allow that it is—a “new Christianity for which the world is waiting”; and as such he is perhaps something more than willing to separate it from what he varyingly speaks of as “the older Christianity,” “actual Christianity,” “historic Christianity,” “actual, historical Christianity.” He strenuously claims for it, nevertheless, the right to call itself by the name of “Christianity.”

The Palestinian tragedy is not simply a matter of one nation-state suppressing another nation that has been deprived of its legitimate right to establish its own state. It is also an ‘international problem’ granting that it has regional, international and global dimensions which implicate the hegemonic world system. Besides, Israel’s aversion to a peaceful posture vis-à-vis the outside world is a threat to international peace and security as defined in the Charter of the United Nations. An emancipatory approach to the Palestinian problem requires that the narrative about the ‘two-state solution’ be abandoned given that it has become a rhetorical shield for international society’s silence in the face of the Israeli fait accomplis in occupied territories. The Arab and the Muslim world, alongside the rest of international society, should no longer view Israel as a ‘normal’ state. Rather, the world ought to consider acting collectively to impose economic, financial, military, political/diplomatic, and cultural embargo against this aggressive, expansionist, and racist state through the United Nations and a host of other international and regional organizations, as was the case vis-à-vis the Apartheid South Africa during the Cold War.

The understanding of religious moderation must be understood contextually not textually, meaning that moderation in religion in Indonesia is not moderate Indonesia, but a moderate way of understanding in religion because Indonesia has many cultures and customs. This study aims to describe how human self-development becomes a knowledgeable figure as a torch or lamp of religious moderation in the era of new media 4.0. The approach in this study uses a descriptive approach. Without the goal of realizing maslahat, religious moderation will never exist. All religions, laws, and ways of life that exist, were actually born for the sake of realizing maslahat. It is because of this maslahat and this is the only reason, Allah sent down the holy books, sent messengers, and established the laws of the Shari'a. Also, due to this maslahat, the minds of all philosophers, experts and thinkers drain all the legacy of the vast human race. Islam strongly criticizes the attitude of neglecting efforts and the desire to seek benefit on the pretext of tawakal to Allah. In order to find the intended benefits, humans are highly demanded in mastering science and technology as the main prerequisites. Human history is full of various events and events which confirm that humans are always looking for common benefit. A knowledgeable human will be able to understand religious moderation very well. Knowledge that is beneficial to mankind is knowledge that can lead humans to a better life, closer to Allah and not cause damage to the earth.

The article focuses on the novels «Tomorrow The Cats» (2016) and «Her Majesty the Cat» (2019) by French author B. Werber, in which the author presents one of his options for the future interaction of a man with an animal, where the latter is depicted outside the traditional perception of a man. The work explores the writer’s vision of future relationships between species and the conditional symbiosis of animals and people in order to save both. The study examines cyborg-animals that strive to change the world order. The writer in the novels presents a new level of human interaction with another (laboratory animal, cyborg animal) and calls for revision of the generally accepted human perception of animals. A man must abandon traditional highness and consider ways to stop environmental problems, among which are the extinction of rare species of animals. The author tries to warn a person, therefore describes a number of situations in which a man appears to be cruel to the world around, and to protect a future man from results of her own actions. Against the background of the war, the author depicts the problem of human interaction with the outside world, in which the threat to everything alive is not only looting, plague, but also the invasion of rats who seek to dominate the city. For general salvation, animals unite with people, which makes it possible for the writer to interpret the image of an animal as a species close to humans. B. Werber says that the mission of people on earth is changing, they should worry not only about their species, but also about the world around and notes «The Earth is laid to the same extent to all forms of life, animals or plants that inhabit it. And no species objectively has the right to proclaim itself "higher than others"».

Islamic da'wah is the mission of spreading Islam throughout history. The process of proselytizing Islam shows continuous, continuous and gradual activities. Da'wah activities are to call, invite and call people to believe and obey Allah. Social change always causes changes in society, one of which is globalization which has positive and negative impacts on the positive side, for example the development of science and technology that can be enjoyed by all social groups in society. Through preaching, people must be encouraged to master science and technology in the face of ever-developing social change. Da'wah also motivates people to work so that the economic potential can be directed towards the right path, which in the end the people can achieve glory. Good social change and the pleasure of Allah SWT is what then becomes the duty and responsibility of humans. With the covid-19 pandemic, it also affects the public mindset. The change in da'wah strategy through online media platforms and other technologies is considered quite effective in spreading religious messages.

In the sense that myth is a reordering of various random elements into an intelligible, useful pattern, a structuring of the past in terms of present priorities, nineteenth-century Englishmen were inveterate myth-makers. As liberal and scientific thought shook the foundations of belief, the Victorians erected gothic spires as monuments to a medieval order of supposedly simple, strong faith. While their industrial masses languished, they extolled the virtues of self-made men. Confronted with foreign competitors and rebellious colonials, they instinctively asserted the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race. In classic myth-making style, the Victorians set about “reorganizing traditional components in the face of new circumstances or, correlatively, in reorganizing new, imported components in the light of tradition.”Myth not only serves self-validating ends; it also provides a cohesive rationale, a fulcrum propelling people towards great achievements. If the Victorians were confident and self-congratulatory, they had cause to be: their material, intellectual, and political accomplishments were many. Not the least of their successes was in the sphere of sports and games, a subject often ignored by historians. Especially in the development of ball games—Association and Rugby football, cricket, lawn tennis, and golf—the Victorians modernized old games, created new ones, and exported them all to the four corners of the earth. Stereotyped as overly-serious folk, they in fact “taught the world to play.”Since sport, more than most forms of human activity, lends itself to myth-making, it is not surprising to find a myth emerging among the late-Victorians having to do with the origins of Rugby football. Like baseball's Doubleday myth, the tale of William Webb Ellis inspiring the distinctive game of rugby is a period piece, reflecting more of the era which gave it birth than of the event to which it referred.
