Abstract

The discourse of polygamy in Islamic thought has become controversial and interesting to be discussed. Until now, polygamy as one form of marriage in Islam is still a debate. This kind of debate does not result anything in common because the argument of each opinion is based on Quranic verse An Nisa '(4): 3, 129, and hadith of the Prophet, as the highest source of law in Islam. The polygamy discourse can be divided into two opinions. First, support polygamy (pro polygamy) and secondly, against polygamy (contra polygamy).

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concepts and principles of religious moderation, examine its role in fostering tolerance and interreligious harmony, and identify the challenges and opportunities in implementing religious moderation within Indonesia’s multicultural society. Religious moderation is viewed as a strategic approach to maintaining social harmony amid the country’s religious, cultural, and ideological diversity. The research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method. Data were collected through a critical review and analysis of scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed national journals published after 2022, academic books, and relevant policy documents related to religious moderation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, thematic categorization, and descriptive-analytical interpretation to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the research focus. The findings indicate that religious moderation plays a crucial role in strengthening tolerance and interreligious harmony in Indonesia by promoting balance, justice, inclusivity, and respect for diversity. The study reveals that religious moderation is effectively implemented through education, interfaith dialogue, the involvement of religious leaders, and supportive public policies that encourage harmonious religious life. However, its implementation continues to face several challenges, such as exclusive religious interpretations, the spread of extremism in the digital era, uneven public understanding of religious moderation, and the politicization of religion. On the other hand, significant opportunities exist, including strong governmental support, the integration of religious moderation into educational curricula, the use of digital media to disseminate moderate values, and the development of community-based religious moderation initiatives. In conclusion, religious moderation is an essential and relevant approach for maintaining tolerance and interreligious harmony in Indonesia. The success of its implementation depends largely on the synergy between government institutions, educational establishments, religious leaders, and civil society. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of strengthening policies, education, and socio-religious literacy based on religious moderation in a sustainable manner to ensure that the values of tolerance and harmony become deeply embedded in Indonesian society.

Abstract

This study analyzes the relationship between Islamic inheritance law (faraid), social practices, and gender construction in contemporary Indonesian Muslim society. The primary objective of this research is to examine how Islamic inheritance law is implemented within a dynamic social context and how gender influences the process of inheritance distribution within families. The study employs a qualitative method with an Islamic legal sociology approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation and were analyzed using an interactive analysis technique consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the implementation of faraid does not occur mechanically but rather through a process of family deliberation influenced by economic conditions and social relationships. The study also finds that changes in the social and economic roles of women affect how families perceive justice in inheritance distribution. Justice is no longer understood solely as compliance with normative inheritance formulas but also as the ability of inheritance distribution to promote welfare, maintain family harmony, and accommodate the needs of heirs. These findings indicate that inheritance practices among Indonesian Muslims represent a form of living law that emerges from the interaction between religious norms, social realities, and gender construction. This study has implications for strengthening the perspective of Islamic legal sociology in understanding the dynamics of inheritance law in contemporary Muslim societies. Islamic inheritance law functions not only as a normative legal system but also as a social system that adapts to changes in family structures and the evolving roles of gender. Therefore, understanding inheritance practices requires an approach that is not only text-oriented but also attentive to the social context in which the law operates.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of ulama in promoting religious moderation within society and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its implementation. Ulama occupy a strategic position as religious role models and authoritative sources of religious guidance who influence the formation of religious attitudes among communities. In the context of a multicultural society, the role of ulama is particularly important in fostering the values of tolerance, balance, and justice in religious life in order to prevent the emergence of extremist attitudes. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentary studies involving a number of ulama, community leaders, and religious institutions in the research area. The data were analyzed through the processes of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that ulama play an active role in delivering religious sermons, providing religious education, and guiding communities toward an understanding of moderate Islamic teachings. The main supporting factors include the community’s trust in the religious authority of ulama, as well as support from religious institutions and government agencies. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors include limited religious literacy among some members of the community and the influence of social media, which can contribute to the spread of intolerant views. The implications of this study indicate that strengthening the capacity of ulama in moderate religious preaching and fostering cross-institutional collaboration are essential for enhancing social resilience and expanding the implementation of religious moderation values within society.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the perspectives of millennial youth on diversity and the role of moderation in fostering social harmony within a multicultural society. The study focuses on the attitudes, understanding, and practices of moderation demonstrated by the millennial generation in responding to differences in ethnicity, religion, culture, and social perspectives. This research employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and a literature review. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns of attitudes and values of moderation emerging among millennial youth. The findings indicate that millennial youth tend to demonstrate inclusive and open-minded perspectives toward diversity, with moderation being understood as an attitude of mutual respect, tolerance, and rejection of extremism. Nevertheless, challenges remain, particularly in the form of social media influence and opinion polarization. The study concludes that strengthening the values of moderation among millennial youth contributes significantly to maintaining social harmony and reinforcing social cohesion within a diverse society. The findings have implications for the development of educational and social policies that emphasize strengthening the values of moderation and tolerance among younger generations. Furthermore, this study can serve as a reference for educational institutions, youth organizations, and policymakers in designing programs that encourage intercultural dialogue and constructive approaches to managing diversity.

