Fatwas of the National Sharia Council-Indonesian Ulama Council (DSN-MUI), in the field of sharia economics, has filled the legal vacuum related to the economic activities of the people. The increased of activity in the Mu'amalah area which is so fast requires a responsive fatwa. It can be seen from the rapid development of financial products for sharia financial institutions today. The legal strength of a fatwa is non-binding because it is not included in the constitution hierarchy in Indonesia which has caused debate for some people. But, several DSN-MUI fatwa have been transformed into part of national law, such as constitution No. 21 of 2008 concerning Banking, and some of which have also been absorbed into Bank Indonesia regulations, Syari'ah Financial Services Authority Regulation (OJK). This paper tries to analyze the role of fatwas in filling the legal vacuum in the development of the shari'ah economy in Indonesia and how the fatwas of the DSN-MUI can be transformed into national law. The author concludes that the role of DSN-MUI as the only institution that issued a fatwa related to the activities of shari'ah financial institutions in Indonesia is very important in the area of national legal politics.

This introductory chapter first sets out the book’s purpose, which is to describe and explain legal and conduct risk, and suggest possible approaches to the management of these risks. Legal risk is defined as risk arising in the operation and practices of the financial markets. They are a part of the spectrum of risks that are inherent in the operations of banks and other financial institutions, affecting the lives of the people who work there and the customers who put their trust in them as well as, in more extreme cases, the financial system itself. On the other hand, the European Banking Authority defines conduct risk as ‘the current or prospective risk of losses to an institution arising from an inappropriate supply of financial services including cases of wilful or negligent misconduct’.

Riba is an economic activity that is prohibited by the Qur’an. Chronologically, the ban has been outlined clearly. On the other hand, bank interest that become one pillar of the existence of financial institutions is rated synonymous with usury. Financial institutions have become a pillar of economic growth. The problem is why the Qur’an forbids usury, whereas various economic activities ‘need’ the existence of interest that are identical to the usury. This study found two findings. First, the prohibition of riba in the Qur’an have preceded other forms of restrictions are more morally intolerable that broadly impacts a major disadvantage in the community. On the other side of the Qur’an strongly encourages the public Makkah to help the poor and orphans around him. Second, the prohibition of riba in the Qur’an has relevance to the real sector of the economy. Therefore, the economy based on usury will naturally ignore the underlying transaction which is the basis of the real sector. As a result of the investors (capitalists) certainly fortunate while the money manager/entrepreneur is still no clarity, so that the position is unbalanced, unjust. The usurious economic system can lead to gaps world community economic growth constantly.

The function of da'wah and communication are also the same, namely to change someone with a specific purpose. The purpose of da'wah is to convey information and seek information to mad'u so that the material to be conveyed can be understood so that communication can be achieved. The da'i to mad’u's da'wah process is expected to have a psychological influence in improving Islamic teachings. However, the challenge of preaching in the information era has become more complex. With this required expertise in conveying his da'wah for the success of da'wah, including various treatments that are more profound and efficient.</em><em></em></pre><p> </p><p align="center">****</p><em>Perkembangan teknologi informasi mengalami kemajuan sangat pesat.

Tujuan dakwah adalah untuk menyampaikan informasi dan mencari informasi kepada mad’u agar materi yang ingin disampaikan dapat dimengerti sehingga komunikasi yang dilaksanakan dapat tercapai. Proses dakwah yang dilakukan oleh da’i kepada mad’u diharapkan mempunyai pengaruh psikologis dalam meningkatkan ajaran Islam. Namun, tantangan berdakwah di era informasi menjadi lebih komplek.

The fostering of mental health during the early periods of childhood is an area in which the pediatrician plays a vital role. There are two parts which have particular relevance for the pediatrician. One has to do with counseling around a particular problem or symptom, and the other is concerned with helping parents to understand the various stages of child development in order to prevent some of the difficulties which might otherwise be encountered. These two aspects were considered in this presentation. COUNSELING IN RESPECT TO A CHILD'S BEHAVIOR When a mother complains about her child's behavior, how can a pediatrician go about investigating it? What does one look for? And if emotional disturbances are uncovered, what can one do about them? In the field of child psychiatry there is no neat answer to every problem. A behavior problem is not a clinical syndrome any more than a symptom like fever or headache is a disease. Furthermore, the clinical syndromes in the field of child psychiatry are not as yet very well defined. There are variables among the determinants of most human behavior which are hard to identify and to evaluate, and usually there are some that are unknown. This leads to the necessity of tentativeness at first in planning for a child's treatment, and uncertainty, often, as to prognosis. For anyone, the effectiveness of what is done depends greatly upon how adequate an understanding of the child's environmental background one is able to acquire. Such aspects of the environmental background as the emotional atmosphere of the home, the personalities and emotional adjustment of the parents, the feelings of the parents toward the child and his behavior, and the feelings of the child about the people around him, are all important.
