This essay calls for a new kind of organization for the betterment of our planet, a sort of grassroots fellowship, one of "few officers and many leaders [...] controlled by a motive rather than by a constitution. [...] Its principle of union will be the love of the Earth, treasured in the hearts of men and women."

This article analyses Amina Weira’s Anger in the Wind (2016). It argues that Weira’s documentary tells the story of slowly dying men through an exploration of a failed Anthropocene mediated by subjectivity and memory. Behind an almost casual handling of the camera, Weira casts a keen sympathetic eye on the ‘environmentally embattled’ populations of her native town, Arlit. Anger in the Wind is a documentary of painful, angry, recriminatory words; it tactfully yet pointedly exposes the devastation of the local ecosystems by staging the life stories of men and women who now realize that they were seen as disposable entities, not worthy of a dignified life cycle, fit for sacrifice at the altar of western technological prowess and comfort. As much as a testimony, Anger in the Wind is a Bamako style indictment of a destructive way of inhabiting the earth and a Hyenas’ style call to collective resistance.

The most current challenges faced by Moslem in terms of Islamic religious discourse are religiousinterpretation on gender equality on position men and women. Among long crucial debate related tothe issue is position of men and women in testimony, when the place of two women witnesses whichare conceived equal to one man. It seems an ambivalent takes place regarding Islamic religious interpretationwhen many verses mentioned in the Quran and some hadiths have declared explicitly the sameshared opportunity and capacity as well as mutual relation between men and women as vicegerents(khalifah) of God on the earth, meanwhile in the practice which inherited over centuries demonstratedinequality of men and women. This contrast, however, ultimately indicates a tension between Islamthat ethically egalitarian and historically determined. This article tries to seek an Islamic view of justice onwomen testimony by arguing the importance of contextualizing interpretation by revitalizing appropriatemaxim of Quran exegetes and up grading maqasid studies in order to find a more equal and justreligious interpretation on women in Islam.

This article will decipher a re-reading of the Qur’anic verses on gender equality that arestill understood by gender bias, especially women bias. The authors see that there are still many behaviors and thoughts that lead to gender bias, especially women bias. The re-readings of Islamic doctrines, especially those of the Qur’an and ḥadīth, are important as a counterweight to gender biased understandings, especially those those found in classical religious texts. The conclusions of this article emphasize that Islam recognizes gender equality between men and women, especially in termsof role and public domain. Men and women have the same opportunity and potential as God’s representatives (khalifatullāh) of the earth who govern and manage the earth’s resources. Only spiritual aspects (piety) distinguish them as human beings in the presence of Allah swt.

The concept of gender is a trait that is attached to men and women who are socially and culturally constructed, as women are known to be beautiful, gentle, emotional or motherly, while men are considered strong, rational and virile. All these traits can be exchanged and therefore not natural, but they occur from time to time and from place to place. The method used in this research was qualitative method with content analysis approach. Islamic education does not recognize the sex, it only identifies that as long as the creature is named human it must be given education to achieve the essence and purpose of life that is as a servant of Allah and the caliph in the earth. The authentic basis of Islamic education is the Qur'an and Sunnah Rasulullah SAW. Because the al-Qur'an as the revelation of the deity sent down to his apostle, the great prophet Muhammad, through the mediation of Jibril and is the guidance for man, in it there will be rules and directives to carry out education that is reflected in chapter 30 al-Alaq verses 1-5.

Creation Of Life

Dr. Vandana Shiva explores the sexuality of creation and procreation in a patriarchal age of technology. Her argument is written using unusual depth of social philosophy that seems hard to follow at first. But in essence, her ideas concentrate on the effects of biotechnology and technological development on the roles of men and women vis-a-vis creation of life. She explains that technological and patriarchal colonization of childbirth for women is similar to the colonization of plant regeneration. In other words, medicine and biotechnology are pretending, although implicitly, to replace women, thus, reducing her to a passive carrier of life.

