Abstract

To a certain extent, globalization has provided religions with opportunities to play their roles more extensively and encounter each other more openly than before. In addition to its advantages, this has created a tendency of rigid and exclusive ways of religiosity among different religious believers when they encounter each other or with other cultures. For most believers, this is a way of claiming religious identities, which should be maintained and defended. This article deals with what Islam as a system of belief has contributed to religious pluralism. Using the thematic method of interpretation, it focuses on its analysis on Quranic verses of Ahl al-Kitab, a term that refers to People of the Book. The article argues that from the Quranic perspective, religious pluralism is valid and constitutes one of the main principles of Quranic teachings. Religions of People of the Book differ in terms of syir’ah and minhaj, but they at the same time share a substantial similarity in terms of din, which is seen in their shared doctrine of monotheism (tawhid). To this monotheism, Alquran calls other religions to find a common term. This inclusive religiosity plays as the basis of how Alquran responds to other religions: it acknowledges their validity as systems of belief and emphasizes the shared point as seen in its response to the opposition of People of the Book in the early Islam (Jews and Christians).

Abstract

The phenomenon of non-use of technology remains relatively underexplored. In West Java, certain religious communities choose not to use specific technologies, particularly within the Islamic anti-speaker group known as the Aspek (anti-speaker) community. This study aims to analyze the piety of Muslim members of the Aspek community in rejecting the use of loudspeaker technology. Data were collected through fieldwork, including unstructured interviews with leaders and members of the Aspek community, as well as direct observation. The data were analyzed using the multilevel model of resistance to information technology implementation as the theoretical framework. The findings reveal that the Aspek community’s rejection of loudspeakers is influenced by user-related factors, particularly religious beliefs and interpretations, as well as technology-related factors. These two aspects shape a form of communal technological non-use deeply rooted in cultural and spiritual values.

Abstract

Abstract This JASSR Vol. 7, No. 2 (2025) frames the intertwined questions of authority, legitimacy, and vulnerability in contemporary Asia. Drawing on Weber and Suchman, it argues that legitimacy is produced, contested, and repaired in everyday arenas such as digital religious communication, sacred memory, marriage and gender relations, regional policy, welfare distribution, and apology diplomacy. The issue brings together studies on Pakistani imams’ perceptions of online extremism, Islamic iconization in Madura, divorced women’s experiences in Bangladesh, Indonesia’s support for ASEAN gender mainstreaming, Bangladesh’s Open Market Sale programme, and apology diplomacy in Philippine tourism. Together, the articles show how Asian social science can illuminate the lived processes through which institutions, communities, and individuals negotiate trust, care, recognition, and public authority.

Abstract

Abstract This editorial introduction presents JASSR Vol. 7, No. 1 (2025) as a reflection on how people across contemporary Asia navigate change under pressure. Rather than treating acceleration, mobility, conflict, and digitalization as abstract regional trends, it foregrounds the everyday practices through which students, migrants, minority communities, language learners, and women educators make choices within unequal social conditions. The issue brings together studies on AI use among international students, informal railway settlements in the Philippines, the Naxalite conflict in India, Indonesia–Malaysia historical relations, Korean language learning among Indonesian students, and Afghan women teachers’ professional resilience. Taken together, these articles show that social transformation is shaped not only by states, markets, and institutions, but also by ordinary acts of learning, settlement, memory, solidarity, and aspiration.

Abstract

JASSR Vol. 6, No. 2 (2024) examines how people across Asia encounter power in everyday life and seek dignity within changing institutions. Moving from the Manipuri and Bishnupriya communities in Bangladesh to Benda Kerep village in Cirebon, from Indonesian Islamic higher education to narcotics law reform, from resettled rural workers in Vietnam to becak drivers’ views of Sharia enforcement in Aceh, the issue asks how identities are defended, traditions are adapted, gendered barriers are challenged, laws are reimagined, livelihoods are rebuilt, and religious regulations are judged from below. Together, the articles show that governance is not experienced only through formal policy, but lived through recognition, exclusion, adaptation, negotiation, and the everyday search for fairness.

Abstract

This  JASSR Vol. 6, No. 1 (2024) presents the themes of labour, care, and just transitions in contemporary Asia. It approaches the issue as an inquiry into how digital, climate, energy, poverty-reduction, and care transitions reshape everyday lives, redistribute risks, and raise questions of fairness. The articles examine short-video entrepreneurship among Chinese smallholder farmers, climate education in Indonesia, Laos’s hydropower geopolitics, community resource mobilization among Dao households in Vietnam, and childcare facilities for working mothers in Dhaka. Together, they show that transition is not only a matter of technology, policy, or growth, but also a social process experienced through labour, welfare, ecological awareness, gender equality, community capacity, and the uneven burdens of development.

Abstract This editors’ introduction presents JASSR Vol. 5, No. 2 (2023) as an inquiry into legitimacy, recognition, and everyday judgment in Asian societies. The issue brings together studies on populist party politics in India and Japan, Indonesia’s Chinese minority, public perceptions of Rodrigo Duterte’s leadership in the Philippines, customer satisfaction models in e-commerce, women’s education under the Taliban, and Qur’anic family life in Afghanistan. Together, the articles show how power becomes credible, contested, or morally judged in concrete social settings. The issue highlights the value of Asian social science that connects institutions, markets, families, public debates, and lived experience.

Abstract

This issue of the Journal of Asian Social Science Research approachescontemporary Asia through the intertwined questions of belonging andrecognition. The five articles gathered here examine Indonesian atheists’search for civic moral ground, educational exclusion among the Hazarapeople in Afghanistan, misogynic culture in South Korea, IndonesianMuslim diaspora in Western countries, and more than five decades ofIndia–Bangladesh relations. Although they differ in subject matter, nationalsetting, and method, they share a common concern with how individuals,communities, and states negotiate dignity, legitimacy, and voice withinunequal social worlds.
