New Formula

Muslim students are words that combine two identities, namely the seeker of knowledge and submission to Allah S.W.T. If these two elements are combined, then a Muslim student has no way for him except to make the Quran as a source of guidance. Surah al-Fatihah is a solution that can be the qibla of the formation of a Muslim student because without the application of this surah the knowledge required can be less blessed, worship will be lame, the formation of identity will not be balanced, communication between servants and creators will face deadlock. What is certain is that surah al-Fatihah is the determinant of the acceptance of prayer, the medium of communication between human beings and creators, all of which have a profound effect on the process of character formation of a student’s life. Surah al-Fatihah is placed at the earliest in the order of mushaf al-Quran as a guide in doing, thinking, acting and behaving in living life, especially in seeking knowledge. Surah al-Fatihah as part of the Quran is certainly not left behind in paying attention to the development of the character of a student’s thinking. This is reflected in the declaration of the reciter to be with Allah S.W.T, not asking except to the Almighty, not doing except under the presence of meetings with the ruler of the Day of Judgment, his days are filled with worship and prayer, always alert to the wrath of Allah S.W.T and the danger of misguided thoughts and understandings that are not in line with the Quran. This paper can to some extent give a new formula in our thoughts and actions through the study of surah al-Fatihah starting from the concept of maiatullah, seeking sustenance, doomsday, worship, and prayer.

Evolution is a prominent component of biology education and remains controversial among college biology students in the United States who are mostly Christian, but science education researchers have not explored the attitudes of Muslim biology students in the United States. To explore perceptions of evolution among Muslim students in the United States, we surveyed 7,909 college students in 52 biology classes in 13 states about their acceptance of evolution, interest in evolution, and understanding of evolution. Muslim students in our sample, on average, did not agree with items that measured acceptance of macroevolution and human evolution. Further, on average, Muslim students agreed, but did not strongly agree with items measuring microevolution acceptance. Controlling for gender, major, race/ethnicity, and international status, we found that the evolution acceptance and interest levels of Muslim students were slightly higher than Protestant students and students who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, Muslim student evolution acceptance levels were significantly lower than Catholic, Jewish, Buddhist, and Hindu students as well as students who did not identify with a religion (agnostic and atheists). Muslim student understanding of evolution was similar to students from other affiliations, but was lower than agnostic and atheist students. We also examined which variables are associated with Muslim student acceptance of evolution and found that higher understanding of evolution and lower religiosity are positive predictors of evolution acceptance among Muslim students, which is similar to the broader population of biology students. These data are the first to document that Muslim students have lower acceptance of evolution compared to students from other affiliations in undergraduate biology classrooms in the United States.

This scientific work outlines the obstacles facing Pesantren education in improving academic human beings' global-multicultural era. Pesantren global currents can cause paradox or symptoms of counter-morality. So does the pattern of life in the West, even significantly affect the moral decay, moral and human behavior. With this condition, the influence is considerable on human life, both physical and spiritual. Thus, Pesantren education faced various challenges with developing education models in the era of globalization implemented by community members, such as system problems, human resource problems, and curriculum development. Therefore, to improve the quality of academic humanity in the global-multicultural era, Pesantren have problems exploring all the resources they have. Because Pesantren education is less concerned with the situation, human resource problem, a strong influence of western culture in domination and imperialization of information, and the current culture of globalization can lead to paradox or symptoms of counter-morality. With this problem, a Pesantren can devote all the power, effort, and ability to innovate. Finding something new can help a student's life for the better. However, if Pesantren does not dig all his skills, he will be left behind by the ever-evolving era.

