Abstract

The reality of modernity, which has given rise to various complexities that are sometimes detrimental to humanity, has revived local religions which indeed have their own cosmology, which is seen as saving the world. The main focus of the research is cosmology within the teachings of Agama Sunda Djawa, exploring sources of ethics, views on the afterlife, and environmental ethics. The Seren Taun ceremony, as part of local cultural wisdom, becomes the center of attention in understanding the meaning of rituals and the symbolic significance of the Paseban building. This research utilizes a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, involving informants such as followers of Madraism, Agama Djawa Sunda (ADS; the Sundanese Javanese Religion), Paguyuban Adat Cara Karuhun Urang, and Adat Karuhun Urang. The results provide a deep understanding of the administrative and discriminatory challenges faced by Sunda Wiwitan followers and their efforts to maintain their existence and beliefs. This research also reveals the relationship between traditional arts, especially Gemyung art, with the expression of Sundanese cosmology. Overall, this research contributes to the understanding of religion and spirituality in Indonesia while also highlighting social, political, and administrative issues faced by certain religious groups.

Abstract

The term wasaṭiyyah comes from the sentence "ummatan wasaṭan" in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 143, which reflects the character of fair and best Muslims. This concept has developed into religious moderation, emphasizing the values ​​of justice and balance. In Indonesia, the understanding of religious moderation is often debated, with pros and cons related to the meaning of wasaṭiyyah and indicators of moderation that are considered forced. Sayyid Qutb, in Tafsir Fī Ẓilāl Al-Qur'ān, provides a comprehensive interpretation of the verse. This study uses a qualitative method with a comparative analytical approach, relying on data from the Tafsir book and other secondary sources. The analysis was carried out with a hermeneutic approach to understand the context of the verse. The results of the study show six indicators of wasaṭiyyah, according to Sayyid Qutb, including aqidah, thought, law, social, place, and time. This concept is relevant to religious moderation in Indonesia, especially in national commitment.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of Arab descendants’ identity in Indonesia through the community-based media Suara Al-Irsyad (MSA). Media play a crucial role in shaping and preserving community identity, particularly within diasporic groups facing globalization and social transformation. This research aims to explore how MSA contributes to maintaining Arab descendants’ cultural identity and the strategies employed to remain relevant in the digital era. Employing a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method, data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with MSA administrators, and document analysis of its publications. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that MSA functions not only as an information platform but also as a medium for cultural preservation. Beyond reporting news and Islamic education, MSA constructs an inclusive narrative that highlights the contributions of Arab descendants to national development. To address digital challenges, MSA has implemented modernization strategies by leveraging social media platforms to engage younger audiences. Despite declining interest in community-based media and increasing competition from mainstream platforms, MSA sustains its relevance by balancing traditional values with technological innovation. This research contributes to media and identity studies by demonstrating the critical role of community media in constructing minority group representations in the public sphere. It enriches the discourse on diaspora identity dynamics in the context of media, particularly in navigating globalization and social change. Moreover, the study provides practical implications for media practitioners, scholars, and policymakers in formulating sustainable strategies for ethnic-based media in the digital era.

Abstract

Interactions with the Quran have led to a variety of interpretations. Some individuals approach the Quran from a theological standpoint, evaluating the accuracy of their understanding using established methods. In contrast, others take a more humanistic approach, incorporating Quranic teachings into daily life without being constrained by rigid methodologies. This study aims to investigate how residents of Pondok Pesantren Biharul Ulum Agroecology (PPBUA) in Cisarua, Bogor, receive and apply Quranic teachings in the context of environmental conservation. Using a qualitative-ethnographic approach, data were gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation. Grounded in reception theory, the findings reveal that PPBUA's environmental initiatives effectively combine Quranic principles with local wisdom, motivating both the community and students (santri) to view conservation as a form of worship. Through initiatives such as reforestation and organic farming, PPBUA fosters sustainability. By merging Quranic values with traditional practices, the institution offers a comprehensive approach that integrates spiritual, social, and ecological dimensions to create lasting solutions.
