Ketika Al-Qur"an Berbicara Cinta

Cinta memiliki peranan penting dalam kehidupan dan memiliki kuasa yang cukup dominan dalam banyak persoalan. Tak jarang cinta yang dianggap indah justru melahirkan korban yang bernasib tragis dan menyayat hati. Betapa banyak cinta yang menghidupkan orang yang jiwanya mati. Dan betapa banyak cinta yang membunuh orang yang hatinya hidup. Menjadi menarik ketika ada anggapan sebagian orang yang mengatakan bahwa cinta tidak memiliki definisi pasti, arahan yang jelas, persepsi yang abstrak dan lain-lain. Dalam buku ini, Syekh Muhammad Said Ramadhan Al-Buthi memberikan penjelasan yang amat jelas terkait cinta seperti apa yang sebaiknya dimiliki oleh umat Islam. Berikut dengan segala seluk-beluk tipuan cinta, salah kaprah soal cinta, tujuan cinta, hakikat cinta, harmonisasi cinta antara manusia dengan Tuhannya dan lain sebagainya. Oleh sebab itu, cinta tidak boleh tiada tapi juga tidak boleh leluasa. Dengan cinta manusia menjadi istimewa di sisi Sang Pencipta. Tanpa cinta, manusia tidak lebih sekadar hamba yang tidak berharga lebih di sisi Tuhan. Cinta menjadi hal penting dalam Islam. Pembahasan cinta tak luput pula dari Hadis. Dalam pembahasan cinta, Rasulullah pernah bersabda, “Wahai Rasulullah! Apakah yang dimaksud iman? Rasulullah shallallâhu alaihi wasallam menjawab: Yaitu apabila Allah dan Rasul-Nya lebih kamu cintai daripada selain keduanya. (HR. Ahmad) Seperti sebuah belati, cinta memiliki dua sisi. Dengan cinta manusia menjadi mulia, dan dengan cinta pula manusia bisa binasa. Maka yang dibutuhkan adalah bagaimana kita menggunakan "belati cinta" ini agar menjadi makhluk yang mulia di sisi Tuhan dan terhindar dari kebinasaan. Syekh Muhammad Said Ramadhan Al-Buthi memaparkannya secara gamblang dalam buku ini. Mengetahui seluk-beluk cinta, tata cara, dan tujuannya menjadikan kita hidup lebih indah bersama cinta. Indah di dunia dan tentu saja indah di akhirat kelak.

The Impeachment of Andrew Johnson

While it is commonly known that Andrew Johnson was the first president to be impeached, less well known are the circumstances that led to the unsuccessful campaign to remove him from office. This account of Johnson's political life in Washington (including brief coverage of his early career in Tennessee) focuses on his conflict with the Radical Republicans, a group of fanatical abolitionists who, after Lincoln's assassination, sought to dominate American government and punish the South as harshly as possible. Johnson's focus on healing the nation and his refusal to submit to the Radicals' demands led to his impeachment. Though Johnson was acquitted, his impeachment clearly illustrates the danger when one branch of government tries to dominate the others. This chronicle of the first U.S. presidential impeachment covers in detail the political forces that nearly removed him from office. Numerous illustrations, a bibliography and an index are included.

Dakwah melalui Pendekatan Komunikasi Antarbudaya

Melacak Aktivitas Dakwah Nabi Muhammad pada Masyarakat Madinah

Keanekaragaman budaya manusia merupakan keniscayaan yang tidak dapat dielakkan, namun budaya perlu dicermati karena tidak sepenuhnya budaya yang berkembang dalam masyarakat baik dan membawa kemaslahatan bagi manusia meskipun budaya tersebut sudah ada dan berkembang di tengah-tengah masyarakat seperti kebiasaan pesta dengan minum minuman keras dan sebagainya. Membangun sebuah jembatan antarbudaya (dalam arti ras, kepercayaan, dan sosiokultural), dengan landasan persamaan dan persaudaraan saat ini sangat penting. Karena manusia tidak berdiri sendiri terutama pada kehidupan yang kontemporer dan kompleks seperti dewasa ini. Hubungan kerja sama dengan sesama manusia untuk menghindari fanatisme dan etnosentrisme yang berlebihan, sebab kedua hal tersebut dapat menyebabkan perpecahan di antara manusia. Salah satu ikhtiar manusia untuk memelihara hubungan dengan sesama adalah melalui dakwah antarbudaya seperti yang dilakukan oleh Nabi Muhammad saw. pada periode Madinah yaitu dakwah dengan memperhatikan dan mengindahkan nilai-nilai budaya termasuk tradisi agama yang dianut masyarakat. Dakwah dalam hal ini berarti memberi bimbingan tidak mencaci maki budaya orang lain, adat-istiadat, dan tradisi agama yang dianut masyarakat. Bila menyimpang dari agama dapat diluruskan sesuai dengan tuntunan agama itu sendiri, dan pelaksanaannya berpedoman pada prinsip-prinsip dakwah antarbudaya sebagaimana yang akan diuraikan pada buku ini.

