Da'wah of the Prophet Muhammad in Medina achieved success with a relatively short time. The missionary strategy carried out by the Prophet by establishing a mosque as a center of activity and worship, uniting the tribes of Aus and Kharaj, Muslims with non-Muslims, brothering the Muhajirites and Ansar and the charter of Medina which became important documents in the establishment of the State of Medina. The social changes that occur in the Medina community as an indicator of the success of prophetic preaching from a sociological review that the prophet has succeeded as an Agent of Change or Da'I changed the social order and values and the system of government and economy in Madina.

This article examines the ways in which defining the character of early Islam has been instrumental to contemporary political debates at distinct moments in time. It looks in particular at Restoration-era England and the last decades of the Ottoman Caliphate. In the latter period, European and Muslim scholars alike reappraised Islamic history in the context of the often polemical discourse surrounding pan-Islamism and the future of Islam. Indian Muslim writers especially moved into new and inventive historical territory. They took up the vocabulary of modern politics in their histories and in doing so pluralized the heritage of certain ideas and concepts, including democracy, constitutionalism, republicanism, and socialism. The result was the articulation of a usable, progressive Islamic past.

ABSTRAK Bagi Tjokroaminoto, Islam dan sosialisme bukanlah dua kutub yang berseberangan dan menjadi pertentangan. Justru sebaliknya, keduanya bisa saling melengkapi dan menghasilkan perpaduan yang sangat apik. Tjokroaminoto adalah salah satu tokoh muslim pertama di Indonesia yang menggagas perpaduan Islam dan sosialisme untuk pertama kalinya. For Tjokroaminoto, Islam and socialism are not two opposite poles and are in conflict. On the contrary, they can complement each other and produce a very neat mixture.

This body of research critically examines and challenges popular rhetoric regarding contemporary understandings of 'radicalisation' in reference to Australian Muslim communities. Through the prism of the 'War on terror' and its adverse and disproportionate affects on Australian Muslims, Terms of engagement: examining the rhetoric of radicalisation coalesces research on Acculturative Stress and Self-determination theory, anecdotal experience, documented acts of politically-motivated violence, and the reporting of those acts of politically-motivated violence to reassess popular narratives regarding national security. The exhibition is comprised of eleven images that reflect the projection of criminality on marginalised and vilified people in a way that invites the audience to reflect on their own potential personal biases.

In 2001 Germany positioned itself for the first time as a country of immigration – that's almost 50 years after the first German-Turkish "guest worker" contracts were signed. This act of recognition changed the political and legal landscape as demands for political, social and cultural rights suddenly became legitimate. Society responded both in support and rejection for these new demands, creating a cleaveage between pro- and anti-diversity positionings. This ambivalence becomes particularly apparent when discussing the situation of Muslims in Germany: Grounded with empirical data this paper shows how the implementation of minority rights is cognitively accepted, while rejected and disapproved of in connection with Muslims in Germany.

This article describes about the neccesity of renewal Islamic theology within context of pluralism and multiculturalism. One of contemporary Muslim schoolars, Fethullah Gulen, could be considered among the most influential Muslim theologians of our time. His work focus on redefining the nature of Islamic discourse in the contemporary world by doing interreligious and intercultural dialogue. Nowdays, we need to shift our paradigm from classical kalam which dogmatic, abstract, and exclusive to more practical theology based on life and contemporary needs, which is called "social theology". Gulen's theological discourse distinguished for his support of democracy, humanisme, openness to globalization, progressiveness in integrating tradition with modernity, and to make sense of pluralistic-piety.

Abstract
Based on ethnographic fieldwork in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, this article tracks the imbrication of ordinary and mystical desire in the life of a Muslim man who disavows pietistic forms of ethical striving. It examines the way tropes of desire from Sufi poetry affect everyday life and desire in ordinary relationships with friends and kin. Revising the notion of the "infinity of desire," which explains the traction of the paradigmatically mystical figures of lover and beloved in pious frameworks, the article argues that the finitude of desire in relation to intimate others in everyday life provides one context in which these figures, and Sufi poetry more generally, may become attractive to contemporary Muslims.

Moreover, in the 20th centuries becomes important momentum for Islamic thought. They are; Islam and rational, Islamic culture, Transformative Islam have been formulated for Islamic thinker.

The Walking Qur'an by Rudolph T. Ware III ambitiously takes on African and Islamic studies in a call to make the study of Islam in Africa more central to the two fields that have left it lying in a double margin. By arguing that a series of root metaphors from the tradition suggest an implicit theory of embodied knowledge that constitute an authentic Islam, however, Ware particularizes West African and Muslim forms of religiosity and dehistoricizes present struggles and points of social contention. The resulting narrative appears to legitimate claims made by the religious establishment within Senegal today while making claims to legitimate authority possible among the African American Muslim community.

This article examines the relationship between religion and sociopolitical development in the context of the re-emergence of popular social movements in Muslim societies in the Middle East and North Africa. It makes a case that despite the decline of Islamism as a mode of social mobilization, religion maintains an active presence within the public sphere. Focusing on the religious-political discourses of Abdolkarim Soroush and neo-Shariatis, as the representatives of two distinct post-Islamist currents in post-revolutionary Iran, the article identifies some of the capacities and limitations of their particular conceptions of democratic public religiosity for contributing to the ongoing processes of change in Iran and other contemporary Muslim societies.

The simmering tension between Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims in Western Myanmar escalated into a violent conflict in 2012, first in June and again in October. The violence led to the loss of over a hundred lives, destruction of thousands of homes, and the displacement of tens of thousands of people. The Myanmar government intervened to end the bloodshed but tension continues to linger. This article argues that, instead of alienating the Rohingyas politically, consociational democracy should be pursued to address the problem. The support and cooperation of both Buddhists and Muslims, and perhaps assistance from a neutral organization like the United Nations, would help achieve a political solution.
