Scholastic Theology [IO Islamic 1258] Anthology of Shīʿa theological works
<ul> <li><strong>Scholastic Theology.</strong></li> <li><strong>This manuscript is now IO Islamic 1258 </strong><strong>in the India Office collections.</strong></li> <li><strong>[metadata:</strong><a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Loth"> <strong>Otto Loth, </strong></a><strong><em><a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3923636">A Catalogue of the Arabic Manuscripts in the Library of the India Office</a></em>, (volume 1), no. 471 here with further notations and hyperlinks]</strong>.</li> </ul> <p>471.</p> <p>1258. Size 17 in. by 11 in.; foll. 472. Generally forty-one lines in a page.</p> <p>A valuable collection of Shî’ah works on theological subjects.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Foll. 1-27. کتاب شواهد مکی, more accurately الشواهد المکیة فی مداحض حجج الخیالات المدنیة. A treatise written in refutation of another treatise, called الفوائد المدنیة فی الرد علی من قال بالاجتهاد و التقلید فی الاحکام الالهیة; the latter being an essay towards clearing the foundations of the Shî’ah religion and law of unsound traditions and placets of Mujtahids which were contrary to the “Catholic” faith and to the doctrines of the Imâms.</p> </li> </ol> <p>The names of both authors are unknown; but the time of the second is fairly defined by his dedication of this work to Sulṭân ‘Abdallah Ḳuṭb Shâh (of Golcondah, who reigned from A.H. 1020 to 1082); while the first mentions in a passage quoted on fol. 3<em>v</em>., that his last Shaikh was Mîrzâ Muḥammad Astarâbâdî, whose lectures he attended between A.H. 1015 and 1020, at Makkah. The same speaks of his studies and of his present task as follows (fol. 1<em>v</em>.):</p> <p>انی بعد ما قرات الاصولین علی معظم اصحابهما و استفدت حقائقهما و دقائقهما من کمل (!) اربابهما و تحملت الاحادیث المنقولة عن العترة الطاهرة علیهم السلام من جل رواتها العارفین لحقائقها الواصلین الی دقائقها و اخذت علم الفقه من افواه جماعة من فقهاء اصحابنا عرضت علی تلک الاحادیث قواعد الاصولین المسطورة فی کتب اصول الخاصة و کتب العامة و المسائل الاجتهادیة الفقهیة فوجدتهما فی مواضع لا تعد و لا تحصی مخالفتین لمتواتراتها فصرفت عمری دهرا طویلا فی المدینة المنورة علی مشرقها افضل الصلوة و السلام فی تنقیح تلک الاحادیث و تحقیقها حتی فتح علیّ ابواب الحق الخ.</p> <p>The refutation by the second author begins:</p> <p>الحمدلله حمدا یلیق بجلاله ... و بعد فاقول ان الباعث علی التعرض لکلام هذا الفاضل فی المؤلَّف الذی وسمه بالفوائد المدنیة الخ.</p> <p>He says that he was chiefly offended with the self-conceit and the rude polemics of his predecessor, though he is not willing to follow his bad example, in depreciating the real merita of his work. His object, therefore, is only to defend the divines of the later church, such as <em>Ḥillî </em>and others, against his exaggerations and false imputations.</p> <p>The passages selected for refutation are given at full length, under the heading قال; and they are followed by the refutation, which is introduced by اقول.</p> <p>Imperfect at the end. A few notes by the author are on the margin.</p> <ol> <li> <p><sup>1</sup>Foll. 28-49. کتاب نهج الحق و کشف الصدق, the same as no. 437. The author is called in the colophon, مولینا و شیخنا و مولی جمیع المومنین شیخ جمال الدین المطهر, <em>i.e. </em>Jamâl al-dîn Abu Manṣûr Ḥasan b. Yûsuf, commonly called IBN AL-MUṬAHHAR ḤILLÎ (d. A.H. 726).