Abstract

This research aims to analyze the Al-Maun Praxis movement as a new religion-based social movement in Indonesia, implicating its role and influence in educational institutions. The phenomenon of the Al-Ma'un praxis movement developed by Muhammadiyah universities has been studied scientifically by a sociological approach, especially the new social movement with its two theories; the theory of resource mobilization and identity-oriented theory. However, this research shows that those two theories can be used simultaneously by prioritizing the identity-oriented approach and then analyzing the resource mobilization theory. This research discusses the Muhammadiyah organization with the Al-Ma'un Praxis Movement Program at PTM as a model for a new religious-based social movement in Indonesia; in identity-oriented theory, Muhammadiyah as Movement Identity and Surat Al-Ma'un as Movement Theology, and Muhammadiyah as Movement Ideology. The more comprehensive areas in the idea of resource mobilization are: Islam and Mohammadness (Agama Islam dan Kemuhammadiyahan; AIK) as medium to mobilize Muhammadiyah resources, the capital of resource mobilization comes from Muhammadiyah residents at Muhammadiyah Universities, Mobilization of resources in the form of empowerment of charity and creativity based on Muhammadiyah philanthropy.

Abstract

Insights on the digital transformation of Islamic preaching in Indonesia, for example, highlight how religious practice gets enmeshed with social media's symbolic economy. In this paper, I examine the transition from da’wah to digital commodity in Islamic apologetics through the channel Bang Zuma Official on YouTube, and how faith, authority, and algorithms intersect in the digital public sphere. This study adopts a qualitative interpretive method, building on the analytics of Robert Entman’s (1993) framing analysis and Vincent Mosco’s (2009) theory of media commodification. The main data are collected from the video “Penyesat Itu Bergelar Yesus Kristus.. Siapa Pengikutnya???”(published March 6, 2025). They are, meaning structure or ideological representation, and the forms of commodification of religion in Bang Zuma’s apologetic discourse. The results indicate that Bang Zuma conceptualizes Islam as the ‘ultimate truth’ and other religions in terms of epistemological distortions. His rhetorical style connects theological argumentation with digital aesthetics, rendering da’wah an ideological spectacle. Three forms of commodification are identified: content (theological messages simplified for viral status), audience (those who consume or engage via donations act out digital fatigue and labour), and indeed the preachers themselves as spiritual labour modified in relation to algorithmic concerns.

Abstract

This study investigates the representation of religious symbols embedded within the Tokwi Lasem batik motifs, utilizing the semiotic framework of Charles Sanders Peirce. Originating from the Chinese Peranakan community in Lasem, Central Java, these batik motifs carry profound spiritual significance, particularly symbols rooted in Taoist belief systems, such as the Three Star Gods (Fu Lu Shou), the Eight Immortals (Ba Xian), dragons, phoenixes, and Mandarin characters. Employing a qualitative method, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with artisans, cultural experts, and curators, as well as a literature review. The findings demonstrate that the motifs serve not merely as decorative art but as sacred signs functioning within Peirce’s triadic model of semiosis—comprising representamen, object, and interpretant. These signs embody a dynamic interplay of religious meaning and cultural memory, forming a visual language that bridges the sacred and the everyday. The motifs reflect a deep-seated syncretism between Chinese Taoist cosmology and Javanese local traditions, articulating identity, reverence, and continuity of belief. Theoretically, this study contributes to the growing body of scholarship on religious semiotics and material culture, while also emphasizing the interpretive richness of traditional batik as a medium of spiritual communication. Practically, the research advocates for the recognition of batik as a living heritage, fostering cultural resilience, interethnic understanding, and localized approaches to heritage education and preservation.

Abstract

This study focuses on research with a phenomenological approach regarding the symbolic meaning of the ethnic Chinese Muslim identity at the Lautze 2 Mosque in Bandung City, which focuses on concluding the meaning of ethnic symbols in Chinese New Year as a means to integrate in the form of friendship and participation with the Chinese extended family; the meaning of Ethnic Symbols in Feng Shui which is still used and believed among Chinese Muslims; the meaning of the ethnic symbols in the lion dance which is still preserved as an art in various Chinese performances and endeavors; and the meaning of ethnic symbols in the Lucky Cat, which is still practiced in some Chinese Muslim circles, and is valued as part of the wisdom of the Chinese ancestor.  The study attempted to remain integrated with a more significant initial ethnic identity. For Chinese Muslims, family ties or relatives are essential in maintaining friendly relations, and believing Islam is the teachings of rahmatan lil 'alamiin. In addition, there is a reinterpretation of the symbols of Chinese ethnicity as a form of strengthening the identity of the Chinese Muslim ethnic group. This study can be used as theoretical knowledge in the form of theoretical conception to enrich the theories of the study of religions to assess the religious phenomenon associated with symbols of ethnic identity and religious identity, even acculturation between newcomers and natives. In addition, practically from the research, it is suggested to be an academic consideration for various government policies to build inter-religious harmony and harmony between ethnicities and groups, especially regarding religious conversion and belief and taboo issues in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates how government media construct the Halal Industrial Estate of Cikande (KIHC) as a religious-economic space through the commodification of sacred values. Drawing on key concepts such as religious commodification, Bourdieu’s symbolic capital, and the global halal economy, this research employs a qualitative design using Critical Discourse Analysis integrated with symbolic economy theory. The dataset consists of official press releases, social media posts and promotional materials issued by the Banten Provincial Government between 2019 and 2024. The findings reveal three major mechanisms: the resignification of religious symbols into commercial branding tools, the conversion of religious symbolic capital into economic capital, and the production of futuristic narratives that position KIHC as a center of moral-economic authority. The main methodological challenge arises from the exclusive reliance on government-produced discourse, which limits the study’s ability to capture public reception or contestation. Practically, the study recommends the development of ethical standards for public communication to prevent the reduction of religion into mere commercial branding. This research contributes to the study of religion and media by elucidating how the state deploys religious values as symbolic commodities within Indonesia’s halal industrial development. This article extends theoretical discussions on symbolic economy within the halal industry and offers a conceptual framework for understanding the interplay between religion, state authority, and capitalism in media discourse.

Abstract

This study explores the construction of personal branding by two prominent Indonesian preachers, Gus Miftah and Gus Baha, through YouTube as a medium for digital Islamic preaching. Employing a qualitative interpretive approach, the research adopts the Circle-P framework, which encompasses five key elements: competency, connectivity, creativity, compliance, and contribution. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, passive participant observation, and content documentation from both da’is’ official YouTube channels. The analysis followed Creswell’s six-step qualitative research method. The findings reveal that personal branding in the digital age is a multidimensional process rooted in each preacher’s unique character, communication style, and social engagement. Gus Miftah constructs his brand by engaging marginalized communities through an inclusive, relaxed, and empathetic style of preaching that breaks conventional boundaries. In contrast, Gus Baha builds his personal branding on scholarly authority, humility, and a calm, narrative approach grounded in Qur’anic interpretation and pesantren traditions. The study concludes that effective personal branding in Islamic preaching is not merely about gaining popularity but about maintaining authenticity, aligning values with audience expectations, and delivering consistent, value-driven communication. This research contributes theoretically to the discourse on Islamic communication and personal branding, and practically offers a strategic model for preachers to enhance their influence and credibility in digital religious spaces.
