Ghana is seriously reeling under the weight of the scourge of the COVID-19; while the scientists are doing their best to provide information concerning the dos and don’ts of the disease, its communication to the people has been a huge problem. This paper uses the qualitative research approach and the Performance and Communication theories to investigate this challenge. The study isolates the Akan communities for this investigation and argues that the Ghana COVID-19 communication uses too many elitist approaches and the local language is rarely used. Again, the paper establishes that the communication falls short of considering the Akans as oral thinkers and completely ignores their ideological identities as a group of people who rely on oral structures in language and morality. The paper further observes that the COVID-19 communication in Ghana fails to recognize the subtle creative processes of translating concepts in English into Akan due to the influence of the contexts of contact. These challenges have resulted in minimum or complete lack of cooperation by Akan communities thus throwing the whole COVID-19 campaign into jeopardy. The paper recommends that the COVID-19 communication should reconfigure its approach to reach the Akan communities. KEYWORDS: COVID-19, Akan communities, Akan moral thought, communication and cultural shareability, Ghana.

Freedom Of Belief

One of the greatest epistemological accomplishments that Muslims have achieved is the establishment of an accurate system of deriving rulings from Sharia texts, which is known as ‘principles of jurisprudence’ or Usūl ul Fiq. Among the significant contents of these subject is dealing with the text which apparently contradicts to other basic principles of Islam or objectives of Sharī’ah. The job of a jurist becomes more significant and difficult in devising the judgments and interpreting the texts as reported by the fundamentalists: inquiring the validity of the texts, finding its weakness with respect to strong argument, and comparing them in terms of authenticity. Other times, he tries to reconcile between the contradictions by keeping in view a meaning consistent with Sharī’ah. The application of these principles gave birth to the variety and diversity of opinions on account of Ijtihād. Keeping in view the above preamble, the author addressed one of the famous Ahadith of Holy Prophet PBUH: “I have been ordered to fight against the people until they testify...”. This saying of Holy Prophet PBUH attracted Muslim thinkers in past and present to address its meanings and application. Likewise some related debate has emerged in the modern period as regards whether the term "people" in the hadith is used generically or specifically - forcing these people to Islam after defeating? The author in this context, addressed the terminology of hadith, its apparent contradiction with the principles of Sharī’ah, legal maxims, provisions, diverse interpretations, and added his own opinion. Descriptive and qualitative research approach was employed for the collection, demonstration and analysis of data.

The purpose of this research was to determine the existence of the Muhammadiyah University of Gorontalo in increasing the income of the people of East Pentadio Village. This research uses a descriptive qualitative research approach, using interview instruments with various informants. The results using Samuelson's theory about the factors that influence income, show that the existence of the Muhammadiyah University of Gorontalo is able to increase the income of the people of East Pentadio Village. However, the current existence of the campus has not been fully utilized by the community in increasing the income of the people of East Pentadio Village. There are still many outsiders who take advantage of the opportunity of the existence of the Muhammadiyah University of Gorontalo by making larger businesses in the campus area so that community businesses that are built simply with little capital experience competition. The low level of education of rural communities makes the business that is built still not optimal and makes the community less creative and innovative in entrepreneurship.

The spread of hoax information on social media is still difficult to control. Various efforts have been made by the government to eradicate hoax information, even the Ministry of Communication and Information has chosen the decision to block accounts that spread hoaxes, especially those on social media. However, hoax information still exists and its spread is increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to have a strategy that is right on target to prevent the spread of hoaxes. To design a strategy that is right on target, it is necessary to identify the acceptance attitude and behavior of sharing hoax information on social media. Through research using an interpretive paradigm and a qualitative research approach with research data collection, namely interviews with 12 (twelve) informants who are part of the community in Banten, West Java and Aceh Provinces. So, an interesting finding was found that currently receiving hoax information that leads to belief can occur if hoax information is highly correlated with hoax recipients, viral is discussed in the community, and is in accordance with personal views or logic. This acceptance can motivate the behavior of sharing information back due to the desire to be recognized as a trendsetter in disseminating the first information to the people around him. This is the main factor in the dissemination of Hoax information which needs to get recommendations for improving policies and strategies for eliminating Hoaxes in Indonesian society.

Salafischools are lately emerging as new model schools. Salafiboarding schools have their own orientation and way of seeing education. Salafischools genealogically and intellectually have nothing to do with traditional Islamic boarding schools (salafi yah) and other modern boarding schools. The Salafi boarding schools have certain religious ideas which can be connected with the salafimovement in Indonesia and Islamic world. The Salafiboarding schools are experiencing significant growth. One of the Salafiboarding schools is Pesantren Assunah Kalitanjung Cirebon. Assunah boarding school has a positive and negative place amongst the people of Cirebon. In fact, pesantren Assunah has been accused of planting the seeds of violence that leads to terrorism. This research uses a qualitative research approach by interviewing a number of pesantren leaders and preachers of Assunah, organization leaders, representatives of Islamic universities as well as by observing the Assunah boarding school campus, studying the documents that exist in schools, and obtaining data and information relating to the Assunah school. The conclusion is that the Assunah salafiboarding school is carrying out a mission oriented toward an educational culture by implementing the concept of cultural transmission. Akhir-akhir ini muncul pesantren model baru yang sering disebut “pesantren salafi”.  Pesantren model salafimemiliki orientasi sendiri dalam cara memandang dan mengartikulasikan pendidikan yang diselenggarakan. Pesantren model salafisecara genealogi dan jaringan intelektual tidak memiliki kaitan dengan pesantren-pesantren tradisional (salafiyah) dan pesantren modern model Gontor dan jaringannya. Pesantren model salafiini memiliki paham keagamaan tertentu yang dapat dihubungkan dengan gerakan salafi baik di Indonesia maupun di dunia Islam lainnya. Pesantren model salafiini mengalami perkembangan yang cukup signifikan. Salah satu pesantren salafiadalah Pesantren Assunah Kalitanjung Cirebon. Pesantren Assunah ini mengalami pro dan kontra di kalangan masyarakat Cirebon. Bahkan, Pesantren Assunah pernah dituduh mengajarkan benih-benih kekerasan yang mengarah kepada terorisme. Melalui pendekatan penelitian kualitatif dengan mewawancarai sejumlah pimpinan dan ustadz pesantren Assunah, tokoh ormas, pihak perguruan tinggi Islam; mengobservasi kampus pesantren Assunah; dan mempelajari dokumen-dokumen yang ada di pesantren, didapatkan data dan informasi terkait dengan pesantren Assunah. Dengan menggunakan konsep “cultural transmission”, disimpulkan bahwa Pesantren Assunah sedang melakukan misi kontinuitas kultur salafidalam orientasi pendidikannya.
