Islam dan Adat dalam Tradisi Perkawinan Masyarakat Suku Bugis: Analisis Interaksionisme Simbolik

This article is intended to examine the relationship between Islam and adat in the Bugis traditional wedding procession by using symbolic interactionism analysis. The procession of the Bugis traditional wedding tradition is divided into several parts, namely mappese-pese or mabbaja laleng which is interpreted as a process to find out whether the couple to be married has a fiance or not, this is intended as a form of caution not to propose to a woman who has been proposed. by other people. Madduta is done as a form of appreciation or love among humans. Mappettu ada is meant to reinforce the outcome of the conversation and is intended to elevate the position of women in the procession. Mappacci is meant to carry out the self-cleaning process by using several traditional instruments and using the Koran and praise to the Prophet in the form of reading barazanji as its main foundation and giving leko' is meant as a form of husband's responsibility in providing for his wife. This gives legitimacy that Islam and customs in the tradition of Bugis marriage go hand in hand or a form of acceptance of the Bugis community with Islamic values described in the traditions being carried out

The Maqasid Al Shariah and the Sustainability Paradigm: Literature Review and Proposed Mutual Framework for Asnaf Development

Purpose - The study examines through analysing the literature, that the zakat recipients (asnaf) can be better entertained by a sustained mechanism than one-off measures. The main aim towards asnaf upliftment should be based on a self-reliance goal-oriented-action strategy plan to alleviate them from any further deprivation. The aim of Maqasid in addressing these issues is to ensure that an asking basket gets smaller day by day through an effective regime. Design/Methodology/Approach - The paper analyses and synthesises the relevant literature on Maqasid and sustainable paradigm, then proposes a conceptual convergence to understand the paradigmatic similarities between the two in appreciating the welfare of zakat recipients. Findings - The paper attempts to examine the latitude of sustainability and Maqasid necessities in relation to asnaf welfare. The sustainability development’s main concern that the future generation benefits from the present development, which is quite similar to Hifzul Nasl or protection of progeny in Maqasid fulfilment. It can be stated that the three jurisdictions of sustainable development (SD) paradigm i.e., namely, the social, economic and environmental concerns are in actual fact, more in conformity with the Maqasid requirements. But many authors stated that indeed Maqasid is more wholesome and more encompassing than the traditional SD paradigm. Islam categorically highlights that human being as a caretaker of environment, need to ensure a better, and harmonious society, that should be erected with constructive and productive economic activities and not resorting to any damages to the nature. These concerns clearly conforms with Maqasid when it conditions that the protection of life or health, or intellect or progeny or wealth needs to be with true understanding about the self as well as the kindness of the creator, which truly encompasses faith, and that to achieve any higher dimension, may require that these basic necessities are fulfilled and ascertained at the foremost. Originality/value - This study scrutinises a comprehensive understanding about sustainability and Maqaisd needs in addressing the asnaf development and welfare. The study further elucidates that even the nature is in constant salutation towards thanking the Lord for all the bounties

Understanding Asnaf’s Sustainability through Effective Distributive Performance: A Conceptual Assessment

Zakat is receiving due position in Islamic welfare management studies for the last few years as the global situation in terms of unpredictability is on the rise.Interestingly and positively, both collection and distribution of zakat is increasing year after year yet still something is missing. The effectiveness of distribution of Zakat in terms of timely delivery or quality options of asnaf sustainability is still a big question. The issue of effective delivery requires a performance measurement, which may invite the zakat organisations to look into the possibility of incorporating a scorecard approach in evaluating the achievements thus far.This study attempts to look into asnaf sustainability as a measuring tool and an evaluation criterion for understanding the zakat’s institutional performance while keeping the demographic profile as a balancing option in assessing the relationship. The study is in elementary stage for which data analysis and further recommendation is still forthcoming.It will thus highlight the issues related to autonomous zakat body versus non-autonomous zakat bodies’ priority and problem resolving tactics in addressing the asnaf’s sustainability.The study put forward a conceptual assessment comprising of potential evaluating criterion variables for assessing asnaf sustainability and their relationship with performance of zakat distribution system. The outcomes of the study will enable theorists and policy makers in Islamic societies as well as in Islamic countries to devise effective approaches towards a promising zakat distribution system and thereby achieve the objectives of welfare

Implementation of the MABIMS criteria in determining the beginning of islamic month in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam

The emergence of criteria made by the Minister of Religion of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore (MABIMS) in the determination of the beginning of the Islamic month which was the result of the meeting of the Southeast Asian ministers of religion, namely Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore which was first held in 1989 in Brunei. The meeting discussed cooperation in the field of hisab ru'yat between the four countries. In Indonesia, the MABIMS criterion is better known as the hisab imkān al-ru'yah method and was discussed for the first time in 1998 in March by hisab and ru'yat experts and representatives of Islamic social organizations - such as Muhammadiyah, NU, Persis, Al- Ershad and others. The deliberation that took place on September 28, 1998 resulted in a decision on 8 criteria for MABIMS in Indonesia. However, in reality the Indonesian government is considered inconsistent with the application of the MABIMS Criteria. According to the initial assumption, Indonesian researchers sometimes prefer the use of rukyat rather than using the MABIMS criteria reckoning. Meanwhile, Brunei Darussalam was impressed with Indonesia when it applied the MABIMS criteria inconsistently, because Brunei Darussalam only applied the MABIMS Criteria reckoning in the determination of the beginning of the Islamic month apart from Ramadan, Shawwal and Dzulhijjah. This research is a normative type of research using a qualitative approach, using primary and secondary data in the study. This research resulted in: First, the two countries only apply in the months other than Ramadan, Syawal and Dzulhijjah, while the determination of the first three months of Islam uses the guidelines of rukyatul hilal. Second, in terms of the validity of the application of the MABIMS Criteria in Indonesia and Brunei Darusslam according to fiqh and astronomy, it is permissible to use the approach of observational data or rukyatul hilal in the field

Towards empowering zakat recipients: an assessment on effectiveness of zakat institutions from the zakat recipients' perspective

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of zakat institutions from the zakat recipients’ perspective. Researchers opine that empowering is a matter of utmost importance in order to ensure recipients are self-sufficient, self-reliant and can withstand any hardship come it may. Therefore the zakat authorities need to safeguard a robust empowerment regime and for that reason the assessment of that performance may require a newer dimensional approach where ‘the recipients’ who are the main stakeholders do evaluate the contributory performative assessment through the main four perspectives as enshrined by the Balanced Scorecard technique which include financial effectiveness, customer effectiveness, internal effectiveness and learning & growth effectiveness. Hence, the goal is to investigate the effectiveness of zakat institutions of Kedah, Malaysia in particular. A total of 427 responses received, where Partial Least Squares approach was employed as the main data analysis of this study. The research identified that all the four components are interlinked and need a coherent addressing in terms of zakat recipients’ upliftment. The recipients did put emphasis on the priority of the financial effectiveness, but in a non-profit environment where the customer effectiveness is vital, may require the service enhancement along with putting the emphasis on learning and making certain systematic rejuvenation of the processes, as well as the planned financial decision to make effects conducive to empowerment of the recipients
