Abstract

More than five decades, the Muslim ummah have been facing different challenges from within and outside the Muslim world. The challenges cut across the political, socio-economic, educational, and scientific technologies. Additionally, sectarianism and the absence of tolerance among the adherence of each sect have a greater impact on the unity of the Muslim ummah. Many reasons are adducible for the high rate of disunity among ummah. These include misperception of Islamic Teachings and distortion of some of the teachings of Islam by the western world who studied Islam to destroy it. The findings revealed here that the aforementioned challenges can be tackled if the basic teachings of the Qur’an and sunnah is given high preference in all Muslim communities. Also, there is the need for a regulatory body on Islamic affairs, which will be empowered to see to Dawah activities of individual scholars. It would go a long way in preventing the spread of falsehood around the Muslim world. It is recommended that the Teachings of Islam be conveyed to the people through Scholars who are well grounded in all the components of knowledge that constitute the Islamic knowledge such as Arabic, Usul fiqh, Uluml Qur’an etc. This fundamental measure would drastically reduce the challenges facing the Muslim world. The theoretical method is adopted in this work for the proper earning of many literatures.

Abstract

A convert is someone who experiences a leap in religious experience, from being a non-Muslim to converting to Islam and becoming a Muslim. This definition of a convert demonstrates that a convert is not someone who has been educated in Islamic religion and spirituality since childhood. Therefore, an increased understanding of Islamic law and worship, particularly reading and writing the Quran, is also necessary. One of the roles of the Tegal Regency Muallaf House (Rumah Muallaf) in meeting these needs is the role of the House of Muallaf (Rumah Muallaf). However, the programs developed by the House of Muallaf have not always been technically smooth. This is due to the congregation's scattered domiciles, the diversity of professions held by the congregation, the inconsistent enthusiasm of the congregation, and the varying levels of understanding of sharia and worship, as well as the diversity of skills in reading the holy book, the Quran. Community service activities carried out by IAT students aim to understand the situation, reconcile with reality, find a compromise to address challenges, and provide solutions to the problems faced by converts. Developing a practical guidebook for worship and improving Quran reading skills for converts in Tegal Regency is a solution desired by converts. Through the implementation of the ABCD method, with its five steps, the management and members of the Rumah Muallaf community have identified sufficient internal assets to be utilized to realize this practical guidebook for worship.

Abstract

Lombok is an island in eastern Indonesia known for its rich culture and religious diversity. Historically, Lombok has been influenced by various cultural and religious influences, initially being part of the Karangasem kingdom in Bali, with a predominantly Hindu population. However, with the spread of Islam in the region, cultural and religious acculturation has resulted in a unique blend within the community, particularly evident in conversion marriages between Muslims and Hindus in the Lingsar and Narmada districts of West Lombok. This study uses a qualitative approach to gather detailed information on the dynamics of conversion marriages in the Lingsar and Narmada districts. Data were collected through interviews with several informants, social observations, and relevant literature. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the social, legal, and cultural aspects of these marriages from the perspectives of Islamic and Hindu law and social change. This study highlights the complexity of changes in interfaith marriages, which are influenced by factors such as love, tolerance, family influence, and cultural considerations. This study examines the perspectives of Islamic and Hindu law on these marriages and the social changes in the community, which reflect different views and practices. Islamic law allows conversion marriages to Islam under certain conditions, while Hindu law allows conversion marriages to Hinduism and strictly prohibits marriages with non-Hindus, emphasizing the importance of upholding dharma. This study also investigates societal responses, identifying positive and negative perceptions that shape the acceptance or rejection of such marriages, reflecting broader social changes in society.