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the extent to which Shariah values can be integrated into the current inheritance system and the challenges faced in the process, such as differences in interpretation, gender equality, and adaptation to state law. The integration of Shariah values into the modern inheritance system has become a significant issue in efforts to establish a fair and relevant governance of inheritance amidst social change. This study highlights the sustainability aspects of a Shariah-based inheritance system and its challenges, such as legal pluralism, cultural resistance, and the complexity of interpreting religious texts. Gender equality is a central issue in discussions of the modern inheritance system based on Shariah. Although Islamic law provides mechanisms for asset distribution designed to protect women's rights, traditional interpretations are often viewed as insufficient in supporting equality. This challenge calls for the reinterpretation of Islamic inheritance law aligned with the principles of maqasid al-shariah, namely justice, the protection of human rights, and social welfare. Moreover, cultural barriers are a significant factor influencing the sustainability of Islamic inheritance law implementation. In some societies, local customs often conflict with Shariah rules, creating tensions between religious law and cultural practices. In this context, a contextual approach and intercultural dialogue are necessary to create harmony between the two. The methodology employed is a qualitative approach with normative and empirical legal analysis. The findings indicate that the integration of Shariah values contributes to the creation of an inheritance system that is fair, inclusive, and relevant but faces challenges such as cultural resistance, legal pluralism, and the dynamics of Shariah interpretation.

Abstract

Religious moderation has become an important issue in the lives of contemporary Muslims, particularly amid increasing religious polarization, intolerance, extremism, and changes in religious communication spaces resulting from digital technological development. Within Islamic discourse, moderation is closely related to the concept of wasathiyyah, although the two concepts are not entirely identical. Wasathiyyah has a theological foundation rooted in the Qur’an and refers to principles of balance, justice, excellence, and proportionality in human life. Meanwhile, the interpretation of QS al-Baqarah [2]: 143 indicates that wasathiyyah can serve as a Qur’anic foundation for developing religious moderation that places justice, balance, and public benefit as its primary orientations. This article aims to analyze religious moderation as a manifestation of maqasid al-shari’ah while reconstructing the concept of wasathiyyah in response to the dynamics of contemporary Muslim life. This study employs a qualitative method using a library research approach. The data sources consist of the Qur’an, Islamic literature, studies on maqasid al-shari’ah, and relevant scholarly journal articles. The analysis is conducted descriptively and analytically by connecting the concepts of wasathiyyah, religious moderation, maqasid al-shari’ah, and maslahah. The findings indicate that wasathiyyah should not be understood merely as a middle position between two extremes, but rather as an ethical principle encompassing justice, balance, proportionality, and public benefit. Maqasid al-shari’ah provides a teleological orientation to these principles through the realization of human welfare and the protection of fundamental human needs. Based on this construction, this article positions wasathiyyah as an ethical principle, maqasid al-shari’ah as a teleological orientation, and religious moderation as a form of social praxis in contemporary Muslim life. This reconstruction broadens the understanding of religious moderation from merely a strategy for dealing with extremism into an Islamic paradigm oriented toward justice, balance, public benefit, and the protection of human life.
