This paper deals mainly with the political struggle of the people of Southern Philippine for independence. To a large extent, this paper is about the investigation of the political ideology of these people. To start with, the paper distinguishes between two opposing groups, namely the government and the Muslim group demanding for independence. The Muslims in their turn were then classified into two groups, the one is radical pursuing for political change through political ?often violent- activities, and the other is moderate urging for a better life especially for Muslims through a peaceful, constructive, legal, and constitutional means. The paper argues that the government of the Philippine has shown its willingness to find ways of solving the problems through dialogue and peace process. The paper is also interested in discussing the view expressed by Peter Gowing who believes that in the near future the Muslims of the Philippine would be divided into two groups. The one successfully forms autonomous quasi-independent Muslim territories, and the other sticks to the national government having a strong consciousness to work toward the national integration and harmony.

The wave of immigration of Muslims to European countries has brought with it the serious consequences as to how these Muslims should adapt culturally and religiously to the entirely different circumstances. Some Muslim intellectuals ?like Fethullah Gulensuggested that Muslims should maintain the cultural co-existence in a way that would not endanger their religious tradition while at the same time bring a state of peace both for themselves and for the communities they live in. Tariq Ramadhan in the meantime suggested that Muslims be committed to what he calls the cultural assimilation whereby they put aside their cultural upbringing from their country of origin and assimilate fully into the cultural live of Europe. Hence, this paper is about the analysis of the cultural dilemma that Muslims face in Europe by referring to the thought of Gulen and Ramadhan on the issue at hand. Although the context of the paper is limited to Europe, the content of the analysis is presented in such a way that it may also be relevant to similar problems faced by Muslims in different cultural and social settings.

Muhammad Arsyad al-Banjari is hitherto known in the Malay world as a jurist of Shafi?i school of thought. Little has been known concerning his Sufi inclination and ideas. This paper is interested in investigating just that. By scrolling on his works and exploring the genealogy of his thought, this paper is interested in unraveling the Sufistic tendency that manifests in the thought of al-Banjari. The premise that underlies this paper is that the thought of al-Banjari on Sufism is deep-rooted in the 18th century Sufistic current of thought in Mekka. This current of thought is characterized by its persistence to reconcile Shari?ah and Tasawuf. Zakariyah al-Anshari was regarded as its foremost leader. He was of an Egyptian origin and wrote a book entitled Fath al-Rahman. Many of al-Banjari?s works including Kanz al-Ma?rifah that he wrote in the Javanese Arabic may be seen as both an annotation and commentary on Fath al-Rahman. A careful analysis on their works reveals an unmistakable intellectual link between the two. Both have worked within the perspective of Syari?ah and Tasawuf and are mainly interested in reconciling them. To their view, it is only by reconciling Syari?ah and Tasawuf that we may have a clear idea concerning the way (Shari?ah), the order (Tariqah) and the truth (Haqiqah) and the relationship between them. By virtue of his concern in integrating Syari?ah and Tasawuf, al-Banjari is known both as a jurist and a Sunni Sufi. He was also responsible for transferring the knowledge of Tasawuf and Jurisprudence from their authoritative sources in the Middle East to the people of Southern Kalimantan. His intellectual and social role has brought about a significance change in the social fabric of his society. It was in his hand that the inventive practices (bid?ah) and the religious mischief found in his society were finally eliminated and brushed away. This paper will explore these aspects of al-Banjari?s Sufism.

