Abstract

This article deals with varieties of epistemological methods in calculating days of lunar calendar (hijri), mainly on the beginning date of months. Examining different methods in Indonesian Islamic-scape, it argues that there are three epistemological models which are rooted at Islamic classical epistemologies; the ahl al-hadith (textualist), the ahl al-ra‎y (contextualist), and the intuitive sufi. The ahl al-hadith emphasizes on the empirical rukyatul-hilal (witnessing the moon), whereas the ahl al-ra’y strongly concerns on the mathematically rational method. The sufi, not so popular in Indonesia but influential in some sufi circles, deploys the intuitive kashf (uncovering) method. In some cases, these three are however intertwined and in contradiction one to another. The article futher argues that different method-in-use is strongly influenced the local spesificties of diverse Indonesian Muslim’s backgrounds, and groupings.

Abstract

Renewal of marriage is one of the phenomena that exists in Muslim society in Indonesia. This phenomenon arises because of several factors, including poor conditions in the family, traditions, and so on. The investigation focused on the practice of marriage renewal in the village of Kemasantani, performing interpretations of their behavior and a thorough analysis of the views of the public and scholars about marriage. The methods used are interviews and literary studies. The results of the research show that the view of the Java people who practise the renewal of marriage is based on the belief that marriage was a worship that could be used as a means of prayer to God to obtain desire. First, scholars who consider marriage renewal can cancel the previous contract because it is a recognition (iqrar) of divorce. Second, scholars who consider that the renewal of marriage does not damage (faskh) the previous contract is analogous to the practice of the companions repeating bay'at by Companion to the Prophet PBUH. In addition, marriage renewal is informing (ikhbar), strengthening (ta'kid), embellishing (tajammul), and prudence (ikhtiyath).

Masyarakat Jawa memiliki tradisi warisan leluhur yang sampai sekarang masih dlestarikan yaitu ritual ruwatan. Ritual ini adalah sarana masyarakat Jawa untuk memohon kepada Tuhan agar terhindar dari bencana. Salah satu masyarakat Jawa yang masih melakukan ini adalah masyarakat Desa Jombok Ngoro Jombang Jawa Timur. Di antara ritual ruwatan yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat desa Jombok adalah ruwatan perkawinan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adaalaah wawancara dan penellusuran literatur. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Ritual ruwatan juga dilakukan oranng tua untuk anaknya yang akan menikah, meskipun juga dilakukan untuk hal-hal yang lain. Prosesi ritual tersebut membutuhkan beberapa barang-barang yang digunakan sebagai simboolisasi harapan kepada Tuhan. Bagi masyarakat desa Jombok setiap barang memiliki makna filosofisnya seendiri. Ritual ruwatan tersebut merupakan perpaduan antara mitos Jawa Hindu dengan latar belakaan kisah Bathara Kala yang mencari korban disertai religi Islam dengan memanjatkan doa kepada Allah SWT yang disertai bertawasul dengan Nabi Muhammad, malaikat Jibril dan surat al-Ikhlas. Proses integrasi ini menunjukkan bahwa orang Jawa sangat pandai meramu ajaran leluhur yang bernuansa Hindu-Kapitayan dengan nilai-nilai keislaman.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the government's efforts and effectiveness in establishing itself as the sole religious authority in determining the beginning of the Islamic month. This qualitative study utilizes data from news sources, official decisions, and government activities related to setting the Islamic calendar, as well as fatwas from the Indonesian Ulema Council. Additionally, it presents the community's response, particularly from religious organizations, to the government's role in this matter. Drawing on Ismail Fajrie Alatas's theory of religious authority, which suggests that religious authority is shaped by a connection to the prophetic tradition and by fostering intellectual and emotional bonds with the community through service and outreach, the study finds that the government's effort to become the exclusive religious authority has encountered challenges. While the government aligns with the prophetic tradition by employing the ru'yah method (crescent sighting), based on authentic hadiths and followed by the majority of Muslims, the lack of intellectual and emotional connection with certain groups—such as Muhammadiyah and other religious congregations—leads them to resist the government's stance. In contrast, communities with closer intellectual and emotional ties to the government, like Nahdlatul Ulama, are more likely to align with its decisions. In the complex landscape of religious authority in Indonesia, the government navigates various roles, including tolerance, intervention, negotiation, and accommodation.

