Cosmogony in the Perspective of  the Prophet of Muhammad’s Utterances

The study reports on a version of the cosmogonic information amidst the various chronicle stories of the world's great tribes. The Prophet Muhammad's version of cosmogony has dimensions of transcendentalism. The version also contains the actual value of the Islamic faith, rather than just a myth. The study uses qualitative with library research, and the data were sourced from nine standard hadith books, at digital ‘Lidwa Pustaka-I’ Software ‘Kitab 9 Imam Hadith’ (2009). The study applied thematic and chronological methods to describe how the universe has begun, created a shape until the end of its existence. Allah has created the universe from ‘nothing’ into ‘existence’. Based on His mercy, pre-designed was pitch black at the beginning of the world’s creation. Light arose simultaneously with the process of the occurring part of the universe. The findings reveal that the entire contents of the universe designated as facilities for life where the earth is helpful for human life. At one point, nature will shrink because Allah grasps it, the layout of every celestial body changes completely, and its aftermath is unknown to humans. Abstrak: Kajian ini melaporkan informasi pada sebuah versi kosmogonik di tengah berbagai kisah kronik suku-suku besar dunia. Kosmogoni versi Nabi Muhammad SAW memiliki dimensi transendentalisme. Versi tersebut juga memuat nilai aktual dari akidah Islam, bukan sekedar mitos. Penelitian ini menggunakan kualitatif dengan studi kepustakaan, dan data bersumber dari sembilan kitab hadis standar, pada software digital 'Lidwa Pustaka-I' 'Kitab 9 Imam Hadith' (2009). Kajian ini menerapkan metode tematik dan kronologis untuk menggambarkan bagaimana alam semesta dimulai, diciptakan dan dibentuk hingga akhir keberadaannya. Allah telah menciptakan alam semesta dari 'tidak ada' menjadi 'ada'. Berdasarkan rahmat-Nya, pra-desain dalam keadaan gelap gulita pada awal penciptaan dunia. Cahaya muncul bersamaan dengan proses terjadinya alam semesta.

Human life is geared to the rhythm of day and night. The day is committed to work and activity, and the night to rest, to leisure, but also to contemplation on the universe. Stars are the link between the earth-bound human existence and the eternal and infinite cosmos. So, humanity needs the night, requires the darkness – even if darkness is frightening and is considered as the personification of danger and evil.

Understanding the eschatology of each group or ecclesiastical school is quite diverse because this subject is indeed a difficult thing. This paper, Pengaruh Kosmologi Bumi Datar dalam Eskatologi Alkitab (The Influence of Flat Earth Cosmology in Bible Eschatology), aims to re-explore biblical texts relating to eschatology or the end of time. Of all the biblical texts available, it is found that the end times do not talk about the destruction of the earth and/or the universe and replace it with something completely or absolutely new, but only include natural disasters without destroying the absolute earth and/or the universe, so it is the renewal of the earth/universe that exists, now, inhabited by humans. This paper is the result of library research using the historical-critical hermeneutic method of the biblical texts used, including the two-source theory for the synoptic gospels. What is intended in this paper is that many eschatological texts or the texts discuss about the end times in the Bible, both Old Testament as also the New Testament, are strongly influenced by the understanding of flat-earth cosmology, so that reading of these biblical texts should not be carried out using the understanding of modern round-earth cosmology round. AbstrakPemahaman eskatologi masing-masing kelompok atau aliran gerejawi cukup beragam karena memang pokok ini adalah hal yang sulit. Makalah ini, Pengaruh Kosmo-logi Bumi Datar dalam Eskatologi Alkitab, bertujuan untuk menggali ulang teks-teks biblis yang berkaitan dengan eskatologi atau akhir zaman. Dari semua teks biblis yang ada, maka ditemukan bahwa akhir zaman tidak berbicara mengenai penghancuran bumi dan/atau alam semesta dan menggantikannya dengan sesuatu yang sepenuhnya atau mutlak baru, melainkan hanya menyertakan bencana-bencana alam tanpa menghancur-kan mutlak bumi dan/atau alam semesta, sehingga itu merupakan pembaruan bu-mi/alam semesta yang ada, yang sekarang, yang didiami manusia. Makalah ini merupa-kan hasil penelitian kepustakaan dengan menggunakan metode hermeneutik historis-kritis atas teks-teks biblis yang digunakan, termasuk teori dua sumber bagi Injil-injil sinoptik. Yang hendak dibuktikan dalam makalah ini adalah terdapat banyak teks eskato-logis atau tentang akhir zaman dalam Alkitab baik Perjanjian Lama maupun Perjanjian Baru yang sangat dipengaruhi oleh pemahaman kosmologi bumi datar (flat-earth cosmology), sehingga pembacaan teks-teks biblis tersebut tidak boleh dilakukan dengan menggunakan pemahaman kosmologi bumi bulat (round-earth cosmology).

