Abstract

Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the largest socio-religious organization in Indonesia, has a significant task in conveying Islamic teachings. The distinctive Islamic teachings brought by NU have four basic sublimations: tawasut, tawazun, tasamuh, and ta'adul. The value of tawasut (moderation) brought by NU as a way of thinking is urgent in society, both related to religion, social, politics, and even the domestic sphere. With this value of moderation, NU's presence can provide a legal umbrella for the values of Islamic teachings that have been misinterpreted by some groups, such as radicals who misunderstand the verses of jihad with inhumane offensive actions reinterpreted into a methodological argument for self-defense by applying the meaning of tolerance. This study found that NU's idea of moderation (tawasut) is reflected in three main areas: interfaith relations, gender relations, and contemporary legal ijtihad. NU emphasizes the importance of tolerance based on respect for existence, not theological truth, in the interreligious realm. In gender relations, NU rejects patriarchal domination and offers a reconstruction of women's jurisprudence based on maqasid al-sharia and hermeneutics. In modern legal istinbat, NU relies on scientific approaches such as tahqiqul manath, assessing legal validity based on the current illat and benefits, as in the case of the halal status of four types of crab, previously considered questionable.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Islamic-based mediation in strengthening family resilience within Muslim communities, particularly in conflicts between daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law. Such conflicts represent a significant social issue that not only affects household harmony but also influences broader community stability. This research aims to analyze mediation practices and formulate a community-oriented mediation model grounded in Islamic family law principles. Using a qualitative multi-site case study approach, the research involved eight Muslim families experiencing in-law conflicts, as well as mediators including religious leaders and institutional actors. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that conflicts are primarily triggered by parental interference, differences in values and parenting practices, and economic tensions. Effective mediation is characterized by the integration of Islamic values such as musyawarah (deliberation), ishlah (reconciliation), and justice; the balancing of power relations; and the establishment of clear agreements regarding roles and communication. These mediation practices contribute not only to conflict resolution but also to strengthening family resilience in psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions. This study proposes an Islamic relational mediation model that positions mediation as a community-based strategy for reinforcing social cohesion and family resilience. The findings highlight the importance of culturally grounded mediation in supporting sustainable community development within Muslim societies.
