Abstract

This paper aims to fill the gap in the study of tarekat (Sufi orders) and politics in Indonesia. It specifically wants to reveal the determination of the tarekat network and movement within Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and their influence on the socio-political dynamics of this organization. The hypothesis that underlies this paper is that tarekat not only has religious potential, but also holds social, political, economic, and cultural potential. Socio-religiously, tarekat becomes a medium for instilling and transmitting religious values; it becomes a transmitter for ethical and spiritual values in society. Meanwhile, institutionally, tarekat is also a vehicle for articulating social interests and power. In this sense, the tarekat figures are not only active in religious activities but also able to form and be involved in the political arena. They created undercurrents to promote democratization and even collaborated with power holders to control political agendas and respond to socio-religious issues. The 2019 electoral political contestation shows that NU has succeeded in becoming the channel for democratic forces when competing with the forces of Islamism. Next, this study also indicates that the tarekat networks, as a force that can gather spiritual and political support, make NU a socio-religious organization that helps determine politics in Indonesia. Using Bourdieu's theoretical framework of social capital, this paper shows that the tarekat movement, as a religious institution in dialectic with social and political situations, will be primarily determined by habitus, capital, and arena. In general, these findings imply that the conception of tarekat often seen as apolitical mysticism needs to be reviewed and reconceptualized since, in fact, it is socio-politically relevant.

Abstract

The harmonious relationship between humans and their environment can be likened to a mutually beneficial relationship. This perspective views humans as an inseparable element of their environment, with an emphasis on the human obligation to care for and ensure the survival of nature. In return, nature will provide benefits to fulfil human needs. This research aims to actualise ecological verses in human life and produce the proposition of theological insanity from the perspective of the Quran. The following research method is a qualitative approach focusing on library research. As a guide and reference, it uses library data sources. When viewed from the method of analysis, it can be classified as descriptive research that describes information based on events and facts and relates it to explanations from related sources according to the topic of this research. In analysing Quranic interpretation, the following includes thematic or maudhûi interpretation research, with steps, namely collecting Quranic verses related to humans, the environment and nature. Furthermore, it provides interpretation and understanding of the verses in question through the application of various contemporary interpretation sources combined with other sources. This research produces a proposition of ecological human character in the Quran, which includes Khalifah, Hikmah, and Mizan. Thus, three things are interrelated to create the character of the rahmatan li al 'alamin people.

Abstract

This study comes from the wide and huge effect of the pandemic Covid-19 in almost all aspects of human life. The over-reaction and various responses from society bring polemic in mitigation works that the number of infected patients by Covid-19 virus raise from time to time. Islam has actually paid attention to the problem of pandemics and epidemics as explained in the Qur’an and Hadith. On the other hand, Indonesian Muslim society has a strong tendency to the Qur’an as the main source of life teaching and guidance. Therefore, the interpretation on Qur’anic verses related to pandemic mitigation in the book of Tafsīr Nusantara, that is Tafsīr Marāḥ Labīdh written by Syaikh Nawawī al-Bantanī and its relevance in the present context. This is a qualitative study that uses the inductive method and contextual approach to explain the interpretation. At last, this study infers some conclusions. First, Syaikh Nawawī sees the pandemics and epidemics as the examination and test (muṣībah) from Allah SWT to all humankind. Second, Syaikh Nawawī explains that the Qur’ān orders humans to be alert to the coming pandemic and plague in the same manner as the act of facing the coming of enemies in war.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of the jilbāb in Indonesia, exploring its evolution from pre-Islamic head-covering traditions to its current role as a symbol of piety, resistance, and cultural identity. Through a qualitative historical analysis combined with Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the study traces the dynamic interaction of cultural, religious, and political factors that have shaped the jilbāb over time. The results show that local practices such as rimpu in Bima, tudung among the Bugis, and tengkuluk in Jambi were integrated into Islamic norms, creating hybrid forms of modest dress. The New Order regime’s prohibition of the jilbāb in public schools politicized the garment, transforming it into a symbol of resistance against state control. In the Reformasi era, greater civil liberties and the rise of Islamic movements led to the resurgence of the jilbāb as a symbol of religious identity, while also being commodified in the expanding Muslim fashion industry. This study demonstrates that the jilbāb in Indonesia is not a static symbol but one that has been continuously reshaped by political, cultural, and religious forces. By offering a diachronic analysis of the jilbāb, this research contributes to broader discussions on religious symbolism, gender norms, and the role of modest dress in Indonesian society, highlighting its significance as both a personal and political statement.
