Abstract

In the era of globalization, the complexity of social, economic, and environmental challenges has resulted in the decline of the role of traditional religious institutions, as well as the emergence of secularism and religious pluralism. This study aims to reveal the response of religion to the phenomena of secularization, conflict, and economic inequality in the 21st century with a qualitative approach through literature studies. The results of the study indicate that secularism has become a contemporary issue, with a decline in religious affiliation among the younger generation, especially in Europe; however, projections for 2050 show a resurgence of religious adherents and an important role for religion in society. In addition, increasing religious diversity creates challenges and tensions between communities, but many religions respond by building solidarity through dialogue and peace campaigns. Amidst the increasing economic gap, religions respond by reviewing relevant teachings and principles, such as the simplicity movement that combines spiritual values with ways of earning a living, ethical education in business, and playing an active role in anti-poverty campaigns and other social issues. This paper adds insight into the role of religion in building sustainable social solidarity and economic ethics amidst contemporary challenges.

Abstract

Confucianism is a school of thought that was born in China in the sixth century BC, founded by Confucius. This teaching emphasizes moral virtue, social relationships, and the connection between man and Heaven. The aim of this article is to explore the evolution of Confucianism from its early teachings to its more complex form of Neo-Confucianism, as well as its relevance in the modern context in China and East Asia. The methods used in this article involve a historical and philosophical approach through textual analysis of the teachings of Dao and Confucius, including the works of Zhu Xi, as well as a comparative study of its influence on culture, society, and politics in East Asia. The results of the analysis show that although Confucianism suffered a decline during the period of division after the fall of the Han Dynasty, its rise through Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty era not only integrated metaphysical and spiritual elements but also strengthened education and self-development as the foundation of morality. In addition, the article reveals how Daoism and Confucianism have successfully adapted to modern challenges, such as interaction with Western thought and far-reaching social changes so that it remains relevant in shaping contemporary culture and ethics in East Asia.

Abstract

This article presents a literature review of the book by Mary Pat Fisher and Robin Rinehart that discusses the concept of Living Religion and its application in everyday life, with a focus on Surah Al-Fatihah in the Qur'an. Surah Al-Fatihah, as a fundamental part of Islamic teachings, has a very deep and broad meaning, not only as a prayer in ritual worship but also as a moral and spiritual guideline in human interaction with God and others. This article explores how the values contained in Surah Al-Fatihah can be grounded in everyday life as part of a living religious practice. By applying the principles of Surah Al-Fatihah in everyday life, Muslims can face life's challenges more wisely and meaningfully. This discussion also raises the relevance of the concept of Living Religion in the modern pluralistic and dynamic world, where religious teachings need to be adapted to remain relevant and provide solutions to social and personal life problems. This article is expected to provide insight into the development of a more contextual and applicable understanding of religion, as well as encourage the application of religious values in everyday life that is more meaningful. Contribution: The discussion extends to the concept of Living Religion within a pluralistic and dynamic world, addressing the necessity for religious teachings to evolve and remain applicable to contemporary social issues. This perspective encourages interfaith dialogue and understanding in increasingly diverse societies.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of the Frater learning approach through Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in enhancing the reading comprehension skills of philosophy students tackling English-language philosophical texts. By integrating pre-tests, post-tests, and qualitative feedback, the research highlights how MOOCs address challenges in understanding dense and complex philosophical material. The findings reveal a significant 11% improvement in reading comprehension after MOOC participation, emphasizing its effectiveness in breaking down intricate concepts into manageable components. Key elements contributing to this success include segmented video content, which facilitates focused learning, and interactive assessments that reinforce comprehension in real time. This research underscores the potential of the MOOC-based Frater approach as an innovative solution for bridging language and content barriers in the study of philosophy.

Abstract

This study aims to discuss the concept of religious tolerance in the history of Islamic civilization. This study uses a qualitative approach by applying analytical descriptive methods. The results and discussion in this study show that the dynamics of religious tolerance in the history of Islamic civilization cannot be separated from the understanding of Muslims of the concept of tolerance and inter-religious relations sourced from the Qur'an and the instructions of the Prophet Muhammad, as reflected in the Charter of Medina, the Pact of Umar, the birth of Comparative Religion, the concept of Ahl Al-Dhimma, to the Caliphate system that regulates tolerance and religious freedom. The study concludes that the concept of religious tolerance in Islamic teachings has been realized in the historical reality of Islamic civilization.

Encounters between religious communities are the gateway to knowing, understanding and tolerance. This was done by Catholic children from Joy Kids International Tasikmalaya Elementary School who visited the Darussalam Ciamis Islamic Boarding School. This encounter is packaged through the "Dulur Ulin" (Playmates) Festival. It is hoped that through this activity, children can find interfaith playmates. This encounter then becomes a new parenting model regarding the introduction of diversity of beliefs for parents and children. Because of the memory of encounters with different cultures and religions. Children can explore various cultures, cultures and religions through this festival. This article uses qualitative methods and a phenomenological approach to see to what extent this activity provides meaning for parents and children to see that the memory of fraternal encounters between religious communities can have an impact on thought patterns and attitudes for parents and children. So the analysis used is Neuroparenting, because the "Dulur Ulin" festival activities are expected to become a parenting program, namely introducing children to a diversity of beliefs. As a result, through meeting activities using traditional Sundanese games, children were able to establish communication, socialize and even explore good friends from Catholics and Muslims. The impression of happiness when playing with friends provides positive memories in seeing that differences in culture, culture and religion can still unite them in the game. So the "Dulur Ulin" festival can be used as a means of meeting between religious communities to build a memory of brotherhood for children.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the concept of the validity of "talaqqathu al-ummah bi al-qabul", with a focus on the case of the hadith regarding changes in the purity of water due to impurity entering it which changes its smell, color and taste. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method. Data was collected through analysis of hadith books, primary sources of hadith, and fiqh literature. The research results show that there is a concept of external validity used by hadith experts, namely the concept of "talaqqathu al-ummah bi al-qabul." In the case of the hadith on changing the purity of water, even though the sanad is considered da’if, al-Shafi'i and al-Baihaqi judge it to be authentic because of the ijma that strengthens it. This research has implications for a broader understanding of the external hadith validity criteria used by hadith experts.

Abstract

This study aims to discuss the concept of magic (sihr) in the Qur’an using an encyclopedic semantic approach. The formal object of this research is the semantic study of the Qur’an, while the material object is the concept of magic in the Qur’an. The context of this study is encyclopedic semantics. The research method is qualitative, employing descriptive-analytical methods and is based on library research. The findings of this study indicate that the word sihr in the Qur’an has a basic meaning of the last part of the night, before the break of dawn, where the darkness of the night meets the light of dawn. This makes anything present during that time appear unclear and indistinct. This meaning is also found in pre-Islamic poetry texts and authoritative Arabic dictionaries. Moreover, the basic meanings found in these dictionaries include meanings reflected in the Qur’an, such as ambiguity, hiddenness, deception, and others. Additionally, the meaning of sihr in the Qur’an has undergone a shift toward a more specific negative connotation. This is evidenced by the frequent association of the term sihr with negative words or meanings in the Qur’an, although the Qur’an still retains its basic meanings from the pre-Islamic period, such as the dawn, something attractive and beautiful, as well as abundance in food and drink.
