Abstract

Christian Prince’s (CP) presence on YouTube opened a new chapter in Christian opposition actors who act as cross-theological debaters between Muslims and Christians who, for the previous two decades, were only dominated by Muslims. Through the narratives on YouTube, this Christian apologist tries to convince the public that the Qur’an contains contradictory statements as the holy book for Muslims. In response to such an issue, this research aims to investigate the construction of CP’s interpretation, which highlights the authenticity of the Qur’an. Qualitative content and thematic analyses and the framing approach developed by William A. Gamson were employed. Findings suggest that the representation of CP’s understanding of the Qur’an verses uses a decontextualization approach. Also, the vast knowledge of the Arabic language and literary translations further strengthen the narratives to convince the public of the allegations. However, instead of considering the historical context in understanding the scientific meaning of the Qur’an, this Christian apologist uses literal meaning as a framing device. This phenomenon has shown that cross-theological debates only provoke persistent inter-religious hatred and resentment. Therefore, such debates are inclined to trigger the propaganda of religious extremists.

Abstract

Religiousity in social media has influenced the quality of interpretation toward the editorial of the revelation, particularly in the content of Da’wa or preaching in the pocalyptic genre being popularized by Indonesian preachers via YouTube. This study aims at investigating the relationship between the practice of interpreting the Qur’an and Hadith and the impact of the distribution of apocalyptic narrative content on religious extremism on YouTube. That study is achieved by the observation using a critical analysis design which incorporates intertextuality and deconstruction approaches. This study found the practice of reducing the interpretation toward the editorial revelation in the content of da’wah in apocalyptic time. This study also demonstrated the existence of a symbiotic relationship among the practice of reducing interpretations through the use of non-authoritative sources. This type of behavior may have an impact on the spread of religious extremism narratives on YouTube. Both of those can be used by transnational jihadist extremist groups to recruit new members in Indonesia

Abstract

This paper explores Abdul Karim Soroush's contribution to the dialogue between religious and scientific knowledge and its consequences for the humanist-anthropocentric development of religious knowledge. Documentation procedures were used to collect the data, which were subsequently examined using content analysis techniques. After doing an analysis, the author draws three conclusions: Soroush first equated religious knowledge and non-religious knowledge. The two are interdependent and will continue to evolve. Therefore, Soroush encouraged conversation so that religious understanding is constantly contextual. Soroush's second argument for the interaction between religious knowledge and science was based on the principle of shrinkage and development. The doctrine of contraction and expansion was inspired by Surah al-Baqarah 245 and the Sufi tradition. Thirdly, Soroush thought religious knowledge would undergo evolution and refinement while conversing with non-religious information. It is anticipated that refining humanist-anthropocentric religious knowledge would bring practical solutions to the human problems from which this religion derives.

Abstract

This research aims to determine whether or not revivalism ideology exists among academics in Islamic higher education institutes in the province of Southeast Sulawesi. It is accomplished through the use of an exegetical reception approach of their understanding of the Āyāt at-Taḥkīm (Quran chapter al-Midah [5]:44-47). Data was gathered by combining survey technique development with in-depth interviews. The collected data was analyzed using a philosophical and phenomenological hermeneutic approach to assess the academic communitys understanding of Āyāt at-Taḥkīm. According to the survey results, Āyāt at-Taḥkīm is very popular among academics higher education institutes in Southeast Sulawesi. Most of the academic community’s information comes from religious studies on social media. They acknowledge and accept these verses as the foundation for the legitimacy of kaffah enforcement of Islamic law as the foundation for Indonesia’s political system. Meanwhile, the interviews show that most informants label those who disagree with the discourse with theological labels (kāfir and thāgūt). As a result, even though these characteristics have not reached an extreme level, their comprehension is included in the revivalism ideologys characteristics. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menakar eksistensi karakteristik ideologi revivalisme di kalangan sivitas akademika, khususnya di perguruan tinggi yang berada di wilayah provinsi Sulawesi Tenggara, Indonesia. Ini dilakukan dengan menerapkan pendekatan resepsi eksegesis atas pemahaman mereka terhadap Āyāt at-Taḥkīm (Q. al-Midah [5]:44-47). Data penelitian ini dikumpulkan melalui elaborasi antara teknik survey dan wawancara mendalam secara bersamaan. Data yang diperoleh kemudian dianalisis mengggunakan pendekatan hermeneutika filosofis dan fenomenologis guna menakar pemahaman sivitas akademika terhadap Āyāt at-Taḥkīm. Hasil survey membuktikan bahwa Āyāt at-Taḥkīm cukup populer bagi kalangan sivitas akademika di Sulawesi Tenggara. Informasi tentangnya mayoritas diakses oleh sivitas akademika dari kajian-kajian keagamaan di media sosial. Mereka mengenal dan memahami ayat-ayat itu sebagai basis legitimasi wajibnya penegakan syariat Islam secara kaffah sebagai basis sistem politik pemerintahan di Indonesia. Sedangkan hasil wawancara membuktikan bahwa mayoritas informan menggunakan label-label teologis (kafir dan thagt) terhadap orang-orang yang menolak wacana tersebut. Meskipun pemahaman mereka dapat dikategorikan mengandung karakteristik ideologi revivalisme, tetapi belum termasuk level yang ekstrem, sehingga masih berpeluang bagi mereka untuk mendapatkan pembinaan.

Abstract

This study reveals that QS. Yūsuf [12]:43-49, which has been understood as a historical narrative, contains ecological concepts that are highly relevant to the current global environmental crisis. In the story of the king's dream, interpreted by the Prophet Yusuf, about seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine, there is a lesson about the importance of sustainability strategies in managing natural resources. This study uses a ma'nā-cum-maghzā approach to interpret the historical meaning of the verse with contemporary issues such as sustainability and climate change. The results of the study show that this verse offers practical solutions in facing the ecological crisis, with an emphasis on the importance of balance between the utilisation and preservation of nature. This study enriches the discourse on Islamic ecotheology, which was previously limited to normative understanding, by providing a more in-depth and applicable interpretation. Its practical contribution is to encourage Muslims to adopt ecological principles in their daily lives and public policies that support sustainability. Further research could explore the application of ecological concepts in global policies, particularly those related to climate change mitigation and sustainability.
