Abstract

This article examines the concept of Islamic Wasathiyah from the perspective of readers of Sundanese, Javanese, and Malay local commentaries. The study employed a qualitative approach, engaging readers of Al-Ibriz in Pati, Central Java, Lanyepaneun in Ciamis, West Java, and Hamka's Tafsir al-Azhar. The study revealed distinct interpretations among these groups. Javanese readers understood Islamic Wasathiyah in al-Baqarah 143 as being in the middle of religious practices. For Sundanese readers, it carried the same ‘in the middle’ connotation but with a specific focus on social life, denoting neither stinginess nor extravagance. In the Malay interpretation of Tafsir al-Azhar, it denotes the position of ummatan wasaṭan, signifying a community dedicated to upholding the straight path. The study also identifies two primary indicators of Islamic Wasathiyah, i.e., balance and fairness. According to readers of al-Ibriz, balance is interpreted as wad'u syai fi mahallihi, placing something in its proper place, while readers of Lanyepaneun emphasize being fair to oneself and others. In terms of tolerance, readers of al-Ibriz perceive it as the absence of compulsion when embracing different religions, emphasizing that the choice of truth should not be a matter of dispute. Conversely, readers of Lanyepaneun have their own interpretation of tolerance. All these interpretations are shaped by the socio-cultural contexts of the commentary authors and their readers, providing a rich tapestry of perspectives on Islamic Wasathiyah. In sum, while the Javanese, Sundanese, and Malay interpretations of 'ummatan wasaṭan' share the overarching theme of moderation, each interpretation reflects the unique cultural, historical, and linguistic contexts in which it is situated. These interpretations demonstrate the Quran's adaptability to diverse cultural settings and its ability to convey universal principles through language and context-specific nuances.

Abstract

This research delves into the phenomenon of Urip Sejati adherence among the community of Onggosoro in Giritengah. Urip Sejati is a religious concept rooted in Javanese spirituality, emphasizing a path of devotion that seeks inner enlightenment and harmony. The study employs a comprehensive lens of religious moderation to examine individuals' practices, beliefs, and attitudes to illuminate how Urip Sejati followers negotiate their spiritual pursuits within the context of contemporary religious dynamics. Drawing upon a qualitative approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of relevant documents. The research sought to explore the extent to which Urip Sejati adherents embody religious moderation in their daily lives, how their practices reflect principles of inclusivity, tolerance, and interfaith dialogue, and whether their spiritual journey promotes social cohesion within the broader community. Findings reveal diverse expressions of Urip Sejati devotion, with adherents navigating a balance between individual spiritual exploration and communal interconnectedness. Furthermore, the study uncovers various factors influencing religious moderation within the Urip Sejati context, including historical and cultural backgrounds, socio-political dynamics, and interactions with neighboring religious traditions. This research contributes to the existing discourse on religious moderation, highlighting the significance of local spiritual practices in fostering tolerance and coexistence. It underscores the need for nuanced understandings of religiosity beyond traditional institutional frameworks and posits Urip Sejati as a compelling case study for engaging with the intricacies of religious diversity in contemporary society. The findings not only enrich our comprehension of Urip Sejati as a religious phenomenon but also contribute to broader discussions on the dynamic interplay between devotion, moderation, and communal dynamics in the realm of faith
