Abstract

This article aimed to offer a closer comprehension concerning Judaism in the work of Abū al-Fath Muhammad ibn ’Abd al-Karīm ibn Ahmad al-Shahrastānī’s (d. 1153) work in the study of religions, al-Milal wa al-Nihal. Employing content and document analysis methods, this research goes over the framework of Comparative Theology, advancing further perspectives and considerations of Islamic-Jewish relations built within medieval Islamic literature. This research concluded that the employment of Comparative Theology as a framework led to an enhancement of reading the content of al-Milal wa al-Nihal¸ involving a novel procedure to develop the dialogue between Islam and other religions through the schema of ‘Commitment’ and ‘Openness.’ With a particular reference to the research question offered, this research was able to grasp a deeper yet broader cognition of the relevance of Comparative Theology as a cutting-edge perspective concerning the discussion of Sēp̄er Yəṣīrā, Tanakh, aséret ha-dvarím, and Joshua continued leadership in Judaism about Islam, which, as such, provided an extensive discussion of the study of Islam and Other Religions, particularly on Jews-Islam theological encounters.

Abstract

Asceticism, which is often identified as the act of mortification, is an attempt by a Christian to achieve Christlike perfection. In this act of asceticism, they are willing to abandon worldly pleasures and continue to strive for perfection. Asceticism is often associated with monastic practices to evoke behaviors or attitudes such as maintaining speech, restraining the soul, lack of food, seclusion, and limiting needs. The philosophy of contemporary asceticism is more dominant than the application of Max Weber's theory. The purpose of Asceticism was used by Weber as a potential transformation toward the "empowerment of monastic power". Lastly, Weber created Protestant asceticism and monastic revival. Weber drew asceticism from religious discussions of a realistic asceticism, derived from metaphysition. Max Weber's perspective on asceticism, is continuous with the education applied at Satya Wacana Christian University. This type of research is a literature review, the type of data collection is qualitative research, the research method is the study of Max Weber's thought figure, and the data analysis technique uses observation, interviews, and documentation. The result of this research is an indicator of one's success in religion depends on one's success in life in the world. This research uses a qualitative approach, with data processing focused on literature and observation.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and interpret the meaning of Pentecost by considering its historical, theological, and spiritual contexts. It employs a theological approach, qualitative research methods, and textual analysis to examine the relationship between symbolism and meaning in the celebration of Pentecost. The study shows that the meaning of Pentecost differs between the Old and New Testaments, reflecting a transition from an agrarian ritual to a profound spiritual experience in which the Holy Spirit actively participates in the lives of believers. Overall, Pentecost reflects the development of Christian faith from a traditional agrarian context to a more complex spiritual understanding of God's presence through the Holy Spirit. Thus, Pentecost is not only a historical celebration but also a theological statement about God's presence in the lives of His people.

Abstract

This article talks about orientalism. Orientalism is a scientific tradition and discipline that examines all matters relating to the East from a Western perspective. Unfortunately, the Western perspective and framework that is superior to the inferior East influences most of the results of the study. The author uses the criticism of Maryam Jameelah and Edward Said in seeing how Orientalism works. Both figures were chosen because of their unique religious, ethnic and racial background. Both have felt the atmosphere of life in the East (Palestine and Pakistan) and also in the West (America). Therefore, they are expected to be able to provide comments and views related to how Orientalism works. At the end, the author lists the attitude of the East man in addressing the results of the study of the orientalists, namely with a critical receptive attitude and not trapped with a receptive and rejective attitude through all results of study.

Abstract

“Ahl al-kitâb” in some opinions of theologian was term for Jews and Christians. In some opinions of theologian, they had been polytheistic and infidel, because they had denied the apostolate of the prophet Muhammad PBUH and the Holy Qur’an. However, Muhammad Rasyid Ridha in the interpretation of al-Manar argued that they were not polytheists. With different views of interpretation about the faith from ahl al- al-kitâb, certainly that will give rise to have implication for social relations with muslims, especially in the slaugter dish, marriage, and a leader. This research was compiled with documentation data collection method. Data that had been obtained and then analyzed with an interpretation science approach. Therefore, in this research it can be concluded that the form of social life interaction from ahl al- al-kitâb with muslims that was slaughter, marriage and make them become leaders. Thus, Muhammad Rasyid Ridha in al-Mannâr argues that ahl al-kitâb were not polystheists, but the mean of polytheists was Arab polytheism, because they did not have aposthes and scripture as a guide. therefore in the case of eating slaughter and marrying women, ahl al-kitâb allowed. However, Rasyid Rida give a forbided and rejected them become a leader.

Abstract

Background; Modern society is increasingly characterized by materialism and consumerism, which often lead to a spiritual crisis and a loss of meaning in life. In response, Buddhist asceticism and Islamic zuhud are often proposed as ethical alternatives. However, both are frequently misunderstood as purely anti-worldly or escapist doctrines. Objectives: This study aims to analyze and compare the conceptual and philosophical foundations, as well as the ethical and social implications, of asceticism in Buddhism and zuhud in Islam. Method: It employs a qualitative library research method with a comparative-analytical approach, examining primary scriptures and relevant academic literature.Result: The findings show that although both traditions emphasize self-control, they differ in their ontological foundations. Buddhist asceticism represents a non-theistic path toward liberation from suffering (dukkha). In contrast, Islamic zuhud is a theocentric practice that prioritizes the hereafter without neglecting worldly responsibilities.In practice, Buddhist asceticism tends to be institutionalized within monastic life, whereas zuhud functions as a flexible inner attitude applicable across social roles.Conclusion: This study concludes that both concepts offer a corrective framework against modern materialism and provide spiritual pathways toward a balanced and meaningful life.Implication: These findings contribute to interfaith dialogue and deepen the understanding of comparative spirituality.
