The data collection techniques in this article are primary data and secondary data. Preliminary data includes field observations, interviews, and documentation. Meanwhile, secondary data includes books, scientific articles, and popular articles still relevant to this research.

The findings in this article are the perceptions of the Muslim community, which has been known above. The views of the Muslim community in France and Belgium towards religious secularism in terms of the prohibition of wearing the Niqab and Burqa vary greatly.

Abstract

This writing is to find out the creeds have developed in Sundanese society and the dialectical implications of Islam and local culture of this Mantra Creed in Sundanese social and religious life. Meanwhile, the method used is a type of qualitative research or qualitative method of inquiry, namely an in-depth study using data collection techniques directly from people in their natural environment. According to Bogdan and Taylor, qualitative methods are research procedures that produce descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words from people and observable behavior. The results of the research found several things, including: First, the shahada in Sundanese society has a broader scope than just aspects of Islam, involving various types of shahada in Sundanese with the aim of incantations for supernatural powers or fulfilling immediate needs, showing circumvention of Islamic law but recognizing Islam as a spiritual teaching. Second, Sundanese people's understanding of the Mantra Creed varies, revealed through analysis of the texts of the Sundanese creed, the Sri Sedana pantun, and the Sundanese version of Martabat Tujuh. Although many people know the text of the Sundanese shahada, only a few understand it in depth. The belief that Sundanese people were already Muslim before the arrival of Islam is confirmed through Pantun Sri Sedana, reflecting acculturation between Sundanese and Islamic teachings. Third, the dialectical implications of Islam and local culture from the shahadah mantra in Sundanese social and religious life include three aspects of Islamic teachings and Sundanese belief system.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the digital strategies employed by Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, two of Indonesia's largest moderate Islamic organisations, in countering radicalism on social media. The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies in reaching and influencing the younger generation, particularly in the context of growing radical content online. Methodology: A qualitative approach was utilised, involving direct observation of social media content, in-depth interviews with key figures from NU and Muhammadiyah, and a review of relevant literature. The study also included interviews with Generation Z students to gauge their responses to the digital strategies of these organisations. Findings: The study found that NU's innovative approach, particularly through creative social media campaigns like "Merah Putih vs. Radikalisme" on YouTube, has been more effective in capturing broad public attention and reinforcing moderate Islamic narratives. In contrast, Muhammadiyah's more relaxed approach, while meaningful, has not achieved the same level of impact among younger audiences. However, Muhammadiyah's digital applications like SalamMu and Edumu contribute significantly to promoting moderate Islam and countering radical influences. Research Implications: The findings underscore the importance of continuous innovation in digital strategies for religious organisations to maintain relevance and effectiveness in combating radicalism. The study suggests that both NU and Muhammadiyah need to refine their approaches further to better engage with the younger generation, who are more susceptible to radical ideologies online. Originality/Value: This research contributes to the understanding of the intersection between religion and digital technology in a predominantly Muslim society. It provides unique insights into how moderate Islamic organisations can leverage social media to counter radicalism and foster a culture of tolerance and inclusivity in the digital age. The study also highlights the potential and limitations of current strategies, offering a foundation for future research and policy development in digital counter-radicalism efforts.

Abstract

This research started from the differences in the people's views in Sagaranten District, Sukabumi Regency related to female clerics. It stems from the idea that it is appropriate for the ulama to be addressed to men with religious knowledge because the ulama are heirs to the prophets while the prophets are men. In addition, women are a place for slander so they have strict limits when working in society. The author uses descriptive qualitative methods with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the people of Sagaranten District, Sukabumi Regency have both traditional and modern patterns of thought. The conventional view sees that a woman who has religious knowledge cannot carry out religious activities in a community with a mixed congregation of men and women. It is based on women being slander so that a woman's voice is considered aurat (which must be hidden). Second, the modern view views that women who have religious knowledge can be involved in society. There are no restrictions as long as they are able and have the opportunity.

The presence of religious moderation is a mediator between diversity, where followers of religions can take a middle way amidst the diversity of interpretations of tolerance but still adhere to the essence of their religious teachings.
