Abstract

This ethnographic study examines how Islamic law is contextually reinterpreted within multicultural rural Muslim communities in Indonesia through negotiations between dominant Shāfiʿī doctrines, local customs, and plural legal reasoning. Focusing on Nganget Hamlet, East Java, the study addresses a gap in contemporary madhhab studies by exploring how everyday Muslim communities selectively appropriate cross-madhhab principles beyond formal juristic institutions. Using participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, the findings reveal three interrelated dynamics. First, inheritance disputes are commonly resolved through musyawarah-mufakat (deliberative consensus), reflecting a shift from rigid farāʾiḍ (Islamic inheritance rules) formulations toward maṣlaḥah (public benefit)-oriented reasoning that draws upon juristic flexibility recognized across Sunni madhhab traditions. Second, local rituals such as sedekah bumi (earth thanksgiving ritual) and ruwatan desa (village purification ritual) are legitimized as ʿurf ṣaḥīḥ (valid customary practice) through maqāṣid al-sharīʿa (objectives of Islamic law) considerations, demonstrating how customary practices are accommodated within Islamic legal interpretation. Third, informal Islamic education functions as a space for transmitting pluralistic legal understandings in which multiple madhhab perspectives are pragmatically negotiated in everyday life. The study argues that Islamic law in rural multicultural contexts operates as a dynamic form of localized ijtihad (independent legal reasoning) that continuously negotiates between normative Shāfiʿī authority and socio-cultural realities.  This research contributes to debates on legal pluralism and comparative madhhab studies by positioning Fiqh Nusantara as an applied model of cross-madhhab adaptability grounded in maqāṣid (higher objectives of Islamic law), ʿurf (customary practice), and lived Islamic legal practice in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

Curriculum integration between Islamic Boarding Schools and Islamic Universities is an important issue in the context of Islamic education in Indonesia, the diversity of Indonesian culture requires a more inclusive and adaptive educational approach as an anticipation of the risk of losing students' social competence and as a solution to improving the character of religious and cultural values ​​as an effort to enhance the success of educational quality. This study aims to explore the dynamics of collaboration between Islamic boarding schools and universities in carrying out the process and the positive implications of integrating an educational curriculum that teaches religious knowledge, worldly skills, and multicultural values. Using a qualitative approach, data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis related to both institutions' curricula and learning activities. The study results show that the formal and non-formal collaboration process between universities and Islamic boarding schools has succeeded in producing a curriculum that combines Islamic values, general skills, and cross-cultural knowledge, facilitating the exchange of experiences that enrich students' perspectives. The impact of this integration includes increasing attitudes of tolerance, respect for diversity, and deeper understanding; the quality of social interactions between both becomes more harmonious and open to differences. These findings highlight the importance of teaching multiculturalism in Islamic education, which is theoretical and applied in everyday life. The novelty of this study lies in the ability of Islamic educational institutions to integrate multicultural values ​​relevant to the pluralistic Indonesian context and contribute to the development of more adaptive and moderate student characters. This study recommends developing cross-institutional programs to strengthen curriculum integration and increase social impact.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the transformation of Sufi values contained in Kitab al-Ḥikam al-‘Aṭā’iyyah by Ibn ‘Aṭā’illah al-Sakandari as a spiritual foundation for fostering harmony within the multicultural society of Singkawang City. This research is motivated by the social reality of Singkawang, a city marked by ethnic, cultural, and religious pluralism, which necessitates a strong moral and spiritual basis to reinforce social cohesion. This study employs a qualitative approach within a socio-cultural framework. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed through data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. Kitab al-Ḥikam al-‘Aṭā’iyyah by Ibn ‘Aṭā’illah al-Iskandarī is a seminal work in Islamic mysticism that guides humans toward closeness to God while shaping noble social ethics. Values such as sincerity (ikhlāṣ), humility (tawāḍu‘), patience (ṣabr), asceticism (zuhd), and love (maḥabbah) serve as moral compasses that are highly relevant in a multicultural society like Singkawang. These teachings foster spiritual awareness that nurtures tolerance, strengthens social solidarity, and instills virtuous character in education. Al-Hikam thus becomes a source of transformative values that cultivate harmony, peace, and appreciation for diversity.

Abstract

This study critically reinterprets Surah Yasin beyond its dominant ritualistic framing by developing an interdisciplinary model of Qur’anic cosmology that integrates Qur’anic exegesis, Islamic astronomy, and environmental science. Existing scholarship on the Qur’an and science remains largely fragmentary, relying on verse-based analyses that overlook the structural coherence of a single surah as a unified system of meaning. Addressing this gap, the study employs a qualitative library-based approach using thematic tafsir combined with interdisciplinary analysis of celestial and environmental phenomena. The findings demonstrate that Surah Yasin presents a systemic representation of the cosmos, encompassing celestial motion, orbital dynamics (falak), temporal cycles, and ecological processes as interconnected components within a coherent framework. This integrated structure reflects patterned regularities that align conceptually with contemporary scientific perspectives without reducing the Qur’anic text to scientific claims. The study concludes that Surah Yasin can be conceptualized as a model of Qur’anic cosmology that functions as an epistemological framework for understanding the relationship between revelation and the natural world. This research contributes to advancing interdisciplinary discourse on Islam and science by shifting the analytical focus from fragmented verse-based interpretation toward a surah-based systemic paradigm.
