<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>The existence of different religious identities in various forms in Islamic world is a legacy that Islamic history leaves to the contemporary societies. In other words, these religious identities cause the problem of living together of different religious groups in Islamic societies, but they can also lead to the problem of ‘othering’ as well. In this case, it can be difficult to make social reconciliation and live together in the framework of general religious values. When any religious thought and opinion desires to come to a leading position to feel safe, other thoughts and opinions tend to react to it. The main problem at that point seems to be whether to accept different thoughts as a richness or not.</p><p>This research looks for answers to the question of what should be done so that the differences that sects and groups in Islamic societies create, do not lead to political discrepancies. The most basic issue that the work is emphasize is that the principles of belief, deed and morality of Islamic religion has been determined by revelation, and these principles have not changed over time. However, the relations between these principles, the issue of which principle is ahead of the other and which principles should be brought forward in the new situations have caused to raise different opinions and the predecessor scholars (Salaf) propounded diverse ideas and thoughts to this issue. In later periods, different interpretations were added due to new events happening indoors and new beliefs and cultures encountered outside, and so new trends and understandings emerged. The currents and understandings generated by the mentioned interpretations continue their existence today in different forms and even new currents can occur. This work also emphasizes that these differences of interpretation -on the condition that the religious constancies do not move from place- should be accepted as wealth and should not lead to political separation in this way. For this, we underlined the need to live together around general religious values by emphasizing the fact that different religious groups must live together. In the work it is alleged that the lifestyle of the Sufi tradition can help us on this subject.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>İslam dünyasında farklı dinî kimliklerin çeşitli şekillerde varlığı, İslam tarihinin günümüz toplumlarına bıraktığı bir mirastır. Söz konusu bu kimlikler İslam toplumlarında farklı dinî grupların bir arada yaşama problemini doğurmakta fakat ‘ötekileştirme’ sorununa da yol açabilmektedir. Bu durumda toplumsal uzlaşma sağlanması ve genel dinî değerler çerçevesinde bir arada yaşanması zorlaşabilmektedir. Herhangi bir dinî düşünce ve görüş kendini güvencede hissetmek amacıyla hâkim konuma gelmeyi arzu edince, diğer düşünce ve görüşler buna karşı reaksiyon gösterme eğilimi içerisine girebilmektedir.</p><p>Bu çalışmada İslam toplumlarında mevcut olan mezhep ve grupların ortaya çıkardığı farklılıkların siyasal anlamda krize yol açmaması için neler yapılması gerektiği sorusuna cevap aranmaktadır. Üzerinde durulan en temel konu, İslam dininin inanç, amel ve ahlak esaslarının vahiyle belirlenmiş olması ve bu esasların zamanla değişime uğramayışı gerçeğidir. Fakat bu esaslar arasındaki ilişkiler, hangi esasın diğerinden daha önde olması meselesi ve yeni karşılaşılan durumlarda hangi prensiplerin öne çıkarılması gerektiği konusunda farklı görüşler ortaya atılmış ve ilk dönem selef âlimleri bu hususta farklı fikir ve düşünceler serdetmişlerdir. Daha sonraki dönemlerde, içeride yaşanan yeni olaylar ve dışarıda karşılaşılan yeni inanç ve kültürler nedeniyle farklı yorumlar eklenmiş ve böylece yeni akım ve anlayışlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Söz konusu yorumların oluşturduğu akım ve anlayışlar günümüzde de farklı şekillerde varlığını devam ettirmekte ve hatta yeni akımlar bile oluşabilmektedir. Bu çalışmamızda, yorum farklılıklarının –dinî sâbiteleri yerinden oynatmamak kaydıyla– zenginlik kabul edilmesi ve bu şekilde siyasal ayrıma yol açmaması gerektiğinin altını çizdik. Bunun için farklı dinî grupların birlikte yaşama zorunluluğu gerçeği vurgulanarak, genel dinî değerler etrafında birlikte yaşamanın gerekliliği dile getirilmiştir. Bu konuda sûfî geleneğin yaşam tarzından istifade edilebileceği de özellikle vurgulanmıştır.</p>

<p>This study investigates Indonesian secondary school teachers’ and students’ perceptions of citizenship, religion and religious tolerance. It explores how participants negotiate their citizenship and religious identities, and looks at how religious tolerance is understood and defined. The study involves religious education and citizenship teachers (n=8) and students (n=20) from three different schools in Jakarta, Indonesia. The schools were purposely selected to represent a range of philosophical approaches to religion and included a Madrasah, a private school and a public school. This study discovered that both teachers and students intertwined their religious and citizenship identities to produce a form of ‘religious citizenship’. The study also found that both teachers and students generally saw religious tolerance as a necessity to manage inter-religious relations. Many of the strategies teachers employed, which were also supported by curriculum documents, overlooked the complexity of inter-religious identities and in particular, the equality of minority religious groups. Most teachers perceived religious tolerance through an exclusivist view whereby religious tolerance was limited to social tolerance, while many student participants provided more progressive and inclusive definitions of religious tolerance that often reflected their lived experiences of engaging in inter-religious relations. In conclusion, the study argues that both teachers and students constantly negotiate their citizenship and religious identities in order to find ways to live together in a religiously plural society such as Indonesia. While students and teachers in this study agreed that finding ways to promote and sustain inter-religious harmony in Indonesia was a high priority, many challenges relating to the teaching and practice of religious tolerance in Indonesia still remain.</p>

