Paper ini adalah archival research dengan content analysis sebagai metodenya yang bertujuan untuk menjelaskan dinamika yang terjadi pada kriteria penentuan awal bulan qamariah penanggalan Umm al-Qura Saudi Arabia. Berdasarkan data-data baik yang berupa dokumen atau tulisan anggota komisi supervisor penanggalan Umm al-Qura' dan korespondensi yang dilakukan dengan informan kunci, ditemukan bahwa: Pertama, dinamika kriteria penentuan awal bulan qamariah dalam penanggalan Umm al-Qura' merupakan produk dialog antar tiga kepentingan, yaitu: 1) kepentingan modernisasi birokrasi pemerintahan yang diwakili oleh kerajaan, 2) kepentingan syariat yang diwakili oleh ulama yang berbasis rukyat murni, dan 3) kepentingan ilmiah-astronomis yang diwakili oleh ilmuan di KACST. Dialog antar tiga kepentingan tersebut tidak terjadi sebelum 1393 H karena penanggalan Umm al-Qura' sebelum tahun tersebut merupakan penanggalan bulanan dengan kriteria rukyat. Pasca oil booming dan modernisasi birokrasi pemerintahan, penanggalan berbasis rukyat tidak lagi memadahi. Pemerintah Saudi Arabia membutuhkan sistem organisasi waktu jangka panjang berbasis tahunan. Persoalan ini membawa penanggalan Umm al-Qura' harus merubah kriterianya dari rukyat kepada kriteria hisab astronomis. Dialog antar tiga kepentingan di atas mulai muncul pada 1393 H, ketika Fad}l Ahmad diminta oleh pemerintah Saudi Arabia mengkompilasi penanggalan Umm al-Qura' untuk beberapa tahun ke depan. Fadl Ahmad sebagai seorang astronom menawarkan konjungsi sebelum pukul 00:00 GMT berbasis Universal Time (UT). Pada saat itu, kriteria tawaran Fadl Ahmad bisa diterima oleh para ulama, namun hanya sementara, karena pada tahun 1422 H kriteria penanggalan Umm al-Qura' diganti dengan Moonset after Sunset di Mekah. Ulama menolak dengan tegas penggunaan waktu UT (00:00 GMT) yang mereka anggap sebagai sistem waktu orang kafir, mereka menginginkan waktu Islam, maka waktu Mekah (zona +3) dijadikan sebagai referensinya. Kriteria konjungsi juga diganti karena seringkali hilal baru terlihat satu atau dua hari setelah tanggal yang ditentukan pada penanggalan Umm al-Qura'. Ketidaksinkronan antara penanggalan Umm al-Qura' pada periode kedua ini dengan praktek rukyat di Saudi juga menjadi dasar perubahan tersebut. Pada tahun 1423 H, kriteria penanggalan Umm al-Qura' mengalami perubahan lagi. Konjungsi yang pada periode ketiga (1420 H-1422H) dihilangkan, digunakan lagi. Kriteria penanggalan Umm al-Qura' pada periode ini terdiri dari dua parameter astronomis yaitu konjungsi sebelum Magrib dan Moonset after Sunset di Mekah. Kriteria ini sering disebut dengan wila>dah al-hilal syar’iyyan. Kedua, astronom dalam keanggotaan komisioner memegang peran penting dalam rumusan kriteria penentuan awal bulan dalam penanggalan Umm al-Qura' dalam setiap periode perkembangannya.

[TAFSEER LEARNING METHODS IN 'ULUM AL-QUR'AN BASED SCHOOL]. This paper is aimed to respond to the lack of formulation of tafsir learning methods at schools. This study shows that the learning method with the basis of Ulum al-Qur’an consists of three aspects, i.e. the foundation, learning material, and method. The foundation of tafsir learning comprises three elements; it must be based on the function of the Qur'an, gradual, and not burdensome. Then, the learning materials of tafsir can use the stories contained in the Qur'an, asbab al-nuzul (reason of revelation), and the main themes of the Qur'an. Meanwhile, the tafsir learning process uses the ijmali method. This is a library based study with data sources from books, especially ‘Ulum al-Qur'an Mabahits fi 'Ulum al-Qur'an by Manna' al-Qathan, 'Ulum al-Qur'an by Nuruddin' Itr, Kaidah Tafsir by M. Quraish Shihab, and Membumikan Ulumul Qur’an by Ahsin Sakho Muhammad as well as research results in the form of journals and others in the field of education. In the process, this study uses a descriptive-analytical method with a content analysis approach and contextual interpretation.

This paper examines the influence of capitalism and globalisation on the role of Shariah-Compliant Investment Funds (SCIFs) in promoting social justice in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) using content analysis method. This is to analyse the Terms and Conditions (T&C) of SCIFs as they appear in Tadawul (Saudi stock market) in 2019 and compared with the findings in 2013. This research critically evaluates the findings of the content analysis through aspects of globalization and insights from the literature review. The content analysis shows that SCIFs in KSA are disjointed and decoupled from Islamic principles and do not fulfil the ideal social justice role in society.

As refugee flows have increased, western attitudes towards them have become conflicted. Attitudes towards refugees in non-western and in Muslim nations are rarely studied, though these nations accept most refugees. This study of attitudes towards refugees among tertiary students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Lebanon, Russia and Kyrgyzstan used Appraisal and content analysis frequencies and co-frequencies. Results showed that the Lebanese realised greater affect, possibly due to their experience of refugees. More generally, nationality shaped attitudes more than religion, tertiary students favour technocratic solutions by government actors despite realistically estimating the challenge, and while students critically analyse the problems created by refugee inflows, they retain a nativist stance and seem unaware of the optics and politics of this stance.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine official healthcare informatics applications in Saudi Arabia in the context of their role in addressing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Methods: This is a case study of official healthcare informatics programs and applications (apps) developed in Saudi Arabia before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The qualitative content analysis (QCA) method was used. Data collection consisted of two components: a desktop review of documents and actual testing of the programs. According to the QCA method, we developed a matrix for abstracting information on different apps and programs in order to categorize the data. The compilation of information and discussion were based on information summarized in the matrix.Results: Six apps in total were developed before the COVID-19 pandemic. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, three of the apps, SEHA, Mawid, and Sehaty were modified to address different aspects of the pandemic. Both SEHA and Mawid included information about COVID-19 awareness. During the COVID-19 pandemic, three official apps were developed: Tawakkalna, Tetamman, and Tabaud. The Tawakkalna app is mandatory for all citizens and residents to activate when visiting stores and institutions. It has a wide range of COVID-19 and other health-related functions. The Tetamman app provides COVID-19 test results and allows one to check his or her daily symptoms. It also has an educational content library and provides alerts. The Tabaud app notifies individuals if they have been exposed to COVID-19. The features, advantages, and disadvantages of all of the apps were examined.Conclusions: Overall, there were more strengths than shortcomings in the role played by healthcare informatics in the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia.
