Acehnese Women Struggle for Peace and Justice: Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Husin Asna 
Published: July 2021

We explore the concept of peace from a broader sense than merely the absence of war, through the eyes of Acehnese women who continue to strive for better political representation and social justice utilising Islam as their foundational point. The study analyses Islamic principles of peace, cultural beliefs and practices, as well as the political environment, which engulfed Aceh. Historical accounts and academic research form a theoretical base for our analysis, while interviews with influential women, Ulama leaders, political figures as well as community activists provide integral content for our survey. This inquiry concludes that in spite of widespread political conservatism being promoted by the GAM political party of Partai Aceh and parochial religious fanaticism being advocated by certain transnational groupings, women themselves provide hope for gender equality and empowerment. Women of the dayah (Islamic boarding school) and NGO activists may work together to pursue their Islamic endowment of peace and accomplish pragmatic actualisation of equality and justice.
Balancing Text and Context Through Maqasid-Based Ijtihad
Authors: Hazri Tengku Ahmad 
Published: July 2021

Contemporary ijtihad is faced with the challenge of relating the revealed text to the surrounding circumstances, i.e. the “text” to the “context” as Tariq Ramadan puts it. This is perhaps why ijtihad is often seen as the principal instrument by which reason is negotiated with revelation. But there may be instances where an asymmetry exists between the text and the context. In such scenarios, one remedy which has been proposed is for the text to be made adapted to the context. However, the context itself may sometimes be interpreted, understood and conceptualised within a framework that may be at odds with the objectives of Shari’ah (maqasid al-shariah). Maqasid-based ijtihad offers a possible way of converging, synthesising and harmonising the context and the text.
Lucrative Busines sof Othering
Authors: Bajrektarevic Anis H. 
Published: July 2021

One of the leading figures of Renaissance Europe, Dante, put the Prophet Muhammad in the eighth circle of Hell. The only individuals below Muhammad were Judas, Brutus, and Satan. As Rana Kabbani noted in her luminary piece, Imperial Fictions, “Islam was seen as the negation of Christianity, as anti-Europe…and Muhammed as an Antichrist in alliance with the Devil.” Nevertheless, both religions trace their origin back to Abraham. They also both lived in harmony (or at least cohabitated) within the Middle East (notably in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq). Why, then, was there no wider harmonious relationship between Christian Europe and the Middle East?
Sufism and Suzuki Shosan's Japanese Zen Teachings
Authors: Suzuki Yasushi 
Published: July 2021

This paper aims to compare the ways toward true enlightenment taught by Islam’s Sufi tradition and the Japanese Zen teacher, Suzuki Shosan. Despite differences in fundamental motivation and ultimate goal, the paper will identify a degree of compatibility between both traditions, particularly in terms of their emphasis on: (1) becoming moral and conveying ethical ideals, (2) devoting oneself to one’s daily work in the proper spirit, and (3) making services for society in order to overcome the obstacles which human beings frequently encounter. Although the peaceful and non-violent Sufi intellectual tradition has been denigrated by recent militant jihad movements and radical Islamism, this paper aims to shed an analytical light on the universal values and ethics Sufism shares with an Eastern religious teaching in order to contribute towards the promotion of an atmosphere of moderation in society.
Mottainai Ethics and the Sustainability of Our World
Authors: Suzuki Yasushi 
Published: July 2021

The International Seminar on Islam and Green Technology, held on 16 November 2016 at IAIS Malaysia, suggested that a considerable gap exists between the ideals of Islamic teachings on environmental protection and the realities of the practices of Muslim individuals and communities. Many speakers therefore proposed that we should ‘change’ our consumption and production behaviours in accordance with the normative teachings of the Qur’an and hadith, which emphasise mankind’s accountability and responsibility towards maintaining balance and harmony in what Allah the Almighty has created. Here I would like to introduce the Japanese ethical concept of ‘mottainai’ in the hope that it can contribute to further discussions on the sustainability of our world.
Statistics in Islamic Scriptures and Legacy
Authors: Ali Qazi M. , Farooq Mohammad Omar 
Published: July 2021

