Abstract, Muhammadiyah as a religious organization, is very concerned with the world of education. The presence of Muhammadiyah education in educating the nation's life has been going on for more than a century, since its establishment in 1912. Its educational characteristics, which symbolize the personality of Muhammadiyah, have brought progress in education throughout Indonesia, from Sabang to Merauke. Data were collected through interviews, observation and documentation. From the research results, it is illustrated that the Muhammadiyah education movement advances education in Muslim minority areas, with its educational identity Al Islam and Muhammadiyah, collegiate management patterns and community cooperation. Muhammadiyah with its solar light brings enlightenment to the progress of education in West Papua, not only for the Muslim community but also for non-Muslims. In accordance with Muhammadiyah's khittah as a reformer, the Muhammadiyah Education movement in West Papua is synonymous with inclusive, pluralist, and moderate concepts. This proves that Muhammadiyah has long been enlightening its rays by carrying out tajdid propagation of its culture in the Muslim minority areas of the Earth of Paradise.

Praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon the leader of all the Prophets, upon his descendants, his disciples, and the ones who follow him to the Day of Judgment.     Islam entered China as early as in the first century Hijrah corresponding to the seventh century AD, in the reign of Caliph Othman. From the beginning until current time, ten national minority groups accepted Islam.   Chinese Muslim Community is the second biggest Muslim minority group in the world, but tops the chart when it comes to bearing the hardships for Islam. The Mosque in china not used only for prayer, but also a place for Muslims to learn Islamic knowledge, which has played a significant role in consolidation of faith and alleviating hardships. But unluckily most of foreigner Muslim brothers do not know about Mosque education system in china, that’s why I have chosen this topic to provide basic concept about Mosque education (Madrasa) in china.   Lastly, I hope this small article would be useful and wish the readers might get the most benefits from it. Inshallah!

scholarly journals CHRISTIANITY OF CHRISTIANS: An Exegetical Interpretation of Matt. 5:13-16 And its Challenges to Christians in Nigerian Context

Matt. 5:13-16 is significant in the understanding of the Sermon on the Mount. It forms a transition from identifying those who are to live according to the demands of the Sermon on the Mount in the present (5:17-7:27) and those who will live the life of blessedness in the future (5:3-12). In this transitional passage, the audience is metaphorically identified as “The salt of the earth” and “the light of the world.” Using these metaphors to describe the audience draws attention to their usage in normal life situations. Equally, the metaphorical understanding of these elements both in biblical and social parlance is instructive. For instance, salt is a sign of covenant while light is a sign of orderliness and progress. Salt must lose its physical qualities before its preservative and flavouring effects could be noticed. In the same way, candle as source of light degenerates gradually as it gives its light till it burns itself out for the good of others. So when Jesus uses “salt” and “light” to refer to his disciples he means that they are to be to humanity what salt and light are. He urged his followers to become the salt and the light in the world that is hostile to God, lost in sin, ruined, and even depraved. This text was studied within the Nigerian Christian context. Within this context, there are so many Christians, and at the same time there are so many elements that tend to hinder the full realization of their Christian vocation of being salt and light, though not insurmountable. These elements are structurally imbedded in the socio-political, economic, and religious organization of Nigeria. These elements include double allegiance, bribery and corruption, etc. This book studied Matt 5: 13-16 in the context of Christians in Nigeria. It discusses the theological implications of being salt and light in the context of Nigeria. It established that Christians in Nigeria understand their worth as “salt” and “light” to the Nigerian nation, but the only problem is the will-power to fulfil it despite the socio-cultural and political context of the nation, Nigeria. Hence, it affirms that there are societal and existential challenges to being salt and light, and that it is only by overcoming these challenges that Christians can truly be salt and light. That is, how they understand, relate, and respond to the challenges of this text in their day-to-day life within the prevalent context that determines their Christianity. The book discusses the theological implications of being salt and light in the context of Nigeria. The metaphor of salt and light, therefore, as applied to Christians from the metaphorical and theological perspectives signify that they must preserve the Nigerian nation and its people from the putrefying effects of hatred, violence, injustice and ethnocentrism. As salt and light, Christians must purify and heal minds and hearts of corrupt and evil ways, and administer the life-giving Gospel message implied by the Sermon on the Mount to keep Nigeria and its people alive. Some of the recommendations we arrived at in this book among others include: Christians should rise to the challenge of Matt 5:13-16 in their environment no matter what; Salt and Light are encouraged to be used as Sacramental more than ever. Significantly, this work will be of immense assistance to Christians in Nigeria as well as Christians all over the world.