</p> </li> </ol> <p>This copy was finished on Saturday, 27<sup>th</sup> Jum. II., 1154=24<sup>th</sup> year of Muḥammad Shâh. It was subsequently collated with the original copy.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Foll. 50-60. کتاب منهاج الکرامة. A concise vindication of the Shî’ah doctrine on the Imâmate, fully styled منهاج الکرامة فی معرفة الامامة. See for a description of it, Fleischer, Cat. Sen. Lips. 475. The author is not named, but from its being, like the preceding treatise, dedicated to Ûljâitû-خدمتُ بها خزانة السلطان الاعظم...شاهنشاه المعظّم غیاث الملة و الحق و الدین اولجایتو سلطان محمد (var. خدابنده), it may be concluded that it is also by ḤILLÎ.</p> </li> </ol> <p>Some notes.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Foll. 60<em>v</em>.-77. کتاب کشف الیقین. A short treatise on the excellency of ‘Alî, entitled کشف الیقین فی فضائل امیر المؤمنین. It was compiled by order of Ûljâitû Khudâbandah. The author is probably also IBN AL-MUṬAHHAR ḤILLÎ.</p> </li> </ol> <p>Begins:</p> <p>الحمدلله القدیم القاهر، الحلیم الغافر،...امّا بعد فان مرسوم السلطان الاعظم الخ.</p> <p>The author divides his subject into the following parts: I. (fol. 60<em>v</em>.)الفصل الاول فی الفضائل الثابتة له قبل وجوده و ولادته; II. (<em>ib.)</em> فی الفضائل الثابتة له حال خلقه و ولادته; III. (fol. 61) فی فضائلها (!) الثابتة له حال کماله و بلوغه.</p> <p>This is the principal part. It treats of ‘Alî’s virtues and achievements, and is subdivided into two chapters: 1. الباب الاول فی الفضائل المکتسبة من الفعل و الاثر و هذه الفضائل اما ان تکون نفسانیة او بدنیة, the latter division being the subject of two مطلب, each of which contains several بحث. The second chapter (fol. 67),</p> <p>البحث (الباب .r) الثانی فی الفضائل الحاصلة له عم من خارج,</p> <p>Treats of the honours bestowed on ‘Alî during his lifetime, and contains thirty-seven بحث. Part IV. (fol. 76<em>v</em>.), فی فضائل مولانا امیر المؤمنین عـ فی النوم treats of miracles performed in ‘Alî’s name after his death.</p> <p>The author concludes as follows: و لنقتصر علی هذا القدر فی هذا المختصر فان من رام احصاء جمیع الفضائل فقد طلب المحال الخ.</p> <p>Marginal notes, and <em>Persian </em>interlineations, in red.</p> <p>The two following pages (77<em>v</em>. and 78<em>r.</em>) are filled with various poetical extracts, preceded by the story of a joke which Ḥudhaifah and ‘Alî played off on ‘Omar. It begins: قیل ان عمر بن الخطاب لقی حذیفة بن الیمان.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Foll. 79-105. کتاب مناهج الیقین. A concise treatise on the Fundamental Principles of the Shî’ah Creed, fully entitled مناهج الیقین فی اصول الدین; also by ḤILLÎ, who completed it, according to the conclusion, on 6<sup>th</sup> Rabî’ II., 680.</p> </li> </ol> <p>Begins: الحمدلله منشئ الفطر، و خالق البشر.</p> <p>The author says in his short preface that the chief object of the present treatise is to prove the existence of God and his attributes. He refers to the system of the Scholastics, and to that of the earlier Philosophers; he points out the differences between the two sects, and decides, of course, in favour of the Shî’ah.