Abstract

Collective action to protect individuals from all forms of threatening causes, including the Covid-19 pandemic, is urgently needed. The Covid-19 pandemic urged religious practices and traditions to adapt to a situation where a series of health protocols must be observed. In order to prevent the spread, World Health Organisation (WHO) issued strict health protocol rules. Some of these rules seem to be contradicted to traditions and religious practices. This article tries to investigate the ways religious societies react and respond to the health crisis caused by Covid-19. In this respect, this paper strives to answer the questions of how Indonesian Muslims respond to the pandemic of Covid-19, how religion contributes to the prevention of transmission and infection, and overcomes the social problems impacted by the pandemic, and to analyze obstacles faced by Indonesian Muslims to enhance collective awareness to the danger of the Covid-19 pandemic. This article argues that civil or non-governmental religious leaders and groups, in general, play an important role to prevent and overcome the pandemic and after because of their independency to make decisions and awareness to the severity of the Covid-19 pandemic. The involvement of religious leaders who have authority at the grassroots level strengthens the legitimacy of the obligation to comply with health protocols and has succeeded in reducing the rate of transmission and death and increasing healing. Religious authority owned by clergy at lower levels has also encouraged increased participation in social solidarity which is demanded instead to depart from diversity and not similarities, among others due to Covid-19.

Abstract

Religious Moderation (MB) is a government program aimed at overcoming certain problems that are currently taking place in Indonesia but for the long-term goal of building the character of the Indonesian nation. The challenges are mainly what the government perceives as radicalism, religious violence and left and right extremism which are considered to threaten the sustainability of the nation and the unity of Indonesia. However, MB is unique because it explicitly places religion as a key in it, unlike other programs. Therefore, it is important to look at this MB not only at the changes in the Jokowi administration era but also changes in Indonesia in general and even in the global context. In the recent global shift, it is inevitable that religious factors will emerge in public space and policies, and Indonesia is no exception. By some academics this phenomenon is called post secular and public religion. In the West, it is caused by the flood of immigrants who come to developed countries with different cultures, traditions and religions but because of the number and cultural strength, they push for change in these societies. In Indonesia, demographic changes also occur due to class social mobility that affects new shifts and balances as well as the entry of religion into the public and government spheres. This paper will place the MB public policy which is currently being intensively carried out by the Indonesian government in the shift map. Is it a regression of democracy or a form of democracy typical of Indonesia: a country that has strong spiritual and religious historical characteristics and a thick plurality of people. In this case, in Indonesia, the public sphere of democracy cannot isolate religion in the private sphere, when it comes to enforcing democracy which requires broad civil society participation.

Abstract

This study aims to uncover the position of the Indonesian Ulama Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia or MUI) in the current institutional context where it has the authority to issue fatwas. The era of disruption and digital revolution poses challenges for MUI. This qualitative study combines content analysis of a text with actor-network analysis of the actors who produce the text. Content analysis of the text was carried out by analyzing the language used in MUI regional fatwas that indicate symptoms of fatwa de-bureaucratization. The next step is to map the discourse arising from the fatwa de-bureaucratization symptoms. This study uses the Discourse Network Analysis (DNA) tool to map the actors involved. This is useful to answer the discourse map and actors involved in producing a discourse. The study results show that MUI faces two main challenges in the digital revolution era. First, the symptom of de-bureaucratization is marked by the increasing number of national issues discussed and decided by MUI regions. Second, depersonalization is characterized by the emergence of celebrity ulama, who often issue fatwas in forums and religious gatherings they possess. Abstrak: Kajian ini berupaya mengungkap posisi Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) saat ini yang secara kelembagaan memiliki kewenangan mengeluarkan fatwa. Era disrupsi dan revolusi digital membawa tantangan tersendiri bagi MUI. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang menggabungkan analisis isi dalam sebuah teks dengan analisis jaringan aktor yang memproduksi teks tersebut. Analisis isi teks dilakukan dengan menganalisis data berupa penggunaan bahasa pada fatwa MUI daerah yang menunjukkan gejala debirokratisasi fatwa. Tahap selanjutnya adalah memetakan wacana yang muncul dalam gejala debirokratisasi fatwa. Dalam memetakan aktor-aktor tersebut, penelitian ini menggunakan Discourse Network Analysis (DNA). Hal ini berguna untuk menjawab peta wacana dan aktor yang terlibat dalam memproduksi sebuah wacana. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa ada dua tantangan utama yang dihadapi MUI di era revolusi digital. Pertama, merupakan gejala debirokratisasi yang ditandai dengan semakin banyaknya isu nasional yang dibahas dan diputuskan oleh MUI daerah. Kedua, depersonalisasi ditandai dengan lahirnya ulama selebritas yang kerap mengeluarkan fatwa di forum-forum halakah dan pengajian yang dimiliki.

