Abstract

This paper examines the evolving dynamics within the traditional community of Benda Kerep, Cirebon, as they navigate the pressures of modernization. Employing a qualitative methodology with a descriptive-analytical approach grounded in historical perspective, the study undertakes the following steps: topic selection, heuristics (data collection), source criticism (verification), interpretation (data analysis), and historiography (writing). Findings reveal that the residents of Benda Kerep maintain a strong commitment to their ancestral teachings, customs, and traditions. However, since the 1990s, they have also selectively integrated modern ideas and technologies. For instance, they have embraced modern education systems alongside traditional pesantren-based learning and utilized contemporary technologies in their rituals and ceremonies, such as Muludan, Haulan, and Shawalan. This duality highlights their adaptive strategies in preserving cultural heritage while engaging with modernity.

Abstract

This research examines the role of ulama in education in three salafiyah Islamic boarding schools in Madura: Al-Is'af, Assadad, and Al-Usymuni. The main objective of this research is to analyze the works of ulama that are still used as the main literature in these pesantrens and to investigate how salafiyah pesantrens maintain the quality of traditional religious education while adopting the modern classical education system. The methodology used includes exploration to identify and inventory the works of scholars, as well as content analysis to reveal important information such as author, field of study, and book title. The study found that although salafiyah pesantren have incorporated non-yellow literature into their curriculum, they still maintain a focus on deep religious understanding (tafaqquh fiddin) through the teaching of classical books. The works of ulama are still the main reference in pesantren education, proving the important role of ulama in maintaining the Islamic scientific tradition in Indonesia.

Abstract

Abstrak Artikel ini membahas hubungan strategis dan penyatuan kekuatan antara Kesultanan Cirebon dan Demak pada abad ke-15-16 M dalam berbagai aspek, termasuk relasi kuasa melalui pernikahan, keilmuan, dakwah Islam, militer, dan suksesi. Permasalahannya adalah bagaimana terbentuk hubungan antara Kesultanan Demak dan Cirebon hingga menjadi kekuatan yang bersatu, dan bagaimana keduanya dapat mengembangkan hubungan tesebut sehingga memengaruhi arah perkembangan Islam selanjutnya di Jawa. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode sejarah dengan langkah-langkah heuristik, kritik, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Hasil pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa hubungan keduanya tidak hanya berlandaskan aspek politik, tetapi juga nilai-nilai keagamaan dan militer yang memengaruhi perkembangan Islam di Nusantara. Hubungan Cirebon dan Demak ditandai dengan upaya integrasi melalui perkawinan, pengaruh ulama dalam sistem pemerintahan, serta kerja sama dalam menghadapi ancaman eksternal seperti Majapahit, Pajajaran, dan Portugis. Konflik internal dalam Kesultanan Demak juga turut mempengaruhi keseimbangan politik, di mana Cirebon berperan dalam menentukan stabilitas kerajaan Islam di Jawa. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan sejarah dan analisis teori hubungan kekuasaan, penelitian ini memberikan wawasan mengenai dinamika kekuasaan dan interaksi politik antara kedua kerajaan yang berkontribusi terhadap perkembangan Islam di Nusantara.   Abstract This article examines the strategic relationship and unification of power between the Sultanates of Cirebon and Demak in the 15th-16th centuries across various aspects, including political alliances through marriages, scholarly transmission (sanad), Islamic da'wah, military, and succession. The problem is how the relationship between the Sultanates of Cirebon and Demak was formed to become a united power, and how the two could develop this relationship so as to influence the direction of the further development of Islam in Java. The study employs historical methods, incorporating heuristic analysis, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The findings indicate that the relationship between the two sultanates was not solely based on political considerations but also encompassed religious and military dimensions that influenced the spread of Islam in the archipelago. Their alliance was marked by integration efforts through inter-dynastic marriages, the influence of ulama in governance, and joint strategies against external threats such as Majapahit, Pajajaran, and the Portuguese. Additionally, internal conflicts within the Demak Sultanate impacted the region’s political equilibrium, with Cirebon playing a crucial role in maintaining the stability of Islamic rule in Java. By employing a historical approach and analyzing power relations, this study provides valuable insights into the political dynamics and interactions between these two kingdoms, highlighting their contributions to the development of Islam in the archipelago.

Abstract

The Pegon script has long and massively been used as a medium for the transmission of Islamic knowledge, primarily in Java at least up to both 18th-19th centuries AD. In the 20th century AD, its use in general nevertheless declined, except in the pesantren world such as Pesantren Babakan Ciwaringin Cirebon. More than that, KH Muhammad Sanusi, one of its prime leaders, produced works in Javanese by using the Pegon script. This article focuses on three research problems including 1) the position of K.H. M. Sanusi in the network of Islamic intellectuals in Cirebon; 2) The role of K.H. M. Sanusi in the transmission of Islamic sciences through the Pegon script; and 3) the continuity of the use of the Pegon script up to the present. This article uses a qualitative approach based on the historical method comprising of four steps namely heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data collection technique is carried out by literature study, observation, and interviews. The results of the research show that K.H. M. Sanusi is the main companion of K.H. Amin Sepuh and through the chain of the latter is he connected to the Cirebon based Islamic intellectual networks; K.H. M. Sanusi composed a number of books using the Pegon script and taught them to his  pupils as a form of continuing the transmission of Islamic knowledge; The use of the pegon script continues to this day in the pesantren world as being proven in Pesantren Babakan Ciwaringin where a number of newly religious works using the Pegon script are existent and  those works are even still used as sources for teaching Islamic knowledge.

Data was collected through library research, field observations, and FGD (FocusedGroup Discussion). The results showed that some aspects of economic practicesduring the Cirebon and Mataram sultanates in the 15 th to 17 th centuries AD were based on Islamic economic principles or sharia economics. Cirebon and Mataram’s economic policies referred to the principle of benefit, independentmanagement of land and state wealth; no foreign interference; fair land distribution to the people; just tax levies depending on people’s welfare; state revenues-based production; agriculture and plantations; as well as customsduties on goods and services.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of Indonesia’s halal industry requires alignment between economic growth and the principles of religious moderation, including wasaṭiyyah (balance) and maṣlaḥah (public welfare). This study analyzes how these principles are integrated into halal governance, certification, and policy frameworks while identifying structural and socio-cultural barriers that hinder their implementation. Employing a descriptive qualitative design grounded in interpretivism, the research uses document and content analysis of legal instruments (Law No. 33/2014 on Halal Product Assurance), institutional reports (BPJPH and KNEKS), and peer-reviewed literature. Triangulation was applied through cross-validation of academic, governmental, and media sources. The findings reveal that religious moderation is conceptually acknowledged yet structurally fragmented due to bureaucratic inefficiencies, inconsistent policy coordination, and limited accessibility for micro and small enterprises (MSMEs). Cultural resistance and theological diversity further constrain its application. The study contributes to the interdisciplinary discourse on Islamic governance and ethical regulation by operationalizing wasaṭiyyah and maṣlaḥah as analytical tools for inclusive halal policymaking. It recommends strengthening regulatory coordination, digitizing halal certification, and embedding moderation training within institutional programs to enhance transparency and inclusivity. Religious moderation thus emerges not merely as a moral principle but as a structural framework for sustainable halal industry development and global competitiveness
