Abstract

This paper explores the social life of smell in the early period of Islam. It is part of the efforts to awaken the historical awareness of the senses in the discipline of Islamic history and to contribute to the emerging field of sensory studies in which the senses are incorporated into our understanding of the past. The study applies the sensory history technique in investigating the context in which Muslim noses smelled in the past; in particular, their use of aromatic materials. The main question of the study is: how did fragrance function in religious practices, and the daily lives of early Muslim society? After analyzing the Quran and the hadith as the primary sources, the study finds that religious rituals and practices have encouraged the massive use of fragrance products such as musk, ambergris, camphor, and saffron. Fragrance became one of the most needed commodities in early Muslim markets. The status of fragrance also shifted from luxury goods afforded only by the aristocrat classes as simply necessity goods due to the increase in demand by ordinary Muslims. However, the use of fragrance is also gendered. The study finds discrimination and restriction for men and women in applying perfumes. The prohibition against women from wearing strong fragrance in public was for protection, because the Arabian tribal society in the seventh century associated women with lower status, and they were more frequently subjected to sexual harassment. This initial research of the smell of fragrance is expected to broaden our horizon of how early Muslim societies lived and what their world smelled like in the past.

Abstract

The Korean Wave refers to South Korean popular culture (pop culture), which has expanded throughout Asia, Europe, and America. This Korean Wave is being propagated through the entertainment sector, including music, movies, dramas, cosmetic goods, food, and so on, and is also being aided by the increasing flow of globalization. The goal of this study is to discover what variables impact the behavior of certain UIN Ar-Raniry students who like the Korean Wave and how the conduct of some UIN Ar-Raniry students who are influenced by the Korean Wave is affected. This study employed a qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The acquired data was then examined using data analysis software. Data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing, and verification were used to examine the obtained data. The findings revealed that the effect of friends, families, and South Korean dramas presented on Indonesian private television channels influenced certain UIN Ar-Raniry students' liking of the Korean Wave. Some UIN Ar-Raniry students who were impacted by the Korean Wave may be noticed in their open conduct, use of language, style of dress, make-up and skin care, eating and food etiquette, and usage of social media. Their restricted conduct, methods of thinking and envisioning, growing knowledge or understanding, and developing self-confidence all have a shape.

Abstract

Before independence, during the Dutch era, ethnic Chinese first appeared in Langsa. Originally from the Toko Rear Area, or Chinatown Area, they are now dispersed around the city on streets such Jenderal Ahmad Yani Street, Aggusalim Street, Teuku Umar Street, Pasar Hugs, and others. The goal of this study was to learn more about the tactics used by ethnic Chinese traders in Langsa as well as the impact of their commerce on the local populace. By merging data from the literature with field research data, this study employs qualitative research. Interviews, documentation, and non-participant observation were the methods employed in this study. Data reduction, data presentation, and data verification are all types of data analysis techniques. The study's findings demonstrate that elements like religion, culture, (tradition and kinship), education, trade structure, and a suitable environment also have an impact on the habits, capital, and work ethic of the Chinese ethnic group in Langsa. This increased, increased, and advanced the ethnic Chinese trade, which had a significant impact on Langsa's trade growth sector. On the other hand, the influence of ethnic Chinese trade on local communities also had a positive effect, such as the lack of competition between Chinese and local traders; rather, the presence of Chinese traders makes local traders feel profitable because they can buy goods at low prices from Chinese stores. The service system is effective and welcoming, the stock is complete, and the newness of the items is assured. Many locals have also found employment in ethnic Chinese stores. A lot of local community activities, including as weddings, funerals, social meetings, and other events are also attended by ethnic Chinese. In addition to trade contacts, relationships with their surroundings are also firmly formed. To this day, the Chinese continue to uphold the ideals of harmony between the ethnic Chinese and the local community by remembering to give food or ampau to the local children when they celebrate festivals like Chinese New Year.

Abstract

This paper discusses how Islam is understood, taught, and practiced at the State Islamic Religious Higher Education Institution (PTKIN) in Aceh, whether the contextual approach and tolerance towards difference approach are used, whether there is any indication of the development of religious radicalism, how PTKIN in Aceh positions itself towards this problem, and also, how the environment and family play their roles on this issue. This qualitative study collected data by means of observation, in-depth interview, documentation, and focus group discussion. The data were then analyzed in the following steps:  data reduction, data display, verification, and conclusion drawing. The PTKIN selected as research sites consisted of Universitas Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh, Institut Agama Islam Negeri Zawiyah Cot Kala Langsa, and Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam Negeri Gajah Putih Takengon. In general, the findings revealed that PTKIN in Aceh has been relatively free from religious radicalism. The teaching of Islamic studies at PTKIN in Aceh still adheres to the Qur’an, Hadith and authoritative references from various sources and time periods, from classical to contemporary books, and from moderate to contextual approaches that respect differences in understanding. The small potential and threat of religious radicalism at PTKIN in Aceh, in addition to the academic system built within PTKIN itself, are influenced by the socio-cultural and political environment in Aceh which is quite accommodating to the aspirations of Islamic law. Islam in Aceh today is relatively compatible with the state because the state has given the Acehnese peoplethe right to exercise Islamic law, not only in the private sphere, but also in the public sphere. However, there is one potential threat that needs to be aware of, which is the way to commute between home and campus; and, this particular space needs to be bridged properly so that students will not be recruited by exclusive Islamic groups without the knowledge of the campus and their families.

