Abstract

This article examines the shift of Rached Ghannouchi and Ennahda party from Islamism to democracy. This article analyzes Ghannouchi’s early Islamist ideology and confrontational approach to politics, as well as his exposure to democratic systems, which led to a reevaluation of his views on democracy, following the failure of Ennahda’s early attempts at revolutionary Islamism in the 1980s and 1990s, which prompted Ghannouchi to reconsider his approach to politics and Islamism. This led to a shift towards a more moderate and inclusive approach to politics, culminating in Ennahda’s participation in Tunisia’s democratic transition after the 2011 revolution. This article highlights the theoretical implications of his shift from Islamism to democracy for the study of political Islam and democratization. This article argues that Islamist actors and movements can evolve and adapt to changing political circumstances, as well as undergo gradual moderation in promoting democratic reform.

Abstract

The issue of Islam and human rights has become important issue in Indonesia at least since the last two decades. Indonesian Muslims have developed two different approaches to human rights: in complete agreement with the declaration of universal human rights; and in resistance to that declaration and developing understanding that Islam encompasses human rights values. The article argues for its part that human rights are not absolutely universal, because they are based chiefly on Western values, structures, ethics and morality. For that, it is reasonable to question their universality. The present article focuses on how Indonesian Muslim intellectuals conceive of human rights and Islamic values as they perceive the two. Specifically, it focuses on four principal issues in human rights discourse: freedom of opinion, religious freedoms, rights of women, and criminal law. The authors reveal in the conclusion that although some Indonesian Muslim intellectuals admit that universal human rights are truly universal, they still see differences in certain cases, due to differences in socio-cultural background. They have tried to affect a synthesis between the universality and particularity of both Islamic and universal human rights in order to make both fit within the Indonesian context.

Abstract

This article explores the dynamics of Islamic scholarship in the classical and medieval periods. During this very long period, Islamic scholarship experienced rapid development, especially during the classical period, although in the middle period its development was often considered to have experienced a decline. Types of scholarship grew in line with the dynamics of Muslims in many regions, and their interaction with the intellectual heritage of ancient Greece in areas conquered by Islam. This article argues that the dynamics of Islamic scholarship cannot be separated from politics or power that provides support and patronage to scientists, while emphasizing that even though in the medieval period there was disintegration of Islamic politics, Islamic scholarship still produced significant scientific figures and works.

Abstract

This article conducts an in-depth analysis of the signs of Muhammad's prophethood as presented in Ibn Sa‘d’s Kitab al-Tabaqat, using a historiographical approach to explore these narratives’ significance in early Islamic history. It seeks to identify and categorize the range of signs and miracles attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, investigate Ibn Sa‘d’s interpretive techniques and historical methods, and examine how these signs help construct prophetic authority and Islamic cultural memory. By analyzing each narrative in both its historical context and its theological and literary dimensions, the study addresses key issues such as Ibn Sa‘d’s perspective as a historian, his interpretive biases, and the ways these narratives reinforce Islamic belief in Muhammad’s divine mission. The findings reveal that Ibn Sa‘d’s portrayal of prophetic signs operates on several levels: as a testament to divine intervention, an assertion of the Prophet's unique spiritual status, and a framework for defining the sacred in Islamic tradition. This article argues that Ibn Sa‘d’s narratives provide critical insights into Islamic historical methodology and the formation of religious identity, enhancing our understanding of the intersections of history, theology, and memory in shaping early Islamic religio-cultural consciousness.

Abstract

This article deals with changing trends in scholarship on political Islam in Turkey, Tunisia, and Indonesia. Over the past decades, studies on political Islam have undergone significant changes, shaped by dynamic political contexts and theoretical frameworks. This article highlights changes in academic perspectives regarding political Islam within diverse global and national contexts. In Turkey, scholarship has shifted to analyzing interplays between secularism and political Islam under the Justice and Development Party (AKP). The post-Arab Spring in Tunisia has spurred academic investigations into the involvement of Ennahda with democracy and secular state institutions amid political instability. In Indonesia, scholars have examined various manifestations of political Islam represented by the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) in the context of democratic processes. This article is a literature study, based primarily upon scholarly works on political Islam, it argues that scholarship on political Islam in the three countries witnesses changes, from binary narratives to more context-sensitive approaches, reflecting the evolutionary nature of political Islam in dynamic political landscapes. Initially perceiving political Islam as ideologically rigid, various studies now acknowledge the engagement of Islamist parties in democratic processes and their adaptation to gender issues, integration into transnational connections, and dynamic interplay with secularism. This article reveals that the moderation theory can be an analytical tool for scrutinizing changing trends in studying political Islam.

