Abstract

This study examines how contemporary state policies are transforming the traditions and identities of Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), and how both organisations are responding to and negotiating these changes in public life. Drawing on Foucault’s concept of governmentality, Talal Asad’s thesis on the state’s construction of ‘religion’, and coercive isomorphism, this qualitative study—comprising interviews, observation and document analysis—examines policies such as religious moderation, the Pancasila ideology and the regulation of civil society organisations. The findings indicate that the state acts not only as a regulator but also as a normative and discursive force that limits the legitimacy of religious practices; the identities of Muhammadiyah and NU tend to converge towards the state-sanctioned discourse of ‘moderate and nationalist Islam’, although both continue to adaptively preserve their traditional characteristics. This research enriches the theory of religion-state relations by highlighting the governmental and discursive dimensions of religious regulation.

Abstract

Contemporary Muslim families are increasingly confronted with complex social challenges arising from globalization, digital transformation, economic instability, shifting gender relations, and weakening emotional communication within households. In many Muslim societies, the concept of the sakinah family is frequently understood through normative and legalistic frameworks that emphasize formal obedience and patriarchal authority while paying limited attention to emotional well-being, ethical partnership, and contemporary social realities. This study aims to reconstruct the Qur’anic concept of the sakinah family through a maqāṣidī tafsir approach by integrating Qur’anic ethics with contemporary Muslim family dynamics. This research employs a qualitative library-based method using thematic Qur’anic interpretation (tafsīr mawḍū‘ī) and the framework of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. Primary data are derived from Qur’anic verses related to family ethics, while secondary data include classical and contemporary tafsir works, maqāṣid literature, and recent studies on Muslim family transformation. The findings reveal that the Qur’anic concept of the sakinah family extends beyond formal marital legality toward the realization of emotional tranquility, ethical communication, compassion, collaborative responsibility, and spiritual resilience. Through the maqāṣidī perspective, sakinah is reconstructed as a dynamic ethical framework grounded in the principles of maṣlaḥah, justice, reciprocity, and family welfare. The study also demonstrates that concepts such as qiwāmah, mawaddah, and raḥmah should be interpreted contextually in response to contemporary social realities rather than through rigid patriarchal understandings. Theoretically, this article contributes to the development of contemporary Qur’anic studies by demonstrating the relevance of maqāṣidī tafsir as a contextual and transformative interpretive approach. Socially, the study offers an ethical framework for strengthening emotional resilience, communication, and family harmony within contemporary Muslim societies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic civil society in maintaining social harmony and strengthening the future of democracy in Indonesia by highlighting the contributions of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, the two largest Islamic organizations in the country. Employing a field research design and a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving organizational leaders, academics, and relevant sources. The analysis utilized a descriptive-analytical method grounded in the civil society theories proposed by Robert W. Hefner and Larry Diamond. The findings reveal that NU and Muhammadiyah play strategic roles in reinforcing democratic values, promoting tolerance, and sustaining social cohesion within Indonesia’s pluralistic society. NU, through the concept of Islam Nusantara, integrates Islamic teachings with local cultural values, while Muhammadiyah advances progressive Islam by emphasizing rationality, education, and social reform. Despite these contributions, Indonesian democracy continues to face significant challenges, including religious populism, identity-based politics, and shifting political dynamics. This study concludes that strengthening Islamic civil society is essential for preserving social stability and ensuring the long-term sustainability of democracy in Indonesia.
