Abstract

ABSTRACT: Islam, the youngest of the three Semitic religions in the world today, is the fastest growing religion on earth. As a result, it faces a lot of criticism and blackmail directed at its adherents as well as renowned Muslims. The Islamic view on “shariah” (divine law), “hijab” (headscarf), polygamy, and, above all, “jihad”, are erroneously and mischievously translated by some non-Muslims historians. “Jihad” to them is nothing but war, terrorism, assassination, and using the sword’s edge to convert non-Muslims to Islam. This paper intends to analyze the historical perspectives of “jihad”, the concept, justifications, and the methods of recruitment of soldiers in “jihad”. It also analyses the Islamic instructions for Muslims in war front and the treatment of Islamic prisoners of war. The method of approach is purely from written sources, which comprise of documents, monographs, manuscripts, books, journals as well as magazines. The study reveals that those wars fought by the Muslims were for their own protection and that of the faith. Likewise, the issue of forceful conversion to Islam, either by the edge of the sword or barrel of a gun, as often ranted by some non-Muslim historians, holds no ground in Islam. The paper, therefore, recommended that one should look into the early history of Islam and see that it was the Muslims that were cheated, humiliated, banished, and their properties were confiscated. The paper concluded that the assertion of some non-Muslims that Islam spread through violence, and people were forced to either accept Islam or die by sword is not only untrue but also baseless.KEY WORDS: Islam, concept of “jihad”, faith, Islamic instruction, non-Muslims historian, fundamentalists, conversion, terrorism, and misperceptions on Islam.About the Author: Kamaldeen Olawale Sulaiman, Ph.D. is a Lecturer at the Department of Religious Studies ESU (Ekiti State University) in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Traditionally, ocean is seen as the source of inspiration in the quest for truth that denies the theory of worldview which is always related to myths and superstitions. Ocean has its advantage to tie relationship between nations, to form the will of togetherness, to understand each other as well as to generate wealth. It is priceless treasure which cannot be traded and changed. On the contrary, ocean can also be regarded as a conflict zone that has brought the fall of many ancient traditional civilizations and caused the distant relationship between nations. In relation to this, this article will review the importance of observation relating to maritime aspects of this region and the ability of maritime in re-uniting modern countries of South East Asia that have destroyed due to past colonization. To realize the mission and vision of uniting the nations of this region, a paradigm shift in the government policy as well as in the mind of the people should first be done, i.e. to see oceans as an uniting factor not as separator. In a bigger framework, all nations of this region should instil the determination and awareness that the historical and cultural maritime of Southeast Asia belongs to everybody and it is the joint heritage of every states and nations in this region.       KEY WORDS: Ocean, united nation, islands of South East Asia, archipelago, and the history of maritime.About the Author: Assoc.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The history of the city seems to be beneficial in urban studies. Thematically, the discussion of the city is not only to look the city from the structural aspects, but also look at the historical reconstruction. The most important aspect of historical reconstruction is the time-bound development. Therefore, the thematic discussion of the city is essential to incorporate the discussion structurally with regard to the chronological aspect. This study relates to Jayapura City in Papua Province, that is located at the eastern end of Indonesia and directly borders with neighboring countries, PNG (Papua New Guinea). The geographical conditions of Jayapura City are very diverse and dominated by hills that lead to the formation of separated urban areas. Currently, there are two major parts of the urban areas well-known as Jayapura and Abepura. Historically, Jayapura and Abepura were two old urban towns, namely “Hollandia Haven” and “Hollandia Binnen”. The existence of two parts of the urban areas in Jayapura City is one of the interesting things to be studied to determine its relevance to historical factors of Jayapura City. The division of developmental stages into some phases was carried out to understand how the pattern of historical development of Jayapura City is. Results of the study showed that the two urban towns have existed since the established of Jayapura City and survived to date. The presence of both old towns form the characteristics of ‘‘two cities within a city”.KEY WORDS: Historic Towns; Two Cities; Hollandia Haven; Hollandia Binnen; Jayapura City.About the Author: Alfini Baharuddin is a Doctoral Student at the Department of Architecture and Planning, Faculty of Engineering UGM (Gadjah Mada University), Jalan Grafika, Yogyakarta; and a Lecturer at the Department of Architecture USTJ (Jayapura University of Science and Technology), Jalan Raya Sentani, Padang Bulan, Abepura, Jayapura, Papua, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Indonesia as one of the countries in the world which has a vast sea or territorial waters wider than the mainland. Therefore, the marine potentials should be resources that contribute to national development. In fact, the national development carried out more oriented to the creation of economic growth centers in the major cities and ignores to develop the coastal communities. This is the starting point of problem in the history of Indonesia development, so that coastal communities, including the coastal communities of Makassar city, experiencing lag. Beside unfavorable orientation in national development, the socio-cultural factors of coastal communities also creates stagnant from generation to generation. Since the New Order regime (1966-1998), through the development program of coastal community has been implemented, the overall performance of the development of coastal and marine community has not shown any innovation or completion of deficiencies for coastal communities. Orientation of development from central to regional area (top down) shows that how development the coastal communities is not seen as a sector that could increase foreign exchange. Therefore, the data on potential sources of marine coastal communities, in the economic perspective, can be a mainstay for a large source of revenue. Finally, backwardness of Makassar coastal communities need reorientation and integrated development policies from the government and non-governmental organizations so that the history of development coastal communities are not repeated and it will consequently fail.KEY WORDS: Economic development, backwardness, coastal communities, Makassar city, attitude and mentality, community empowerment, and welfare and social justice.About the Author: Abdul Wahab, M.Si. is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Education and Teacher Training UVRI (Veteran University of the Republic of Indonesia), Campus II UVRI Makassar, Jalan Baruga Raya, Antang, Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia; and Doctoral Student at the Postgraduate Program UNM (State University of Makassar).

