Abstract

This article aims to describe and discuss (1) the phenomenon of religious extremism on the campus and (2) institutional responses of the state Islamic higher education to it in the form of (3) strengthening religious moderation through the revitalization of Ma‘had al-Jami‘ah (Pesantren of University). With a case study research design and the religious moderation concept of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia as a theoretical framework, this study found relatively the same facts about the phenomenon of religious extremism in the three state Islamic universities. Their institutional responses also tend to be similar; they rely on the belief that religious extremism harms the spirit of Islam’s raḥmatan li al-'ālamīn and the movement of extreme religious elements has threatened the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. The biggest difference is the way the three campuses foster moderate religiosity of students through the revitalization of Ma‘had al-Jami‘ah. However, the various strengthening strategies they do are relatively in line with the strategy of strengthening religious moderation of the Ministry and therefore have productive values for the national program. These results contribute to enriching the discourse on religious extremism and can also be used as a reference for state Islamic universities in strengthening the early warning system, especially through the revitalization of Ma‘had al-Jami‘ah.

Abstract

This research-based article discusses interreligious relations and religious believers’ views as determining forms of interreligious relations. It chose a village in a rural area as the research locus, namely Sukoreno, Jember Regency, East Java Province. This village has four religious communities (Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Catholicism) and one mysticism community (Sapta Darma). So far, they have displayed a peaceful-productive relationship amid the cultural diversities, especially religious differences. This is interesting in Indonesia's current situation, which is often plagued by religious conflicts. It is also important in the context of multiculturalism discourse, which tends to be urban-biased and its enrichment in an Islamic perspective. Therefore, this study explores forms of interreligious relations and how the Sukoreno community uses them as cultural energy to build social cohesion. From an Islamic perspective, the findings can be used as a pilot model for multicultural Indonesian society, both in rural areas and urban areas, where demographically, the majority of citizens are Muslims. Moreover, interreligious relations in Sukoreno can prove that Indonesian people have the cultural wealth to build their own multiculturalism, rooted in the cultural treasures of their own locality, indigenous Islamic multiculturalism.

Conflict can be strengthen the harmony or divide a nation. To facilitate the communication process, a pattern (form, model) is needed in communication, especially communication between cultures or between religions. Culture and religion are very vulnerable to create a conflict, so communication between cultures or religions in Indonesia is very needed, since Indonesian is very plural. In other words, the function of communication is to maintain multicultural or multi-religious harmony.

Abstract

The story of the Prophet Yusuf in the Qur'an (QS. Surat Yusuf) has been transformed into a sacred text of Lontar Yusup culture among the people of the Osing tribe, Banyuwangi. This research aims to unravel the process of negotiation and cultural adaptation using an intertextual literary criticism approach. Through the descriptive qualitative method, QS. Yusuf's letter is positioned as a hypogram and Yusup's Lontar manuscript as a transformation text. The results of the study show that local copyists do not just carry out literal translations, but practice cultural transposition through three main mechanisms: narrative expansion that domesticates the geographical setting into agrarian cosmology and the ethics of the archipelago palace; modification of characterization from a pure prophetic figure to an ideal knight figure who walks the path of Sufism; as well as theological contextualization through the practice of performing the ritual of mocking the night before. In conclusion, the intertextual relationship in this tradition is not a syncretism that reduces the purity of the value of monotheism, but a form of civilizational negotiation and a harmonious cultural da'wah strategy. These findings confirm that sacred texts can be earthed as functional moral guides without having to uproot the roots of indigenous peoples' sociocultural identities.

Abstract

Abstract: Indonesia, with its abundant cultural and religious wealth, faces challenges from radical Islamic groups that are incompatible with local values and pluralism. These groups which tend to hold exclusive and intolerant. The two main approaches that have emerged for interpreting Islam in this context are progressive Islam and Islamic indigenization. Progressive Islam, pioneered by Farish A. Noor encourages the adaptation of Islamic teachings to the values of modernity such as democracy, human rights, and pluralism. Meanwhile, the indigenization of Islam developed by Abdurrahman Wahid emphasizes the importance of integrating Islam with Indonesia's local culture. Both approaches reject radicalism and support an inclusive and tolerant form of Islam. However, they differ in focus and implementation, Farish is more global and theoretical, while Gus Dur is more local and practical. Both approaches are visible in social practices, Farish and Gus Dur support pluralism and human rights, although Gus Dur also emphasizes the importance of local cultural adaptation in daily religious practice. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method through a literature review of the works of Farish and Gus Dur, analyzing the main themes of each approach. The results show that despite their differences, these two approaches can complement each other in promoting relevant and contextualized Islam, contributing to social harmony and inclusive policies in Indonesia.

