The tradition of Qashidah Burdah reading againsts sick people carried out at the East Sera village is different from the other regions. The difference is the aim of the practice which is more specific and focus to cure disease. It indicates that the tradition of Qashidah Burdah reading carried out at the East Sera village has meaning and function specifications which can not be found in other areas. East Sera society interpret Qashidah Burdah tradition as an alternatif treatment media implemented when the other media treatments (medical and shaman) are not able to cure. In addition, the tradition of Qashidah Burdah reading againsts sick person also has several functions; namely socio-economic function (this media treatment is much cheaper than the others); socio-religious function (it can strengthen monotheism, fortitude and resignation to Allah), and socio-cultural function as a medium for preserving helpfulness attitude, familiarity, and social solidarity. The existence of those functions – both latent and manifest – becomes the reason of why the tradition of Qashidah Burdah reading againsts sick people still continues to be preserved by the people of East Sera.

Food and feast are integral and key components of human cultures across the world. Feasts associated with religious rituals have special social and cultural significance when compared to those in any other festivities or celebrations in people’s life. In this study, an approach is made to comparatively analyze the feasts at religious festivals of two distinctive groups of people, one with a characteristic of simple society and the other of a complex society. The annual feast happening at the hamlets of the Anchunadu Vellalar community in the last days of the calendar year is an occasion that portrays the egalitarian nature of the people. While this feast is restricted within a single community of particular caste affiliation and geographical limitations, the feast associated with the kaliyattam ritual of village goddess in North Malabar is much wider in scope and participation. The enormous feast brings the people in a larger area and exhibits a solidarity that cuts across boundaries of religion, caste and community. Beyond the factors of social solidarity and togetherness, these events also illustrate its divisive characters mainly in terms of social hierarchy and gender. A comparative study of both the two feasts of two different contexts reveals the characteristic features of religious feasts and the value of food and feast in social life and solidarity and also how it acts as a survival of their past and as a tradition.

This article discusses Bediuzzaman Said Nursi’s ideas on significance of the Practices of the Prophet (Sunna) for modern people. In the present day, many modern people deal with some problems such as spiritual crisis (existential vacuum), moral degradation, and so on. On the other hand, according to Said Nursi, Practices of the Prophet are all highly beneficial remedies for sicknesses of the spirit, mind, and heart, and particularly for social sicknesses. Accordingly, Practices of the Prophet could give the best solution for modern people problems, both individual sicknesses and social sicknesses. Before proposing Said Nursi’s perspective about significance of sunna, the paper forwards epistemological questions: How are the meaning and function of sunna according to Said Nursi? How are the urgent problems of modern people? What is the significance of Practices of the Prophet for modern people in the view of Said Nursi? The answer of these questions will determine the significance of the Practices of the Prophet in our era and in the future.

Pancasila is a guide for the Indonesian people in society, nation and state. Over time, the ideology of the Pancasila began to fade in people's lives; this could be due to the current of globalization. The community began not to pay too much attention to the values in the Pancasila. As one example this can be seen around the Al-Manar mosque which tends to individualism. The existing Pancasila values seem to be marginalized and become a new problem today. Itmakes writer to examine how the people understand the Pancasila in the Al-Manar mosque and how to plant the values of Pancasila and religious teachings in Muslim life in the Al-Manar mosque The purpose of this paper is to be able to provide insight to the community on the importance of planting Pancasila values and teachings. The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive. Data is collected through observation, interviews and documents related to research. The technique used in analyzing is spreading data, retrieving data according to the problem and drawing conclusions. From the results of the study it was found that the majority of the people in the Al-Manar mosque understood the meaning and function of the Pancasila as the state foundation and unifying the Indonesian nation.

