Globalization is recognized as consciously carrying two sides of values ​​for human life, namely good values ​​and bad values. These two sides of value penetrate into all aspects of the order of life. Consequently, globalization raises many problems that plague the inhabitants of planet earth today. Among the impacts of globalization are the emergence of contemporary issues related to religion as well as challenges for Islamic da'wah, such as: religious pluralism, liberal Islam (religious liberalism), radicalism-terrorism and so on. Islam and its people who are in a global vortex and are related to several contemporary issues should come to the surface with contemporary Islamic ideas or thoughts to answer the challenge of da'wah while positioning Islam as a universal religion. Contemporary Islamic thought is thought that is able to bridge between the two poles, namely between tradition and modernity (al-turats wa al-hadatsah), so that it raises new awareness in giving birth to ideas that can respond to contemporary problems. Preaching contemporary Islamic thought like this is essentially continuing the missionary task that Allah and His Messenger ordered.   Keywords: Globalization, Da'wah, Contemporary Islam

The Relationship

For those who wish to affirm a culture that values human life, the relationship between science and religion continues to be of import. Some, like Edward O. Wilson, think that naturalistic science will eventually account for all phenomena, even religious experience itself. This essay considers Wilson's hypothesis by surveying three classic explanations of universal religious belief: Sigmund Freud's projection theory, Charles Darwin's evolutionarry paradigm, and John Calvin's sensus divinitatis. Both Freud's and Darwin's views suffer from self-referential and evidential problems. In contrast, Calvin's model handles well major objections of religious pluralism and atheism. Of these three, Calvin's view is superior. Religion may not be reducible to a naturalistic explanation, and those who wish to promote a culture of life ought to view the relations between science and religion in a non-Wilsonian fashion, eschewing reductionism.

Rumour has been part of collective human life for centuries. Communities deal with anxiety and make sense of the unknowable by mixing apprehensions with what is already known to them. With modernity, and in line with studies on a range of social phenomena, there have been efforts to develop a science on rumour. Most of these studies deal with rumour at the propositional level, such that the rumouring or rumour-rebutting subject invariably belongs to one of the two sides of the ‘true–false’ divide. Similar categories are followed in the study of rumour in social media, where the nodes in a rumour chain are, however, less hierarchical, and where images are increasingly used for persuasion. This paper, following a value-oriented approach, argues that the science on rumour has objectivized the problem, and has suggested instrumental solutions like enhancing the digital literacy of social media users. Whereas a value position should ideally attempt to efface the dilemma of the rumouring/rumour-rebutting subject, and locate rumours within the larger socio-political and historical context of a society.

Existing Data

This article seeks to highlight and provide answers to the controversial opinions that have recently been frequently campaigned by some liberal Muslim figures that the Qur'an recognizes the existence and truth of previous scriptures such as the Bible. They use several verses in the Qur'an, 5:44, 46-47 and 66, to justify the above opinions supported by partial interpretation experts under their understanding and purpose. In this study, the author used the library research method, which is research-based on library studies. The approach used is descriptive-analytical, which describes existing data sources, then analyzed and interpreted using available data sources. The opinion of liberal Islamic thinkers that it is enough for the Jews to use the Torah in carrying out religious law, and the Christians that they simply follow the rules in the Bible, this is because their methodology in understanding the verse is wrong. They did not explain at all the abuses committed by Jews and Christians. Including their defiance of Allah's command and about the guidance of the coming of the Prophet Muhammad with his perfect and universal sharia, which they are obliged to follow and obey, which is the information contained in their holy book. In understanding the verses of the Qur'an, they do not use methodological steps that can be accounted for in the discipline of interpretation. Contextual schools are emphasized for several texts that are alleged to be anti-religious pluralism. While on the other hand, literal schools are applied to verses that support the notion of religious pluralism.   Artikel ini berupaya untuk mengetengahkan dan memberikan jawaban atas pendapat kontroversial yang belakangan ini sering dikampanyekan oleh beberapa tokoh muslim liberal bahwa al-Qur’an mengakui eksistensi dan kebenaran kitab suci sebelumnya seperti Bibel. Mereka menggunakan beberapa ayat dalam QS. Al-Ma’idah [5]: 44, 46-47, dan ayat ke-66 untuk menjustifikasi pendapat di atas didukung dengan menukil pendapat dari para ahli tafsir secara parsial sesuai dengan paham dan tujuan mereka. Pada penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan metode library research, yakni penelitian yang didasarkan pada studi pustaka. Adapun pendekatan yang digunakan adalah deskriptif-analitis, yaitu mendeskripsikan sumber data yang ada, kemudian dianalisis dan diinterpretasikan dengan menggunakan sumber data yang tersedia. Pendapat para pemikir Islam liberal bahwa kaum Yahudi cukup berhukum dengan Taurat begitu pula kaum Nasrani, yang katanya cukup berhukum dengan Injil atau Bibel, dikarenakan mereka cacat secara metodologis dalam memahami ayat tersebut. Mereka sama sekali tidak menerangkan tentang penyelewengan yang dilakukan orang-orang Yahudi dan Nasrani. Termasuk tentang pembangkangan mereka terhadap perintah Allah dan tentang petunjuk akan datangnya Nabi Muhammad saw. dengan syariatnya yang sempurna dan universal yang wajib diikuti dan ditaati oleh mereka, yang mana informasi tersebut terdapat di dalam kitab mereka. Dalam memahami ayat-ayat al-Quran, mereka tidak menggunakan ukuran metodologis yang dapat dipertanggungjawabkan secara disiplin ilmu tafsir. Mazhab kontekstual ditekankan untuk sejumlah teks yang diduga anti kemajemukan beragama. Sementara di sisi lain, mazhab literal diterapkan untuk ayat-ayat yang mendukung paham pluralism agama.