The Pursuit of Learning in the Islamic World, 610-2003

Islam scares the West. Militant conservatism and the horrific acts of violent fundamentalists evoke outrage, but the reprehensible few reinforce a longstanding Western stereotype of all Muslims as "incorrigibly fanatical, violent and morally and culturally different." Overlooked is the long history of Muslim intellectual and cultural achievement, and its potential to flower once again. With about 1.5 billion adherents, Islam is the world's fastest growing religion. An understanding of its past glories, present state and future potential has never been more critical. This survey of Muslim intellectual and cultural achievements spans 1,400 years. Chapters fall into three sections: fundamentals of Islamic learning; its growth until the present; and its future direction in the face of anti-intellectual fundamentalism. Arranged chronologically within the sections, chapters begin with an historical overview of the time period they encompass, providing context for the subsequent discussion of key intellectual and cultural achievements within that period. Appendices describe decorative and other arts, the requirements for expertise in Islamic thought, Islamic ethical traditions, and list noteworthy personalities and achievements chronologically. Maps and photographs illustrate the text, which also includes a glossary, notes, a bibliography and an index.

Customary Law in Hungary

Courts, Texts, and the Tripartitum

This is the first comprehensive treatment in any language of the history of customary law in Hungary, from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries. Hungary's customary law was described by Stephen Werboczy in 1517 in the extensive law code known as the Tripartitum. As Werboczy explained, Hungarian law derived from the interplay of Romano-canonical law, statute, written instruments, and court judgments. It was also responsive, however, to popular conceptions of the law's content and application, as communicated through the lay membership of the kingdom's courts. Publication of the Tripartitum was intended to make the law more certain by fixing it in writing. Nevertheless, its text was customized by actual use, in the same way as the statute laws of the kingdom were adjusted as a consequence of court practice and of errors in their transmission. The reputation attaching to the Tripartitum and Hungary's insulation from the Roman Law Reception meant that the Tripartitum continued to retain authority until well into the nineteenth century. Attempts to replace it foundered and it was the principal text on which the courts and the schools relied, not only in Habsburg Hungary but also in Transylvania. Courts, nevertheless, continued to modify its provisions in the interests of rendering judgments that they deemed either to be right or in conformity with developing practices. Even after the establishment of a parliamentary form of government in the nineteenth century, a strong customary element attached to Hungarian law, which was amplified by the association of customary law with national traditions. The consequence was that Hungary maintained aspects of a customary law regime until the Communist period.

This is the first comprehensive treatment in any language of the history of customary law in Hungary, from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries.

How Race Is Made in America

Immigration, Citizenship, and the Historical Power of Racial Scripts

How Race Is Made in America examines Mexican Americans—from 1924, when American law drastically reduced immigration into the United States, to 1965, when many quotas were abolished—to understand how broad themes of race and citizenship are constructed. These years shaped the emergence of what Natalia Molina describes as an immigration regime, which defined the racial categories that continue to influence perceptions in the United States about Mexican Americans, race, and ethnicity. Molina demonstrates that despite the multiplicity of influences that help shape our concept of race, common themes prevail. Examining legal, political, social, and cultural sources related to immigration, she advances the theory that our understanding of race is socially constructed in relational ways—that is, in correspondence to other groups. Molina introduces and explains her central theory, racial scripts, which highlights the ways in which the lives of racialized groups are linked across time and space and thereby affect one another. How Race Is Made in America also shows that these racial scripts are easily adopted and adapted to apply to different racial groups.

' This book's importance is sadly substantiated by twenty-first-century headlines about immigration policy, 'papers please' laws, and urban policing. A critical contribution.