</p> <p>The work consists of an introduction (مقدّمة), on perception, and twelve chapters (منهج). I. (fol. 79) فی تقسیم المعلوم, on possibility and impossibility, entity and non-entity; II. (fol. 80) فی تقسیم الموجودات, on the division of existing things, according to the systems of the Scholastics (into قدیم and محدث), and of the Philosophers (into واجب and ممکن); III. (fol. 90) فی احکام الموجودات, on accidents; IV. (fol. 90<em>v</em>.) فی اثبات واجب الوجود; V. (fol. 95) فیما یستحیل علیه تعالی; VI. (fol. 96) فی العدل; VII. (fol. 98<em>v</em>.) فی النبوة; VIII.<sup>1</sup> (fol. 100<em>v</em>.) فی الامامة; IX. (fol. 103) فی المعاد; X. (fol. 103<em>v</em>.) فی الوعد و الوعید; XI. (fol. 105) فی الاسماء و الاحکام; XII. (fol. 105<em>v</em>) فی الامر بالمعروف و النهی عن المنکر.</p> <p>Date, middle of Ramaḍan, 1154=24<sup>th</sup> year of Muḥammad Shâh. The copyist styles himself تراب اقدام آل بتول عبد الرسول ولد شیخ محمد.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Foll. 106-130. کتاب معارج الفهم. A commentary, by the same author, on a similar work of his, called نظم البراهین فی اصول الدین. Cf. Bibl. Sprenger. 576.</p> </li> </ol> <p>Beginning: بعونک یا لطیف الحمد لله علی ما اولانا من التوفیق و هدانا الی سوآء الصراط. The author says that he composed the first work as an introduction to scholastic theology. But finding it, from its extreme conciseness, too obscure for most readers, he added the present short commentary.</p> <p>The text and commentary are distinguished by قال and اقول. The former begins:</p> <p>الحمدلله الواحد فی ذاته ...و بعد فهذه رسالة فی علم الکلام تشتمل علی جواهر و تحتوی علی نوادر فی غایة الایجاز و الاختصار</p> <p>, and is divided into seven chapters: I. فی النظر; II. (fol. 108) فی الحدوث; III. (fol. 112) فی اثبات الصانع تع و صفاته و خواصه; IV. (fol. 121<em>v</em>.) فی العدل; V. (fol. 123) فی النبوة; VI. (fol. 125) فی الامامة; VII. (fol. 126<em>v</em>.) فی المعاد. The author concludes: فهذا آخر ما اوردناه فی هذه المقدمة اللهم الخ.</p> <p>Inelegantly written.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Foll. 131-159. کتاب ارشاد الطالبین. A copious Commentary on a similar work. The title of the latter is not mentioned, but it appears from quotations in the commentary that it is also by <em>Ḥillî.</em></p> </li> </ol> <p>The name of the commentator is not given. He quotes the opinions of the Mu’tazilites, and Ash’arî; the Scholastics; the Philosophers, especially Ibn Sînâ and Ṭûsî; and the doctrines of his own sect, the Imâmîyah.</p> <p>The text and the commentary are distinguished by قال and اقول. The work begins without a preface:</p> <p>قال قدس الله سره بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم اقول قد جرت عادة المصنفین بالابتدآء فی اوائل کتبهم بذکر البسملة.</p> <p>Very often only the first words of the passages commented on are given (after قال). The preface of Ḥillî begins: الحمدلله المنقذ; then follow probably the words من الحیرة و الضلال. His work is divided into sections (فصل): I. (fol. 132) فی تقسیم المعلومات; II. (fol. 132<em>v</em>.) فی اقسام الممکنات; III. (<em>ib.)</em> في احكام المعلومات; IV. (fol. 133) فی احکام الموجودات; V. (fol. 142<em>v</em>.) فی اثبات واحجب الوجود تع و صفاته; VI. (fol. 145) فی احکام هذه الصفات; VIII. (fol. 145<em>v</em>.) فیما یستحیل علیه تع; VIII. (fol. 147) فی العدل; IX. (fol. 148) فی فروع العدل; X. (fol. 150) فی النبوة; XI. (fol. 152) فی الامامة; XII. (fol. 155<em>v</em>.) فی الامر بالمعروف الخ; XIII. (<em>ib.</em>) فی المعاد. This division comes very near to that of no. V.</p> <p>The commentator concludes with a prayer, which he ascribes to the Prophet, on the authority of Ibn Bâbawaih. It begins: یا من اظهر الجمیل و ستر القبیح.