Conservative Judaism is the mediating group between Orthodox and Reform Judaism. It claimed to uphold basic traditions, at the same time adjusting to modern life in its effort for reconstruction of religious thought. It also contended that it is necessary to redefine and reinterpret the main concepts of faith in accordance to modern science and knowledge. This paper attempts at highlighting the position of Conservative Judaism on selected issues for reconstruction of religious thought, namely, the interpretation of law, the application of law, and the position of women. The paper concluded that although Conservative Judaism appeared as a mediating group between traditionalists and secularists, it disregarded their scriptures and relied more on human interpretations. They regarded modern knowledge and rational explanations as primary references rather than the scriptures.

The debate about the ru’yah Allah was started by Mu’tazilites as early as 100 Hijri. They deny that Allah can be seen by the Mu’min in the hereafter with the argument of tanzih mutlaq. Al-Ash‘arī, who was born around the third century of Hijri, debated this issue according to the framework of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama‘ah. He wrote a book named al-Luma‘ and discussed the specific issue of the ru’yah Allah aimed to counter-argue the Mu’tazilites’s understanding. This study analyzes the debate of ru’yah Allah presented by Muslim scholars in general and al-Asha‘rī in particular. This study aims to highlight the importance of ru’yah Allah’s discussion in Kalām discourse and to provide understanding into this issue according to al-Ash‘arī’s perspective through the translation of his great work in the debate on ru’yah Allah’s. This study uses comparative analysis methods, historical based analysis as well as inductive and deductive text analysis. The study found that the ru’yah Allah was an important issue in the debate on Kalām because almost all scholars of the time, salaf or khalaf discussed this issue in their books. The study also found that al-Ash‘arī had successfully solved the entire problem of ru’yah Allah in al-Luma‘ in order to provide understanding to the public in eradicating the teachings of Mu’tazilites.

Mu’tazilites believed that al-Husn and al-Qubh could be determined and evaluated intellectually without the need for shara‘. Despite of agreeing with such views of al-Husn and al-Qubh, al-Maturidiyyah still rejected the Muktazilah’s opinion on rewards and sins and asserted that both were determined by shara‘, rather than by rational study. There are those who believed that the rewards and sins of all acts depend on shara‘ and they also agreed that reason can judge it. Besides, there are those who claimed the rewards and sins of some acts are merely valued by reason. This research used analytical descriptive method based on inductive to study al-Zamakhshari and al-Nasafi’s views on al-Husn and al-Qubh and to make comparisons between the two views. The study concludes that al-Zamakhshari insisted that reason is able to know the law of Allah on something based on al-Husn and al-Qubh because it is inherent in its actions. Thus, al-Zamakhshari interpreted verses containing the meanings of al-Husn and al-Qubh in the interpretation of ‘aqli and majazi, while al-Nasafi argued that reason can understand the meaning of perfection and imperfection and al-Husn and al-Qubh without shara‘. On the one hand, there was no disputed between al-Zamakhshari and al-Nasafi on al-Hasan is a state of perfection and al-Qabih is a deficiency. Nonetheless, when it comes to the issue of rewards and punishments associated with such actions, both were disputed against each other.
Mu ' tazilites认为，al-Husn和al-Qubh可以在不需要shara的情况下被智力决定和评估。尽管赞同胡森和库伯的观点，马图里迪耶仍然拒绝穆克塔齐拉关于奖赏和罪恶的观点，并断言两者都是由shara决定的，而不是由理性研究决定的。有些人相信所有行为的回报和罪恶都取决于shara，他们也同意理性可以判断它。此外，还有一些人声称，某些行为的回报和罪恶仅仅是由理性来衡量的。本研究采用基于归纳的分析描述性方法，对al-Zamakhshari和al-Nasafi关于al-Husn和al-Qubh的观点进行研究，并对两种观点进行比较。这项研究的结论是，al-Zamakhshari坚持认为，理性能够在基于husn和al-Qubh的事物上了解安拉的法则，因为这是其行为所固有的。因此，al-Zamakhshari在解释aqli和majazi时解释了含有al-Husn和al-Qubh含义的经文，而al-Nasafi则认为理性可以理解完美和不完美以及al-Husn和al-Qubh的含义，而不需要shara。一方面，al-Zamakhshari和al-Nasafi之间没有争议，al-Hasan是一个完美的状态，al-Qabih是一个缺陷。然而，当涉及到与这些行为相关的奖励和惩罚问题时，两者之间存在争议。

Ibn Ḥazm has been among the most vocal supporters of Aristotelian logic, yet enjoys strong sympathies from scholars hostile to logic. This paper is an attempt to harness the sympathies of this group of scholars for Ibn Ḥazm to prompt them to revisit their position of antagonism. In order to achieve this objective, the paper discusses two issues; first, it discusses Ibn Hazm’s essential confidence and defense of Aristotelian logic; at the same time, it addresses his criticism of some of Aristotle’s premises and assumptions without in anyway undermining his deep sense of appreciation for Aristotle. The second issue highlight, through three examples, the shallowness of the accusation – of individuals both in the past and the present –levelled against Ibn Hazm that he, when criticizing Aristotle, displayed ignorance of his ideas. The paper concludes that his criticism depicts a well-informed independent personality with a sound understanding and that there is reason enough for those antagonistic towards logic to start giving serious thought to what Ibn Ḥazm has to offer in this regard.