Theory Of Human Nature

In this article I maintain that the anti-theoretical spirit which pervades Williams's ethics is close to the Humean project of developing and defending an ethics based on sentiments which has its main focus in the virtues. In particular, I argue that there are similar underlying themes which run through the philosophies of Hume and Williams, such as the view that a correct ethical perspective cannot avoid dealing with a broader theory of human nature; the conviction that this inquiry cannot be developed in abstraction from the contingencies which are distinctive of the lives of flesh-and-blood human beings driven by passions; and the belief that the notion of character plays a key role in identifying and morally evaluating such lives. Finally, Williams' account of the psychological mechanism of shame in explaining character formation bears a strong resemblance to Hume's treatment of the passion of humility.

Erie Canal

In 1978, Love Canal resident Anne Hillis sarcastically explained the “recipe” for the chemical disaster taking shape in her neighborhood: take “approximately 16 acres” of land, add “22,000 tons of toxic wastes, mix with spring water, snow, etc …” Then, she wrote, add “human beings.” The “yield” would be “miscarriage … birth defects … suicide and death.” For people wondering just how the chemicals ended up in Love Canal in the first place, Hillis wrote that the whole saga began not in the recent past but in “the late 1800s, [when] a canal had been dug” by a starry-eyed industrialist who then abandoned the altered landscape. The groove of earth he left behind was “filled in with chemicals in the … 1940s,” covered over and forgotten. Only later would “these chemicals” migrate from the dump into the local environment. For Hillis, as for other residents, Love Canal’s troubled environmental present was a product of its toxic past. But how far back did that troubled past go? New York State health officials asserted that the “seeds” of Love Canal were sown in Niagara’s “highly industrialized” history, which stretched from the late 19th century onward. Similarly, the Niagara Gazette created a “Love Canal Chronology” that began in 1894, when entrepreneur William Love began excavating a power canal that never materialized but whose remains formed a perfect burial pit later on. An activist group pushed Love Canal’s chronology back further. Although “Love Canal became a household word in 1978,” the group claimed, “the idea for the place that was to carry the name originated in 1836,” when an engineer stamped out the route of an artificial river that would be even grander than the Erie Canal. No matter how far back they went, all of these commentators saw history as a key lens through which to view the modern Love Canal disaster. Yet few traced the area’s toxic history back to colonial times.

Eleven young men, eight of them members of the Muslim Student Association at the University of California, Irvine, and three from UC Riverside, as part of a planned stratagem, in turn stood up and heckled the Israeli Ambassador to the United States for about 5 min during his public presentation on the Irvine campus. They were ejected from the auditorium and punished by the University. Subsequently, the local district attorney filed misdemeanor charges against the group and won a conviction. The article provides details of the event, the varying reactions to the behavior and to the criminal case, and describes and analyzes a key state Supreme Court opinion considering the constitutionality of the statute employed against the students. Finally, recommendations are offered as a means to avoid what the writer regards as an unfortunate and perhaps biased official action against members of an ethnic minority.

Central Claim

This paper explores the new frontier within Kantian scholarship which suggests that Kant places so much special importance on the value of rational nature that the supreme principle of morality and the concept of human dignity are both grounded on it. Advocates of this reading argue that the notion of autonomy and dignity should now be considered as the central claim of Kant’s ethics, rather than the universalisation of maxims. Kant’s ethics are termed as repugnant for they place a high demand on the universalisation of maxims as a universal moral principle. As a result, they argue that there is an urgent need to rescue Kant’s ethics from the controversies surrounding maxims and universalisability, and the best way to rescue his ethics is by “leaving deontology behind”. It must be left behind because the categorical imperative is not needed in order to rescue Kant’s ethics, as deontology is often overrated. Consequently, the highest duties of the human being are to ensure that his fellow human beings enjoy unhindered autonomy and receive the honour that their dignity duly deserves, as well as to look after their welfare and treat them with respect, regardless of their dispositions. I review recent literature to appraise this new frontier within Kantian scholarship. I also explore the works of philosophers, such as Herman, Korsgaard, Wood, Höffe, and, specifically, Hill, on Kant’s conception of human dignity in relation to its conception as autonomy, humanity, and the source of human rights.

