Abstract

Anyone with a mobile phone can now ask generative artificial intelligence for religious answers in fluent Indonesian, complete with verses and hadiths, at any hour. This article examines what that change means for religious authority and for adab, the ethics of conduct through which knowledge is transmitted and received in Islamic tradition, by conceptualising such a system as an algorithmic ulama. The study is a qualitative interpretive analysis. Thematic analysis was applied to 24 scholarly works, and document analysis to 15 dated public primary documents, comprising statements of Nahdlatul Ulama, the Indonesian Ulama Council, and Muhammadiyah, together with state guidance, international and interfaith frameworks, and a Malaysian comparator, supported by data on internet use. Three findings emerge. First, generative artificial intelligence reproduces the form of a scholarly answer while disrupting five dimensions of the adab of knowledge: sanad, the verifiable chain of transmission; ṣuḥbah, the formative bond between teacher and learner; tawaqquf, the humility to suspend judgement; ikhtilāf, legitimate scholarly disagreement; and accountability. Second, the major Islamic organisations agree that artificial intelligence may not act as a mufti or a teacher of religion, but they diverge on its use in da'wah and learning, from prohibition, to setting boundaries, to ethical enablement. Third, these responses address users and scholars rather than the systems themselves, so system design remains largely ungoverned. The article therefore proposes an adab-by-design framework that translates the five dimensions into requirements for developers, religious institutions, and users, and argues that adab can give artificial intelligence ethics a concrete vocabulary beyond general principles of transparency and human oversight.

Abstract

Although it remains the most important framework in politeness studies, the model's shortcomings can be highlighted in the way that the same type of expressions can be offensive and yet elicit national outrage yet another equally offensive expression can go unmarked, and state downfalls and resignations can result. This article aims to reconstruct politeness theory built based on qawlan concept as depicted in the Qur'ān and experienced and debated in the Islamic communication in Indonesia. It was designed in qualitative interpretive method in which a thematic reading (tafsir mawdu’i) was performed on the verses of qawlans and reflexive thematic analysis was conducted on 19 news reports and official statements from the public on the Internet between November 2024 and August 2026, and complemented by published data on a comment level. It tackles the following five cases: a preacher flogging a street vendor; the 2025 protests; suspension of TikTok LIVE; a ministry's decision on a political video; and a regulation for four hours takedown. The four evaluative criteria found were: respect of the less powerful party (as perceived by the networked bystanders), veracity of contents, direction of the forceful language and amplification of the channel. Only some of these criteria are found in accounts in which the face is covered; they are not ordered as they are in the qawlan tradition. An Accountable Dignity Model is therefore suggested, that organizes the Qur'anic ethics of speech in the following layers: epistemic, relational and consequential, all based on human dignity (karamah). It brings a layer of truth to the concept of politeness, shifts from the hearer to the networked public, and connects politeness with accountability, implications for pragmatics, religious communication and platform governance.

Abstract

Critical minerals diplomacy is usually analysed as a contest over supply chains, investment and trade rules, while education is treated as a separate field of soft power. This article asks how education is positioned within Indonesia’s nickel partnerships with the United States, Japan and Australia, and what that positioning reveals about the terms on which a resource-rich middle power engages its partners. Using a qualitative comparative case design, the study applies document analysis and reflexive thematic analysis to 20 freely accessible official documents and reports, most issued between July 2023 and August 2026, including leaders’ joint statements, trade agreements, memoranda and ministerial statements. Four themes were identified. First, partners frame education primarily as workforce formation for mineral and clean-energy supply chains, while Indonesia’s own statements foreground downstream industrialisation and battery production. Second, education diplomacy runs largely on a parallel track: scholarships, university campuses and exchanges are prominent but rarely linked to mining, processing or battery skills. Third, framing is asymmetric: partners present education as attraction and long-term friendship, whereas Indonesia treats partnerships as channels for capital, technology and domestic vocational capacity built with industrial-park investors. Fourth, the United States shifted between 2023 and 2026 from a capacity-building partnership to a transactional market-access agreement, while Japan moved towards coupling minerals with industrial human resource development. The article proposes the Critical Minerals Knowledge Diplomacy (CMKD) framework, which locates partnerships by the coupling of education to the minerals agenda and by their developmental or transactional orientation, and introduces the concept of the downstream knowledge gap. It argues that education will strengthen Indonesia’s bargaining position only if it is negotiated as part of the minerals agenda rather than alongside it.
