Many places in this world become places of spiritual and cultural pilgrimage.

Transferring technology in a religious based school: A case in West Bandung

This study analyses deeply and systematically the ability of religious based schools (pesantren) to adapt the development of information technology. This study takes the case in a religious-based school, i.e. Pesantren Nurul Falah, West Bandung Regency. The study was conducted descriptively and qualitatively by using techniques of interviews, observation and document analyses. Face to face interviews using a list of questions were developed for this study. The findings of the study indicate that Islamic boarding schools can positively accept the transfer of technology, with the internet as the outmost. In practice, students of the pesantren could also happily use the technology, mainly for accessing information from the outside world

Pluralism in the Light of Islam

Kemajemukan tidak bisa dihindari, seolah-olah itu adalah takdir manusia. Tetapi manusia sendiri seringkali tidak dapat mentolerir pluralitas ini. Karena intoleransi semacam inilah perang, intimidasi, pengusiran, konflik, dan kekacauan terjadi sepanjang waktu. Padahal, kemajemukan ini merupakan fenomena yang tak terbantahkan. Kita hidup dalam kemajemukan dan kita secara aktif atau pasif terlibat dalam dan bagian dari kemajemukan ini. Kemajemukan melekat pada semua gerakan spasial kita. Oleh karena itu, penerimaan dan eksistensi dengan orang lain atau hidup berdampingan dengan asumsi kesetaraan dalam bingkai kemajemukan adalah kebutuhan yang sangat penting. Karena kemajemukan ini selayaknya menjadi alat relasi bagi manusia untuk hidup damai dengan sesamanya. Namun demikian, agama dalam kehidupan masyarakat yang sebenarnya bisa menjadi fenomena yang sepenuhnya saling bertentangan. Seperti banyak agama lain, Islam juga sering menjadi penyebab konflik. Oleh karena itu, penting untuk melihat lagi apa pandangan Islam yang sebenarnya tentang pluralisme ini langsung dari sumbernya yang sah (yaitu, Al-Qur'an dan Sunnah). Kajian analisis tekstual ini dapat dijadikan pegangan bagi para tokoh Islam yang bergulat sehari-harinya dengan permasalahan kemajemukan di berbagai level pergaulan masyarakat

AL-QURAN DAN INTERPRETASI IDEOLOGIS

This paper proves that the ideological construction of an interpretation will determine the tendency of a product of interpretation and has the potential to reduce the meaning of a text and even reject other interpretations. The product of such interpretation is only more concerned with the process of elaborating verses for certain interests by designing themes and sub-themes as well as tendentious conclusions and even blaming "infidel" Muslims who are not in line, intolerant of differences of opinion, partial and fanatical which are full of radical ideologies. The findings in this article prove that the construction of Rokhmat S. Labib's interpretation is more of a process of elaborating verses for certain interests by designing themes and sub-themes with tendentious conclusions and even blaming "infidels" Muslims who are impartial, intolerant of differences, partial and fanatical. . The interpretation is often separated from the context of the verse, which causes this work to be inconsistent in taking references even though it does not ignore the historical context of the verse. This article also proves that the author's background determines ideological tendencies and interests in an interpretation

Preparing a Journal to be Accredited Nationally by Sinta

Journals, which represent the most recent findings from a particular scientific expertise, are the most visible scientific output for the scientific community. This specialization is also what makes a journal visible to indexers like Sinta. In this case, the Religious Studies Doctoral Study Program at State Islamic University (UIN) of Sunan Gunung Djati (SGD) of Bandung has the Hanifiya Journal following Sinta's standards. Thus, to support improving the quality of management, preparation activities for the Accredited Journal of Sinta are needed. Journal management has unique characteristics for its scientific field. With the unique characteristics of journal governance, the study program-based scientific community is expected to be able to obtain appropriate and detailed knowledge and services regarding study program science. This program of Journal upgrades four essential elements: articles, reviewing, editorial and publication. The targets aimed at the management of this journal are primarily lecturers and study program students, plus journal managers and the Postgraduate Administration of the University. Resource people with appropriate knowledge of the Sinta journal were invited to participate in this project. Additionally, it is customary for visiting writers from various universities to be invited to contribute to the Hanifiya Journal. As a result, each writer and management receives support and ongoing guidance in order to prepare them for Sinta's national journal certification in Indonesia

Archiving knowledge transmission in Islamic educational institution: The case of pesantren Miftahul Huda Tasikmalaya, Indonesia

This paper discusses the archiving system of knowledge transmission in traditional Islamic educational institution in Indonesia. The process of knowledge transmission in Islamic traditional educational institution cannot be separated from its position as the center of Islamic education and information. This study focuses its analysis on the Pesantren Miftahul Huda, Tasikmalaya, Indonesia, using qualitative method and data collection techniques through observation and interview. The results show that archiving knowledge transmission was limited and not well-managed in the pesantren Miftahul Huda.

The support of local and central government support and other parties will be valuable and useful for these purposes
