Praise be to Allah, Lord of the world. The beneficent, the merciful, the owner of the day of judgment and there is no God, but he, the most gracious and merciful. This article urges on the methodologies of Ibni-Jareer Al-tabari and Almasudi and their conceptual frameworks based on their ideologies and beliefs. Ibni-Jareer Al-tabari and Almasudi are the most prominent historians of Islamic history because their narrations and publications are considered to be the main sources of Islamic history. The study of the conceptual framework and methodologies of both scholars are of uttermost importance because both have published the Islamic history in the early ages, but both have different ideologies; Ibni-Jareer Al-tabari is a Sunni scholar and has vast knowledge about Quranic sciences and followed the strict rules of Hadith narrations in reporting historical events, he used narrative methodology for registering events before Islam and has reported events after Islam in chronological order year after year. On the other hand, Almasudi is considered to be the first Muslim scholar to combine history and scientific geography in his large-scale work named “Murūj al-dhahab wa maʿādin al-jawāhir” (The Meadows of Gold and Mines of Gems), but the conceptual framework of Almasudi is different from Ibni-Jareer Al-tabari, according to different scholars he was Mu’tazili more than a Sunni Muslim. Therefore, it was necessary to clarify the conceptual framework and the methodologies of both prominent historians of the Muslim world.

Tarikh al-Umam wa al-Muluk (history of nations and kings) by Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabiiri, is by common consent the most important universal history produced in the world of Islam. This monumental work explores the history of the ancient nations, the prophets, the rise of Islam and the history of  the Islamic World down to the year 302 A.H./915 AD. His work, chronicled the History of Islam year by year; an attempt to categorize history from creation till the year 302 A.H/915 A.D. By the time he had finished his work, he had gathered all the historical traditions of the Arabs in his voluminous work. The Muslim world was not slow in showing its appreciation, and this work became famous as Islamic Traditional Historiography. However, much to criticize by western scholars (orientalist or lslamicist) sphere in writting   style  of Thabari  work not systematically and interp retatively. In fact, no discovered logical argumen and rational parallel with historical ideas manifesting. The impact of uncommon muslim scholars to become a reference for Islamic historical Studies. A central theme of this paper will be invate of Muslim intellectuals/scholars to be Tarikh Thabari as prominent reference in the Islamic historical studies. Moreover, I will argue that Tarikh al-Umam wa al-muluk by al-Tabari is the most important reference on Islamic history than the other references.

Reform movements are important religious phenomena which haveoccurred throughout Islamic history. Medieval times saw theappearance of religious reformers, such as al-Ghazali, Ibn Taimiyah,Ibn Qayim al-Jawziyah and others; however, these reform activitiesdiffered significantly from the modern reform movement. The medievalreformers worked within Muslim society; it was not necessary to dealwith the external challenge presented by Europe as it was for themodern Muslim reformers after the world of Islam lost its independenceand fell under European rule. The powers of Europe believed that Islamwas the only force that impeded them in their quest for world dominanceand, relying on the strength of their physical presence in Muslimcountries, tried to convince the Muslim peoples tgat Islam was ahindrance to their progress and development.Another problem, no less serious than the first, faced by the modernMuslim reformers was the shocking ignorance of the Muslim peoples oftheir religion and their history. For more than four centuries,scholarship in all areas had been in an unabated state of decline. Thosereligious studies which were produced veered far from the spirit ofIslam, and they were so blurred and burdened with myths and legends,that they served only to confuse the masses.The ‘Ulama were worst of all: strictly rejecting change, they still hadthe mentality of their medieval forebearers against whom al-Ghazali,Ibn Taimiyah and others had fought. Hundreds of years behind thetimes, their central concern was tuqlid (the imitation of that which hadpreceeded them through the ages). For centuries, no one had dared toquestion this heritage or point out the religious innovations it impaired.In conjunction with their questioning of the tuqlid, the modernreformers strove to revive the concept of ijtihad (indmendentjudgement) in religious matters, an idea which had been disallowedsince the tenth century. The first to raiseanew the banner of $tihad inthe Arab Muslim world was Sayyid Jamal al-Din al-Afghani; after himSheikh Muhammad ‘Abduh in Egypt, and after him, his friend and ...

