Sharī'ah has always been deemed as an integral part of Muslims life. As a binding and commanding divine law, Sharī'ah has in other words been internalized in the being and existence of Muslims through their obedience and regular practice. The question that this paper tries to answer is whether Sharī'ah is divine and transcendent, or is it evolving from being transcendent to becoming mere ideas and legal dictum of the ulama? To delve into this question the paper begins by saying that any legal formulation does stem from observation of social reality. Given the changing nature of social reality ?we argue- the product of legal extrapolation does exhibit some form of evolution. We further argue that so long as the heart of the divine law is human interest (maṣlaṣah) both worldly and heavenly, harī'ah cannot escape from the law of evolution considering that the interest of the vast span of humanity differs from one setting to another. That is why many jurists speak of the Maqasid al-Sharī'ah (the aims of harī'ah) implying that harī'ah does evolve given the multiplicity of these aims. Simply speaking, the paper is directed toward proving that harī'ah cannot be seen as stagnant and that it is subjected?like any other forms of knowledge?to the law of evolution.

Gender discourse does present particular problems within Muslim societies mainly for three reasons, (1) the strong presence of patriarchal culture within Muslim society (2) the strong literal tendency in interpreting religious texts, and (3) the strong sense of animosity toward the Western culture. There is a few however among Muslims in Indonesia who are willing to negotiate with gender issues not as a discourse but as a practical principles that should rather be applied in our daily life. For this group of people patriarchal culture and literal interpretation of religious texts are problematic. This group thinks that the idea of gender equality is an inherent part of Islam and must therefore be accepted. Among this few is the students of Ma?had Aly in the East Javanese town of Situbondo. These students are concerned with implementation issues of gender equality rather than with debating this problem as a discourse. This paper explores the ideas of these students and relates them with the general debate that takes place on the national level concerning the issue of gender equality.

Shaikh Muhammad Arshad al-Banjari, the 18th century scholar of Banjar has been known as a leading jurist of his time in Indonesia and in the whole South East Asia. In this paper we are interested in exposing his jurisprudential thought by referring to the cultural, social and intellectual milieus that shaped his thought. The paper is particularly interested in discussing his views on the notion of mustahiq, those who deserve to alms (zakah), and the notion of disputed wealth. The former is elaborated in his Sabil al-Muhtad?n and the latter in his al-Farid.

The philosophy of Islamic Law (u??l al-fiqh) has been known as occupying the central position in the whole structure of Islamic jurisprudence. Its method and logic of legal extrapolation has dominated not only the legal sphere of the jurists but also influenced the philosophers and the scholastics in their method and way of thinking. U??l al-fiqh is mainly deductive in its approach and is concerned with the analysis of linguistics. Now with the developments of new methods in legal and linguistic studies, many scholars have attempted to introduce new way of interpreting Islamic law by bringing up hermeneutics as the main tool. Hermeneutics is about interpreting text by taking into consideration the cultural and personal backgrounds of the author. It also teaches that in reading a text, a reader must be neutral in that he should not have in mind an a priori knowledge and assumption about the subject. This paper is concerned with exploring the dynamics of both u??l al-fiqh and hermeneutics in the context of developing the Islamic Law in contemporary life.

In this paper we are concerned with elaborating the critiques of Ibn Jawzi against the ulama of his time in his Talbis Iblis. By the ulama Ibn Jawzi means the learned in any field of knowledge such as Qur??nic reading (qira?ah), prophetic tradition (hadith), jurisprudence (fiqh), language, letter, and the art of speech (khitabah). We will analyze the motif behind Ibn Jawzi?s warning to the ulama that they can ?by virtue of their knowledge- be manipulated by the Satan. Not all knowledge is therefore good. Hence, we are interested in exposing the nature of knowledge in Ibn Jawzi?s concept and what are the kinds of knowledge that may lead to Satanic manipulation. The paper will also discuss Ibn Jawzi?s advice to the ulama so that they may not fall victim in the trap of the Satan.

Critical studies of ḥadīth do not always aim at arguing against the legitimacy of ḥadīth as one of the sources of Islamic Law. Nor do it doubt ?like many orientalist would do- the authenticity of the ḥadīth as a source of Islamic teaching. Critical studies of ḥadīth are about investigating the accuracy and validity of the narration chain. Considering that many ḥadīths take a long period of time before they are being narrated, inaccuracy might have taken place in that process. Therefore a critique is needed. In the context of contemporary life, a critique is even more needed especially that which looks at ḥadīth in terms of its relation with modern science, technology, gender issues, human rights, freedom of expression, and so on. This paper discusses the notion of the critical studies of ḥadīth in contemporary life by focusing on four issues (1) the cognitive foundation of the studies, (2) the objects of the critique, (3) the necessity of the critique, and (4) the normative standards of the critique.

This paper deals with the development of the term madhhab in the history of Islamic law. As a vital concept in Islamic law, the meaning of madhhab has undergone several changes. At first, it was related only to a personal opinion of a mujtahid. Then it was related to a view of ulama belonging to a particular school of thought, and finally it is understood as a doctrinal opinion with distinctive legal concepts and methodologies controlled by the authority of the ulama who occupy the axis of the madhhab hierarchy. Some madhhabs have gone extinct due to their irrelevant concepts, but some others managed to survive due to their ability to make a ?great synthesis? between reason and revelation, text and context. Some of these surviving madhhabs have even become the official madhhab of a Muslim state and made obvious contribution in the formation of Islamic law in that particular country. It is to this issue that this paper is mainly concerned with.

This paper basically argues that the many social problems that we are now faced are in fact product of the system of our religious education. The educational system of our Madrasas has not thus far shown its ability to address the spiritual needs of our students. This resulted in students absorbing the physical and at best the intellectual dimension of education by ignoring the moral and behavioral aspects of it. On this ground ?the paper argues- the system of our religious education must be revisited and reevaluated. Such system must not only indoctrinate students to learn about heaven, hell, what is lawful and lawful, belief and infidelity and the like, but must also teach them about tolerance, understanding and other social values. Our religious education must teach students conceptual knowledge but also educate them about how to respect others and live in a plural society. It is about these that this paper is concerned with. It is about the scheme of religious education for pluralism or multiculturalism.

The aim of this paper is simply to describe the content of a book by Abu Bakr Muhammad Ibn Ishaq Ibn Khuazaymah al-Nisaburi al-Shafi?i called Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah. The book deals mainly with the tradition of the prophet. A deeper analysis on the book however reveals that it also contains a fairly good exposition of fiqh and its general rules. In this paper we would try to unlock this aspect of the book and find out how the discursive interaction between hadith and fiqh takes place in it. Our approach is critical in that it will question the validity of some hadith under investigation. We believe that not all hadiths in the book are valid and authentic.

Many High Schools (Aliyah) in Indonesia are faced with one of the following problems: low operational expenditure, poor human resources, unsettled contract with the teachers, small number of the teachers, and poor facilities. This paper tries to speak of the practical ways to come to terms with such problems. These practical ways -some of which are related to money- are in fact ideals. These ideals in one way or another are the foundations for the practical problems that our schools face. By ideals we mean such values as determination, discipline, and right vision for the school. The paper argues that money is not a magic stick that may solve all problems. he key is that all elements of school must use the best they have to realize the best they want to achieve. Practical problems may be solved by ideals, obsessions and dreams. In a country where money is rare, the vision and orientation of our education should change the character of the educated from being money-oriented to ideals-oriented.
