Basic Meaning

<p>The Qur’an often calls the word <em>jinn</em> coupled with the word <em>al-ins</em> as God’s creatures in different forms. Based on that, the author tried to unravel the problem by studying basically the words <em>jinn</em> and <em>al-ins</em> in the Qur’an and then linking both of them in Toshihiko Izutsu’s semantic theory. The study begins by searching for the basic meaning and relational meaning as the foundation for finding <em>welthansauung</em> or worldview of the word <em>jinn</em> and <em>al-ins</em> in the Qur'an. The study found that the word jinn in the Qur'an has a closed meaning, similar to the root of <em>majnūn</em>, <em>jannah</em>, and <em>janīn</em>. Likewise, the relational meaning of the <em>jinn</em> described in the Qur'an both relating to the ancients before the coming of Islam, the <em>jinns</em> are <em>shaitan</em>, <em>ifrit</em>, angels, superhuman beings, worshiped beings, demons, and the maker of misfortune someone. As for the basic meaning of the word <em>al-ins</em>, the same as <em>insān, basyar</em>, the sons of adam, ‘abd Allah, even <em>al-ins</em> as the representative word of man in the Qur'an can be interpreted shaitan as in surah <em>al-nās</em> which states that shaitan derived from the genie and the human race. The discussion of the ontological and communicative relations between <em>jinn</em> and <em>al-ins</em> in the Qur’an, it is mentioned that jinn and humans are truly God’s creatures created from different elements. These two creatures can establish communication because there is an explanation in the Qur’an, as it did in the time of Adam, Sulayman and Prophet Muhammad saw.</p><p>Al-Qur’an kerap menyebut kata <em>jinn</em> bersanding dengan kata <em>al-ins </em>sebagai makhluk Allah yang berbeda wujud. Berangkat dari itu, peneliti mencoba mengurai permasalahannya dengan cara mengkaji secara dasar kata <em>jinn</em> dan <em>al-ins</em> dalam al-Qur’an dan kemudian mengkaitkan keduannya menggunakan teori semantik Toshihiko Izutsu. Kajian dimulai dengan mencari makna dasar dan makna relasional sebagai dasar menemukan <em>welthansauung</em> atau pandangan dunia terhadap kata <em>jinn</em> dan <em>al-ins</em> dalam al-Qur’an. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa kata <em>jinn</em> dalam al-Qur’an mempunyai makna tertutup, sama dengan akar kata dari <em>majnūn</em>, <em>jannah</em> maupun <em>janīn</em>. Begitu juga tentang makna relasional terhadap jin yang dijelaskan dalam al-Qur’an baik yang berkaitan dengan orang-orang dahulu sebelum datangnya Islam, jin adalah syaitan, ifrit, malaikat, makhluk yang mempunyai kekuatan super, makhluk yang disembah, iblis, dan pembuat kesialan seseorang. Adapun makna dasar kata <em>al-ins, </em>sama seperi <em>insān</em>, <em>basyar</em>, <em>bani adam</em>, ‘<em>abd Allah</em>, bahkan <em>al-ins </em>sebagai kata yang mewakili manusia dalam al-Qur’an bisa diartikan syaitan seperti dalam suran al-nās yang menyatakan bahwa syaitan itu berasal dari golongan jin dan manusia. Pembahasaan tentang relasi ontologis dan komunikatif antara <em>jinn</em> dan <em>al-ins </em>dalam al-Qur’an, disebutkan bahwa jin dan manusia adalah benar-benar makhluk Allah yang diciptakan dari unsur yang berbeda. Kedua makhluk ini bisa menjalin komunikasi karena ada penjelasan dalam-al-Qur’an, seperti halnya yang terjadi pada zaman Nabi Adam, Nabi Sulaiman sampai Nabi Muhammad saw.</p>

However, the word s{aduqa>t. which indicates the meaning of dowry in general without any designation of time must exclude it. In addition, it is also accompanied by the word nihlah which indicates the status and purpose or function of the bride price. So this word was chosen to be studied. The word will be approached by the semantic theory of Toshihiko Izutsu. There are two meanings that are explored namely the basic meaning and relational meaning.

A long-awaited Muslim source and a nonorientalist handy reference book,this glossary (a more appropriate title for this dictionary) of the Qur'an fillsa major vacuum. To date, we had to rely solely on Penrice’s Dictionary andGlossary of the Qur'an. This process of generating sources (indexes,bibliographies, handbooks, dictionaries, glossaries, and the like) - a soleprerogative of the Western world-has recently been taken up by Muslims.A healthy trend in this regard is visible in the source under review.Though this book has covered mainly Qur’anic terms and concepts, ithas admittedly entered into the field of non-Qur’anic terms. This extensionof scope makes it more useful to the community of scholars and studentsof the Qur’an. As the author rightly mentions in his introduction: “In a fewcases, the Arabic terms used are the ones that have become traditionallyaccepted, even though they do not occur in the Qur’an (i.e., wudu') or occurin it in a different sense (i.e. qadhf); these include, in one or two cases,words which for some technical reason are to be regarded as ‘extra-Qur‘anic’even when words from the same root and with the same basic meaning occurin the Qur’an-i.e., bay'ah, though mubaya'ah (in perfect and imperfect forms,that is) occurs in the Qur'an” (pp. xiii-xiv).Mir has used the generally accepted meanings and notions in his scholarlywork. His explanations and notes are interesting and meaningful. For instance,explaining the term “Median Community” or “Ummah Wasat,” he goes onto say that the title of ”Median Community” is not only a prerogative, butalso carries with it a responsibility-the responsibility to stay on the medianpath and guide others to it (p. 132). Similarly, under the term “Repentance”we find “Adam, after he had sinned, repented and was forgiven by God (237).Thus, he was sent upon earth not to receive punishment for his disobedience,but in accordance with an already existing plan. Since Adam was forgiven,no original sin attaches to the human race” (p. 180). Similarly, we find atanother place: “Din has four meanings: 1. Submission . . . 2. A system ofbeliefs . . . 3. Law . . . and 4. Recompense . . .” (p. 49) ...