Статья посвящена творческому наследию выдающегося итальянско-еврейского учёного, историка и библеиста Умберто Кассуто (1883-1951). Его основной вклад в науку о Священном Писании - развёрнутая критика документальной гипотезы происхождения Пятикнижия. Основная часть данной статьи представляет собой изложение воззрений Кассуто на первый из «столпов» документальной гипотезы - употребление в тексте Торы Божественных имён. Автор надеется показать, что, используя строго научные методы, Кассуто даёт вполне правдоподобные альтернативные объяснения тем феноменам, на исключительную правоту собственного объяснения которых с момента возникновения претендует документальная гипотеза. Вместо того чтобы опровергать частные аспекты названной теории, Кассуто, последовательно выступая против самого принципа деления текста Пятикнижия на первоначально независимые друг от друга «источники», фактически предложил в библеистике новую научную парадигму, потенциально претендующую на всеохватность и полную замену документальной гипотезы. В последующей статье на эту же тему автор намеревается продемонстрировать подход У. Кассуто ко второму, третьему, четвёртому и пятому «столпам» документальной гипотезы, а также остановить внимание на рецепции идей Кассуто в мире библеистики. The present article is devoted to the scientific heritage left by a major Jewish academician of Italian descent, historian and biblical scholar Umberto Cassuto (1883-1951). His main contribution to this field consists in large-scale criticism of the Documentary Hypothesis of the origin of the Pentateuch. In the main part of our article the author presents an outline of Cassuto’s views on the first of the five «pillars» onwhich the Documentary Hypothesis rests. The author endeavors to demonstrate that, using strictly scientific argumentation, Cassuto gives quite plausible alternative explanations to such phenomena as the Documentary Hypothesis claims its unique right to explain correctly. Instead of attacking and refuting any particular aspects of the hypothesis, Cassutoconsistently argues against the very principle according to which the Torah is divided among a number of «source texts» perceived to have once been independent of one another. As a matter of fact, U. Cassuto has presented a new scholarly paradigm with a potential that would suffice to make it a full-fledged substitution of the Documentary Hypothesis. In a second article on this topic the author intends to demonstrate Cassuto’s approach to the other four «pillars» of the Documentary Hypothesis as well as to devote special attention to the response that Cassuto’s ideas met in the world of Bible studies.

This article presents an alternative concept of resolving disputes over Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) from the perspectives of the sociology of Islamic Law. The aim is to find the possibility of obtaining better alternative dispute esolutions that meet the feelings of justice of the parties. Up to now, Pilkada dispute resolution always took the path of litigation (court), which ended in victory on the one side and defeat on the other side. Rarely, if ever, there is a dispute settlement that takes a non-litigation path to get a win-win solution. Even though there were no historical documents found in Islamic history on the Regional Head elections; But the absence of the document does not necessarily mean that Islam has no concept that can be used to solve humanitarian problems. As a religion characterized by rahmatan lil alamin (peace upon the world), Islam has a concept that can be applied to resolve disputes that refer to some principles originating from Syari'ah arguments, namely: al-Qur'an, al-Sunnah, Ijmā’ (agreement of the scholars), Qiyās (analogy), Maslahah Mursalah (benefit of society), and ‘Urf (community tradition).

Given the headlong and convulsive pace of political change occurring in the republics of the former Soviet Union, predictions concerning future developments in that area of the world must necessarily be tenuous and hedged about with caveats. The question of the likely scale of in-migration from the other former union republics into the Russian Republic over the remainder of this decade is, however, so politically charged and so important that analysts and forecasters can ill afford to ignore it. One suspects that Western policy-makers are increasingly going to have to focus their attention upon the fate of the 25.3 million ethnic Russians living in that part of the former Soviet Union now called the “Near Abroad” (blizhnee zarubezh'e).

As a study, documentary film is often used as a reference because of its historical, social, cultural and political representation which signifies the facts in society. It is no wonder that the production as well as the analysis of the film genre and its development around the world have created such debate, including in the academic realm. The film The Act of Killing is one of them. Directed by an American filmmaker, Joshua Oppenheimer, the film tries to reveal the other facts of Indonesian history which have been covered and never imagined before, especially, the implications of Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) massacre in 1965. Taking the testimony of the actors, the film is quite controversial because it tells and descibes kind of sadism and human rights violations on PKI elements and other ethnicity. Thus it changes the world opinion about the Indonesian history in 1965. However, as a construction, film is a film. Sometimes, there is always a bias. What depicted in a film is a result of the cineast interpretation of historical events that may be different from other point of view. For instance, a contradictory between humanity and ideology has created a discourse among the viewers. While the director focus on a violation of human rights and set everything based on this perspectives, the actors or the perpetrators feel that what they did was a form of struggle to defense the country.