The Universe

Everything in the universe has color. Color has a natural connection with human life. From birth to death, human life is visible only between colors. Every composition of nature, whether it is the sun, the earth, the sky or the tree has some color. It is visible to us only because of the color of the objects in the ground. The medium for experiencing color is light, which is reflected from the object and reaches our axon. Therefore, due to change of light or due to less or more amount of light, objects of the same color appear differently. The colors are seen in bright light and do not appear in dim light. In the light of red color, even white objects look red and green color looks black. That is, the color change is visible even if there is no change in the color arrangement due to the amount of light and the variation of the atmosphere at different places. The experience or color perception of colors is an important aspect of our visual experience. It is through light rays that we see the color of the object. The light that falls on an object dissolves into it, and something is reflected and reaches our axis. In the side of the axilla, there are microscopic fibrils called rhodes and canes, through which the color of the object is experienced by waves reflected from the object. The sensation of black and white colors is felt by Rhodes and the colors of yellow, blue, red green etc. are felt by canes. The red and green colors are visible by one set of cans and yellow, blue by another set. That is why the eyes do not get tired quickly when looking at green and red together or yellow and blue together. सृष्टि की प्रत्येक वस्तु में रंग है। मानव जीवन से रंग का नैसर्गिक सम्बन्ध है। जन्म से लेकर मृत्यु तक मानव जीवन रंगों के मध्य ही दृष्टिगोचर होता है। प्रकृति की प्रत्येक रचना चाहे वह सूर्य हो धरणी हो, आकाश हो या वृक्ष हो कोई न कोई रंग लिये हुये हैं। वस्तुओं के धरातल में रंग होने के कारण ही वह हमें दिखाई देती है। रंग के अनुभव का माध्यम प्रकाश है, जो वस्तु से प्रतिबिम्बित होकर हमारे अक्षपटल तक पहुॅंचता है। अतः प्रकाश के परिवर्तित होने से अथवा प्रकाश की मात्रा कम या अधिक होने से एक ही रंग की वस्तुएॅं अलग-अलग दिखाई पड़ती हैं। तेज प्रकाश में जैसी रंगते दिखाई पड़ती हैं धुंधले प्रकाश में वैसी नहीं दिखाई पड़ती। लाल रंग के प्रकाश में सफेद वस्तुएॅं भी लाल दिखती हैं तथा हरा रंग काला दिखता है। अर्थात् विभिन्न स्थानों पर प्रकाश की मात्रा तथा वातावरण की भिन्नता के कारण रंग व्यस्था में परिवर्तन नह ोने पर भी रंग परिवर्तन दिखाई पड़ता है।रंगों का अनुभव या वर्ण बोध हमारे दृश्यात्मक अनुभव का महत्वपूर्ण पक्ष है। प्रकाश किरणों के द्वारा ही हम वस्तु के रंग को देखते हैं। जो प्रकाश किसी वस्तु पर पड़ता है वह कुछ तो उसमें समा जाता है और कुछ प्रतिबिम्बित होकर हमारे अक्षपटल पर पहुॅंचता है। अक्षपटल के पाश्र्व में रोड्स और काॅन्स नामक सूक्ष्म तन्तु ग्रन्थियाॅं होती हैं जिनके द्वारा वस्तु से प्रतिबिम्बित तरंगों द्वारा वस्तु का वर्ण अनुभव होता है। काले व सफेद रंग की अनुभूति रोड्स द्वारा और पीला, नीला, लाल हरा आदि रंगों की अनुभूति काॅन्स द्वारा होती है। लाल व हरा रंग काॅन्स के एक सेट द्वारा तथा पीला, नीला दूसरे सेट द्वारा दिखाई पड़ता है। इसीलिये हरा व लाल एक साथ देखने या पीला नीला एक साथ देखने से आंखें शीघ्र नहीं थकती।

