Abstract

This study fundamentally aims to comprehend the construction of religious life in the community, dissect the process of socialization or the introduction of religion within the community, and analyze the internalization of religious life from the perspective of Peter L. Berger. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-holistic method. Data are gathered through documentation and the study of texts authored by Hasan Mustapa. The data analysis method employed is literary analysis, particularly focusing on Hasan Mustapa’s work, “Sasaka Dika Islaman,” using procedures that encompass thematic identification, inclusion and exclusion criteria, structuralization, interpretation, and integration. The findings of this study reveal that: (1) The construction of religious life in the Sundanese community, as depicted in “Sasaka Dika Islaman,” reflects a reflective model of the development of individual and communal life; (2) The process of socializing religious teachings and values produces two patterns of religious behavior in individuals within the community, namely critical and apathetic religious behaviors, each with its own consequences; (3) The process of internalizing religious life gives rise to a duplicative consciousness, encompassing a social self and a non-social self, resulting in alienation. This study contributes to the academic knowledge and discourse in the fields of Religious Studies and Sociology of Religion. The analysis of Peter L. Berger’s social construct offers a fresh perspective in comprehending the religious behaviors of individuals and communities, particularly within the Sundanese community as elucidated in Hasan Mustapa’s work, “Sasaka Dika Islaman.”

Abstract

Confucianism is a school of thought that was born in China in the sixth century BC, founded by Confucius. This teaching emphasizes moral virtue, social relationships, and the connection between man and Heaven. The aim of this article is to explore the evolution of Confucianism from its early teachings to its more complex form of Neo-Confucianism, as well as its relevance in the modern context in China and East Asia. The methods used in this article involve a historical and philosophical approach through textual analysis of the teachings of Dao and Confucius, including the works of Zhu Xi, as well as a comparative study of its influence on culture, society, and politics in East Asia. The results of the analysis show that although Confucianism suffered a decline during the period of division after the fall of the Han Dynasty, its rise through Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty era not only integrated metaphysical and spiritual elements but also strengthened education and self-development as the foundation of morality. In addition, the article reveals how Daoism and Confucianism have successfully adapted to modern challenges, such as interaction with Western thought and far-reaching social changes so that it remains relevant in shaping contemporary culture and ethics in East Asia.

Abstract

The tradition of Khataman Al-Qur'an in Indonesia reflects the rich diversity of religious practices within Muslim communities. Each region showcases unique rituals influenced by local traditions and contextual religious interpretations. This study aims to explore the variety of Khataman Al-Qur'an traditions across Indonesia and analyze them through the lens of the Living Religions concept introduced by Mary Pat Fisher and Robin Rinehart. This approach views religion as a dynamic, contextual practice embedded in the daily lives of its adherents. A qualitative method was employed, utilizing data collection techniques such as literature reviews, observations, and interviews. The findings reveal that Khataman Al-Qur'an traditions serve not only as expressions of religiosity but also as a medium to strengthen social solidarity, preserve local culture, and instill spiritual values. Variations in practices, such as mujahadah, thanksgiving rituals (syukuran), or communal feasts (selametan), illustrate the adaptation of Islam within the cultural contexts of the Indonesian archipelago. This study enhances understanding of the interplay between religion and culture while offering fresh perspectives on the diversity of Islamic traditions in Indonesia.

Abstract

Da'wah serves as a crucial medium for disseminating and acquiring religious knowledge within the community. Effective da'wah requires preachers to adopt appropriate communication strategies that align with the linguistic and cognitive abilities of the audience, ensuring successful message reception and implementation. Sundanese is one of the languages commonly used by preachers in certain regions, particularly in social and religious interactions. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection methods. The research focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of delivering da'wah in Sundanese within the Wanaraja Garut area. The findings indicate that preaching in Sundanese proves to be highly effective among the Sundanese community. It not only facilitates better understanding but also reinforces cultural identity, preserving traditional values that are gradually fading. The use of Sundanese in da'wah contributes to reviving traditional etiquette, such as respectful speech towards elders and politeness in social interactions. This study highlights the significance of language as a cultural and religious tool in sustaining both Islamic teachings and Sundanese traditions.

Abstract

This article explores the dialogue between the philosophy of religion and science, focusing on the dialectics of faith and reason while questioning whether the two are inherently opposed or can be harmonized within a broader framework. Through a qualitative approach grounded in literature review, the study identifies historical harmony and contemporary challenges in integrating faith and reason, highlighting how religious philosophy—from Ancient Greece to Islamic thought—demonstrates their potential complementarity in understanding broader truths. In the modern era, this relationship gains heightened relevance in addressing ethical dilemmas posed by technological and scientific advancements, where religion serves as a moral compass to maintain balance. By incorporating the sociological perspective of religion, the article also examines how religion shapes social structures, norms, and policies, ultimately offering strategic insights into fostering interdisciplinary dialogue that unites intellectual, spiritual, and social traditions in contemporary society. Contribution: This article contributes to the philosophy of religion-science discourse by reframing faith and reason as complementary forces rather than antagonistic opposites. It synthesizes historical, ethical, and sociological perspectives to propose interdisciplinary dialogue as a pathway to addressing modern challenges.
