No person  shall  be compelled to  take  part   in  any   religious act,  celebration, rite, or any   other   religious' activity.    The Muslim  community  in  Japan may   have   a low profile but  is  steadily growing as Muslims strife to overcome any  difficulties they  face   to adapt to life  in the giant Asian country.

Islamic Society

Society means a group of people who are living together. People need society from birth to death. Without a collective life, man's deeds, intentions, and habits have no value. Islamic society is the name of a balanced and moderate life in which human intellect, customs, and social etiquette are determined in the light of divine revelation. This system is so comprehensive and all-encompassing that it covers all aspects and activities of life. Islam is a comprehensive, universal, complete code of conduct, and an ideal way of life It not only recognizes the collectiveness of human interaction. Rather, it helps in the development of the community and gives it natural principles that strengthen the community and provides good foundations for it and eliminates the factors that spoil it or make it limited and useless. The Principles of a successful social life in Islamic society seem to reflect the Islamic code of conduct and human nature. Islam is the only religion that advocates goodness and guarantees well-being. Islam gives us self-sacrifice, generosity, trust and honesty, service to the people, justice and fairness, forgiveness and kindness, good society and economy, good deeds, mutual unity, harmony, and brotherhood. Only by practicing the pure thoughts, beliefs, and unparalleled ideas of the religion of Islam, can a person live a prosperous life and he can feel real peace and lasting contentment in the moments of his life. A descriptive and analytical research methodology will be used in this study. It is concluded that for a prosperous social life it is necessary to abide by the injunction of Islamic principles, which provides a sound foundation for a successful social life here in the world and hereafter.

The key concept of our study is "religiosity". In scientific literature, it is most often correlated with an individual or a social group, a community and understands a set of certain attributes that are inherent to them and which find expression in faith and worship of supernatural both at the level of consciousness and at the level of behavior. The object of our study is the Ukrainian people (ethnos). It should be noted that religious studies in Soviet times did not take into account the fact that human existence is possible only in the conditions of a certain ethnic community, an individual is, above all, a certain ethnotype, and, moreover, it does not study the religious dimensions of the ethno-national being of that another people. Religion itself, if considered as a special, long-standing state of consciousness, as a certain system, which is a set of elements (ideas, representations) that interact with each other and with the environment, form a stable integrity, can be considered an integral part of ethno-national mentality. According to M.Kostomarov, folk religiosity is a special view that the people have in their religion and that it does not constitute any kind of whole religion, nor a certain sect. Today it is universally accepted that the national type of religiosity exists on the ordinary level of consciousness, is a complex syncretic entity. The history of its formation does not coincide with the history of the doctrine of a certain denomination. However, it is clear that the religiosity of Ukrainians, posing an integral part of the mentality and spirituality of the people, has a history of its formation. It is a consequence of the influence of a complex of factors that predetermined the way of life of the Ukrainian people in a certain natural geographic and cultural-historical space.

Japanese Religion, in general, refers to the multiplicity of religions in Japan. Different religious traditions coexist in Japan for centuries after centuries without breaking interreligious harmony among them. The present work especially focuses the Traditional Japanese Religions as major elements of culture that are basically a mixture of folk religions, early Shinto, Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism. Shinto has been the indigenous tradition for over two thousand years until it was synthesized with foreign elements. Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism have profoundly influenced the spiritual and socio-political life of the Japanese since 6th century AD. These religious traditions have long met, interacted and influenced each other and together formed the religious and cultural life of the Japanese people. Nonetheless, though the religious and intellectual life of the court was dominated by Buddhist and Confucian thought during the seventh and eighth centuries, Shinto remained the religion of the people and also became almost a part of the political machinery.Philosophy and Progress, Vol#55-56; No#1-2; Jan-Dec 2014

Culture And Language

The study of the national language is largely dependent on the study of the history of the people who speak the language. The people are the creators of their own culture and language as well as the creators of their own history. We study the history and culture of the people by learning the language. It is directly related to the study of the linguistic features of the dialects that exist in the language. As is known, everything that occurs in social life is reflected first and foremost in the vocabulary of the language. But over time, some words become consumed and gradually forgotten. Such words are mainly related to the material way of life of the people, but are also a rich source of information about the ethnos' history. This article discusses such words that are preserved in Uzbek dialects of Navoi region.

The Web

One of the challenges of ethnography is that it requires one to enter into a community and become enmeshed in the web of affinities, opinions, gossip, rhetoric, and beliefs that characterize this group. Then, at the end of fieldwork, one must step outside the others’ world and interpret it for (other) others and oneself. This analytical stage, however, compels one to condense one’s experiences and, indeed, one’s newly acquired friends, to make them more manageable, less indeterminate elements of an academic study. This challenge constitutes both ethnography’s strength and its weakness. Moreover, such a challenge is what makes ethnography a social science: that the vast array of fieldwork experiences must be distilled and communicated in a nonidiosyncratic manner. Unfortunately, the very analytical processes by which the ethnographer’s personal experiences are rendered communicable often flatten out the most interesting parts of the “other.” Ethnographer David Mandelbaum describes this dilemma with poignant clarity: . . . When an anthropologist goes to live among the people he studies, he is likely to make some good friends among them. As he writes his account of their way of life, he may feel uncomfortably aware that his description and analysis omitted something of great importance. His clear friends have been dissolved into faceless norms; their vivid adventures have somehow been turned into pattern profiles or statistical types. (1973:178) . . . Such diminishing of the unique features of specific individuals is rarely the intention of the ethnographer; rather, this effacement is a natural by-product of analyses in which one attempts to make, as I do, for example, broader claims about the place and coping strategies of traditionally religious individuals in a secular culture. Even when the means of making such assertions is a “thick” description (Geertz 1973) of a religious group, it is inevitable that individual differences are sometimes effaced by broader conceptual reflections. Throughout the following chapters, I refer to and often quote many IVCF members at length. The ideal way to render these students’ comments comprehensible would be for me to provide a life history of each speaker before quoting him or her.

