2024-07-15T14:36:25+00:00

Riba etymologically means increasing (al-ziyadah), growing (an-numuw), increasing (al-'uluw). Terminologically, riba is an addition to the principal of a debt that is agreed or required as compensation for the debt repayment period. Riba is absolutely, firmly and clearly haram according to the Qur'an, hadith and the consensus of the ulama. In general, riba is divided into two types, namely riba duyun/qardh (riba in debts) and riba buyu' (riba in buying and selling). Maqashid (purpose) of prohibiting riba: 1) to avoid tyrannical practices against business people; 2) violates the principle of the basic nature of loans/debts as social good transactions which are converted into business-motivated transactions; 3) prevent injustice committed by creditors against debtors by exploiting the interest on the debt; 4) avoid gharar in exchange/buying and selling; and 5) so that money does not become a commodity that is bought and sold. The criteria for riba qardh are prohibited when additional debt is agreed upon in the contract or the gift/addition is paid before the debt is repaid. As for riba buyu', it occurs when the two rules of riba buying and selling are violated, the exchange of similar ribawi goods must meet the same criteria of quality and quantity, and must be in cash. If the exchange is of a different type then the terms must be cash and you can set a margin in it. In practice, riba qardh often occurs in fintech products, insurance, capital markets, conventional banking and derivative businesses. The practice of riba buyu' occurs in foreign exchange transactions, in the exchange of similar money which is widespread online.

The South China Sea is a strategic area rich in natural resources and international trade routes, making it a hot spot in global geopolitical conflicts. This research analyzes the dynamics of sovereignty in the geopolitical conflict between the United States (US) and China in the South China Sea. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis methods to examine how the two countries utilize their sovereignty claims as a tool to strengthen their respective political and economic positions in the region. The research results show that shifts in the understanding of maritime sovereignty have created significant challenges for regional and global stability, especially in the South China Sea. Different interpretations of sovereignty and maritime rights between major powers such as the United States and China, as well as ASEAN countries, have blurred traditional boundaries and increased regional militarization. This research finds that to overcome the emerging tensions, innovative maritime diplomacy approaches are needed, the development of new conflict resolution mechanisms, and the possibility of redefinition of the concept of sovereignty to be more inclusive and adaptive. This approach is expected to create solutions that maintain a balance between national sovereign rights and global stability, as well as ensuring compliance with international legal principles.

The Concept Of Rejecting The Trinity In Islamic Teaching In Surah An-Nisa Verse 171 (Study Of Tafsir Al-Azhar By Buya Hamka)

2024-11-02T02:45:41+00:00

This article examines the concept of rejecting the Trinity in Islam through the analysis of Surah An-Nisa verse 171, focusing on Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka. The method used in this research is categorized as library research. In the verse, Allah rebukes Ahlul Kitab, especially the Christians, who have exaggerated in glorifying the Prophet Isa Alaihis-Salam to consider him as God. Buya Hamka emphasized that Jesus was only a messenger of Allah and not God, so the teaching of Tawhid must be upheld by Muslims. This explanation includes the prohibition not to associate Allah with anything and the importance of respecting prophets without going beyond the limits. This study shows that the rejection of the Trinity is not only theological, but also an attempt to protect the faith of the people from deviation. Thus, Tafsir Al-Azhar provides a comprehensive understanding of the rejection of the Trinity in Islam and emphasizes the importance of maintaining the oneness of God as the core of religious teachings.
