Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji fenomena sufisme perennial yang menekankan adanya kesatuan esoterik agama-agama sebagai tren baru pencarian spiritualitas masyarakat perkotaan Indonesia. Tulisan ini menyoroti ajaran sufisme perennial melalui konstruk teori perennialisme yang diusung oleh Frithjof Schuon dan murid spiritualnya yang amat setia dan terkemuka, Seyyed Hossein Nasr. Fokus kajian pada tulisan ini adalah kelompok sufisme yang mengusung ajaran perennial, yakni Padepokan Thaha yang berada di daerah Jakarta Selatan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa perkotaan Indonesia, sebagaimana di perkotaan lain di dunia, memunculkan gejala keagamaan yang tidak lagi hanya diwakili bentuk-bentuk konvensional. Tetapi juga bahkan bentuk-bentuk baru yang bersifat pluralis, universalis, dan eklektik. Gejala ini dapat dipahami jika melihat bahwa banyak dari aspek-aspek modernitas yang cenderung menguntungkan penyebarluasan model keagamaan demikian. Tidak heran jika kebanyakan dari anggotanya berasal dari kelas menengah dan telah memiliki karier yang luas dalam pendidikan formal, termasuk pendidikan tingkat universitas, yang memang terbiasa menerima ide-ide baru. This research studies about Sufism perennial phenomenon which emphasizes esoteric unity of religions as a new trend in spirituality searching of urban people in Indonesia. This research focuses on perennial Sufism teaching through perennials theory of Sufism developed by Frithjof Schuon and his well known student, Sayyed Hossein Nasr. This study focused on Sufism group which hold Sufism perennial; Padepokan Thaha in South Jakarta. This research concluded that in Indonesian city, as generally emerged in other city in the world, the symptoms of religiosity are no longer represented by the conventional one. But there is also new shape of religiosity which more pluralist, Universalist, and eclectic. These symptoms can be understood if we look at some phenomena which benefit dissemination of this new model of religiosity. Therefore it is not weird for us if the follower of this perennial Sufism teaching is embraced by people from middle class with high education, especially those from universities who are generally easy to accept new ideas.

Abstract

In Indonesia, tariqa has become a choice to counter and fight against the radical groups that target youngsters as prey. An obvious example is the organization of Mahasiswa Ahlith Thariqah Al Mu‘tabarah An Nahdliyyah (MATAN). By employing the phenomenological approach, this study considered MATAN as a Muslim youth organization that strongly emphasizes radicalism and positivism among youngsters, especially college students. Also, it maintained that MATAN has strived to synergize intellectuality and spirituality among the students, with claims of loyalty to the preservation of moderate, tolerant, inclusive, and consistent Islam. This preservation concerns sharī‘ah, ḥaqīqah, and ma‘rifah, and simultaneously maintains awareness as an integral part of Indonesian people living in the country. Therefore, they must obey the country’s rules imbued with Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. These points can inspire every activity of the members of MATAN to actively promote and engage themselves in de-radicalization efforts. Meanwhile, the findings confirmed several studies and surveys conducted in Morocco, Algeria, and Mali, asserting that the tariqa has become a new fondness and is believed to be a savior of youngsters from religious extremism.

Abstract

This article examines perennials’ understanding through the Javanese mysticism tradition that has developed before and after the arrival of Islam. The focus on perennials in this article is based on recognizing and equality of noble values in every religion that has ever developed in Javanese society, such as Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. Previous studies have emphasized that Javanese mysticism is studied from the acculturation of culture with religion. Even this understanding of religion is considered the antithesis of religious exclusivism and conservatism that is currently developing. It is just that the study of Javanese mysticism in the approach of religious perennials is infrequent and limited. This study uses a library research method to reveal the values of mysticism that develop across the religious boundaries of Javanese society. The findings of this study are that there are several teachings of Javanese mysticism, including the conceptions of tantrism, tantularism, and manunggaling kawula gusti. These conceptions illustrate the openness of Javanese society to various religions. They believe that in religions, there is a commonality in ultimate truth or divinity and mystical unity.

Abstract

This study focuses on how the adaptation efforts and survival strategies of local communities in Indonesia to the non-natural pressure on nature and the value of their local wisdom in protecting and preserving the environment. Anthropological, ecological, and related literature on local communities are used as a review and analytical framework. The selected local communities are the Mentawai tribe, the slopes of Mount Merapi, and the Balinese in Indonesia. These three case studies show that the adaptations and strategies carried out by local communities are diverse and have different knowledge implications. The Mentawai tribe in maintaining the tradition of arat sabulungan and Balinese in revitalizing Wariga can adjust and adapt well when faced with natural ecological cycles and non-natural penetration. That is because its application is more flexible, practical, and intellectual than putting forward the device of beliefs and myths. While the case of the local community on the slopes of Merapi, which has local significance in the form of cosmological teachings in disaster management, tends to prioritize faith that is rooted more in myth than knowledge related to the objective world. Therefore, when this set of knowledge in local wisdom struggles to surpass marginalized status, the two cases of the Mentawai and Balinese communities can become persuasive and adaptive. In contrast, the local community on the slopes of Merapi is more challenging to adapt. The study also recommends that it is time for traditional knowledge originating from local wisdom in Indonesia to be adapted, modified and used as an essential resource in managing contemporary environmental issues effectively and collaboratively.

