Abstract

The Salafi preaching style in Aceh has prompted a response from the Aceh Ulema Consultative Council (MPU/Majelis Permusyawaratan Ulama) through a heretical fatwa on several Salafi teachings leading to communal conflict in Aceh. This article analyzes the socio-political background of the fatwa’s emergence, its impact on socio-religious conflict in Aceh, and Salafists’ resistance through a judicial review of the MPU’s legality. Combining literature and field studies, this paper demonstrates that the socio-religious conflict between Salafists and Acehnese society stems from the former’s truth claims regarding khilāfiyya issues. This is evident in the Salafi preaching style, which criticizes and hereticates some traditional Acehnese Muslim practices, that generated antagonistic responses from the MPU, society, and the Aceh government. The conflict has intensified after Salafists challenged the MPU’s legality in the Supreme Court of Indonesia despite its decline, which further solidified opposition to Salafi teachings and led to their marginalization in Aceh. This paper recommends that promoting tolerance by both parties is essential to resolving the conflict.

Abstract

This article examines the recent studies on al-Shāṭibī's maqāṣid al-sharīʻah (the highest purpose of Islamic Law) through a systematic literature review covering the years 2018-2023. Despite the growing interest in al-Shāṭibī's maqāṣid al-sharīʻah in contemporary discourse, research on this topic remains uncharted and unquantified. This article seeks to address the knowledge gap by examining the strengths and weaknesses of current studies and identifying potential areas for future research. This article employs a systematic literature review (SLR) as its research methodology, examining 20 scholarly articles selected from 139. This article concludes that scholars have studied al-Shāṭibī's maqāṣid al-sharīʻah across various fields, including Law, fiqh, health, language, comparative methodology, daʻwah, Sunnah, and logic. However, these studies rely heavily on literature review methods, with little to no empirical data. Thus, the key novelty of this article lies in uncovering a persistent theoretical bias in current research on maqāṣid, which limits its relevance to real-world legal and social challenges. This finding reveals an urgent need for more applied research that bridges al-Shāṭibī's normative theories with contemporary societal dynamics. This article underscores an opportunity for further research to build on al-Shāṭibī's maqāṣid al-sharīʻah theory through empirical data and to investigate new issues, including technology, education, banking, and Islamic finance.

Abstract

This article examines the construction of tolerance fiqh in the 2024 Resolution of the Ijtima' Nasional VIII of the Fatwa Commission of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), which includes perspectives on interreligious relations, greetings across faiths, and tolerance in the context of religious festivities. The issuance of these guidelines is closely tied to Indonesia's religious diversity, requiring clear normative guidance and boundaries rooted in Islamic law to promote harmonious interfaith interaction. Therefore, this article looks at the ideas and boundaries of tolerance found in the guidelines by using the principles of maqāṣid al-sharīʻah (the higher goals of Islamic law) and fiqh al-aqalliyyāt (Islamic laws for minorities). It further explores the legal reasoning, normative structure, and socio-religious implications within Indonesia's pluralistic society. This literature-based study uses the 2024 resolution as the primary source, supported by secondary materials, including journals and classical works in fiqh and uṣūl al-fiqh. This article concludes that the guidelines for tolerance in Islamic law clearly separate beliefs, worship, and social interactions. This distinction allows for mutual respect and interfaith tolerance while upholding boundaries, such as prohibiting interreligious greetings, using religious symbols from other faiths, and participating in non-Muslim religious celebrations. The resolution thus maintains a firm commitment to ḥifẓ al-dīn (protection of religion) while providing measured flexibility in social engagement. This article contributes to developing a contextual and balanced Islamic legal methodology for managing religious diversity in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of viral humanitarian imagery, focusing on the AI-generated image campaign with the hashtag #AllEyesonRafah on global social media dynamics. It explores how the imagery influences public awareness and encourages responses to humanitarian issues in Rafah, Palestine. The study aims to identify a pattern linking social media use to social mobilization driven by humanitarian imagery. Data were collected through analysis of digital content posted by public figures and humanitarian organizations, employing a qualitative approach informed by relevant communication theories. Primary sources included posts by public figures such as Bella Hadid, Ariana Grande, and Paramore, which significantly increased engagement. The analysis integrates three theories: Mark Granovetter’s Social Network Theory to examine the viral spread of AI-generated imagery on platforms like X, Instagram, and TikTok; Stuart Hall’s Representation Theory to analyze global public interpretations of these images; and Marshall McLuhan’s “Medium is the Message” Theory to assess how social media platforms and visual formats shape perception of the Rafah crisis. Findings indicate that viral humanitarian imagery not only raises awareness but also drives tangible global audiences. The study confirms social media’s role as an agent of social change, with its novelty lying in the detailed explanation of emotions in visual communication. The limitations of this study include the focus on one aspect of social media and the lack of longitudinal analysis, while suggestions for further research include a broader exploration of audience interactions and offline dimensions of similar phenomena.

