Abstract

Strengthening religious identity politics can be identified as one of the main factors contributing to the decline in religious freedom in Indonesia. While religious identity politics may serve to mobilize certain groups or advance specific agendas, its escalation often comes at the expense of religious freedom and social harmony. Against Indonesia's pluralistic society and decentralized governance system, West Sumatra stands out for its unique blend of Islamic tradition and local adat (customary law), which often challenge the state's legal framework and constitutional guarantees of religious freedom. This article aims to analyze the impact of Sharia-based custom (ABS-SBK)-based identity politics on religious freedom in West Sumatra, focusing on government and social regulations. This study is based on data from interviews, documentation, and analysis of media reports and coverage related to freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) in West Sumatra, as well as a guidebook for the practice of ABS-SBK issued by the Provincial Government of West Sumatra. This article shows that identity politics based on Sharia and local customs has caused many violations of the freedom of religion or belief of minority groups in West Sumatra. In government regulation, local governments have actively enforced mainstream religious and cultural norms and limited expressions and ideas considered contrary to the mainstream. As for the aspect of social regulation, religion-based identity politics is an effective tool for majority groups in limiting the religious freedom of minority groups.

Abstract

The rise of modern humanism, with its promise of elevating human dignity through anthropocentrism, has paradoxically contributed to deepening global humanitarian crises. In this context, Islam, as a theocentric (God-centered) worldview, faces the urgent challenge of demonstrating its relevance and adequacy in addressing contemporary human concerns. This article explores the tawḥidic worldview of Alî Sharîʿatî and his critical engagement with modern humanism. Utilizing a qualitative literature review and a descriptive-analytic method, the study examines Sharîʿatî’s primary texts to uncover how his understanding of tawḥid (divine unity) offers a compelling theological alternative to secular humanist paradigms. Sharîʿatî positions tawḥid not only as the central doctrine of Islam but also as a transformative worldview that restores human dignity by re-establishing the vertical relationship between the human and the Divine. In his view, monotheism liberates individuals from subjugation to worldly powers by instilling accountability to a single transcendent authority—God—thereby affirming both human freedom and responsibility. The study argues that Sharîʿatî’s critique of modern humanism— whether in its liberal, Marxist, or existentialist forms—exposes deep contradictions stemming from the philosophical marginalization of the metaphysical. By re-centering the divine in discourse on humanity, Sharîʿatî offers a vision of liberation rooted in spiritual ontology. This research contributes to contemporary Islamic thought and philosophical anthropology by demonstrating how Islamic theology can respond to and critique the failures of modern humanism, offering an ethically grounded framework for addressing today’s pressing humanitarian challenges.