Ecological Catastrophe

The article takes its cue from Olivier Rey's recent book Une question de taille (a question of size) and develops the idea of humanity ‘losing its measure, or scale’ in the context of contemporary ecological catastrophe. It seems true that the current level of global threats, from climate change to asteroids, has produced a culture of ambient ‘species angst’ living in more or less constant fear about the survival of the ‘human race’, biodiversity, the planet, the solar system. This indeed means that the idea of a cosmos and a cosmology may no longer be an adequate ‘measurement’ for scaling the so far inconceivable, namely a thoroughly postanthropocentric world picture. The question of scale is thus shown to be connected to the necessity of developing a new sense of proportion, an eco-logic that would do justice to both, things human and nonhuman. Through a reading of the recent science fiction film Interstellar, this article aims to illustrate the dilemma and the resulting stalemate between two contemporary ‘alternatives’ that inform the film: does humanity's future lie in self-abandoning or in self-surpassing, in investing in conservation or in exoplanets? The article puts forward a critique of both of these ‘ecologics’ and instead shows how they depend on a dubious attempt by humans to ‘argue themselves out of the picture’, while leaving their anthropocentric premises more or less intact.

Elevated Body Temperature

Various types of conditions exist in the body that causes fever and pain. Drugs that are used to treat fever are called antipyretics, and those are usually prescribed to treat elevated body temperature. But those drugs result in many other side effects like ulcers, perforations, bleedings and obstructions, which make their use questionable and limiting. Medicinal plants are used in the treatment of diseases from the starting of the human race and the process; they had been subjected to rigorous investigations and tests to establish a scientific proof and validation of the various pharmacological activities and their respective mechanisms of action in treating the herbs. Considering the anti-inflammatory properties of the plant, Xylocarpus mekongesis was investigated for its antipyretic activity in yeast method and 3doses out of which 00mg/kg body weight showed a better activity compared to the standard drug and other extracts too. The mechanism of action was similar to the paracetamol action that is inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis.

Effective Drugs

Fevers are considered as the most important parameters to evaluate and diagnose most of the disease conditions like inflammations, wounds and other infections. There are effective drugs that treat and control the fevers out of which NSAID's are most important ones. They cause notable side effects like gastric ulcers, gastric mucosal perforations etc. which make the use of those drugs limited. Herbs are used to treat various diseases, starting from the evolution of the human race. During this, herbs had been introduced to many types of tests and scientific investigations to prove the activities that herbs possess. The diseases that the herbs are used for are notable in the medical systems like Ayurveda and other systems. The need for the validation of the activities of the herbs and medicinal plants is utmost important these days. The extracts of the plant leaves of Desmodium gangeticum were extracted with ethanol and then investigated for the antipyretic activity in yeast induced pyretic method. The extract was tested in two doses 200 and 400mg/kg. This was found significant when compared to the standard drug.

Abstract Since the number of intricate problems with regard to peace and security faced by mankind on our sphere has been greater than what they can bear, the survival of human race on earth becomes a significant priority to be contemplated. Despite hard work and continued effort rendered by many experts, they face more serious issues and their resolutions are far from reality. It is because, in the author’s mind, rights and responsibilities are not properly observed. Particularly, in the area of religion people have lack of respecting the right of others and most of the times they are irresponsible. Every individual has their own choices according to their culture and belief which may not be acceptable to others. If every individual allows others to enjoy at their own choice while observing his own belief and tradition, we all can live in this world peacefully. This concept of living together with individual choice while respecting other’s choice may be called the concept of “agree to disagree” according to the author’s work. This ideology, which is yet to be well observed in our society, can surely replace violence with peaceful co-existence in the multi-religious and multi-cultural societies.   Keywords: Agree to Disagree, Mankind, Religious Dispute, Multi-Cultural Societies, peaceful Co-Existence. Abstrak Sejak masalah berkaitan dengan keharmonian dan keselamatan yang dialami manusia melebihi yang boleh ditanggung, kehidupan manusia di dunia ini menjadi satu keutamaan  yang perlu dipertimbangkan. Walaupun banyak usaha dan langkah diambil oleh pihak pakar, mereka mengalami masalah lain yang lebih serius dan resolusi mereka adalah jauh dari matlamat. Ini kerana, dalam minda pengarang, hak dan tanggungjawab tidak diperhatikan dengan betul. Terutamanya dalam hal agama, orang kekurangan kehormatan terhadap hak orang lain dan kebanyakkannya adalah tidak bertanggungjawab. Setiap individu mempunyai kepercayaan dan hak masing-masing yang tidak boleh diterima oleh yang lain. Jika setiap individu membenarkan yang lain untuk mempunyai kepercayaan dan hak masing-masing, manusia semua boleh hidup dengan aman. Konsep ini boleh dipanggil sebagai konsep “setuju untuk tidak bersetuju” menurut kajian pengarang. Ideologi ini, yang masih belum diperhatikan dengan sepenuhnya dalam masyarakat kita, pasti boleh menggantikan keganasan dengan kehidupan aman bersama dalam masyarakat berbilang kaum dan budaya. Kata Kunci: Setuju untuk Tidak Bersetuju, Manusia, Pertikaian Agama, Masyarakat Berbilang Agama, Kehidupan Aman Bersama.