Statistics as a modern discipline has emerged and developed as part of the development of scientific inquiry. While Islamic civilisation has contributed to many key areas of modern knowledge, statistics is one area that has rarely been explored in this context. This paper examines the concept of statistics in Islamic scriptures, particularly the Qur’an, and how the concept has evolved in the history of Islamic civilisation. Evidence presented in the paper sheds important light on how close the modern concept of statistics is to the term al-ihsa’ the Qur’an
Islamist Movements and the Arab Spring
Authors: Al-Arian Abdullah 
Published: July 2021

The Arab uprisings of 2011, popularly known as the Arab Spring, were first initiated by a broad range of movements shaped primarily by a non-ideological sense of civic identity. As the uprisings gained momentum, however, Islamist groups were able to utilise their organisational strength and mobilisation capabilities to position themselves at the centre of this watershed moment in modern Middle Eastern history. This article examines the role Islamism came to play in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, notably in the reformulation of the norms of regional governance as authoritarian rule appeared poised to be replaced by a system rooted in democratic legitimacy, independent institutions, and a redefined relationship between the state and its citizens. The article begins with a consideration of the evolution of political Islam in the Arab world, from its origins as a significant social movement actor to its various attempts at political engagement with the state. The articlethen proceeds to a more explicit examine of both political Islams role in the Arab Spring and its apparent intentions for the post-authoritarian order. It is argued that, since the Arab uprisings took place, many Islamist groups have abandoned abstract slogans in favour of coherent political platforms concerned with, amongst other things, the role of Islam in a revised constitution and determining the powers and responsibilities of state institutions. Looking ahead to long-term trends, the interpretation of Shariah, understanding the nature of the civil state, and the shape of democratic participation appear set to become crucial issues within Islamist discourse. The realities of rule, requiring pragmatism and compromise, will almost certainly challenge the ideological orientation of political Islam in the coming years, as Islamists come to realise that political survival is predicated not on ideological purity but on practical results.
A Perfect Nicking Pattern
Authors: Nash Richard 
Published: July 2021

The ideological underpinnings of the Early Modern practice of animal breeding that brought into being the animal now designated as the thoroughbred horse are explored here by attending to the terminology and original meaning of a breeding theory that persists even in contemporary practice, albeit in a dramatically altered form from its eighteenth-century origins. A significant component of today’s multi-billion dollar commercial breeding industry is a tool of analysis known as attention to “nicking patterns” — patterns that inform decisions about managed breeding of stallions and mares. Moving quickly beyond a brief discussion of how nicking patterns function today to locate the origin of this theory in Early Modern Animal Breeding practice; the discussion proceeds to illustrate how this practice keeps in play a series of underlying tensions that operate as powerfully in our current era as in the age in which the thoroughbred arose.
Human-Animal Interaction in Post-Tsunami Japan
Authors: Kajiwara Hazuki 
Published: July 2021

This paper explores the interaction between humans and their companion animals after the large tsunami which hit the northeast coast of Japan on 11 March 2011. Interviews, observation and fieldwork were used to assemble ethnographic accounts for 35 owners of companion animals who were assigned to temporary housing complexes where they are still living. A notion of “companion animal first” could be detected in the data. This way of thinking might be defined as an ethical stance whereby the companion animal is given a very high value or net worth. Since there are few studies on companion animal in Japan at times when large-scale natural disasters occur, this research may contribute to the small but growing amount of qualitative research on human-animal relationships and interaction during and after disasters in an Asian country, thereby adding a sense of urgency to the need for comparative research in this important sphere of social life in most societies.
The Future of the Extinction Plot
Authors: Schuster Joshua 
Published: July 2021

Extinction narratives are typically divided into two streams: last human stories that usually depict apocalyptic ends for the planet, and last animal stories that cast a melancholy look at species finitude but view modernity continuing as usual. But as animal extinction rates are rising now across the planet, these narratives can no longer be seen as distinct. This essay discusses the convergence of these extinction plots in Octavia Butler’s Xenogenesis trilogy (also called Lilith’s Brood). Finished in 1989, this trilogy brings contemporary science on genetic modification and gene banking into the purview of a science fiction story about an alien species interested in mating with humans, a nearly extinct species due to nuclear war, in order to absorb their genetic material. Butler’s novel examines issues central to biopolitics and animal studies that appear specifically at the threshold of extinction events. This essay discusses the ways her novel calls upon the reader to think self-reflexively about how extinction and genetic knowledge intertwine in contemporary cultural and scientific debates about the decline of biodiversity.
Bees Making Art
Authors: Kosut Mary , Moore Lisa Jean 
Published: July 2021

