A rigorous analysis of 12 structural predictions embedded in Fiqh al-Tahawwulat — the Jurisprudence of Transitions — examining how moral, economic, and geopolitical crises cascade toward civilizational change.
Fiqh al-Tahawwulat — the "Jurisprudence of Transitions" — describes civilizational change as a 12-stage cascade. Each condition reinforces the next.
Moral legitimacy → elite detachment → knowledge fragmentation → economic injustice → cultural identity crisis → internal conflict → global order breakdown.
I've written an expanded analysis. It reads like a diagnosis of now.

Well, maybe later, you know that I really like studying religions and beliefs. Whatever religion I study, I compare one with another, seeking the truth from each. Islam, as my base belief, I study deeply. Indeed, Allah is the one who turns hearts upside down, you know what I mean.

Even if I couldn't get into a state university but a private one, I would only choose Muhammadiyah. I would probably choose Muhammadiyah University of Jakarta or Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta. You know that I am part of Muhammadiyah and I'm proud of it.

But besides that, if I really wanted to study Islam in a state Islamic university/institute/college, I would definitely choose a better place to study. I would probably choose UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta or UIN Alauddin (my late grandfather graduated here)

For those who don't know, state Islamic institute (abbreviated as IAIN) is one of three forms of Islamic higher education in Indonesia. IAIN is in the middle, above it is state Islamic university (abbreviated as UIN) and below it is state Islamic college (abbreviated as STAIN)