At times in history, groups of people with very different ideologies have allied with one another because of a common threat. The most striking example of this was the World War II alliance of the United States and the Soviet Union. In a religious matter, Baptists and other free-church evangelicals in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries joined with deists like Thomas Jefferson to combat the threat to religious liberty posed by the establishment of religion. At other times, groups with similar ideas have been unable to come together because they did not share similar attitudes toward or positions within their cultures. This essay is concerned with the latter phenomenon and uses Southern Baptists and northern evangelicals as a case study. The historical relationship of these two groups illustrates something profound about the very nature of religious alliances; specifically, it illustrates how cultural factors and intuitive notions of uneasiness about theological security determine whether or not religious groups with great theological similarities can find common ground.

Islamic religion has been taking good care of political issues as well as other issues. Therefore, we can find verses in Quran about governance, judiciary and peace, with other verses about prayers, zakat and decency. All those verses can be linked together with one common link, true devotion to Almighty Allah, unity in accepting everything from Him, a righteous attemption to build life according to the best standard, similar to what have been prepared to our hereafter and for meeting our Lord. There are many verses in Quran about governance and succession, as well as managing people justly. Political sides of Islamic nation in the modern era are imponderable between push and pull, and between bickering and hypocritical. It has been identified that the moderation, balance and moderation of what Allah intended to have been lost. Hence, examples of cooperation between the ruler and the rule in Islamic history that embodied three case: 1. moderation and balance, 2. flattery and adulation, and 3. resistance and brawl. These are the major problem statement for this paper. This paper focuses on bringing back all muslims to the moderate model of politic that has been prescribed and legislated by Islamic teachings. Political issues such as the responsibilities of the ruler and his specifications, as well as the responsibilities of the followers and their obeyance, are described in this paper according to Quranic verses, Prophet's traditions, and traditions of the first three centuries of this Islamic nation, as these sources contributed to the real understanding of Islamic teaching.

Linking concepts from networks, identities, and ecology, I draw on material collected during sixty interviews to show how a group of culturally homogeneous Chinese graduate students, when placed in two sociocultural environments in the United States, displayed different processes of religious identity network formation. In a large and heterogeneous community with more possible identities, students showed human agency by forming religious identities less constrained by networks. Human agency is also exemplified in the expansion of their religious circle of friends once they developed a religious identity. Religious identity often preceded networks. However, in a small and homogeneous community, students did emotion work to stay in pro-religious groups, presumably due to the limitations they had in choosing friends, particularly Chinese friends. The formation of networks more likely preceded the emergence of religious identities premised on the coexistence of multiple relationships in dyads and solidarity within primary groups. The narratives demonstrate how ecology matters for the formation of network ties and religious identity. 根据对60个对硕士博士研究生的采访，通过运用网络分析、身份研究、和环境研究领域的概念，本文详述同属一个文化的中国留学生当处于美国两个不同城市文化环境中时，通过生活圈子发展特定身份的不同过程。在一个大型、充满差异的城市里，留学生的身份选择具有多样性。其主体性表现在自主选择宗教认同并扩大有宗教信仰的朋友圈子。他们的宗教认同常常先于他们的宗教朋友圈。而在一个小型、倡导同化的城市里，由于可选择的中国朋友人数少，留学生常常通过控制自我感情来维系与亲宗教的朋友的关系。他们的宗教网络常常先于他们的宗教认同。在这种环境中，当两人有多重社会关系，并处于一个高度团结的小群体中时，宗教认同才得以传播。本研究显示社区规模和文化是重要的影响身份和社会网络的环境因素。 (This article is in English.)

Evolutionary theory was not passively accepted but actively interpreted, constructed, and used over the course of a century. In pre-war Japan evolutionary theory and religion clashed mainly for political reasons. But overall religious thought and evolutionary theory mutually stimulated each other. Throughout Japanese modern history, religious thinkers tried to come to terms with evolution while rejecting materialist and individualist interpretations of nature, and find alternatives to the "struggle for survival" by finding the divine in nature and evolution itself.

The objectives of national education are realizing the fair and prosper society in term of material and spiritual based on the value of Pancasila, in which the main point is developing Indonesian citizens wholly. One of the most important components of Indonesian citizens is children, because they are the owner of the nation’s future. Thus, it could be said that the implantation of self-concept, moral, and religious values should be started earlier, so that it would be strongly implanted on Indonesian children. One of the methods is storytelling with woman heroes and public figures, whether they are from Indonesia or Islamic history. The consideration in choosing the woman heroes and public figures is as a form of moral education, introducing Islamic religious values, as well as gender education on children. This becomes important because of Indonesian’s social life which is full of various religions, cultures, tribes, race or ethnics, social status and others. The storytelling process as a form of learning media is expected to be applied in kindergarten (TK), Islamic Kindergarten (RA), or elementary school           Keywords: storytelling, character education, children, moral education, gender education