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Foll. 160-257. کتاب صراط المستقیم. A work on the Imâmate of ‘Alî and his descendants, compiled by an unknown author, A.H. 854. The correct title is الصراط المستقیم الی مستحقی التقدیم.</p> </li> </ol> <p>The preface begins: اللهَ احمد حمدا لا یضاهی علی وجوب وجوده...اما بعد فلما کان کمال الایمان، بمعرفة ائمّة الازمان، بمنطوق شریف القران.</p> <p>The author says in it that he compiled this work from both Shî’ah and Sunnite authorities. It contains arguments logical and scriptural, traditions, poetry, etc.</p> <p>In the first introduction he offers a list of works which he quotes from actual inspectionمقدّمة فی –ذکر شئ من الکتب التی عثرت علیها و اضفت ما نقلته الیها.</p> <p>They are: 1. کتاب الکشاف للزمخشری; 2. منهاج المحدثین للنواوی; 3.

The third مقدّمة (fol. 161<em>v</em>.) gives an epitome of the contents of the work. It is divided into seventeen chapters; their subjects are, as the author states, already indicated by the words of the preface. They are: I. فی اثبات الواجب و صفاته; II. (fol. 162) فی ابطال الجبر المنافی لعدله; III. (fol. 163<em>v</em>.) فی اثبات النبی و صفاته; IV. (fol. 166) فی اثبات الوصی و صفاته; V. (fol. 169) فیما صدر عنه من الکرامات الموجبة لاستحقاقه; VI.

A treatise in refutation of erroneous opinions entertained regarding the Imâmate. The author, who is not mentioned by name, lived in the fifth century.</p> </li> </ol> <p>The preface begins: اللهم انّا نحمدک علی ما انعمت و اعطیت، و نشکرک لما اولیت و اسدیت. The author relates that a friend of his read a work of <em>Mufîd</em> (<em>i.e. </em>Muḥammad b. Muḥammad b. al-Nu’mân, d. A.H. 413),<sup>1</sup> on the Imâmate, called اطراف الدلائل و اوائل المسائل, and was particularly struck with its last chapter, which treated briefly of the common errors regarding the Imâmate, in terms of astonishment (..بابا من اغلاط العامة اورد الشیخ رضی الله عنه علی طریق التعجب منهم). His friend, therefore, desired him to write, in the same style, a special and detailed treatise on that subject. Accordingly, he gives a series of discussions, all introduced by the words و من عجیب امرهم, and subdivided according to the subjects into sections, which are usually inscribed فصل فی اغلاطهم فی…. The above title does not occur in the work. The author scarcely quotes any authorities, but he mentions once (fol. 263<em>v</em>.) that he was told by Ḳâḍi Abu’l- Ḥasan Asad b. Ibrâhîm Sulamî, that he met Ibn al-Naḥḥâs (d. A.H. 376),<sup>1</sup> at Miṣr, etc.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Foll. 268-282. کتاب نفحات اللاهوت.</p> </li> </ol> <p>A polemical treatise, in which is proved that it is lawful to curse the Sunnites like unbelievers. It is fully entitled نفحات اللاهوت فی لعن الجبت و الطاغوت. The author is ‘ALÎ B. ‘ABD AL-‘ALÎ (عبدالعال, sic), who completed it in Dhû-alḥijjah, 917, at Mashhad (بمشهد مولای و مولی الثقلین الامام المرتضی علی موسی), and dedicated it to (Shâh Ismâ’îl) the founder of the Ṣafawî dynasty. Another work of this author is to be found in Cat. Lugd. iv. 116.</p> <p>Beginning: اللّهم فاطر السموات و الارض عالم الغیب و الشهادة انت تحکم بین عبادک فیما کانو فیه یختلفون.