Abstract

This paper is aimed to understand the issue of citizenship and the post colonial minority dilema by looking ath the issue of Sabah and the Sultanate of Sulu. Unlike western countries whosestates were formed based on their established historical territories, the formation of states in the east or non-western areas in general inherited complicated religious, ethnic, traditional rules and familial relations. Non-western post-colonial states should developed different conceptions ofstate-borders by considering traditional cutural realities, multicultural and plural ethnicities, languages and religions and family connections within each state or among several states. This re-defintion should not eliminate individual ownership but also to promote a vision of commonwelfare.Keywords: Citizenship, Minority, Sabah, Sulu Sultanate

Abstract

There have been many studies on Islam and Islamic societies in Papua. However, there have not been many studies on Arab descendants in Papua. Nevertheless, people of Arab descent have long been present in Papua and have played a significant role in developing the Islamic community in Papua. Therefore, discussing their role in the Papuan Muslim community is important. Based on this issue, the following article examines Papuans from the Al-Hamid clan in two chiefdoms in Kaimana, namely Petuanan Namatota and Petuanan Kumisi. The main issue discussed in this research is the Al-Hamid clan's role in Islamic affairs in the Namatota and Kumisi Chiefdoms in Kaimana. The research data were obtained through a literature review and fieldwork in Kaimana, West Papua. The results show that Papuans of Arab descent from the Al-Hamid clan play an important role in religious affairs in the Namatota and Kumisi Chiefdoms. People from Al-Hamid's descendants have been religious teachers, qadhi, mosque imams, and policymakers in Islamic religious affairs in the two chiefdoms since around the end of the 19th Century. Al-Hamid's descendants still carry out these roles, although they are delegated to other parties in some circumstances.

Abstract

This article, which focuses on observing individual and group actors in the social movement in South Thailand in a way that does not neglect the important contributions made by political actors as well as. By the insurgency and separatist movement, contends that insurgency, separatism, and violence are no longer the typical choice for those who strive for fundamental human rights in the Thai nation-state. Unfortunately, however, the central government of the Thai Kingdom has not been very responsive nor has it taken these demands seriously. It has shown a lack of political will in granting these actors more extensive rights as demanded on a global scale by recent developments in human rights and the rethinking of the concept of nationalism and national identity.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v17i1.467

Abstract

As a part of the Myanmar transition to democracy, which began after the election in 2010, the census on March-April 2014 refused to count the Rohingya ethnic group. This was symbolic of the Myanmar government’s rejection of Rohingya people as citizens. The paradox is that democracy necessitates a guarantee of fundamental freedoms and recognition of all group identities. Through in depth interviews with a number of Rohingya political and social leaders at the end of March 2014, in Yangon, this research details the Rohingya struggle to secure their rights in the political process. A number of documents both from the Rohingya and from the Myanmar government justify why and how the process of exclusion and discrimination occurs. This research will conclude with a discussion of the challenges and recommended steps for the future to accommodate the Rohingya as Myanmar citizens, and of the need for international and regional support.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v22i1.1387

Abstract

Abstract The following research aims to discuss the development of Islamic maritime civilization on the East Coast of Sumatra during the 17th to 18th centuries AD. What sultanates represented the Islamic maritime civilization on the East Coast of Sumatra from the 17th to the 18th century AD and what were the characteristics of the Islamic maritime civilization on the East Coast of Sumatra that developed during this period are the two questions raised in this research. To answer these two questions, this research uses the historical research method with research steps that include heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The search for sources was conducted through literature research. The results of the research itself are expected to have positive implications for the development of the history of Islamic civilization in the archipelago, especially in the field of Islamic maritime civilization which has been neglected. The research concluded that the Islamic maritime civilization on the East Coast of Sumatra was represented by sultanates such as Aceh, Siak, Deli, Serdang, Langkat, and Asahan. These sultanates were sultanates with brown water civilization because they placed the center of their power downstream of the river. Nevertheless, their maritime capabilities have reached green water cruising and blue water cruising.