Exiting socialism by almost a third of the earth population appears to be the most prominent event of the late XX century. The author makes an attempt to formulate some challenges of this process and thus a theory of exiting socialism. First, he inquires into the concept of exiting socialism as it exists in the world. Then he analyzes real experiences in this field. The research enables the author to outline the main economic, governmental and social challenges of such exit - from municipal economy to science and culture.

There is something more catastrophic than the end of the world, especially when ‘world’ is understood as the horizon of meaning and expectation that has composed the West. If the Anthropocene is the geological period marking the point at which the earth as a living system has been altered by ‘anthropos,’ the Trumpocene marks the twenty-first-century recognition that the destruction of the planet has occurred by way of racial violence, slavery and annihilation. Rather than saving the world, recognizing the Trumpocene demands that we think about destroying the barbarism that has marked the earth.

The essay discusses selected poems from Thomas Hardy's vast body of poetry, focusing on representations of the self and the world. Employing Maurice Merleau-Ponty's concepts such as the body-subject, wild being, flesh, and reversibility, the essay offers an analysis of Hardy's poems in the light of phenomenological philosophy. It argues that far from demonstrating ‘cosmic indifference’, Hardy's poetry offers a sympathetic vision of interrelations governing the universe. The attunement with voices of the Earth foregrounded in the poems enables the self's entanglement in the flesh of the world, a chiasmatic intertwining of beings inserted between the leaves of the world. The relation of the self with the world is established through the act of perception, mainly visual and aural, when the body becomes intertwined with the world, thus resulting in a powerful welding. Such moments of vision are brief and elusive, which enhances a sense of transitoriness, and, yet, they are also timeless as the self becomes immersed in the experience. As time is a recurrent theme in Hardy's poetry, this essay discusses it in the context of dwelling, the provisionality of which is demonstrated in the prevalent sense of temporality, marked by seasons and birdsong, which underline the rhythms of the world.

