Pengantar Sosiologi

Pengertian Sosiologi
Sosiologi merupakan ilmu pengetahuan yang mempelajari tentang pergaulan hidup antara seseorang dengan seseorang, perseorangan dengan golongan atau golongan dengan golongan. Dengan demikian terdapat dua unsur pokok dalam sosiologi, yaitu manusia dan hubungan sosial (masyarakat). Terdapat berbagai pendapat tentang kedudukan individu dan masyarakat ini. Di satu pihak ada yang berpendapat bahwa individu lebih dominan daripada masyarakat, tetapi di pihak lain berpendapat bahwa masyarakat lebih dominan daripada individu. Sementara itu terdapat pendapat yang mengambil posisi tengah yang mengatakan bahwa antara individu dan masyarakat terjadi proses saling mempengaruhi. Sejumlah kritik diajukan kepada sosiologi, yaitu 1) sosiologi adalah ilmu yang sulit, 2) sosiologi hanya merupakan kumpulan dari berbagai kajian ilmu sosial lainnya, dan 3) tidak ada lapangan yang khusus bagi sosiologi karena objeknya telah banyak digarap oleh ilmu-ilmu sosial lainnya.
Sosiologi merupakan cabang ilmu sosial yang dahulunya berinduk pada ilmu filsafat. Dengan demikian pokok-pokok pikiran sosiologi tidak bisa terlepas dari pemikiran para ahli filsafat yang mengkaji tentang masyarakat. Sosiologi mengalami perkembangan yang pesat pada abad ke-20, di mana pada masa ini mulai banyak bermunculan berbagai cabang sosiologi, seperti sosiologi industri, sosiologi perkotaan, sosiologi pedesaan, dan lain-lain. Pemikiran para ahli yang mengkonsentrasikan diri pada masalah kajian sosiologi ini dibedakan atas tokoh-tokoh sosiologi klasik dan tokoh-tokoh sosiologi modern.
Bidang Kajian Sosiologi
Sosiologi sebagai ilmu sosial yang mempunyai fokus kajian mengenai tingkah laku manusia mempunyai bidang kajian yang sangat luas, antara lain bidang kajian Sosiologi Industri, Sosiologi Hukum, Sosiologi Pendidikan, Sosiologi Perkotaan, Sosiologi Pedesaan, Sosiologi Kesehatan, dan lain-lain.
Sosiologi Industri mengkaji masalah fenomena industri dengan menitikberatkan kajiannya pada faktor manusia, dan mengaitkannya dengan faktor mesin serta mekanisme kerja pabrik yang berorientasi pada efisiensi dan efektivitas. Sedangkan Sosiologi Hukum merupakan cabang sosiologi yang mengkaji fenomena-fenomena hukum yang ada di masyarakat. Sementara itu Sosiologi Pendidikan mengkaji proses-proses sosiologis yang berlangsung dalam lembaga pendidikan dengan tekanan dan wilayah tekanannya pada lembaga pendidikan. Di lain pihak Sosiologi Perilaku Menyimpang mengkaji perilaku dan kondisi yang dianggap tidak sesuai dengan norma-norma yang sudah disepakati dalam masyarakat.
Dalam melakukan kajiannya, terutama pada masyarakat modern, sosiologi perlu bekerja sama dengan ilmu-ilmu sosial lainnya membentuk kajian multidisipliner. Antropologi bisa membantu sosiologi dalam hal metodologi mengingat antropologi mempunyai pengalaman yang sangat panjang dalam melakukan penelitian yang bersifat kualitatif. Psikologi bisa memberi masukan bagi sosiologi dalam hal informasinya mengenai kecenderungan-kecenderungan yang sifatnya individual. Sementara itu sosiologi juga harus meminta bantuan ahli sejarah untuk memberi informasi tentang proses historis yang ada dalam fenomena perubahan sosial