ABSTRACTVarroa destructor is an ectoparasitic mite causing devastating damages to honey bee colonies around the world. Its impact is considered a major factor contributing to the significant seasonal losses of colonies recorded every year. Beekeepers are usually relying on a reduced set of acaricides to manage the parasite, usually the pyrethroids tau-fluvalinate or flumethrin, the organophosphate coumaphos and the formamidine amitraz. However, the evolution of resistance in the populations is leading to an unsustainable scenario with almost no alternatives to reach an adequate control of the mite.Here we present the results from the first, large-scale and extensive monitoring of the susceptibility to acaricides in the Comunitat Valenciana, one of the most prominent apicultural regions in Spain. Our ultimate goal was to provide beekeepers with timely information to help them decide what would be the best alternative for a long-term control of the mites in their apiaries. Our data show that there is a significant variation in the expected efficacy of coumaphos and pyrethroids across the region, indicating the presence of a different ratio of resistant individuals to these acaricides in each population. On the other hand, the expected efficacy of amitraz was more consistent, although slightly below the expected efficacy according to the label.HIGHLIGHTSVarroa destructor is causing severe damages to honey bee colonies worldwide.There are very few acaricides available to manage the parasite.The evolution of resistance is limiting our capacity to control the mite.We estimated the expected efficacy of the main acaricides in many Spanish apiaries.The information was shared with beekeepers for them to decide the best treatment to control the mite.

In Three Mothers; Three Daughters: Palestinian Women's Stories, RafiqaOthman and Michael Gorkin present six remarkable life narratives fromPalestinian women living in the Occupied Territories and Israel. By selectingthree mother/daughter pairs from very different social and political circumstances,they represent, in dramatic microcosm, many elements of thetwentieth-century Palestinian experience. Moreover, these stories have astunning universal appeal, transcending their specific national context byrevealing complicated issues of gender and generational relations familiarthroughout the world. In this way, Gorkin and Othman have crafted an oralhistory that is both specific to - and transcendent of - Palestine.From the outset of their collaboration, Gorkin and Othman wrestledwith their complex personal positions and relationship, and used their prefaceand epilogue to frame their study in these terms. Gorkin is an AmericanJew living in Israel; Othman is a Palestinian Muslim from Abu Ghosh, theonly Arab village on the Israeli side of the Green Line in the Jerusalem areato survive the 1948-49 war. Their collaboration was not only controversialbecause one is a Jew and the other an Arab, but also because being anunmarried woman, Othman confronted the issue of 'ayb (shame) fallingupon her family if society misjudged her association with her male collalrorator. Moreover, several of the project's six informants would not speakwith Gorkin because he is a man.Thus, Othman juggled a difficult problem that often faces scholars conductinganthropological research within their societies: a complicated statusas both an insider and an outsider. It is to her credit that she deals directlywith this issue. Othman points out her position as a confidante at times, anddoes not hesitate to draw on a common sense of "sisterhood" to relate towomen's struggles. However, as an Arab living inside Israel, her ability tounderstand the experiences of Palestinians living under the occupation is difficultand painful. She reminds the reader that Palestinian experiences are asdiverse as any others, and that at times she is as much a political outsider asGorkin.The three mother/daughter pairs come from a relatively small territorialradius. However, the historical events and the borders emerging from ...

According to Locke, all people are free and equal. Consequently, the natural world belongs to all people in common. But each person, along with his labor, belongs only to himself. Thus, although all people share a common right to use the world, each person acquires a private right to resources he “mixes” with his labor. Before large-scale economic development, there was no problem with each person appropriating as much as he could use, because this left “enough, and as good” for others. But once money spurred development, people could efficiently use far more. Under these new conditions, there was no longer enough and as good lying in common. Consequently, although everyone got richer through economic development, the world divided into resource owners and employees working on others’ resources. All of this posed a dilemma for Locke. On the one hand, people could be required to leave the world lying in common, preserving equal standing but sacrificing well-being for all. On the other, people could be permitted to develop the world into a network of private plots, greatly increasing well-being for all but sacrificing equal standing. Locke notices the tension, but he lacks an adequate solution. He implausibly appeals to our purported consent to money and its consequences before ending the chapter, thus leaving his property problem for others to solve.