A new mode of religious conflict has emerged in Indonesia following the fall of the old regime in the country. The conflict in point is that between the fundamentalists and the liberals, one that means that the nuance of the conflict is no longer organizational any more than it is ideological. We now rarely hear about the conflicts between the traditionalists and the modernists, just as we now rarely are capable of differentiating their basic tenets. The difference between the two has now become to a large extent vague. In the meantime, conflicts are now taking place between the fundamentalists and the liberals on almost regular basis. Hence, we hear the conflict for example between the FUUI and Ulil Abshar Abdalla who received death threat from the afro-mentioned organization. And also the so-called Monas Tragedy, which for some reflects the real tension between the two currents of thought. This paper is designed to analyze this conflictual phenomenon and the implication that may emerge thereof by using the Poststructural theory, which is the continuation of the structuralist theory of Levi-Strauss. What we mean by the Post-structural theory is that which is developed by Michel Foucault (d. 1984) where he speaks of the archeology of knowledge and the genealogy of power. In Foucault?s theory, the former is to do with the organization of documents, their classification, their distribution and management in an orderly manner so as to enable us to differentiate between which are relevant and which are not. This theory is also about describing the so-called relations among elements of social phenomena. The latter in the meantime is to do with the analysis of the historical relationship between power and discourse. It concerns with the analysis of the trajectories of a discourse and its practices, and its relationship with what he calls the regime of truth that claims to have the pseudonaturalistic and global implication. This theory deals with the mode of relationship between these two domains. Hence, while this paper is mainly concerned with the religious thought, it is inevitably related to the notion of politics and power.

Sufism has evolved from time to time and from society to another by presenting itself in various forms and ways. By virtue of its tenets, Sufism has influenced many societies and different cultures. Sufis have played a significant role in their respective societies as religious mentors or else as political advisors. Many of them have otherwise stood in opposition to the political authority and proposed a better way of running the society. Across history, Sufism has shown itself as a dynamic and innovative social and religious force. In the final analysis, Sufism cannot be ignored as the major contributor to the structure of Islamic civilization. In the meantime, the social and religious malaises that we witness in modern time have called Sufism into play. Modernism has produced an unbalanced life, triggering the absolutistic way of life where a man is aware only of his physical dimension and ignoring his spiritual inner being. Here, Sufism can play its important role. The modern intellectual paradigm that puts more emphasis on empiricism and rationalism and produces as a result the positivistic mode of thinking has paved the way for Sufism to occur and recur as the dominant player in the domain of man-personality building. This paper is concerned with this issue and other related problems. Putting in mind that Sufism has its social dimension the paper believes that it has something to offer for modern men living in time of great uncertainty.

Historically speaking, the science of usul al-fiqh has not been able to play its role in providing solutions for the many social problems facing human kind. The reason for this lies in that this science does not have within its reservoir the theoretical tools relevant for the renewed human situations. One of the mistakes of this science furthermore is that it produces the jurists who are incapable of adapting to new circumstances. The paradigmatic mode of this science is such that one upon using its premises and methodscannot be analytical and would remain literal. In the other words, this science is very much bayani as opposed to burhani, that is rational and systematic, or irfani which is intuitive. The static nature of usul al-fiqh in the meantime has provoked many jurists to revolt against it and tried to bring about new methods and modes of thinking within it. Thus, we have at least two modes of thinking currently available as far as renewal of u??l al-fiqh is concerned. The first is what we may call utilitarian and the second is liberal. The former bases its theories and ideas on the notion of maslaha. This school of thought is mainly propagated by al-Shatibi. It claims that the whole purpose of Shar??ah is none other than for the good of human being. This general proposition underlies the whole theories that the proponents of this mazhab articulated. The second mode of thought, the liberal, claims that the traditional jurisprudence must be totally replaced by the new one. And to do this the liberals appropriates the hermeneutical approach to interpret the Islamic law according which the intrinsic relationship between the text and its context cannot be revealed through the literal understanding of the message of Islam. The literal approach has thus far failed and is unable to face the new circumstances. This mode of thinking is committed to what its proponents call the real Islamic values inherent within the text of religion. Nasr Hamid Abu Zaid is the staunchest propagator of this current of thought. He proposes new method for usul al-fiqh by criticizing both the classical and contemporary discourses using semiotics as the tools of analysis. In this way, he hopes that more humanist and adapting science of fiqh, one that can respond to our formidable contemporary challenges, may emerge.

