Islam exists to liberate mankind from unequal social conditions. Islam rejects all forms of tyranny, exploitation, domination, and hegemony in various aspects of life: economy, politics, culture, gender and others. Basically Islam never forbids women who want to work (career). This study tries to analyze the position of career women in the perspective of Maqashid sharia. This research was conducted using a conceptual approach, namely the Maqashid Shari'ah concept. The results of this study indicate that there are five objectives of maqashid ash-shari'ah, namely to protect or ensure the continuity of one's faith (hifdz ad-din), their lives (hifdz nafs), their minds (hifdz al-'aql), their descendants ( hifdz an-nasl) and their wealth (hifdz mal). All of these five main objectives of sharia are intended to promote the general welfare of mankind. There are many benefits of women working and pursuing their careers. Someone who works will earn income that makes himself independent (hifdz nafs), useful and can give alms to others as recommended by his religion (hifdz ad-din). A person who does alms and good deeds will get his own honor in the eyes of his community (hifdz al 'ird). Independence and honor have noble values that we can find in various verses of the Qur'an and the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad.
This article attempts to portray the concept of Nahid Afrose Kabir about “biculturalism identity” based on Alison Blunt and Robyn Dowling’s “roots” (homeland) and “routes” (domicile) theory (2006) and Stevens Vertovec’s research (2006) about diaspora. In practice, through her ethnical and religious identity, Nahid Afrose Kabir can interact with the Muslim community, minority ethnics, and other religious communities in Australia. With his Australian identity, she has campaigned to be active citizens. That identity is based on her life experience as immigrants, moving from place to places in the western countries until her recent settlement, Australia. Through her “multicultural identity”, she emphasizes how she, as a Muslim immigrant, should behave and show her identity. Artikel ini menjelaskan tentang konsep Nahid Afrose Kabir tentang “identitas bikulturalisme” berdasarkan teori Alison Blunt dan Robyn Dowling (2006) tentang “roots” (tanah air) dan “routes” (domisili) dan penelitian Stevens Vertovec (2000) tentang diaspora. Di dalam praktiknya, dengan identitas etnis dan agamanya, Nahid Afrose Kabir bisa berhubungan dengan komunitas Muslim dan minoritas etnis dan agama lain di Australia. Dengan identitas Australia, dia telah berkampanye untuk menjadi warga negara aktif. Identitas tersebut didasari oleh pengalaman hidupnya sebagai seorang imigran yang telah pindah mondar-mandir antara Barat dan domisilinya terakhir, Australia. Dengan “identitas bikulturalisme”, dia mempertegas bagaimana dia, sebagai seorang imigran muslim, harus bersikap dan beridentitas.
Abstrak Artikel ini menjelaskan tentang prinsip-prinsip umum syari’ah menurut Muhammad Sa’îd Al-‘Asymâwî, seorang pemikir liberal yang sangat berpengaruh di Mesir. Pemikirannya sangat relevan dengan konteks Indonesia kini dan berfungsi sebagai penyeimbang bagi fenomena munculnya kembali wacana kalangan Islamis / revivalis terkait penerapan syari’ah Islam dalam bentuk penerapan formal produk hukum fiqh klasik yang belum tentu relevan di dalam kehidupan ketatanegaraan Indonesia kini. Hukum-hukum syari’ah mengikuti perkembangan realitas sosial dan selalu melangkah dalam perkembangan tersebut. Sebagai konsekwensinya, secara praktis-metodologis, ia lebih mengedepankan Asbâb al-Nuzûl dan Asbâb al-Wurûd daripada keumuman teks (al-‘Ibrah Bikhushûsh al-Sabâb lâ Bi‘umûm al-Lafzh) di dalam istinbâth hukum, karena merupakan prasyarat utama untuk dapat memahami dengan tepat dan benar terhadap kandungan ayat dan hadits Nabi saw. Hal ini berbeda dengan kebanyakan ulama yang lebih mengedepankan keumuman teks daripada Asbâb al-Nuzûl dan Asbâb al-Wurûd (al-‘Ibrah Bi‘umûm al-Lafzh lâ Bikhushûsh al-Sabâb). Oleh karena itu, di dalam kasus hijâb, ia menyimpulkan bahwa hijâb merupakan ketetapan hukum yang tidak pasti (qath’î), temporal, dan bahkan hanya merupakan simbol politik, bukan kewajiban agama. Menurutnya, yang wajib secara permanen adalah kesopanan dan tidak menampakkan perhiasan karena hijâb yang sesungguhnya tidak terkait dengan mode pakaian tertentu tetapi terkait dengan pengendalian diri dari syahwat dan dosa. Abstract This article examines the general principle of shari’a espoused by Muhammad Said al-Ashmawi, an Egyptian Muslim progressive thinker. His ideas of shari’a principles are relevant to be applied in the context of Islamic law and to counter the Islamist discourse on the application of Islamic law in Indonesia. Ashmawi proposes that Islamic law is understood as the dynamic system that can develop amidst of social change and realities. This brings about changing practical and methodological approach to sharia. Ashmawi takes into account the occasion of revelation (asbab al-nuzul) and the context of the emergence of hadith (asbab al-wurud) seriously as important requirements to understand the Qur’an and hadith. This approach differs greatly from those of the majority Muslim jurists who take the general meaning acquired from the texts for granted. In the case of hijab, for example, Ashmawi, as the consequence of this approach, argues that hijab is not obligatory since this is a symbol of politics and not of religion. To him, what is required in Islamic dress is decency and modesty. Hijab is not associated with a sort of dress but self-control over lust and deviation.
