Fertility management of cotton (1993)

The proper fertilization of cotton is difficult to determine because many variables can affect development and production. Anything that causes plant stress will affect nutrient uptake. Some factors involved are: soil texture, drainage, field preparation, weather, variety, time of planting, plant populations, emergence and stand, previous crop, and carry-over fertility and/or chemicals. A current soil test is still the best tool for taking the guesswork out of fertilization, and a balanced fertility program is necessary for good yields.David W.

Muhammadiyah making Indonesia's Islamic moderation based on maqāṣid sharī`ah

Muhammadiyah, as an Islamic organization together with Nahdatul Ulama, are two Islamic organizations that oversee Islamic moderation in Indonesia. The role of Muhammadiyah in developing the idea of Islamic moderation has been manifested in educational institutions, social services, almsgiving, and health institutions such as Muhammadiyah hospitals. This research used qualitative methods based on manuscripts from journal articles, books, and interviews with expert narrators as material for analyzing the themes studied. This article is based on the theory of maqāṣid sharī`ah put forward by Jasser Auda, which provides a framework for understanding Islamic law based on multidisciplinary obedience and paying attention to the main purpose of Islamic law, not to its legal consequences. The study found that Muhammadiyah, an Islamic organization, is the guardian and propagator of moderate Islam in Indonesian society. Muhammadiyah activities for all citizens have no limits to religion. However, there were considerable obstacles to spreading Islamic moderation by Muhammadiyah. These obstacles come from internal Muslims who consider that Islamic moderation promoted by Muhammadiyah can weaken the Islamic creed of Muslims. They are less familiar with applying maqāṣid sharī`ah in understanding and practicing Islamic law in Indonesia. They are textualists towards the Qur’an and hadith

Sharīʻa, Islamism and Arab support for democracy

The Arab Spring and its aftermath reignited the debate over the relationship between Islamism and democracy. This analysis improves upon previous research by demonstrating the crucial contribution which a more precise understanding of the multiple meanings of the concept of Sharīʻa can have on our assessment of the future of democracy in the Arab world. While support for the Sharīʻa-conformity of laws has a positive impact on the preference for democracy, the insistence that Sharīʻa represents the word of God as opposed to the human attempt to interpret it reduces support for democracy. These findings are of considerable significance for academics and policy-makers interested in the future of democracy in the Arab world as it suggests that generic expressions of support for Sharīʻa are less relevant in explaining support for democracy than what Arab women and men consider to be its essence
