Abstract

In the era of globalization, the complexity of social, economic, and environmental challenges has resulted in the decline of the role of traditional religious institutions, as well as the emergence of secularism and religious pluralism. This study aims to reveal the response of religion to the phenomena of secularization, conflict, and economic inequality in the 21st century with a qualitative approach through literature studies. The results of the study indicate that secularism has become a contemporary issue, with a decline in religious affiliation among the younger generation, especially in Europe; however, projections for 2050 show a resurgence of religious adherents and an important role for religion in society. In addition, increasing religious diversity creates challenges and tensions between communities, but many religions respond by building solidarity through dialogue and peace campaigns. Amidst the increasing economic gap, religions respond by reviewing relevant teachings and principles, such as the simplicity movement that combines spiritual values with ways of earning a living, ethical education in business, and playing an active role in anti-poverty campaigns and other social issues. This paper adds insight into the role of religion in building sustainable social solidarity and economic ethics amidst contemporary challenges.

Abstract

This article discusses how religious organizations use social media by focusing its analysis on Nahdlatul Ulama and its YouTube channel, NU Channel. Using a qualitative method, this study collected its required data through online observation of NU Channel. This article argues that the assumption that Nahdlatul Ulama is a religious organization that tends to be traditionalist and conservative towards technological developments is incorrect. Nahdlatul Ulama is willing to adopt the internet as a new medium for conveying its religious views. The findings show that Nahdlatul Ulama is adaptive to social media as seen its adoption of YouTube as a new medium of religious studies conducted online on NU Channel. All this show a digital transformation within Nahdlatul Ulama’ religious studies, which is traditionally identical with pesantren, direct learning method with kiai, and other conventional ways of education and learning.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the impact of digitalization on the religious practices of Muslims through the use of religious applications, such as Muslim Pro, and to explore the challenges related to spiritual depth and community engagement. This research uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques through online observation of users' interactions with the application. The research findings show that while religious applications facilitate access to information and worship, there is a tendency for a decline in spiritual quality and community engagement, particularly in terms of social interaction and direct religious guidance. Over-reliance on these applications can reduce a deeper understanding of religion and weaken participation in collective religious activities. This research contributes by offering solutions that integrate technology with religious social interactions, involving collaboration between app developers, religious institutions, and communities to maintain a balance between digital convenience and spiritual needs.

Abstract

This paper discusses a driving factor that contributes to the rising of radicalism on major campuses around Bandung. The research focuses on the Coordinating Board for Campus Da'wah Institutions (Badan Koordinasi Lembaga Dakwah Kampus-BKLDK), a sub-organization of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) campaigning Khilafah ideology around campuses in the Bandung area, West Java. The research deploys a qualitative method with data collection through participant observation ories in BKLDK activities, interviews with key informants, and document review. Referring to the circulation of Khilafah ideology carried out by  BKLDK, this study argues that the rising of a narrative on radicalism among campuses is due to the absence of differentiation in understanding and handling radicalism itself. Focusing on the role of BKLDK, considered a radical movement, this organization and on spreading ideas without violence, precisely succeeded in mainstreaming Khilafah discourse among students on campuses around Bandung through a strategy of distributing leaflets as reading material and public discussions. Meanwhile, a government and campuses strategy to counterbalance the discourse of radicalism tends to generalize between the radicalism of ideas and radicalism as a violent movement

Abstract

This paper will discuss online media sites implementing religious moderation campaigns in Indonesia. The case study in this paper is the online media Harakatuna.com. The research method is qualitative, collecting data through virtual ethnography or online observations of the Harakatuna.com media page and Harakatuna Media's Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook social media accounts. This research found that it is not appropriate if the religious moderation campaign has only been carried out through conventional methods such as seminars, recitations, and workshops. Therefore, Harakatuna.com is present as a campaign agent for religious moderation by taking a role in social media. Consequently, Harakatuna.com carries out counter-narrative radicalism by introducing peaceful religious moderation in Indonesia with digital methods such as webinars, scientific publications, and opinion writing. Furthermore, Harakatuna.com also carries out a counter-ideological role against the Khilafahism ideology that Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) echoes. Harakatuna.com carries out the counter-ideology through the Pancasila ideology campaign as the foundation of the nation and state by the values of religious teachings, including Islam. The roles carried out by Harakatuna.com are the actualization of the concept of a Cyber Islamic Environment, a new virtual world environment that can be used for the benefit of Muslims, one of which is the delivery of messages of religious moderation.

