IMPLEMENTATION OF ZUHD IN THE ISLÂH MOVEMENT OF SHAYKH ABDUL QADIR AL-JILANI (D. 561 H./1161 CE.) Nur Hadi Ihsan1, Moh. Isom Mudin2, Amir Sahidin3 1, 2, 3Universitas Darussalam (UNIDA) Gontor, Ponorogo, Indonesia Jl. Raya Siman No.Km. 6, Dusun I, Siman, Kec. Siman, Kabupaten Ponorogo, Jawa Timur 63471 E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: The issue of zuhd is very urgent to deal with, especially in the current era of modernization which has had negative impacts in all fields; in education, social, political, and cultural. Therefore, an islâh movement is needed to minimize and even eliminate these negative impacts. Among the Sufi scholars who were very persistent in implementing the islâh movement was Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani. At a time when there was a lot of depravity and shocks in his time, al-Jilani with his zuhd was able to play a good role in this islâh movement. Therefore, this article will specifically discuss the implementation of zuhd in the islâh movement of Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani. Using the descriptive-analytical method, this study finds that the implementation of zuhd in the islâh movement of al-Jilani includes three things, namely in interpreting the true meaning and understanding of zuhd; in education and teaching, as well as in his lectures and preaching. Thus, al-Jilani was one of the Sufi scholars who integrated the teaching of zuhd with his islâh movements. Finally, it seems justifiable to assert that integrating zuhd with the islâh movement is very important to overcome the destructive impacts of modernization. -

The Nature of Riba in Islam
THE NATURE OF RIBA IN ISLAM By: M. Umer Chapra1 Abstrak Perdebatan masalah riba seperti tidak pernah selesai di diskusikan oleh banyak kalangan, baik akademis, organisasi keagamaan, bahkan sampai pada forum-forum intenasional. Beberapa terminologi dibahas dengan baik dalam tulisan ini yang dimulai dengan pelarangan riba itu sendiri kemudian pembagian-pembagian riba, diantaranya riba al-Nasi’ah dan riba al-Fadl, serta implikasi dari dua bentuk riba tersebut. Pembahasan didukung dengan pendapat-pendapat para ulama dan ekonom yang merujuk langsung dari ayat-ayat al-Qur’an, sampai pada perdebatan hukum. Demikian juga al-Qur’an sangat jelas membedakan antara riba dan perdagangan, namun pelarangan riba sangat jelas bahkan diperkuat dengan hadits-hadits yang dengan eksplisit melarang riba. Dijelaskan pula tentang perbedaan antara riba dan bunga bank. Islam sangat menentang bunga bank karena Islam berharap terjadinya sistem ekonomi yang mengeliminasi seluruh bentuk ketidakadilan dengan memperkenalkan keadilan antara pengusaha dan pemilik modal, yaitu berbagi resiko dan berbagi hasil. ŭ ΊņĨŧ Ώ 1 ΎỲŏΉė ΞΊẂ ĤΣΔĜŧ ΔΩė ĥ ĜẃΐĨľė Έ΅ Ή ģŊΜūΕ╬ė ĥ ĜΡĜỳΉė ΎΙā ŋķā ĤΡŊĜųĨ⅝Ϋė – ĤΣẂĜΐĨį Ϋė ĤΉėŋẃΉė ŋẃħ ĥ ĜẃΐĨĴ ΐΊΉ ĤĢŧ ΕΉĜġΛ .ĤΡĜỳΉė ΖōΙ ⅜Σ⅞ĸĨΉ ĤẃĢĨ╬ė ĥ ĜΣĴ ΣħėŏĨŦΫė ∟ ĥ ĜẃΐĨľė Ίħ ╚ġ ‛ άĨŅė ŊΜį Λ ΒΏ ĤΣĴ ΣħėŏĨŦΫė Ίħ ŏŲĜΕẂ ŋķā ΞΊẂ ⅜₤ėΜħ Ĥ╤ ªΌάŦΩėΛ ĤΣΔėŏųΕΉėΛ ĤΡŊΜΚΣΉėΛ ĤΣŦΛŋΕ▀ė ŭ ŅΧė ΞΊẂΛ ªĤΣΕΡŋΉė Η╠ė ŋ⅝ ⌠ΛΧė ĤīάĬΉė ĥ ĜΔĜΡŋΉė ẀĜĢħā ΒΏ ♥ė╙Ģ΄ ♥ĜĢΔĜį ΑĜ΄ ėŌċΛ .ŊΜ⅞ΕΉė Ŵėŏ⅝ċ ΒẂ ĤΊųĸĨ╬ė ģŋĕĜ℮Ήė ┐ŏ╡ ΜΙΛ ĜΏ ΑĈġ ĤΉŊĜľė ΑΜΉΛĜ► ΝŏŅΧė ĥ ĜΔĜΡŋΉė ẀĜĢħĈġ ΠŦĈĨΉė ∟ ╚ĢỲėŏΉė ╚ΐΊŧ ╬ė -
An Introduction to Collective Ijtihad (Ijtihad Jama‘I): Concept and Applications
An Introduction to Collective Ijtihad (Ijtihad Jama‘i): Concept and Applications Aznan Hasan Abstract This article explores the concept of collective ijtihad as a means of determining new judicial judgments. Accordingly, it analyzes the theoretical framework of this kind of ijtihad and its applica- tion by discussing the various institutions that practice it. In gen- eral, this article seeks to present this as a practical mechanism for ascertaining the Shari‘ah’s opinion concerning the Muslim ummah on a variety of current issues. At the outset, it will pre- sent briefly the controversy concerning the closure of the gate of ijtihad, for this kind of ijtihad relies heavily upon our recogni- tion that, throughout the history of Islamic law, jurists have never abandoned the task of ijtihad. The Controversy Surrounding the Theory of the