The Ideal

Imam Al-Ghazali (1058-111M) was a great Muslim scholar, thinker, scientist and prolific writer has written a lot of thoughts and ideas in various fields of science, including in the field of Islamic law. In light of the scientific credibility of Imam Al-Ghazali in the Muslim world, this article seeks to discuss the concept of the ideal leader in Islamic law according to Imam Al-Ghazali as he offered in his various works: Al-Iqtiṣād fī al-I'tiqād, At-Tibr al-Masbūk fi Nashīhat al-Mulūk, Iḥyā 'Ulumi ad-Dīn, and Fadh'iḥ al-Bātiniyyah wa Fadhā'il al-Mustaẓhiriyyah. While al-Ghazali seemed to offer a different set of criteria across these works, the essential criteria of the ideal leader in his view include: (1) having knowledge and competence, (2) having good religion and morals, (3) physically and mentally healthy, (4) trustworthy (amanah), (5) fair, (6) willing to listen to advice from scholars, and (7) live simply and close to the people.

Learning the Quran is regarded as an essential activity in Muslim world in order to educate their young generations. However, in Aceh Besar district, many children and teenagers are not accustomed to reciting the Quran after the sunset prayer, but instead wandering around the street. Therefore, in 2012, the local government initiated a program of Beut al-Quran Ba’da Magrib in all villages in Aceh Besar district. This study attempted to figure out the effectiveness of the implementation of the program, strategy used, and impacts on the people in Aceh Besar. Held in Aceh Besar district, the study used cluster-based purposive sampling in Banda Safa, Lamcot, and Meunasah Karieng Lamlhom villages. The research participants were the Head of Islamic Law Office of Aceh Besar, teungku (Islamic teachers) of the program, santri (students) of the program, and community figures. In addition, the researcher had also collected some important documents reagrading this program. The data were collected by interview, observation, and documentation. The data were also triangulated. The findings indicated that the implementation of Beut al-Quran Ba’da Magrib program was not effective as expected. The strategy used was requiring school aged children to take part in the program. The impacts, however, were very good as the program has induced positive spirit of the young learners, as well as of the community and local environment. The positive impacts have encouraged other villages to implement similar programs. Nevertheless, there were still some obstacles that need to attention during the implementation of the program.

This study deals with Universal Values and Muslim Democracy. This essay draws upon speeches that he gave at the New York Democ- racy Forum in December 2005 and the Assembly of the World Movement for Democracy in Istanbul in April 2006. The emergence of Muslim democracies is something significant and worthy of our attention. Yet with the clear exceptions of Indonesia and Turkey, the Muslim world today is a place where autocracies and dictatorships of various shades and degrees continue their parasitic hold on the people, gnawing away at their newfound freedoms. It concludes that the human desire to be free and to lead a dignified life is universal. So is the abhorrence of despotism and oppression. These are passions that motivate not only Muslims but people from all civilizations.

The Ideal

The relationship between Islam and state raises a controversy that includes two main groups;formalists and substantialists. Both of them intend to achieve a good social condition which is inaccordance with Islamic politics. The ideal form of good society to be achieved is principallydescribed in the main source of Islamic law, Al Qur’an and As Sunnah, as follows. A form of goodsociety should supprot equality and justice, egalitarianism, and democracy in its social community.The next problem is what the needed methods and instruments to achieve the ideal Islamic politicsare. In this case, the debate on the formalization and substance of Islamic teaching is related to therunning formal political institution.Each group claims itself to be the most representative to the ideal Islam that often leads to anescalating conflict. On the other hand thr arguments of both groups does not reach the wholeMuslims. As a result, the discourse of Islam and state seems to be elitist and political. As a result,Both groups suspect each other each other and try to utilize the controversy on the relationshipbetween Islam and state to get their own benefit which has no relation with the actualization ofIslamic teaching.

Fines are sanctions or punishments that are applied in the form of the obligation to pay a sum of money imposed on the denial of a number of agreements previously agreed upon. There is debate over the status of fines in Islamic law. Some argue that fines may not be used, and some argue that they may be used. In the context of fines for delays in payment of taxes, in fiqh law it can be analogous to ta'zir bi al-tamlīk (punishment for ownership). This can be justified if the tax obligations have met the requirements. Whereas according to Islamic teachings, fines can be categorized as acts in order to obey government orders as taught in the hadith, and in order to contribute to the realization of mutual benefit in the life of the state. As for the amount of the fine, the government cannot arbitrarily determine fines that are too large to burden the people. Penalties are applied as a message of reprimand and as a means to cover the lack of the state budget.

The king in the Hindu-Buddhist era had such a big role for his people. The ideal king is needed by the people so that the country becomes prosperous. The concept of an ideal king has been known for a long time in the archipelago, even since before Hindu-Buddhist culture developed. In Java and Bali the ideal king is described in the Astabrata Concept. The concept of an ideal king in Srivijaya has never been discussed by researchers, even though Srivijaya was one of the ruling kingdoms in Indonesia during the early Hindu-Buddhist era. This study discusses about concept of the ideal king that developed in Srivijaya based on written data in the form of inscriptions scattered in several conquered Srivijaya areas. The concept of the ideal king of Srivijaya needs to be known to reconstruct how much acceptance of Hindu-Buddhist culture in Indonesia, especially during the Srivijaya era. In answering these problems, research was conducted with archeological methods, which consisted of data collection, analysis and interpretation. Based on this research, it can be seen that the concept of the ideal king of Srivijaya was much influenced by Buddhism, especially the Vajrayana school. The king in Srivijaya depicted as an excellent person, born as a man, diplomat and wealthy.

Abstract This paper examines moral virtues and cult practice in Plato’s Laws. It explores the symposium and the chorus and their potential to provide a recognisable cultural setting, in which the Magnesian citizens can test their responses to pleasurable and painful experiences and thus train their moral virtues. The challenge to this reading is to explain what additional input to moral habituation is provided by the religious aspect of these institutions. This paper draws attention to the relationship between the people and the patron gods of the respective institutions. It argues that the cult practices are designed to reflect the virtuous character of the traditional gods, who serve as the ethical role models for the worshipers. In this way, the worship of the traditional gods not only facilitates moral progress by exemplifying the objective of virtuous life, but also gives an egalitarian version of the ideal of godlikeness to its citizens.
