Abstract

The extent of religious values and symbols in encompassing the direction of Indonesian nation state from the beginning of modern Indonesian history was the most popular determinant contestation in Indonesian political activism along with the emergence of the new sentiments of nationalism and anti-colonialism.  Following the embracement of Pancasila (the Five Principles) as the state socio-political foundation, Indonesia would be neither a secular state in which religion was absolutely separated from the state, nor a religious one where the state was organized on one particular faith.  Bearing in mind that religion is very important in the state system, the state normatively defines its role on religious affair, as clearly outlines in the Constitution, paving the way for the government to take religious affairs as part of its service. For many decades, the government is very active to promote religious toleration among the communities given to the heterogeneities of religious groups in Indonesia.  Implicit here is the importance of a well-grounded policy that continually balances the degree of level of contribution of religious groups in forming a unique Indonesian identity. Hence when Indonesian people identify themselves with particular religious grouping, it does not mean that they have less loyalty to Indonesian nation- statehood. It seems clear that retaining religious (and cultural identity) is not the same thing as political allegiance to a country. Ethnic or religious loyalties do not detract from wider loyalties to the country. For them both loyalties are mutually defining their very existence.

Abstract

The Center for the Study of Islam and Society (PPIM), Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (UIN) Jakarta conducted a study entitled Gerakan Green Islam di Indonesia: Aktor, Strategi, dan Jaringan (The Green Islam Movement in Indonesia: Actors, Strategies, and Networks). This study seeks to answer why and how the Green Islam movement has developed in Indonesia, who their key actors are and how they build their networks, and how Green Islam activists use religious identity to design their strategies and programs.This qualitative research, carried out over eight months, employed a case study approach and utilized data collection techniques including desk research (November 2023–January 2024), focus group discussions (FGDs; February–March 2024), in-depth interviews (April–May 2024), and observations (April–May 2024). FGDs were conducted in Jakarta and Surabaya, involving 50 leaders of faith-based environmental organizations or communities. In addition, the research conducted in-depth interviews with 53 informants from Green Islam organizations or communities and carried out observations in 28 environmental work sites belonging to 10 Green Islam organizations or communities across Indonesia.

Abstract

This article delves into a discussion about how the Indonesian government, specifically the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag RI), regulated the handling of problematic religious movements and groups in Indonesia in 2017. It also aims to investigate whether the 2013 fatwa issued by the Indonesia Council of Ulama (MUI), which consists of religious scholars and holds significant influence, played a pivotal role in shaping this regulatory framework. Both of these documents were issued in response to the actions of individuals and groups that were perceived to have crossed the line of acceptability or violated the core beliefs of mainstream religious groups in Indonesia. They both outline key principles aimed at preventing any activities, teachings, or movements that strayed beyond the boundaries of legitimate dissent and encroached upon the sacred aspects of religion. In essence, the primary theme running through both documents is the preservation of mainstream religious orthodoxy. This reflects the government's and the dominant religious group's efforts to control and closely monitor any groups that appear to deviate from mainstream beliefs. The government and the majority religious community are viewed as the protectors of orthodoxy, and they are unhesitant in restricting individuals or groups accused of being "problematic" or "deviant" from participating in the public sphere.

Abstract

Dalam tradisi kesarjanaan Islam, sayangnya, khazanah yang sangat luas dari konsep Ahli Kitab tidak mendapat perhatian yang cukup serius sebagai pijakan kaum Muslimin untuk membangun hubungan antar agama yang inklusif. Sebagaimana istilah-istilah lain dalam tradisi Islam, seperti al-dīn, ummah dan lainnya, istilah Ahli Kitab biasanya dipahami dan difungsikan sebagai kriteria penilai bagi hubungan agama-agama itu. Fungsi ini secara apologetis bisa bermuara pada dua sikap yang saling melengkapi. Pertama, istilah Ahli Kitab digunakan untuk menjustifikasi bahwa dalam Islam hubungan agama-agama telah diintrodusir walau dengan catatan-catatan yang carut-marut. Kedua, dengan istilah itu pula karena gambaran-gambaran kritis yang disajikan al-Qur’an tentang Ahli Kitab menjadi pembenar dan pengesah bagi kaum Muslimin untuk mengambil jarak teologis kepada mereka. Penitikberatan istilah Ahli Kitab sebagaimana di atas merupakan cermin dari keberagamaan yang bersikap normatif-idealistik yang mengukur tingkat keberagamaan dari aspek-aspek formal ajaran agama saja, sehingga semangat dari istilah itu kurang mendapat perhatian serius. Buku yang ditulis oleh Muhammad Ghalib M ini mungkin bisa dimasukkan dalam kategori itu.

Abstract

This article examines Reuven Firestone’s book, Jihad: The Origin of Holy War in Islam (New York: Oxford University Press, 1999), within the broader context of the historical and scholarly discourse on religious wars. The study of holy war as a religiously justified conflict remains relatively new in academic traditions, with early foundational works such as Julius Wellhausen’s Prolegomena to the History of Ancient Israel (1885) inspiring later research. Comparative studies on the Judeo-Christian tradition have been explored by scholars such as Susan Niditch, Roland Bainton, and James A. Brundage. Meanwhile, Western scholarly attention to religious war in Islam began in the early 20th century with works by Gardner (1912) and Stephen van Rensselaer Trowbridge (1913), followed by seminal studies such as Majid Khadduri’s War and Peace in the Law of Islam (1955) and Rudolph Peters’ Jihad in Mediaeval and Modern Islam (1977). The term "holy war" itself remains problematic, as its definition is contested and varies across different traditions. In the European context, it is often framed as a form of justification for war through religious legitimacy. Unlike conventional warfare, which is based on strategy, military strength, and tactical calculations, religious war often involves eschatological, metaphysical, and supernatural elements. Historical examples, such as the Battle of Badr, illustrate how religious narratives influence perceptions of divine intervention in warfare. The article also addresses the paradox of how religions, which fundamentally advocate order and morality, justify violence. Drawing on political, theological, and linguistic perspectives, it argues that religious war functions within a binary opposition framework, where good confronts evil and divine forces oppose satanic ones. Within this paradigm, material motivations become secondary to spiritual rewards, including divine favor and the promise of paradise. This study contributes to the ongoing debate on the ideological and theological dimensions of religious war, particularly in the Islamic tradition.