Closure of the Gate of Ijtihad In his introduction, Joseph Schacht asserted that Islamic law is no longer relevant to modern life, due to its inflexibility and consequent inability to meet the constant changes therein. He stated further that the nature of Islamic law’s unchanging principles had inevitably resulted in this situa- tion. At the time of the classical jurists, although the nature of the system was the same, those involved in legal matters found a remedy for Islamic Aznan Hasan has a B.A. (Hons.) from al-Azhar, an M.A. from Cairo University, and is cur- rently working on his Ph.D. in Islamic law at the University of Wales, Lampeter, England.

Textiles Under Mughals
Chapter V Textiles under Mughals- The advent of the Mughal dynasty gave an undeniable boost to production of the up-market textile, as to other craft. Textiles are singled out for mentioned by Abul Fazl, the minister and biographer of Akbar (1556-1605), in his Ain-i-Akbari, compile in the 1590‟s as a subject in which the emperor took particular interest. Akbar favoured woollen garment – the chosen wear of Sufis (Muslim mystics) – „from his indifference to everything that is worldly‟ in preference to the richer stuffs. His penchant for wool is also indicated by the steps he took to improve shawl manufacture; especially in the relation to dyes and width of fabric.1 Ain-i- Akbari goes into fascinating details on the manner of classifying garments in the imperial wardrobe (toshkhana). The textiles were arranged according to the date of entry which was recorded, sometime with other information, on a label tacked on to the piece (practice which survived in provision toshkhana into the 20th century). Price, colour and weight were also taken into account. Within these boundaries, textile took precedence according to the nature of the day, astrologically auspicious or otherwise on which they were received. A further refinement took into account the colours, of which thirty five are listed in the order of precedence. Abul Fazl further records that imperial workshops had been set up in the cities of Lahore, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Ahmedabad, where the best of the local craftsmen were requisitioned to supply the needs of the court.2 Persian masters were brought in to teach improved techniques. -
As-Sifat Al-Khbriya) Between Denial and Proof Are a New Vision
Journal of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology ISSN: 1007-6735 Informative Qualities (As-Sifat Al-Khbriya) Between Denial And Proof Are A New Vision Assistant Professor Dr. Mohammed Mohsin Radhi University of Anbar / College of Islamic Sciences Research Summary Informative qualities(As-Sifat Al-Khbriya) between denial and proof are a new vision Assistant Professor Dr. Mohammed Mohsin Radhi University Of Anbar / College Of Islamic Sciences This is the study deals with the knowledge of what is meant by informativeattributes and the doctrines of Islamic sects. It gives views and solutions to the dispute in this matter to reach a new vision. The most prominent results are: 1. Informative qualities: are words added to God Almighty, which may have the meaning of simile and anthropomorphism, Such as hand, eye, face, soul, coming, the accessories of that include prejudice, direction, movement, transition and disappearance, and the way to prove it is what is mentioned inQuran and Sunnah. 2. The Islamic sects on this issue are divided into three schools: the firstis the doctrine of proof with analogy and anthropomorphism. The second is the doctrine of interpretation. The thirdis the doctrine of proof with deanthropomorphism and authorization. 3. Thefirst of these words in terms of adding them to the Almighty Godis not to discusstoo muchfor God Almighty has the knowledge of them. We do not say are the qualities, nor we deny it too; because the texts are not conclusive in indicating the descriptive one. The lack of realization of the proper fit is between it and God Almighty. Otherwise, it is possible to interpret the verses that included these words and interpret them according to the general context in which they are mentioned. -
