Our remarks are based on two works by Abu l-Hasan Ali Nadawi (d. 1999), a well known scholar of Arabic language, Islamic culture and da’wah.  The first work is Tarikh-i-Da’wat wa ‘Azimat, originally written in Urdu then rendered into Arabic as “Rijal al-Fikr wa al-Da’wah fi al-Islam” and into English as “Saviours of the Islamic Spirit”. The second work is Islam and the World: Rise and Decline of Muslims and its Effect on Mankind. We shall briefly present Nadawi’s theory of renewal, his approach to understanding the contributions of Islamic scholars, leaders, and Sufi shaykhs in this field, as well as his identification of the causes which have brought about the decline of Muslim civilisation.

It is not always true that the Arabic language contains absolute gender bias since in fact, the balaghah study has discovered that it respects and upholds women’s dignity for sure. Na’nak confirms this in his book ‘ Al Manar Fi Ulumil Balaghah which precisely describes Arabic as a language that upholds women’s dignity instead of being rooted on gender bias. Every ‘plural’ word is mu’annast, all objects in our galaxy is mu’annast majazy and there is shurah An Nisa’ in Holy Qur’an. We must be proud of Arabic because it is used as the official language of 22 countries of Arabic Nation League, which play essential role in Moslems’ lives throughout the world who speak around 150 millions local languages in western Asia and Nothern Africa. Under the Islan influence, this language colors the languages of Persia, Turkey, Urdu, Malay, Hausa, and Swahili. Arabic contributes 40-60 percent of vocabulary into these languages, and a strong influence on their syntax, nahwu, and literary works. Arabic is spoken as the religious language of Moslems in the world as well as the language of Islamic law. Finally, this language is of Islamic culture taught throughout thousands of schools outside the Arabic world, from Sinegal through Philipines. It is used as a language of learning, literature, and thoughts in history, ethics, law, fiqh, theology, and Islamic book study.

Abstract This research is about "similarities and differences between Arabic and Indonesian in the phenomenon of tandem - and how to deal with this phenomenon in teaching Arabic to Indonesians." The importance of Arabic is also reflected in the fact that is the key of Islamic and Arab culture. It allows learner to learn about the cultural and intellectual dimensions of a nation that has been crowned on the throne for centuries. It has left a great cultural heritage in various arts and sciences.The importance of Arabic stems from the fact that it is one of the strongest links and links between Muslims. Language is one of the most important elements of unity among Islamic societies. Arabic is no longer a language specific to Arabians, but has become a universal language for millions of Muslims in the world today demand for their connection to their religion and Islamic culture. We also see a desire to learn the arabic language for non-Muslims to communicate with the people of the language on the one hand and to communicate with the Arab and Islamic heritage on the other.Features of Arabic Tandem. It is an important factor in the growth of language, two words or more that indicate one meaning. We can use it without separating them. The speaker observes the exact order in the choice of the word of the synonyms corresponding to the sentence.It is interesting that Arabic is the only language that gives citizenship to anyone who speaks it. "Whoever learns Arabic is an Arabian."There is almost unanimous agreement that tandem is one of the reasons for the richness of language in vocabulary, whether it is Arabic, Indonesian, or other languages. And its privilege with a wealth of words. There have been many works that collected the vocabulary of this phenomenon in the ancients in particular, which reinforces this statement to the extent that it is surprising, such as the names of one thing to thousands of words.

Temür has been many things to many people. He was nomad and city-builder, Turk and promoter of Persian culture, restorer of the Mongol order and warrior for the spread of Islam. One thing he was to all: a conqueror of unequalled scope, able to subdue both the vast areas of nomad power to the north and the centres of agrarian Islamic culture to the south. The history of his successors was one of increasing political fragmentation and economic stress. Yet they too won fame, as patrons over a period of brilliant cultural achievement in Persian and Turkic. Temür's career raises a number of questions. Why did he find it necessary to pile conquest upon conquest, each more ambitious than the last? Having conceived dreams of dominion, where did he get the power and money to fulfill them? When he died, what legacy did Temür leave to his successors and to the world which they tried to control? Finally, what was this world of Turk and Persian, and where did Temür and the Timurids belong within it?

<p>This article seeks to find out the intersection between scientific approach and Islamic religious education as a subject matter. The scientific approach adopts scientific steps in building scientific knowledge, i.e. such featuring dimensions as observation, reasoning, inquiry, validation anD and description of scientific truth. Since the scientific approach is regarded as too empirical, rational and logical. In Cartesian sense, it contradicts the logical structure of the subject of Islamic religious education. Five aspects of Islamic religious education (the Qur’ân, Hadîth, Aqîdah Akhlaq, Fiqh, history of Islamic culture, and Arabic language) have different characteristics, even demand a non-scientific logics such as intuition and revelation. Aqîdah (belief), for example, which consists of the doctrine of monotheism (<em>tawh</em><em></em><em>id</em>) is difficult to be scrutinized through empirical evidence. There are some other examples in this field which are difficult to be analyzed by means of scientific approach. Through library research, this article nevertheless finds that the logic of scientific approach and Islamic religious education can be integrated, since revelation and reason are mutually supportive.</p>

The article dwells upon connection between the two most important Kyrgyz traditions: shamanism ( bakshylyk ) and storytelling ( zhomokchuluk ). It considers the general cultural and social field that forms some features that are characteristic of both shamans and storytellers, as well as the traces of pre-Islamic culture that can be found in the world of the Kyrgyz epic. Special attention is paid to the post-folklor version of the epic “Manas” – the dastan “Aykol Manas” and the public discussion around that literary work. The discussion reflects, on the one hand, specific aspects of the understanding of the Kyrgyz epic tradition, and on the other hand, a number of characteristic features that accompany modern transformations of Kyrgyz shamanism.
