scholarly journals A Critical Study of G. H. A Juynboll's Methodology in the Study of Hadith

Author(s):  
Alam Khan

This article analyzes methodology of an Orientalist, G. H. A Juynboll in Hadīth. He is one of those western scholars who has focused on the second primary source of Islamic Law and has developed skeptical theories related to its authenticity and provenance. He relied on early scholars' theories in this discipline and supported their thesis with a bulk of arguments from the early Classical Islamic Sources. A follow-up of his methodology reveals some scientific methodological errors in his studies on Hadīth that led him to a false conclusion. This study discusses the loopholes in his methodology and supports every point with illustrative examples from his works, revealing that Juynboll followed a selective method in his studies and reached his desired/concocted conclusion.

This paper explains the bases of legal aid in Islamic law through a critical study on the concept of hakam reduced from the Quranic interpretation Surah al-Nisâ’ verse 35. As a primary source of Islamic law, the Quran is believed guarantying the universal principles of Islamic law that is relevant with law enforcement. It is also implemented practically and comprehensively in the line of the bases of legal aid and developed it into the concept of hakam. Therefore, it can be seen as one of Islamic law contribution within the rule of law in Indonesia through the concept of hakam which can be formed for development of legal aid concept and its application within the law of legal aid in Indonesia.

This paper is simply explaining on the legal norms of human rights in the Quran through critical study on the Quranic interpretation Surah al-Nisâ’ verse 135. As the primary source of Islamic law, the Quran is believed covered the various verses which are relevant with the legal norms of human rights. Moreover the guarantee of human rights and its consideration in the Quran has been presently existed more than the idea of human rights in Western world. In addition, the crucial proble here is not talking about accepting or rejecting human rights within the Quran, but many scholars find the difficulties on understanding human rights in the Quran more than accepting it as the Holy Book and the way of life for human beings.

8004 Background: D-VTd plus ASCT was approved for transplant-eligible (TE) NDMM based on part 1 of CASSIOPEIA. We report a prespecified interim analysis of CASSIOPEIA part 2: DARA maintenance vs OBS in pts with ≥partial response (PR) in part 1, regardless of induction/consolidation (ind/cons) treatment. Methods: CASSIOPEIA is a 2-part, randomized, open-label, phase 3 study in TE NDMM. Pts received 4 cycles ind and 2 cycles cons with D-VTd or VTd. 886 pts who achieved ≥PR were rerandomized to DARA 16 mg/kg IV Q8W for up to 2 yr (n = 442) or OBS (n = 444) until progressive disease per IMWG. Pts were stratified by ind (D-VTd vs VTd) and depth of response (minimum residual disease [MRD] status and post cons response ≥PR). Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) after second randomization. This interim analysis assessed efficacy and safety after 281 PFS events. A preplanned hierarchical procedure tested key secondary endpoints: time to progression (TTP), ≥complete response (CR), MRD negativity rates by NGS and overall survival (OS). Results: At median follow-up of 35.4 mo, median PFS was not reached (NR) with DARA and 46.7 mo with OBS (HR 0.53; 95% CI 0.42–0.68; P <0.0001). PFS advantage for DARA was consistent across most subgroups. However, a prespecified analysis showed significant interaction with ind/cons treatment arm ( P< 0.0001). PFS HR for DARA vs OBS was 0.32 (95% CI 0.23–0.46) in the VTd arm and 1.02 (0.71–1.47) in the D-VTd arm. Median TTP was NR for DARA vs 46.7 mo for OBS (HR 0.49; 95% CI 0.38–0.62; P <0.0001). More pts in the DARA vs OBS arm achieved ≥CR (72.9% vs 60.8%; OR 2.17; 95% CI 1.54–3.07; P <0.0001). MRD negativity (in ≥CR pts at 10-5) was 58.6% with DARA vs 47.1% with OBS (OR 1.80; 95% CI 1.33–2.43; P= 0.0001). Median OS was NR in either arm. Most common (≥2.5%) grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) with DARA vs OBS were pneumonia (2.5% vs 1.4%), lymphopenia (3.6% vs 1.8%), and hypertension (3.0% vs 1.6%). Serious AEs occurred in 22.7% (DARA) vs 18.9% (OBS) of pts; the most common (≥2.5%) was pneumonia (2.5% vs 1.6%). 13 (3.0%) pts discontinued DARA due to an AE. The rate of infusion-related reactions was 54.5% (DARA-naïve pts) and 2.2% (prior DARA pts); 90% were grade 1/2.Second primary malignancies occurred in 5.5% (DARA) vs 2.7% (OBS) of pts. Conclusions: CASSIOPEIA part 2 demonstrated a clinical benefit of DARA maintenance in TE NDMM pts, with significantly longer PFS for DARA vs OBS. With current follow-up, maintenance PFS benefit appeared only in pts treated with VTd as ind/cons. Pts who received D-VTd ind/cons with or without DARA maintenance achieved similar PFS; longer follow-up is needed for PFS2 and OS. DARA significantly increased deeper response and MRD negativity rates vs OBS, and was well tolerated with no new safety signals. Clinical trial information: NCT02541383.

