Pada dekade tahun 1980-an, isu perayaan Natal bersama (common Christmas celebration) antara umat Kristiani dengan sebagian umat Islam mencuat ke permukaan dan menjadi masalah kontroversial di kalangan umat Islam. Para pemuka agama Islam (ulama') memperdebatkan tentang boleh tidaknya seorang Muslim mengikuti perayaan Natal bersama. Pertentangan tersebut timbul karena belum adanya ketetapan hukum Islam yang secara khusus mengatur peran Serta umat Islam dalam Perayaan Natal bersama. Untuk menjaga kemurnian akidah umat Islam, Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) mengeluarkan fatwa berkenaan dengan perayaan Natal bersama yang intinya mengharamkan umat Islam mengikuti upacara Natal bersama. Namun, fatwa tersebut justru mengundang reaksi dari berbagai kalangan. Reaksi keras muncul dari pemerintah Orde Baru yang pada saat itu sedang giat-giatnya mengkampanyekan Trilogi Kerukunan Beragama yang digagas oleh Menteri Agama, H. Alamsyah Ratuperwiranegara. Reaksi keras dari pemerintah tersebut akhirnya mendorong Prof. Dr. HAMKA mengundurkan diri dari jabatan ketua umum MUI. Di samping reaksi dari pemerintah, reaksi terhadap fatwa juga muncul dari umat Islam sendiri secara perorangan baik yang bernada positif (mendukung) maupun yang bernada negatif dan skeptif. Fatwa MUI ini secara nyata merefleksikan hubungan antara umat Islam dan umat Kristiani yang mengalami fluktuasi dari masa ke masa.

Dalam al-Qur'an terdapat banyak cerita (kisah) yang terjadi jauh sebelum al-Qur'an diturunkan seperti kisah tentang rasul-rasul dan ummatnya sejak Adam hingga Muhammad. Para mufassir klasik seperti Tabari sering menceritakan secara detail kisah-kisah tersebut yang berdasarkan tidak hanya pada al-Qur'an, tapi lebih pada riwayat-riwayat. Masing-masing kisah sering mempunyai beberapa versi lengkap sebagaimana kisah-kisah Israiliyat. Berbeda dengan mufassir klasik, para mufassir modem cenderung tidak menceritakan secara lengkap cerita-cerita tersebut. Mereka mencoba untuk memahami bagian-bagian penting dari kisah-kisah tersebut dan menginterpretasikan nilai-nilai yang terkandung di dalam kisah tersebut dalam konteks modern ini. Artikel ini mencoba untuk melihat pendekatan dua mufassir modem, yaitu Muhammad'Abduh dan 'A'ishah 'Abd al-Rahman Bint al-Shati', dalam Mengitepretasikan kisah kaum 'Ad, Thamud dan Fir'aun dalam al-Qur'an.

The hardest economic problem faced by human being is the instability or the fluctuation of prices. This phenomenon is closely related to inflation, i.e., the uprising of prices continuously, or the decrease of the value of a currency toward goods and services. As an example, someone borrowed to someone else as much as 1 million rupiahs and returned it back two years later with the same amount. Due to the inflation during that period, the value of 1 million rupiahs in the time of transaction is very different from that in the time of return. This problem has been becoming one of the polemics among fuqaha, either in the medieval era or in the modern one. This article is trying to observe the problem more objective without relying on a certain school of Islamic jurisprudence (madhhab), and providing the best ijtihad derived from certain fuqaha. Some considerations to decide which would be the best ijtihad are the arguments on which the fuqaha’s based on their decision. Besides, the writer also takes into account some norms of Islamic jurisprudence: taysir (to take it easily) and 'adamul haraj (to exclude obstacles). Finally, the writer offers some discussion on the issue among contemporary fuqaha.

Sejak ijtihad dinyatakan ditutup oleh para ulama pada abad pertengahan, berbagai fenomena taqlid menjadi dominan di negara negara Muslim. Hal ini pulalah yang kemudian ikut berperan dalam menjadikan terpuruknya negara-negara Muslim, baik secara sosial maupun politik. Shah Wali Allah yang kita kenal sebagai pembaharu Islam di India, ternyata memulai pembaharuannya di bidang Fiqh. Pemerintahan Mughal India oleh Shah Alam Bahadur Shah, anaknya Awrangzeb, mengalami masa krisis sehingga banyak terjadi konflik yang menyebabkan kemunduran Islam dalam percaturan politik. Shah Wali Allah akhirnya tampil dan melakukan banyak pembaharuan, terutama pembaharuan pemikiran dalam Islam. Di antara pembaharuan Shah Wali Allah yang terkenal adalah dibukanya ijtihad untuk menghilangkan berbagai taqlid yang ada pada umat Islam. Artikel ini berusaha untuk melihat lebih dekat pada konsep ijtihad dan taqlid yang ditawarkan oleh Shah Wali Allah. Selain itu, akan dilihat pula latar belakang sosial dan politik yang sangat berpengaruh terhadap konsep-konsep pembaharuan Shah Wali Allah.

As an Institution of an Islamic higher education, until nowadays IAIN Sunan Kalijaga is still consistent with the study of Islam in the literalistic (wahyiyyah) ways. In the mean time, undeniably, society, knowledge and technology have undergone some significant development. The growth of society, knowledge and technology could not be separated from the development of IAIN itself; the development of IAIN should accommodate to the progress of society, knowledge and technology. However, all above remains idealism for IAIN. In other words, the academic doers of IAIN do not master knowledge and technology yet. This paper is trying to elaborate the fundamental principle of the development of IAIN which covers ideology, epistemology, and the paradigm of Islamic education.

Arabic (language) is not something new for Indonesian Muslims. Arabic came along with the arrival of Islam in Nusantara. Since then, Indonesian Muslims learn Arabic in various pesantrens, either traditional or modern one. Although Islam has undergone some major developments in its substance and teachings, Arabic has not undergone such major progress. In other words, most pesantrens still employ classical methods in teaching the Arabic. Few pesantrens, however, have developed their methods of Arabic teaching, particularly modern pesantrens such as Pondok Modem Gontor. According to the writer, it is interesting to study these phenomena by viewing some advantages and disadvantages of employing the new methods of Arabic learning. By taking into account of some significant developments in the teaching methods generally, this article is trying to offer an alternative method of Arabic teaching in a way that Indonesian Muslims could learn Arabic easily.

Buku yang ditulis oleh Dave Meier ini muncul antara lain terinspirasi oleh pengalaman di lapangan ketika berlangsung sebuah pelatihan bagi para trainer di perusahaan semikonduktor terkemuka Amerika Serikat. Ketika itu ada salah seorang peserta pelatihan, David, yang harus meninggalkan kegiatan tersebut karena ada panggilan darurat via telpon bahwa dia harus menggantikan salah seorang pembicara yang berhalangan hadir pada prograrn orientasi satu minggu di tempat lain. Ia dianggap sebagai orang yang paling mungkin menggantikan pembicara tersebut, padahal ia sama sekali belum punya persiapan bahan yang harus dipresentasikan, misalnya hand out Materi yang harus dia sampaikan adalah tentang keselamatan kerja, yang merupakan materi terakhir, selama satu setengah jam. Sebagai seorang pelatih, sambil berjalan menuju ke lokasi pelatihan ia membuat rencana. Ia ingat pada salah satu prinsip dari Accelerated Learning, yakni "learning is creation not consumption. "