The research reveals about the thought of Omid Safi about Progressive Muslims from naming, agenda, attendance reasons, to focus them on the realm of Islamic thought and relate it to trends in contemporary Islam. Progressive Muslim intended as an umbrella concept for people who want an open and safe space for running a rigorous and honest engagement with tradition, and hopefully will lead to further action. There are three major agenda (mission) of Progressive Muslims, the first social justice; both gender equality; The third received a plurality. The method adopted by Omid Safi in constructing the concept of Progressive Muslims are methods Multiple Critique. Progressive Muslims in an attempt to compare with trends in contemporary Islam is indeed a lot of help affirm the distinction in each trend. However, when we conducted an analysis of eight classification proposed by Abdullah Saeed on trends in contemporary Islam, seemingly progressive Muslims more fit in the category of groups ijtihadi Progressive, which modern thinkers on religion which seeks to reinterpret religious teachings in order to answer kebutuham modern society and Saeed himself quoting Omid Safi when defining trends of this last one.

Islam And Modernity

The three-day seminar on “Islam and Modernity” was held under thejoint auspices of the Goethe Institute (Karachi), the International Instituteof Islamic Thought (Islamabad), and the Islamic Research Institute (Islamabad).Thirty scholars from Pakistan and four scholars from Germanyparticipated as delegates, and an equal number of other scholars,journalists, and bureaucrats attended as observers. The seminar addressedfour themes: a) The State: Legitimation and Participation; (b) The Law:Law and Justice; (c) The Economy and Finance: Economy and Ethics;and (d) Society: Equality and Justice. The sesions were arranged to giveadequate time to the presenters and for follow-up discussion.In general, the seminar sought to create a better understanding andappreciation of the current self-assertion in the Muslim world and theways in which Muslims are dealing with modernity. There is a growingbelief among Muslims that it is possible to achieve developmental goals,as well as those of material and social welfare, within the framework ofIslam. This, it is believed, would save their societies from moral degradation,the breakdown of social and family structures, the dehumanizationof human life, and other negative features of western modernity.This resurgence often generates fear and apprehension in the West,a reaction that might be partially due to sporadic acts of violence by Muslimextremists. The West’s perception of Islamic resurgence is thuscolored, which undermines its ability to see it for what it really is. Despitethis, however, many people in the West feel the need for a betterunderstanding of the changes taking place in Muslim societies and forentering into a dialogue with their Muslim counterparts in order toexplore the possibility of promoting mutual respect and creating anatmosphere of meaningful and peaceful coexistence.In addition to the general divide between Islam and the West, thereis a secular vs. Islamist divide within Muslim societies. Some adhere tothe secular view of life and seek to confine religion to a private concern,while others want to restructure the individual and all elements of sociallife according to Islamic principles and values ...

Politica towards killing people in social conflicts. Theoretical-methodological lectureThere are two sides of life: its continuation to natural death and premature annihilation. These two processes occur in parallel, subjecting to nature and culture. This means that human life, regardless of natural condi­tions, depends in some respects on tradition and politica politics and policy. People primarily protect life, but at the same time kill people and prevent killing in order to meet a number of needs. Often the cause of killing is the clash of those aims and then the killing is used to settle conflicts. Politica has a contradictory role in killing people: on the one hand counteracts this phenomenon, and on the other hand favors. De­pending on the relationship between politica and killing, we differentiate killing politica, politica facilitating killing, anti-killing politica and non-killing politica.The nature and implications of politica involvement in killing of people in conflicts depend on the nature of the conflict. Another is the relation of politica to this phenomenon when the conflict is non-political and the other when it is political.Politica — from its advent to our modern times — is transformed into: apparently killing and encouraging killing, giving way to ever more visible counteracting killing and non-killing.

