Islam adalah agama yang memperhatikan keseimbangan dalam kehidupan manusia. Dari kebutuhan fisik, akal, hingga jiwa. Oleh sebab itu, tidaklah heran bila karya yang dianggap sebagai Seni Islami adalah seni yang memenuhi tiga kebutuhan manusia itu. Hal ini sejalan dengan Tauhid sebagai muara nilai Islam, yang bersumber dari Yang Maha Indah dan Maha Benar, yakni Allah swt. Dengan demikian, seni bukan hanya memenuhi tuntutan keindahan bagi indra manusia saja, melainkan mengandung sifat transendental yang universal. Agar karya seni budaya itu bisa menjadi tuntunan yang positif bagi masyakat, maka sang kreator atau para seniman (musisi dan penyayi, penulis, pekerja film, hingga seniman seni rupa) harus memperhatikan rambu-rambu yang telah digariskan oleh agama (maqâshid syarî’ah). Prinsip umumnya adalah “Semua halal selama tidak ada dalil yang mengharamkannya.” — Buku ini menjelaskan bahwa Islam tidak memusuhi seni. Dalam banyak hadis Baginda Nabi Saw. mengapresiasi karya seni dan pelaku seni. Islam justru menjaga seni agar tidak kehilangan keindahan sejatinya. Agar seni itu tetap di jalur fitrah murninya dan siapa pun yang menikmatinya tetap terjaga fitrah kemanusiaannya.
Awqaf can be used not only to provide immediate necessities to the poor, but also to create or strengthen business support institutions that can lower the cost of doing business for the poor. Awqaf can also be used to support and build infrastructure institutions that can improve corporate governance and reduce the cost of doing business. For example, information bureaus, market regulatory bodies, the provision of accountancy services, and other such shared services for a group or for the entire society can be funded through waqf. Thus, this paper focuses on the application of these concepts and some possible roles that waqf may play in the socio-economic development of the Muslim societies.

In this path breaking study, Jasser Auda presents a systems approach to the philosophy and juridical theory of Islamic law based on its purposes, intents, and higher objectives (maqasid). For Islamic rulings to fulfill their original purposes of justice, freedom, rights, common good, and tolerance in today's context, Auda presents maqasid as the heart and the very philosophy of Islamic law. He also introduces a novel method for analysis and critique, one that utilizes relevant features from systems theory, such as, wholeness, multidimensionality, openness, and especially, purposefulness of systems. This book will benefit all those interested in the relationship between Islam and a wide variety of subjects, such as philosophy of law, morality, human rights, interfaith commonality, civil society, integration, development, feminism, modernism, postmodernism, systems theory, and culture.
Jakarta, Sambas, Poso, the Moluccas, West Papua. These simple, geographical names have recently obtained strong associations with mass killing, just as Aceh and East Timor, where large-scale violence has flared up again. Lethal incidents between adjacent villages, or between a petty criminal and the crowd, take place throughout Indonesia. Indonesia is a violent country. Many Indonesia-watchers, both scholars and journalists, explain the violence in terms of the loss of the monopoly on the means of violence by the state since the beginning of the Reformasi in 1998. Others point at the omnipresent remnants of the New Order state (1966-1998), former President Suharto's clan or the army in particular, as the evil genius behind the present bloodshed. The authors in this volume try to explain violence in Indonesia by looking at it in historical perspective.
