TSAQAFAH : Jurnal Peradaban Islam
ISSN : 14110334     EISSN : 24600008     DOI : https://doi.org/10.21111/tsaqafah
Core Subject :
Tsaqafah is a journal published by the University of Darussalam Gontor with its aims related to Islamic Civilization. What we refer to as Islamic Civilization, in accordance with the terminology elucidated in Islam as Religion and Civilization by Hamid Fahmy Zarkasyi, consists of two substantial elements in our view, namely Culture and Knowledge. Through culture that has been Islamized, societies have developed traditions at the local level that remain consistent with their original culture without conflicting with Islamic values. Additionally, a portion of the population forms scholarly communities because of the obligation of seeking knowledge in Islam inspired by the revelations of the Quran and the practices in the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, which subsequently led to the development of methodologies and research resulting in products referred to as Islamic Sciences, Islamicate Science, or Islamicate Society in a broad sense, encompassing various disciplines of knowledge.

Abstract

Malay camphor (Dryobalanops aromatica) has played a significant role in the economy, Malay culture, and international trade since ancient times. It has been used in medicine, religious rituals, and diplomatic relations between major empires. Known as al-Kafur in the Quran and Hadith, it was also referred to as camphor by European traders. However, after the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, Malay Camphor became increasingly marginalized when Chinese Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora, also known as Xiangzhang [樟树]) replaced it due to its lower cost. In 1903, the production of synthetic camphor, based on the chemical formula of Chinese Camphor (C10H16O), was patented as camphor, while the chemical formula of Malay Camphor (C10H18O) was designated as borneol, leading to confusion in scientific studies, Malay scholarship, and Islamic studies. This study examines the differences between Malay Camphor and Chinese Camphor and aims to determine which type is actually referenced in the Quran and Islamic history. A qualitative approach was employed, involving a literature review, analysis of Quranic and Hadith interpretations, and interviews with historians, botanists, and cultural practitioners in Barus. The findings indicate that Malay Camphor has a more fragrant aroma, a cooling effect, refreshing, free from harm, non-toxicity, and high quality. It is also edible and can be used as a flavoring agent—aligning with the characteristics of al-Kafurin Islamic interpretation. However, trade monopolies and terminological errors have obscured its identity in modern history. This study confirms that al-Kafurin Islam refers to Malay Camphor and highlights the importance of correcting terminological errors to ensure that camphor is associated with Dryobalanops aromatica rather than Xiangzhang.

Abstract

This study examines the significant contributions of the Arab community, specifically from Hadramaut, Yemen, to the socio-religious and cultural development of Palembang, Indonesia. The Arab community, primarily Sunni Muslims, arrived during the era of the Palembang Darussalam Sultanate in the 17th century and played a pivotal role in the Islamization of the region and the enrichment of local identity through cultural and social values. This research addresses the reception of Arab-Islamic practices by the local population, which resulted in notable acculturation, evident in religious traditions such as Maulid Nabi and zikr practices, as well as the incorporation of Islamic principles in governance and daily life. The study employs a qualitative methodology with a descriptive approach, relying on in-depth interviews with prominent figures and descendants of the Arab community, as well as an analysis of historical documents, including manuscripts and reports from archaeological sites. It focuses on historical areas like Kampung Arab Al-Munawwar and Ulu-Ilir, which are central to the Arab community’s legacy in Palembang. The findings highlight the establishment of Islamic educational institutions, such as madrasahs and pesantrens, by prominent figures like Habib Alwi Bahsin. These institutions played key roles in disseminating religious and general knowledge, fostering intellectual and social empowerment. Additionally, evidence of the reception of Islamic values into local culture can be found in acculturated traditions, culinary practices, and community activities that go beyond well-known practices like Maulid and zikr. In conclusion, the Arab community’s contributions extend beyond religious propagation, encompassing education, social development, and cultural reception, ultimately shaping Palembang’s identity as a vital center of Islamic civilization in the Nusantara.

