Abstract

The Rohingya refugee crisis has spurred the formation of community-based organizations (CBOs) among Muslim Rohingya refugees in Malaysia. This qualitative research explores the role and impact of these organizations within the refugee community. By employing a mixed-methods approach, including semi-structured interviews and content analysis, the study delves into the motivations, activities, challenges, and outcomes of Rohingya CBOs. The findings suggest that these CBOs play a critical role in bridging the gap between formal assistance and the unique needs of the Rohingya population in Malaysia. They offer vital services, foster a sense of belonging, and contribute to mental well-being. However, challenges related to resources and sustainability are apparent. This research contributes to a better understanding of refugee agencies and grassroots initiatives. It sheds light on the significance of CBOs as agents of change, amplifying the voices and actions of refugees themselves. The study's findings show that both policy and practice support and empower refugee communities.

Abstract

In reality, the Muslim population in Western countries is increasing significantly every year. By 2030, it is projected that the world's Muslim population will reach 2.2 billion with a growth rate of 24.9%. Muslims living in Western countries live their lives as a minority group, they are faced with various complex challenges, ranging from worship issues, and muamalah, to marriage issues. This paper aims to examine the development, challenges, and problems faced by Muslim minorities living in Western countries, and how fiqh responds in providing solutions to all issues faced by Muslim minorities living in non-Muslim majority areas. This research method uses normative legal research, namely legal research that focuses on analyzing the text of laws and regulations, legal decisions, or other legal sources. The primary data is taken from classical and contemporary books, books, and reputable journals that discuss the problems of Muslim minorities in non-Muslim majority countries. The results of this study show that the presence of Muslims in Western countries poses a major challenge, namely changing the negative views of Western countries towards Islam which is considered an extreme and terrorist religion. Four serious issues are often faced by Muslim minorities: eating food slaughtered by non-Muslims, receiving inheritance from non-Muslims, marital relations between people of different religions, and wishing non-Muslims happy holidays. Although there is still debate among scholars regarding the issue of 'food from non-Muslim slaughter', they choose not to allow consuming food from non-Muslims based on the rule of shad al-zari'ah (closing opportunities). Apart from this, in the context of citizenship, Muslim minorities have six obligations towards the state, namely preaching, implementing basic religious laws, maintaining Islamic law, assisting the development of the state, establishing good relations between communities, and not rebelling against the state.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the thoughts of contemporary Muslim scholars who offer a contextual approach to understanding the Qur'anic text and the theoretical relationship of each of these figures' thoughts and their application in Q.S. al-Maidah: 38. Some of the statistics discussed in this study include: Fazlur Rahman, Abdullah Saeed, Khaled Aboe El-Fadl, and M. Amin Abdullah. The selection of these four figures was based on the strength of their thinking in understanding the contextual nature of the Qur'an and their influence on other contemporary Muslim scholars, both in Indonesian Islamic universities and in different countries. By formulating the thoughts of these four figures, a moderate contemporary interpretation of Islamic law will be formed, and laws that are relevant to the realities of the times will be formulated. This research uses a literature approach by reviewing literature journals and contemporary tafsir books. The primary data of this research are books and journals that are the thoughts of the four figures, especially those that discuss the hermeneutics of the Qur'an in the renewal of Islamic studies. This research concludes that the contemporary interpretations of the four figures have similarities in seeing the social realities that occur and their theories are interconnected with each other. Fazlur Rahman's double movement theory plays a role in seeing Khaled Aboe El-Fadl's theory's relationship between author, text, and reader. Abdullah Saeed's hierarchy of values theory plays a role in mapping the text. The three-element theory (text, reality, insight) of M. Amin Abdullah serves as a measure of a reader's insight in analyzing the text and connecting it with the reality that occurs. According to them, the punishment for cutting hands contained in Q.S. al-Maidah: 38 can be replaced with imprisonment or a heavy fine. This is because the punishment of cutting hands is no longer by the current social reality, considered inhumane, and contrary to humanity. This research remains theoretical in nature. Future studies may apply the proposed contextual framework to other Qur'anic themes, such as socio-legal or ethical issues, to test its broader applicability.