Abstract

The implementation of the Sabang Free-Trade Zone (FTZ) has implications for the increasing distribution of illegal cigarettes in the mainland areas of Aceh. It exacerbates state financial losses, community health problems, and the workload on customs to conduct control and supervision. This qualitative study aims to explore how the Free-Trade Zone in Sabang was managed as an instrument for political concession in the Aceh conflict and its quota decision mechanism on illegal cigarettes. Using a grounded qualitative research design, we conducted 12 in-depth interviews with key stakeholders. Four important findings are reflected in this study. First, the management of the Sabang-Free Trade Zone is highly influenced by political aspects and a lack of managerial competence. Second, there is a dilemmatic perspective of the conflicting parties regarding the Sabang FTZ. Third, the quota mechanism related to the distribution of imported cigarettes is not regulated and merely relies on importers’ requests. Lastly, the control and supervision system at the Sabang FTZ is weak. These findings are expected to serve as the foundation for policy recommendations and lessons on the illegal cigarette trade in Indonesia and other post-conflict countries, as well as free trade zones in neighbouring countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines.

The article concludes with recommendations for female celebgrams to preserve a positive image on social media and urges users to develop a critical mindset when consuming content. Furthermore, it encourages future researchers to delve deeper into this phenomenon, enriching our understanding of female celebgrams' influence on Acehnese society and culture.

Abstract

This article discussed the historiography of oil history presented in this review article. This article aimed to demonstrate that oil historians are continually conversing with one another through their publications, even if it is not always visible. This historiographical perspective was supposed to provide a valuable framework for understanding this debate. This article used descriptive analysis in analyzing data to examine major disputes in oil history and how interpretations of those debates have influenced the trajectory of oil history and diplomatic and economic events. The Prize, a famous work by Daniel Yergin, focused on the article's debate. The goal was to examine historical events or topics in oil history from many angles, drawing on several sources that have affected historians' contributions to the field. According to the article, Oil has always been linked to a quest for money and power. The global economy, the result of conflicts, and the political landscape of states were altered by this battle. This study showed that a never-ending attempt to secure Oil, as long as it is vital to human civilization, would eventually lead to wars and conflicts.

Abstract

Perkembangan pesat media sosial telah mengubah pola komunikasi publik dan memengaruhi cara otoritas keagamaan disebarluaskan dan diinterpretasikan oleh masyarakat. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana implementasi fiqh siyasah dalam Fatwa Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) Nomor 83 Tahun 2023 mengenai dukungan terhadap perjuangan Palestina dan seruan boikot produk-produk yang berafiliasi dengan Israel dibangun dan disebarluaskan melalui media sosial. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan menggunakan analisis wacana digital untuk meneliti konten terkait boikot produk Israel di platform media sosial seperti YouTube dan TikTok. Data dikumpulkan melalui pengambilan sampel bertujuan dengan memilih konten dengan tingkat interaksi tinggi dan relevansi dengan topik penelitian. Analisis dilakukan melalui tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan interpretatif. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa media sosial memainkan peran penting dalam memperkuat penyebaran fatwa sekaligus membentuk beragam respons publik. Respons-respons ini dapat dikategorikan menjadi tiga kecenderungan utama: respons normatif-religius yang memandang boikot sebagai kewajiban moral dan agama, respons pragmatis yang mempertimbangkan realitas ekonomi dan pola konsumsi global, dan respons kritis yang mempertanyakan validitas informasi mengenai produk yang diklaim berafiliasi dengan Israel. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa di era digital, fatwa tidak lagi hanya berfungsi sebagai keputusan keagamaan normatif tetapi juga berkembang menjadi wacana sosial dinamis yang dibentuk melalui interaksi publik di ruang digital. Akibatnya, implementasi fiqh siyasah dalam konteks ini telah berubah menjadi gerakan sosial digital partisipatif yang memperkuat solidaritas publik dengan perjuangan Palestina.

Abstract

The posthuman era is marked by the integration of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and digital systems that transform educational epistemology. Digitalization gives rise to algorithmic disinformation and knowledge manipulation, thus demanding an adaptive reconstruction of the epistemology of Islamic Religious Education based on reflective ethics. This study aims to analyze the Digital Neuroethics paradigm as a conceptual basis for the reconstruction of the epistemology of Islamic Religious Education and formulate its implications for strengthening the scientific framework of religious education that is adaptive to digital transformation. The study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study type. Data were obtained from journal articles, scientific books, and relevant academic documents through documentation techniques and analyzed using data reduction, thematic categorization, and conceptual interpretation. Data validity was maintained through literature triangulation and consistency of theoretical argumentation. The results show that Digital Neuroethics enables the reconstruction of the epistemology of Islamic Religious Education through the integration of revelation, reason, and digital experience as complementary sources of knowledge. This model positions revelation as an ethical orientation, reason as a critical instrument, and digital experience as a practical space for the formation of moral awareness. The implications of the research confirm the theoretical contribution in the form of developing an integrative epistemological paradigm as well as a practical contribution to strengthening the curriculum and learning strategies of Islamic Religious Education that are responsive to moral complexity in digital society.
