Abstract

This paper will look at how the explosion of militant religious activism and violence against minorities in post-Suharto Indonesia is embedded in the state’s failure to apply a proper management of religious diversity and civic pluralism. In the bottom of this issue lies controvertial Law No. 1 of 1965 on the prevention of the abuse or insulting of a religion,  known as the Blasphemy Law. Debates have abounded on the extent to which the Law has transgressed the principles of religious freedom guaranteed by the Indonesian Constitution. This paper will thus also examine petitions filed by human rights activists and civil society organizations to demand judicial reviews of the Law before the Constitutional Court[Artikel ini akan menjelaskan bagaimana militansi aktifis agama dan kekerasan terhadap minoritas pasca Soeharto yang muncul akibat kegagalan Negara dalam mengelola keragaman agama dan pluralitas masyarakat. Dasar dari persoalan ini berpangkal pada kontroversi UU No. 1 Tahun 1965 tentang Pencegahan Penyalahgunaan dan/atau Penodaan Agama atau yang dikenal dengan UU Pencemaran Agama. Perdebatan yang panjang telah mengarah pada pelanggaran prinsip hukum mengenai jaminan kebebasan agama oleh konstitusi. Artikel ini juga akan membahas petisi yang diajukan oleh aktifis HAM dan ornop untuk mengajukan judicial reviews ke Mahkamah Konstitusi.]

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze Muhammad Mahfūẓ al-Tarmasī’s concept of wali and karāma, as well as his response and position in the discourse on those issues. Drawing on historical, hermeneutics, and intertextual approach, it will elaborate his involvement in the 19th century discourse on wali and karāma, in which the Wahhabiyya’s strong influence in Mecca was taking place. In this sense, Mahfūẓ wrote a treatise on Sufism entitled Bughyat al-Adhkiyā’ fī Bahthi’an Karāmāt al-Awliyā’. Although he mastered on tasawwuf and possessed a genealogical chain to al-Ghazali, al-Qushairi and some other Sufis, he did not use their arguments. He preferred to quote the arguments of the jurists (fuqahā’), such as al-Subkī and al-Haytamī. This actually shows the strength of his work in compiling arguments using the “criticism from within” approach. He realized, to some extent, that criticism to Sufism mainly came from the jurists (fuqahā’). Therefore, in order to be easily accepted, criticizing critics needs to employ the same perspective, fuqahā’s arguments. In fact, Mahfūẓ criticism was not only directed at the jurists (fuqahā’) but also to the group which at that time were incessantly spreading the ideas delegitimizing Sufism (in the context of orthodoxy), Wahhabiyya. This can be seen clearly in the way of Mahfūẓ’s selection of figures and groups to whom he criticized. But interestingly, he delivered critics in a smooth way and did not show his finger directly to the nose of Wahhabiyya.[Tulisan ini merupakan analisis terhadap konsep wali dan karomah menurut Muhammad Mahfūẓ al-Tarmasi, serta respon dan posisinya dalam diskursus isu-isu tersebut. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan historis, hermeneutika, dan intertekstual, tulisan ini menjelaskan keterlibatannya dalam wacana abad 19 tentang wali dan karomah, di mana pengaruh kuat Wahhabiyya di Mekah tengah berlangsung. Untuk itu, Mahfūẓ menulis sebuah risalah tentang Sufisme berjudul Bughyat al-Adhkiyā’ fi Bahthi’an Karāmat al-Awliyā’. Meski ia menguasai tasawwuf dan memiliki silsilah spiritual yang sampai kepada beberapa Sufi kenamaan, namun dalam karyanya ini ia tidak menggunakan argumen-argumen mereka. Ia lebih suka mengutip argumen para ahli hukum (fuqahā’), seperti al-Subki dan al-Haytami. Ini merupakan salah satu kekuatan dari kepiawaiannya dalam menyusun argumen menggunakan pendekatan “critic from within” karena ia menyadari bahwa kritik terhadap tasawuf labih banyak berasal dari para fuqahā’. Oleh karena itu, agar mudah diterima, suatu kritik perlu menggunakan perspektif yang sama dengan sang pengkritik, dalam hal ini argumen fuqaha. Faktanya, kritik Mahfūẓ tidak hanya diarahkan pada para fuqahā’ tetapi juga kepada kelompok yang pada saat itu terus-menerus menyebarkan ide-ide delegitimasi tasawuf (dalam konteks ortodoksi), seperti Wahhabiyya. Ini dapat dilihat dengan jelas dari cara Mahfūẓ memilih tokoh dan kelompok yang ia kritik. Namun yang menarik, ia menyampaikan kritik dengan cara yang halus dan tidak secara explisit menunjuk langsung Wahhabiyya yang saat itu mulai berkuasa.]