In many cultural fields honeybees reveal themselves as a highly generative species; one that humans have become dependent on. Within the backdrop of Colony Collapse Disorder, this essay examines how live bees are used in the production of art works. Historically, bees have been an absent presence in art as artists have relied upon bees for the raw material they create (wax, honeycomb) and for their metaphorical value. Most recently, bees themselves have become art by being transformed into sculptural objects or employed in collaborative insect/human performances that depend upon their embodied labor and participation. Using a bee-centric approach, we track the bees’ path across human art worlds, attentive to the complex ecological, agricultural, and cultural systems they co-create. These interspecies exchanges testify not only to trends in contemporary art, but larger ideas about animal/human boundaries and contemporary environmental issues.
Gender and Power in Narratives of “Natural Horsemanship”
Authors: Tom Erica 
Published: July 2021

It is widely recognized by equestrians that Natural Horsemanship has helped to create better lives for horses, but what are the effects of the discipline among humans? The narratives of the leading exponents of Natural Horsemanship, Monty Roberts and Buck Brannaman, use ethological language to argue that their background of surviving childhood abuse by their fathers allows them to understand the position of “prey animals,” which includes both horse and woman. I posit that Roberts’s and Brannaman’s narratives produce a “prey-identified masculinity” that allows them, as traditional cowboy types (white, broad and tall), to lead the primarily female followed discipline. An examination of the discourse of Natural Horsemanship illuminates the function of gender essentialism, and yet also demonstrates how gender fluidity is encouraged as masculine and feminine body language is employed by men and women in the discipline.

تأثير الإعلان على سلوك المستهلك
Authors: هارون د.علي حامد 
Published: July 2021

انطلاقاً من مشكلة البحث التي تبلورت في السؤال الرئيس: ما مدى تأثير الإعلان على سلوك المستهلك؟ يهدف البحث إلى تحديد مفهوم الإعلان وتوضيح خصائصه والوظائف التي ينبغي أن يؤديها، وكذلك تحديد مفهوم سلوك المستهلك وتوضيح خصائصه وأهمية دراسته للمؤسسات المنتجة، وأيضاً إبراز العوامل (الداخلية والخارجية) المؤثرة على سلوك المستهلك، وأخيراً الكشف عن مدى التأثير الذي ينبغي أن يحدثه الإعلان على سلوك المستهلك، واستخدم الباحث المنهج الوصفي لمعالجة محاور البحث.
ومن خلال الأهداف التي سعى البحث إلى تحقيقها فقد خرج الباحث باستنتاجات أهمها:
-هناك عوامل تؤثر على سلوك المستهلك عند شروعه في اتخاذ قرار الشراء لما يحتاجه من المنتجات تتمثل في نوعين من العوامل هما: العوامل الداخلية والخارجية المؤثرة على سلوك المستهلك.
-يؤثر الإعلان على سلوك المستهلك؛ وتتم عملية التأثير من خلال: التوعية بوجود المُنتج، التزويد بالمعلومات المهمة، توضيح المميّزات والفوائد، التذكير والإعادة، التحفيز وأخيراً الاستجابة السلوكية. -لا يمكن أن يحقق الإعلان التأثير المطلوب والنتائج المرغوبة بمفرده؛ ولابد أن تمتاز المنتجات بالجودة وتقدم في شكل يجعل المستهلكين يقبلون على شرائها، وأن تكون أسعارها مناسبة.
وبناءً على استنتاجات البحث فقد أوصى الباحث بالآتي:
-زيادة الاهتمام بدراسة سلوك المستهلك حتى تستطيع المؤسسات اكتشاف فرص تسويقية جديدة وتطوير منتجاتها، وذلك لا يتأتى إلا من خلال الاستجابة للتغيرات في حاجات ورغبات المستهلكين. -الإلمام التام بالعوامل الداخلية والخارجية التي تؤثر على سلوك المستهلك عند شروعه في اتخاذ قرار الشراء لما يحتاجه من السلع والخدمات.
-التركيز على جودة المنتجات المعلن عنها بما يتناسب مع رغبات المستهلكين واحتياجاتهم ومراعاة مستوى الدخل عند تحديد أسعار المنتجات.