Pengertian Interaksi Sosial
Interaksi sosial dapat diartikan sebagai hubungan-hubungan sosial yang dinamis. Hubungan sosial yang dimaksud dapat berupa hubungan antara individu yang satu dengan individu lainnya, antara kelompok yang satu dengan kelompok lainnya, maupun antara kelompok dengan individu. Dalam interaksi juga terdapat simbol, di mana simbol diartikan sebagai sesuatu yang nilai atau maknanya diberikan kepadanya oleh mereka yang menggunakannya
Proses Interaksi sosial menurut Herbert Blumer adalah pada saat manusia bertindak terhadap sesuatu atas dasar makna yang dimiliki sesuatu tersebut bagi manusia. Kemudian makna yang dimiliki sesuatu itu berasal dari interaksi antara seseorang dengan sesamanya. Dan terakhir adalah Makna tidak bersifat tetap namun dapat dirubah, perubahan terhadap makna dapat terjadi melalui proses penafsiran yang dilakukan orang ketika menjumpai sesuatu. Proses tersebut disebut juga dengan interpretative process
Interaksi sosial dapat terjadi bila antara dua individu atau kelompok terdapat kontak sosial dan komunikasi. Kontak sosial merupakan tahap pertama dari terjadinya hubungan sosial

common costume features
common costume features
A superhero's costume helps make him or her recognizable to the general public. Costumes are often colorful to enhance the character's visual appeal and frequently incorporate the superhero's name and theme. For example, Daredevil resembles a red devil, Captain America's costume echoes the American flag, Batman resembles a large bat, and Spider-Man's costume features a spider web pattern. The convention of superheroes wearing masks (frequently without visible pupils) and skintight unitards originated with Lee Falk's comic strip hero The Phantom. Several superheroes such as the Phantom, Superman, Batman and Robin wear breeches over this unitard. This is often satirized as the idea that superheroes wear their underpants on the outside.[citation needed]
Many features of superhero costumes recur frequently, including the following:
Superheroes who maintain a secret identity often wear a mask, ranging from the domino masks of Green Lantern and Ms. Marvel to the full-face masks of Spider-Man and Black Panther. Most common are masks covering the upper face, leaving the mouth and jaw exposed. This allows for both a believable disguise and recognizable facial expressions. A notable exception is Superman, who wears nothing on his face while fighting crime, but uses large glasses in his civilian life as Clark Kent. As well, because Superman possesses super speed, he is able to move his face back and forth quickly enough when he is Superman to blur any distinguishable features. Some characters wear helmets, such as Doctor Fate or Magneto.
A symbol, such as a stylized letter or visual icon, usually on the chest. Examples include the uppercase "S" of Superman, the bat emblem of Batman, and the spider emblem of Spider-Man. Often, they also wear a common symbol referring to their group or league, such as the "4" on the Fantastic Four's suits, or the "X" on the X-Men's costumes.
Form-fitting clothing, often referred to as tights or Spandex, although the exact material is usually unidentified. Such material displays a character’s athletic build and heroic sex appeal and allows a simple design for illustrators to reproduce.
While a vast majority of superheroes do not wear capes, the garment is still closely associated with them, likely because two of the most widely-recognized superheroes, Batman and Superman, wear capes. In fact, police officers in Batman’s home of Gotham City have used the word "cape" as a shorthand for all superheroes and costumed crimefighters. The comic-book miniseries Watchmen and the animated movie The Incredibles humorously commented on the potentially lethal impracticality of capes. In Marvel Comics, the term "cape-killer" has been used to describe Superhuman Restraint Unit, even though few notable Marvel heroes wear capes.

While most superhero costumes merely hide the hero’s identity and present a recognizable image, parts of the costume (or the costume itself) have functional uses. Batman's utility belt and Spawn’s "necroplasmic armor" have both been of great assistance to the heroes. Iron Man's armor, in particular, protects him and provides technological advantages.
When thematically appropriate, some superheroes dress like people from various professions or subcultures. Zatanna, who possesses wizard-like powers, dresses like a stage magician, and Ghost Rider, who rides a superpowered motorcycle, dresses in the leather garb of a biker.
Several heroes of the 1990s, including Cable and many Image Comics characters, rejected the traditional superhero outfit for costumes that appeared more practical and militaristic. Shoulder pads, kevlar-like vests, metal-plated armor, knee and elbow pads, heavy-duty belts, and ammunition pouches were common features. Other characters, such as The Punisher or The Question, opt for a "civilian" costume (mostly a trench coat).

