Abstract

 Initially, Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah was predominantly received by scholars with a focus on textual analysis.However, its reception has expanded, incorporating various practices within communities, including its useas a remedy believed to cure ailments. This study aims to examine the belief in the efficacy of Sūrah AlFātiḥah as a healing remedy among the Malay communities of Pontianak and Singkawang. A qualitativeresearch methodology was employed, analyzed through Ahmad Rafiq’s theory of functional reception. Datawere gathered through observations, interviews, and related literature. The findings reveal that the Malaycommunities of Pontianak and Singkawang believe in Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah’s healing properties based on aHadith stating: “The Opening of the Book serves as a remedy for various ailments.” Performatively, inPontianak, Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah is recited in one breath over a glass of water, which is then consumed by theill. In Singkawang, there are two ways: first, reciting Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah while directing the thumb to theroof of the mouth and applying it to the affected area; second, reciting the surah over water, which is thenconsumed and applied to the afflicted area. The transmission of this knowledge in Pontianak is linked toKitab Mujarabat (literally: Book of Remedies) by Daeng Matse, while in Singkawang, it derives fromKitab Harian (literally: Book of Daily Guidance) by Datok Ngah Dolah. This study contributes to theunderstanding of Living Qur’an and Hadith, revealing a model of acculturative religious education. Thetheoretical, practical, and methodological contributions of this research offer recommendations for futurestudies, such as developing new methods or expanding research datasets

Abstract

 The focus of this paper is the madrasa in Indonesia and its development which is examined from the perspective of Michel Foucault regarding their authority, knowledge and discourse. The madrasa’s performance, which is still relatively low and unable to compete with public schools or pesantrens (Islamic Boarding Schools), will be examined from this perspective. This paper departs from the study of literature with a historical-sociological approach. The sources of the data come from the literature related to the history and development of madrasas. From Foucoult's perspective, the performance of the madrasa--which in its development shows a decline trend and is of relatively low quality and less competitive compared with general schools or pesantrens-- is closely related to power, knowledge and discourse factors. My argument is supported by the evidence that there is no an established “blueprint” for the supervision and development of madrasas in Indonesia, in contrast to schools or pesantrens. Likewise, the problem of interplay of madrasa policies in the integration of the national education system has put the madrasa in the midst of domination of schools and pesantrens, especially in the midst of society since the appreciation and level of community participation in the madrasa are not very encouraging. In addition, there is an opinion among the public which perceives the madrasa as the second educational institution after schools or pesantrens. This opinion is, of course, supported by empirical data, such as research from Nur Hamzah (2017) and Sukino (2017) which examined the madrasas in West Kalimantan Province, and revealed the poor quality of some madrasas in this area, which in my opinion is the "top of the iceberg" of the madrasa, especially in the outermost, interior and underdeveloped areas of Indonesia.
