Abstract

This article identifies haul, an annual commemoration of the death of charismatic figures, in Indonesia as political. The politicization of haul has been accompanied by a proliferation of narratives promoting the history of Hadhrami diaspora while strengthening the relationship between local Hadhramis and the local statesmen. This qualitative research examines the use of haul in Pontianak to commemorate selected syarif aristocrats. Pontianak, founded in the mid-eighteenth century by a syarif statesman, has a long-standing Hadhrami memory. Data for this study were collected through literature review, interviews, observation, and archival research related to Kadriah Sultanate’s haul events. The findings suggest that haul reshapes memories of the Kadriah Sultanate and Hadhrami identity for pragmatic purposes in local politics. By examining this case study of a commemorative religious event in the non-Arab world, it is shown that the local Arab sultanate redefines Hadhrami ethnic identity as nationalist, locally rooted, and heroic. Public haul festivals thus become effective tools for syarif politicians to exert influence in the religious and political spheres.

Abstract

The focus of this article is pesantren and world peace, which discusses the functional role of pesantren in creating moderate santri. This article is reflective, and the result of a literature study carried out by the authors. Based on the results of the author's study, the future of peace for the nation and the world depends on our perspective and abilities, including santri as part of the world community, especially in building mutual commitments in the context of religion, nation, and part of the world community that is moderate in its religious diversity. Based on data from the Indonesian Ministry of Religion, there will be at least 39,043 pesantren in 2022/2023, with a total number of santri of 4.08 million, which certainly has great potential. However, to make pesantren a basis for religious moderation, their durability can be tested, especially in the context of their functional role in world peace. Pesantren’s resilience can be tested from the achievement of its functional prerequisites, both in terms of adaptation, goal attainment, integration, and latency, which should be in line with the needs of creating moderate santri who pioneer peace. However, it is not impossible to become dysfunctional, if it is on the contrary when pesantren is closer to religious radicalism. In addition, one of the biggest challenges is how pesantren can produce moderate santri in this fast-paced digital era, where the influence of cyberspace is often more dominant than conventional learning.
One Bloodline, Multiple Religiosities: Malay-speaking Hadramis on Being ‘Moderate-most’ Muslims in Contemporary Indonesia Taufik, Egi Tanadi; Kurniawan, Syamsul; Suprianto, Bibi; Fitriyani, Feny Nida; Miftah, Muhammad

Abstract

Internal contestation within Muslim communities over who embodies the ideal of moderation is often problematic, including among the descendants of the 18th-century Hadrami Arab diaspora in the Archipelago. Through qualitative research focusing on the Hadrami community dynamics in Pontianak, this article reveals divisions and internal conflicts within the community, leading to a contest over who could claim to be the most moderate. The study situates the exceptionalism of Hadrami elites in Pontianak within a "religious field," following Bourdieu’s framework, and draws on Rijal’s (2024) concept of viewing “Ḥabā’ib as symbolic capital” in religious competence, which is reinforced by their exclusive lineage, symbols, and rituals. This pursuit of Hadrami exceptionalism in moderation, in turn, gave rise to a sense of moral obligation referred to as "the Hadrami man’s burden." While theological and philosophical debates surrounding religious moderation persist, various perspectives at the vernacular level converge on the idea that being a moderate Muslim represents the virtuous ideal, forming the core of the ideological system through which some elites assert and cultivate their influence and power.

Abstract

Abstract The discourse of prophetic interpretations of the Qur’ān, also known as "tafsīr al-nabawī" or "hadith bayān Al-Quran," has long been developed by scholars of the Qur’ān. It is based on the premise that the Prophet’s interpretation is the most authoritative source of Qur’ānic exegesis. The phenomenal work of Khālid al-Bātilī, at-Tafsīr al-Nabawiyy which offers an explicit-textual interpretation (tafsīr al-Qur’ān al-lafzhī al-ṣarih) of the Prophet’s explanations, introduces a new epistemology to the discourse. He divided prophetic interpretations of the Qur'ān into five types based on their function and purpose, namely tafsīr al-mufradāt, ta'yīn al-mubham, takhṣiṣ al-‘amm, taqyīd al-muṭlaq and bayān al-mujmal. Tafsīr al-mufradāt is defined as Prophetic interpretations that involve Prophet's reciting of a verse along with its explanations. These classifications are known as al-Bātilī’s recent contributions to uṣūl at-tafsīr. His exegetical reasoning is classified as bayānī while positioning the triadic role of reason-context-text in a structural paradigm. Al-Bātilī's concern about giving no social criticism in his Al-Tafsīr al-Nabawiyy indicates two facets; on one hand, his documentation of the Prophet’s explicit-textual interpretation acts as the “sacred”, final, and authoritative source of Islamic Sharia and law, while on the other hand, over his 1000 pages of Qur’ān exegesis is bound to the seventh century Arabic sociocultural context without any chance of contextualization or re-interpretation upon Qur’ānic verses Abtrak Wacana tentang interpretasi profetik atas Al-Qur'an, atau yang dikenal sebagai "tafsir nabawi" atau "hadis penjelas Al-Qur’an," telah lama dikembangkan para ulama Al-Quran. Asumsi dasar dari wacana tersebut yakni bahwa tafsir profetik adalah produk tafsir yang paling otoritatif, baik penafsiran eksplisit Nabi atas ayat Al-Qur’an (tafsīr al-Qur’ān al-lafzhī al-ṣarih) maupun tafsiran-tafsiran yang bersifat implisit dan relatif. Karya fenomenal Khālid al-Bātilī, al-Tafsīr al-Nabawiyy, yang menawarkan interpretasi teks eksplisit dari penjelasan Nabi, memperkenalkan paradigma baru bagi wacana tersebut. al-Bātilī membagi interpretasi profetik tentang Al-Qur'an menjadi lima tipe berdasarkan fungsi dan tujuannya, yaitu tafsīr al-mufradāt, ta'yīn al-mubham, takhṣiṣ al-‘amm, taqyīd al-muṭlaq, dan bayān al-mujmal. Tafsīr al-mufradāt dapat diterjemahkan sebagai produk tafsir profetik yang melibatkan catatan riwayat Nabi membacakan suatu ayat Al-Qur'an dan menafsirkannya. Klasifikasi tafsīr al-mufradat al-lafẓī al-ṣāriḥ adalah tawaran epistemologi baru al-Bātilī dalam studi uṣūl at-tafsīr. Logika interpretasi al-Bātilī diklasifikasikan sebagai nalar bayānī sambil menempatkan peran triadis logika-konteks-teks dalam paradigma struktural. Keputusannya untuk tidak mencantumkan konteks sosial di al-Tafsīr al-Nabawiyy menunjukkan dua aspek; dokumentasi Al-Bātilī terhadap tafsiran Nabi Muhammad secara eksplisit-tekstual, di satu sisi, berfungsi untuk menyediakan sumber syariat dan hukum Islam yang "sakral", mutlak, dan otoritatif, sementara di sisi lain, lebih dari 1000 halaman tafsirnya terikat pada konteks masyarakat Arab abad ketujuh tanpa peluang untuk kontekstualisasi dan interpretasi ulang terhadap Al-Qur’an.