The Major Signs
The Major Signs

The major signs are those that will occur closer to the Day of Judgment, and they are said to be very extraordinary.These are the seven major signs of this day.
1)The Appearance of Al-Maseeh-ud-Dajjal, the False Messiah. Ad-Dajjal is said to be a beast who will come claiming to be God holding heaven and hell. His sole purpose is to deceive people and lead them away from the remembrance of Allah, and the unbelievers will follow him. He will have only one good eye and he will be blind in the other eye. On his forehead there will be a sign saying "Kafir," or disbeliever. He will perform some miracles which will serve to deceive some people.
The prophet Muhammed warned,
Whoever hears about the coming of Ad-Dajjal should stay away from him because by Allah, a man could come to him thinking of himself a strong believer but then he will follow Ad-Dajjal because of the doubts he will spread[7]
There are many deceiving miracles Ad-Dajjal will perform to mislead the people on earth. He will appear between the cities of Iraq and Syria and will create disaster left and right. He will command the sky to rain and it will rain. He will command the earth, and it will produce crops. After grazing on these crops, their animals will return with their udders full of milk and their flanks stretched. When he will call people to come to a false region with him and they reject his call, he will leave them and they will suffer famine and will possess no form of wealth. Then lastly he will call a young man brimming with youth; he will strike him with a sword and cut him in two, then place the two pieces at a distance between an archer and his target. Then he will call to him, and the young man will come to him running and laughing.
At that point, Allah will send Isa, Jesus. He will search for the Ad-Dajjal and will find him at the Gate of Ludd (a city in israel). They will engage in fierce battle and Isa will win. Then the Ad-Dajjal will be no more.
2)The Appearance of Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj: Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj are two hidden tribes of people.These tribes were disbelieving descendants of prophet Adam. They will come in enormous numbers and will outnumber all the believers of the world. They will break through a barrier that Allah created to hold them back and ravage the earth. They will drink all the water, destroy plants and animals and kill people. This will occur roughly around the time of the second coming of Prophet Isa, Jesus. Finally, Allah will send a type of worm or insect that will wipe them out.
3)The appearance of the Dabbah(the strange beast): The Dabbah is a strange beast who will have the Rod of Moses and the seal of Solomon. He will call people back to Islam. Some will heed to the call while others will reject it. The believers will then have a sign that says: "Believer" while the disbelievers will have a "Disbeliever" sign. The exact description of the animal is unknown.
4)Three Huge Earthquakes: Three major earthquakes will occur on the day of judgment and they will damage a great deal of the earth. One earthquake will occur in the east, another in the west, and the third will be in the Arabian Peninsula.
5)The Smoke: Smoke will appear all over the earth that will cause believers to catch something similar to the common cold, whereas disbelivers will be hit harder by it. Finally, a cool wind will cause all the believers to die. This all the unbelievers left on earth to experience the last hour of the day of judgment.
6)The Sun will Rise from the West: This will be a major sign indicating that the world has reached its end. Allah has created the sun and He always made it rise in the East, however, at the end of time He will reverse this process by making it rise from the West. Once this happens, Allah will not accept the repentance of the disbelievers, it will be too late for them.

