Friday Prayer and an Indonesian Islamic Identity in Canberra, Australia

This paper analyses the meaning of Friday prayer for Indonesian Muslims students in Canberra, Australia. Due to the nature of obligatory prayer (s}ala>h) in Islam, it is hard to identify the symbolic meaning of every movement of prayer for the Muslim participants. However, using Bowen‎‎'‎‎s analysis, this paper emphasizes the social significance of Friday prayer for its participants in a particular place and time. It argues that Friday prayer is viewed by Indonesian Muslim participants as a medium to strengthen their Islamic faith and their membership of the Indonesian Islamic community in Canberra. Being a minority group, facing a prevailing Western culture, they try to maintain their faith and create social cohesion among Indonesian Muslims through their participation in this Islamic ritual

Budaya Agraris dalam Konsep Idiom Bahasa Indonesia: Kajian Antropolinguistik

Language cannot be separated from culture. In fact, language is the cultural expression of a nation. An agrarian culture in Indonesian has undergone internalization, giving birth to new words and phrases. The results of this study show several words and phrases which are idioms in Indonesian with the process of internalization of agrarian culture. The words and phrases of the agrarian culture can be found in agricultural terms, for example lahan basah, membanting tulang, memeras keringat, panen, mencairkan, and others. These words and phrases have blended in people's minds and expressed everyday culture. Who knows who started and where it came from. However, the Indonesian language user community has accepted these terms as ancestral cultural heritage.  Understanding idioms seems difficult if you only understand the meaning of conventions from Indonesian speakers. The semantic load contained in the concept of idioms is too long a derivative chain. Therefore, this paper bridges Indonesian language users to understand the concept of Indonesian idioms which is an internalization of the Indonesian agrarian culture itself. Bahasa memang tidak bisa dipisahkan dari budaya. Bahkan, bahasa merupakan ekspresi budaya suatu bangsa. Budaya agraris dalam bahasa Indonesia sudah mengalami internalisasi sehingga melahirkan berbagai kata dan frasa baru. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan beberapa kata dan frasa yang merupakan idiom dalam bahasa Indonesia dengan proses internalisasi budaya agraris. Kata dan frasa dari budaya agraris tersebut dapat ditemukan dalam istilah pertanian, misalnya lahan basah, membanting tulang, memeras keringat, panen, mencairkan, dan lain-lain. Kata dan frasa tersebut telah membaur dalam benak masyarakat dan mengekspresikan budaya sehari-hari. Entah siapa yang memulai dan dari mana munculnya. Akan tetapi, masyarakat pengguna bahasa Indonesia telah menerima istilah-istilah tersebut sebagai warisan budaya nenek moyang. Memahami idiom sepertinya sulit jika hanya memahami makna konvensi dari para penutur bahasa Indonesia. Beban semantik yang terkandung dalam konsep idiom terlalu panjang rantai turunannya. Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini menjembatani pemakai bahasa Indonesia untuk memahami konsep idiom bahasa Indonesia yang merupakan internalisasi dari budaya agraris masyarakat Indonesia sendiri

Epistemologi Tauhid Al-faruqi

: Al-Faruqi's Theological Epistemology. This writing discusses the concept of tauhid theological epistimology incorporated as part of al-Faruqi's construction of Islamic studies. As a contemporary Muslim thinker, al-Faruqi maintains that tauhid is a substantial point in human's character building in various dimensions. As such, this gives rise to producing the dynamics of tauhid meanings in all aspects of life. This kind of tauhid essence has to be persued at the ontological and epis- temological conceptions. In order to explore such subtance, historical descriptive analysis approach is used so that the formulation of tauhid epistemology of al Faruqi could be known in detail throw light into the tauhid meanings in this life. The writer found that al-Faruqi's scientific paradigm at the level of applying tauhid could be observed through epistemological perspective. This study tries to formulate such epistemological analysis, hoping that it will enlighten human life based on the principles of Islamic creed or tauhid

Crafting Hizbiyyin in Contemporary Indonesia: Da'wah and Recruitment of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia in South Sulawesi

This article aims at analysing the growing membership of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) by looking at its local development in Makassar, South Sulawesi. While many scholars have emphasized external factors in explaining the rise of Islamist movements, including HTI, this study emphasizes internal explanation from the movement itself. It discusses the strong relationship between HTI da'wah doctrines, recruitment strategy and the joining process. The various recruitment methods and strategies of HTI are in line with its doctrinal stages of da'wah, namely the stage of culturing (tathqif), the stage of interaction with the ummah, and the stage of taking over the government. This article suggests that individual persuasion through pre-existing interpersonal networks is crucial in attracting young Muslims to participate in HTI. Borrowing theories of conversion by Lofland-Stark and Wiktorowicz, the article demonstrates three processses of joining in HTI: cognitive opening, religious seeking, and socialization

Switchable filtering in vivaldi antenna

Presented is a new frequency switchable Vivaldi antenna that has a capability to operate in a wideband mode (1-3 GHz) and reconfigure to six different subbands of operations. The reconfiguration is realised by coupling and changing the effective electrical length of ring slots inserted in the structure by means of pin diode switches. To examine antenna performances, simulated and measured results are presented. Good impedance matches and radiation patterns have been achieved. The proposed antenna is suitable for wideband and multimode radio applications

A significant positive correlation was found at 5% level of significance between the knowledge and practice pattern of waiting period of the pesticides and negative correlation was found between the Personal Protective equipment score and health hazard score. Headache was the major health hazards faced by the farmers which was higher in small holders (66.7%) as compared to the large holders (46.9%). Mask was the most used PPE by the farmer\u27s i.e. by 83% in overall.
