Abstract

AbstractThis article aimed to examine the structure of Javanese singir as an adaptation work of poetry tradition originating from outside Javanese culture and its function for the reading community. This study compared the six Javanese singirs of the library of Universitas Indonesia (Singir Ahli Suwarga, Singir Dagang, Singir Kiamat, Singir Nasihat Jaman Akhir, Singir Patimah, and Singir Santri) with some Arabic and Malay poetry and then discussed them in the social context of Javanese coastal communities. Through a comparative structural approach and sociological studies, this article found that Javanese singir was structurally linked with Arabic poetry rather than with Malay poetry. This could be found in the metrum system which was close to the metrum of kamil majzu’, and various rhyming patterns which were a combination of murabba’ rhyme and muzdawij. The influence of Malay poetry in the six singirs seemed to have little effect, which was limited to aspects of the rhyme pattern a-a-a-a, b-b-b-b that were not fully used. Through an examination of the connection between the six singirs and the reading community, this article also  found that there were two functions of singir; entertaining, and didactic functions that taught various social and religious aspects to the Javanese santri community.

The pesantren that become the object of this research are Pesantren Buntet Cirebon, Pesantren Tebuireng Jombang, and Pesantren API Tegalrejo. Through these pesantrens, this research will look at the extent to which thecontinuity aspect of the pesantrens in maintaining their traditions over the centuries.  In addition, this study will also capture thechanges experienced by pesantren in responding to the development of attitudes and behaviors regarding contemporary and religious issues. Through the two aspects above, this research is expected to obtain an overview of the views of kyai and pesantren in viewing the idea of Wasathiyah Islam, especially related to issues of socio-cultural plurality, tolerance, democracy, and issues of civic values that develop in society.

Abstract

On December 13, 2024, the Institute for Languages and Cultures of the Islamicate World at the University of Cologne held the “Indonesian Studies Day 2024” in Cologne, Germany. Chaired by Prof. Dr. Edwin P. Wieringa (Professor of Indonesian Philology, University of Cologne) and co-chaired by Muhammad Nida’ Fadlan (PhD researcher in Indonesian Islamic Philology, University of Cologne), this academic event focused on the intersection of religion, culture, and identity within the context of Islam in Indonesia. It served as a colloquium that gathered Indonesian PhD students in Europe to discuss the latest research on this subject. There were two main reasons for this event. First, Indonesia is a country that is globally still unfamiliar to many people, even though it has the largest population of Muslims in the world. The attempts to showcase the rich Islamic heritage of Indonesia have not yet been very successful. Second and relatedly, there is still a need to promote academic activities related to Indonesian Islamic studies. This forum brought together doctoral students from different European universities who are researching various topics related to Indonesian Islam, enabling profound and fruitful discussions. By coming together, this intellectual gathering encourages and furthers research in this area.

Abstract

Local culture is undoubtedly a very important aspect to every nation. Having an awareness of local culture, especially among the youth, plays a great role in shaping a society and a state. For one to have an appreciation of another country’s culture, however, can be an important starting point in breaking down barriers of misperceptions or misunderstandings, and in helping to build global relationships. In support of this idea, the Japanese Embassy in Jakarta this year offered a special program called the Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youth (JENESYS) to strengthen the awareness of Japanese local culture among Muslim youth in Indonesia. In early 2014, the Japanese government, working in cooperation with PPIM (Center for the Study of Islam and Society) at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah in Jakarta, invited a number of university students to visit Japan.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v21i2.1044

Abstract

In the last few years, we have witnessed tremendous events occurred on social, religious and political fields in Southeast Asia. This region is believed to be one the most hybrid regions in the world. On one hand, we see the proliferation of democracy and civil society in most of Southeast Asian countries. On the other hand, we also see religious extremism, terrorism, ethno-religious conflicts, and other religious-based violence which have disrupted the stability of this region. The Marawi conflict in the Philippines, the Rohingya case in Myanmar, as well as several cases of violence against minorities in Indonesia and several other Southeast Asian countries are clear evidence that this problem poses threats to the stability of this highly plural societies in the region. For the reason above, the Center for the Study of Islam and Society (PPIM) Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (UIN) Jakarta held the 2nd Studia Islamika International Conference 2017 with the main theme "Southeast Asian Islam: Religious Radicalism, Democracy and Global Trends" on 8-10 August 2017 in Jakarta, Indonesia. This conference is a continuation of the first conference held in 2014.The 2nd Studia Islamika International Conference 2017 is organized to respond various aspects related to current social and religious issues in Southeast Asia. The conference explores Southeast Asian's political trends including religious radicalism, democratic development, and global trends. In addition, the conference is also dedicated to promote Studia Islamika, published by PPIM, as an important reference on studies of Islam in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v24i3.6566

