  • Islam in Japan in a Contemporary Paradigm

    Research Article
    Ethnic Culture Volume 7 No 1
    Author:
    Aleksandra-Megumi Ogi
    Work direction:
    Ethnography, Ethnology and Anthropology
    Abstract:
    The article examines the development of Islam in Japan from Noda Masataro – the first Japanese to convert to Islam in 1891 in the Ottoman Empire, to the present day. Particular attention is paid to the coverage of Japan’s Islamic policy in 1930–1945, and how Islam is understood by the Japanese through the prism of Shintoism and Buddhism. There is currently a growing number of Japanese Muslims. It is noteworthy that most of them are women married to Muslims, but the Japanese themselves, mostly young intellectuals, are beginning to embrace Islam. There are also second-generation Muslims in Japan, those who have one or both parents who are Muslim. One of the parents may be a foreigner. In this case, such people face problems of identity and the ability to integrate into traditional Japanese society. One of the main problems of Japanese Muslims is the problem of burial according to the Muslim tradition, since in Japan, cremation is mostly chosen in such cases. In general, Japanese citizens are religiously tolerant and measures have been taken by the authorities to maintain such sentiments and this despite the growing Islamophobic sentiments in Europe and America, which may sow fear among the Japanese against Muslims.

  • Kontseptsiia schast'ia Al'-Farabi

    Book Chapter
    Pedagogy and Psychology of Modern Education
    Author:
    Aleksandr I. Kugai
    Work direction:
    Глава 12
    Abstract:
    The chapter addresses the concept of happiness of Abu Nasr Muhammad al-Farabi, the founder of Islamic philosophy, who adopted certain aspects of Greek philosophy and reconsidered the other ones so that they could be applied to the Islamic world. Much has been written about the work of al-Farabi. Most scholars have focused their attention on the virtuous city of al-Farabi and its philosophy of Plato and Aristotle. However, the concept of happiness – the reason and purpose of human existence – has not been given enough attention. The purpose of this chapter is to fill this gap – to dust off al-Farabi's concept of happiness, taking into account the influence of Islam and Greek philosophy on its formation.

    Abstract:
    The article describes the process of restructuring the Egyptian political field in the context of confrontation between representatives of the military elite and religious political movements in Egypt on the eve and after the events of the Arab Spring. The data of sociological surveys conducted by the Arab Barometer Center on the attitude of citizens towards Islamist parties and religious leaders in the MENA are analyzed. As a result of a comparative analysis of data for 2012–2014 with data obtained in 2018–2019, conclusions were drawn about a decrease in the level of trust of the population of the region in Islamists and a decrease in the level of religiosity in general. As a result of the historical analysis, the reasons that influenced this process are named, including the unsuccessful reforms of the Islamists and the rise of the extremist movement.

  • Features of Family Interaction in Inter-Confessional Families

    Proceeding
    Socio-Cultural and Psychological Problems of the Modern Family: Current Issues of Assistance and Support
    Authors:
    Inna I. Karas, Anna A. Lukina
    Work direction:
    Features of interaction in inter-ethnic marriage and inter-generational family
    Abstract:
    The article is devoted to studying the features of interaction in young families where the spouses profess Islam and Orthodoxy. Muslim and Orthodox families also participated in the comparative study. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used to assess differences in the indicators of these groups. The family sociogram (variants of a real family and an ideal family), the family environment scale, and the method «Analysis of family relationships» (a questionnaire for parents) by E.G. Eidemiller and V.V. Justickis, unstructured interview with the respondents were used as the research methods. It is established that family interaction in inter-confessional families is characterized by the preservation of the Patriarchal family hierarchy, relationships are maintained among members of the extended family, and an attitude towards preserving humanistic values is formed between the spouses. The spouses care for each other to a high level, and the partners have a strong sense of belonging to the family. Some violations in the styles of family education were revealed, namely, the presence of dominant hyperprotection, condoning hyperprotection, and moral responsibility. At the same time, condoning hyperprotection is more pronounced and more common in male fathers from interfaith families.

  • Jihad and gazavat: the concept and relation

    Research Article
    Development of education No 1 (1)
    Authors:
    Fyodor P. Khodeev, Albert K. Isaev
    Work direction:
    Discussion
    Abstract:
    In the works of Russian writers, touching upon the important and now the theme of the Caucasian war, the word “Gazavat” is used to denote the resistance of Muslims, but the word “Jihad” is not used. The article deals with the emergence and correlation of the concepts of “Jihad” and “Gazavat” on the extensive material. And it is also proved, using the texts of the Koran and hadith, that under Jihad the Prophet understood not terrorist acts, not brutal execution of people, but sublime and noble deeds. The authors, arguing with the well-known concept of J. Friedman, predict, but on other grounds, the turmoil in Asia.