Abstract

Youth as religious peacebuilding actors still receive less attention in academic studies and peace praxis. It often makes youth being depicted as victims or as perpetrators of violence in religious conflict. This study specifically seeks to explore the efforts of youth involvement and also to strengthen the capacity of the youth in making religious peacebuilding in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra. By using the action research method, this research found that Bukittinggi is at negative peace, which is still at the level of mere absence of war and saving the seeds of mutual suspicion between interfaith believers. It is undoubtedly because of a lack of interaction and openness between the interfaith believers. As for the strengthening efforts are undertaken through interfaith youth forum, youth for peace workshop, and the initiation of the interfaith youth organization. That various efforts give hope for the future of religious peace in Bukittinggi from negative peace to positive peace. It is because youth offer creative energy and active potential to transform violent conflict and foster active peace. Keywords: Youth, Religious Peacebuilding, Negative Peace, Positive Peace, Bukittinggi.

Abstract

This article examines how Tarekat Qadiriyah wa Naqshabandiyah (TQN) utilizes online media to strengthen its existence. As an integral part of the Islamic revival in Indonesia, Sufi orders (tarekat) are facing remarkable challenges and opportunities in maintaining their existence in the digital era. Nevertheless, previous studies observed Sufi orders as a traditional community that would be exterminated by the pace of modernization and globalization. This article argues that Sufi orders may survive in the internet of things era, contrary to preceding discourses. Based on ethnography research, both online and offline, the authors found out that the vitality of the Sufi order can adapt, develop, and innovate using online media. TQN's use of online media through various platforms proves Sufi order’s adaptive efforts to the internet-based era. TQN’s online media provide informations on Islamic  and Sufism teachings, news, schedule of activities, and fundraising. Even though TQN members’ being active in cyber-Islamic environments, they resist online asceticism thus leverage the vertical-personal obedience, conservative authorities, and sacred rituals. These practices done by TQN members illuminate its identity as an authentic online sufism. Premises shown in this paper may enrich the scope of study within the relationship of Sufi orders and Islamic-cyber environment, especially in Indonesian context.

Abstract

Ruang demokrasi yang tercipta sebagai akibat lanjutan dari gerakan reformasi telah menjadi arena kontestasi aneka kekuatan politik gerakan keagamaan. Masjid, sebagai pusat aktivitas masyarakat, pun menjadi arena kontestasi berbagai kelompok keagamaan dalam penyemaian dan penyebaran ideologi mereka. Tulisan ini fokus untuk memotret fenomena persebaran ideologi Islam radikal di Bekasi Jawa Barat, yang secara khusus menempatkan masjid yang berdasarkan survey awal terindikasi dimasuki kelompok yang mendukung ISIS, sebagai unit analisisnya; Bagaimana modus operandi dan strategi kelompok radikal tersebut dalam mempengaruhi DKM masjid. Pengetahuan akan hasil penelitian ini, nantinya dapat menutupi fakta tentang kurangnya pengetahuan yang memadai tentang modus ekspansi dan strategi gerakan kelompok radikal tersebut telah membuat mereka berpengaruh meskipun dalam jumlah terbatas di beberapa masjid. Dengan menjadikan dua masjid yang ada di Kota Bekasi sebagai studi kasusnya, tulisan ini menemukan berbagai variabel seperti situasi lingkungan dan transfer kognisi yang kondusif, muatan materi keagamaan, serta pengurus DKM dan penceramah yang memili-ki perspektif ideologi radikal memberikan implikasi dalam penyebaran ide¬ologi yang sesuai dengan kelompoknya. Dengan kata lain, masjid sebagai basis keagamaan masyarakat menjadi salah satu wadah strategis bagi kelompok keagamaan untuk menyebarkan ideologi mereka.

Abstract

This article aimed to analyze the relationship between religion and hoax related to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the role of interfaith youth in countering negative narratives developed in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra. In the context of a religious community like Bukittinggi, religion is one of the constructive instruments that must be considered. This research used the action research method. This research began with mapping the condition of hoaxes related to COVID-19 in Bukittingi through three Focus Group Discussions (FGD). Researcher was also involved with partners in intervening through local training activities to strengthen the capacity of interfaith youth to respond to hoaxes. This research showed that apart from religious leaders, interfaith youths play an essential role in breaking the chain of hoaxes related to COVID-19 through counter-narratives. In addition, this research showed a trend of positive change in interfaith youth, from being only passive objects of COVID-19 hoaxes to being active agents who carry out hoax counter-narratives through various media. As the dominant population in Indonesia that is so massive in the use of the internet and social media, young people have great potential to become 'victims' of hoax narratives. However, with the increasing number of digital literacies received by young people, they also have great potential to become agents who can break the chain of hoaxes.

Abstract

The development of science and technology today shows two contradictory faces. On the one hand, science and technology provide so much convenience for humans, but on the other hand it also provides so many serious, complex and multidimensional global crises such as the environmental crisis. Therefore, this paper tries to “see” the Sufistic approach as the spiritual (esoteric) dimension of Islam towards nature in order to contribute positively to efforts to overcome the environmental crisis. This research is a library-based research with a qualitative approach. Through library research, it is found that Sufism with its doctrines such as wahdat al-wujud, al-insan al-kamil, amanah-khalifah, as well as its practical guidance through maqamat and ahwal, 'ilm and 'amal, can contribute positively in changing the worldview of modern humans who are anthropocentric into spiritualists. Because with these doctrines, modern humans are invited to rediscover the vision of divinity that they have left behind, and understand that nature is a theophany (tajalli) of God that cannot be separated from God Himself. They are also required to treat nature responsibly, as it is an amanah to them as God's khalifah on earth.