Agama memainkan peran penting dalam kehidupan manusia, sebagai  sesuatu yang memiliki fungsi pengatur kehidupan manusia, agama seharusnya membawa kepada perdamaian serta kasih sayang, namun dalam kenyataan seringkali agama berubah fungsi. Layaknya dua sisi mata uang. Agama yang awalnya menjadi sumber kedamaian dan kebahagiaan, seringkali berubah menjadi sumber ketegangan, teror yang menakutkan. Vandalisme dan tindakan kekerasan lainnya sering kali beratasnamakan agama. Otoritas keagamaan disalahgunakan dan itu terjadi berulang-ulang, dan akhirnya kesucian agama itu ternodai. Pemaknaan nilai agama sebagai sebuah entitas yang membawa perdamaian harus disadari kembali, sehingga agama dapat kembali ke fungsi awalnya sebagai pusat kedamaian.Religion plays an important role in human life, as something that has a regulatory function of human life, religion should lead to peace and love, but in reality often religious change function. Like the two sides of the coin. Religion is initially a source of peace and happiness, often turn out to be a source of tension, terror scary. Vandalism and other acts of violence often beratasnamakan religion. Religious authority abused and it happens over and over again, and finally the sanctity of religion was tainted. Meaning of religious values as an entity that brings peace have to realize again. Thus, religion can be returned to the original function as a center of peace.

The formal object is feminism literary criticism focused on reconstruction of gender and islamic thought in literature. This novel describes the opression of women by religious legitimation and the efforts of the heroines to release them selves from it and also their obsession for getting the ideality of islamic feminism on future . This research aims to describes the opression of women by patriarchal system and its ambivalency, and to describes the deconstruction  on it and gets the description of the ideality of future islamic feminism. The result of this analysis reveals : (1) the opression religiously of the heroines based on the theologic assumtion that the woman had created from the man, so she is the second creation; (2) there are so many ambivalency on that opression. The religion is the resourches of ethics and also the opression, the heroes  have opressed the heroines by love and hate in the same time, they are very obedient to God; (3) the heroines deconstruct that patriarchal system by showing that the woman stronger than man, the woman can become the subject not object; (4) the ideality of islamic feminisme on future is described as islamic sosialism. This idea have get from Zaynah figure that characterized by: developing androgyni character as tawhid value that feminity and masculinity are important, doing the revolution for changing to good human life, and loving the own culture and local wisdom (eastern).[Objek material penelitian ini adalah novel modern Mesir yang berjudul Zaynah karya Nawal as- Sa’dawi. Objek formal nya adalah kritik sastra feminis yang difokuskan pada rekonstruksi pemikiran gender dan Islam dalam sastra. Novel ini menggambarkan penindasan yang dialami para tokoh perempuan novel dengan dalih agama dan perjuangan mereka untuk membebaskan diri, juga obsesi mereka untuk mewujudkan feminisme Islam ideal masa depan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penindasan patriarkis tersebut dan ambivalensinya, dekonstruksi dan gambaran feminisme Islam ideal masa depan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa : (1) opresi perempuan berdalih agama didasarkan pada asumsi teologis bahwa perempuan berasal dari laki-laki dan diciptakan untuk laki-laki, sehingga perempuan adalah makhluk sekunder (derivatif); (2) terdapat banyak ambivalensi dalam penindasan tersebut. Agama dipakai sebagai sumber etika juga sumber penindasan, mereka menindas perempuan dengan suka sekaligus benci, mereka senang menindas tapi sangat patuh beragama; (3) para tokoh perempuan novel mendekonstruksi patriarkis tersebut dengan menunjukkan bahwa perempuan lebih kuat dari laki-laki, perempuan dapat menjadi subjek tidak objek; (4) idealisasi feminisme Islam masa depan digambarkan dalam pandangan sosialisme Islam. Ini tersimbolkan dalam figur Zaynah yang bercirikan: mengembangkan sifat androgini sebagai nilai tawhid bahwa feminitas dan maskulinitas sama-sama penting, melakukan revolusi untuk perubahan bagi kebaikan hidup manusia (tidak hanya bagi perempuan), dan mencintai budaya dan kearifan lokal sendiri (dunia Timur)]

Language as an object of linguistics studies has an important role in human life. Language and life is a phenomenon that can’t be released like two sides of a coin. Language is a symbol of sounds system arbitrarily used by humans to communicate between each other. As a system, the language has a systematic nature (berkaedah) and systemic (bersubsistem). One of the subsystems is phonology. Phonology as one field or level of study in linguistics were discussed related to everything about language sounds. The language sounds are categorized into two, namely phonetic and phonemic. Phonetics as a branch of phonology discusses relevant language sounds without affecting the meaning, while discussing about the sounds of language phonemes that affect meaning. This paper would like to study about the Arabic language phonology, in particular on phonemic. This study included within the scope of the al-Aswa> t, which is the science deals with the narrative of the language sounds, movement and acceptance. Before studying how to prepare the structure of a language and its meaning and so on, then it must first be familiar with the sounds of the language in it. Sounds of language that are must be known in advance for language learners (Arabic learners). Therefore, phonology becomes important to study in learning and language acquisition (foreign language). Thus, it becomes very important to understand the study of phonology or al-Aswa> t, in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding associated Arabic language sounds, which certainly every sound has its own meaning
