Islam and State: A Study on Al-Mawardi and An-Nabhani’s thought and its Compatibility in Indonesian Context

Even though study concerning Islam and politics has been conducted by many researchers, few of them investigating about compatibility of Islamic political thoughts, which originated from the classical and medieval periods that have been influencing Islamic political movements and thoughts in Indonesia, with Indonesian context. Thoughts of Imam al-Mawardi (lived in the 12th Century) and Taqiyuddin al-Nabhani (lived in the 20th Century) are some of them that should be mentioned in this regard. Islamic political thoughts of al-Mawardi become the main reference for Sunni Muslims who are majority in Indonesia, while Islamic political thought of al-Nabhani become the main guidance of HTI (Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia) movement of which its members and followers are many in Indonesia. This article investigates about the political thoughts of al-Mawardi and al-Nabhani concerning the relationship between Islam and state as well as their compatibility with Indonesian context. This study uses the library research in which its primary resources are books written by al-Mawardi entitled Al-Ahkam al-Sulthaniyah and al-Nabhani entitled Ad-Daulah al-Islamiyah. By utilizing qualitative content analysis, data were collected and analyzed. This article argues that the Islamic political thought of al-Mawardi has been adopted by majority of Indonesian Sunni Muslims with some adjustments with Indonesian context, so that his thoughts become compatible with the concept of modern nation-state of Indonesia.  On the other side, Islamic political thought of al-Nabhani which developed within a spirit of resistance to Western (European) colonialism has been adopted and campaigned by HTI without adjustment with Indonesian context. This causes al-Nabhani’s thought clashes with the concept of modern nation-state of Indonesia.Meskipun studi tentang pemikiran politik Islam di Indonesia sudah banyak dilakukan, masih sangat sedikit penelitian tentang kompatibilitas pemikiran politik Islam, yang berasal dari periode klasik dan pertengahan yang selama ini mempengaruhi politik Islam di Indonesia, dengan konteks Indonesia. Pemikiran Imam Al-Mawardi (hidup di abad ke-12) dan Taqiyuddin al-Nabhani (hidup di abad ke-20) patut disebut dalam hal ini. Pemikiran politik Islam Al-Mawardi menjadi rujukan penganut Sunni dan madzhab Syafii yang di Indonesia merupakan mayoritas. Sedangkan pemikiran politik Islam al-Nabhani menjadi pedoman dari gerakan HTI (Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia) yang pengikutnya tidak sedikit di Indonesia. Artikel ini menginvestigasi tentang pemikiran Imam Al-Mawardi dan Taqiyudin al-Nabhani terkait relasi agama (Islam) dan negara, perbedaan pemikiran mereka, dan kompatibilitas kedua pemikiran politik Islam tersebut di Indonesia. Studi ini menggunakan kajian pustaka yang mana sumber data primernya adalah kitab (buku) yang ditulis oleh kedua pemikir Islam tersebut yaitu Al-Ahkam al-Sulthaniyah karya Al-Mawardi dan Ad-Daulah al-Islamiyah karya al-Nabhani. Dengan menggunakan qualitative content analysis (analisis isi kualitatif) data dikumpulkan dan dianalisa. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa pemikiran politik Al-Mawardi telah diadopsi oleh mayoritas kaum Sunni di Indonesia dengan adaptasi atau penyesuaian dengan konteks Indonesia, sehingga kompatibel dengan konsep negara modern Indonesia. Sedangkan pemikiran al-Nabhani, yang tumbuh dalam semangat perlawanan terhadap kolonialisme dan dominasi kebudayaan Barat (Eropa Barat), diadopsi dan dikampanyekan oleh gerakan HTI di Indonesia tanpa penyesuaian dengan konteks lokal. Hal ini menyebabkan pemikiran al-Nabhani mengalami benturan dengan konsep negara modern Indonesia

Imigração e saúde: a (in)acessibilidade das mulheres imigrantes aos cuidados de saúde

