Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of praxis in the formation of religious authority. Although not fully acknowledged in Islam, the separation of religious from non-religious domains has become sharper and more clearly discernable in modern society. Accordingly, it is relevant to ask how praxis in the politico-economic and socio-cultural domains is evaluated in Islamic terms and what roles it plays in accessing religious legitimacy and leadership. The focus of this study is on Ahmad Dahlan, the founder of an Islamic mass-organization in Indonesia, the Muhammadiyah. Examination of his background reveals that he was not equipped with the traditional sources of authority.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v17i1.468

Abstract

This article highlights the weaknesses in the formalistic approach to Islamic finance which deals mainly with shariah compliance. This research examines religious elements  that consist in the operations of the Indonesian Islamic microfinance institution by criticizing it for the costs of transactions, the composition of contracts, and the procedures for murābaḥah (working capital finance). Acknowledging that shariah principles were compromised  to some extent, the BMT’s employees did not question the Islamic character and identity of the BMT.  Highlighting their commitments to improving the economic conditions of the Muslim community, active involvement in charity and socio-religious works, business practices caring for the unfortunate people, and their Islamic networks, the employees believe that the BMT has implemented Islamic values. For them, Islamic finance is not only attributed to sharia compliance, but it must also contain a wide range of religious tendencies and practices. By stressing the importance of the aspirations and commitments of Muslim activists, this paper widens the discussion of how to vitalize Islamic finance.

Abstract

Muhammadiyah advocates for the equal and rational standing of Muslims, underscoring that judgment lies solely with Allah and discouraging hierarchical leadership privileges. This viewpoint permeates its organizational structure, portraying leaders as dedicated members without elevated status. Alongside its emphasis on egalitarianism and rationality, Muhammadiyah has developed organizational mechanisms, aimed at preventing the concentration of religious authority in the hands of popular leaders. The article explores two of these mechanisms, collegial leadership and elections. Collegial leadership establishes a collective oversight body, ensuring equal rights for each leader. The unique election system, requiring the choice of thirteen candidates, prevents individual dominance and a potential landslide victory. By minimizing differences, emphasizing similarities, and discouraging the showcasing of individual merits and popularity, these mechanisms effectively diffuse religious authority within Muhammadiyah’s leadership.
