But as three of the interviewees insisted on maintaining their anonymity, I have changed their names accordingly. Throughout the book I have used local spellings whenever I could. This applies to all quotations from interviews as well as local textual sources, which accounts for some of the discrepancies between the spellings in Bahasa Malaysia and Bahasa Indonesia, which are not entirely similar and/or consistent in some cases. Glossary Ahli Kitab: people of the book; refers to Jews, Christians and Muslims who belong to the same Abrahamic tradition Ansor (Arabic = ansar): helpers, volunteers: Muslims who volunteer their time and energy to work in the name of Islam. The term was first ap- plied to those Muslims who volunteered to help the Prophet Muham- mad in his work to propagate the teachings of Islam Akidah: creed Batin: the inner, esoteric dimension of meaning Dzikir: remembrance of God; a ritual of uttering the names of God as an act of remembrance Fakir: beggar, mendicant Fakir miskin: the poor and destitute Fardu: religious duty Fiqh: Islamic jurisprudence Guru: teacher Hajj: the pilgrimage to Mecca. Haji refers to those who have performed the pilgrimage to Mecca Halal: that which is sanctioned in Islam Haram: that which is forbidden in Islam Hijab: Veil. In the tradition of Islamic mysticism, the hijab also refers to the veil between apparent reality and the truth of God Hukum: judgement. In Bahasa Malaysia and Bahasa Indonesia, it also means to pronounce judgement on others Ijtihad: to exercise rational judgement in the process of interpreting reli- gious doctrine and law Ijma: consensus Ijtima: gathering. In Tablighi circles, the Ijtima refers to the gathering of members of the movement. Some of the grand gatherings of the Ta- blighis may involve the meeting of tens of thousands of Tablighis at a given location Imam: leader Iman: faith Islam: submission to the will and commandments of God Jihad: to struggle. Scholars have noted that in Muslim history there has always been a distinction between the greater Jihad (Jihad Akbar) – which is the struggle against one’s own ego – and the lesser Jihad (Ji- had Asgar), which is the struggle that takes place in society Kafir: unbeliever, non-Muslim. Jews and Christians, though regarded as people of the book (Ahli Kitab), are nonetheless regarded as unbeliev- ers too Kalimat Thayyibah: verses from the Quran that specifically refer to the concept of the oneness of God Kalimat Tasbihat: verses from the Quran that are often recited during dzikir practices as a means of remembering the eternal presence of God Karkun: a term often used in Indonesia and parts of Malaysia to refer to Tablighis who have spent time out on missionary tours (khuruj) Kepiah (Malaysia): a skullcap, normally made of light cotton, that covers the top of the head but leaves the hair on the back of the head ex- posed. Spelled kopiah in Indonesia Khuruj: the practice of going out into the world for days, weeks or months in order to bring the message of the Tablighi Jama’at to other Muslims. In Indonesia and Malaysia, khuruj is also sometimes referred to as tashkil Kopiah (Indonesia): a skullcap, normally made of light cotton, that cov- ers the top of the head but leaves the hair on the back of the head exposed. Spelled kepiah in Malaysia. Ma’aruf: the common good Madrasah: religious school; a school where religious classes are taught Markaz: base, station, camp.

    from: Frithjof Schuon: Messenger of the Perennial Philosophy ISBN: 978-1-935493-08-2 from the free Online Library at http://www.frithjofschuon.com/ 11. At Variance with Guénon In my early youth, my salvation was Shrī Shankara, and with him, spiritual virtue; And so I was able to learn: only inspiration, And not vain thinking, can give Wisdom. Then came the notion of tradition: Only the sacred may carry the sacred. All this Guénon wrote in his works with great diligence And zeal. But much still remained to be said!1 Frithjof Schuon always respected the metaphysical and conceptual frame- work articulated by René Guénon, whose writings were particularly important to him at the time when he was beginning to formulate his own perspective. Starting in 1939 and continuing throughout the rest of his life, Schuon delved into many subjects that Guénon never considered or only touched upon lightly, including Buddhism and American Indian spiritu- ality, sacred art in its diverse forms, and, especially, the operative aspects of spiritual realization—prayer of the heart and the human virtues. Martin Lings, who was Guénon’s personal assistant in Cairo during the 1940s, later expressed an observation that first became apparent in these years: “There is nothing in Guénon that is not to be found in Schuon. There is much in Schuon that is not to be found in Guénon.”2 When, after the war, com- munication could be resumed between Guénon in Cairo and Schuon in Lausanne, Guénon was generally supportive of Schuon’s point of view on these subjects and particularly appreciative of Schuon’s interest in American Indian spirituality.