</p> <p>The author praises the new dynasty (الدولة القاهرة الباهرة الشریفة المنیفة العالیة السامیة العلیّة العلویّة الشاهیّة الصفویّة الموسویّة), and reviles the Omayyades and Abbasides, etc. He then proceeds to say that he had observed that, under the constant oppression to which they were hitherto exposed, many weak Shî’ahs had of late become doubtful as to their right of cursing the Sunnites. He therefore intends to prove, not only from the Koran, but even from their own traditions, that they are liable to be cursed.</p> <p>The work consists of an introduction (مقدّمة), on the meaning of cursing, and of seven sections, which contain arguments in support of the above assertion. Five of them refer to passages of the Koran, one to the Sunnah, and the seventh to the Shî’ah (Imâmîyah) tradition.</p> <p>The appendix (خاتمة) comprises two discussions, one regarding ‘Â’ishah, and whether she deserves to be cursed, the other treating of the diverging principles of the law of the two sects.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Foll. 283-316. کتاب کشف البراهین. A treatise on the Leading Dogmas of Islâm, entitledزاد المسافرین فی اصول الدین, with a copious Commentary on it, both by Muḥammad b. ‘Alî b. Ibrâhîm b. Ḥasan b. Ibrâhîm b. Fâḍil IBN ABU JUMHÛR AḤSÂWÎ (افحساوی, sic, r. الاحساوی, as in the following piece).<sup>1</sup></p> </li> </ol> <p>The preface begins: ان اولی ما صُرِفت فیه القوی و توجهت الیه الهمم. The author gives in it a circumstantial account of the origin of both works. He states, first, that he had already written several other works on theology (specified in a note on the margin as کتاب معین الفکر, معین المعین, etc). He then proceeds to relate that, A. H. 877, he made the pilgrimage to Makkah, and after it visited لیلی (<em>i.e.</em> Madînah, according to a marginal note). He then went into ‘Irâḳ, and visited the tombs of the Imâms there, and finally traveled into Khurâsân, in order to pay his devotions to the tomb of ‘Alî Riḍa, at Mashhad. On his way thither he commenced the treatise زاد المسافرین, at the request of a traveling companion, and completed it after his arrival at Mashhad. Having subsequently made there the acquaintance of a distinguished Saiyid and descendant of ‘Alî Riḍa, named Ghiyâth al-dîn Muḥsin b. Muḥammad, he was induced by him to write a commentary on the said treatise. He completed this commentary, as we learn from the conclusion, on Wednesday, 17<sup>th</sup> Dhû-alḥijjah, 878, at the mansion of the Saiyid.</p> <p>The original text and the commentary are distinguished by قال and اقول, and the former is given in full. It begins: الحمدلله المتفرد بوجوب الوجود....و بعد فهذه رسالة مشتملة علی ما یجب علی المکلف اعتقاده من العقائد الکلامیة و المسائل الاصولیة, and is divided into seven sections (فصل): I. (fol. 284<em>v</em>.) فی اثبات واجب الوجود; II. (fol. 287<em>v</em>.) فی الصفات الثبوتیة; III. (fol. 291) فی الصفات السلبیة; IV. (fol. 295<em>v</em>.) فی الافعال المنسوبة الیه; V. (fol. 299<em>v</em>.) فی النبوة; VI. (fol. 302) فی الامامة; VII. (fol. 313) فی المعاد. In the commentary the author displays a great deal of learning. He always speaks of himself in the third person.</p> <p>Frequent marginal and interlinear notes, the latter in red.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Foll. 317-318. رسالة العقائد. The Minimum of Tenets indispensable to the Shî’ah; by the same author, who completed his work on Monday, 25<sup>th</sup> Muḥarram, 889, at Mashhad.</p> </li> </ol> <p>Begins: الحمدلله حق حمده ...