Abstract

This article analyzes the life of young millennial Salafi-niqabi in Surakarta and their strategies in dealing with power relations in their everyday lives. Studies on Salafi in Indonesia have focused more on global Salafimovements, power politics, links with fundamentalist-radical movements, state security and criticism of Salafi religious doctrine. Although there are several studies that try to portray the daily life of this religious group, the majority of previous studies focused on formal institutions and male Salafi. Very few studies have addressed the lives of Salafi women. This is likely due to the difficulty of approaching this group because of their exclusivity, and their restrictions on interacting with the outside world. Using Macleod’s theory of ‘accommodating protest’ within the

Abstract Several studies show the presence of intolerance and Islamist attitudes strengthened among teachers and students. However, studies on ‘radicalization’ process among teenagers at school are still limited. We address the issue by analyzing intolerance tendency, examining the religious education at school and revealing the shift of intolerance tendency among students. By conducting mixed methods research in three public schools, this study uncovers seven factors that cause the shift of intolerance tendency: First, stakeholders formulate school vision which endorses religious tolerance in public schools. Second, the school policies that support pluralism and tolerance towards other differences in the school environment. Third, government and school leaders conduct training to provide teachers with knowledge to counter radical teachings. Fourth, teachers integrate local wisdoms in their teaching materials. Fifth, the student activities, particularly Islamic religious activities, which accommodate pluralism and endorse tolerance towards different religions, ethnics and cultures. Sixth, the supervision of books and materials from the internet that contain radical doctrines by parents and teachers. Seventh, involving Islamic mainstream organizations in countering radical ideology and mitigating intolerance in public schools. Regarding Islamist movements at schools, we suggest that religious education, if properly formulated can be used to counter Islamist radicalism at school effectively.Key words: Intolerance, Islamist movements, Radical ideology, Religious, Education AbstrakBeberapa studi menunjukkan adanya intoleransi dan sikap Islamis yang menguat di kalangan guru dan siswa.

Abstract

Salafism, which has thrived and exerted its influence among Indonesian Muslims since the second half of the 1980s, is not a monolithic movement. As a reconstituted form of Wahhabism, this movement has fragmented into various camps engaged in debates and competition to establish themselves as true Salafis. Embracing a position of apolitical quietism, the so-called quietists vehemently oppose the jihadists, who advocate the necessity of waging jihad against Islam’s enemies. In their perspective, Muslims should concentrate on their primary task of purifying Muslim beliefs and practices to avoid entanglement in political games. In this context, jihad is prohibited if it leads to physical violence among Muslims themselves. This paper aims to scrutinize the political contexts behind the polemics and explore how the contending parties interpret the main doctrines of Salafism, using them to justify their respective political stances. By utilizing primary sources, documentary data, and interviews with the movement’s followers, this paper argues that, despite doctrinal and ideological nuances, actors’ political interests may play a more decisive role in shaping the polemics, thus blurring their ideological boundaries.

Abstract

Purpose – This research undertakes an exploration of the factors shaping the evolution and continuity of the Islamic Cultural History (SKI) curriculum in madrasahs between 1973 and 2013. It zeroes in on five predominant influences: political, economic, social, cultural, and ideological. Design/methods/approach – A historical research method was the primary tool, with data from various written records—comprising legal documents, regulations, and textbooks. A chronological lens was employed for analysis, with categorizations influenced by pertinent regulations and the prevailing zeitgeist. Findings – Of the factors, political dimensions, especially government stances and policies, took precedence in curriculum development. Furthermore, aspects like economic strides, prevailing social conditions, and national ideologies such as Pancasila (Indonesian state philosophy) bore significance in shaping the curriculum. The insights gathered suggest a pivotal role of socio-political dynamics and scientific progress in dictating madrasah curriculum changes. Research implications/limitations – While this investigation furnishes deep insights into a specific period, its temporal scope poses limitations, suggesting a potential exploration post-2013 and scrutiny of other influencing variables.

Abstract

This study explores the complex identity negotiation of Javanese Muslims in Malaysia, focusing on their dual identity as both Javanese and Malay. Employing an ethnographic approach, the research examines how Malaysian Javanese navigate their cultural identity while integrating into the Malay society. The study reveals that Javanese descendants in Malaysia maintain their Javanese cultural identity, particularly in language and traditions, while simultaneously adapting to the Malay culture and fulfilling their obligations as Malaysian citizens. The process of identity reconstruction has led to the emergence of a hybrid identity, which is influenced by the interactions between Javanese and Malay cultures, as well as the prevailing policies, religion, and nationalism in Malaysia. The findings contribute to the understanding of identity construction and negotiation among diaspora communities in multicultural societies.
