Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the persistent tension between religion and science in Indonesia, as different perspectives have emerged on issues such as vaccination, restrictions on worship, and public health protocols. This moment of crisis underscores the broader epistemological gulf between religious belief and scientific reasoning, reigniting the debate about their respective roles in addressing existential and social challenges. Responding to this complex landscape, Haidar Bagir and Ulil Abshar Abdalla have articulated two conceptual frameworks of religious science and scientific religion that aim to redefine the relationship between religion and science. This article critically analyzes the arguments using John Haught’s taxonomy of conflict, contrast, contact, and confirmation. Haidar Bagir’s views emphasize respectful differentiation and dialogical engagement in the form of contrast and contact, while Ulil Abshar Abdalla envisions a more harmonious interaction that affirms mutual legitimacy in the form of confirmation. Both thinkers reject the absolutism of modern scientism and call for religious thought to be more responsive to scientific developments. This study highlights the urgency of fostering epistemological synergy so that religion and science can face the ethical and intellectual challenges of our time together.

Abstract

This article analyzes the construction of digital patriarchy in Islamic moral discourse through the use of hadith about dayyūth on the Instagram account @mahasiswa.salaf using Robert N. Entman's Framing Analysis framework. In the context of social media as a space for contesting religious authority, this hadith not only functions as a source of family ethics but also as an ideological instrument that shapes moral boundaries and gender relations. Through Entman's four dimensions, such as problem definition, diagnosis of causes, moral judgment, and treatment recommendation, this article shows that the account defines moral threats as the result of men's negligence in protecting family honor, judges such behavior as a sin that blocks the path to heaven, and recommends male control over women as a solution. These findings reveal that religious narratives in digital spaces reinforce patriarchal hegemony through textual legitimation, but also open up space for resistance through audience interactions that challenge conservative interpretations with arguments for gender equality. This article contributes to the study of digital religion and Islamic gender studies by emphasizing the need for a reinterpretation of hadith based on social ethics that emphasize collective moral responsibility, the value of raḥmah, and justice in an increasingly ideological and fragmented digital religious ecosystem.
ACHIEVING TRUE HAPPINESS: A STUDY OF MUHAMMAD HOSSEIN TABATABAI’S PHILOSOPHICAL-MYSTICAL THOUGHT Zamzami, Mukhammad; Hosseinieskandian, Abdullah; Zuhri, Achmad Muhibin; Haidary, Abdullah Haq Al; Babaei, Ali

Abstract

The question of what constitutes true happiness has been a core philosophical issue that has warranted multiple attempts in the attempt to provide a final answer, either from a purely religious or philosophical perspective. The issue of happiness is closely connected to the meaning of life and its ultimate outcome and purpose. The modern Muslim philosopher Muhammad Hossein Tabatabai discussed the nature of happiness at length. In his view, human beings instinctively strive to attain happiness or the ultimate good which can only be achieved through nearness to God. Therefore, true happiness requires the believer to commit righteous deeds and avoid sinful acts. This study follows a philosophical-Sufi approach and uses a descriptive-analytical method to examine the nature of happiness, the relationship between happiness, goodness and pleasure according to Tabatabai. In line with Islamic thought, true and lasting happiness can only be attained in the Hereafter, and happiness in this life, no matter how acutely and deeply felt, is merely a shadow of the true happiness of the believers who have attained God’s permission to enter Paradise.

Abstract

Artikel ini mengulas sepak terjang organisasi keislaman yang dibentuk elite kiai dan lora di Pamekasan, yakni Forum Kiai Muda (FKM), di mana produksi pemikiran dan gerakan keagamaannya yang Islamis dapat mengorganisir massa secara masif dan mampu membentuk sektarianisme berlapis di Pamekasan Madura. Sebagai gerakan keagamaan Islam, visi FKM adalah mengantisipasi dan menghindarkan wilayah Madura dari segala bentuk deviasi ajaran dan paham kegamaaan. Terdapat empat jenis penyimpangan keagamaan yang menjadi sasaran utama, yakni Shî‘ah, Wahabi, Liberal, dan penistaan agama, yang kemudian disingkat oleh mereka menjadi SYIBILIP. Keempat pemahaman ini adalah musuh besar. Adapun menyebut FKM sebagai ormas keagamaan yang bergerak di wilayah politis merujuk pada peran dan fungsi strategis mereka yang aktif melibatkan diri dalam banyak dinamika politik, baik di level daerah maupun pusat. Di level daerah, peran dan fungsi strategis politik FKM terilustrasi secara jelas dalam kerja sama politik yang mereka bangun bersama elit partai politik di tingkat daerah. Kata Kunci: Forum Kiai Muda (FKM); Islamisme; gerakan. Abstract: This article analyzes the activities of Islamic organizations formed by the elite kiai and lora in Pamekasan, namely the Forum Kiai Muda (FKM) Madura, where the production of Islamic religious thoughts and movements can organize massively and is able to form layered sectarianism in Pamekasan Madura. As an Islamic religious movement, FKM’s vision is to anticipate and avoid the Madura region from all forms of teaching deviations and understanding congregation. There are four types of religious irregularities that are the main targets, namely Shî‘ah, Wahabi, Liberal, and blasphemy, which they later abbreviate as SYIBILIP. These four understandings are great enemies for Islam. The mention of FKM as a religious mass organization that moves in the political area refers to their strategic roles and functions that actively involve themselves in many political dynamics, both at the regional and central levels. At the regional level, FKM’s political strategic roles and functions are clearly illustrated in the political cooperation they have built with political party elites at the regional level. Keywords: Kiai Muda Forum (FKM); Islamism; movement.

