How Islamic Is Indonesia Constitution?
Implementing Islamic Constitutionalism: How Islamic Is Indonesia Constitution? Muhammad Siddiq Armia Abstract: Implementing Islamic Constitutionalism: How Islamic Is Indonesia Constitution?. Religious constitutionalism has recently become a global discussion. Such a trend arises as a result of several countries that have a majority of religious adherents declare their constitution based on certain religions. Thailand, for example, provides special norms about Buddhism (Buddhist constitutionalism), the Vatican has special norms about Catholicism (Catholic constitutionalism), India has special norms about Hinduism (Hindu constitutionalism), Saudi Arabia has norms specifically about Islam (Islamic constitutionalism), and so on. This article analyzes whether or not the Islamic principles have been adopted in the Indonesian Constitution. These principles consist of protecting religion, soul, mind, offsprings, and property. The author uses the five principles as a standard in measuring the entire Indonesian Constitution which constitutes to the teachings of Islam (Islamic constitutionalism). The implementation of Islamic constitutionalism can be identified through articles in the constitution. This study concluded that, in general, the Indonesian constitution could be considered to have agreed to Islamic constitutionalism, although in some cases it still needs to be actualized more.

Unity of the Path of Truth
1 UNITY OF THE PATH OF TRUTH A Friday Sermon by Dr Mahmud Abul-Huda Al Husaini Al 'Adiliyya Mosque, Aleppo, 31\8\2007 At a time, similar to this time, in the honored Sha'ban in the year nine after the migration of the Prophet (PBUH), a significant Divine lesson was produced when a great incident took place. It was the last expedition that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) attended when he set out for Tabuk. The Messenger of Allah went out in Rajab and came back to Medina in Ramadan. He spent the whole month of Sha'ban in Tabuk. The lesson of Tabuk should be an unforgettable lesson. When we devote a certain time to understand the lessons of the Nocturnal Journey and Ascension of the Prophet (PBUH), the lesson of Badr and the lesson of the opening of Mecca, we had better exert a great attention to the connotations of the lesson of Tabuk as it summarizes most of the above mentioned lessons. The expedition of Tabuk took place a little before the Beloved, Al Mustafa (PBUH) passed away to the High Companion. It was the last great assembly the Prophet (PBUH) attended when he went out spreading truth and guidance. It was not only one of the lessons of the Enlightened Medina; it was also a setting out and movement where about thirty thousand fighters gathered. The Holy Qur'an refers to this incident in many verses. Let us have a little stance on this lesson to explore its occasion and its circumstances that most Muslims are unaware of. -

Jews in the Qurʾān: an Evaluation of the Naming and the Content
JEWS IN THE QURʾĀN: AN EVALUATION OF THE NAMING AND THE CONTENT Salime Leyla Gürkan İstanbul 29 Mayıs University, Istanbul-Turkey E-mail: [email protected] Abstract No other people are mentioned in the Qurʾān as often as the people of Israel. They appear in sixteen sūrahs and approximately forty verses by name (banū Isrāʾīl). The Qurʾān also makes reference to the Jews either by name (al-yahūd/hūd) or within the context of the people of the book (ahl al-kitāb). This paper aims to discuss the Qurʾānic verses about the Jews and the people of Israel in terms of the naming and the content. Key questions to be addressed are: What is the purpose of the frequent mention of the people of Israel in the Qurʾān? What is the context and the content of the verses about the Jews and the people of Israel both in Meccan and Medinan sūrahs? What message or messages are intended to or can be conveyed by these verses? Key Words: Qurʾān, Jews (yahūd/hūd), the people of Israel (banū Isrāʾīl), the people of the book (ahl al-kitāb), the Prophet Muḥammad, Muslims, Islām.

