Abstract

This article examines the motives behind the decisions of the Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI), in 1980 and 2005, to issue fatwas condemning the Ahmadiyah. Using critical discourse analysis, this study reveals MUI’s motives behind its fatwas on the Ahmadiyah by drawing on the text and the context of the issuance of the fatwas. Underpinning MUI’s issuance of its fatwa on the Ahmadiyah Qadiyan in 1980 was the global rejection of the Ahmadiyah, particularly in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, MUI’s fatwa on the Ahmadiyah in 2005 was informed by an increased rejection of the Ahmadiyah in Indonesia, which was based on the Jalsa Salana Ahmadiyah meeting in 2005, in Parung, Bogor. In the fatwa’s dictum, MUI positions itself as the guardian of the Islamic creed. MUI’s choice of wording and language style in its fatwas demonstrates its desire to display its authority as a quasi-non-governmental organization.

Abstract

Over the past two decades, the trend of fatwa requests has increased. Fatwas issued by certain individuals or organizations are used as references in daily life. Likewise in Indonesia through the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) where the desire for asking fatwas is almost the same as the desire for implementing the fatwa itself. Including fatwas related to religious sects such as Ahmadiyya which are often become victims of discrimination and assault. Studies of this research focuses on texts fatwa issued by MUI on Ahmadiyya sect in 1980 and 2005. This study departs from the claims of some researchers who think that the fatwa had a strong correlation with actions and violent behavior that befell the Ahmadiyya Community. Use an anthropological linguistic approach, this study show Jemaah Ahmadiyya considers that fatwas are opinion. As usual opinion, he must be respected. Disagreement with an opinion is common. Because opinions are not binding. Such a pedestal of thinking simultaneously raises attitudes and responses that tend to appear to 'accept what we are'. However, if examined more closely, there are a number of efforts which although they are 'sporadic' and are not interpreted as a specific strategy to counter the actual heretical labelling efforts carried out by the Jemaah Ahmadiyya.

Abstract

This study aims to uncover the position of the Indonesian Ulama Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia or MUI) in the current institutional context where it has the authority to issue fatwas. The era of disruption and digital revolution poses challenges for MUI. This qualitative study combines content analysis of a text with actor-network analysis of the actors who produce the text. Content analysis of the text was carried out by analyzing the language used in MUI regional fatwas that indicate symptoms of fatwa de-bureaucratization. The next step is to map the discourse arising from the fatwa de-bureaucratization symptoms. This study uses the Discourse Network Analysis (DNA) tool to map the actors involved. This is useful to answer the discourse map and actors involved in producing a discourse. The study results show that MUI faces two main challenges in the digital revolution era. First, the symptom of de-bureaucratization is marked by the increasing number of national issues discussed and decided by MUI regions. Second, depersonalization is characterized by the emergence of celebrity ulama, who often issue fatwas in forums and religious gatherings they possess. Abstrak: Kajian ini berupaya mengungkap posisi Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) saat ini yang secara kelembagaan memiliki kewenangan mengeluarkan fatwa. Era disrupsi dan revolusi digital membawa tantangan tersendiri bagi MUI. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang menggabungkan analisis isi dalam sebuah teks dengan analisis jaringan aktor yang memproduksi teks tersebut. Analisis isi teks dilakukan dengan menganalisis data berupa penggunaan bahasa pada fatwa MUI daerah yang menunjukkan gejala debirokratisasi fatwa. Tahap selanjutnya adalah memetakan wacana yang muncul dalam gejala debirokratisasi fatwa. Dalam memetakan aktor-aktor tersebut, penelitian ini menggunakan Discourse Network Analysis (DNA). Hal ini berguna untuk menjawab peta wacana dan aktor yang terlibat dalam memproduksi sebuah wacana. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa ada dua tantangan utama yang dihadapi MUI di era revolusi digital. Pertama, merupakan gejala debirokratisasi yang ditandai dengan semakin banyaknya isu nasional yang dibahas dan diputuskan oleh MUI daerah. Kedua, depersonalisasi ditandai dengan lahirnya ulama selebritas yang kerap mengeluarkan fatwa di forum-forum halakah dan pengajian yang dimiliki.

