<![CDATA[Amidst the dynamics of social change and rapidly evolving global challenges, economic uncertainty, inequality and poverty are the main highlights. This research aims to identify the principles of Maqashid Sharia in JPS and analyze the implementation of Islamic ethical values in these programs. The research results show the success of the JPS program in integrating Maqashid Sharia principles holistically, including the protection of life, property, religion, reason and descendants. The JPS program not only provides financial assistance, but also empowers through skills development and training to help individuals or groups get out of vulnerable conditions independently. With a qualitative literature review approach, this research produces an in-depth understanding of the contribution of Islamic ethical values in increasing the effectiveness and fairness of JPS programs. This research provides valuable guidance for the development of policies that are more grounded in Islamic moral and spiritual principles, so that JPS programs can continue to develop and provide maximum benefits for communities in need.]]>

<![CDATA[This article will discuss two main aspects of human rights. The first is the concept of freedom, and the second is the concept of gender equality. This discussion will use an Islamic approach with the method of maudhu'i interpretation. Freedom according to Islam is freedom that is more directed and limited, free but bound not to cross the limits set by Islam. In contrast to freedom according to human rights which tends to be liberal to do the will without limits, while not interfering with the rights of others. While gender equality according to Islam is equality that does not mean exactly the same, the equivalent referred to here is in the value of work done in the eyes of Allah SWT. In Islam men and women have their respective portions in carrying out their rights and obligations. This study dismisses the issue that states that Islam is a religion that is intolerant of human rights, especially in the aspects of freedom and gender equality. However, Islam has its own guidelines to regulate how to implement the concept of freedom and gender equality contained in the Qur'an.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper examines more deeply Naomi Wolf's thoughts on beauty. According to him, universal and physically dependent beauty standards are a myth that oppresses women. Two things that underlie the existence of beauty myths are the motifs and elements that form them. The first motive for the formation of myths was for women to become entangled in industrialization and consumerism. Furthermore, the motive for the existence of myths is for women to remain in a subordinated position. There are three elements that form myth, namely; culture, religion and sexuality. All three have the function of keeping women in a subordinated position. To get out of the myth, Naomi Wolf made an offer in the form of a personal construction of beauty. This article provides the finding that Naomi Wolf's reading and offerings regarding lesbianism, subordination, and nudity will lead women to new myths. Islam as a shumul (comprehensive) religion provides a comprehensive beauty construction that includes the intellectual, moral and spiritual beauty of women.]]>

<![CDATA[ Sufism has an important role in the spread of Islam in Indonesia. Islamization in Indonesia is colored by the practice of Sufism spread in various tariqa groups which are still preserved. In its development, Sufism began to shift, until it approached the circumstance, and moved away from the origin of Sufism until many Islamic modernists in the world rejected the teachings of Sufism. Hamka as an Islamic thinker in Indonesia expresses the concept of modern Sufism that restores it to its purity according to the spirit in Islam. Hamka's modern Sufism concept became a new perspective on Islamic Modernism, especially in Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[Islamophobic discourse has been a global phenomenon that has harmed Islam since the early 20th century. This article aims to reveal the root causes of Islamophobia with the perspective of epistemic racism initiated by Ramón Grosfoguel in sociological discourse. The material object of this study is Islamophobia found in Western literature and studies, which is explored using the theory of epistemic racism as a formal object. The results of this study reveal that epistemic racism towards the West manifests itself in two attitudes: first, political-identity hegemony formed from epistemic privilege and Eurocentrism. Second, othering (Fanaticism and Unilateral Claims of Truth) with superiority that considers non-Western inferior and backward. These two attitudes produce wrong knowledge of non-Westerners, especially Islam. Ultimately it has implications for hatred and dislike of Islam. This is in line with what S said. M. N. Al-Attas that Western knowledge about Islam is not complete (corruption of knowledge). This article concludes that Islamophobia is an attitude that Ramon Grosfoguel considers to be an act equivalent to racism that hates a certain race, but in this case it is a racist attitude between followers of a certain religion.]]>

<![CDATA[Dynasty politics is currently being hotly discussed in the public because Dynasty Politics is considered to be destroying the democratic system that already operates within the country. Dynastic politics must be prevented immediately because it has the potential to have a negative impact on a country's government. Jamaluddin Al Afghani is an Islamic cleric who operates in the political field. With his intelligence, he has been able to create ideas that can have a big influence on Muslims, namely Pan-Islamism. This article aims to present the idea of Pan-Islamism as a means of prevention against the continuous Politics of the Dynasty. In writing this article, the author uses a qualitative descriptive method by collecting primary and secondary data. With the idea of Pan-Islamism, it is hoped that Dynasty Politics can be prevented by using five methods, including: empowering the people in the political process, monitoring and accountability, fighting against nepotism, spreading patience and political education, and finally collaboration between movements in opposing Dynasty Politics.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the use of fiqh rules in Islamic economic fatwas issued by the National Sharia Council-Majelis Ulama Indonesia (DSN-MUI). The research method used is library research by using 152 DSN-MUI fatwas as primary data sources. The results showed that of the 152 fatwas studied, there were 4 fatwas (3%) that did not use fiqh rules, while 148 fatwas (97%) used fiqh rules in varying amounts between 1-8 rules per fatwa. The most frequently used fiqh rules are the rules "basically, all forms of muamalah may be carried out unless there is evidence that prohibits it", followed by the rules "dar'ul mafasid muqaddam 'ala jalbi al-mashalih", "ad-dharar yuzal", "al-hajatu tunzalu manzilata adh-dhururah", and "al-'adatu muhakkamah". This study concludes that fiqh rules are the main reference in the preparation of Islamic economic fatwas by DSN-MUI, which shows the urgency of fiqh rules in formulating laws related to contemporary Islamic economic issues.]]>
