Alternative Voices in Muslim Southeast Asia
According to some observers, Southeast Asian Islam is undergoing a conservative turn. This means voices that champion humanist, progressive or moderate ideas are located on the fringes of society. Is this assessment accurate for a region that used to be known for promoting the “smiling face of Islam”? Alternative Voices in Muslim Southeast Asia examines the challenges facing progressive voices in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore today. It examines their discourses, which delve into how multiculturalism and secularism are the way forward for the diverse societies of these three countries. Moreover, it analyses the avenues employed by these voices in articulating their views amidst the do...

Pada masa pandemi tahun 2020 jagat laman media sosial Facebook diramaikan dengan serentetan tulisan para “ahli”. Para penulis senior yang terkenal seperti AS Laksana, Goenawan Mohamad, dan Ulil Abshar Abdalla membuat Facebook menjadi lebih segar dan berbobot.

Mengeja Indonsia merasa debat yang berbobot ini perlu di dokumentasikan sehingga tidak lengkang ditelan zaman, maka dengan segala kekuarangan kami persembahkan kepada penikmat perdebatan ini buku digital Sains, Saintisme, dan Agama.
Mantiq
Mengapa mantiq amat penting untuk dipelajari? Ialah karena fungsinya sebagai ilmu alat. Ketika ‘ilmu alat’ disebut, umumnya orang yang belajar ilmu-ilmu keislaman hari ini cenderung akan mengasosiasikannya dengan gramatika bahasa Arab, yakni nahwu (sintaksis) dan sharf (morfologi). Namun, khazanah klasik Islam menyebut mantiq sebagai ilmu alat juga. “Waba’du fal-manthiqu lil-janāni # nisbatuhu kan-naḥwi lil-lisāni”, demikian tulis Al-Akhdhari (w. 1575) dalam nazam As-Sullam al-Munawraq. “Mantiq bagi pikiran ialah seperti nahwu bagi bahasa.” Lebih tegas lagi, di salah satu karyanya yang menjadi kitab babon dalam ushul fiqh, al-Mustashfā, al-Ghazali menyampaikan, “Man la yaḥīthu bih fala tsiqata bi’ulūmihi ashlan”. “Siapa tak menguasai mantiq, ilmunya tidak tepercaya.” Buku ini menghimpun catatan dari kajian terhadap Mi’yārul-‘Ilmi fil-Manthiq karya al-Ghazali dan ditambah dengan bacaan-bacaan lain untuk memperkaya. Sebagaimana tampak nanti setelah membaca buku ini, peran vital mantiq bahkan bukan saja terbatas pada fungsinya sebagai ilmu alat, melainkan juga pemberi dasar rasional bagi diktum-diktum akidah.

İran Dış Politikasında İmparatorluk Vizyonu: Pers Yayılmacılığı
Devletlerin kimliklerini tanımlayış biçimleri doğrultusunda ulusal çıkarlarını da tanımladıkları görülmektedir. Bu kapsamda 1979 yılında gerçekleşen İslam Devrimi'nin ardından İran, Şiilik ile Fars kimliğini sentezleyen İranlılık olgusunu dış politikasının merkezine oturtmuştur. Bu durum, İran dış politikasında iki farklı imparatorluk vizyonunu beraberinde getirmiştir. Nitekim Tahran hem Şii-İslam Dünyası'nın siyasi ve dini kıblesi olmak istemekte hem de Fars Dünyası'nın büyük abisi olarak konumlanmaya çalışmaktadır. Bu hedefler doğrultusunda imparatorluk vizyonunu şekillendiren İran, Tahran'ı merkez karargâh olarak görmekte ve çevre...
