Abstract

This article examines the life and legacy of Tuan Guru Imam Abdullah bin Qadi Abdussalam, a noble ulama from the Sultanate of Tidore exiled by the VOC to South Africa in the 18th century, from a historical anthropology perspective. Born in Tidore (1712) and died in Cape Town (1807), he represents the complexity of encounters between local identity, colonial politics, and Islamic knowledge transmission across continents. Using Ortner’s “serious games” framework and Kottak’s concept of enculturation, this article identifies three dimensions of Tuan Guru’s contribution. First, as a diasporic subject, he transformed from Tidore prince to religious authority in exile. His childhood enculturation in Tidore shaped his learning capacity, later reproduced in South Africa. Second, as an agent of knowledge transmission, he demonstrated two faces of agency: agency-as-power through symbolic resistance to colonialism, and agency-as-projects through reproducing Nusantara Islamic tradition—writing six Qur’anic manuscripts from memory, the theological work Ma’rifat al-Islam wa al-Iman, and establishing the first madrasah and mosque in Cape Town. Third, as cultural legacy, he became a symbol of struggle honored across generations—from Nelson Mandela’s pilgrimage to his grave to contemporary discourse on proposing him as an Indonesian National Hero. This article argues that Tuan Guru actively played his own “serious games” under colonial pressure, building Islamic institutions foundational for Cape Town’s Muslim community today. This research contributes to understanding Nusantara diaspora dynamics and identity negotiation at the intersection of locality, colonialism, and globalization.

Abstract

This research analyzes Indonesia-Palestine relations through the perspective of anthropology of friendship, highlighting how friendships are built, maintained, and mobilized in conditions of insecurity, political ambiguity, and structural violence. Through the study of tricky trust, careful involvement, collective effervescence, and symbolic interaction theory, this paper argues that this relationship cannot be reduced solely to formal diplomatic relations or incidental political solidarity. Rather, it is a form of collective friendship rooted in the experience of colonialism, the suffering experienced by both nations, and a sustained commitment to global justice. Through qualitative analysis of literature, participatory observation of Palestinian solidarity events in Indonesia, and discussions with Palestinian clerics, this paper shows that friendship functions as an alternative relational mechanism. These interactions maintain a collective orientation and serve as moral support when international law and humanitarian regimes face failure or limitations in the context of unequal conflicts. Thus, the findings of this article expand the scope of the anthropology of friendship, which usually focuses on the interpersonal realm, by showing that bonds of friendship can operate at the collective, community, and even transnational levels, offering a new perspective for understanding the dynamics of solidarity in global politics.

Abstract

The role of religious actors in shaping transnational solidarity is often overlooked in state‑centric analyses of international relations. This article addresses this gap by examining the typologies of agency among actors of the Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) in defending Palestine. Using a qualitative‑interpretative approach, the research analyses MUI’s fatwas, public statements, and actions, alongside ethnographic observations from the “Safari Ramadhan: Membasuh Luka Palestina” program. Drawing on Ortner’s concept of power and project agency, Vorhölter’s understanding of agency as socio-culturally mediated capacity, Talal Asad’s notion of Islam as a discursive tradition, and related debates in the anthropology of Islam, the findings reveal three interconnected typologies of agency: First, moral-theological agency enables MUI actors to transform political solidarity into a sacred obligation through the fatwa on fard kifayah (communal obligation). Second, relational-historical agency allows them to activate shared historical memory, anti-colonial narratives, and the symbolic centrality of Al-Aqsa to construct transnational solidarity. Third, practical-strategic agency enables them to navigate geopolitical uncertainty and materialise solidarity through humanitarian programs, grassroots mobilisation, digital activism, and boycotts. The study contributes to the anthropology of religion by showing how religious actors exercise multiple forms of agency in building transnational solidarity, situating their actions within a discursive tradition that defies simplistic secular‑religious binaries.

Abstract

Digital technologies have transformed Islamic communication by expanding da’wah beyond localised religious preaching into transnational digital spaces where religious narratives intersect with global cultural and political perceptions. While existing studies have examined digital da’wah primarily as a pedagogical, sociological, or media phenomenon, its potential role as a source of attraction-based influence remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by conceptualising digital da’wah as a form of Islamic soft power operating within contemporary digital environments. Using a qualitative literature review and conceptual synthesis, the article integrates soft power theory with scholarship on digital Islamic communication, religious moderation, and platform governance. The analysis develops a conceptual model that illustrates how platform dynamics mediate digital da’wah narratives, as interpreted through audience reception and translated into soft power outcomes such as cultural attractiveness, moral legitimacy, and narrative influence. The findings demonstrate that moderation-oriented digital da’wah, when supported by ethical credibility and algorithmic visibility, contributes to shaping global perceptions of Islam through non-coercive means. This study advances theoretical discussions by positioning digital religious communication as a legitimate domain of soft power analysis and offers a framework for examining religion’s role in global symbolic politics.

Abstract

This paper explores the historical ties between Indonesia and Malaysia by tracing the European pursuit of spices, which led to colonial domination in the region. Central to this history is the strategic role of the Strait of Malacca as a vital corridor for trade and cultural exchange, and the significance of Ternate's spices as a highly valued commodity. These interactions brought together diverse ethnic groups—including Malay and European traders—forming a foundation of cooperation that can inspire present and future relations. Following the end of colonialism, Indonesia and Malaysia, as part of the broader Malay world, embarked on a quest for national and collective identity. Shared cultural, linguistic, historical, and religious ties offer valuable social capital that can be leveraged to foster deeper regional collaboration. This paper argues that revisiting and revitalizing shared historical narratives—especially through joint academic, civil society, and community-based initiatives—can enhance mutual understanding and cooperation. In an increasingly globalized world, drawing on this common past can contribute to building a more stable and integrated future for Indonesia, Malaysia, and the wider Malay world.