Diversity is sunnatullah as reflected in surah al-Hujurat 49, verse 13. However, diversity also triggers different ideologies that cause problems especially in relation to the religious community. As such, diversity and unity is one of the point of questions that requires particular attention in the context of Malaysia’s own diverse ethnicity and racial beliefs community. The question of diversity and unity is not a straight forward matter as it relates to all aspects of life as a medium in the relationship of religious community in the context of fiqh al-ta‘ayush (co-existence). There are many issues that affects the Muslims and non-Muslims inferior feelings. This paper emphasized on the concept of diversity in the context of ta‘amul (interaction) that bases on ta‘aruf (knowing each other), tasamuh (tolerance) ta‘awun (helping each other), takaful (sacrifice) and mahabbah (loving and caring); which are based on fiqh al-ta‘ayush. In conclusion, this writing found that diversity embodied the relationship of religious community towards unity and better understanding of the religious philosophical aspect to build al-ta‘ayush among adherents and thus create a harmonic religious life.

This study examines ideas of two scholars from a different philosophical and religious background. Each of them attempts to provide philosophical and religious justifications for the possibility of prophecy. Abu Hāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 1111) views the notion of prophecy from the Islamic philosophical perspective while Maimonides (d. 1204) discusses it from the Jewish tradition. Modern philosophical and religious studies on the concept of prophecy tend to establish supremacy of certain religious tradition over others. This article presents a comparative account of religious and philosophical contexts in which such tendency of superiority occurs, at the same time, a shared basis of mutual understanding exists. While al-Ghazālī and Maimonides have disagreements on who has the right of the office of prophecy based on the interpretation of their respective religious scriptures, they have an agreement regarding the capacity of human beings in reaching the prophethood. Both employ a philosophical justification to arrive at the conclusion stating that human beings can reach the office of prophecy by using their rational and imaginative faculty. This philosophical exploration and confidence on human reason are both interesting and important for building a solid foundation of respectful dialogue and mutual understanding.

This study primarily seeks to find out the impact of modern schools of thought, their reading of revelation (wahy) and their attempt to turn the sacred constant to the human variable that allows absolute and infinite interpretation. This study also examines the theories, doctrines and philosophical foundations that were the reason for the existence of these schools. It also investigates the applications of these modern thoughts on doctrines. This study aims at demonstrating the methodological and scientific imbalance of these schools of thought and their projections on revelation. The study makes use of a comparative analytical approach that analyses and assesses these schools and approaches. The study concludes that Hermeneutics as a modern approach take on interpreting the holy text and in particular in regard to belief issues are far from the best practices of interpretation and that they distort the source of meaning and message.

Understanding of al-Asma’ al-Husna among Muslims is something that Islam advocates as embodied in the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.). All the instructions from Allah SWT and the Messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h.) are certainly privileges to Muslims. Among his privileges is the impulse to inculcate al-sidq (trueness) in a Muslim individual. This paper aims to explain the concept and method of understanding al-Asma’ al-Husna based on al-Ghazali’s thought (d. 505). The relationship between the understanding of al-Asma’ al-Husna and the characteristics of al-sidq that can be formed in Muslim individuals will also be explained. This paper uses text analysis methodology focused on al-Ghazali’s al-Maqsad al-Asna fi Sharh Asma’ Allah al-Husna. This paper concludes that a correct understanding of al-Asma’ al-Husna will help and encourage a Muslim individual to possess al-sidq as there is a significant relationship between al-Asma’ al-Husna and understanding of al-sidq.
穆斯林对al-Asma ' al-Husna的理解是伊斯兰教提倡的，体现在古兰经和先知的圣训中。所有来自安拉SWT和安拉使者(p.b.u.h)的指示当然是穆斯林的特权。在他的特权中，有一种冲动就是向穆斯林个人灌输al-sidq(真)。本文旨在解释基于al-Ghazali (d. 505)思想的理解al-Asma ' al-Husna的概念和方法。对al-Asma ' al-Husna的理解与穆斯林个体可能形成的al-sidq特征之间的关系也将被解释。本文使用文本分析方法，重点研究al-Ghazali的al-Maqsad al-Asna fi Sharh Asma ' Allah al-Husna。本文的结论是，对al-Asma ' al-Husna的正确理解将有助于并鼓励穆斯林个人拥有al-sidq，因为al-Asma ' al-Husna与对al-sidq的理解之间存在着重要的关系。
