Abstract

The relationship between religion and culture is a fundamental aspect in understanding the dynamics of religious life among Muslim communities, particularly in the Indonesian context, which is marked by ethnic diversity, local traditions, and indigenous value systems. Islam, as a religion that carries universal principles, emerges and develops through a dialogical interaction with local cultures, resulting in diverse expressions of Islamic practice. This article analyzes the major theories explaining the relationship between religion and culture, including the theory of Islamic universality and cultural particularity, acculturation, assimilation, hybridity, the anthropology of religion, and postcolonial perspectives, and examines their relevance to the development of contemporary Islamic education. The study employs a qualitative approach based on literature review, drawing from classical works and recent findings in reputable journals. The research findings indicate that the relationship between Islam and culture is not a binary opposition but rather interactive, adaptive, and creative. This interaction produces contextual religious practices without diminishing the core values of Islam. The relevance for Islamic education is evident in three main aspects: first, the need for a culturally responsive Islamic education curriculum; second, the integration of local values as a medium for internalizing Islamic teachings; and third, strengthening the paradigm of religious moderation through historical and anthropological understanding of Islamic practices in society. The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive synthesis of theories on religion–culture relations and their practical implications for the development of Islamic education, an approach rarely explored in depth in previous studies. This research contributes to the argument that Islamic education can develop in a relevant and inclusive manner only by viewing culture as a dialogical partner, not as a threat to the purity of religious teachings. Thus, this article provides a theoretical and conceptual foundation for developing Islamic education that is moderate, contextual, and rooted in local wisdom.

Abstract

This article examines the dialectics between religious purification, tradition preservation, and global challenges within the context of Islamic religious education in Indonesia. The study employs library research with a descriptive–critical method, reviewing classical and contemporary literature related to Islam Nusantara, globalization, modernization, radicalism, and religious education practices. The findings reveal that religious purification emphasizes returning religious practices to authoritative texts, whereas the preservation of local traditions highlights the integration of cultural values as a means of social harmonization and strengthening community identity. The tension between these two orientations influences the curriculum, learning strategies, and religious experiences at the local level. Globalization and modernization add further complexity by introducing transnational authorities and value homogenization, while also creating opportunities for cultural glocalization and the revitalization of local traditions. Religious radicalism emerges as an extreme response to social change, whereas cultural resistance functions as an adaptive mechanism for communities to maintain local wisdom. This study underscores the need for Islamic religious education to negotiate between doctrinal purity, local cultural contexts, and global demands in order to produce adaptive, contextual, and relevant educational practices. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between religion and culture, inclusive Islamic educational strategies, and the development of literature on Islam Nusantara in the global era.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the forms of integration between Islamic spirituality and the cultural traditions of the Bromo community as a model of socio-religious harmony in a multicultural setting. Employing a qualitative approach with an ethnographic method, the study explores the social, symbolic, and spiritual values embedded in the religious and customary practices of the Bromo community, particularly among the Muslim Tengger group. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with 12 key informants consisting of religious leaders, traditional leaders, and community members, as well as documentation of local traditions. The findings indicate that the integration of Islam and local culture operates through three main pillars: spiritual engagement, defined as the active participation of Muslim community members in local spiritual rituals and communal religious life; cultural negotiation, referring to the process of reinterpreting indigenous traditions to align with Islamic teachings; and communal harmony, which denotes patterns of social interaction based on cooperation and mutual respect across religious boundaries. Rituals such as Kasada and earth alms (sedekah bumi), historically rooted in pre-Islamic traditions, are practiced by Muslim Tengger communities through adjusted meanings as expressions of gratitude to Allah and as forms of cultural da‘wah. In everyday social life, Islamic values such as ukhuwah, ikhlas, and rahmah coexist with Tengger cultural values of rukun, tepo seliro, and ajining diri, as reflected in inclusive social relations oriented toward shared communal well-being. These findings describe a form of contextual spirituality that demonstrates the integration of religious values and local wisdom as a foundation for the practice of religious moderation in mountainous communities.

Abstract

Da'wah is not only understood by the meaning but also as a science, but must be understood as a noble behavior to create a happy life both in the world and hereafter. Thus, da'wah has moral responsibility to fulfill the intended purpose. Because da'wah is the process of conveying religious messages, da'wah cannot be separated from the communication process. In other words, preaching must pay attention to the principles of communication, especially in terms of patterns of inter-cultural communication, especially when the mission is delivered in the midst of non-Muslim communities. This paper has three main issues, are: 1) the concept of understanding the importance of maintaining harmony; 2) the da'wah strategy in the midst of the Hindu community, so that it does not adversely affect social harmony; and 3) the pattern of relations between Muslim and Hindu communities in maintaining social harmony. These three issues are the focus of writing this article. This paper gives the message that survival while maintaining harmony in differences is an obligation. Religious differences should not be a barrier to staying together, socializing and side by side. Because in essence every religion craves peace and harmony in the life of the nation and state.

Abstract

Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam (PTKI) plays a vital role not only as centers for religious moderation but also in producing graduates who become community leaders contributing to national and religious development. This study aims to examine the factors influencing Generation Z’s intention to enrol in PTKI, with a focus on UIN Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember as a case study. The research specifically investigates whether religiosity, along with attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, affects students' enrollment decisions. A quantitative approach was employed using a structured questionnaire to 168 high school students in the Tapal Kuda region (Jember, Banyuwangi, Lumajang, Bondowoso, Pasuruan, Situbondo, and Probolinggo). The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares. The results indicate that attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control positively and significantly influence students’ intention to enrol, with attitude being the most dominant factor. In contrast, religiosity does not significantly impact enrollment decisions. These findings suggest that PTKI should focus their promotional and communication strategies on academic quality, professional prospects, and social influence rather than relying solely on religious orientation to attract prospective students.