و بعد فهذه رسالة تشتمل علی اقل ما یجب علی المکلفین من العلم باصول الدین.</p> <p>Additions by the author are on the margin.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Foll. 319-331. کتاب شرح فصول. A Commentary on a short treatise by Abu Ja’far Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan <em>Ṭûsî</em> (d. A.H. 460), on the fundamental dogmas (اصول) of the Shî’ah creed, which is called here الفصول.<sup>1</sup> The author of the commentary is not named. The latter is entitled منتهی السول فی شرح الفصول.</p> </li> </ol> <p>Begins: الحمدلله مبدع نظام الاصول، و مخترع ترتیب الفصول. The passages to be explained are introduced by قوله, and the commentary by اقول. The preface of the original work is omitted. It consists of four sections (فصل): I. فی التوحید; II. (fol. 324<em>v</em>.) فی العدل; III. (fol. 327)فی النبوة و الامامة ; IV. (fol. 328<em>v</em>.) فی المعاد. Each section comprises sundry dogmas (اصل).</p> <p>Marginal and interlinear notes, the latter in red.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Foll. 332-378. کتاب شرح تجرید. A commentary on <em>Naṣîr al-dîn</em> <em>Ṭûsî’s </em>(d. A.H. 672) تجرید الکلام (see no. 405). The author is not named;<sup>2</sup> there is, however, no doubt that it is the commentary of IBN AL-MUṬAHHAR ḤILLÎ (Ḥasan b. Yûsuf, d. A.H. 726) mentioned in Ḥ. Kh. ii. 194. It is true, the first words quoted there do not agree with this MS., which begins: الحمدلله القاهر سلطانه، العظم (العظیم.r) شانه; but the words following here subsequently, اما بعد قال (؟فان.r) کمال الانسان انما هو بحصول المعارف الالهیة الخ, seem to bear some relation to them. There are probably two different versions of the preface.</p> </li> </ol> <p>The author styles the work of Ṭûsî تجرید الاعتقاد, and he entitles his commentary, accordingly, شرح تجرید الاعتقاد (it is, however, mentioned by him in his خلاصة الاقوال <sup>1</sup> under the fuller title کشف المراد فی شرح تجرید الاعتقاد). He was a disciple of Ṭûsî, and completed this commentary on 16<sup>th</sup> RabÎ’ I., 696.</p> <p>Some portions have copious marginal notes. The margin exceeds the size of the volume, and is generally folded down, but in some cases cut away.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Foll. 379-388. حاشیه شرح جدید للتجرید.</p> </li> </ol> <p>Glosses on that part of <em>Ḳûshjî’s</em> Commentary on the <em>Tajrîd</em><sup><em>2 </em></sup>which comprises the fifth مقصد, on the Imâmate; by NÛR ALLAH b. Sharîf Imâm Ḥusainî.</p> <p>Begins:امامَ کل امر ذی بال، و امام کل کلام و مقال، حمدُ من اقام الامام لطفا علی الانام.</p> <p>The author observed that the criticisms of Ḳûshjî, a Sunnite, on the tenets professed in the said part of the <em>Tajrîd</em>, had not yet been answered by writers of the Shî’ah sect; he, therefore, undertook this task, lest the opposite party should have the last word in the matter. He seems to have written in India, when the Muḥammadan kings of the Dakhan were still in power. This would appear from the following remark on fol. 380:</p> <p>و ایضا یجوز ان یتولی الدنیا اثنین (!) او ازید یتقارب کل منهم فی القوة بحیث یمسک کل عن الآخر کما یشاهد (!) الحال من حال السلاطین المجتمعة فی ارض الدکن من سواد الهند.</p> <p>He quotes occasionally a work of his father, namely a <em>Persian</em> commentary on الخطبة الشقشقیة, an alleged speech of ‘Alî,<sup>3</sup> and also a supplement to it (تکملة), in which Mîrkhond’s (d.

