Theory of Tamadun (Arabic: Tamaddun; English: civilization): Tamadun Theory associated with the achievement of progress in the city. The word "tamadun" is a direct translation of the English word civilization. The word stems from the Latin civilization, namely the combination of three words: civis (citizen), civilis (city), and community (life in the city). The term "civilization" has been used in Malaysia since the British colonial era to the present day. From the word civilization was born the terms "Tamadun Melayu" (Malay Civilization), "Masyarakat Madani" (civil society), and "Islam Hadhari" (civilizational Islam). In the Arab countries called Hadarah Islamiyyah which gives the same meaning, namely "Islamic civilization". Theory of Peradaban (Culturalization): This theory is associated with Islamic civilization or the peradaban of Islam. The word "peradaban" comes from the Arabic word "adab" (courtesy). Islamic civilization is interpreted as a cultured and courteous civilization. For these reasons it is more in line with the word "civilization" is created for the purpose of this term is to Islamize "civilization" that is considered a "secular". The term "peradaban" was adopted and popularized in Indonesia since the 1950s until today. The Theory of `Umran (Islamic prosperity). The theory of ‘Umran specially created by Ibn Khaldun to replace Civilization, the creation of the West. The philosophy of ‘Umran has its own methodology based on three main things, as stated in al-Qur'an al-Karim. The Word of God: ُه َو أَن َشأَ ُكم ِّ م َن ٱأۡلَ أر ِّض َوٱ أستَ أع َم َر ُك أم فِّي َها َفٱ أستَ أغ ِّف ُروهُ ثُ َّم تُوبُ ٓواْ إِّ َلأي ِِّۚه إِّ َّن َربِّ ي َق ِّري ٞب ُّم ِّج ي ٞب (Surah Hud: 61) From this verse we find that there are three main issues which are fundamental to the management of the development of Islam in al-Qur'an al-Karim, which are as follows: First, Allah (huwa): He is Allah Subhanahu wa Ta`ala, the Creator the Almighty who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. Second, Human (`an sha`akum): He makes you (mankind) on the earth (clay) and appoints you as the "Caliph of Allah on earth" and is responsible for the prosperity of the earth according to His will, that is Allah Subhanahu wa Ta`ala, and obey laws and regulations that He has created for you without creating destruction. If you create destruction, then you should immediately ask for forgiveness, and repent, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta`ala always be with you and mercy. Third, Earth (ard): God made man on the earth (clay) and all creatures that are on the earth, animals and plants and made it a source of sustenance and life for mankind to live in peace and prosperity and perform acts of worship to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta`ala to be rewarded in the hereafter. Http://www.granthaalayah.com ©International Journal of Research - GRANTHAALAYAH [316] [Yahaya *, Vol.5 (Iss.7): July, 2017] ISSN- 2350-0530(O), ISSN- 2394-3629(P) DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.837261 From the above explanation it is clear that the aspects of management and development from the perspective of the al-Qur'an is based on the concept of the triangle, which is God, man and nature, and all three of these elements are interrelated and can not be separated from one another in a developing country, and at the same time, a milestone in the life of `Umran. Therefore, the text will be the basis on the theory and philosophy of the Faculty of Islamic Development Management UNISSA to strengthen the concept of Dhikr Nation and Vision 2035 in Negara Brunei Darussalam. There are ten things pertaining to God (the Creator), nature and human beings, as follows: The concept of Uluhiyyah - this quality devote themselves to God Almighty, Almighty, and the Wise, and no partner, and He makes all creatures, whether in heaven or on earth, visible to the eyes and not. He has sent prophets and apostles and the holy scriptures of the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms and al-Qur'an al-Karim as a guide for mankind towards nature with the day of reckoning. We, as servants of God cannot lie to God because God created us, and to Him we surrender. God created the universe for human life and worship God, society and country. Man's relationship with God, human relations among people, and between people and nature are always intertwined. Thus, God, man, and nature are in the chain and "Triangle- Three", and the three are inseparable from one another. