Abstract

The Office of Religious Affairs (Kantor Urusan Agama/KUA) plays a strategic role in fostering sakinah families in Indonesia. This article examines the functions of the KUA through an ontological approach, with a specific focus on KUA Kecamatan Medan Barat as the locus of study, by analyzing the nature of its existence, fundamental structure, and institutional relations within the systems of Islamic law and the state. The study employs a qualitative method combining a philosophical ontological analysis of regulations and policies with field observation and documentation at KUA Kecamatan Medan Barat. Data were collected through document analysis of statutory regulations, Ministry of Religious Affairs policies, relevant literature, and direct field data gathered from KUA Kecamatan Medan Barat. The findings indicate that ontologically, the KUA has three dimensions of existence: as a representation of the state in religious affairs, as an institution implementing Islamic law, and as a social institution responsible for community development. At KUA Kecamatan Medan Barat, these three dimensions manifest in its pre-marital guidance programs, marriage counseling services, and community empowerment activities within the socio-cultural context of Medan Barat. The function of fostering sakinah families is not merely an administrative task, but a manifestation of the state's responsibility to promote family welfare based on Islamic values. This article concludes that an ontological approach provides a deeper understanding of the essence and substantive meaning of the KUA's functions, which are not limited to marriage registration but encompass holistic and sustainable family development

Abstract

This study examines Mun’im Sirry’s concept of Islamic secularization and its implications for religion-state relations, democracy, and human rights in Indonesia. The relationship between religion and the state remains a significant issue in contemporary Muslim societies, particularly in Indonesia, where religious values, democratic principles, and human rights continuously interact. Existing debates often position secularization as anti-religious, creating tensions between Islamic commitment and modern democratic values. This study employed a qualitative research design using a descriptive-analytical method and a critical-hermeneutic approach. Data were collected through an in-depth interview with Mun’im Sirry, documentary analysis of his scholarly works, and relevant academic literature, followed by thematic and interpretive analysis. The findings reveal three main arguments. First, Sirry conceptualizes secularization as institutional differentiation rather than the elimination of religion, allowing religious and political institutions to maintain distinct functions. Second, historical analysis demonstrates that differentiation between religious and political authority existed within Islamic traditions and provides a foundation for understanding democracy as contemporary political ijtihad. Third, Sirry’s framework connects Islamic concepts of karamah al-insan, pluralism, and equal citizenship with human-rights principles. This study contributes theoretically by expanding discussions of Islamic secularization beyond the binary opposition between religion and modernity and offers practical implications for developing inclusive democratic governance in plural societies.