‘Radical alterity is not about exotism and exclusion but about imagination of how to weave different worlds in respect of their singularities always in becoming, how to recreate outsideness in our minds.’ This is what Barbara Glowczewski calls ‘indigenising anthropology’ in this collection of essays that chart her intellectual trajectory as an anthropologist involved since 1979 with Warlpiri people from central Australia and other Indigenous people in the Kimberley and on Palm Island. The book shows how the many ways in which Aboriginal men and women actualise virtualities of their Dreaming totemic space-time into collective networks of ritualised places resonate with some of Deleuze’s and Guattari’s concepts and also with reticular digital memories. It is a tribute to Indigenous cosmovisions and art, as well as the creative affirmation of collective movements in Oceania, in Brazil and France, who struggle to defend existential territories that could restore a multiplicity of commons to heal the earth from past colonisation and present destruction. Glowczewski draws on 40 years of shared experiences with Indigenous peoples, her own conversations with Guattari, her participation in decolonial ecological debates and engagement for an ‘earth in common’ (https://encommun.eco/), to deliver an innovative agenda for radical anthropology which offers new avenues for research on environmental and social justice based on the value of difference and creative resistance.

The Image Of God

“Then God said, ‘Let us make humankind (adam) in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion….’ And God created humankind in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Gen 1:26–27 clarifies that the Hebrew termadamstands for the generic species of humanity which is composed of men and women. If there is any doubt on this interpretation, Gen 5:2–3 declares and defines again: “When God created humankind, he made him in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them humankind when they were created.”The “image of God in man and woman” opens us to transcend both the masculine and feminine metaphors for God which abound in the Bible and to transcend our historical selves and social institutions in recognition of the Holy One. It would appear that whatever one's interpretation of the “image” and “likeness” of God, one would have to recognize that the biblical text makes explicit that in our resemblance to the Divinity and in our dominion over the earth and animals, men and women share a common human dignity.

Different Order

Certain types of chaotic events lure historians and readers. While giving birth is a chaotic, exceptional, creative event it is also a private, universal and prosaic one. While not all women will give birth, all men and women have been born. Wars and natural disasters, however, present a different order of chaos. They are destructive, exceptional and public. Wars and disasters rupture time. What once existed is no more. People die. Mountains collapse. Homes burn. Ships shatter. Villages empty. Residents flee. Roads split. Swamps rise. Forests fall. Some of these events are over in a flash. A dormant fault-line shudders, the earth shakes, buildings crack and crumble and collapse, people are crushed. Others, like wars, go on and on, spreading and intensifying the chaos, knifing time and splitting it apart.

The Relationship

One of the da’wah that is quite intense this time in the media is the da'wah feminist group for gender equality. The main mission of Muslim feminists is to equalize men and women in all matters. To fulfill this mission, they always lay down the basic principles of gender equality taken from the Koran and the hadith, then they will interpret textually. Only after that was reached did they interpret the Koran and the Hadith in accordance with their wishes. If it contradicts the verses that place men and women differently they will usually deny it on the grounds that it conflicts with the principle of gender equality. This study aims to analyze the principles of gender equality in the gender equality da’wah agenda. Methodology of this study was qualitative using document analysis. Data collection was done through library research. The data were analyzed using descriptive, comparative and critique. The findings showed that the feminists made Qur’anic verses as the principles of gender equality. The principles are men and women alike servants, men and women alike caliphs, men and women alike accept the covenant when they are in the womb, Adam and Eve are both engaged in transgression in heaven until had been sent to the earth, men and women equally have potential in every aspect of life. The Qur’anic verses that are made as the basis of the principles of gender equality seem to be over-implemented. The tafsir scholars do not explain the verses in the context of male and female relationships. The implication of this study is that Muslims are encouraged to refer to the interpretation of the authority scholars who have been recognized by the Muslim’s world, therefore is no mistakes in understanding the verses of the Qur’an.  It is also expected to give a real understanding of the relationship between men and women in the Qur’an
