Abstract

The conflict does not automatically lead to disintegration. Sociologist like Georg Simmel and Lewis Coser reinforce this assumption. Conflict can also function to strengthen social groups and restore social integration. Conflict and integration (harmony) like two sides of a coin, different but still one. This paper supports the assumption above. After the conflict between the community and Ahmadiyah’s followers in the three Regencies (Garut, Tasikmalaya and Kuningan), they live in harmony (integration). This fact in line with the argument of Georg Simmel and Lewis Coser. This study showed that the conflicts occurred in three regencies (Garut, Tasikmalaya and Kuningan), did not make the Ahmadiyah adherents disintegrated and crumbled. But on the contrary, Ahmadiyah followers increasingly integrated, solid and live co-exist with the non-Ahmadiyah community and live harmoniously.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the understanding of society, social interaction in building religious tolerance and the role of religious institutions in maintaining religious tolerance in the community of Sukabumi. This form of study is qualitative and based on fieldwork using three methods including phenomenological method, sociological method, and historical method. The results of this study found that: first, the understanding of the people of Sukabumi about tolerance reflects an attitude of respect and acceptance of religious diversity, culture, and views. They actively interact with diverse backgrounds, respect human rights, and encourage interfaith and cultural participation in community activities. This understanding creates an inclusive, harmonious, and peaceful coexistence environment, which makes Sukabumi an inspiring example in building a tolerant society. Social interaction between citizens of different religions and effective social communication have established a social contract that respects and respects religious rights. Sukabumi's achievement as the 6th tolerant city in Indonesia shows the commitment of the government and society in promoting the values of tolerance. Positive factors, such as government policies, inclusive education programs, and public awareness, contributed to this achievement. Through the iceberg models approach, researchers can understand how social interaction fosters harmony and awareness of religious diversity. Understanding and respect for religious diversity is the hallmark of Sukabumi that must be strengthened in order to be an example of harmony for a diverse Indonesia.

Abstract

Digital entrepreneurship has recently become a trend in cyberspace and it is often associated with the millennials who were previously said to be the least entrepreneurial generation. The millennials are digital natives who tend to follow a trend because of globalization which opens up unlimited public spaces. This article aims to examine the motives of the Indonesian millennial generation in doing digital entrepreneurship through qualitative research methods and Jean Baudrillard's post-modern theory approach. The required data were collected through interview and observation methods. This article argues that the main motive of Indonesian millennials in digital entrepreneurship is not profit-seeking, but rather prestige-seeking by following trends on social media so that digital entrepreneurship develops among millennials. The results of the study show that the tendency of being social media trend followers has encouraged Indonesian millennials to run digital entrepreneurship. The millennials tried to follow the trend of digital entrepreneurship to express their identities in the public sphere to create a good image of themselves. By doing so, they expected to be considered prestigious members of digital society with higher social status.

Abstract

This study aims to explain the implementation of the Keputusan Direktur Jenderal Bimbingan Masyarakat Islam (Kepdirjen Bimas Islam) Number 137 of 2023 regarding the establishment of Kampung Moderasi to prevent religious conflict polarization. The research examines several Kampung Moderasi cases in West Java, particularly in the cities of Bandung and Tasikmalaya, which have implemented this policy. Kampung Moderasi aims to create a harmonious and tolerant environment in society by promoting the values of religious moderation. Using a qualitative approach, this study employs interviews, direct observation, and document review methods. The findings show that Bandung, Kampung Moderasi in Cibadak, Babakan Ciparay, and Sukawarna have made significant initiatives in strengthening interfaith relations through interfaith dialogue, educational programs, and social activities. Meanwhile, in Tasikmalaya, Kampung Moderasi in Nagarawangi and Empangsari have also made similar efforts to strengthen social cohesion and prevent conflict by developing inclusive, religion-based communities. However, despite the positive outcomes of this policy's implementation, several challenges remain, such as limited resources and the lack of participation from some segments of society. This study concludes that Kepdirjen Bimas Islam Number 137 of 2023 is effective in preventing religious conflict polarization, but there needs to be greater support from local governments, religious institutions, and society to enhance participation and ensure the sustainability of the program. The future implementation of this policy requires strengthened cooperation among stakeholders and more intensive monitoring.

