Abstract

The theological debate in Aceh in the 17th century, particularly the accusations of heresy and infidelity directed by Nūr al-Dīn al-Rānīrī against the Wujudiyah group, reflected the tension between shariah, sufism, and creed. This issue is relevant to revisit because it is not only an essential part of the intellectual history of Islam in the archipelago, but also has strong resonance in contemporary takfīr discourse that impacts the religious practices and socio-legal order of Muslims. This study aims to analyse al-Rānīrī's accusations through the parameters of shariah, particularly in relation to shaṭaḥāt (ecstatic expressions), while also examining its significance in modern debates regarding the limits of faith and the practice of excommunication. Using a literature review method and al-Fatḥ al-Mubīn as the primary source, this study found that al-Rānīrī's verdict was based on the assumption that Wujudiyah rejected the obligations of prayer and fasting. However, a textual analysis of Hamzah Fansuri's thought showed that what is meant was only the condition of Sufis in a state of unconsciousness, which in fiqh is considered a matter of khilafiah (disagreement). Therefore, the accusations of bid'ah and kufr do not have sufficient legal legitimacy. This finding confirms that the discourse of takfīr is not only a historical problem, but also has significant socio-legal implications in contemporary times, both through institutional fatwas and the narratives of transnational groups that have the potential to give rise to stigmatisation and social conflict.

Abstract

Environmental degradation in Jambi City such as the pollution of the Batanghari River, increasing floods, and the decline of green open spaces demonstrates the urgent need to strengthen environmental conservation movements based on religious values. In this context, women activists occupy a strategic position as agents of change due to their close connection with community social dynamics. This community service program focuses on strengthening the capacity of women activists in mainstreaming ecotheology, utilizing local assets as internal community strengths, and developing cross-sector collaborative networks. The objectives include enhancing conceptual and practical competencies, optimizing local assets for ecological movements grounded in religious values, and expanding support through multisector partnerships. The program’s implementation shows that capacity building for women is a key factor in developing ecological awareness and encouraging environmental preservation at the community level. Conceptual and practical training strengthened skills in advocacy, leadership, and program management, enabling women to act as strategic drivers of change. The Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach ensures program sustainability by utilizing individual, social, cultural, and physical community resources. Networking with government, religious institutions, educational organizations, media, environmental communities, and the business sector reinforced movement consolidation and opened broader collaboration. These efforts have the potential to foster an inclusive, participatory, and sustainable ecotheology movement.