The Title of Al-Siddiq Abu Bakr's Love for the Prophet
365 DAYS WITH THE SAHABAH 365 DAYS WITH THE SAHABAH 365 DAYS WITH THE SAHABAH Day 4 The Title of al-Siddiq he Quraysh were clearly not happy with what the Prophet Muhammad ∂ T was preaching and tried their best to stop him from doing this. They tried to harm him on many occasions. But the Prophet continued and bore the brunt of the Quraysh’s wrath silently and patiently. Meanwhile, the Prophet’s uncle, Abu Talib, who had supported him all along and his wife, Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, died, which left the Prophet alone. Soon after, one night in 620 C.E. the Prophet was taken to the Heavens (al- Mi‘raj). People ridiculed him when they heard that he had gone to al-Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem and from there to the Heavens. A number of people, some of them Muslims, came to Abu Bakr and expressed doubts about the possibility of this journey. Abu Bakr silenced them with his eloquent reasoning and told them that he would believe anything the Prophet said. He said: “I have never heard Muhammad tell a lie. I believe in everything he says.” Thus, Abu Bakr earned the title of ‘al-Siddiq’, which means a very strong and honest friend. Day 5 Abu Bakr’s Love for the Prophet ne day, Abu Bakr publicly made a call to the people gathered to Kabah to O accept Islam. The people, however, did not like this and beat Abu Bakr mercilessly. Utbah bin Rabiah took the lead and wounded Abu Bakr’s face very badly. -
The Amīr/National President Jamā'at Ahmadiyya
The Amīr/National President Jamā‘at Ahmadiyya, ………………….. Dear Brother, Extracts from the Friday Sermon delivered by Hadrat Khalīfa-tul-Masīh V (May Allāh be his Helper) on 15 February 2019 at Baitul Futūh Mosque, London. Our Imām, Hadrat Khalīfa-tul-Masīh V (May Allāh be his Helper) continuing with the accounts of the Companions of the Holy Prophet (May Allāh's Blessings be upon him) who participated in the Battle of Badr said: today first of them about whom I will speak is; Hadrat Khalid bin Qais (May Allāh be pleased with him): He belonged to Banu Bayazah branch of Khazraj tribe. His father’s name was Qais bin Mālik and his mother was Salmah bint Harithah. His wife’s name was Umm-e-Rabi’ī and they had a son by the name of Abdur Rahman. According to Ibn-e-Ishaq, he participated in the Second Bai'at Aqabah along with 70 Ansār. He participated in the Battles of Badr and Uhud. Hadrat Harith bin Khazamah Ansāri (May Allāh be pleased with him): His title was Abu Bishr. He belonged to the Khazraj tribe of Ansār who were confederates of Banu ’Abd Al-Ashhal. He accompanied the Holy Prophet (May Allāh's Blessings be upon him) in all the Battles, including Badr, Uhud and Khandaq. It is reported that during the Battle of Tabuk the Holy Prophet’s (May Allāh's Blessings be upon him) camel went missing, upon which the hypocrites started objecting, “How can he have knowledge of the Heavens when he does not even know where his camel is?” When the Holy Prophet (May Allāh's Blessings be upon him) heard this, he said, “I only know that which God reveals to me.” He then said that God had informed him that his camel was in a certain valley. -
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy The
From the Battles of Islam Mercy to Mankind Worksheet Series© In the Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy The Battles that took place establishing the Islamic state – In Brief Badr – After the Prophet (salla allahu alaihi wa salaam) Migrated to Medina from Mecca the Quraish tribe leaders, and other enemies of Islam became extremely hostile. They threatened the people of Medina with destruction if they did not kill him (salla allahu alaihi wa salaam). The tribes of Quraish had a caravan of goods coming from Syria, and they were told the Muslims were about to overtake it and although they were told (that the caravan was safe), they were overwhelmed in rage from their hatred. Thus they formed an Army of about 1,000 men and marched towards Medina. During the Month of Ramadan, in the 2nd year of Hijrah the battle of Badr commenced with 313 willing and fighting Muslim men. May Allah have mercy upon all of them ameen. Muslims won this Battle, Alhamdulillah Uhud – Abu Sufyaan was now the chief of Quraish, and he was certainly thirsty for blood after having lost the Battle of Badr. All of Arabia wanted revenge. Shortly after the first battle, within a year the battle of Uhud ensued. They marched on Medina with 3, 000 men against 700 Muslim soldiers. The Prophet (salla allahu alaihi wa salaam) instructed 50 archers to stand upon the mountain and to not give up their position no matter what. A fierce battle erupted and the Muslims stood their ground. However, when the Muslims won the first portion of this battle, and commenced to counting the spoils (the booty) the archers left their positions, thinking that they would miss out on the booty. -
Dangers and Treatment of Hypocrites' Rumors Thematic Analytical Study

It reveals the dangers of such rumors through analyzing the Hadith narrated by Omar regarding the rumor of the Prophet, peace be upon him, divorcing his wives and the Hadith narrated by Aisha regarding the falsehood incident, where some reliable and honorable Companions (Sahaba) fell prey to the rumors spread by hypocrites. These rumors aimed at weakening the leadership. They spread so quickly appearing as an absolute truth, resulting in serious harm –including illness, insomnia and crying- to the accused. Analyzing the two Hadiths shows how to face and address rumors. Rumors can be overcome through preventing one's tongue from spreading the rumors, asking and referring to specialized people, being patient when one is falsely accused, relying on Allah until the truth is revealed and innocence is proven and forgiveness to erase any traces of these rumors.

Apprehending the Political Thought of Ibn Taymiyah Mehraj Ud Din
Apprehending the Political Thought of Ibn Taymiyah Mehraj ud din Abstract The pervasive worldview of Islam has not left any aspect of human society untouched and the polity is no exception to it. History bears witness that Islamic tradition has produced a number of axiomatic figures, who dealt with every aspect of human thought. The name Ibn Taymiyah is not unknown to those interested in Islam and Muslims, be they academicians, activists, thinkers, or others. Yet too often, little beyond the name and an obscure preconception of this man is known to people. So who was Ibn Taymiyah about whom such controversy persists eight centuries after his death? The twentieth century political discourse has repudiated the edifice of Islamic polity and presented, Ibn Taymiyah as the father of radical fundamentalism. The present paper will give the brief sketch of genesis of Islamic polity with special reference to the political thought of Ibn Taymiyah. It will also highlight his distinctive contribution in the discourse of Islamic political thought. Introduction The worldview of Islam is replete with a vibrant and dynamic organizational structure underlying a coherent socio-politico-economic system which places Islam at a higher pedestal in the emblem of ideologies. The contemporary contoured post-renaissance intellectual discourse reveals this fact that there is a dynamic paradigm shift from pre-modern metaphysical explanation of world to modern humanist interpretation of life which has altogether traversed the meaning of things from their own contextual episteme. Mehraj ud din is a doctoral candidate at Shah-i-Hamadan Institute of Islamic Studies, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, India.
