Abstract

This research probes the ramifications of globalization on Muslim identity in Singapore since its independence in 1965, concentrating on the four economic development phases pivotal to the nation's growth. It concurrently traces the post-independence evolution of Muslim life, specifically in religious practices and social norms. Singapore's globalization-driven economic ascent, its status as a developed nation, and its competitive business environment stand as evident outcomes. However, the Muslim communities grapple with the challenge of adapting to global shifts while preserving their Islamic identity. The study emphasizes the imperative of comprehending the intricate interplay between globalization and Muslim identity in Singapore. Employing the historical method comprising heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography, the research analyzes historical records and relics. Findings underscore the instrumental role of technology and social media in shaping Muslim identity, facilitating the dissemination of religious information and fostering global connectivity within Muslim communities. While the Singapore government's multiculturalism policy aims for interfaith harmony and recognizes the Muslim community's integral role, restrictions on public expressions of religious identity reflect the state's secular stance. This research offers a profound understanding of the complex dynamics between globalization and Muslim identity in Singapore, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities encountered by Muslim communities in safeguarding their cultural and religious diversity amidst the ever-evolving global landscape.

Abstract

Abstract: Within the domain of postcolonial nation-building and educational reform in countries of the Global South, the role of local intellectuals is frequently marginalised in international discourse. This article examines the figure of Bahder Djohan (1902–1981), an important yet relatively obscure figure in the context of modern Indonesian history. During his tenure as Minister of Education and Culture in the early days of independence, Djohan proposed a vision of education that integrated Minangkabau traditions, Islamic values, and the legacy of colonial education. The approach adopted by the aforementioned individual was such that education was regarded as a means of fostering moral character and facilitating social mobility, without the concomitant abandonment of local cultural roots. Utilising a qualitative approach, this article employs character study and historiography methods to provide a reconstruction of Djohan's biography. Furthermore, it conducts an analysis of his contributions to youth activism, women's emancipation, and post-independence institutional reform. Djohan eschewed imported ideological frameworks, instead developing his thinking through practical involvement in health development, gender equality, and national education. Djohan demonstrated equality of values with global figures such as Gandhi, Freire, and Tagore, especially in his struggle against colonial discrimination and his advocacy for social justice and cultural preservation. Nevertheless, his legacy remains conspicuously absent from both national curricula and international studies. The present article situates Djohan within the global discourse on postcolonial reform, thereby emphasising the importance of recognising local actors as key agents of change and agents of universal values in the history of global ideas. Abstrak: Dalam konteks pembangunan bangsa pasca kolonial dan reformasi pendidikan di negara-negara Global Selatan, peran intelektual lokal kerap terpinggirkan dalam wacana internasional. Artikel ini mengangkat sosok Bahder Djohan (1902–1981), tokoh penting namun kurang dikenal dalam sejarah Indonesia modern. Sebagai Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan pada masa awal kemerdekaan, Djohan menawarkan visi pendidikan yang menyatukan tradisi Minangkabau, nilai-nilai Islam, dan warisan pendidikan kolonial. Pendekatannya menjadikan pendidikan sebagai sarana pembentukan karakter moral dan mobilitas sosial, tanpa melepaskan akar budaya lokal. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi karakter dan historiografi, artikel ini merekonstruksi biografi Djohan serta menganalisis kontribusinya dalam aktivisme pemuda, emansipasi perempuan, dan reformasi kelembagaan pascakemerdekaan. Djohan menolak kerangka ideologis impor, dan justru membangun pemikirannya melalui keterlibatan praktis dalam pengembangan kesehatan, kesetaraan gender, dan pendidikan nasional. Djohan menunjukkan kesetaraan nilai dengan tokoh global seperti Gandhi, Freire, dan Tagore, terutama dalam perjuangannya melawan diskriminasi kolonial dan advokasinya terhadap keadilan sosial serta pelestarian budaya. Namun, warisannya masih absen dalam kurikulum nasional dan kajian internasional. Dengan menempatkan Djohan dalam diskursus global tentang reformasi pascakolonial, artikel ini menegaskan pentingnya merekognisi aktor lokal sebagai pelaku utama perubahan dan agen nilai universal dalam sejarah ide-ide global.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membaca ulang peradaban Islam abad pertengahan melalui pendekatan sejarah sosial dengan menempatkan masyarakat sebagai aktor utama dalam proses pembentukan dan transformasi peradaban. Kajian ini berangkat dari kritik terhadap historiografi konvensional yang cenderung menekankan peran elite politik dan intelektual, sehingga mengabaikan dinamika sosial yang menopang keberlanjutan peradaban Islam. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif historis-sosial dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa studi kepustakaan dan analisis dokumen historis, meliputi sumber primer dan sekunder yang relevan dengan konteks Abbasiyah. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis naratif dan analisis isi historis untuk mengungkap struktur sosial, relasi antarkelompok, serta praktik kehidupan sosial masyarakat Muslim abad pertengahan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peradaban Islam abad pertengahan ditopang oleh struktur sosial yang relatif terbuka, penghargaan terhadap ilmu pengetahuan sebagai modal sosial, serta keberadaan institusi intelektual seperti Bait al-Hikmah yang berfungsi sebagai ruang sosial dan simbol peradaban. Ilmu pengetahuan tidak dipahami sebagai aktivitas individual, melainkan sebagai praktik sosial kolektif yang terintegrasi dengan kekuasaan, ekonomi, dan budaya. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa kemajuan peradaban Islam merupakan hasil dari proses sosial yang kompleks dan berlapis, bukan semata-mata akibat kejayaan politik atau tokoh besar. Secara teoretis, penelitian ini memperkaya kajian peradaban Islam melalui penguatan pendekatan sejarah sosial. Secara praktis, hasil penelitian ini relevan untuk pengembangan pendidikan sejarah Islam yang lebih kritis dan kontekstual, serta membuka peluang penelitian lanjutan terkait dinamika sosial kelompok non-elite dalam sejarah Islam.