Abstract

ABSTRACT: As one of the modern Islamic organizations, MASYUMI (Majelis Syuro Muslimin Indonesia or Council of Indonesian Muslim Association), in its development, cannot be separated from the internal dynamics. The dynamics influenced toward the pattern of the struggle that it did. The differences of MASYUMI’s characteristics are the main reasons for the friction. Besides, internal political interests became the other causes of MASYUMI’s discordance. Different characters and their political interests led to the domination of one group in MASYUMI. The political domination impacts on the integrity of the members in it. This study tries to elaborate of friction in MASYUMI as modern political party in Indonesia, since 1940s to 1960s in Indonesian political landscape. The method of study is a qualitative research, especially historical method, in which the Heuristic, Critics, Analysis, and Historiography are the steps in historical research. The findings show that as a result of these frictions in MASYUMI, the authority and dignity of the organization has decreased. MASYUMI was no longer become covered Islamic organizations, as well as on the initial formation. Many Muslims did not want to join again with MASYUMI. Inequalities in the management of distributing the resources unevenly became the early setback that MASYUMI up cannot be glimpsed again by Muslims, either personally or collectively.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Contemporary Turkish Islamic scholar, Fethullah Gülen, states that the world is in need of Islam and Islam is in need of representation or “tamsil”. He believes that people’s ears are full but their eyes are hungry for role models in all areas of life, including educational institutions. In his philosophy, representation comes before communication or “tabligh”. When referring to “tamsil”, Fethullah Gülen uses the term “Hasani ruh” or the spirit of Hasan, grandson of Prophet Muhammad SAW (peace be upon him). Hasan (radiallahu anh) symbolizes a loved leader who sacrifices for the peace, security, and good of people while striving to prevent conflict and bloodshed in the Muslim world. In Fethullah Gülen’s works, “Hasani ruh” refers to being altruistic, trustworthy, peaceful, and devoted to the service of humanity. I will examine the concept of “Hasani ruh” and explore the altruism of teachers as seen in the time they devote and financial support they give to the educational institutions established by Fethullah Gülen’s followers in the state of Victoria in Australia.KEY WORDS: Fethullah Gülen’s works, representation, “Hasani ruh”, altruism of teachers, and Gülen-inspired school in Victoria.===About the Author: Dr. Salih Yucel is a Lecturer at the School of Philosophical, Historical, and International Studies, Centre for Studies in Religion and Theology MU (Monash University), Clayton Campus, Victoria, Australia 3800.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The art of “wayang golek” or “golek” is indigenous to Sundanese people. As a Sundanese traditional art, “golek” has been developed within generations of Sundanese people up to these days, based on a convention called “pakem” or “tetekon”. “Golek” is a variety of “wayang” (Indonesian shadow puppet) made of wood, similar to a doll and can be moved freely. “Wayang golek” is usually performed in an open space, throughout the night. Sundanese people commonly hold a “golek” performance for a ritual such as “ruwatan” and “sekatenan” that commemorates “Maulid Nabi Muhammad SAW”. However, since time has passed, marked by the existence of mass media in the form of television (TV) among Sundanese people, “golek” performance started to be broadcasted on TV. Since the performance of “golek” on TV has been possible, it represents a significant difference compared to traditional “golek” performance, which is marked by the visual language of television or “visual framing”, such as zoom in/out, panning, tilt up/down, close up, medium close, etc. The change in visual representation of “golek” on TV becomes sensational and entertaining, compared to traditional “golek” performances which are symbolic and ritual. KEY WORDS: Change, code, visual framing, “wayang golek”, Sundanese society, television, and entertainment.About the Author: Irfansyah is a Leturer at the Study Program of Visual Communication Design, Faculty of Fine Art and Design ITB (Bandung Institute of Technology), Jalan Ganesha No.10 Tamansari, Bandung 40132, West Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The objectives of this research is to explore the geological conditions and tales about earthquake narrated by local people in Indonesia and Japan; and the local wisdoms contained in traditional houses in Kampung Naga, West Java, Indonesia and in Shirakawa-go, Japan in relation to seismic resistant. This research employed qualitative approach, an approach that tends to have a subjective perspective. Sources of data were obtained from literature review, interviews, and a FGD (Focus Group Discussion). The results showed that although the traditional houses in Kampung Naga, Indonesia and in Shirakawa-go, Japan have many differences, but both architectural models have in common purpose to reduce the damage to the building in case of earthquake. Building resilience in both traditional houses has similarities to the foundation and the materials used. “Rumah Panggung” in Kampung Naga and “Minka Gassho Zukuri” in Shirakawa-go do not have a rigid structure for their foundations, floors, and buildings. In the event of an earthquake, the houses just shifted their positions following the horizontal force of the earthquake. The buildings will move freely and return to their original positions after the quake without causing any serious damage. Difference between the two are house in Kampung Naga only uses materials that are lightweight and thin, while house in Shirakawa-go uses thick roof to adjust to the local climatic conditions. The people in Kampung Naga and Shirakawa-go are considered successful in building seismic resistant houses. KEY WORDS: Rumah Panggung in Kampung Naga, local wisdom, Minka Gassho Zukuri in Shirakawa-go, mitigation earthquake, and local natural conditions.     About the Authors: Dr. Ahmad Yani is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Geography Education, Faculty of Social Studies Education UPI (Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia or Indonesia University of Education) in Bandung.
