Bridging Worlds: How Islamic Civilization Shaped the Rise of Western Europe
type: item
description: This article attempts to analyze the influence of Islamic civilization on the rise and progress of European-Christian (Western) civilization in the Middle Ages. The focus of this research is to trace the process of transferring knowledge (philosophy, science, technology, humanities, literature, medicine) from the Islamic world to European-Christian society through intellectual interaction in Andalusia (Spain), translation of scientific works of Islamic intellectuals, and through trade and the Crusades. This research employs a qualitative method with a literature study approach, where data are obtained from various academic literature sources and other scientific works. The results of the study show that Islamic civilization in Andalusia played a very decisive role in triggering intellectual development and European-Christian civilization which became the foundation for the Renaissance (Revival) in the West. Through a number of libraries and educational institutions in Andalusia and other Islamic centers, the process of translating books by Islamic scientists in Arabic into Latin took place by European-Christian students who brought them and spread them in their respective countries, thus giving birth to the spirit of the Renaissance in mainland Europe. This study concludes that Islamic civilization not only played a role as the guardian of the classical knowledge heritage of Greece, Rome, Persia, India, but also as a red carpet for European civilization, from the Dark Ages to the Renaissance (Revival).

Transformative Leadership from Marginalized Origins: A Model for Community Empowerment and Socio-Economic Change
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the transformative leadership model implemented by a village head with a background as a former thug and its implications for the community empowerment process in Cikuya Village, Cicalengka District, Bandung Regency, Indonesia. Village leaders with non-conventional backgrounds are often perceived negatively and considered problematic in the context of village governance. However, in practice, such figures have the potential to bring about significant social change, particularly in village development and strengthening community participation. This study uses a qualitative approach with juridical-sociological methods to deeply understand the socio-political dynamics, leadership patterns, and the legitimacy of the village head's power from the perspective of constitutional law and Islamic values. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, involving the village head, village government officials, community leaders, and residents of Cikuya Village as key informants. Data analysis was carried out using the siyasah dusturiyah theoretical framework as proposed by Ibn Taymiyyah, which emphasized that the legitimacy of leadership is not determined by a person's social background, but rather by the leader's capacity to carry out mandates, uphold justice, and create benefits for the wider community. Through this approach, research is expected to be able to reveal the process of social transformation from a thug figure to a formal leader who is recognized legally and socially. Apart from that, this research is also expected to show how leadership can form effective, responsive, and inclusive patterns, as well as to provide theoretical contributions to the study of village leadership and practical contributions to strengthening village governance.