Abstract

This study employs social network analysis to examine the use of hashtags associated with oppositional dialectics in the discourse on religious moderation (moderasi beragama) on Twitter/X. Resistance to and rejection of the state-sponsored moderation discourse have emerged in digital spheres, generating a meta-narrative that amplifies marginalized and dissenting voices. Existing studies on moderasi beragama predominantly focus on ontological frameworks, policy implementation, and high-level state narratives. However, limited attention has been given to how the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA) and other state institutions engage in grassroots conversations, where the discourse is actively contested. This article explores how networked citizens engage with the discourse, forming social networks that either support or critique the state's position. Data were collected and analyzed in three phases in October 2022 using the Netlytic program, focusing on five hashtag cases. The dataset comprises 8,626 uploaders and 15,656 tweets. The findings reveal that the state has largely failed to engage in virtual conversations on moderasi beragama. X has arguably become a digital mausoleum of intellectual discourse, yet while the state-defined concept of moderation is familiar to some, its socialization efforts on social media remain significantly weaker than its high-level consortiums and offline initiatives. The study underscores the urgent need for digitally literate ambassadors of moderasi beragama to counteract narratives of resentment and mitigate the proliferation of conspiratorial theories surrounding the discourse.

Abstract

This study draws the relationship between the European colonial legal administration and the discourse of Islamic law in Indonesia by focusing on specific historical contexts from the Dutch East Indies to modern-day Indonesia. Particularly, it tries to understand how colonial behavior of anti-miscegenation relates to the modern customary law of endogamy among Indonesian Bā ‘Alawi under kafā‘a doctrine. This study applies qualitative methods to highlight the legal history of Muslim endogamy focused on the Hadhrami-origin ‘Alawiyyīn in Indonesia. The initial section discusses the institution of marriage law in Islamic classical sources and the narrative of particular ethnical-national supremacy. It argues that the colonial regime passed the legislation of anti-miscegenation laws to support endogamic marriage, intensify inter-racial tensions among indigenous people, and dehumanize mixed-blooded children. That legislative enactment is based on certain colonial legal mechanisms passed to maintain order between different ethnicities and races which were then readopted among Hadhrami Muslims to popularize kafā‘a doctrine. Hence the constructed idea of “pernikahan sekufu” or kufū’-based marriage was later associated with the intra-ethnical marriage, especially among the sharīf/sharīfa which withheld the claim of their superior lineage as descendants of the Prophet.

Abstract

This research analyses the development of living Qur'an studies between 2005 and 2025 using the keywords “Living Qur’an”, “Living Al-Qur’an”, "Living Al-Quran", and “Living Al-Quran,” with two keywords containing no apostrophe. Data scraping and analysis rely on a bibliometric approach by analyzing utilizing tools such as R, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel to see the development of living Qur'an studies from the category of publications per year, average article citations, most publication sources, local impact of publication sources, most productive authors, most affiliated sources, and most cited documents globally in the database. The steps taken to categorize the data are as follows: determining keywords, searching for data, selecting articles, checking the validity of the data, and finally, analysis. The results showed that, since the emergence of the Living Qur'an from 2005 to 2025, the trend increased significantly from 2016 to 2022, peaking in 2022 with 99 articles. However, despite the increase in quantity, the academic impact of these articles is limited, as reflected in the journal's h-index. This finding also suggests that a university’s collective interest and productivity in the Living Qur'an discourse is not related to the presence of the discourse specialists in the given university.

Abstract

This qualitative research examined the challenges of the character education for Malay-speaking Muslim children in Sambas Regency, Indonesia, a post-conflict region marked by inter-ethnic tensions. Based on observation, interviews, and literature review, the discussion explored the impact of prolonged ethnic conflict on the education system, character building, and transitional peacemaking. Schools in Sambas faced significant challenges in integrating peace and multicultural education into teaching practices. The discussion illustrated how institutional character education fosters multiculturalism and peace by addressing the residual effects of conflict while aligning with government regulations and local wisdom. It argued that while character education is a long-term effort, it held promise for fostering sustainable positive peace and inter-ethnic harmony. The insights from Sambas offered a framework for character education in similar conflict-affected regions, emphasize the importance of peace and multicultural values in education.