Abstract

Oman Fathurahman, Kawashima Midori, and Labi Sarip Riwarung (eds.). 2019. The Library of an Islamic Scholar of Mindanao: The Collection of Sheik Muhammad Said bin Imam sa Bayang at the Al-Imam As-Saddiq (A.S.) Library, Marawi City, Philippines: An Annotated Catalogue with Essay. Tokyo: Institute of Asian, African, and Middle Eastern Studies, Sophia UniversityContemporary socio-political issues have dominated studies on Islam in the Southern Philippines. The lack of primary sources has caused discussions about the history of Islamic culture in the region to be relatively rare. This manuscript catalog could be the key. It reveals the existence of 4,215 pages of manuscripts and 3,224 pages of printed books (kitāb) of the Al-Imam As-Sadiq Library in Marawi City. It proposes a new method for compiling a manuscript catalog so that readers who are not too familiar with Islamic studies and philology may also enjoy reading. Besides offering a description of manuscripts, it also presents a mapping of intellectual works written by ulamas in Mindanao and their connection with the Muslim-Malay communities in other regions. Hence, this book will support further studies on intellectual networks in the Muslim community in Southeast Asia in general and Mindanao in particular.

Abstract

Over the last few decades, socio-religious changes in the middle-class Muslim community have transformed individual conceptions of what it means to be a ‘modern’ Muslim. It can be practiced even in conventional ways; joining a Sufi order (tarekat) group. This way refutes the perception of some groups who stigmatize Sufism as a ‘people’s religion,’ a form of rural religious practice. This article depicts Indonesia and Pakistan’s urban middle-class Muslim trend to practice the Qadiriyah tarekat. Although using the classical Sufism method, the middle-class Muslim in both countries still practice Sufism in a modern trend. This tarekat can facilitate the middle-class Muslim community to achieve a degree of ‘unity with God’ by using the tools of modernity. Besides its role as a medium for psychological therapy in the modern era, the Qadiriyah tarekat also contributes to various government programs, especially in anticipating humanitarian conflicts, preventing radicalism, strengthening harmony between communities, and initiating women’s empowerment movements.

Abstract

In recent years, the rise of intolerant and transnational Islamist groups has challenged the nature of moderate Southeast Asian Muslims. Far away from the center of Islam in Mecca, Muslim communities in the area of Southeast Asia possess diverse traditions within –by encompassing different ethnic groups and languages –and could live together with other religions for centuries. Accordingly, Muslim communities contribute to the stability of this region amidst the acute social unrest in other Muslim worlds, especially in the Middle East and West Africa. Scholars depict the nature of moderate Southeast Asian Muslims as wasaṭīyah (middle path); some call smiling Islam, civil Islam, or flowery Islam. Indonesia, the largest Muslim nation, chose Pancasila as a national consensus –instead of an Islamic state –to accommodate religious plurality.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, from early 2020, compelled rigorous border restrictions among nations. Travel between countries became virtually impossible to curb the virus's rampant spread. All plans involving face-to-face human interactions had to be abandoned except for essential pandemic-related activities. Consequently, the scheduled leaders' visits from Indonesian Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) to Japan during this period had to be withdrawn as well.This annual event, initiated in 2004 through collaboration between the Center for the Study of Islam and Society (PPIM) at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University of Jakarta and the Government of Japan, aims primarily to enhance understanding and cultivate friendship between Japan and Indonesia, particularly among the Muslim community. Over nearly two decades, this program facilitated the participation of 157 leaders (kiai and nyai) from diverse regions in Indonesia, enabling them to observe contemporary developments in Japanese society while exchanging insights into the characteristics of Indonesia's Muslim community with the local people. Domestically, this initiative also desired to strengthen networks among pesantrens.