The Qurānic Studies have long recognized the conceptual dichotomy of Makkīyah and Madanīyah where verses are classified as either belonging to the period of Makkah or Madinah. This paper suggests that this conceptual dichotomy may also be applied in the study of the science of the prophetic saying (hadīth). We propose that paradigm of the Qurānic Studies concerning the periodical distinction may be borrowed to understand and classify the prophetic sayings along the line of Makkīyah and Madanīyah. The paper however acknowledges this effort is not without methodological difficulties. There are hadīth that may ?in terms of their characteristics and substance- be regarded as Makkī, but may also be considered as Madani because they are narrated by the people of Madinah (the Ansār). To tackle this problem, we propose a double-way strategy. We will first find out which hadīths are regarded as Makk? in terms of their characteristics and substance, and then examine the idea of what many have called the ?argumentation of the prophetic term?. The first is about the thematic study, while the second is about the analysis of the term of a hadīth. The first will involve the consultation of mainly the hadīth authoritative book called Miftāh Kunūz al-Sunnah, while the second will consult those books that employ the personal-encyclopedic approach including books of hadīth, the sciences of the Qurān (tafsīr), the reason of revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), the reason of decreeing (asbāb al-wurūd), and the autobiography of the prophet (sīrah). The meaning of a hadīth and its appropriation in these books will be analyzed in the light of the science of hadīth. The paper will examine how different scientists of tafsir, hadīth, and so on would understand and interpret the same hadīth.

This paper first of all believes that the concept and theories of the science of the Quran may be appropriated to develop the science and method of dakwah. The old method of dakwah ?as it were- is concerned primarily with how the teachings of Islam and its tenets are to be propagated. The new method in the meantime one that we prefer- should rather focus on how these teachings may be understood by the objects of the dakwah. Hence understanding is the key. The paper further holds that these two methods old and new- are in fact interrelated and that their foundational legitimacies are to be found in the Quran. This paper will slightly touch on this. But a great portion of it will pay attention to the idea of the appropriation of the science of the Quran by the science of dakwah, one that we believe may open up a new horizon in dakwah activities and lead to a moderate, realistic and idealistic as opposed to liberalistic and fundamentalistform of dakwah.

Economic activities contain three parts, namely production, distribution, and consumption. This paper deals with the first one in the perspective of Islam. We maintain that at no point in human history was there any economic system that could successfully achieve an absolute happiness and wellbeing for human kind. Islamic system of economics included. Nonetheless, we argue that Islam consists of values and norms that may lead toward that end if they are properly and appropriately understood and applied. We do not find in Islam what we found in the conventional economic system where there are rooms for committing corruption and manipulation. For Islam, economic activities as far as production is concerned must be directed toward achieving the goodness and prosperity of all human kind, and not toward enriching certain individuals and groups among individuals.

Of the many sources for the study of Had?th and the science of law and legal arrangements (al-ahkam wa al-mawaid), Kitab Muntaqa al-Akhb?r by Majd al-D?n Abd al-Sal?m bin Abdullah bin Qasim better known as Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 652 H) is one of the most important. This book has been commented by al-Shawkani in a book called Nayl al-Aw?r where he employs the following methods. First, elaborating and commenting not of all hadiths but some them in each chapter of the book. Second, describing the narrators of the hadiths, their quality and personality. Third, providing the literal meaning of the had?ths he commented. Fourth, explaining the grammatical position of the vocabularies of the had?th. Fifth, highlighting the use and benefit of the had?th. Sixth, explaining the views of various ulama on a hadith. Seventh, extrapolating the legal rules of the had?th using the dictums of the usul al-fiqh. This paper is designed to discuss this. It holds that in providing the commentary of the hadith, al-Shawkani begins with the issue of how it was narrated (takhr?j), and ends up with extrapolating rules that may be learnt from it. The paper also believes that al-Shawk?n? is an objective scholar, who worked in the elaboration and commentary of the had?ths just for the sake of knowledge. The fact that he often offers a commentary against the legal position of his own school of thought indicates that al-Shawk?n? a person of academic integrity. The methods that he employs and the spirit behind his determination to provide commentary, all point to one thing of particular importance, that al-Shawk?n? is immune of fanaticism and imitation.
