  • 1 Contemporary Ethnic Identity of Muslim Descendants Along The
    1 Contemporary Ethnic Identity Of Muslim Descendants Along the Chinese Maritime Silk Route Dru C Gladney Anthropology Department University of South Carolina U.S.A At the end of five day's journey, you arrive at the noble-and handsome city of Zaitun [Quanzhoui] which has a port on the sea-coast celebrated for the resort of shipping, loaded with merchandise, that is afterwards distributed through every part of the province .... It is indeed impossible to convey an idea of the concourse of merchants and the accumulation of goods, in this which is held to be one of the largest and most commodious ports in the world. Marco Polo In February 1940, representatives from the China Muslim National Salvation society in Beijing came to the fabled maritime Silk Road city of Quanzhou, Fujian, known to Marco Polo as Zaitun, in order to interview the members of a lineage surnamed "Ding" who resided then and now in Chendai Township, Jinjiang County. In response to a question on his ethnic background, Mr. Ding Deqian answered: "We are Muslims [Huijiao reo], our ancestors were Muslims" (Zhang 1940:1). It was not until 1979, however, that these Muslims became minzu, an ethnic nationality. After attempting to convince the State for years that they belonged to the Hui nationality, they were eventually accepted. The story of the late recognition of the members of the Ding lineage in Chendai Town and the resurgence of their ethnoreligious identity as Hui and as Muslims is a fascinating reminder that there still exist remnants of the ancient connections between Quanzhou and the Western Regions, the origin points of the Silk Road.

  • The Khitans: Corner Stone of the Mongol Empire
    ACTA VIA SERICA Vol. 6, No. 1, June 2021: 141–164 doi: 10.22679/avs.2021.6.1.006 The Khitans: Corner Stone of the Mongol Empire GEORGE LANE* The Khitans were a Turco-Mongol clan who dominated China north of the Yangtze River during the early mediaeval period. They adopted and then adapted many of the cultural traditions of their powerful neighbours to the south, the Song Chinese. However, before their absorption into the Mongol Empire in the late 13th century they proved pivotal, firstly in the eastward expansion of the armies of Chinggis Khan, secondly, in the survival of the Persian heartlands after the Mongol invasions of the 1220s and thirdly, in the revival and integration of the polity of Iran into the Chinggisid Empire. Da Liao, the Khitans, the Qara Khitai, names which have served this clan well, strengthened and invigorated the hosts which harboured them. The Liao willingly assimilated into the Chinggisid Empire of whose formation they had been an integral agent and in doing so they also surrendered their identity but not their history. Recent scholarship is now unearthing and recognising their proud legacy and distinct identity. Michal Biran placed the Khitans irrevocably and centrally in mediaeval Asian history and this study emphasises their role in the establishment of the Mongol Empire. Keywords: Khitans, Liao, Chinggids, Mongols, Ilkhanate * Dr. GEORGE LANE is a Research Associate at the School of History, Religion & Philosophy, SOAS University of London. 142 Acta Via Serica, Vol. 6, No. 1, June 2021 The Khitans: Corner Stone of the Mongol Empire The Turco-Mongol tribe that first settled the lands of northern China, north of the Huai River and adopted and adapted the cultural traditions of their domineering neighbour to the south, has only recently been acknowledged for their importance to the evolution of mediaeval Asian history, due in large part to the work of Michal Biran of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

  • Dissecting the Claims of Legitimization for the Ritual of Female Circumcision Or Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
    OPEN ACCESS Research article Dissecting the claims of legitimization for the ritual of female circumcision or female genital mutilation (FGM) Muhammad Munir* International Islamic University, ABSTRACT Islamabad, Pakistan *Email: [email protected] This work analyses the various arguments put forward by the supporters of female genital mutilation (FGM) under Islamic law to determine whether this practice has its roots in Islam, whether it is a customary or cultural tradition, or whether it is a matter of personal preference in different parts of the Muslim world where the practice exists. The findings of this work are that the arguments given in support of FGM are either not reliable, are weak or, do not order Muslims to carry out this practice. Instead, this horrific practice is rooted in customary-cum-cultural tradition or, is a matter of personal preference for some Muslims but cannot be legitimized under Islamic law.

Ketiga agama tersebut telah mengalami perdebatan dalam beberapa isu dan berperang dalam beberapa pertempuran. Salah satu cara untuk memecahkan tembok yang berdiri di sekitar mereka adalah dengan mengetahui asal-usul ketiga agama tersebut. Dalam hal ini, Ibrahim adalah seorang figur yang diakui oleh masing-masing agama tersebut. Maka perlu adanya pengkajian lebih lanjut terhadap Ibrahim untuk menjawab persamaan dan perbedaan dari ketiga agama itu. Kisah tentang Ibrahim sendiri masih mengilhami penganut ketiga agama untuk menjadi Yahudi, Kristen, dan Muslim yang baik. Namun peneliti hanya memfokuskan studinya pada dua agama saja, Yahudi dan Islam. Karena ajaran Ibrahim dalam Yahudi dan Islam lebih terintegrasi pada konsep monoteisme bahwa hanya ada satu Tuhan yang layak untuk disembah dan menentang segala jenis paganisme dan politeisme. Penelitian yang ditulis oleh peneliti ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui lebih jauh tentang ajaranIbrahim dalam Yahudi dan Islam, serta mengeksplorasi hal-hal fundamental dalam masing-masing agama yang kemudian dikaitkan titik persamaan dan perbedaannnya.

    Walisongo: Jurnal Penelitian Sosial Keagamaan Vol. 25 No.1 (2017) pp. 253-274 Doi: 10.21580/ws.25.1.1336 GENDER EQUALITY IN MOSQUE MANAGEMENT: WOMEN’S INVOLVEMENT IN MASJID RAYA MUJAHIDIN PONTIANAK CUCU NURJAMILAH1 Institut Agama Islam Negeri Pontianak Abstract In the context of da’wah management, the functions of the mosque are not optimal yet. The activities of the masjid are only focused on the center of worship, religious activities, but have not touched the equality yet. In order to answer the problems above, the re- searcher used fieldwork with the method of case studies. Through an in-depth interview technique, participant observation and study of documentation found that Masjid Mujahidin Pontianak has involved women in the management of masjid, and succeed- ed in increasing the functions of the masjid. Involving women in the management of masjid will strengthen one dimension that is important in Islam that is Islam seriously upholds the equality of degree in various aspect, including Islam is a religion that highly responsive gender. When the management of mosque is filled with a variety of different groups, including giving places to women, then frictions and clashes caused by differences in the understand- ing in the society will be minimized, and then the role and function of masjid will be able to touch various aspects such as economics, health, and education. Dalam konteks pengelolaan dakwah, fungsi masjid sebagai me- dia dakwah belum diberdayakan secara optimal. Kegiatan mas- jid yang ada hanya digunakan sebagai pusat ibadah dan aktivitas keagamaan, selebihnya belum menyentuh pada persoalan gender.
