Strenghtening Families as A Strategy to Support Nation-State

This paper was written to present the role of the biggest Islamic religious organizations in Indonesia, Muhammadiyah and NU, in supporting the nation-state through their roles in strengthening families. Family is the smallest social unit in the society that is a base of the formation of all institutions including the nation-state. Therefore, a nation-state genealogically and sociologically appeared and was formed from some units of families that agree with and bind to each other to live together in an area. As a foundation, family situation becomes the determinant of a nation-state existence and sustainability. A family that is strong and has resiliency will realize a nation-state that is strong and has endurance. On the other hand, if the base of a unit, which is a family, is weak, the nation-state will be easily collapsed. On the basis of the importance of families for the nation-state, the Indonesian government has set the rules, the government regulations, and the minister regulations on family development, such as the Acts No. 10 of 1992 on Family Development. An analysis with sociological approach on some rules above is sufficient for a proof that the state or the government is concerned much at family development. The state even has made the marriage law for the Moslems – as the majority – although based on al-Qur’an and Hadith, Islam has very clearly ruled how to build families. Two Islamic societal organizations, NU and Muhammadiyah, also have the concept of family building, which are maslahah family and sakinah family. Studies on some rules and concepts related to families have found that all parties commit to realize the family destination, in which a family has toughness and strength in religious, economic, environmental, and social aspects, so that the family functions like the religious function are really guaranteed; families become the center and also the source of varied virtue and glory. Some facts have been found, which are not a few, about collapsed families and households, but the roles of the state and the societal organizations in strengthening families are sufficient to stem the flow of the destruction of a nation-state. Tough families become the main factor of supporting the toughness and strength of the nation-state

Etika Bisnis dalam Perspektif Islam

In 1997-1998 Indonesia experienced a monetary crisis and economic crisis, where one of the factors causing it is the existence of economic wideenization. The image arises because the business ethics of entrepreneurs in Indonesia is low.

Korelasi Antara pelaksanaan metode terjemah RLQ (a revolutionary way in learning Qur’an) dengan kemampuan peserta dalam memahami arti al-Qur’an di kelompok kajian Qur’an rumah Dannis Pakis Surabaya

Al-Qur'an telah memberikan dimensi baru terhadap ilmu pengetahuan, sebelum manusia menemukan dan menentukan teori-teori mengenai kehidupan dan pengetahuan. Lebih dari itu al-Qur'an merupakan pedoman bagi umat Islam. Karena keagungannya belum pernah ada dalam sejarah manusia untuk dapat menandinginya. Sementara sebagian besar umat Islam di Indonesia kemampuan pemahamannya terhadap al-Qur'an baru pada tahap membaca dalam bentuk tekstual Araby. Berangkat dari itu perlu ditanamkan repersepsi yang lebih intens, bahwa kemampuan membaca merupakan tahapan paling awal untuk mendekati dan mengakrabi al-Qur'an, selanjutnya adalah memahami arti dan isi al-Qur' an tersebut. Dari sinilah adanya metode terjemah RLQ (a Revolutionery way in Learning Qur'an) ialah metode revolusioner yang mudah dan cepat menuju khatam dan paham al­ Qur'an. Dengan metode ini kalangan yang belum paham bahasa Arab pun akan terasa mudah memahami al-Qur' an, sehingga menjadikan pribadi memiliki wawasan luas tentang Islam. Dari sinilah penulis tertarik untuk meneliti tentang korelasi antara pelaksanaan metode terjemah RLQ dengan kemampuan peserta dalam memahami arti al-Qur' an. Teknik yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah observasi, interview, angket, tes, dan dokumentasi sebagai cara untuk mengumpulkan data yang diperlukan dalam penelitian ini. Setelah data terkumpul penulis menggunakan rumus prosentase untuk menjawab permasalahan tentang metode terjemah RLQ dan kemampuan peserta dalam memahami arti al-Qur'an. Sedangkan untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya korelasi antara metode terjemah RLQ dengan kemampuan peserta dalam memahami arti al-Qur' an, penulis menggunakan rumus product moment yang nantinya hasil korelasi dari perhitungan rumus akan dikonsultasikan pada harga kritik product moment pada taraf signifikasi 1 % dan5 %. Hasil penelitian berkenaan dengan gambaran umum obyek penelitian, penyajian dan analisa data sebagai hasil dari proses pengumpulan data sebelumnya, serta pengujian hipotesis yang pada akhirnya menyimpulkan bahwa ada korelasi antara pelaksanaan metode terjemah RLQ dengan kemampun peserta dalam memahami arti al-Qur'an

Malaysia and the Rome statute: the issue of sovereignty

The announcement of Malaysia’s accession to the Rome Statute on March 4, 2019 was met with strong objection by the opposition and some stake holders. One of the main arguments made by those who opposed the Rome Statute was that “it will, in the end, destroy national sovereignty.” Although the argument appears to be political rhetoric, it has already injected confusion among the general public and painted a dark picture that the Rome Statute is a hegemonic law that will rob Malaysia of its sovereignty. The main purpose of the present paper, therefore, is to set the record straight and to prove the simple fact that entering into a treaty is in fact a clear exercise of a State’s sovereignty and not to lose sovereignty. First of all, the paper reappraises the concept of sovereignty: in its original form and its evolution from 16th century to 21st century, on the basis of State practice, doctrine, and judicial pronouncements. Secondly, arguments against the Rome Statute made by some powerful States are analyzed and rebutted. Thirdly, Malaysia’s situation is objectively evaluated in the light of a comparison between the Rome Statute and other onerous treaties to which Malaysia has already been a party. The paper concludes with the findings that the traditional concept of ‘absolute sovereignty’ is no longer relevant in the contemporary interdependent world, that States with their own free will as a rule restrict their sovereignty to subject themselves to international law, and that Malaysia by no means will lose its sovereignty by acceding to a treaty while most importantly the Government must first of all need to convince the people that it is a right thing to do – it is beneficial to the people of Malaysia or it can achieve the higher aim of protecting the humanity
