Online survey methods were used to investigate the proposed hypothesis. 318 responses were used for further analysis. Forty-six reflective constructs were adapted from literature and designed by using a five-point Likert scale to facilitate measurement. Estimation models and structural models were examined through SEM-PLS analysis techniques using SmartPLS 3.0 application as the data processing tool. The results showed that religiosity and halal awareness had a positive and significant effect on attitude toward halal labels, including the mediating effect from consumer attitudes towards halal labels which had a positive but insignificant effect on purchase intention. Halal awareness plays an important role for Muslims in the decision- making process for purchasing food. In contrast to the initial hypothesis, the country of origin actually did not have a positive effect on attitudes towards the halal label. In a Muslim-majority country like Indonesia, findings halal food is not difficult, so this research basically is a reminder to marketers to follow those halal principles in implementing their marketing strategies.

    JIHAD MENURUT IBN KATHĪR DI DALAM TAFSĪR AL-QUR’ĀN AL-‘AẒĪM Anggi Wahyu Ari1 Abstrak Ini adalah penelitian tentang isu yang sensitif (Jihad) dilihat dari sudut pandang Ibn Kathir sebagai seorang ulama yang memakai metodologi tradisional-klasik di dalam penafsirannya. Penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa ketika ayat-ayat jihad di dalam Alquran bi al-ma’thur ditafsirkan dengan cara periwayatan ( ) ia tidak akan memiliki makna yang cenderung kepada kekerasan dan doktrin. Penelitian ini membantah pendapat orientalis seperti H.TH Obbrink dan Martin Van Creveld yang menyatakan bahwa ajaran jihad di dalam Islam merupakan perang suci yang bertujuan untuk membunuh orang-orang kafir, sehingga Islam memberikan hak kepada umatnya untuk membunuh penduduk kafir yang ditaklukinya apabila mereka menolak masuk Islam. pendapat ini senada dengan pendapat Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyah dan Sayyid Qutb. Sebaliknya penelitian ini mendukung pendapat para pakar seperti Jerald F Diks, Abdul Karim Zaidan, dan Abdul Maqsith Ghazali yang menyatakan bahwa Islam tidak disebarkan melalui perperangan, dan perang dalam Islam bersifat sangat kondisional. Kata Kunci : Jihad, Ibn Katsir, Perang Suci, Al-Qur’an Pendahuluan Istilah jihad merupakan istilah yang amat popular dalam kurun waktu yang cukup panjang, lebih-lebih pasca runtuhnya WTC (World Trade Center) dan meletusnya aksi terorisme di berbagai tempat. Bernard lewis secara khusus memberikan catatan terhadap masalah jihad sebagai perang suci dan teror yang tidak suci yang dilakukan teroris, menurut Bernard Lewis, jihad yang di kampanyekan oleh kaum Wahabi merupakan cikal bakal munculnya terorisme di Dunia Islam.2 1 Penulis adalah Mahasiswa Pascasarjana UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta The Crisis Of Islam : Holy War And Unholy Terror, 2 Bernard Lewis, (London: weindenfeld and Nicolson, 2003), 129.

The existing laws show that there exists non-dissidence in determining the position of children which conflicts with syariah crime. The term young offender was duly provided in the shariah procedural enactment but not in states’ shariah criminal law. Similarly, the term ‘baligh’ was defined and the position of non-baligh children was elucidated in the said law but not under the shariah procedural enactment. Hence, this articles serves to lay down the provisions of both enactments concerned and to compared them with the shariah criminal principles in terms of ascertainment of age and the position of children which are in conflict with the shariah criminal law through the ulama and Islamic fuqaha’s standpoint.

    The Halalan Toyyibah Concept In The Al-Qur'an Perspective And Its Application With Food Products In Indonesia Irma Fatmawati Social Sains Faculty Unversitas Pembangunan Panca Budi Universitas Pembangunan Panca Budi, Medan, Indonesia Email – [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Qur'an provides information that food for humans and animals is already available on Earth but requires effort before being eaten. In addition, people are told to eat food that is lawful and good (Toyib) with no excess, or exceeding limits. Halal in terms of searching, picking and collecting it, and not in an illegal way. Q.S. Al-Baqarah (2): 168 explains: "O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.”. With regard to the food that is "Halalan Toyyiban" (halal and good) which have been mentioned above, it is also mentioned in Q.S. Al-Maidah (5): 88 as follows: "And eat of what Allah has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And fear Allah, in whom you are believers.” In that verse Allah commands to eat the halal and good sustenances which He has given. What is meant by "halal" in this verse is synonymous with the meaning mentioned in verse 168 of Al-Baqarah, i.e. halal things and halal ways of obtaining them. Whereas "thayyib" (good) is in terms of its usefulness which are: beneficial to the body, contains nutrients, vitamins, proteins and others that suit the needs of a person's body.

  • Prayer/Salat
    Practices - Prayer/Salat Key Words Monotheism Tawhid Sawm Transcendence Zakat Rakat Immanence Beneficence Du’ah Shahadah Hajj Shirk Sadaqah Qur’an Mihrab Salat Muezzin Qiblah Omnipotence Adhan Sunnah Allah (99 names) Islam Minaret Merciful Halal Hadith Prayer/Salat Salat The Adhan is the call to prayer and includes the Shahadah. It is the equivalent of church bells calling people to prayer in Christianity. Muslims should try and pray in a mosque and they should do this five times a day. If they are away from the mosque they can pray at home or use prayer mats as long as they are praying in the direction of Mecca. Apps may be used that help Muslims locate the direction of Mecca and remind them of prayer times and more traditionally, a compass may be used. In the mosque a Muslim must remove their shoes and perform a ritual act of washing (wudu) before entering the prayer room. This involves washing their face, arms, and feet. This physical cleanliness should be reflected by an inner spirituality that is ready for prayer. This is known as ‘niyyah’. The muezzin calls Muslims to prayer from the minaret (a tower that most mosques have). Traditionally, the muezzin would climb the minaret but, nowadays, he uses speakers that are attached to the side of the minaret. The muezzin calls the faithful by chanting the adhan. Friday prayers are the most important. They are called ‘Jummah’ (Arabic for ‘Friday’). In addition to the usual prayers the imam (prayer leader) will preach a sermon, usually based on a passage from the Qur’an.