Surabaya sebagai ibukota provinsi Jawa Timur, Indonesia dengan penduduk metropolisnya yang 10 mencapai 3 juta jiwa. Surabaya merupakan pusat bisnis, perdagangan, industri dan pendidikan di kawasan timur. Surabaya juga terkenal dengan sebutan Kota Pahlawan karena sejarahnya yang sangat diperhitungkan dalam perjuangan merebut kemerdekaaan bangsa Indonesia dari penjajah. Secara geografis, Surabaya terletak di tepi pantai utara provinsi Jawa Timur. Wilayahnya berbatasan dengan Selat Madura di utara dan timur, Kabupaten Sidoarjo di Selatan, serta kabupaten Gresik di Barat.11 Pada abad ke-15 Islam mulai menyebar dengan pesat di Surabaya. Salah satu anggota wali sanga yaitu Sunan Ampel yang membangun masjid disana dan mendirikan perkampungan sehingga mayoritas penduduk di sekitar Ampel adalah Islam.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • Islamic Ethics in Australian Muslim Everyday Life: a Shi’Ite Perspective Mohamad Younes
    Islamic Ethics in Australian Muslim Everyday Life: A Shi’ite Perspective Mohamad Younes Master’s Thesis in Sociology Spring Term 2017 Humanities and Communication Arts Western Sydney University 1 17481784 Mohamad Younes 2 17481784 Mohamad Younes ABSTRACT Despite the strong emphasis on ethics within the Islamic tradition, Islamic ethics itself is scarcely represented as a discipline within academic scholarship (Ansari 1989). Even within this area, Islamic ethics have predominantly been studied from Sunni perspectives, with little attention being paid to Shi’ite or other minority understandings. This thesis will, therefore, use qualitative data collection methods of semi-structured in-depth interviews and focus groups, to sociologically study the perceptions, understandings, and applications of Islamic ethics in Australian Shi’ite Muslim everyday living. It will investigate the overarching understanding of Islamic ethics and its specific application in Australian Shi’ite Muslim context. The project's objective, therefore, is twofold: one to strengthen Islamic ethics as an independent discipline; and two to address the scant attention Shi’ite Islamic ethics has received in Islamic ethics scholarship generally. Conceptually, this project will contribute to the understanding of Islamic ethics through a particular analysis of Shi’ite Islamic ethics in an Australian Shi’ite context. This is significant as specific understandings of Islamic ethics in certain contexts help to explain how minority groups such as Shi’ite Muslims develop their own ethical standards to shape social relations in society. In addition, this thesis argues for Shi’ite Islamic ethics to be highly Imamate based; that is, very reliant on the actions and sayings of 12 divinely guided Imams (leaders).

Guru Besar Davidson and his students should be commended on their excellent portrayal of the art. Tape 1 is available to the general public, but due to the intense nature of tape 2 you must be a student. It is with great sadness that I must report that Guru William F. Birge passed away.

  • Management Planning and Implementation of the Scholarship Program 5000 Doctor of UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya
    Management Planning and Implementation of the Scholarship Program 5000 Doctor of UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya Saridudin {[email protected]} Center for Religious and Religious Education Religious Research, Development and Training Agency, Ministry of Religious Affairs Abstract. This study aims to describe management planning and implementation of the 5000 doctor Scholarship program for the Ministry of Religion at State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel Surabaya. The method used in this study is qualitative. The results showed that the 5000 doctoral program scholarship planning management at State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel Surabaya had not yet proceeded according to the desired plan, because there were still many students who had not graduated according to the desired target, namely three years or 6 semesters. In terms of implementation, this scholarship program is in great demand by lecturers who teach at Private Islamic Universities, it is not an attractive magnet for lecturers who teach at State Islamic Universities. Postgraduate of State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel Surabaya has a superior Doctoral program namely Dirasah Islamiyah or Islamic Studies which develops Islamic studies with interdisciplinary approaches and social theories with an emphasis on contemporary issues such as human rights, gender, and democracy. This study recommends that the Ministry of Religion need to make special efforts so that this scholarship program is in great demand by lecturers not only from Private Islamic Religious Colleges but from State Islamic Religious Colleges. The strategy, for example, is to allow Civil Servants to take part in scholarship programs, taking into account their income from scholarships is not smaller than the basic salary, performance allowances and other benefits they receive daily.
