ISLAMIC LITERARY AESTHETICS AND RESEARCH IN LITERATURE
(Muslim University of Morogoro, Tanzania, 2022) NKONGE,ALLY CHEUNE
This research focused on the status of literary studies and literature as an art in Islam as a form of integration of knowledge. It examines the basis of making judgment about literary texts as to which one may be considered good or bad according to Islamic Literary Aesthetics. It highlights and elaborates on the different sources of Islamic literary Aesthetics and discusses the procedures of using Islamic Literary Aesthetics in research in literature. The study demonstrates how Islamic literary aesthetics can be applied focusing on two specific texts written by Muslim authors. This study was mainly by library research spiced by interviews with specific persons where it was found necessary.The general objective of the study was that readers/learners should be able to integrate Islamic literary aesthetics with the general knowledge of research in literature. They should be able to explain the basis of making literary criticism from the Islamic point of view and be able to produce literary texts that are compliant with Islamic principles. Other objectives include the following: To provide a critical overview of the contemporary Islamic thought and practices relevant to literature. To explain the underlying world view and doctrine that serves as the foundation of literature in Islam.
To provide a source of reference to the students, academicians and practitioners in the field of Literature and Islam.
The justification for this study was that there have been literary texts in different genres which have often raised diverse reactions from Muslim communities making others wonder why it is so when the same texts are appreciated by people of other communities. It is hoped that this study will make it clear to the readers/learners how literary judgment is made according to Islamic teachings and provide guidance to potential artists on how to compose literary texts that integrate Islamic knowledge with the already existing one. This book is of great significance in the area of integration of knowledge as it combines knowledge from the disciplines of literature generally and that of Islamic studies.
The book has nine chapters each one providing enough content for a three hours lecture at university level except chapters eight and nine which have content for two lectures each, hence the whole book is designed to provide enough content for a whole semester.
Human Rights in the Control of Digital Public Space Freedom:
(Faculty of Sharia Universitas Islam Negeri K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan, 2025-06-01) Manswab, Mahsen Abdulrahman; Adang, Sonjaya; Fauzan, Ali Rasyid; Chaerul,Shaleh
Internet control has a close relationship with human rights because the digital space is becoming increasingly integral to social, political, and economic life. The purpose of this study is to discuss Internet control policies that support or hinder human rights and identify the right approach to solving problems related to existing problems. The research method adopts a normative juridical approach with a statute and conceptual approach. This study found that internet and social media regulations, namely Electronic Information and Transactions Law, have rubber articles that can be misused to limit freedom of expression, thus having implications for socio-political conditions, namely reducing people’s space to express their opinions, threatening democracy and political participation, including the implementation of Islamic Law in local governments based on Sharia. The researcher argues that a collaborative approach based on Islamic law, which includes truth and honesty (Sidiq), justice and equality (Adil), politeness and respect (Hilm), and preventing damage and conflict (Munkar), can be the most appropriate solution to solve existing problems in Indonesia. This study contributes to the formation and implementation of policies to address potential conflicts between freedom of expression and national security in Indonesia and various countries that have the same problems.

The Impact of Belief in the Hereafter on Muslim Moral and Ethical Conduct
(Jurnal Usuluddin, 2025) Manswab, Mahsen Abdulrahman
Belief in the afterlife constitutes a fundamental pillar of Islamic faith, profoundly influencing both the devotional practices and moral conduct of Muslims. This study examines how this belief shapes Muslim behavior guiding acts of worship and fostering virtues such as honesty, justice, and compassion. Despite Islam’s emphatic teachings on the hereafter, many Muslims exhibit behaviors incongruent with this belief, such as neglect of worship, ethical lapses, and excessive worldly preoccupations. Consequently, the study’s central research question emerges: What are the most significant manifestations of afterlife belief in a Muslim’s daily life? The study employs a descriptive-analytical approach, examining Quranic texts and Hadith to elucidate concepts related to the afterlife. It also analyzes contemporary Muslim behavior through this lens. The deductive method derives behavioral and moral principles from religious texts, while the inductive method evaluates real-world examples of conduct influenced (or uninfluenced) by this belief. The findings affirm that genuine belief in the afterlife serves as a powerful motivator for religious and ethical adherence. When internalized, it fosters a cohesive Muslim society striving for holistic success—balancing temporal well-being with eternal salvation.
Competencies of lower-level community health centre leaders in annual health work planning and their influence on district performance in Busoga sub-region:
(PLoS One, 2020-07-30) Muluya,Kharim Mwebaza; Muwanguzi,Gangu David; Aremu,Abdulmujeeb Babatunde; Naziru,Rashid; Wananda,Irene; Kayemba,Jonah Fred; Ogara,Collin; Waib,Musa; Mugisha,John Francis; Waiswa,Peter
Introduction
Lower-level community health centres play a crucial role in the delivery of primary healthcare services, and the competencies of their leaders can significantly influence district performance. Annual health work planning in local governments faces imple- mentation obstacles every year. This mostly affects lower-level community health centres in Busoga region. It is evidenced by late submission of annual health work plans to authorized offices and also these work plans are poorly made by lower-level community health centres in Busoga region. This prompted a retrospective study to understand the competencies of leaders in the lower-level community health centres in annual health work plan development.