Abstract. The Islamic education, Islamic boarding schools and madrasas, have made a very significant contribution to the implementation of education and social reform. Through the teaching process, in which the kyai as the main figure and the use of the ‘yellow book’, traditional Islamic ideas colored the early days of growing awareness as a nation and a State. When the New Order government carried out the development and modernization of society, there was a revival of a Muslim group called the “new middle class santri”, which took place in line with the modernization that occurred in the traditional Islamic educational institutions of the pesantren. Then in the era of democratization, the world of Islamic education experienced growth and development in various religious institutions and styles. Most of the pesantren are still committed to maintaining a moderate religious style, recognized as the foundation for the development of civil society and the formation of a ‘distinctive’, friendly, moderate, and tolerant social-political identity of Indonesian society. The Muslim character is different from other regions, especially the Middle East which is the axis of the Islamic world. However, a small proportion of pesantren are thought to promote the growth of religious chauvinism, teach a ‘narrow’ interpretation of Islam and provide a framework of thought and action in responding to socio-political change which often takes the form of a ‘jihad’. This article tries to explore the contribution of Islamic education to social change in the Indonesian Muslim community. Abstark. Dunia pendidikan Islam, pesantren dan madrasah, memberikan kontribusi sangat berarti dalam penyelenggaraan pendidikan dan reformasi kemasyarakatan. Melalui proses pengajaran, di mana kyai sebagai figur utama dan penggunaan ‘kitab kuning’, gagasan Islam tradisional mewarnai masa-masa awal tumbuhnya kesadaran sebagai bangsa dan Negara. Ketika pemerintah Orde Baru melakukan pembangunan dan modernisasi masyarakat, terjadi kebangkitan kelompok Muslim yang di sebut “kelas menengah santri baru”, berlangsung sejalan dengan modernisasi yang terjadi dalam lembaga pendidikan Islam tradisional pesantren. Kemudian pada era demokratisasi, dunia pendidikan Islam mengalami pertumbuhan dan perkembangan dalam beragam kelembagaan dan corak keagamaan. Sebagian besar pesantren masih tetap istiqomah dalam mempertahankan corak keagamaan yang moderat, diakui sebagai pondasi berkembangnya masyarakat sipil dan pembentukan identitas sosial-politik masyarakat Indonesia yang ‘khas’, ramah, moderat, dan toleran. Karakter Muslim yang berbeda dengan kawasan lainnya, khususnya Timur-Tengah yang merupakan poros dunia Islam. Namun ada sebagian kecil pesantren dianggap mendorong tumbuhnya chauvinisme keagamaan, mengajarkan penafsiran Islam yang ‘sempit’ dan memberikan kerangka pemikiran dan aksi dalam merespons perubahan sosial-politik yang seringkali berbentuk panggilan ‘jihad’. Artikel ini mencoba mengeksplorasi kontribusi pendidikan Islam dalam perubahan sosial masyarakat Muslim Indonesia.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the curtent debates within theAmerican Muslim community regatding the expression of Muslim religiouscommitment in American life. The size of the community is nowestimated to exceed four million (Stone 1991), and the numlxx of Muslimimmigrants entering the United Stab has more than doubled since 1960.During the same period, the number of American converts to Islam hasalso risen. Both the growth of the Muslim community in mxent yeas, inthe United Stab and worldwide, and the increasing number of Muslimsin "diaspora" as Muslim labor migration continues, which has resulted ina heightened sense of "minority" status among Muslims (Haddad 1991),have raised many crucial questions concerning religious expression:Should Muslims remain marginal to secular power relations in accordancewith the teachings of classical Islam or adopt a strategy of assimilationwhich, in the American context, includes the p d t of claims to equalprotection under civil law? What happens to a religious community, suchas the Muslim community, as it develops the institutional organization itneeds to preserve its identity in a non-Islamic society? Can it still remainopen to the sowe of inspiration and spiritual guidance located in the foldof the Islamic world? Or does the locus of authority shift? Changingcircumstances require adaptation, and yet that adaptation involves the riskof losing the connection to the heatt of the original insight and cultm.Conflicting tesponses to these and related questions raise issues ofself-representation and lifwle. The resulting theological and ideologicaldebates within the Muslim community itself provide and refine variousmodels for Muslim minority life in a non-Islamic envimnment. They alsoillustrate the tension between alienation and integration ...

Despite the dumbing-down of education in recent years, it would be unusual to find a ten-year-old who could not name the major continents on a map of the world. Yet how many adults have the faintest idea of the structures that exist within the Earth? Understandably, knowledge is limited by the fact that the Earth’s interior is less accessible than the surface of Pluto, mapped in 2016 by the NASA New Horizons spacecraft. Indeed, Pluto, 7.5 billion kilometres from Earth, was discovered six years earlier than the similar-sized inner core of our planet. Fortunately, modern seismic techniques enable us to image the mantle right down to the core, while laboratory experiments simulating the pressures and temperatures at great depth, combined with computer modelling of mantle convection, help identify its mineral and chemical composition. The results are providing the most rapid advances in our understanding of how this planet works since the great revolution of the 1960s.

This chapter outlines three examples of how secular theology was put into practice in the 1960s: Nick Stacey’s innovations in the parish of Woolwich; the radicalization of the ‘Parish and People’ organization; and the radicalization of Britain’s Student Christian Movement, which during the 1950s was the largest student religious organization in the country. The chapter argues that secular theology contained an inherent dynamic of ever-increasing radicalization, which irresistibly propelled its adherents from the ecclesiastical radicalism of the early 1960s to the more secular Christian radicalism of the late 1960s. Secular theology promised that the reunification of the church and the world would produce nothing less than the transformative healing of society. As the 1960s went on, this vision pushed radical Christian leaders to sacrifice more and more of their ecclesiastical culture as they pursued their goal of social transformation.
