This study begins with the notion that some religious groups engage in intolerance and violence directed at members of their religious community and at people of other religions. This shatters interfaith relationships. In addition, religion is being accused to be the reason for intolerance and a source of conflict and chaos. Conversely, Islamic teachings can be used as approaches in managing religious communities and social interaction. An example is the concept of ihsan. The purpose of this study is to explain the concept of ihsan as an approach to fostering the interreligious relationship. This qualitative research used library research for data collection from books, journal articles, and documents related to the management of religious diversity and the concept of ihsan. The collected data were processed using descriptive analytics. With both methods, the researcher reports and presents the collected data to be analyzed and concluded. This research finally found that the concept of ihsan which contains ‘witnessing’ and ‘supervision’ is appropriate for use by Muslims as an approach to managing the plurality of religious communities. This is because Muslim, while always remaining steadfast in their faith, can still establish positive relationships with those who practice other religions using the ihsan approach.

This study aims to explain the concept of resilience from the Islamic perspective. This study used qualitative methodology with a literature approach. The results showed that the phenomenon of religious human behavior should not only be judged by the lens of modern secular psychology theory, but also by the theory of psychology based on Islamic values. It is because they have different frames in looking at reality; and resilience in Islam is an obligation. Having resilient personalities, in Islamic teaching, means individuals’ iman (faith) should be tested. Humans are motivated to have resilience after getting life’s problems with the Covid-19 issue. Individuals’ faith has not reached a high level of spirituality when they have not been tested. There are some personalities in Islam that are in line with the concept of resilience for overcoming the Covid-19 issue in positive psychology such as sabr, tawakkal, shukr, rida, ikhlas and tawbah. In order to increase resilience in overcoming the Covid-19 issue, Sufis provide spiritual training such as takhalli, tahalli, and tajalli.

Religious beliefs have always been the stimulating motives for human behavior. Man’s need for religion is not specified to a certain era in time. Rather, it extends over all the times and eras; as a man still invokes religion in the face of ever-rising challenges. One of the most serious of these challenges that humans constantly face is epidemics and diseases. There is no doubt that the two religions, Christianity and Islam, enjoy a high moral heritage. This study aimed to demonstrate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on societies, and the importance of Islamic and Christian values in dealing with the pandemic in different societies of the world, by reviewing and analyzing the discourse of religious scholars and priests, and through the sacred texts of the two religions, in addition to reviewing the studies that discussed the pandemic and religious values. The study explained how the Islamic and Christian religious discourses employed morals to confront the pandemic, as they supported and emphasized the precautionary measures, such as home quarantine and social distancing. They also stressed the need for unity, cooperation and solidarity to confront the pandemic in order to preserve the security of societies.

History and pandemics are two inseparable entities, yet often forgotten. The occurrence of a pandemic in a certain time and place has always become a critical object of study and documentation, thus generating innumerable research literature. This research attempts to re-state the urgency of historical literature as a source of knowledge on dealing with the Covid-19 crisis through the religious scholars’ approach. The data were compiled through observation and literature review with content analysis method on Bażl al-Māʿūn of Ibn Ḥajr al-ʿAsqalānī, a classic book containing pandemic studies sourced from hadith and the history of the early Muslim community. The result of this study reveals that classical religious literature as historical knowledge could provide contextual solutions for society. The study of the historical works not only gives clues on the past events but also provides material to contextualise the attempt to build newly-induced awareness in the community. Learning from past events teaches society that pandemics are recurring events. Some similarities and differences are seen in every part of the pandemic. Thus, religious scholars serve as agents who disseminate the lesson learned from the past to prevent the recurrence of similar events in the future. This way, people of today should refer to the past to set some appropriate strategies for coping with the pandemic. Likewise, a historical account mentions the relevance of some terminologies that are currently used around Covid-19.
历史和大流行病是两个不可分割的实体，但往往被遗忘。流行病在某个时间和地点的发生一直是研究和记录的重要对象，从而产生了无数的研究文献。本研究试图通过宗教学者的方法，重申历史文献作为应对新冠肺炎危机的知识来源的紧迫性。数据是通过对伊本Ḥajr al- ahu Asqalānī的Bażl al- mahu ūn的文献观察和内容分析方法进行的，这是一本经典书籍，其中包含来自圣训和早期穆斯林社区历史的流行病研究。研究结果显示，古典宗教文献作为历史知识，可以为社会提供情境解决方案。对历史作品的研究不仅为过去的事件提供了线索，而且为在社区中建立新诱导意识的尝试提供了背景材料。从过去的事件中吸取教训告诉社会，流行病是反复发生的事件。在大流行的每个部分都可以看到一些相似之处和差异。因此，宗教学者充当了传播过去经验教训的代理人，以防止类似事件在未来再次发生。这样，今天的人们应该参考过去，制定一些适当的战略来应对这一流行病。同样，历史记载提到了目前与Covid-19相关的一些术语的相关性。

In Islamic thought, human development in general and sustainable development in education, in particular, is two of the pillars underpinning community development and awareness. These pillars are the mechanisms that would raise and invest in people’s awareness without depleting their energy and efforts, ensuring that wealth and development are perpetuated for generations to come. With revelation and reason as underpinning references, Islamic thought preaches the same pillars and concepts through the five necessities that Islam underlines as a reference for developing people and protecting them against being drained in any form. In view of this, the present paper has sought to review sustainable development in education and the relevant theories in the light of Islamic thought during crises (COVID-19 pandemic as a model). This endeavour is to identify the common ground between general theories of sustainable development in education and the foundations laid by Islamic thought under crises and pandemics based on revelation. The study aimed to solve pending educational issues and look for effective solutions through the sustainable development strategy and the relevant Islamic theories. The study applied the descriptive analytical method to identify and examine these theories. It was concluded that Islamic thought has both depth and inclusiveness, along with a continued momentum to achieve educational development, sustainability, and growth through the foundations it has laid for attaining sustainable development in education.

