Abstract

This article addresses the ongoing debate of the reliability of the Qur'an as a historical source, focusing on the codification and stabilization of its text. This research examines several significant works by Mun'im Sirry that have contributed to Qur'anic scholarship while raising controversies, particularly among Southeast Asian scholars. Sirry’s critical approach situates his thoughts within the broader discourse of traditionalist and revisionist streams in Qur'anic studies. This study employs a qualitative library research method, cross-referencing Qur'anic scholarship to investigate Sirry's contributions. By comparing his thoughts with both traditionalist and revisionist views, the study aims to assess Sirry’s position and its impact on debates surrounding the historical authenticity of the Qur'an. The findings reveal that Sirry bridges the gap between the extreme skepticism of revisionists and the uncritical acceptance of traditionalists. His nuanced stance acknowledges both the textual evolution of the Qur'an and its historical significance. The study contributes to the ongoing debates on Qur'anic codification, revealing Sirry's role as a critical yet balanced scholar who navigates between these two extremes. His approach emphasizes the importance of historical-critical methods while also recognizing the roles of key figures, such as Abdul Malik and Hajjaj, in stabilizing the Qur'an’s text. Sirry’s position fosters a deeper understanding of the Qur'an’s role in Islamic history, offering a middle path that challenges both traditionalist and revisionist interpretations.

Abstract

This study investigates the significance and function of Banyu Penguripan within the cultural tradition of the Kudus community, focusing on its intersections with spirituality, environmental ethics and local natural resource management surrounding the sacred well of Sunan Kudus. Employing a qualitative methodology, the research incorporates fieldwork that includes in-depth interviews with religious leaders, community members and well custodians, as well as participatory observation of rituals and practices associated with Banyu Penguripan. Complementary documentation was also gathered to support the analysis with relevant secondary data. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify key patterns reflecting the integration of spiritual beliefs and environmental ethics, particularly in shaping culture-based conservation models applicable to local resource governance. Findings indicate that Banyu Penguripan functions not merely as a ritual act but as a profound symbol of the interconnected relationship between humans, nature, and the divine. The tradition embodies a form of environmental ethics that fosters communal responsibility for safeguarding natural resources, especially water, as a sacred and shared heritage. This study contributes to the discourse on sustainable environmental stewardship by proposing a culturally rooted conservation framework that emphasizes spiritual values as integral to ecological balance and intergenerational sustainability.

Abstract

This article examines the protection of the rights of children out of wedlock in the Religious Courts. The ambiguity of the concept of the best interests of the child has prompted judges to interpret this concept to realize legal protection for children out of wedlock. This study reveals the application of the principle of best interests for children by Religious Court judges in protecting children out of wedlock. This study uses a case approach and legal philosophy. The results of this study indicate that the Religious Courts, in determining the origin of children, generally protect the rights of children out of wedlock proportionally. In the best interests of the child, the judges grant recognition of the child and provide a limited legal relationship for an illegitimate child with his biological father. The existence of this legal relationship has provided legal certainty regarding the status of children out of wedlock as biological children of both parents; so that the children have human dignity (hifẓ al-‘irḍ). In addition, judges have realized distributive justice that provides benefits for children out of wedlock, without ignoring the norms of Islamic law regarding the purity of lineage, through the granting of living rights for the survival of children (hifẓ al-nafs), spiritual development (hifẓ al-din), education a proper will (hifẓ al-'aql), and a mandatory will from his father (hifẓ al-māl).

Abstract

Islam and blasphemy have repeatedly emerged as the center of Indonesian public discourse and debate after the fall of Suharto. The debate becomes intense in a democratic society when people feel free to speak and deliver their opinions. When their speeches and opinions are regarded to have offences against a particular religion, the followers will protest against them. In Indonesia, these offences can be brought to court due to the presence of the blasphemy law in the Indonesian Criminal Code. Some scholars and religious leaders believe that the law have to be removed because it is not compatible with the principles of religious freedom and democracy. Others believe the law have to be defended because it is needed to regulate religious lives and maintain religious tolerance in the society. This article will investigate the diverse opinions among Muslim activists and leaders from various Muslim organizations including Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah. This article attempts to answer two questions of what are the social and cultural backgrounds of the debates on blasphemy and how religious freedom is defined through these debates in contemporary Indonesia? The data are collected from the document and the recorded video of the judicial review of the blasphemy law in Indonesian constitutional court in 2010 and the interviews concerning the decision of the judicial review. This article suggests that religious freedom is limited by the majority of opinions in favor with the blasphemy law which discriminate free speech and religious minority groups

Abstract

This article elucidates the chronology of the insertion of Undang-Undang Penistaan Agama (‘the Indonesian blasphemy law’) in Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Pidana (‘the Indonesian Criminal Code,’ later mentioned as KUHP). The law aims to prevent a religious elements; such as holy books, rituals, saints, etc. from offences. In the postauthoritarian Indonesia, this law has been used to ban individuals and minority groups by religious groups, state apparatus, and politicians. This has caused a dispute and debate in the society because there are several groups most of whom are intellectuals and human rights activists, who consider that the law is against Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 (‘the Indonesian Constitution 1945,’ later mentioned as UUD 45). They have urged the government through Mahkamah Konstitusi (‘the Constitutional Court of Indonesia,’ later mentioned as MK) to remove or revise it. This article attempts to answer the questions of how blasphemy law is formulated and then inserted in the Criminal Code and how it has defined religious freedom in Indonesia. Its aim is to understand the historical aspects of the law and the interpretation of religious freedom in Indonesia. The data of this article were collected through library research (books, newspapers, articles, CDs, etc.) and ethnography (observation and interviews). The results show that the Indonesian government has struggled to locate the definition of religious freedom and tend to be inconsistent in dealing with dispute of blasphemy law. In many cases, it ends in favor with the more powerful voice in public.