Rasulullah saw. had informed muslims about the occurrences that will befall mankind on their way to the end of time, including the evil disasters that will hit the earth, kill, and destroy the human being. As a muslim, there is no word except that we believe in the occurrences and phases of the journey towards the end of the time. This study aimed to explain one of the occurrences of the journey towards the end of time that befall the world and mankind today, which is one of the deadly infectious outbreaks so-called coronavirus or covid-19, which has destroyed many people, imprisoned people in cities and countries, and caused various disasters and havocs as the result of the outbreak. The research method used was library research which was through a literature review related to the research. The results showed that the information of the journey towards the end of time would appear one by one in the range of human life, how they live, so thus Allah swt. shows them the meaning of the age they lived in. The worse human life is, the more Allah swt. show the badness of that era to the point where it is rampant engulfing the world and mankind, even though among those times are pious people, whether in an Islamic country or groups. Muslims are encouraged to follow the Shari'a when an epidemic strikes a country, namely: 1) not entering a country affected by disaster; 2) close the container where the water is; 3) pray a lot and recite; and 4) living in the city of Medina; stay indoors. Finally, the effects of the plague at the end of time are: 1) the number of sudden deaths; and 2) humans are isolated.

Lonergan’s question is for all of us, including religious believers. The process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead renders the yes plausible, allowing us to understand the universe as more than dead matter and blind forces. There is no possibility of a final proof in answering Lonergan’s question, but there is knowledge. Kronman is not only the culmination of the no, he is the commencement of the yes. Accepting mortality engenders all human possibilities, including tenderness. The universe is emergent and creative. In its processes, the universe moves in the direction of life, complexity, intelligence, and morality. The stability and universality of the laws of nature support a friendly universe. The Earth maintains conditions for life. Quantum physics demonstrates our connection to matter. History is not circular but directional. Human life is purposeful. None of this is accidental.

As every present form is the carrier of its past, Chhi, as an idea, must also carry its past. Chhi is Cosmic Soul which, by nature, is a most subtle form of matter and, by function, Creative Energy. It created the universe including man, it preserves human life and, when properly assimilated, can prolong life. Such is its importance today. When traced to its earliest past, the inscribed character of Chhi supposed to reveal it as vapors rising upward. A critical analysis shows it to be dual-natured, a part indicating movement upward and another downward. It is the pictogram of freshly spilled blood which gives rise to vapors like miniature clouds, while the main liquid flows downward, sinking into the earth. Blood was looked upon as Blood-Soul, a magical substance, an all-becoming and all-performing power, as was Chhi at its beginning. As I-Chhi or Ek-Chhi, the One-Soul, the Cosmic-Soul, it finally became Ik-Si-R, Iksir or Elixir, an agency capable of transforming an old person into a youth and a base metal into gold. Thus, from beginning to end Chhi has remained "soul" by nature refined matter, and by function, creative energy.

Body Subject

The essay discusses selected poems from Thomas Hardy's vast body of poetry, focusing on representations of the self and the world. Employing Maurice Merleau-Ponty's concepts such as the body-subject, wild being, flesh, and reversibility, the essay offers an analysis of Hardy's poems in the light of phenomenological philosophy. It argues that far from demonstrating ‘cosmic indifference’, Hardy's poetry offers a sympathetic vision of interrelations governing the universe. The attunement with voices of the Earth foregrounded in the poems enables the self's entanglement in the flesh of the world, a chiasmatic intertwining of beings inserted between the leaves of the world. The relation of the self with the world is established through the act of perception, mainly visual and aural, when the body becomes intertwined with the world, thus resulting in a powerful welding. Such moments of vision are brief and elusive, which enhances a sense of transitoriness, and, yet, they are also timeless as the self becomes immersed in the experience. As time is a recurrent theme in Hardy's poetry, this essay discusses it in the context of dwelling, the provisionality of which is demonstrated in the prevalent sense of temporality, marked by seasons and birdsong, which underline the rhythms of the world.

This article attempted to trace the existence of Dhâmmong tradition in the following scopes, namely: (1) Madurese perception against Dhâmmong , (2) the function and symbolic meaning of Dhâmmong in human life, and (3) the efforts of the Madurese community to preserve the Dhâmmong tradition. Through a descriptive phenomenological analysis, this study revealed that Dhâmmong is a hereditary tradition carried out by the Madurese community, it is urged by the community’s anxiety caused by the long dry season (némor lanjheng). Dhâmmong functionsas a means for salametan, paying respect for the ancestors, strengthening human relations (silaturrahim ), Bhek Rembhek, and nguri berkah (the fertility of the earth). The offerings and mouth-music by imitating the sounds of animals represent a strong desire and wishof the community for the immediate rainfall that could pour out blessings for the community. Hence, the community’s efforts to preserve Dhâmmong are: (1) introducing and involving the younger generation in the ritual, and (2) setting and changing the time sequence of Dhâmmong implementation from night to daytime.
