Abstract

This article elaborates Mountainous Islam in the Dieng Mountains. Today Dieng is a Muslim society. However the historical accounts about the way Islam entered Dieng are still debatable. It becomes more difficult since there is no any support data that is quite reliable. Based on oral history and Islamic phenomenon, there are three important finding showed. First, the history of Islam in the Dieng Mountains is provided clear information that Islam entered to the Dieng not merely by the acculturation process as commonly understood, but also colonialization.  Second, the Islamic tradition in the Dieng Mountains is the result of the negotiation of Islamic traditions and Hindu-Buddhist that first grew in Dieng, and present traditions that come to the Dieng Mountains. Islam Dieng creatively adopts and adapts new traditions in line with the improvement of society’s economic condition. Third, Islamic expression displayed by the Dieng community is a portrait of a mountainous Islam that is adaptive, dynamic, and open to change. Their religious expression will continue to change along with the development of creativity that is influenced by economic development, educational attainment, their encounters with outsiders, and the natural vulnerabilities they face as people living in active and often life-threatening mountains.[Artikel ini menguraikan Islam Pegunungan di Dieng. Hari ini Dieng adalah sebuah masyarakat Muslim. Namun catatan sejarah tentang cara masuknya Islam Dieng masih diperdebatkan. Ini menjadi lebih sulit karena tidak ada data pendukung yang cukup andal. Berdasarkan sejarah lisan dan fenomena Islam, ada tiga temuan penting yang ditunjukkan. Pertama, sejarah Islam di Pegunungan Dieng memberikan informasi yang jelas bahwa Islam masuk ke Dieng tidak hanya dengan proses akulturasi seperti yang biasa dipahami, tapi juga kolonialisasi. Kedua, tradisi Islam di Pegunungan Dieng adalah hasil negosiasi tradisi Islam dan Hindu-Budha yang datang pertama kali ke Dieng. Islam Dieng secara kreatif mengadopsi dan menyesuaikan dengan dan menciptakan tradisi baru seiring dengan membaiknya kondisi ekonomi masyarakat. Ketiga, ekspresi Islam yang ditampilkan oleh masyarakat Dieng merupakan potret sebuah agama Islam pegunungan yang adaptif, dinamis, dan terbuka untuk berubah. Ekspresi religius mereka akan terus berubah seiring dengan perkembangan kreativitas yang dipengaruhi oleh pembangunan ekonomi, pencapaian pendidikan, perjumpaan mereka dengan orang luar, dan kerentanan alami yang mereka hadapi sebagai orang yang tinggal di pegunungan yang aktif dan sering mengancam jiwa.]

Abstract

Abstract: Recent debates on mining governance in Indonesia have intensified discussions among Muslim intellectuals regarding environmental ethics and natural resource management. While previous studies have examined religion as a source of moral legitimacy or resistance to extractive industries, little attention has been paid to the epistemological processes through which Islamic normative concepts are interpreted in constructing religious reasoning. This article investigates how Ulil Abshar Abdalla and Ahmad Suaedy develop religious reasoning in Indonesia's mining debate during 2024-2025. Employing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) informed by a maqāṣid al-sharīʿah perspective, the study analyzes eight purposively selected texts, including opinion articles, public statements, social media posts, and digital discussions. The findings demonstrate that both intellectuals draw upon a shared Islamic normative tradition but construct distinct forms of religious reasoning by prioritizing different objectives of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. Ulil develops a maṣlaḥah-oriented justification that emphasizes public welfare, contextual ijtihād, and policy accommodation, whereas Suaedy advances a justice-oriented justification grounded in equality, accountability, and distributive justice. Based on these findings, the article proposes the concept of dual religious justification to explain how different epistemological priorities within the same Islamic interpretive tradition produce distinct yet internally coherent forms of religious reasoning. The study further argues that maqāṣid al-sharīʿah functions not only as a normative framework but also as an epistemological resource for contemporary Islamic ethical reasoning.
