Inilah halte pemberhentian pertama kita, yaitu : kesadaran. Bahwa setiap dari kita terlahir bukan tanpa alasan dan tujuan yang tidak jelas. Kita terlahir sebagai khalifah di bumi sekaligus ‘abid (hamba) Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala. Kita terlahir sebagai seorang muslim yang sudah mengenal bahkan bersaksi bahwa Allah adalah Rabb semesta alam ketika di alam rahim. Maka kesadaran itu yang perlu di-install di dalam diri kita secara sepenuhnya. Kesadaran bahwa Allah telah memuliakan status kita sebagai manusia di bumi ini lengkap dengan rezeki yang dibutuhkan serta kemuliaan dibandingkan makhluk lain. Kesadaran itu juga yang pada akhirnya akan megantarkan kita pada dua halte pemberhentian selanj...
Dimasa dimana ketergantungan terhadap materi begitu menjadi-jadi, tidak ada alasan kita merasa pesimis, rendah diri bahkan meletakkan diri sebagai hamba kepada sesama hamba Tuhan. Sama juga tidak dapat dibenarkan, kita menjadikan apa yang dititipkan Tuhan berupa baiknya jasad, kekayaan, nasab dan lain sebagainya sebagai bahan kesombongan, bahkan ke-takabur-an. Buku ini mencoba memberikan pandangan mengenai urgensi, makna dan cara meraih independensi dalam ketidakmungkinan diri untuk tidak bersandar dan tergantung kepada Tuhan dalam segala hal.

THE collection of papers in this volume documents the study of Islam in American Universities. Over the last few decades the United States has seen significant growth in the study of Islam and Islamic societies in institutions of higher learning fueled primarily by events including economic relations of the U.S. with Muslim countries, migration of Muslims into the country, conversion of Americans to Islam, U.S. interests in Arab oil resources, involvement of Muslims in the American public square, and the tragic events of 9/11. Although there is increasing recognition that the study of Islam and the role of Muslims is strategically essential in a climate of global integration, multiculturalism, and political turmoil, nevertheless, the state of Islamic Studies in America is far from satisfactory. The issue needs to be addressed, particularly as the need for intelligent debate and understanding is continuously stifled by what some have termed an “Islam industry” run primarily by fly-by journalists, think tank pundits, and cut-and-paste “experts.”
A revised and updated edition of Waines' wide-ranging account of the history and theology of Islam.
The eleven-year civil war in Sierra Leone from 1991 to 2002 was incomprehensibly brutal—it is estimated that half of all female refugees were raped and many thousands were killed. While the publicity surrounding sexual violence helped to create a general picture of women and girls as victims of the conflict, there has been little effort to understand female soldiers’ involvement in, and experience of, the conflict. Female Soldiers in Sierra Leone draws on interviews with 75 former female soldiers and over 20 local experts, providing a rare perspective on both the civil war and post-conflict development efforts in the country. Megan MacKenzie argues that post-conflict reconstruction is a highly gendered process, demonstrating that a clear recognition and understanding of the roles and experiences of female soldiers are central to both understanding the conflict and to crafting effective policy for the future.
In the aftermath of a disaster, medical infrastructure is often significantly impacted or destroyed in the affected zone. Recognizing the need for an effective system for deployment in disaster zones, the Emerging Security Challenges Division within NATO's Science for Peace and Security Program (SPS) initiated the development of a multinational telemedicine system (MnTS). Such a system can improve access to health services and increase survival rates in emergency situations spanning both geographical and time zones. This book presents a review of this NATO-funded MnTS, and follows the thematic approach to its development. The book is divided into 14 chapters; Chapter 1 includes a historical ...
This important study offers a conceptual analysis of gender and human rights under Islamic law, state law and international law, and extends this analysis to a specific examination of the nature of women's rights in the Islamic tradition. It explores the disparity between the theoretical perspective on women's rights and its applications to Muslim jurisdictions, determined by elements of cultural practices, socio-economic realities and political expediences, and uses the example of Pakistan to demonstrate the divergence between the theory and practice of Islamic law in these jurisdictions. It discusses the concept of an emerging 'operative' Islamic law, which includes principles of Islamic law, secular codes and popular custom and usage.
In the Eyes of many Westerners, Muslim women are hidden behind a veil of negative stereotypes that portray them as either oppressed, subservient wives and daughters or, more recently, as potential terrorists. Yet many Muslim women defy these stereotypes by taking active roles in their families and communities and working to create a more just society. This book introduces eighteen Muslim women activsts from the United States and Canada who have worked in fields from social services, to marital counseling, to political advocacy, in order to further social justice within the Muslim community and in the greater North American society. --
