Abstract

This study will focus on the peculiarity of Nusantara Islam amidst the setting of Indonesian multiculturalism by studying the content analytically based on 21 documents indexed by Scopus. For that reason, Islam is seen harmoniously merged within the variances of the Indonesia cultural setting for religious tolerance to meet societal peaceful coexistence. The findings prove Nusantara Islam is inclusive, and flexible, and hence has emerged pivotal in unifying the highly fractionalized populace along unifying bonds of unity over diversity. It struggles for sustainability amidst the growing transnational ideologies, globalization, and digital dissemination of radical discourses. This paper underlines the value of Nusantara Islam as a model of religious moderation and provides recommendations on how to meet contemporary challenges. The research enriches the body of knowledge dealing with the interrelationship between religion and multiculturalism in ways that benefit the global discourses of interfaith harmony and cultural pluralism.

Abstract

This study critically examines the perspectives of Islamic feminists on patriarchal elements embedded in Islamic family law in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, the research draws insights from five key informants, including scholars, activists, and legal practitioners engaged in Islamic feminist discourse. The findings reveal that patriarchal interpretations—particularly regarding male guardianship, polygamy, divorce, and inheritance—are rooted in socio-cultural biases rather than Islamic theological principles. Islamic feminists advocate for contextual reinterpretation (ijtihad) of religious texts to restore the egalitarian spirit of Islam. Through public education, legal advocacy, and collaboration with religious leaders, they promote reform efforts that challenge institutional resistance and conservative narratives. This study contributes to the broader discourse on gender justice in Muslim-majority societies by highlighting the transformative potential of Islamic feminism in reimagining family law in alignment with Islamic ethical values and contemporary gender equality.