PURPOSE The AHL2011 study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01358747 ) demonstrated that a positron emission tomography (PET)-driven de-escalation strategy after two cycles of bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone (BEACOPP) provides similar progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) and reduces early toxicity compared with a nonmonitored standard treatment. Here, we report, with a prolonged follow-up, the final study results. METHODS Patients with advanced Hodgkin lymphoma (stage III, IV, or IIB with mediastinum/thorax ratio > 0.33 or extranodal involvement) age 16-60 years were prospectively randomly assigned between 6 × BEACOPP and a PET-driven arm after 2 × BEACOPP delivering 4 × ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) in PET2– and 4 × BEACOPP in PET2+ patients. PET performed after four cycles of chemotherapy had to be negative to complete the planned treatment. RESULTS In total, 823 patients were enrolled including 413 in the standard arm and 410 in the PET-driven arm. With a 67.2-month median follow-up, 5-year PFS (87.5% v 86.7%; hazard ratio [HR] = 1.07; 95% CI, 0.74 to 1.57; P = .67) and OS (97.7% in both arms; HR = 1.012; 95% CI, 0.50 to 2.10; P = .53) were similar in both randomization arms. In the whole cohort, full interim PET assessment predicted patients' 5-year PFS (92.3% in PET2–/PET4–, 75.4% [HR = 3.26; 95% CI, 18.3 to 5.77] in PET2+/PET4– and 46.5% [HR = 12.4; 95% CI, 7.31 to 19.51] in PET4+ patients, respectively; P < .0001) independent of international prognosis score. Five-year OS was also affected by interim PET results, and PET2+/PET4– patients (93.5%; HR = 3.3; 95% CI, 1.07 to 10.1; P = .036) and PET4+ patients (91.9%; HR = 3.756; 95% CI, 1.07 to 13.18; P = .038) had a significant lower OS than PET2–/PET4– patients (98.2%). Twenty-two patients (2.7%) developed a second primary malignancy, 13 (3.2%) and 9 (2.2%) in the standard and experimental arms, respectively. CONCLUSION The extended follow-up confirms the continued efficacy and favorable safety of AHL2011 PET-driven strategy, which is noninferior to standard six cycles of BEACOPP. PET4 provides additional prognostic information to PET2 and allows identifying patients with particularly poor prognosis.

Abstract:Gender discourse is an issue that has its distinct challenges in Islamic studies. This is due to the notion that gender discourse emerged from the western world and is also considered less linear with Islamic studies. The main cause of this impression is due to a lack of proportional understanding. Gender does not actually treat a person on the basis of sex, but on one's competence. If the gender approach is biological-natural and irreversible, then the gender approach is constructive-social, not natural, and thus can be altered. This paper argued that Qur'an Hadith as the primary source of Islam ensures that in the issues of position, worship, and law, men and women have equal position. Nonetheless, some aspects of fiqhiyah (Islamic jurisprudence) as an implementation of the primary source's understanding are still considered biased. The differences of thinking, the culture of society, and the challenges faced by imam fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence leaders) contribute to gender biasKeywords: Gender, Islamic Law, Fiqh Abstrak: Wacana gender merupakan isu yang memiliki tantangan tersendiri dalam kajian keislaman. Di samping lahir dari dunia Barat, wacana ini dipandang kurang linier dengan kajian keislaman. Kesan ini cenderung didasarkan atas pemahaman yang kurang proporsional. Gender bukanlah memperlakukan seseorang atas dasar jenis kelamin, tetapi atas kompetensi seseorang. Jika pendekatan jenis kelamin itu bersifat biologis-kodrati dan tidak dapat diubah, maka pendekatan gender bersifat konstruk-sosial, bukan kodrati, dan dapat diubah. Sumber primer Islam, seperti Alquran Hadits, memastikan dalam persoalan kedudukan, ibadah, dan hukum antara laki-laki dan perempuan memiliki posisi yang sama. Namun, sebagian dari aspek fiqhiyah sebagai implementasi atas pemahaman sumber primer itu dipandang masih bias. Perbedaan pemikiran, budaya masyarakat, dan tantangan yang dihadapi oleh para imam fiqh berkontribusi atas bias gender.Kata Kunci: Gender, Hukum Islam, Fiqh

Abstract: one of the big issue that is still debatable about the relationship between Islam and politics is how legitimate the democratic political system is in the paradigm of Islamic law. This study will explain the alternative paradigm in evaluating the democratic system based on the paradigm of Islamic law from a prominent Muslim intellectual named Yusuf al-Qaradawi. This research is a qualitative research in the form of literature review. The primary source used is a variety of literature that explains Yusuf al-Qaradawi's thoughts about democracy in Islam. The method used is the method of interpreting the thoughts of the figures with the maqasid al-shari‘ah approach. There are two big conclusions of this research. First, Yusuf al-Qaradawi's view of democracy can be said to be grounded in its epistemological foundation in understanding the concept of an Islamic state. For al-Qaradawi, an Islamic state is a system of government that provides policy improvisation space in the benefit of social, economic and political life based on the objectives of Islamic law (maqasid shari'ah). Second, Yusuf al-Qaradawi's view, the democratic system can be compatible with Islam if the principles in the democratic system are in accordance with various values which are the spirit of the objectives of Islamic law (maqasid shari'ah), such as the value of justice, equality of rights, freedom, etc. so. To realize this, the democratic system must carry a holistic vision and mission, which includes worldly and ukhrawi benefits as well as individual and social benefits.       Keywords: Validity, democracy, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, maqasid shari’ah;