Abstract

Perkembangan Islam di era modern menunjukkan adanya dinamika historis dan kultural yang kompleks, ditandai oleh pergeseran nilai, praktik keagamaan, serta pola interaksi sosial umat Muslim. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis transformasi tradisi Islam dalam konteks modernitas serta bagaimana perubahan tersebut berkontribusi pada pembentukan identitas Muslim kontemporer. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi pustaka, penelitian ini mengkaji sumber-sumber historis, karya akademik modern, dan fenomena sosial keagamaan yang muncul pada abad ke-20 hingga abad ke-21. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa modernitas telah mendorong proses adaptasi budaya Islam, mulai dari reformasi pemikiran, pembaruan praktik ibadah, hingga munculnya ekspresi keagamaan baru di ruang publik dan digital. Transformasi ini tidak hanya menegaskan fleksibilitas Islam dalam merespons perubahan zaman, tetapi juga membentuk identitas Muslim yang lebih beragam, inklusif, dan dinamis. Artikel ini berkontribusi pada pemahaman mengenai hubungan antara sejarah, kebudayaan, dan modernitas dalam perkembangan masyarakat Muslim global serta membuka ruang bagi penelitian lanjutan mengenai praktik budaya Islam di era digital dan post-modern.

Abstract

The glory of science in classical Islamic civilization, especially during the Abbasid Dynasty, marked the peak of intellectual development in the history of mankind. This dynasty, which ruled from 750 to 1258 AD, became a center of innovation and scientific advancement. Strong support from the Abbasid government, such as the establishment of the Baitul Hikmah educational institution in Baghdad, created a conducive environment for scientific research and development. In addition, an inclusive education system that included various disciplines, such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and philosophy, enriched the intellectual treasures of Islam and made a significant contribution to science in Europe during the Renaissance. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a phenomenological approach to explore the experiences and perspectives of society during the Abbasid period. The results show that government support, the integration of Islamic values with science, and inclusive education policies play an important role in creating cross-disciplinary innovation. The works of Muslim scientists, such as Al- Khawarizmi, Ibn Sina, and Al-Farabi, not only advanced Islamic civilization but also influenced the development of science in the Western world. This study highlights the relevance of the Abbasid Dynasty educational model for the modern era, particularly in the development of educational policies that support the integration of ethical values, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and research-based innovation. By imitating the scientific spirit of the Abbasid Dynasty, modern society can create a more holistic and sustainable education system.

Abstract

The rising number of divorce cases in Indonesia reflects shifting gender relations within families and the dynamics of Islamic family law. Existing studies have largely focused on formal legal aspects or statistical trends, while limited attention has been given to how women articulate their gendered legal consciousness in the practice of wife‑initiated divorce (cerai gugat). This study addresses that gap by highlighting the novelty of analyzing gendered legal consciousness as a framework for understanding women’s agency in litigation. Using a qualitative case study design in three Religious Courts (Surabaya, Semarang, Bandung), data were collected through in‑depth interviews with 7–12 female petitioners and 5–7 court actors (judges, clerks, lawyers) in each site, complemented by courtroom and mediation observations. Purposive sampling with maximum variation was applied to capture diverse experiences based on grounds for divorce, socio‑economic background, and legal representation. Findings reveal that women strategically mobilize legal procedures and mediation to transform private issues—domestic violence, infidelity, neglect—into legally recognized claims. Although litigation imposes emotional and administrative burdens, participation in court provides new forms of empowerment and symbolic legitimacy. More importantly, women’s interactions with judicial processes shape gendered legal consciousness: they come to understand and reinterpret law as both a site of constraint and a space for renegotiating gender relations. Thus, litigation and mediation are not neutral mechanisms but arenas where agency is asserted and justice redefined. Theoretically, this research expands socio‑legal scholarship by situating gendered legal consciousness within Islamic family law. Practically, it demonstrates that Religious Courts function as dynamic social arenas where gender power relations are contested and women’s agency is reconstituted.

Abstract

The history of Islam in Southeast Asia and Africa cannot be disentangled from the dynamics of migration, colonialism, and spiritual resistance to subjugation. Shaykh Yusuf al-Makassari (1626–1699 CE) a nobleman, Islamic scholar, Sufi master, and anti-colonial resistance fighter from Makassar, South Sulawesi represents one of the most consequential transnational figures in the global history of Islam. This study aims to reconstruct the historical trajectory of Shaykh Yusuf al-Makassari, from his political captivity under the Dutch East India Company (VOC) to his enduring role as a foundational figure of Islam in South Africa. Employing a library research methodology integrated with the historical research method, comprising heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. This study systematically analyzes primary and secondary sources pertaining to Shaykh Yusuf's life, exile, and legacy. The findings reveal that despite being forcibly exiled to Ceylon (1684) and subsequently to the Cape of Good Hope (1694), Shaykh Yusuf succeeded in establishing the first consolidated Muslim community in South Africa through the clandestine transmission of Khalwatiyya Sufi teachings, thereby earning recognition as the "Father of Islam in South Africa" — a legacy later celebrated by Nelson Mandela as the foundational inspiration of South Africa's anti-apartheid and anti-colonial struggle.
