Abstract

This article discusses Muslim converts’ (muallaf) reception on Q.S. al-Mu’minūn (23): 1-11 as a process of self-understanding to become a Muslim and looks for the factors prompting their reception. This article is based on field research on the community of Muslim converts affiliated with the Mualaf Center Solo (MCS). This research employed the theory of Qur’anic reception. The collected data is examined using discourse analysis and then presented descriptively. The research shows that Muslim converts in MSC are capable of comprehending Q.S. al-Mu’minūn (23): 1-11 and of understanding the characters of Muslims described in these verses such as pious, generous, honest, self-discipline, social care, reproduction health awareness, trustworthy, responsible and steady. The Muslim converts, however, have different reception on those verses which was influenced by certain factors, among others are religious motivation, the role of family, social interaction, and self-awareness.

Abstract

In contemporary Islamic thought, religious pluralism has been a discourse that many Moslem scholars have introduced to the Islamic community. One of the scholars is Dr. Farid Esack, a South African exegete who is also well-known as a human right activist. Brought up under an apartheid regime ruling South Africa, Esack is of a certain opinion that religion should function to struggle against any unjust order. To make a radical and fundamental change, according to Esack, there is no way but to constructively reinterpret religious discourse and role so as to be a tool of liberation. Using yet controversial a hermeneutical analysis on the Qur'an, Farid Esack raises the idea of pluralism dealing critically with the struggle against oppression and toward liberation for South Africa.