Abstract

This article examines the contemporary interpretation of riqāb (emancipation of slaves) as a category for zakat recipients, as articulated by Wahbah al-Zuḥaylī, a prominent Islamic jurist. While slavery is no longer a widespread institution, al-Zuḥaylī's reinterpretation of riqāb holds significant implications for addressing modern social issues, particularly those related to poverty and marginalization in South Sulawesi. The study explores potential avenues for zakat distribution to support initiatives that align with the essence of riqāb, such as education, skill development, and debt relief. By applying al-Zuḥaylī's perspective, this research contributes to a broader understanding of zakat's role in social upliftment in the region. This research adopts a qualitative approach, relying primarily on textual analysis and interpretation of al-Zuḥaylī's jurisprudence regarding zakat and riqāb. Secondary sources, including academic articles, reports, and policy documents, are also employed to contextualize the findings within the socioeconomic landscape of South Sulawesi. Reinterpreting the Islamic concept of riqāb in the modern context offers profound implications for both Islamic thought and contemporary society, facilitating a more inclusive and dynamic understanding of zakat’s potential to address pressing social challenges.

Abstract

The modern Western civilization infused with the dominance of humanism and secularism has pushed religion away from being involved in scientific developments. This paradigm has also been invested in and has flourished in conventional economics disciplines, and unfortunately, the concept is also attached to Islamic economics. One of the doctrines constructed is the cosmological doctrine, which declares that resources are limited thereby initiating the most fundamental economic problem: scarcity. This study aims to scrutinize the cosmological presupposition in economics by utilizing the Islamic worldview conceptualized by al-Attas. The method is a descriptive-philosophical examination with a thematic analysis approach. This research reveals that God plays an active role in all myriad layers of creation which necessitates His transcendental association with the cosmos. God has names and attributes that introduce His transcendent and immanent presence in the universe. Terms in the Qur’an such as rizq, ni’mah, minnah, ala’, and al-fadhl semantically indicate God’s transcendental abundant sustenance in the world. The theo-cosmological concept of the Islamic worldview reveals the Islamic economics perceives resources as having an unlimited source of its transcendence.

Abstract

The Medina Charter is considered the first constitution in the world because it has almost the same content as the modern constitution. So the study of the discussion of the history of the establishment of the Medina Charter, the politics of law, and the content of the material content is very necessary to be examined to be a material renewal of the modern constitution today. This research aims to be a comparative material with modern constitutions and as a material for constitutional reform in any country. This research is normative research with historical and comparative approaches. The data source of this research uses a literature study by tracing books and journals. While the data analysis method uses content analysis. The Medina Charter was formed by the Prophet Muhammad SAW. when he came to Medina to create peace and form a force to protect the city of Medina from outside attacks. The Medina Charter in the concept of Philippe Nonet and Philip Selznick's legal criteria includes responsive law because it contains characteristics, namely democratic making, equality in law, no partiality, made for public needs, and shared morality realized for the common good. The Medina Charter is said to be the first modern constitution in the world because its content is in line with modern constitutions, namely the protection of human rights, duties and obligations of citizens, politics of peace and unity, material provisions of the law, and state institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the causes of the decline of scientific tradition in the Islamic world, considering three conventional theses proposed by liberal Muslim and Western intellectuals: internal and external factors. The first thesis attributes the decline to al-Ghazālī’s supposed rejection of science as depicted in his Tahāfut al-falāsifa (The Incoherence of the Philosophers), followed by the Islamic world, leading to its decline. Meanwhile, the second thesis identifies the Mongol invasion of Baghdad in 1258 as the main cause. The last thesis stated that the decline causes by the banning of printing press by Ottoman Empire specifically at the time of Sultan Bayezid II in 1485 and Selim I in 1515. Applying historical analysis method, this research seeks to uncover the truth behind these theses by examining relevant literature. Surprisingly, the results contradict the initial assumptions. The first thesis is rejected as al-Ghazālī did not reject science but rather supported it. His views were misunderstood by his detractors. Additionally, after the al-Ghazālī era, science and philosophy continued to thrive in the Islamic world. Similarly, the second thesis is also refuted as science and philosophy persisted and developed despite the Mongol invasion of Baghdad. Within a year of the invasion, the Maragha Observatory was established under the guidance of Nas}īr al-Dīn al-T}ūsī, a renowned Muslim scientist. This observatory became a global scientific hub, making significant contributions to mathematics and astronomy. The final proposition is similarly dismissed, as the Ottoman Sultans did not categorically dismiss the concept of the printing press; instead, they opted for a temporary restriction on its utilization within particular societal segments. This action was motivated by the apprehension that unrestricted access to the printing press among specific groups could possibly result in adverse political and economic outcomes for the larger Muslim community. To offer an alternative perspective, this study utilizes Janet Abu-Lughod’s European hegemonic approach, stemming from Immanuel Wallerstein’s world-system theory. By applying this approach, the author argues that the waning of scientific advancement in the Islamic world can be traced back to modern Western hegemony and its dominance over the Muslim realm.