Barzakh, Judgment
Barzakh
Barzakh is a sequence that happens after death, in which the soul separates from the body and then rests in a cold sleep state.
[edit] Judgment
Main article: Barzakh
During judgment, a man's or a woman's own book of deeds will be opened, and will be apprised of every action one did and every word one spoke (Qur'an 54.52-53). Actions taken during childhood are not judged. The account of deeds is so detailed that the man or woman will be in awe at how comprehensive the account is, such that even lesser and trivial deeds are included. Throughout judgment, however, the underlying principle is that of a complete and perfect justice administered by Allah. The accounts of judgment are also replete with the emphasis that Allah is merciful and forgiving, and that mercy and forgiveness will be granted on that day insofar as it is merited.
While appearing similar to certain parts of the Bible (Ezekiel 18:27, James 2:14-17, 1 Peter 1:17, Revelation 2:23), this is dissimilar to some protestant branches of Christianity, where salvation is by the grace of Yahweh (Titus 2:11) through sharing with Jesus Christ the experience of crucifixion, death, and resurrection (Romans 6:4, Galatians 2:20, Romans 6:9-11), and salvation is not by deeds (Galatians 2:16, 2:21, 3:6-14). Islam, however, emphasizes that grace does not conflict with perfect justice.
The age of the hereafter or rest of eternity is the final stage commencing after the Day of Judgment and all of humanity has received their judgment from Allah. If they were righteous and did good deeds based on their own circumstances, then if Allah wills, by his mercy they go to Jannat (heaven) a state of bliss and if they have attained little in life, and were unrighteous in their actions—or were despite all evidence shown to them bent on denying the truth of life once it was presented to them—based on their own circumstances they shall go to Jahannam (a spiritual state of suffering). This stage of life commences officially after the embodiment of Death is brought up and is slain, thus Death dies literally, and no one will ever experience or behold the concept of Death everafter. Based on the verdict received which is brought upon by each person's individual deeds actions and circumstances in life the Day of Judgment which everyone is judged with the utmost sense of justice, each human will spend this stage of life in Heaven or Hell (which will be a place for purification of the soul so that one realizes the wrongs each has committed in life) . However, those in hell are eligible to go to the state heaven after being purified by the state described as hell at a later time if they "had an atom's worth of faith in them" and the soul is repentful. It is believed by many Muslims that a Muslim will end up in Jannah once their sins have been punished.[citation needed]

Overview
Overview
The Qur'an states that even the smallest acts of the believers will not be wasted.
[A]nyone who has an atom's worth of goodness will see it and anyone who has done an atom's worth of evil will also see it.[Qur'an 99:7]
Those whose belief in God shaped their correct perception on life, and who did good deeds and are faithful will be tested in this world but will be rewarded in the hereafter if their deeds are deemed acceptable by Allah and vice versa.[Qur'an 2:62][5]
There are some translations of the Qur’an in which we read statements like these:
Surely Allah does not do injustice to the weight of an atom, and if it is a good deed He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward. S. 4:40 Shakir
And you are not (engaged) in any affair, nor do you recite concerning it any portion of the Quran, nor do you do any work but We are witnesses over you when you enter into it, and there does not lie concealed from your Lord the weight of an atom in the earth or in the heaven, nor any thing less than that nor greater, but it is in a clear book. S. 10:61 Shakir
The Unbelievers say, "Never to us will come the Hour": Say, "Nay! but most surely, by my Lord, it will come upon you; - by Him Who knows the unseen, - from Whom is not hidden the least little atom in the heavens or on earth: Nor is there anything less than that, or greater, but is in the Record Perspicuous: S. 34:3 Yusuf Ali

Importance and Terminology
Importance and Terminology
Belief in al-Qiyāmah is considered a fundamental tenet of faith by all Muslims.[4] The trials and tribulations associated with it are detailed in both the Qur'an and the hadith, as well as in the commentaries of the Islamic expositors and scholarly authorities such as al-Ghazali, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Majah, Muhammad al-Bukhari, and Ibn Khuzaimah who explain them in detail. Every human, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, is held accountable for his or her deeds and are judged by God accordingly.[Qur'an 74:38].
The importance of the Last Judgement is underlined by the many references to it in the Qur'an and its many names. For example, it is also called "the Day of Reckoning",[Qur'an 71:18] "the Hour"[Qur'an 31:34][Qur'an 74:47], "Day of the Account"[Qur'an 72:130], "Day of the Gathering", "Day of the Reckoning", and the "Great Announcement".

In Islam, Yawm al-Qiyāmah "the Day of Resurrection" (Arabic: يوم القيامة) or Yawm ad-Din "the Day of Judgement" (Arabic: يوم الدين) is God's final assessment of humanity. al-Qiyāmah is also the name of the 75th surah of the Qur'an.
The sequence of events according to the most common understanding is the annihilation of all creatures, resurrection of the body and the judgment of all sentient creatures. The time of the Hour is not known however there are Major.[1] and Minor Signs[2] which will occur near the time of Qiyamah (Doomsday) and these have been documented. Final judgment forms one of the main themes of the Qur'an. Many Qur'anic verses, especially the earliest ones, are dominated by the idea of the nearing Day of Resurrection.[3][4]