Abstract

Sociological studies on religion have predominantly focused on macro-sociological approaches, emphasizing structural-functional aspects or conflicts. Consequently, these studies often center on religious movements or organizations and their roles in religious life, neglecting the dynamics of social interaction in everyday religious practices. Such dynamics illustrate how individuals and groups actively shape their religious experiences. However, a different perspective has been offered by Christopher M. Donnelly and Bradley R.E. Wright, who examine religion using a micro-sociological approach, specifically symbolic interactionism. Their study focuses on the dynamics of interruptions during Christian worship services and how congregants respond to such disturbances to uphold the proper conduct of worship. These responses aim to maintain a “self-image” and safeguard the church's reputation, as conceptualized by Erving Goffman. This review aims to inspire similar explorations in other religious contexts.

Abstract

This research examines the religious behavior of the people of Sukaresmi Village, Rongga District, West Bandung Regency after the construction of PLTA Cisokan, West Java. The construction of the Cisokan hydropower plant actually has a negative impact in the form of the destruction of the moral values of the Islamic religion due to the introduction of a new culture into social life. In overcoming this, religion is the key to strengthening awareness of improving the character and morals of rural communities. This awareness was influenced by political and economic dynamics which later manifested itself in an effort to revive religious traditions such as Syahriahan and Manakiban. The success in overcoming the moral decay of society is also influenced by the role of young ulama with broad scientific insight and effective communication. Through field research, interviews and document studies, this research concludes that the homogeneous characteristics of rural communities, including adherence to religion, are factors that facilitate the process of solving problems, including issues of morality and religion.

Abstract

Kekerasan antar-agama merupakan tantangan serius yang memengaruhi stabilitas sosial dan perdamaian di seluruh dunia. Fenomena ini mencakup berbagai bentuk konflik, dari yang berskala kecil hingga besar dengan dampak merusak yang signifikan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memberikan wawasan mendalam tentang tren dan karakteristik penelitian terkait kekerasan antar-agama, khususnya dalam konteks politik identitas di Indonesia. Data dianalisis melalui pendekatan bibliometrik menggunakan artikel jurnal yang terindeks di Scopus. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa publikasi terkait kekerasan antar-agama mengalami fluktuasi tahunan, yang bisa mencerminkan perubahan dalam minat penelitian dan situasi global. Visualisasi bibliometrik juga membantu mengidentifikasi konsep-konsep kunci dan gap penelitian dalam studi ini. Temuan ini menyoroti pentingnya pemahaman tentang dampak media sosial, perubahan teknologi komunikasi, serta peran agama tertentu dalam dinamika kekerasan antar-agama. Selanjutnya, ditemukan bahwa beberapa kata kunci seperti “Islam,” “muslim world,” “Christian martyrs,” dan “terrorism” masih belum banyak diteliti, menunjukkan potensi untuk penelitian lebih lanjut dalam konteks kekerasan antar-agama. Hasil penelitian ini memberikan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang tren penelitian dan membuka pintu untuk upaya penelitian lanjutan dalam mengatasi kompleksitas dan dampak kekerasan antar-agama guna mempromosikan perdamaian dan harmoni.

Abstract

This research discusses the role of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in promoting peace in the digital era. In its background, digitization has fundamentally altered the paradigm of human communication and interaction. This study aims to analyze NU's practices in promoting peace and tolerance in the digital world and to identify the challenges and opportunities faced by NU in this regard. The research method used is a qualitative approach with online observation and content analysis of materials produced and disseminated by NU on social media and other digital platforms. The results show that NU actively advocates messages of peace and tolerance through direct activities and inclusive digital content production. NU also engages in interfaith dialogue and cross-religious cooperation in the digital world. Despite receiving positive responses from the public, NU also faces challenges and controversies, such as the emergence of misleading content on social media, the presence of controversial figures affiliated with NU, and the disagreement over the term “Islam Nusantara.” This research argues that NU plays a crucial role in introducing peace through the virtual world, with significant contributions to understanding the role of religion in the digital era and developing more effective strategies in leveraging digital technology for peace purposes.

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the religious movement of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) when adopting new media in its movement activities in Indonesia. The research in this paper uses a qualitative method with data collection through online observation of the HTI website, Media Umat www.mediaumat.id. This research found that HTI as a religious movement also adopted the internet in its movement activities just like other religious movements, namely NU and Muhammadiyah. HTI's use of the internet also refutes the argument that the internet is incompatible with religion, which is based more on secularization arguments. The internet in fact provides new opportunities that are positively welcomed by the religious community, which makes it part of its culture according to its needs and interests. This religious response can be seen in HTI's use of the internet which can be categorized into three forms: ideological, polemical and contextual. All these forms of internet use show the positive impact of the internet for religion and the ability of religion to become part of modernity for its interests and needs by adapting the internet as a product of modernity.