The Qur'an is a revelation that is a useful guide for believers in facing various problems of life including pandemic tribulations. Al-Quran shows guidance in accepting and eradicating the pandemic that Allah SWT has determined. Problems arise for some who claim that pandemics should be avoided through technology prevention or treatment alone. Apparently in the Qur'an provides guidance in aspects of life and religion to face the pandemic tribulations. The objective of this study focuses on formulating the Quranic guide in dealing with pandemic tribulations in terms of preparation, prevention and awareness. This qualitative study was produced by applying the method of data collection and analysis of data from Quranic verses and key interpretations. Important findings state that references to revelation cause pandemic to be encountered and eradicated by the norms of faith. Pandemic have been recorded in the Qur'an as a test against the believers and a catastrophe against the negative group among human beings. The Qur'an is also not left behind in explaining the situation of qadha pandemic which contains great wisdom. The most important conclusion is that the adherence to the Qur'an causes people to become calm and continue to strive to deal with pandemic without rejection of the demands of faith. Allah SWT must be remembered as the owner of the epidemic that has occurred over time, even though the apparent cause of some pandemics is due to habits or viruses among humans. Al-Quran al-Karim merupakan wahyu yang menjadi panduan berguna buat manusia yang beriman dalam menghadapi pelbagai permasalahan hidup termasuk tribulasi wabak. Al-Quran mengutarakan panduan dalam menerima dan menangkis wabak yang telah ditentukan Allah SWT. Permasalahan timbul bagi sesetengah pihak yang mendakwa wabak seharusnya dijauhi dengan kaedah pencegahan atau perawatan teknologi semata-mata. Ternyata dalam al-Quran menyediakan panduan dalam aspek duniawi dan ukhrawi bagi menghadapi tribulasi wabak. Objektif kajian ini memfokuskan kepada merumuskan panduan al-Quran dalam menghadapi tribulasi wabak dalam aspek persediaan, penghindaran dan kesedaran. Kajian kualitatif ini dihasilkan dengan mengaplikasikan metod pengumpulan data dan penganalisisan data daripada ayat al-Quran dan pentafsiran muktabar. Dapatan penting menyatakan bahawa rujukan terhadap wahyu menyebabkan wabak dapat dihadapi dan ditangani dengan norma keimanan. Wabak sememangnya telah dirakamkan dalam al-Quran sebagai ujian terhadap orang beriman dan bencana terhadap golongan negatif di kalangan manusia. Al-Quran juga tidak ketinggalan dalam menerangkan situasi qadha’ wabak yang mengandungi hikmah yang besar. Kesimpulan terpenting ialah sesungguhnya pegangan terhadap al-Quran menyebabkan manusia mernjadi tenang dan terus berusaha menangani wabak tanpa berlaku pemisahan terhadap tuntutan keimanan. Allah SWT wajib dingati sebagai pemegang urusan wabak yang berlaku zaman-berzaman biarpun zahir penyebab sebahagian wabak adalah disebabkan tabiat atau virus di kalangan manusia.

<p>This article aims to describe Islamic religious thought of Muslim student at Khairun<br />University in Ternate and the dynamic of religious movement organizations on  campus. Informants of this study were selected using purposive method including activists of  Islamic organizations, students, and lecturers of the university. Data were collected using interviews, observation, and documentation, and searching data related to social context of the study from the internet. Findings of the research shows that the type of religious understanding and nationality of Muslim students after the reformation era at Khairun University began experiencing a shift since the presence of trans-national organizations, such as the Indonesian Muslim Student Action Union (KAMMI), Campus Propagation Institute (LDK), Hizbut Tahrir (HT), and Wahdah Islamiyah (WI). Those organizations adopt fundamentalists thought who want purification of Islam, and anti-tradition. Nationality thought adopted by these organizations is a country that imposes Islamic law and Establishes a state of Khilafah (HT). Nevertheless, most students at the Khairun University embrace cultural Islam, following the footsteps of their parents and Ternate society in general.</p>
