“…Tadabur alam is a means of learning to better know Allah SWT who created the heavens and earth and their contents (Jailani, 2023;Parhan et al, 2021). Tadabur alam will cleanse ourselves and our souls of negative energies that may have resided in our hearts and minds and as gratitude for the vast grace of Allah (Elmasry, 2006;Ibrahim, 2022). This activity is carried out at the end of the school year, once a year after the distribution of report cards in order to fill in positive holiday activities.…”

The purpose of this study is to explore the human resource development system through education and da'wah training of the Nurul Hidayah taklim assembly in Cirebon, Indonesia. This research uses qualitative methods. The results showed that the Nurul Hidayah assembly applied various methods such as lectures, discussions, questions and answers, practices, and field visits, all of which were designed according to the conditions and needs of the congregation. Activities in this meeting are held every week, not only focusing on routine recitation but also prioritizing the self-development of the congregation, including religious, social, and economic aspects. Regular recitation involves the process of takwin, tanzim, and taudi', which includes dhikr, public lectures, and religious lessons to form moderate and independent religious congregations. In addition, there is corpse management training that provides knowledge and skills in managing corpses in accordance with Islamic law, as well as Hajj and Umrah management training that increases pilgrims' understanding of Hajj and Umrah. The tadabbur alam program is also implemented as a learning tool to get to know God's creation more closely and cleanse the soul. The role of Islamic extension workers is very important in the implementation of all these programs, demonstrating the commitment of the taklim assembly in developing the religious and social capabilities of the congregation with a flexible and adaptive approach.

“…'To say that God is personal is to acknowledge the following things: God has knowledge and awareness; God performs actions; God is free in the actions he performs; and God can enter into relationships with persons other than himself' (see Peterson et al 2009, p. 77). For a fuller discussion of God within Muslim tradition, see Doko and Turner (2023); see also Celene Ibrahim (2022), Ali (2016), andAijaz (2015). Zarepour also approves of Roger Pouivet, who writes, 'there is nothing absurd in saying that God is personal but not a person.…”

The Problem of Evil, God’s Personhood, and the Reflective Muslim

Is it correct to think of God as a perfectly good personal agent? Not so, argue John Bishop and Ken Perszyk. Bishop and Perszyk, in their most recent work, God, Purpose, and Reality: A Euteleological Understanding of Theism (2023), outline a series of challenges that bring into question this concept of God—i.e., as a perfectly good personal agent, who is unique, unsurpassably great, all-powerful, and all-knowing. I aim to critically evaluate one of these challenges, namely the Normatively Relativised Logical Argument from Evil (NRLAFE). The NRLAFE has God’s perfect goodness as its target. Bishop and Perszyk argue that people who are committed to certain values about what constitutes right relationship amongst persons, might reasonably judge God as lacking perfect goodness. They also contend that the relevant values will likely be endorsed by theists. My aim in this paper is twofold: first, I aim to assess the Bishop-Perszyk argument from evil, in light of the tradition of Islamic Theism. The tradition of Islamic Theism is as broad as it is deep, and within the tradition there are a variety of ways in which God has been conceptualised. This includes debates as to whether we can view God as a personal agent. Second, I contend that we have available to us, from within and beyond the tradition of Islamic Theism, a set of resources that: (a) permit us to understand God as being a personal agent; and (b) allow us to resist the NRLAFE while endorsing the value commitments that Bishop and Perszyk have in mind. The perspective I bring to this paper is that of a reflective Muslim—i.e., a person of the Islamic faith who acknowledges that people of other religious and non-religious persuasions are as educated and concerned with seeking truth and avoiding error as they themselves are.

Monotheism in Christian Liturgy

In line with a profound theological understanding of liturgy as the Church at prayer (ecclesia orans), the focus of this Element is the variegated ways in which Christians address, turn to, and worship God in their central rituals and celebrations. Surveying a representative sample of official liturgical sources from different Christian Churches, the question is asked how 'pure' the monotheism expressed in them is. For one could argue that there is some ambiguity involved, especially with respect to (i) the peculiar position of Christ, the Son of God, and God the Father in liturgical prayers, and (ii) regarding the veneration of the saints. The essential key to unlock this complex and multi-layered reality is a meticulous study of the essential doxological nature of Christian liturgy, both from a phenomenological point of view and on the basis of fine textual analyses.
