Abstract

Mawlid an-Nabi is an annual event held on the 12th of Rabi' al-Awwal to commemorate the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Many countries around the world organize Mawlid al-Nabi celebrations with their own cultural characteristics. This study aims to provide an overview of Mawlid al-Nabi celebrations in various countries from a cultural perspective. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework was applied to facilitate the data screening process. Study objects were obtained from online databases such as JSTOR, Scopus, The Lens, Proquest, and Google Scholar using Boolean operators, and data analysis was conducted using cultural theories by Koentjoroningrat and Geert Hofstede. This study reviewed 16 studies from 16 different countries. The findings indicate that most countries celebrating Mawlid an-Nabi reflect aspects of large power distance and dominant collectivism. Additionally, all cultural elements of the societies contribute to the diversity of Mawlid an-Nabi celebrations. In terms of celebration rituals, there are two distinct approaches: inclusive and exclusive. These two methods are practiced in both majority and minority Muslim countries. Variations in interpretations and perspectives of Sharia law among Muslim communities result in differing views and controversies regarding the celebration of Mawlid an-Nabi. The widespread and varied celebrations of Mawlid an-Nabi in various countries highlight the cultural richness of the Muslim community, particularly as a tribute to the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), despite some Muslim communities opposing it due to differing viewpoints.

Abstract

ABSTRAKStudi tentang hak asasi manusia (HAM) terus berkembang, dengan advokasi yang menjangkau periode sejarah hingga masa kontemporer karena isu-isu HAM yang terus berlanjut di berbagai negara, khususnya Indonesia dan Amerika Serikat (AS). Aktivis HAM Muslim secara signifikan telah memengaruhi kesadaran masyarakat dan pemerintahan untuk menegakkan HAM. Studi ini berfokus pada nilai-nilai Islam yang diterapkan dalam strategi advokasi, kendala-kendala yang dihadapi aktivis HAM Muslim, serta persamaan dan perbedaan prinsip dan strategi advokasi yang ada pada aktivis HAM dari non-Muslim. Tujuan dari studi ini yakni untuk menganalisis cerminan nilai-nilai Islam dalam strategi advokasi aktivis HAM Muslim Indonesia dan Amerika dari tahun 1964 sampai 2020. Menggunakan purposive sampling dan analisis data deskriptif kualitatif, studi ini mengidentifikasi advokasi aktivis Munir Said Thalib, Abdurrahman Wahid, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, dan Linda Sarsour. Berdasarkan analisis pendekatan nilai-nilai Islam, maka sebagian besar strategi advokasi aktivis HAM Muslim di Indonesia dan Amerika yang meliputi taktik persuasi, strategi pemodelan, strategi litigasi, dan strategi pendidikan sama-sama menerapkan nilai Islam seperti kejujuran, keadilan, kerja sama, kerja keras, dan ketertiban sosial. Meskipun menghadapi berbagai hambatan, ketekunan para aktivis HAM Muslim pada akhirnya membawa hasil yang positif. Nilai-nilai Islam yang tercermin dalam strategi advokasi para aktivis HAM Muslim tidak bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan dan sosial yang dianut oleh aktivis HAM non-Muslim dan masyarakat secara global. ABSTRACTThe study of human rights continues to evolve, with advocacy spanning historical periods to contemporary times due to persistent human rights issues in various countries, particularly Indonesia and the United States (US). Muslim human rights activists have significantly influenced societal awareness and governance to uphold human rights. This study focused on Islamic values dominate advocacy strategies, obstacles faced by Muslim human rights activists, and the similarities and differences in the principles and strategies of advocacy compared to non-Muslim human rights activists. The study aims to analyze the influence of Islamic values reflected in the advocacy strategies of Indonesian and American Muslim human rights activists from  1964 to 2020. Using purposive sampling and descriptive qualitative data analysis, the study identifies the advocacies of Munir Said Thalib, Abdurrahman Wahid, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, and Linda Sarsour. Based on the analysis of the Islamic values approach, most of the advocacy strategies of Muslim human rights activists in Indonesia and America, which include persuasion tactics, modeling strategies, litigation strategies, and education strategies, equally apply Islamic values such as honesty, justice, cooperation, hard work, and social order. Despite numerous obstacles, the perseverance of Muslim human rights activists ultimately leads to positive outcomes. Islamic values reflected in the advocacy strategies of Muslim human rights activists are not contradictory to the humanitarian and social values embraced by non-Muslim human rights activists and society globally.