Abstract

This article examines the paradigm shift in determining the start of the Islamic month, driven by advancements in science and technology. Initially, Muslims relied on moon sighting (rukyat al-hilāl), but the mastery of mathematics and astronomy led some to adopt calculations (ḥisāb). The study focuses on the differing approaches of the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Baḥṣul Masāil and the Muhammadiyah Tarjih forum. With the advent of computers and the internet, Muhammadiyah embraced ḥisāb and the global Islamic calendar. Meanwhile, NU integrates traditional rukyat with modern tools like mathematics, computers, and photographic technology while maintaining a regional calendar. These differences highlight Muhammadiyah’s modernist paradigm and NU’s eclectic approach, blending tradition with modernity.

Abstract

Fitrah Zakat plays a central role as an obligatory duty that cannot be ignored. Fitrah zakat is a mandatory contribution for every individual in the Muslim community, known as (zakat al-nafs). It must be distributed accurately to those entitled (mustahiq), ensuring the goal of meeting the needs of the mustahiq during festive occasions is achieved. This research is motivated by the zakat distribution practices in Pojok Village, where several hamlets distribute zakat evenly among the local community. The study critically examines the concept of negotiating zakat distribution within Islamic law, particularly through the principle of "harmony." The research employs qualitative and field research methods, gathering data through direct field observations and deductive analysis. Primary data sources include interview results, supplemented by secondary data from relevant literature. Data collection techniques involve observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques include data verification and presentation, with data validity ensured through triangulation and extended research.

Abstract

Ilmu Falak merupakan ilmu Eksakta yang menjadi bahan kajian dalam studi Islam. Hal ini disebabkn karena Ilmu Falak merupakan ilmu bantu yang terkait dengan beberapa ibadah umat Islam seperti penentuan arah kiblat, waktu sholat, dan awal bulan Islam. Seiring berkembangnya sains dan teknologi dan studi sosial humaniora dengan pendekatan multi disipliner dengan dibukanya jurusan ilmu Falak di beberapa perguruan tinggi Islam, Ilmu falak mulai menjadi bahan kajian menarik yang dapat ditinjau dari berbagai pendekatan. Penelitian ini mengkaji berbagai model pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ilmu Falak di Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelusuran literatur terkait ilmu Falak. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam penelitian Ilmu Falak di Indonesia Ilmu Falak terkadang menjadi sebuah pendekatan dan terkadang menjadi objek kajian yang ditinjau dengan pendekatan lain seperti pendekatan normatif seperti fikih dan tafsir dan pendekatan sosiologis seperti sosiologi, antropologi, sejarah, gender dan lain-lain. Selain itu para peneliti terkadang kreatif dengan mengkaji ilmu Falak dengan beberapa pendekatan lain misalnya pendekatan arsitektur.

Abstract

Epistemic contestation in determining the position of the sun at fajr (dawn) in Indonesia occurred between Muhammadiyah and the Ministry of Religion as government representatives supported by Nahdlatul Ulama. This contestation pattern is in the form of a correction by Muhammadiyah to morning twilight criteria set by the Ministry of Religion. The government stipulated that the height of the sun at dawn is -20o while Muhammadiyah stated that the height of the sun should be 18o. Muhammadiyah's correction was based on research by the Muhammadiyah research team. Then the Ministry of Religion formed a research team that found that the sun's height at dawn is -20o. The Muhammadiyah research team falsified the findings of the Ministry of Religion team because the data is considered manipulative. The Ministry of Religion then responded with follow-up research elsewhere. Nahdlatul Ulama took part in this contest by forming a research team whose results contradicted the results of the Muhammadiyah yet strengthened the Ministry of Religion's decision regarding the morning twilight criteria. The contestation does not lead to an epistemic meeting point. Although both parties used the same method, namely empirical observations in the field, the pre-assumptions at the time of the research led to different conclusions.

Abstract

This paper aims to look at the construction of gender equality in family guidance and counselling. The construction of gender equality in the family aims as a preventive measure against family problems. This is a pattern and strategy to respond to various family problems caused by gender inequality, such as domestic violence. Through this problem, the Islamic Religious Extension Communication Forum (FKPAI) has a gender equality-based family guidance and counselling curriculum. In order to see the pattern and construction of gender equality in family guidance and counselling by FKPAI, this paper uses a qualitative method through a case study presented through descriptive techniques and content analysis as a data analysis method. The findings in this paper show that the pattern of guidance and counselling of FKPAI of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Tulungagung and Trenggalek Regency prioritises the approach aspect. The construction of gender equality in marriage guidance and counselling by FKPAI is based on the fact that gender equality has been able to become a preventive aspect of family problems.