This article explains how the Indonesian Government’s policies on handling the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on the Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 82 Year 2020 concerning the Committee on Handling the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) and National Economic Recovery, Indonesia’s policy integrated health and economic strategies. The regulation adopted an interdisciplinary strategy moving towards multidisciplinarity in handling Covid-19 whereby both were deemed insufficient. The theoretical framework in this study applied Ken Wilber’s Universal Integralism or Holonic Integralism. This research employs the method of comparison of thinking. The present study establishes a transdisciplinary policy for handling Covid-19 in Indonesia with four strategies: subjective, objective, intersubjective, and interobjective. The researcher compares Indonesian Muslim thinkers on the four strategies models, namely Kuntowijoyo representing the subjective and objective strategy model, M. Amin Abdullah representing the intersubjective strategy model, and Yudian Wahyudi representing the inter-objective strategy model. This finding implies that the handling of Covid-19 in Indonesia will be more synergistic and interconnected between all sectors of human life.

This study explores key questions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Islamic position on it. The significance of this research lies not only in the different answers it provides regarding this issue, but also in the questions it coins to win the bet of waking the collective social consciousness and convincing it of the necessity of Islam in such circumstances as a guide and guard of human stability. This research pursues an analytical methodology that is partly deconstructive and partly historical as it traces the positions Islam took in response to epidemics based on the collective consciousness of the society in its specific historical context. It is the goal of this study to develop an understanding of the way religion responds to pandemics and its ability to help overcome its negative impact through unique intellectual and creedal powers that lie in its foundational fundamentals. The main result of the research is that Islamic jurisprudence and its purposes are strongly present and are some of the most important factors of intellectual advancement in facing the most important developments in the reality of the human being.

The word ‘sejahtera’ or in English known as well-being or prosperity is widely used in Nusantara as a fundamental concept of human existence which is usually applied to various dimensions of life: physical, spiritual, intellectual, emotional, economic, political, governance, educational, social, cultural and religious. Furthermore, the Malay concept of ‘sejahtera’ has received wide attention from our community during this pandemic COVID-19 to ensure communities health. It is an important concept that deals with the issue of quality of life, society and civilisation as well. Given its importance, nurturing, and sustaining of a humane, peaceful, balanced and prosperous civilisation in this period of heightened global crises, in which most of mankind are currently starving for ‘sejahtera’ and struggling against an unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, the Malay concept of ‘sejahtera’ will be reviewed from an Islamic thought perspective to build an alternative paradigm of holistic and sustainable development from the worldview of Tawḥīd. The study found that the Malaysian government’s MySejahtera programme, which uses a digital platform to serve as a one-stop shop, can help in a way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in line with national law in achieving Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah.

Since the emergence of the global challenges of COVID-19 pandemic, its impact could be widely viewed in various human society aspects, such as education, business trading and also social interaction limit. Apart from many discussions on the pandemic from a wide range of such perspectives, scholarly attention is still rarely mainly in trying to elaborate the critical overview from an Islamic perspective following theological, historical, and sociological points of view. In this paper, the critical elaboration of the pandemic has been widely discussed by analysing the contents of sacred scriptures and responses from an Islamic point of view. The literature was critically conducted from religious sources such as the Qur’an and Hadith, and also related contemporary works. The finding reveals that the pandemic has been given full attention as stated in the Qur’an and narrated in Hadith by taking a lesson from pandemics and strategically battling the pandemic. The following attentions were addressed in order to strengthen the Muslim community and society in order to support the health protocols arranged by the local and international health organizations. The value is that religion’s clear comprehension could give continued support to encourage the Muslim community especially and general society at large in the attempts to battle the spreading pandemic.

Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, is a prominent Malay thinker who has promoted Islamization of present-day knowledge as a solution for the dilemma of Muslims. With that, he has also developed his original thought in various fields. His thought in the field of ethics, the content of adab, the central concept in his system of thought, and the essential teaching of Islam, is hardly elaborated. Thanks to that, it seems crucial to look into his view on ethical norms – its basis and principles – in such a way that his Islamization of ethics by means of infusing worldview of Islam into universal concept of ethics – a concept whose definition is universal, because its element can be found in any specific definition belonging to any worldview – can be known subsequently. Theory of Islamization of present-day knowledge – isolation and infusion process – is used for analyzing al-Attas’ view on ethical norms and theory of transparent worldview is applied also for analyzing his Islamization of ethics. Finally, according to al-Attas, the basis of ethics is religion approved by sound reason, knowledge, and the freedom of the will, whereas its principles are self-perfection, freedom, true faith and knowledge, happiness, and individual contract. As for his Islamized concept of ethics, it is a permanent attitude, action, assertion, and consideration belonging to spiritual aspect of man in his relation to his self, God, society, and state.
