Abstract

As social creatures, humans naturally cannot live without the help of others. Based on those dynamically social interactions, religious organizations --a form of a social group based on equality in both activities and professions-- are formed. At the end of the 19th century, the birth of several Islamic organizations was the answer to the Dutch colonialism situation, including the Mathla'ul Anwar. The existence of Mathla'ul Anwar in Central Java Province is still not well known generally, even though it has been established since 1916. This paper would like to raise an issue qualitatively related to tracing the existence and its service to the community in Central Java. Regional management informed some areas that could be traced for the presence of the organization: Salatiga City, Brebes, Banjarnegara, Purbalingga, and Temanggung Regency. The results obtained in this study are, historically, Mathla'ul Anwar was a reorganization of existing management and new management. The community services are mostly in education, where several established foundations were then joining the organization, becoming the power of movement (da'wa) as much support from professionals. The obstacles that existed in running the organization are the limited funding sources and the lack of sustainability and equal guidance for the administrators.

Abstract

Traditional art is an irreplaceable heritage because it contains various noble values, identity markers, and means of connecting with the divine. However, maintaining this heritage is not easy so that it tends to be abandoned by its heirs. This study traces the reasons for maintaining traditional folk art in society by taking the case of Ebeg performing arts in Purbalingga Regency. This study analyzes the social interaction behind the preservation of Ebeg art using the theory of symbolic interactionism which looks at the meaning of symbols given by society to the art to influence its preservation. Data collection was carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and document reviews, which were then analyzed hermeneutically. The results of the study revealed that Ebeg performing arts actually contain noble values aligned with religious education, such as faith, brotherhood, moderation, and patriotism. The inheritance of Ebeg art on the one hand has been supported by The Purbalingga Regency Government in the form of funding and various preservation initiatives. On the other hand, the inheritance of this art is hampered by the perception of illegality, assumptions of negative influences, lack of financial support from the public, poor public understanding, lack of human resources and infrastructure, as well as a decline in art lovers. The results of this study imply that traditional arts require more than government alone. More than that, the community that supports them must be aware of the importance of preserving cultural heritage. One effort to increase awareness is by the harmony between traditional arts and the noble values of religion, and this emphasizes the novelty of the article.

Abstract

The emphasis on customary law within the Aceh Singkil community, alongside the application of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) in religious practices, raises important questions regarding the formation of legal realities in practice. This article explores the social considerations underlying legal practices, focusing on the role of ethnic identity within the Aceh Singkil community. The study employs a qualitative methodology to achieve this objective, utilizing in-depth interviews and document analysis as data collection techniques. The data are analyzed through a structural-functional sociological approach, conceptualizing legal practice as a social phenomenon. The findings reveal that ethnic-based collective consciousness significantly influences the community’s tendency to prioritize customary law over formal fiqh rulings when determining kafāʾah (equality) criteria in marriage. This emphasis is evident in applying economic and occupational standards, the prohibition of intra-clan marriage, and the disregard for the religious status of a partner’s parents. These standards are shaped by concerns for individual rights, the preservation of ancestral heritage, and the promotion of social harmony as part of a broader nation-building initiative. Nevertheless, the Aceh Singkil community continues to uphold fiqh norms, particularly the requirement that both spouses share the same religion, demonstrating that Islamic law remains an integral part of the collective consciousness, operating alongside customary norms. These findings affirm that the implementation of law within ethnic communities is grounded in a collective consciousness—shaped by both religious and customary elements—which serves as a foundation for constructing and sustaining social solidarity. [Penekanan terhadap hukum adat dalam komunitas Aceh Singkil, yang juga menerapkan norma fikih dalam praktik keagamaannya, menimbulkan persoalan terkait pembentukan realitas hukum yang berlaku. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap berbagai pertimbangan sosial dalam praktik hukum, dengan menitikberatkan pada peran identitas etnis dalam komunitas Aceh Singkil. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, artikel ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam dan dokumentasi. Data dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi struktural-fungsional yang memandang penerapan hukum sebagai suatu fenomena sosial. Hasil temuan menunjukkan bahwa kesadaran kolektif berbasis etnis memengaruhi kecenderungan untuk lebih mengutamakan hukum adat dibandingkan dengan ketentuan fikih dalam menetapkan kriteria kesetaraan (kafāʾah) dalam pernikahan. Penekanan ini tercermin dalam penetapan standar kesetaraan berbasis ekonomi dan pekerjaan, larangan pernikahan dalam satu marga, serta pengabaian status agama orang tua pasangan. Penentuan standar tersebut mempertimbangkan perlindungan hak individu, pelestarian warisan leluhur, dan pembentukan harmoni sebagai bagian dari proyek kebangsaan. Meskipun demikian, komunitas Aceh Singkil tetap mempertahankan norma fikih, khususnya persyaratan seagama bagi pasangan, yang menunjukkan bahwa hukum Islam merupakan bagian integral dari kesadaran kolektif yang berjalan sejajar dengan hukum adat. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa penerapan hukum dalam masyarakat etnis bertumpu pada kesadaran kolektif, baik yang dibentuk oleh agama maupun adat, sebagai fondasi dalam membangun dan mempertahankan solidaritas sosial.]