Abstract

Cases of bullying in Islamic boarding schools continue to occur, while traditional approaches centered on patriarchal authority figures and punitive punishment have proven inadequate. This descriptive qualitative research analyzes transformative da'wah strategies and young women's ulama agencies, which are members of the Nawaning Nusantara network, in responding to the violence. Data collection was carried out through digital discourse analysis, literature studies, and document reviews of religious views, which were then analyzed using the theoretical framework of Agency and Transformative Da'wah. The results of the study show that Nawaning Nusantara dismantles the asymmetrical hierarchy of power through three main intervention areas: (1) an epistemological approach by reinterpreting classical texts based on the principle of the protection of the soul (hifdz al-nafs); (2) institutional stages through the establishment of safe spaces and the integration of victim-centered psychological approaches; and (3) cultural deconstruction through mental health literacy campaigns in the digital space. In conclusion, the agency of women clerics succeeded in recontextualizing religious traditions into instruments of liberation, changing the paradigm of conflict resolution from saving institutional reputations to fulfilling the rights of survivors. This model of restorative justice proves the intrinsic capacity of Islamic boarding schools to reform their system in a humane manner, so it is recommended to be adopted as a macro standard for child protection.

Abstract

The rise of religious authority among young people in Indonesia has become increasingly prominent, particularly with the proliferation of da'wah movements across diverse domains. This trend is evidenced by the surge of Islamic activism initiated by Indonesian youth. This study seeks to explore the methods through which young individuals assert and cultivate their religious influence and the ethos of Islamic resurgence within the public sphere. Conducting field research in Probolinggo, Bondowoso, and Lumajang, supplemented by netnography examining youth social behaviors and existing literature, this paper unveils several key findings. Firstly, young Indonesians establish da'wah communities in various formats, such as majelis shalawat, sarwah, and majlas. Secondly, they exhibit a preference for popular shalawat music in the Indonesian language. Thirdly, there is a widespread utilization of social media platforms as a means of disseminating their da'wah messages. Lastly, young Muslims manifest their religious authority through fashionable and contemporary styles of dress.

Abstract

The development of digital space has transformed the communication patterns of santri, particularly in accessing religious knowledge, constructing identity, and responding to global values. Santri no longer engage with pesantren values solely through classical Islamic texts, the guidance of kyai, and Islamic educational traditions; they now do so also through social media, visual content, digital algorithms, and artificial intelligence. This study aims to analyze the intercultural communication accommodation strategies of santri in facing the ambivalence of global values in digital space. This study adopts a library research design with a qualitative-descriptive approach. Data were obtained through a review of journal articles, academic literature, intercultural communication theories, pesantren regulations, and relevant documents on pesantren, santri, digital da'wah, and global culture. The data were analyzed using thematic content analysis based on Communication Accommodation Theory, identity negotiation theory, and intercultural communication perspectives. The findings show that santri respond to the ambivalence of global values through value selection, communication convergence, identity divergence, and the internalization of digital adab. This study concludes that santri are active communication actors who adapt, filter, and affirm their Islamic identity in digital space, while pesantren function as value mediators between Islamic tradition and global digital culture.

Abstract

Scientific writing competence is essential for knowledge production and academic development. However, many teachers in Islamic educational institutions face challenges in developing scientific writing skills, limiting their participation in scholarly discourse. This article describes a community engagement program aimed at enhancing teachers’ capacity for popular scientific writing at Madrasah Diniyah B-05 Sidogiri Pesantren Miftahul Ulum Bengkak, Wongsorejo, Banyuwangi. The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, involving teachers in identifying needs, designing activities, implementing training, and evaluating outcomes. Thirteen teachers participated, with ten successfully producing articles. Six articles met general eligibility criteria, and two were published in online media outlets. These results indicate that the program strengthened teachers’ competencies in producing popular scientific writing and increased their engagement in knowledge dissemination. The integration of religious moderation perspectives also encouraged participants to develop more inclusive and moderate religious narratives. The program demonstrates that participatory writing training can improve teachers’ writing capacity while promoting religious moderation in Islamic educational settings. This initiative contributes to educational and community-based efforts to strengthen religious moderation and support teachers’ participation in academic and public discourse.
