Abstract

As international human rights norms are increasingly ratified by many nation-states, including in the Muslim world. There has been an increasing debate among Muslims on the universality of human rights and their compatibility with Islam. Like any religious tradition, however, Islam is open to various and frequently conflicting interpretations about its inherent normative demands. This research is a normative legal research using a legal philosophy approach. Sources of data come from literature in the form of articles, books and all materials related to the discussion. This study concludes that there are various interpretations among Muslims regarding human rights issues. On the one hand, due to the fact that the modern discourse of human rights emerged from the West, which historically closely associated with imperialism and colonialism, certain Muslim groups maintain hostile views towards human rights. On the other, there are also Muslims who, because of their intensive engagement with the West, have produced views and thoughts that tend to be accommodating or even imitative towards everything from the West including human rights issues. The article argues that philosophically harmonization between Islam and human rights is quite possible to be carried out through the reconstruction of classical Islamic traditions, so that a dialectic occurs that builds and complements one another in the future.

Abstract

Scholars have offered different accounts in the debates over religion-state relations in the Muslim world. Central to their differing views are diverging premises on the degree to which religion-state relations in Muslim societies are dictated or determined by certain ‘essential’ cultural, religious or even civilizational characteristics. Another main root of conflicting analyses is different assumptions on the extent to which the discourse of religion-state relations should be confined to their distinctively secular-liberal character. While some discuss religion-state relations within strictly secular-liberal terms, others choose to go beyond these particular narratives. This paper revisits the debate on religion-state relations in the Muslim world in light of these two main roots of contention. The chapter begins with a critical examination of the cultural essentialist approach and its limited analytical value in the discussion on religion-state relations in the Muslim world. It then examines the dominant secular-liberal narratives of state-religion and their problematic projection within the context of Muslim societies. Finally, it offers an overview of the internal debate within the Muslim world over the issue of religion-state relations, focusing more specifically on the extent to which secular liberal discourses are contested or critically embraced. Keywords: Religion-state Relations, Secular-liberal Narratives, Muslim Societies

Abstract

This study aims to explore and examine the moral teachings of Raden Mas Panji Sosrokartono, an important figure in Javanese moral and spiritual tradition, and their resonance with the axiology of Islamic education. More specifically, the study examines Sosrokartono's moral teachings as reflected in his symbolic names (sinandi) such as "Sang Alif," "Mandor Kloengsoe," and "Djoko Pring," which contain deep spiritual and social values. It also looks at his wider moral teachings as contained in his Ilmu Catur Murti and Ilmu Kantong Bolong that emphasize harmony, sincerity, simplicity, and selfless devotion. This study is a library research with a historical-critical-philosophical approach. The study found that the Sosrokartono’s moral teachings strongly resonate with the axiology of Islamic education in relation to the values of faith (aqidah), worship (ibadah), morality (akhlaq), and nationalism. The study argues that Sosrokartono’s locally rooted moral teachings are highly compatible with the axiological aims of Islamic education to form individuals who are pious, have noble character, and love for their nation. Sosrokartono's holistic moral teachings, combining intellectuality, morality, spirituality, and harmonization with divine, humanistic, and cultural values, are thus very relevant to the development of Muslim personalities and national values.

Abstract

The question of how democratic states navigate religious aspirations remains central in Muslim-majority societies. In Indonesia, this relationship has followed a nonlinear trajectory shaped by political alliances, institutional asymmetries, and ideological transformations. This article explores how successive governments—from Habibie to Joko Widodo—have managed the complex intersection of Islam, democracy, and pluralism. Using a qualitative comparative approach, it identifies shifts in state strategies toward Islamic political expression, ranging from symbolic inclusion to legal restriction and bureaucratic regulation. The concept of contested accommodation is proposed to explain how Islamic norms have been selectively engaged, redirected, or constrained through evolving institutional mechanisms. While some administrations prioritized inclusive pluralism, others aligned with conservative religious agendas. Populist religiosity, transnational influences, and media amplification further shaped the policy landscape. The findings suggest that Islamic political expression in Indonesia is neither fully absorbed nor rejected, but continually renegotiated. Pluralism, in this context, is sustained not through ideological consensus but through ongoing recalibration within democratic institutions.
