This article discusses the common peculiarities of two eastern thinkers Ali bey Huseynzade (1864-1940) and Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1936). The main aim of the article is the investigation of the role of Ali Bey Huseynzade and Muhammad Iqbal in the formation of national identity among Indian and Azerbaijani muslims. The article argues that the political thoughts, speeches, and literary works of both thinkers served to form their nations and establish the independent national states. The first part of the article dedicated to achieving the formation of national identity through an Islamic revival. Both thinkers consider that it is possible to create conditions for a bright future for Muslims by restoring the former power of Islam. The second part devoted to the views of thinkers on the formation of a strong society through the application of Western science. The struggle to end colonial dependence and to benefit from scientific achievements of Europe at the same time were their main missions. Their contribution to the establishment of national independent states has been strongly studied in the third part of the article. As a result of the influence of Ali Bey and Iqbal, two independent states were formed in the East. Islamic values played an important role in the establishment of both states. In conclusion, the article once again emphasizes the contributions of both Eastern thinkers.
本文讨论了两位东方思想家阿里·贝·侯赛因扎德(1864-1940)和穆罕默德·伊克巴尔(1877-1936)的共同特点。本文的主要目的是调查Ali Bey Huseynzade和Muhammad Iqbal在印度和阿塞拜疆穆斯林形成民族认同的过程中所扮演的角色。文章认为,两位思想家的政治思想、言论和文学作品为他们的民族形成和独立的民族国家的建立起了作用。文章的第一部分致力于通过伊斯兰复兴实现国家认同的形成。两位思想家都认为,有可能通过恢复伊斯兰教以前的力量,为穆斯林的光明未来创造条件。第二部分论述了思想家们对运用西方科学形成强大社会的看法。他们的主要任务是结束殖民地的依赖,同时从欧洲的科学成就中获益。文章的第三部分着重研究了他们对建立民族独立国家的贡献。在阿里贝伊和伊克巴尔的影响下,东方形成了两个独立的国家。伊斯兰价值观在这两个国家的建立中都发挥了重要作用。总之,文章再次强调了两位东方思想家的贡献。

Islamic culture and political thought play an important role in Malaysia, a country whose official religion is Islam. The main objective of this study was to examine the level of Islamic political views among the Malay Muslim youths living in Malaysian suburban areas in electing political leaders. A quantitative method, using questionnaires as the research instrument, was employed in this study, which involved a total of 455 respondents, aged between 15 and 39 years old, from various backgrounds. The location of this study was in the Marang district, Terengganu. The study showed that most of the respondents (85.3%) agreed that it is very important for Islamic political values or characteristics to be practiced by political leaders. The findings also revealed that the Malay Muslim youths want a government that empowers the Islamic religion and safeguards the sovereignty of Islam and the nation.

Religious character is a positively measured moral value based on a permanent educational process, to help create an ethical framework and act as a socialization agent. This helps in building positive values such as love, empathy, respect, and harmony. Therefore, this study aims to determine a theoretical religious character construction model, for the development of a measurement scale. A quantitative approach was used by empirically testing the hypothetical factors of this theoretical character. A total of 320 respondents were also utilized as the population, with data measurement using the Aiken's-V formula, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results showed that (1) The theoretical construction model for religious character was determined by 6 indicators, namely intellect, belief, commitment, ritual, experience, and consequence, which were subsequently identified as moral knowledge, feelings, and actions, (2) The theoretical construction of this variable was declared fit due to meeting the eligibility criteria for the goodness-of-fit model on the AFI (absolute fit indices), IFI (incremental fit indices), PFI (parsimony fit indices), and critical-N. This construction had a reliability of 0.95, confirming that the model was fit for utilization, based on the compilation of a scale to measure students' religious character. These analytical results also helped in developing a religious character learning model.

In 2019, the Bangsamoro Parliament passed a legislation concerning the establishment of an education system that specifically caters to the learners of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. It defines where the Arabic language will be used for in ‘Madaris’ (Islamic educational institutions), who are qualified Arabic teachers, the general curriculum structure of the Bangsamoro public school system, and a mention of the non-Muslim Indigenous Peoples’ language and culture in their education system. Considering the Islamic orientation of the Bangsamoro education system within the overall Philippine education framework, the Bangsamoro Education Code primarily focuses on the Arabic, English, and Filipino languages as the primary linguistic requirements for educators, administrators, and mediums of instruction in the schools. The mother tongue of the learners is also an option as a medium of instruction in their educational linguistic landscape. However, existing studies found that Bangsamoro students struggle with the Arabic and English languages. Moreover, non-Muslim Indigenous Peoples are severely marginalized as there are no existing studies that could include them in the discourses. Grounded in applied linguistic and policy studies, this review article mentioned legislation in triangulation with existing linguistic studies on the region and developed prospective ways improve and expand the Bangsamoro Education Code.