<p class="abstract">Pharyngeal stenosis frequently occurs after laryngectomy or laryngo-pharyngectomy, more commonly in patients complicated with a post-operative pharyngo-cutaneous fistula. Oral feeding becomes challenging, restricted to liquids. In such cases, dilatations can be futile if there is a complete stricture necessiating surgery. We present a case of 72 -year-old man who underwent total laryngectomy with partial pharyngectomy with pectoral major myocutaneous flap reconstruction for second primary of hypopharyngeal T3N0M0, after primary laryngeal T1N0M0 treated with RT presented with nearly 4 cm pharyngeal stricture causing him absolute dysphagia. Multiple dilations failed to create adequate passage, pharyngeal stricture was then excised, and a neopharynx was constructed with supraclavicular artery island flap. The outcome was uneventful with restoration of normal pharyngeal permeability and swallowing by 12<sup>th</sup> post-operative day. Post-operative follow-up after 8 months remained satisfactory. Resection of limited height pharyngeal stenosis can be successfully performed as end-to-end anastomosis whereas reconstruction of a long segment pharyngeal stricture utilizing a loco-regional flap gives satisfactory outcome.</p>

PurposeExternal Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT) techniques dramatically changed over the years. This may have affected the risk of radiation-induced second primary cancers (SPC), due to increased irradiated low dose volumes and scatter radiation. We investigated whether patterns of SPC after EBRT have changed over the years in prostate cancer (PCa) survivors.Materials and MethodsPCa survivors diagnosed between 1990-2014 were selected from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Patients treated with EBRT were divided in three time periods, representing 2-dimensional Radiotherapy (RT), 3-dimensional conformal RT (3D-CRT), and the advanced RT (AdvRT) era. Standardized incidence ratios (SIR) and absolute excess risks (AER) were calculated to estimate relative and excess absolute SPC risks. Sub-hazard ratios (sHRs) were calculated to compare SPC rates between the EBRT and prostatectomy cohort. SPCs were categorized by subsite and anatomic region.ResultsPCa survivors who received EBRT had an increased risk of developing a solid SPC (SIR=1.08; 1.05-1.11), especially in patients aged &lt;70 years (SIR=1.13; 1.09-1.16). Pelvic SPC risks were increased (SIR=1.28; 1.23-1.34), with no obvious differences between the three EBRT eras. Non-pelvic SPC were only significantly increased in the AdvRT era (SIR=1.08; 1.02-1.14), in particular for the 1-5 year follow-up period. Comparing the EBRT cohort to the prostatectomy cohort, again an increased pelvic SPC risk was found for all EBRT periods (sHRs= 1.61, 1.47-1.76). Increased non-pelvic SPC risks were present for all RT eras and highest for the AdvRT period (sHRs=1.17, 1.06-1.29).ConclusionSPC risk in patients with EBRT is increased and remained throughout the different EBRT eras. The risk of developing a SPC outside the pelvic area changed unfavorably in the AdvRT era. Prolonged follow-up is needed to confirm this observation. Whether this is associated with increased irradiated low-dose volumes and scatter, or other changes in clinical EBRT practice, is the subject of further research.

The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of multiple primary melanomas (MPM) and other cancers types among patients with melanoma. Factors associated with development of MPM were assessed in a post hoc analysis of the database from a multi-institutional prospective randomized trial of patients with melanoma aged 18 to 70 years with Breslow thickness 1 mm or greater. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Forty-eight (1.9%) of 2506 patients with melanoma developed additional primary melanomas. Median follow-up was 66 months. Except in one patient, the subsequent melanomas were thinner (median, 0.32 mm vs 1.50 mm; P < 0.0001). Compared with patients without MPM, patients with MPM were more likely to be older (median age, 54.5 vs 51.0 years; P = 0.048), to have superficially spreading melanomas (SSM) ( P = 0.025), to have negative sentinel lymph nodes ( P = 0.021), or to lack lymphovascular invasion (LVI) ( P = 0.008) with the initial tumor. On multivariate analysis, age ( P = 0.028), LVI ( P = 0.010), and SSM subtype of the original melanoma ( P = 0.024) were associated with MPM. Patients with MPM and patients with single primary melanoma had similar DFS (5-year DFS 88.7 vs 81.3%, P = 0.380), but patients with MPM had better OS (5-year OS 95.3 vs 80.0%, P = 0.005). Nonmelanoma malignancies occurred in 152 patients (6.1%). Ongoing surveillance of patients with melanoma is important given that a significant number will develop additional melanoma and nonmelanoma tumors. With close follow-up, second primary melanomas are usually detected at an early stage.