Abstract

This article analyses the fatwa issued by the Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI, the Indonesian Council of Ulama) on the Ahmadiyah sect through the frameworks of Teun A. van Dijk’s critical discourse analysis. Addressing a research gap on language as an instrument of power in religious discourse, this study examines the graphic structure, syntax, semantics, lexical choices, and rhetorical strategies to reveal how the fatwa not only serves as a legal guideline within Islamic jurisprudence but also functions as an ideological tool reinforcing MUI’s authority within Indonesia’s religious hierarchy. Findings indicate that passive constructions, abstraction, generalisation, hyperbole, and repetition are employed to obscure agency, amplify societal demands, and frame the Ahmadis as a threat to social stability and Islamic orthodoxy. Lexical choices, such as “deviant”, “apostate”, and “misleading”, legitimise the marginalisation of Ahmadiyah followers and reinforce the binary opposition between mainstream Muslims and the outgroup. Additionally, rhetorical strategies within the fatwa shape public perception, strengthen MUI’s authority, and potentially foster institutional discrimination. This study demonstrates that religious discourse extends beyond doctrinal guidance, functioning as a mechanism of social control that sustains exclusionary practices within the religious sphere, thereby contributing to the broader discourse on language, ideology, and power in Islamic studies in Indonesia. [Artikel ini menganalisis Fatwa Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) tentang Aliran Ahmadiyah dengan menggunakan pendekatan analisis wacana kritis yang dikembangkan oleh Teun A. van Dijk. Studi ini menyoroti kesenjangan penelitian terkait peran bahasa sebagai instrumen kekuasaan dalam wacana keagamaan, khususnya dalam membentuk kognisi sosial, konstruksi ideologis, dan dominasi institusional. Dengan menelaah struktur grafis, sintaksis, semantik, leksikal, dan retoris, penelitian ini mengungkap bahwa fatwa tersebut tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai pedoman hukum Islam, tetapi juga sebagai alat ideologis yang memperkuat posisi MUI dalam hierarki keagamaan Indonesia. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa strategi linguistik, seperti kalimat pasif, abstraksi, generalisasi, hiperbola, dan repetisi, digunakan untuk menyamarkan aktor, memperbesar tuntutan masyarakat, serta membingkai Ahmadiyah sebagai ancaman terhadap stabilitas sosial dan kemurnian Islam. Pilihan leksikal, termasuk istilah “sesat”, “murtad”, dan “menyesatkan”, berperan dalam melegitimasi marginalisasi terhadap pengikut Ahmadiyah serta memperkuat oposisi biner antara Muslim arus utama dan kelompok luar. Selain itu, strategi retoris dalam fatwa ini membentuk persepsi publik, meningkatkan otoritas MUI, serta berpotensi mendorong diskriminasi institusional. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa wacana keagamaan tidak hanya merefleksikan norma Islam, tetapi juga berfungsi sebagai alat kontrol sosial yang mempertahankan praktik eksklusi dalam ranah keagamaan. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini berkontribusi pada kajian bahasa, ideologi, dan kekuasaan dalam wacana Islam di Indonesia.]

Abstract

There have been many studies on Islam and Islamic societies in Papua. However, there have not been many studies on Arab descendants in Papua. Nevertheless, people of Arab descent have long been present in Papua and have played a significant role in developing the Islamic community in Papua. Therefore, discussing their role in the Papuan Muslim community is important. Based on this issue, the following article examines Papuans from the Al-Hamid clan in two chiefdoms in Kaimana, namely Petuanan Namatota and Petuanan Kumisi. The main issue discussed in this research is the Al-Hamid clan's role in Islamic affairs in the Namatota and Kumisi Chiefdoms in Kaimana. The research data were obtained through a literature review and fieldwork in Kaimana, West Papua. The results show that Papuans of Arab descent from the Al-Hamid clan play an important role in religious affairs in the Namatota and Kumisi Chiefdoms. People from Al-Hamid's descendants have been religious teachers, qadhi, mosque imams, and policymakers in Islamic religious affairs in the two chiefdoms since around the end of the 19th Century. Al-Hamid's descendants still carry out these roles, although they are delegated to other parties in some circumstances.

Abstract

This article aims to describe the construction of Ariel Heryanto’s postmodernism ideas. Through in-depth observational studies on several articles, especially on the book entitled Identity and Pleasure: The Politics of Indonesian Screen Culture, this article concludes that post-modern epistemology is the foundation of Ariel’s analysis in seeing the development of popular culture in contemporary Indonesia. Ariel Heryanto used the postmodernism epistemology to see indications of popular culture. Indonesian identity which concerns to the meaning of being Indonesian Muslims, identity of minority (being Left and PKI), and expressions of choosing enjoyment while simultaneously affirming and building the identity in the context of middle-class Muslim fondness for K-Pop and K-Drama and other screen-based popular culture. Ariel Heryanto has succeeded in reading the phenomenon of a generation that try to redefine how to be a good Muslim, how to be a good citizen and at the same time remain a member of the global producer and consumer community.

Abstract

This study uses an anthropolinguistic approach to examine two Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) fatwa texts regarding Ahmadiyya. First, it shows that there are significant differences between the 1980 and 2005 fatwas. Second, in terms of their lexicon, the 1980 fatwa uses the phrase "di luar Islam" (outside Islam), while the 2005 fatwa uses the phrase "berada di luar Islam" (located outside Islam). Third, there is an emphasis on the responsibilities of the government within the 2005 fatwa on Ahmadiyya. Fourth, the 1980 fatwa was directed at the Qadiyan Ahmadiyya, while the 2005 fatwa was directed at all elements of Ahmadiyya. Fifth, the form of the 2005 fatwa is reminiscent of a legal proclamation. This strongly affected the violence experienced by Ahmadiyya, as the fatwa was no longer presented as an opinion, but as a legally binding decision.