Abstract

The rapid changes in Indonesia's socio-political landscape have highlighted the urgency of reconstructing the governance of civil society organizations, especially in balancing the tension between the freedom of association and public order. This tension has emerged as a contemporary trend filled with controversy and civil unrest. This study aims to formulate a model of governance for civil society organizations based on Islamic values, using three theoretical frameworks: Najm al-Din al-Tufi's Maṣlaḥah Theory, Robert Putnam's Civil Society Theory, and Mark Bevir's Good Governance Theory. The methodology used is a qualitative-descriptive approach, which includes data collection through policy documentation, digital media analysis, and in-depth interviews with two key informants from religious-based civil society organizations—Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Persatuan Islam (PERSIS). Primary sources include official government documents such as Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perpu) No. 2 of 2017 and Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 57 of 2017, alongside empirical narratives from community leaders. The research findings suggest that the social legitimacy of civil society organizations is more influenced by the practical application of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah (obligatory duties) and their ability to address the real needs of society than by mere adherence to administrative regulations. These findings highlight the gap between legality and legitimacy and emphasize that integrating the values of maṣlaḥah (benefit), social capital, and transparency is essential to strengthening civil society in a democratic state. By embedding Islamic values into the governance models, civil society organizations can better serve the community while maintaining democratic principles, creating a more inclusive and beneficial governance framework that aligns with both public needs and Islamic teachings.

Abstract

Homelessness and begging remain persistent social problems that require comprehensive and context-specific interventions. This study analyzes the social rehabilitation strategies of Harapan Mulya Social Shelter in Jambi, Indonesia, which plays a central role in managing homeless individuals and beggars through institutional care. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with shelter staff and beneficiaries, participant observations of daily activities, and document analysis. Data were examined using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model to identify themes related to institutional strategies and their implementation. The findings reveal that the shelter adopts a structured four-stage rehabilitation pathway: outreach, resocialization, evaluation, and termination. Outreach establishes trust and provides immediate relief, while resocialization offers spiritual guidance, social counseling, and vocational training to foster independence. Evaluation functions as a feedback loop to monitor progress and adapt programs, and termination prepares beneficiaries for reintegration into society. These strategies demonstrate a holistic model of intervention that addresses both psychosocial and economic needs. However, the effectiveness of these efforts is shaped by supporting factors such as regulatory frameworks, government funding, and committed staff, as well as hindering factors including limited professional resources, inadequate infrastructure, and socio-economic inequalities that contribute to relapse. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting how social rehabilitation operates in a resource-constrained Southeast Asian context, extending global discussions on homelessness management. It also offers practical implications for policymakers and practitioners seeking to strengthen institutional care through integrated, culturally grounded, and cross-sectoral approaches.

