Abstract

Background: The increasing population of the elderly can cause health problems in the elderly, including a decrease in cognitive function that is clearly visible in memory and intelligence. This can be prevented by doing activities that maximize brain power through increasing spiritual activities, such as reading the Qur'an.Objective: To determine the effect of reading the Qur'an on cognitive function in the elderly. The study population was 60 years of age or older, with an indicator of reading the Qur'an regularly every day. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).Method: The type of literature study used is the literature review by assessing, identifying, and interpreting all findings on a research topic. Conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar restricted from 2010-2020. The keywords used in the article search were elderly, reading the Qur'an, and cognitive function. Results: Reading the Qur'an has a significant impact on the cognitive function of the elderly.Results: This study used seven journals, where five journals were obtained from Google Scholar and two journals from PubMed. Conclusion: From several studies collected, it can be concluded that the longer the duration (>15 minutes) and the more regularly the elderly read the Qur'an, the better their cognitive function.

Abstract

Kuntowijoyo is widely-known in Indonesia as the propagator of pengilmuan Islam discourse, which he declared as an alternative discourse from the Islamization of knowledge that he sees as trivial and reactive. In this article, we would like to assess Kuntowijoyo’s comprehension of Islamization of knowledge to analyze the relevance of pengilmuan Islam as his alternative proposal to it, from his own words with references to primary and secondary references, and contrast it with the actual proposal of Islamization of knowledge from its original thinkers. The result is that while Kuntowijoyo openly declares his opposition to the term, he still acknowledges the need for the Islamization of knowledge in certain key parts of his writings while still being polemical. This article unveils his true view on the Islamization of knowledge and the problem lies with his understanding of the discourse, which is significant to the consequences in Islamic education that his discourse will lead to a false sense of Islamic development in knowledge
