Abstract

Makalah ini membahas pemikiran para sufi mengenai terminology qurbā (kedekatan) dalam kaitannya dengan wacana walāya (ke-wali-an). Dalam literatur sufi kata-kala qurbā sering dihubunglan dengan ide mengenai cinta  (maḥabba), rindu (shauq), dan keintiman (uzs). secara spesifik makalah ini mengangkat pemikiran tiga orang sufi besar, yaitu al-Tirmidhi (w. 905), al-Niffari (w. 965) dan Ibn al-'Arabi (w.1240). Al-Tirmidhī setelah membedakan dua jenis wali; wali haqq Allah dan wali Allah, mengatakan bahwa tahapan tertinggi yang dapat dicapai oleh seorang wali haqq Allah adalah maqam yang disebut maḥall al-qurbā tempat kedekatan. Pada posisi tersebut seorang wali dapat menerima pancaran nur al- qurbā dari Allah, sehingga ia tetap dapat mengontrol hawa nafsunya. Al-Niffari menghubungkan pendapatnya mengenai ide qurbā ini dengan fase-fase pemberhentian (mawāqib) yang ia lalui sebagai seorang sufi. Menurutnya mawāqib qurbā ada pada urutan kedua, dan hanya dapat dicapai oleh mereka yang selalu menjauhkan diri dari godaan dunia (zuhd). Sedangkan Ibn al-'Arabi, pemikiran mengenai qurbā ini tidak dapat dipisahkan dengan walāya (kewalian) dan nubuwwa (kenabian). Maqām qurbā menurutnya terletak di antara kedudukan para nabi pembawa shari'at (nubuwwat al-tashri') dan para pembenar nabi yang pernah iman (ṣiddiqiya). Di tempat kedekatan ini (maḥall al-qurbā), seseorang dapat bertemu secara langsung dengan malaikat yang suci.

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 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 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.