Sayyid Qutb was a great thinker in Islamic religious matters. His writings and ideology were often used as reference by the Muslim community in the 20th century. Each piece of his writings contains implicit meanings that require in-depth understanding. However, his travelogue entitled Amrika Allati Ra’aytu or its English translation The America I Have Seen in the Scale of Human Values has received less attention than his other works. This travelogue is unique in that it mainly narrates the primitive side of the church institution in the United States (U.S), unlike his other works that are more neutral. This study, therefore, analysed this primitive perspective based on a selected theory known as othering theory. This qualitative research used the documentation and content analysis methods. The result of this study shows that while this travelogue mostly presents primitive connotation towards the church institution; based on the othering concept, it is an action of Sayyid Qutb as a nationalist who defended the Muslim community in Egypt at that time from being continuously colonised by Western ideologies. This study is hoped to provide a new perspective in religious studies, particularly from the aspect of religious criticism.
赛义德·库特布是伊斯兰宗教事务方面的伟大思想家。他的著作和思想在20世纪经常被穆斯林社会作为参考。他的每一篇文章都包含着隐含的含义,需要深入理解。然而,他的游记《Amrika Allati Ra 'aytu》或其英文译本《我在人类价值尺度中看到的美国》却没有他的其他作品受到那么多的关注。这部游记的独特之处在于,它主要讲述了美国教会制度的原始一面,而不像他的其他作品那样更加中立。因此,本研究基于一种被称为他者理论的理论来分析这种原始的观点。本定性研究采用文献资料法和内容分析法。研究结果表明,虽然该游记对教会制度多呈现原始内涵;基于另一种概念,这是Sayyid Qutb作为一名民族主义者的行动,他捍卫了当时埃及的穆斯林社区,使其免受西方意识形态的持续殖民。本研究希望为宗教研究提供一个新的视角,特别是从宗教批评的角度。

The decline of Islamic empires, most notably the Ottoman Empire, in the late 1800s and early 1900s proved to be a watershed moment in the development of modern Muslim societies. Western civilizations with their secular, modern, and exploitative ideas encroached on Muslim lands, beliefs, and way of life. Muslims who found themselves at a crossroads between the eventual collapse of their own political structure and the disputable, yet attractive prospects of Western modernism faced a revivalism that drove them to re-examine their place in a Westernizing and modernising world. The availability of publishing technology, as well as exposure to new ideas, aided in the dynamic changes occurring in Muslim societies during this time period. This article examines how Muslim societies responded to these developments in the past, and how the media played a critical role in their attempt to endure Western colonial threats while maintaining their Islamic beliefs.

Preachers are people who deliver Islamic message or speech to the communities around them. This is because the agenda of preaching has been inherent in a Muslim and preaching is also one of the duties of the previous prophets. In Malaysia, the participation of non-Malay preachers such as Indian and Chinese preachers in delivering preaching is constantly growing from time to time. Furthermore, the involvement of Indian Muslims in the arena of preaching still receives less attention in academic studies, although it is undeniable that they also play a role in developing da'wah in Malaysia. It can be seen, most academic studies focus more on aspects of converts such as the welfare of converts, the management of converts to the Indian community and others. Therefore, the objective of this study is to explore the true story of four Indian preachers in the context of their experiences before embracing Islam and their involvement in preaching. The methodology of this study is qualitative and involves the collection of data in the field. The results of the study found that their strength as Indian Muslim preachers was influenced by three elements, (i) their life and experience before embracing Islam, (ii) their exposure in the diversity of knowledge and, (iii) the external support that makes them have their own approach and principles in delivering da'wah.

Islamic religion emphasised siwak (chewing stick) use as tooth and mouth cleaning tool, but the practice that modelled towards the Prophet’s Muhammad, peace be upon him (PBUH) behaviour is unclear. A study was conducted via individual semi-structured interviews, aimed to explore and map various aspects of the siwak practice from the perspective of contemporary Muslim scholars. These experts concurred that current siwak users vary in their observance towards the purpose, handling and timing of the siwak routine. It is a concern that deviations from the Prophet’s actual practices may limit the advantages of siwak, cause adverse effects on oral tissues and falsely portray siwak as an inferior option among modern communities. Findings from this study are derived from a triangulation of literatures and modern-day scholars’ interpretation which may be used as a basis for developing future guidelines on effective and safe siwak practice that is well-fitted to contemporary modern lifestyle.
