    Terjemahan Juz Amma Versi Bahasa...

    Juz 30, lebih dikenal sebagai Juz ‘Amma (جز عمّ‎), merupakan bagian Juz yang terakhir dalam Kitab Suci Al-Quran. Juz ini ditandai dengan kata pertama عم ('amma) pada surah An-Naba' ayat satu dan berakhir dalam Surah An-Naas ayat 6. Sebagian besar surah dalam juz ini adalah surah-surah pendek dari surah yang turun di Kota Suci Mekkah. Beberapa surah yang turun di Kota Suci Madinah hanya Surah Al-Bayyinah, Az-Zalzalah, dan An-Nasr.Pembacaan Kitab Suci Al-Quran pada bagian ini banyak dilakukan, beberapa surah pendek yang mudah dihafal berada dalam deretan terakhir bagian belakang dari Juz, sekaligus bagian belakang dan terakhir dari Kitab Suci Al-Quran. 
     
    Surah dengan ayat terbanyak dalam surah ini adalah Surah An-Nazi’at dengan 46 ayat, diikuti Surah 'Abasa dengan 42 ayat, dan Surah An-Naba' dengan jumlah 40 ayat. Surah terpendek dalam Alquran juga terdapat dalam bagian juz ini, yakni Surah Al-Kausar dengan jumlah 3 ayat. Dalam pengkhataman Kitab Suci Al-Quran, Juz 30 dibaca pada hari ke tiga puluh sesuai dengan nomor juz.Selain di baca pada hari terakhir di akhir bulan dalam pengkhataman, kebanyakan imam dalam salat baik wajib (Subuh, Magrib, dan Isya) maupun sunnah secara berjamaah (Tarawih atau Witir) membacakan ayat-ayat dalam Juz ini setelah pembacaan Surah Al-Fatihah. 
     
    Dalam tradisi rakyat Indonesia, Juz 30 atau Juz ‘Amma lebih banyak diketahui dari kitab yang disusun secara tunggal atau Alquran dalam buku khusus yang hanya menuliskan surah-surah terakhir dalam Juz 30.Kini, kitab-kitab tunggal Juz ‘Amma dalam pendidikan dan pembelajaran Alquran kebanyakan digunakan dalam tahap kedua dalam belajar membaca Kitab Suci Al-Quran, setelah fase pengenalan huruf Hijaiyah melalui metode Iqra atau metode serupa lainnya sebelum mempelajari dan membacakan Alquran dengan jumlah Juz yang lengkap. Urutan nomor surah Alquran yang tercantum adalah surah 78 hingga 114. 
     
    A juzʼ (literally meaning "part") is one of thirty parts of varying lengths into which the Quran is divided. Division into juz has no relevance to the meaning of the Quran and anyone can start reading from anywhere in the Quran. During medieval times, when it was too costly for most Muslims to purchase a manuscript, copies of the Quran were kept in mosques and made accessible to people; these copies frequently took the form of a series of thirty parts (juz'). 
     
    Some use these divisions to facilitate recitation of the Quran in a month—such as during Ramadan, when the entire Quran is recited in the Tarawih prayers, usually one juz a night. The most commonly memorized juz is juzʾ amma, which is the 30th juz and contains chapters (sura) 78 through 114, most of the shortest chapters of the Quran. Juzʾ amma is named after the 1st word of the 30th chapter (chapter 78).

  • Spanish So White - Conversations on the Inconvenient Racism of a ‘Foreign’ Language Education - cover

    Spanish So White - Conversations...

    Explicit discussions of race and racial identity have traditionally been omitted from Spanish language education in the US – especially in curricula designed for imagined 'native' speakers of English. Consequences of this de-racialization of Spanish language learning include the perpetuation of institutional racisms and missed opportunities to build productive conversations about the ways race and power are enacted through language. Spanish So White is written specifically for secondary and post-secondary teachers who identify as White and second language learners of Spanish. It supports the development of language education that centers a racially dynamic Spanish-speaking world and challenges interpersonal and institutional forms of racism. Author Adam Schwartz shares stories of his own socialization into Whiteness and Spanish-English bilingualism. He invites readers into the work of reconciling privileges they too may share as White Spanish-language learners and teachers.
