The Style of Islamic understanding has a correlation with the progress and welfare of its people. Methodological error to interpret Islam will be trapped in the stagnation of thought and decline of the people. Therefore, one of the efforts of the reformers of Islam was to reconstruct the methodology as an important tool in understanding Islam to be able to provide a solution to the problems of humanity and sovereignty. This research attempts to reveal how the approach used by Muhammad al-Ghazāli in understanding Islam, the background of his Islamic Thought and its advantages and disadvantages. Based on the result of the study, al-Ghazāli’s thought was influenced by educational background at Al-Azhar and social-political conditions in Egypt. One of the efforts made by al-Ghazāli was to call for a total return to the Islamic manhaj (way)  completely as the only way to overcome the religious and social problems of Muslims.This concept  methodologically is an effort to understand Islamic values ​​through the approach of the Qur'an and Sunnah which is interpreted through the spirit of rationality in the frame of moderation. Based on this approach Islam is not only understood as a doctrine but also a solutions to humanitarian and muslim problems.

<em>In today’s context, Islamic values seem to be allied from Moslem’s life, but the symbol of formal Islam looks always presented in many representations, as well as the people of politic and economic’ world are always using Islamic symbols to direct public opinion. The reason is probably due to religious symbol becomes one of the most effective determinants in this regard. These actual facts are contradicted with the idea of Islam formulated by Gus Dur. He has proposed the idea of Islamic Spirit. That’s why? I would like to propose two questions: what is the contextual meaning of Gus Dur's thoughts about Islamic Spirit, and what if the idea is juxtaposed to the emergence of extreme Islamic thought. For this sake, I use critical-analysis method. The result has shown that the context of Gus Dur’s thought was the emergence of the idea of formalizing Islamic Sharia into the constitutions of the state, Indonesia, after the fall of Soeharto’s new order. Then, Gus Dur tried to countering these new ideologies of Islamic formalization. Islam, based on Gus Dur perspective, is encouraging people to be performing any good deed. To be a good Muslim, someone has no need to do good deed in the name of Islam, but he could be enough having a humanism visions. Therefore, there is no need to formalizing Islam</em>

Democracy is a word that is very popular among the people, almost all levels of society know and understand the meaning of democracy well. Democracy is part of a political system and government which, according to Abraham Lincoln, is defined as government by the people, to the people and for the people. Democracy is one concept that comes from the West. Democracy was only included in the treasury of Islamic thought in the mid-19th century because it was considered to have good values ​​for life and not conflict with Islamic values. Therefore, they tried to find the equivalent of the word democracy in Islamic teachings, then the term shura was found. In the discourse and studies on the relationship between Islam and democracy, there are three opinions expressed by Islamic thinkers and figures about the relationship between Islam and democracy. First, there is no separation between Islam and democracy. Democracy is inherent or an integral part of Islam. Second, between Islam and democracy have conflicting relations. Third, in the relationship between Islam and democracy the third group does not accept it fully and does not reject it completely. This polemic of thought is then analyzed and studied further in accordance with the cultural context of Indonesian society.

Traditional ritual is a kind of expression of art and culture as well as a form of human appreciation of nature, gained through long term and perpetual processes. Traditional ritual thus can thus be regarded as traditional wisdom. Kawin Cai is one of the traditional rituals in Kuningan society derived from inter religious views.

Henrike Genzel & Anja Franz: Decision Making for a Long Term International Voluntary Service – Which Role Do Social and Educational Background Play?): The article attempts to reveal differences in the decision process for a long term international voluntary service. Those differences are analyzed with regards to the social, as well as the educational background, of the people making the decisions. The findings are discussed in view of rational choice theories based on Boudon (1974). Guided interviews with future or former “traditional” and “non-traditional” volunteers from the organization “Aktion Sühnezeichen e.V.” are used as data basis. The results show that the motivation, as well as the decision process, are influenced by the individual access to voluntary services. “Non-traditional” volunteers often structure their decisions based on occasions whereas the “traditional” volunteer’s decision are mostly shaped by rational arguments. Financial costs and an inflexible flow of information are identified as structural barriers.

This chapter analyzes the three key dimensions for characterizing the allocation of regulatory authority. The most frequently analyzed dimension, centralization/decentralization, focuses on the scale(s) or level(s) of government-granted jurisdiction. The overlapping/distinct dimension considers the degree of overlap in governmental authority among multiple government bodies with concurrent jurisdictions. Two governmental entities have overlapping jurisdictions only to the extent that both their substantive and functional authority is concurrent. Finally, the coordinated/independent dimension, which uniquely focuses on the interaction between agencies, considers the extent to which authority is exercised independently or in coordination with other governmental entities. Coordination can vary in its degree of hierarchy and in its discretion, duration, frequency, and formality. Each dimension measures a particular component of regulatory authority, with each dimensional pole representing mostly different sets of policies and ultimately values tradeoffs over the appropriate design for managing social problems. The chapter thus explores the potential advantages and disadvantages of situating or shifting agency authority at each end of the spectrum represented by each dimension.
