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

The Regulation of Ministry of Education and Culture No. 23 of 2017 concerning School Day resulted in a tremendous wave of protest. The public takes part in different sides, the pro and the contra. This research uses a hermeneutical paradigm with causal historical analysis. The results of the study show that the refusal among the pesantren community is based on a robust doctrine of the fiqh rules as a form of orthodoxy and adherence to the values taught by the pesantren. Second, the government is playing with language on its policy. In the context of full-day school regulation, the government still uses euphemism as a strategy of education political ethic. Third, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) has a very central role in rejecting the five-day school policy.

Abstract

A dictionary is more than a collection of words; it is a realm of knowledge and power where language, history, and ideology meet. This research aims to explore the representation and absence of etymological traces of socio-religious terms, particularly those of Arabic origin, in the online edition of the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI). A critical analysis of several entries shows that although since 2018 the KBBI has started to include etymological notes for some Arabic-derived words, this move remains partial, inconsistent and problematic. Terms such as modin and muslihat appear with superficial or distorted etymological explanations, while important terms in Islamic discourse such as istirjāʻ, tayamum, and barakah are missing. On the other hand, the inclusion of sectarian terms-such as Ahlussunnah, Khawarij, and Wahabi-indicates an epistemological bias as well as a reflection of the particular ideological framework at work in the compilation of the dictionary. These findings show that the KBBI is not entirely neutral as a linguistic archive, but rather a discursive arena that produces and reproduces meanings in Indonesia's socio-political landscape. Thus, the dictionary does not only function as a linguistic tool, but also a field of cultural and ideological attraction, where the authority to define language becomes a contested political issue.

Abstract

This article examines the meanings and functions of Javanese traditional food through a linguistic anthropological lens. Food is approached not merely as a biological necessity, but as a cultural artifact embedded with social significance. Drawing on a corpus of traditional food names compiled by Endang Nurhayati (2013), this study analyzes how naming practices reflect the cultural logic and symbolic values of Javanese society. The findings demonstrate that the meanings and functions of traditional foods are flexible and contingent upon their socio-cultural contexts, whether in ritual ceremonies or everyday consumption. Naming conventions are shaped by sensory attributes (such as color, taste, texture, and form), sound symbolism (onomatopoeia), and acronyms. These linguistic strategies reveal how language mediates cultural understanding and expresses identity, history, and communal values. The study contributes to broader discussions on the role of food in semiotic systems and the intersection between language, culture, and social practice in Javanese tradition.

Abstract

The process of religious education in Islamic boarding schools is considered very comprehensive because it does not only transfer knowledge, but transfers values, not only emphasizing theoretical understanding, but practicing worship at the same time and not relying solely on memorizing a series of scientific theories but getting used to the tradition of practice. Rituals also do not only rhetorically promote the concepts of 'sama', tawassuth, and tawazun, but implement them at the practical level of pesantren life. Therefore, up to now Islamic Boarding Schools have become one of the centers for learning Islamic sciences that are most trusted by Muslims. Islamic boarding schools have double power, namely a kyai as the leader of the Islamic boarding school and the Islamic boarding school itself as an educational institution and system. As one of the unique cultural treasures of Indonesian Muslims, Islamic boarding schools have proven to be a barometer of the defense of Muslim morality and are social and religious educational institutions that are capable of changing society in their environment towards the transformation of religious and national values. The basics of Islamic boarding school civilization manifest through the potential and role played by Islamic boarding schools in maintaining their existence and playing an active role in utilizing their potential as educational institutions for the benefit of deepening religious knowledge (tafaqquh fiddin). Proses pendidikan keagamaan di pondok pesantren dinilai sangat komprehensif karena tidak hanya melakukan transfer of konwoledge, akan tetapi transfer of value’s, tidak hanya menekankan pada pemahaman teori, akan tetapi praktik ibadah sekaligus dan tidak hanya mengandalkan hafalan serangkaian teori keilmuan akan tetapi membiasakan diri dalam tradisi praktik ritual juga tidak hanya secara retoris menggalakkan konsep ‘adalah, tawassuth, dan tawazun, akan tetapi mengimplementasikannya dalam tataran praktis kehidupan pesantren. Oleh karenanya hingga sekarang Pondok Pesantren menjadi salah satu pusat belajar ilmu-ilmu keislaman yang paling dipercaya oleh umat Islam. Pondok Pesantren mempunyai kekuatan ganda (double power) yaitu seorang kyai sebagai pemimpin pondok pesantren dan pesantren sendiri sebagai institusi dan sistem pendidikan. Sebagai salah satu kekayaan budaya umat Islam Indonesia yang khas, pondok- pesantren telah terbukti menjadi barometer pertahanan moralitas umat Islam dan merupakan lembaga sosial dan pendidikan keagamaan yang mampu melakukan perubahan masyarakat di lingkungannya ke arah transformasi nilai-nilai keagamaan dan kebangsaan. Dasar-dasar peradaban pondok-pesantren mengejawantahkan melalui potensi dan peran yang dimainkan oleh pondok pesantren dalam mempertahankan eksistensinya dan berperan aktif memanfaatkan potensinya sebagai lembaga pendidikan untuk kepentingan pendalaman ilmu agama (tafaqquh fiddin).

Abstract

This 2025 special issue of Islam Nusantara: Journal for the Study of Islamic History and Culture, collaboratively organized with the Cheng Ho Cultural Museum, presents a multidisciplinary exploration of the historical and contemporary dimensions of Sino-Nusantara relations. Through five thematic lenses, maritime routes, Islamization, artistic heritage, culinary history, and geopolitical dynamics, the featured articles employ diverse methodologies ranging from ethnography and historiography to international relations theory. Collectively, they challenge reductionist narratives by highlighting the integral role of Chinese Muslim communities, the hybridity of cultural expressions, and the enduring legacy of inter-civilizational encounters. The issue reframes Islam Nusantara as a product of layered, continuous negotiation, demonstrating how historical connectivity informs both cultural identity and modern geopolitical frameworks. Ultimately, it advocates for an adaptive, inclusive understanding of this shared past to envision more cooperative futures.
