Abstract

The calculation of prayer times in Bali and Banyuwangi Regency often needs to be clarified. Hasib suggests Bali's prayer time calculations could refer to those in Banyuwangi due to their close astronomical coordinates. While Bali uses the Central Indonesian Time Zone (WITA, GMT+8), Banyuwangi adopts the Western Indonesian Time Zone (WIB, GMT+7). This discrepancy arises despite the proximity of their locations, reflecting government decisions based on international considerations, especially after Bali was reassigned from WIB to WITA through Presidential Decree No. 41 of 1987. This library research uses qualitative methods such as documentation and descriptive analysis. It shows that the differences in prayer time calculations between Bali and Banyuwangi are minimal, often just a matter of seconds, mainly if there is an error in inputting Ephemeris data. However, such errors have no significant impact as long as the date remains consistent and time zone corrections adhere to official regulations.

Abstract

This article analyzes changes in the reference system of the Jewish Calendar. Initially, the Jewish Calendar reference was based on the movement of the Sun. However, the calendar system used by the Jewish community worldwide now refers to two celestial objects, the Sun and the Moon. This study is literature research with a qualitative approach and uses the Book of Enoch and the Sefer Yetzirah as primary sources. The authors found that the first reference system of the Jewish Calendar, which was based on the movement of the Sun (Solar), follows the description in the Book of Enoch and the Sefer Yetzirah. These two books explain the calendar system used by Prophet Idris to Prophet Moses. The Solar Calendar reference system was later replaced with the Lunar Calendar in the second century BCE. Six centuries later, the Jewish Calendar returned to using a Solar Calendar combined with the Lunar Calendar, known as the Lunisolar Calendar. The latest reference system is a mathematical calendar with the Metonic cycle that refers to the movement of the Sun and Moon. The authors argue that the influence of the Greek civilization and the adjustment of the difference between the Lunar and Solar Year caused the changes in the reference system of the Jewish Calendar.

Abstract: The Book of Enoch presents an explanation of Moon in a different way when compared to many ancient manuscripts. The periods of the Moon associated with the Moon phases are illustrated in a unique way that, in first glance, requires a deep understanding. This explanation is different with what science has explained nowadays. To begin with, the previous research of this subject on the Book of Enoch is out to dated. Therefore, this research conducts a new approach to examine the Book of Enoch using Islamic perspective where this study is rare to conduct. This study utilizes qualitative research with content analysis to gain the answer in depth. This research also uses triangulation method to investigate the data and obtain the validity of the results. Overall, the Moon phase in the Book of Enoch has the same understanding as the modern science. The Book of Enoch describes implicitly the appearance of Moon in the northern hemisphere. The explanation of Enoch lunar-day in each month is followed by the Urfi Islamic calendar. Then the statement about “once the month is 28-day” is based on the using of Callippic cycle in Charles opinion while in the author’s opinion that the Book of Enoch shows the sidereal month cycle. In addition, the theory which has been adopted by Islamic astronomy has a strong relationship with this manuscript since it is believed that this manuscript is attributed to Prophet Enoch or Idris. Abstrak: Kitab Henokh menyajikan penjelasan tentang Bulan dengan cara yang berbeda jika dibandingkan dengan banyak naskah kuno. Periode Bulan yang terkait dengan fase Bulan diilustrasikan dengan cara yang unik sehingga sekilas memerlukan pemahaman yang mendalam. Penjelasan ini berbeda dengan penjelasan ilmu pengetahuan saat ini. Pertama-tama, penelitian sebelumnya mengenai subjek Kitab Henokh ini sudah ketinggalan zaman. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini melakukan pendekatan baru untuk mengkaji Kitab Henokh dengan menggunakan perspektif Islam dimana penelitian ini jarang dilakukan. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kualitatif dengan analisis isi untuk memperoleh jawaban secara mendalam. Penelitian ini juga menggunakan metode triangulasi untuk menyelidiki data dan memperoleh keabsahan hasil. Secara keseluruhan, fase Bulan dalam Kitab Henokh mempunyai pemahaman yang sama dengan ilmu pengetahuan modern. Kitab Henokh menggambarkan secara implisit penampakan Bulan di belahan bumi utara. Penjelasan hari lunar Henokh di setiap bulannya diikuti dengan penanggalan Islam Urfi. Kemudian pernyataan “satu bulan ada 28 hari” didasarkan pada penggunaan siklus Callippic menurut pendapat Charles sedangkan menurut pendapat penulis Kitab Henokh menunjukkan siklus bulan sidereal. Selain itu, teori yang dianut oleh ilmu astronomi Islam mempunyai kaitan erat dengan naskah ini karena diyakini naskah ini milik Nabi Henokh atau Idris.