This article seeks to elaborate Ahmad Syafii Maarif's thoughts on the issue of diversity of identities in Indonesia. The reflection is related to the main problems about the state, religion, and morality that are triggered by conflicts of interest and political (ego) identity. Basically, diversity is a social reality for the people of Indonesia, as a country based on Pancasila and Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity). According to Syafii Maarif, in the case of multi-identity problems in Indonesia, this requires government intervention, although Syafii Maarif also criticizes government policies, because this problem is related to collective responsibility. On the other hand, diversity is also a divine reality that is taught in the holy revelations (the Qur'an) as a guide for life. Syafii Maarif has emphasized that the majority of Muslims in Indonesia need to express their faith. Therefore, the contextualization of the Qur'an as faith and intellectual practice requires wisdom and deep contemplation. The contextualization of these values is always needed at all times, as the function of the Qur'an as al-furqān (the difference between right and wrong). Finally, Syafii Maarif's thought on the issue of multi-identity was an attempt to realize Islamic humanist values and bridge them with Pancasila.

Ibn Khaldun mentioned in his introduction the truth of livelihood and earning and what is the value of human works, I know that man lacks his nature to his strength and supplies in all stages since his inception to his adulthood, and what he got from this hand refrained from the other except mosquitoes, so that he would spend what God has done from them, in collecting his needs and necessities by paying for them. Then I know that the gain is by seeking acquisition and the intention to earn a living. The objects and types of pension depend on what the investigators meant by the people of literature and wisdom, they said: "The pension is an emirate, trade, agriculture and industry." The emirate is based on the method of earning and earning stipends on the royal levies and their people to obtain a pension, and the trade depends on the transfer of goods from one country to another in order to obtain profit, which is the difference between the value of buying and selling. With regard to farming, it is the profession of hard work, fatigue and misery to obtain a natural pension, as approved by Ibn Khaldun. With regard to industry, she is the one with the knowledge and knowledge to collect a natural pension. With regard to the types of human services to earn a pension, they depend on their method and their provision to the people on social conditions, because the service in the other doors of the emirate and the king who is his way, from the soldier, the policeman and the writer, and who take care of their livelihood from the house of money of the king, sultan or state, and the owners of money and the jah, take care of his servants out of their own money to carry out the work they need. With regard to people with weak minds, they are looking for treasures buried underground to obtain a pension, and in this sense they do not want to make effort and tired to earn

AbstractConventional wisdom about civil litigation, both among scholars and political actors, holds that abuse of the legal process is common, that there is too much litigation, that it is “all about the money”, and that “a bad settlement is better than a good trial”. This constellation of attitudes that emphasize the economic function of law suggests that courts are an expensive conflict resolution mechanism of last resort and that their use would be minimized in a healthy market-based democracy. In this paper we apply a new sociological framework to understand the meaning and function of civil litigation in a democratic society. We focus in particular on the democratic function of the informational characteristics of litigation that require substantial disclosure and engagement between plaintiff, defendant and third parties. Instead we examine the role courts play in the maintenance and attainment of a social information order – norms and legal rules governing the sharing and withholding of information that depend on and constitute particular status relationships between actors (Ryan 2006). Using interviews and surveys of family members of victims of 9/11 we develop a theory of the lived experience of entitlement to information in Anglo-American legal settings with suggestions of how these ideas might translate to civil law systems.

This article discusses the Maro tradition of Banyumas commu- nity, whose existence is endangered by the modernization. Maro is a tradition dealing with agriculture profit share between a landowner and the cultivators by dividing the harvest into two equal parts, half is for the landowner, and the other half is for the cultivator. Maro is commonly applied for dividing the net profit, i.e. the amount of harvest minus the expenses of plantation processes. This tradition enables the low social- economy class to survive as they get the fair benefit for their efforts. The data of this research were collected through interviewing the people en- gaged in the Maro tradition as well as literary studies from previous re- searches related to the topic. This research finds that maro tradition in Banyumas has been popular since the arrival of tarekat in this region. The lands owned by kyai were rented to the cultivators whose payment is given in the form of profit-sharing, called Maro. With such a system, the profit is shared fairly to the cultivators who have done a lot of effort in producing rice. This system meets Islamic values, which emphasize profit sharing based on efforts and work performances. The landowners give freedom to the cultivators, and the net harvest obtained is divided equally between the two parties. Maro system, which was carried out with an oral contract, is considered not to burden the cultivators because of the clear counting system and easy procedures. Social solidarity is also formed in this tradition, it employs people to help the planting and harvesting process, called sambatan.
