Qur'anic and post-Qur'anic accounts about Jonah and the Ninevites encode traces of ideological transformations in the early Muslim community. This article explores how the story of a prophet's anguished mission to a foreign, enemy people appears in early Muslim materials in varied iterations. Whereas the Qur'anic telling of the Jonah narrative has an inclusivist, universalist subtext, post-Qur'anic retellings have clear supersessionist overtones, a change which reflects attitudinal shifts in the way early Muslims imagined themselves as a prophetic community in relation to a prophetic past. This article describes the shift as a transition from a typological to a teleological mode of historical legitimation.

The study of living Qur'an is one of the studies in the form of scientific research on social events in the Muslim community by positioning the Qur'an as the main behavior and actions in daily life. From there, it will be seen how they react continuously and live up to the values ​​of the al-Qur'an in their community. The study of the Living Qur'an appears as a phenomenon of the Qur'an in everyday life, namely the function and meaning of the Qur'an is understood and practiced by the Muslim community in real terms in everyday life. Unlike the study of the Koran which only focuses on the al-Qur'an as an object of study that focuses on the textuality of the Qur'an it self, while the living Al-Qur'an is more focused on the way people position the Qur'an. In his daily life. One example of this living Qur'an practice is the tradition of Free Lunch after Friday prayers at the Jogokariyan Mosque. In this tradition, the Muslim community tries to live up to the value of sodaqoh contained in the Al-Qur'an surah al-Baqarah verse 261. This tradition emerged in the community as a form of social tradition with the aim of providing assistance in the form of free lunch (free lunch) to Friday congregation.

There are experiences and accumulations that people have, consciously or unconsciously, throughout their life. These achievements are generally defined by names such as habit, moderation, temperament, and angel. While behaviors that are liked and praised by other members of the society are accepted, behaviors that are not approved are considered bad. Our habits are indispensable elements of daily life. Since they emerge without thinking and planning rather than being conscious, it makes life easier, practical and fluid. Although it is positive to make moral behavior and virtues a habit, when considered in the context of religious thought and worship life, over time, consciousness / consciousness disappears and can become actions taken without thought. When awareness and consciousness are disabled, religious thought and lifestyle show signs of degeneration. The way of life shaped by habit causes some behaviors that are seen as minor sins in the flow of daily life to be perceived as if there is no religious drawback in practice. Instead of shaping their lives in the light of the Qur'an and circumcision, people develop a unique perception of religion that begins to believe as they live. Verses and hadiths are understood beyond their real meaning with interpretations and compelling interpretations, where weak fatwas are accepted as sources. This situation leads the Muslim community to points that can produce dire consequences in terms of belief. In this study, habits-specific evaluations and determinations will be presented regarding these issues.

This is one of remarkably few recent books devoted to the Islamic theoretical conversation of constitutional law, by considering the genesis of polity within the Muslim community through historical, political, theological, and legal perspectives. The book provides the contentious concept of jihad and Islamic state which is perceived as the early Muslims’ legacy in this contemporary world. Specifically, it opens a window into the way of understanding the Muslim history by contesting Muhammad’s tolerant polity and the current extremism notion attached to Islam. Beginning the chapter, Asma Afsaruddin, an associate professor at the University of Notre Dame, presents an account of the dawn of Islam brought by the Prophet Muhammad. She takes the lifetime of Muhammad into an account of how the early Muslim community would be shaped from the age of ignorance (Al-Jahiliyya). The term Al-Jahiliyya refers to the time of recklessness and disregard for certain moral, spiritual, and social values revered by Muslims and other righteous people (p. 3).

AbstractThe phenomenon of “secret” (siri) Muslim marriages—marriages that are conducted without state recognition—has become a hotly debated topic in Indonesia, particularly since the emergence of Muslim marriage agencies that organize unregistered online marriages. The issue is particularly contested between the state, women's activists, legal activists, and religious leaders. This article analyses the current efforts of the Indonesian state to bureaucratize Muslim marriages by insisting that unregistered marriages need to be registered with the state, and the societal responses to such regulations. Those who believe in the importance of state registration of Muslim marriage emphasize that it is an integral part of social reform. However, it has also been seen as creating problems when it only serves the interests of the majority and stands in the way of minority religious understandings, particularly by some conservative Muslims who believe that marriages within the Muslim community should be regulated by Muslim leaders (ʿulamāʾ) only, and not the state. This article argues that unregistered marriage has been the real test of the bureaucratization of religion in Indonesia. The government's effort to demonstrate its Islamic credentials by accommodating the people's majority religion has led it to assume an ambiguous position on the issue of unregistered marriages.