Abstract

Global neoliberalism and rapid urbanization have transformed cities worldwide, redefining social life and religious identities. In Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, these forces have intensified through economic growth, migration, and global connectivity, challenging the Muslim majority to sustain their faith within a consumerist and market-driven urban order. This study aims to analyze how neoliberal policies and globalization shape the social and cultural dynamics of Muslims in Jakarta and how they negotiate and adapt their identities amid modern urban transformation. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, this research relies on literature review and document analysis of official statistical reports and scholarly works on Jakarta’s socio-economic context. Data were analyzed thematically following Mezmir’s framework, involving coding, theme clustering, and narrative construction to interpret the relationship between urban transformation, neoliberalism, and Muslim identity. The findings reveal that Muslim identity in Jakarta is not eroded but hybridized—integrating Islamic ethics with modern practices such as digital zakat, halal lifestyle consumption, and mosque-based social welfare systems. These adaptations show resilience, creativity, and negotiation between religious tradition and global modernity. The implication of this study is the need for inclusive urban policies that protect religious practices, promote social equity, and strengthen community solidarity amid neoliberal pressures. Neoliberalisme global dan urbanisasi yang cepat telah mengubah wajah kota-kota di seluruh dunia, sekaligus memengaruhi kehidupan sosial dan identitas keagamaan masyarakat. Di Jakarta, sebagai ibu kota Indonesia, kekuatan tersebut semakin terasa melalui pertumbuhan ekonomi, arus migrasi, dan keterhubungan global yang tinggi. Kondisi ini menantang masyarakat Muslim untuk tetap mempertahankan nilai-nilai keagamaannya di tengah budaya kota yang kompetitif dan konsumtif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana kebijakan neoliberal dan globalisasi membentuk dinamika sosial dan budaya umat Muslim di Jakarta serta bagaimana mereka menegosiasikan dan menyesuaikan identitasnya di tengah transformasi kota modern. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui studi literatur dan analisis dokumen yang terkait kondisi sosial-ekonomi Jakarta. Data dianalisis dengan metode tematik berdasarkan kerangka Mezmir, melalui proses pengkodean, pengelompokan tema, dan penyusunan narasi untuk menafsirkan hubungan antara transformasi kota, neoliberalisme, dan identitas Muslim. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa identitas Muslim di Jakarta tidak hilang, tetapi bertransformasi menjadi bentuk hibrid yang memadukan etika Islam dengan praktik modern seperti zakat digital, gaya hidup halal, dan solidaritas sosial berbasis masjid. Adaptasi ini menunjukkan ketahanan dan kreativitas umat Muslim dalam menghadapi modernitas. Implikasi penelitian ini adalah pentingnya kebijakan kota yang inklusif, yang mampu melindungi praktik keagamaan, memperkuat keadilan sosial, dan mendorong solidaritas komunitas di tengah tekanan neoliberal.

Abstract

This article examines the juridical transformation of digital content creators into zakat payers within the framework of contemporary Islamic law. The rapid expansion of Indonesia’s digital creative economy, with professions such as YouTubers and Instagram celebrities earning substantial yet fluctuating incomes, raises urgent questions regarding the applicability of classical zakat provisions to modern revenue models. Therefore, this article critically analyzes the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Fatwa No. 1 of 2024 on Zakat for Digital Content Creators, issued during the 8th National Fatwa Commission Conference. Using a juridical-normative method combined with content analysis, this article examines fatwa texts, Qur’anic and hadith foundations, and both classical and contemporary fiqh perspectives, triangulated with recent literature on Islamic law in the digital economy. The findings demonstrate that the fatwa categorizes creators’ income as māl mustafād (acquired wealth) subject to zakat once it reaches the niṣāb equivalent of 85 grams of gold, with rates of 2.5% (lunar year) or 2.57% (solar year). Its flexibility in permitting zakat payment upon receipt of income, without waiting for a full ḥawl, reflects Islamic law’s responsiveness to irregular digital earnings. This article concludes that the fatwa not only regulates wealth redistribution (ḥifẓ al-māl) and reinforces ethical content production (ḥifẓ al-dīn), but also marks a significant step in the rise of digital fiqh. Its key contribution lies in proposing a practical zakat calculation model for multi-source digital income while highlighting taysīr (facilitation) and rafʿ al-ḥaraj (removal of hardship) as normative foundations for Shariah adaptation in the digital economy.