Abstract

This study aims to utilize the manifestation of Qur'anic values ​​in the Ketoprak Wahyu Budoyo performance in Pati Regency, as well as the role of comedic characters as a medium for transmitting moral and religious messages. The approach used in this study is Living Qur'an with a qualitative descriptive method through observation, interviews, and visual documentation. The results of the study indicate that Qur'anic values ​​such as trustworthiness, sacrifice, honesty, brotherhood, tolerance, and patience are committed through the storyline, character traits, symbols, and local cultural dialogue. Comedic characters play an important role in conveying moral messages through humor, songs, and communicative song lyrics. The novelty of this study lies in the analysis of the integration of Qur'anic values ​​through traditional arts using the Living Qur'an perspective, which is rarely studied in depth. This finding confirms that ketoprak art does not only function as a means of entertainment, but also becomes a space for cultural interpretation in bringing Qur'anic values ​​to life contextually.

Abstract

This study focuses on the leadership aspect of Muhammadiyah by emphasizing the thoughts and contributions of Haidar Nashir as the Central Board of Muhammadiyah. Therefore, this study relies on written sources, especially those written by Haidar Nashir. Religious moderation is a prominent theme in Indonesia at the end of the second decade of the 2000s. Not only is it the idea of ​​a thinker or intellectual, but it has even become one of the strategic development policies in Indonesia as stated in the 2020-2024 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJM) prepared by the Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning/ National Development Planning Agency (PPN/Bappenas), based on Presidential Regulation No. 18 of 2020. The Ministry of Religion, as the technical ministry in charge of religious life, has published several documents related to religious moderation. As one of the moderate Islamic religious organizations and movements, Muhammadiyah is an interesting subject of study to examine its links and continuity with the idea of ​​religious moderation. Rather than as a normative study in the field of law that uses legislation as primary material, this study seeks to reveal the substantive aspects of the religious moderation policy linked to Muhammadiyah's efforts to strengthen and institutionalize religious moderation in Muhammadiyah. The results of this study will later show that the appearance of Muhammadiyah as a moderate Islamic ideology, organization, and movement cannot be separated from the figure of the Muhammadiyah leader, who has a strong, moderate character.

Abstract

This study focuses on the identity and ideological orientation of two Islamic political parties, as well as their steps towards ideological moderation and specific electoral strategies within the political landscapes of two different countries. This is a library-based research that explores the identity of political Islam ideology in secular democracies, utilizing a combination of historical and political approaches. The sources include literature and writings about political Islam groups in Indonesia and Turkey, specifically PKS and AKP, derived from reputable books and scholarly articles. The study concludes that both PKS and AKP are moderate in ideology and politics. PKS, especially in post-New Order, transformed through moderation and inclusion, maintaining its Islamist identity while forming coalitions with nationalist parties for survival. Meanwhile, AKP combines moderate Islamism with conservative democracy, though Erdogan’s dominant leadership tends toward authoritarianism.

Abstract

This study examines the mechanisms for preventing illegal hajj pilgrimages at the Ministry of Religious Affairs Regional Office in East Java through a Foucauldian governmentality framework. Using a qualitative case study methodology, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 ministry officials, direct observation of regulatory practices over 6 months, and documentary analysis of ministerial regulations, standard operating procedures, and enforcement records from 2023 to 2025. Data were systematically coded to identify governmental rationalities (e.g., risk management, spiritual welfare protection), technologies of power (e.g., registration databases, site inspections), and subject positions (e.g., "responsible pilgrim," "compliant travel agency"). Findings reveal three distinct governmentality modalities comprising disciplinary mechanisms through registration systems and surveillance, sovereign interventions via legal sanctions and permit revocations, and neoliberal techniques emphasizing self-regulation, operating not as separable analytical categories but as mutually constitutive tensions in which each modality conditions the effectiveness and limits of the others. Critically, the findings reveal that these governance mechanisms are constitutively implicated in reproducing the structural conditions of quota scarcity and extended waiting periods that generate illegal market demand in the first place. This study contributes to governmentality scholarship by demonstrating that the framework requires modification in Islamic bureaucratic governance contexts: pastoral rationalities here have not been secularized but Islamicized, collective religious obligation replaces liberal individualism as the normative anchor of subjectification, and the tripartite schema functions as an assemblage of productive tensions rather than a descriptive typology, extending the framework’s analytical purchase beyond the Western liberal democratic contexts in which it was originally developed.