A utilização dos serviços de saúde pelas populações imigrantes tem vindo a ser considerado um dos mais importantes indicadores da sua integração nas so- ciedades receptoras (Dias e col., 2009). No entanto, o conhecimento em torno da qualidade e da eficácia do acesso dos/as imigrantes aos cuidados de saúde, especialmente no que respeita às mulheres imigran- tes, é ainda escasso em Portugal (Fonseca e col., 2005). Embora os estudos nacionais tenham vindo, nas últimas décadas, a procurar traçar os diferentes perfis sociais das mulheres imigrantes em Portugal, sobretudo no que concerne às suas relações fami- liares ou laborais (Wall e col., 2005), a investigação no domínio da saúde é ainda parca e exclusora de uma análise centrada no género ou interseccional. Neste texto apresenta-se uma reflexão sobre os de- terminantes que condicionam a (in)acessibilidade das mulheres imigrantes aos cuidados de saúde, enfatizando-se os fatores que poderão estar a agir no sentido contrário à sua integração neste setor

Application of artificial neural networks in fall prediction

The problem of fall is still unsolved even though it is a serious problem, especially in group of elderly. Also, another difficulty is to analyse falls that occur in day-to-day life. Those events are hard to observe by specialists and so it is hard to analyse them. Following work contains a description of experimental process for external force-caused fall observation with the use of motion capture system and dynamometric platforms. Data collected according to this protocol were later used for time series neural networks. Obtained results of analysis were compared to popular model of human stability. Conducted inquiry proves that it is possible to detect fall even before it occurs and while it is external force-caused fall the loss of stability develops earlier than it was assumed

The Death of a Baby from the Congenital Anomalies of the Urinary Tract

A 36-year-old woman pregnant, G2 P1, presented at 27 weeks of gestation after two previous visits elsewhere, as an outpatient in a gynecological clinic. An ultrasound examination revealed bilateral hydronephrosis. Also, ureteral dilation and bladder overdistension was present (Figures 1-3). We evaluated that the cause was a urinary tract obstruction. Specifically, we are dealing with posterior urethral valves. The anteroposterior diameter of the pelvis on a transverse view of the abdomen was 6 mm. The amniotic fluid index (AFI) was 3 cm, so, oligohydramnios

Les populations migrantes a l'Hopital de l'Enfance de Lausanne (HEL): etat des lieux, prise en charge et apport des traducteurs-mediateurs culturels. [Migrant populations at the Hopital de l'Enfance of Lausanne (HEL): evaluation inquiry, taking care and contribution of cultural mediators-translators]

The number of patients belonging to migrant populations who consult Lausanne's Hopital de l'Enfance (HEL) has increased massively in an exponential manner. HEL is a facility dedicated to children with a vocation of public health and training in a university setting and it has to make a point of developing an adequate and pertinent health care system for these populations. In order to do this, a study was undertaken in the form of a prospective survey including over a thousand ambulatory patients. Administrative data (origin, date of migration, nature of the permit and legal situation), social data (home language, professional situation, number of siblings), medical (diagnosis) and psychosomatic data (sleep, enuresis) was recorded as well as data testing the level of understanding between carrier and patient. The study allowed us to define priorities of intervention: introduction of a service of translators--cultural mediators trained by the association "Appartenances" (as well as on going follow-up and assessment of this service), training of health care workers in the fields of cultural mediation and the different aspects of migrant population medicine and, finally, the creation of a steering group within the Institution. Having allowed rapid and spectacular improvement in the quality of the service provided by the HEL, this process is also included in the will to improve health care given to migrant populations at local and national levels in accordance with the priorities defined by the WHO in this domain. It is this experience which is reported in this paper

The Sustainable and Entrepreneurial Park? Contradictions and Persistent Antagonisms at Sydney's Olympic Park

Urban parks have long been used by policy makers to achieve specific policy goals. In recent years, two sets of policy goals have become commonly associated with park planning. The first set of goals can be characterized as being neoliberal, where parks have been built and reformed to generate certain economic and governmental outcomes. The second set of policy goals is associated with sustainability, where parks have been utilized as tools in such things as the mitigation of climate change and community building. The aim of this paper is to examine how these two sets of policy goals have come to coexist. The paper draws upon the case study of Sydney Olympic Park, a self-proclaimed exemplar of both entrepreneurial urban development and sustainability. The paper traces out the functional and institutional changes at the Park in order to read the relationship between neoliberal and sustainability policy goals. While predictable inconsistencies are found between the two sets of policy goals, the paper argues in conclusion that their contradictions have not generated a necessity to resolve their antagonistic relations. © 2013 Taylor & Francis
