Abstract

Dialogue between religion and science is a necessity, because both of them can mutually reinforce the sources of Islamic law. The astronomical approach in the study of hadith makes a significant contribution to the development of astronomy. This article aims to examine the thoughts of an Indonesian Muslim scholar, namely Syamsul Anwar, who offers the concept of the interconnection of astronomy with hadith (especially astronomical hadith). This type of research is a literature by conducting a descriptive analysis of Syamsul Anwar's thoughts. The results of the study show that his contribution to the study of astronomy through an astronomical approach is able to strengthen understanding of the position of a hadith not only from a shari'ah perspective but at the same time being able to explain the meaning of a text using scientific principles (science). The study shows the importance of contextualization and interconnection between Islamic scholarship and other scientific fields. Thus, the efforts that have been made by Syamsul Anwar further strengthen the importance of dialogue between religion and science

Abstract

The dynamics surrounding the determination of the beginning of the Hijri calendar remain a persistent and relevant issue within the Indonesian Muslim community. One notable example is the public resistance that emerged in response to the government’s decision regarding 1 Shawwal, which was perceived to neglect input from various stakeholders. This study aims to explore the forms of resistance and identify the underlying factors contributing to this phenomenon. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected from online news sources and other relevant materials, then categorized and analyzed. The findings reveal that resistance occurs not only at the organizational and group levels but also at the individual level. Furthermore, the study highlights that an individual's level of literacy and mastery of scientific knowledge significantly influences their understanding and acceptance of the calendar decision. By applying Social Representation Theory, this study offers a novel contribution to the literature by shifting the focus from legal-astronomical debates to the sociocultural meanings and identities that shape public responses. This perspective fills a gap in previous studies and provides a more holistic understanding of calendar-related conflicts. The study recommends a more extensive public education effort by the government, including the integration of related knowledge into formal school curricula, as a strategic investment for fostering greater social harmony in the future.

Abstract

Turkey has a long history in the study of the Islamic Calendar. Since the arrival of Islam in Turkey, the Islamic Calendar has been the main reference in the administration of the kingdom for hundreds of years. Furthermore, the kingdom also paid special attention to developing the Istanbul Observatory, which was considered the most sophisticated observatory at that time, to support the implementation of the early determination of the Hijri month using the observation (rukyat) method. For hundreds of years running, the use of the Hijri calendar then began to be shifted by the Gregorian Calendar System along with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. In addition to changing the calendar system, Mustafa Kemal Attaturk also changed the method of determining the beginning of the month from observation (rukyat) to calculation (hisab). Although it has undergone many changes since the birth of the Republic of Turkey, the Turkish government's attention to the Islamic Calendar still continuing. After successfully holding the International Hijri Calendar Unification conference in 1978, in 2016 Turkey also held the same event and introduced the 2016 Turkish criteria. Then, this criterion becomes a reference for several countries in determining the beginning of the Hijri month. Despite getting a lot of criticism regarding the 2016 Turkey Criteria, we need to give appreciation to Turkey for its active role in the development of the Global Islamic calendar discourse.

Abstract

The integration between science and religion in determining prayer times is one of the efforts of astronomers to understand the Qur'an and at the same time deepen scientific knowledge. This makes Muslims aware of the importance of studying religious knowledge and general knowledge at the same time. This research is library research. By using references from previous studies, this study covers how prayer times are from an astronomical perspective. Determination of prayer times from an astronomical perspective always pays attention to the star's arguments that have been determined. The explanation of prayer times in the Qur'an and hadith needs to be redefined through the science of astronomy so that the integration between sciences can be clearly described.