Do privacy assurances work? A study of truthfulness in healthcare history data collection
<p>Patients often provide untruthful information about their health to avoid embarrassment, evade treatment, or prevent financial loss. Privacy disclosures (e.g. HIPAA) intended to dissuade privacy concerns may actually increase patient lying. We used new mouse tracking-based technology to detect lies through mouse movement (distance and time to response) and patient answer adjustment in an online controlled study of 611 potential patients, randomly assigned to one of six treatments. Treatments differed in the notices patients received before health information was requested, including notices about privacy, benefits of truthful disclosure, and risks of inaccurate disclosure. Increased time or distance of device mouse movement and greater adjustment of answers indicate less truthfulness. Mouse tracking revealed a significant overall effect (p < 0.001) by treatment on the time to reach their final choice. The control took the least time indicating greater truthfulness and the privacy + risk group took the longest indicating the least truthfulness. Privacy, risk, and benefit disclosure statements led to greater lying. These differences were moderated by gender. Mouse tracking results largely confirmed the answer adjustment lie detection method with an overall treatment effect (p < .0001) and gender differences (p < .0001) on truthfulness. Privacy notices led to decreased patient honesty. Privacy notices should perhaps be administered well before personal health disclosure is requested to minimize patient untruthfulness. Mouse tracking and answer adjustment appear to be healthcare lie-detection methods to enhance optimal diagnosis and treatment.</p>
Flexible But Disconnected: Airbnb Hosts' Work-Family Experience and Social Isolation
<p>This research explores relationships among Airbnb hosts’ experience of social isolation/loneliness, social support, work-family conflict in relation to wellbeing, life satisfaction, and intent to stay with Airbnb. We tested a structural model using data from 136 Airbnb hosts and found that greater levels of social isolation were associated with higher work-family conflict, lower mental wellbeing, and lower life satisfaction. We also found the social support was negatively related to social isolation. Our findings suggest the double-bind of gig work: while hosting on Airbnb provides flexible work and additional income, it may come at the cost of social isolation. This has implications for gig workers and the organizations who contract with them. The absence of social connection and the competitive nature of the gig economy may result in feelings of alienation unless measures are taken to prioritize the humanity of workers.</p>

Turning to Religion as a Mediator of the Relationship Between Hopelessness and Job Satisfaction During the COVID-19 Pandemic Among Individuals Representing the Uniformed Services or Working in Professions of Public Trust in Poland
<p><strong>Introduction.</strong> During the COVID-19 pandemic individuals performing uniformed service or working in a profession of public trust are particularly exposed to chronic stress. The consequences of stress in turn translate into a decrease in quality of life across various domains, including professional functioning. The perceived mental difficulties can lead to feeling of hopelessness, which in turn can generate a decrease in job satisfaction. Religiosity is a factor which, in stress-inducing conditions, not only stops the spiral of perceived resource losses but also triggers gains in the resources possessed.</p> <p><strong>Aim.</strong> In this study, we tested - in the light of Conservation of resources theory (COR) - whether during the COVID-19 pandemic, the preference for positive religious coping strategies (turning to religion) by people declaring religiosity is a mediator for the relationship between perceived hopelessness and job satisfaction.</p> <p><strong>Methods.</strong> The study covered 238 individuals representing the uniformed services or working in professions of public trust in Poland. The Inventory for Measuring Coping with Stress (MINI-COPE) and The Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) and were employed in the research. <strong>Results.</strong> The mediating role of turning to religion in relationship between perceived hopelessness and job satisfaction was confirmed only in the group of women. The relationship found in this group indicates that perceived hopelessness is alleviated by turning to religion, which at the same time leads to an increase in job satisfaction.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion.</strong> The obtained results prove that it should be standard practice to offer specialist help after potentially traumatic events in the workplace not only in the form of emotional and/or instrumental support but also in the form of spiritual help.</p>