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta`ala is the one who created all living things whether in the sky or on the earth together with the laws of nature which is protected and maintained by his power and ‘inayah. Mankind as a servant of Allah is commanded to obey the laws and regulations set by Allah. At the same time, Allah has stated “Mankind who is created from the earth (clay) هوانشأكم من اﻷرض واستعمركم ”is commanded and entrusted to develop and prosper the world فيها Http://www.granthaalayah.com ©International Journal of Research - GRANTHAALAYAH [317] [Yahaya *, Vol.5 (Iss.7): July, 2017] ISSN- 2350-0530(O), ISSN- 2394-3629(P) DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.837261 :... and thereafter it is commanded of them to seek forgiveness and repent towards Him فاستغفروا ثم توبوا إليه..1 There are three important factors mentioned in the above verse, that is, Allah mankind and the earth (environment) are the main focus of development. The theory of `Umran is created specifically to manage mankind and natural resources for the purpose of development based on the philosophy of Islamic Management and development which is characterized as holistic, amalgamated, hands-on, and in line whether in theory or practice. It is implemented in the form of a triangle, starting from faith in Allah, followed by efforts by humans on the management of the environment for the purpose of development. In the context of development, it is required to have a leader, administrator and manager who is efficient, honest and trustworthy to ensure that the objective of development is achieved. To ensure that the objective is achieved, they require a yardstick to act as an index to measure the extent of the development achieved. The tool used is Key Performance Indicator (KPI) in the area of development, and Total Quality Management (TQM) in the field of management. The real world consists of the heaven, earth and space which own a control system that controls all the occurrences in the heavens, on earth and in the skies. The sun is the source of life that illuminates the entire universe to provide life for the plants and all creatures that are in the earth. The moon functions at night to provide a course of light for the life of plants and crops and provides a maneuver for people who are traveling in the evening. The stars and planets are scattered in space and also helps in the effort to develop a variety of companies through geography and knowledge on falak (astronomy) to determine a time and location suitable for construction.

    "WE THEJURISTS": ISLAMIC CONSTITUTIONALISM IN IRAQ IntisarA.

  • ON Taqiyya, OR on HOW NOT to Lie Qusthan Firdaus Universitas Buddhi Dharma, Tangerang, Indonesia Abstract This Article Attempts
    ON TAQIYYA, OR ON HOW NOT to LIE Qusthan Firdaus Universitas Buddhi Dharma, Tangerang, Indonesia ABSTRACT This article attempts to clarify the concept of taqiyya (or dissimulation for religious purposes). It will examine if the concept is coherent, and whether practices of taqiyya follow its concept. The article first discusses the concept of taqiyya. Second, it reviews historical examples of its practice. Third, it examines the implications of the Ninth Commandment in the Bible. Fourth, it discusses the notion of ‘speaking justly’ in the Qur’an. And fifth, it examines the manner in which the practice of taqiyya, often deviates from its concept. Introduction Can we lie in order to protect ourselves and protect our faith? This article aims to examine the concept and the practices of taqiyya. By examining it, I wish to demonstrate that taqiyya is conceptually coherent though its practice might be abused to the degree that it deviates from the concept. In other words, this article will be an intellectual exercise comparing the concept and practices of taqiyya. Moreover, Prajñā Vihāra Vol. 17 No 1, January-June 2016, 1-32 © 2000 by Assumption University Press Qusthan Firdaus 1 one of the Ten Commandments prohibits us to bear false witness. This article brings into focus some questions such as: What is the concept of taqiyya? Is such concept coherent? Do practices of taqiyya concur with its concept? Does taqiyya violate the Ninth Commandment or the duty to not lie? What I mean by ‘to violate’ is failing or breaking to comply with a rule. In this particular case, the rule is the Ninth Commandment.