Abstract

Food and energy are a global concern today due to climate change. Some countries are concerned about maintaining the chain of availability of food and energy supplies for the community, especially with the depletion of food supplies and the need for renewable energy. This study aims to analyze the dependence on food and energy and the religious concept of preserving and maintaining the environmental ethics of the depletion of food supplies and fossil energy for Muslim countries. As a system, Islamic economics is expected to be an alternative solution in the sustainability of maintaining the food and energy supply chain ecosystem, starting from raw materials, processing, certification, distribution, and marketing. The method used is through literature review. The results obtained that Muslim countries can play a role in handling food and energy scarcity, including by breaking away from fossil energy dependence by implementing renewable energy, green and blue economy, increasing production capacity and expanding agricultural areas, and providing agricultural and energy technology transfer, diversifying water products, training, and education in the agricultural sector. Although there are regulations on environmental care, the fact that some countries still ignore environmental preservation and sustainability is evident from a large amount of deforestation, drought, flood disasters, deforestation, changes in forest functions, extinction of flora and fauna ecosystems, and global warming. This shows that the process of maintaining environmental ethics is still not optimal. Serious efforts are needed from various parts of the world towards climate change.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how exclusive and literalist interpretations of Qur’anic verses on warfare, such as QS. At-Taubah:5and QS. Al-Anfāl:12, have become one of the roots of religious radicalism and to offer a framework for reconstructing interpretation that is more ethical and contextual. The research employs a qualitative-critical approach through library research, using Fazlur Rahman’s double-movement hermeneutics, Michel Foucault’s analysis of power relations, and the framework of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ahas analytical tools. Data were collected from classical tafsirs (al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī), modern tafsirs (Tafsir al-Azhar, Tafsir al-Mishbāh), and contemporary academic literature. The findings reveal that literalist exegesis, when detached from its historical context and ethical purposes, legitimizes violence and fuels exclusivism, while contextual exegesis offers an inclusive framework that fosters dialogue, reconciliation, and social justice. This study also shows that exegesis is not ideologically neutral but often functions as an arena of power contestation, where interpretation can either reinforce domination or become a discourse of liberation against fundamentalism. The implications highlight the urgent need to integrate contextual hermeneutics into religious education curricula, strengthen exegetical literacy in public discourse, and promote interreligious dialogue as a means to counter radicalism. The originality of this research lies in its interdisciplinary integration of hermeneutics, power analysis, and socio-political context, which provides a comprehensive framework for reinterpreting Qur’anic war verses in a way that is faithful to the text yet responsive to contemporary plural realities.

Abstract

This article critically examines the concept of pluralism within the study of religion, addressing both its theoretical foundations and practical applications across various countries. Religious pluralism is understood as the recognition of religious diversity as a social and theological reality that must be approached with openness, dialogue, and mutual respect. Employing a qualitative approach through literature review, this study analyzes key works by Paul F. Knitter, Wilfred Cantwell Smith, and Alwi Shihab, while also presenting case studies from Indonesia, India, the United States, and Western Europe. The findings reveal that pluralism is not merely a moral ideal but also a necessary framework for promoting peaceful coexistence amid difference. Despite facing challenges such as fundamentalism, discrimination, and identity politics, pluralism remains relevant as a foundation for inclusive and transformative religious studies. The article recommends strengthening interfaith education, supporting diversity-oriented policies, and encouraging religious leaders to foster interreligious dialogue. Contribution:  The study offers actionable recommendations aimed at enhancing interfaith education, supporting policies that encourage diversity, and promoting interreligious dialogue, thereby enriching both academic discourse and practical efforts toward inclusive and transformative religious engagement.

Abstract

Indonesia's cultural and ethnic diversity holds great potential for social integration, but is also prone to conflict. In this context, religion plays a dual role: it can be both a trigger for tension and a bridge for peace. This study examines the role of religion as social capital in fostering harmony in a pluralistic society. The approach used was a qualitative literature study, analyzed thematically. The results indicate that religious social capital plays a crucial role in fostering peace in multicultural societies through three main elements: religious networks, social trust, and the integration of religious values with local culture, which fosters harmony. Concrete findings are demonstrated through studies of various communities such as peaceful Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), the Forum for Interfaith Harmony (FKUB), and the Gusdurian network, which implement inclusive education, open religious practices, and interfaith advocacy. These three elements form the foundation of social reconciliation based on spirituality and local wisdom, and demonstrate that religious organizations such as Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah can become agents of peace if they prioritize an inclusive and contextual approach. This study enriches social capital theory by integrating religious and local values, and offers a new direction in the development of inclusive Islamic education and interfaith dialogue relevant to societal realities.

Abstract

Bandung is a multicultural city with high religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity. However, this condition also gives rise to the potential for intolerance, which has received serious attention in recent years. In response, the Bandung City Government initiated the Tolerance Village to strengthen interfaith harmony and increase community multicultural awareness. By 2025, six villages had been inaugurated. This study aims to examine the role of the Tolerance Village in maintaining harmony, increasing multicultural awareness, and comparing similarities and differences between the six locations. The research method used was a qualitative descriptive, comparative case study. Data were collected through interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The results show that the Tolerance Village contributes positively to the creation of interfaith dialogue spaces, strengthening diversity-based social interactions, and multicultural education at the community level. However, budget limitations, resistance from some groups, and lack of program sustainability are obstacles that need to be overcome. This study concludes that Tolerance Village can serve as an innovative social model for building urban harmony. This program needs to be expanded to other areas by strengthening stakeholder collaboration to make Bandung more inclusive, tolerant, and sustainable.