Abstract

This study analyzes how digital da‘wah constructs the relationship between hadith and science, applying John F. Haught’s typology as an analytical lens. As digital platforms increasingly shape the circulation of religious knowledge, the boundaries between revelation and scientific rationality become blurred, requiring closer attention to how authority is produced online. Through qualitative observations of several accounts on Instagram (@nurliya_alqurantulis), TikTok (@1menittojannah, @hadidjayatech, and @edimujiono19), and Facebook (Zulfa Khairi and Arie Elreal), this study shows that science functions less as an epistemic partner and more as a symbolic tool. The discourse loosely aligns with Haught’s confirmation and conflict models but does so superficially, using scientific references as legitimizing devices that reinforce scriptural authority rather than fostering meaningful dialogue. This shift, from a hermeneutical paradigm of ta’wil to a digital-verificative paradigm, suggests that religious truth is increasingly constructed through visual performance and rapid verification logics. The study’s contribution lies in the formulation of the concept of virtual scientific apologetics, namely a pattern of faith-defense within digital culture in which scientific symbols are mobilized to construct an image of religious modernity, thereby reducing the methodological autonomy of science. The concept enriches the epistemic transformation in contemporary Islamic digital discourses in Indonesia. It also offers a critical analysis of representational tendencies that reduce science to a mere instrument for legitimizing doctrine.
CONTESTING INFIDELITY AND RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY IN DIGITAL INDONESIA: The Discursive Contestation of the Hadith al-Ḥamw al-Mawt on Social Media Zairina, Wardah; Zamzami, Mukhammad; Muktafi, Muktafi; Albaar, Abdullah; Hegazy, Wael

Abstract

This study examines the discursive contestation surrounding the hadith al-Ḥamw al-Mawt (The in-law is Death) within Indonesian digital Islam. Drawing on Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis approach and Campbell's theory of Digital Religion, the study analyzes the Instagram-based da‘wah content produced by the account @ismaelkholilie as a site where religious meaning and authority are actively constructed and contested. It argues that the hadith is recontextualized from a classical moral injunction into a digital narrative addressing infidelity, family ethics, and mahram boundaries in contemporary Muslim households. The findings demonstrate that social media functions not merely as a medium of religious dissemination but as a discursive arena in religious authority negotiated and reconfigured through digital credibility, algorithmic visibility, and audience interactivity. By situating Indonesia as a critical site of digital religious practice, this article contributes to broader debates on religious authority and meaning-making in Digital Islam.Keywords: Digital hadith, infidelity, al-Ḥamw al-Mawt, religious authority, digital religion

Abstract

This article problematizes the use of satirical narratives in TikTok-based digital da'wah that quote hadiths on the hijab, focusing on how satire functions both as moral critique and as a mechanism for producing stigma against Muslim women. This study examines how the TikTok account @musuhwanita constructs discourse through hadith-based satire and how these narratives shape social relations between men and women as well as configurations of religious authority in digital spaces. The central research question asks how discursive structures, social cognition, and ideological contexts operate in the satirical representation of the hijab. Empirically, the study is limited to an analysis of video content and audience comments published between August and September 2024, employing Teun A. van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis. This analysis is conducted from an Islamic normative perspective grounded in the principles of amr ma'ruf nahy munkar and da'wah digital ethics. This study contributes to digital Islamic studies by demonstrating how satirical da'wah reproduces and negotiates the meanings of hadith, hijab, and the representation of Muslim women within contemporary configurations of online religious authority.

Abstract

The digital reproduction of weakly authenticated hadiths used to support the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM/C) exacerbates health risks. It reinforces patriarchal bias within Muslim communities, thereby eroding gender justice and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah amidst the democratization of religious authority on social media. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) has designated FGM/C as a harmful practice with serious medical and psychological consequences, some Indonesian Muslim groups continue to perpetuate it through cultural and religious legitimacy, creating tensions between textual tradition, human rights principles, and the dynamics of online discourse. This study addresses this gap by analyzing hadith narratives on the Instagram account @halalcorner, integrating hadith criticism and digital netnography to explore the negotiation of religious authority. Using a qualitative-descriptive netnography approach, data were collected through non-participant observation (March–August 2025) of 12 core posts, 1,256 user comments, and multimodal elements, with purposive sampling based on keywords and engagement levels. The analysis followed Kozinets’ four-stage model (investigation, immersion, interaction, integration), with validity maintained through methodological, researcher, and theoretical triangulation, as well as Cohen’s kappa calculation (yielding 85% agreement), peer debriefing, and an audit trail. The findings reveal a dominance of pro-circumcision narratives (70%), followed by opposition narratives (15%) and neutral narratives (15%). The cited hadith tend to emphasize the notion of ​​ṭahārah rather than legal prescriptions, revealing interpretive biases that contradict the protection of life and lineage. By drawing on feminist theology and digital religion theory, this study underscores the need for online discourse that is more reflective, humanistic, and aligned with Islam’s vision as a mercy for all creation.