This article focuses on the history of the existence of the maqasid al-shariah from the era of the Prophet Muhammad S.A. W to the contemporary world. The understanding of the maqasid al-shariah is an important prerequisite for a person to affirm and give the people understanding of the taqlid. This article also looks at how this concept was implemented by the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W especially in interpreting the quranic verse involving legal texts either qat'i or dhoni in new issues that are not qat'i due to the passage of time and current developments. Therefore, this paper concentrates on qualitative research by emphasizing the focus of this study on the approach of the concept of al-shariah in the daily life of the Muslim community in Malaysia in terms of its practice and its approach in contemporary jurisprudence. The results of this paper provide a clear and concise understanding of maqasid al-shariah's interpretations of historical context, applications from the era of the Prophet Muhammad to contemporary times on the need for Islamic jurisprudence to be revitalized in dealing with the issues of taqlid that baset the Muslims.

This paper introduces Memorial Tombs in the context of memorial compound tomb types for the aristocrat of the Nguyen Dynasty (1802- 1945) in Southern Vietnam in The Medieval and Post-Medieval Time. This type was of rare tangible and intangible cultural heritage at the time (1.5%). These heritage assets are very valuable because they are associated with historical figures – “state founders, meritorious officials” in country expansion time “The Great South Unification (Dai Nam Nhat thong)”. In addition to the typical complex of mausoleums in Southern Vietnam (Nguyen Huu Canh, 1650-1700; Le Van Duyet, 1763-1832; Le Van Phong, Truong Tan Buu, 1752-1827 or Tran Van Hoc, Phan Tan Huynh, Huynh Van Tu, and "Sir Nhieu Loc"), the authors studied Vo Tanh mausoleum at both Hoang De (emperor) and Gia Dinh (emperor) citadels, and the mausoleum of his warmates related to the last and biggest-scaled sea fight between the Nguyen dynasty’s army and the Tay Son insurgent army on Thi Nai lagoon in 1801 (Vo Di Nguy, 1745-1801; Ngo Tung Chau; Thu Ngoc Hau, etc.). In our opinion, the presence of memorial tomb types of Vo Tanh and his warmates – historic-cultural-artistic heritage sites of national/provincial levels in Southern Vietnam relating the honoring of heroes who “wholeheartedly served the King, defended the country, saved the people” in the history of country expansion “Towards the South” in medieval and post-medieval times. They contribute to the moulding of prominent features of the comtemporary Southerners’ personality. Those historical stories of the Southern heroes are preserved and worshipped by their descendants bearing in mind the Vietnamese way of life “praising the bridge carrying one over” and pay homage to ancestors for their nation-building service.

AbstractBackgroundThe study of human-nature relationship has made possible to understand the life dynamics of the communities and the biodiversity with which cohabits. Although ethnobiological studies have been rise over the last decade, little is known about human interaction with herpetofauna in South America and in Colombia. In this work, we analyzed the knowledge, perception, and interaction of a local community located in the forest reserve of Quininí (RFPCQ) in Cundinamarca (Colombia), with respect to the herpetofauna that inhabits the area.MethodsWe performed semi-structured surveys containing 30 questions categorized into three groups: academic knowledge (1), use and cultural beliefs (2) and interaction and perception (3) related to the herpetofauna that occurs in the region. For the obtained data in question groups 1 and 2, an analysis and classification of the answers in percentages were made. For the question group 3, we assigned the answers with a hostility value according to the possible reaction of each individual interviewed in a hypothetical encounter with the herpetofauna, and performed a Multivariate Ordinal Logistic Regression test (MOLR), in order to know if the positive or negative reactions could be predicted by demographic variables.ResultsThe community recognized the presence of amphibians and reptiles that cohabit their space, as well as their potential habitats. In addition, the role of herpetofauna was recognized in the magical/religious traditions for some inhabitants of the region, mainly associated with the fate and cure of chronic diseases. In general, the perception of amphibians and reptiles varied according to the origin and gender of the people, tend to have a more positive perception about reptiles than amphibians in most cases.ConclusionsAlthough there was a general lack of knowledge on the part of the inhabitants of the RFPCQ about the biological and ecological aspects of herpetofauna, the population recognized the basic information about the habitats of these animals within the area of the reserve. There is a wide variety of uses of amphibians and reptiles in traditional medicine. Greater efforts should be made in the transmission and dissemination of knowledge about the ecological functions of herpetofauna.