Abstract

Hisab by Mujab in Jepara produced Hilal’s height 1.5° and was visible. While, two Al-Husainiyyah students in Cakung who use hisab from Nayiroain Sullamun which produced Hilal’s height 3° and was visible. With these things, it raises questions, about the legal and astronomical review of the results of the rukyat at the end of Ramadan in 2011 AD/1432 H in Jepara and Cakung. This type of research is a literature study with qualitative research. In analyzing the data, the authors used a descriptive approach because the data was obtained qualitatively. The data collection techniques through documentation and interviews. The author conducted interviews with perukyat, judges who took the oath and some experts in Falak science. The results showed that based on legal analysis, the two places of rukyatul hilal in Jepara and in Cakung were legally rejected because the Ministry of Religion was guided by some covenants; the implementation of the two places are not in accordance with the SOP so the Ministry of Religion in isbat depends on astronomy experts, Falak and BMKG. Meanwhile, based on astronomical analysis, the testimony of rukyatul hilal in Jepara and in Cakung can be rejected because they do not match the MABIMS criteria.

Abstract

Indonesia implemented the Neo MABIMS criteria for the first time at the beginning of Ramadan and Shawwal 1443 H/2021 AD. However, the application of this new criterion raises an issue of problems in determining the beginning of Shawwal 1443 H. This problem arises in the implementation of the elongation parameter. So there is a confusion that arises for experts and observers of falak in the case of the beginning of the month. This will lead to uncertainty if it is not studied. Therefore, this research was raised using field research and  qualitative approach. Data collection in this study was carried out by interviewing Indonesian Falak figures and some data using documentation. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive analysis method and triangulation method to obtain valid results. The results of this study indicate that the Neo MABIMS criteria are the result of a new agreement from the renewal of previous criteria with higher parameters. The problem in determining the beginning of Shawwal 1443 H by implementing the Neo MABIMS criteria arises due to the lack of agreement on the use of geocentric or topocentric elongation parameters. In this Shawwal case, the experts decided to use geocentric elongation by considering maslaha (public interest). However, for this case, it was still in an ambiguous state due to there were two paradigms from the Falak figures regarding the implement of elongation, namely geocentric and topocentric.

Abstract

The condition of the pluralistic Indonesian society and various mass organizations raises various views regarding the determination of the beginning of the lunar month. This view is caused by differences in understanding and interpretation of verses and hadiths relating to the beginning of the lunar month. In Indonesia there was a case where when the new moon was below the criteria there was someone who testified to see the new moon and dared to take an oath. In essence, this is contrary to the view of astronomy and civil law in Indonesia. This research is included in the literature research with a qualitative approach. The results showed that astronomically and the procedural law of the religious courts, a person who testifies to seeing the new moon will be validated in astronomy through field data obtained as well as by the procedural law of the religious courts by fulfilling the requirements and criteria that apply in Indonesia, weather conditions that allow it to be seen. hilal, and in accordance with the Decree of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia Number KMA/095/X/2006.

Abstract

Prophet Idris was the first man to write Falak with Qalam and taught astrology. Prophet Idris pbuh had a life that was still contemporaneous with prophet Adam as. In addition, the explanation of the Prophet Idris pbuh found in the earlier books up to the Qur'an. As for the books that explain about the Prophet Idris pbuh are Zabur, the Torah, the Gospels and the Qur'an. Over time, the Bible found in the Jewish teachings was united with the teachings of the Christian gospel so that it was called the Bible. Bible consists of the Old Testament which contains the Torah and the New Testament which contains the canonical gospel. Basically, the Qur'an does not directly explain the descendants or nasab of the Prophet Idris pbuh. The explanation of the nasab of the Prophet Idris is explained by the Torah, the Gospels and the Bible with reference to the name Enoch. This is because Idris' name in Hebrew is Enoch. Therefore, to get an explanation of the Prophet Idris, we can refer to the books, namely the Torah, the Gospels and the Bible.
