Abstract

The story of the Prophet Yusuf in the Qur'an (QS. Surat Yusuf) has been transformed into a sacred text of Lontar Yusup culture among the people of the Osing tribe, Banyuwangi. This research aims to unravel the process of negotiation and cultural adaptation using an intertextual literary criticism approach. Through the descriptive qualitative method, QS. Yusuf's letter is positioned as a hypogram and Yusup's Lontar manuscript as a transformation text. The results of the study show that local copyists do not just carry out literal translations, but practice cultural transposition through three main mechanisms: narrative expansion that domesticates the geographical setting into agrarian cosmology and the ethics of the archipelago palace; modification of characterization from a pure prophetic figure to an ideal knight figure who walks the path of Sufism; as well as theological contextualization through the practice of performing the ritual of mocking the night before. In conclusion, the intertextual relationship in this tradition is not a syncretism that reduces the purity of the value of monotheism, but a form of civilizational negotiation and a harmonious cultural da'wah strategy. These findings confirm that sacred texts can be earthed as functional moral guides without having to uproot the roots of indigenous peoples' sociocultural identities.

Abstract

Abstract: Indonesia, with its abundant cultural and religious wealth, faces challenges from radical Islamic groups that are incompatible with local values and pluralism. These groups which tend to hold exclusive and intolerant. The two main approaches that have emerged for interpreting Islam in this context are progressive Islam and Islamic indigenization. Progressive Islam, pioneered by Farish A. Noor encourages the adaptation of Islamic teachings to the values of modernity such as democracy, human rights, and pluralism. Meanwhile, the indigenization of Islam developed by Abdurrahman Wahid emphasizes the importance of integrating Islam with Indonesia's local culture. Both approaches reject radicalism and support an inclusive and tolerant form of Islam. However, they differ in focus and implementation, Farish is more global and theoretical, while Gus Dur is more local and practical. Both approaches are visible in social practices, Farish and Gus Dur support pluralism and human rights, although Gus Dur also emphasizes the importance of local cultural adaptation in daily religious practice. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method through a literature review of the works of Farish and Gus Dur, analyzing the main themes of each approach. The results show that despite their differences, these two approaches can complement each other in promoting relevant and contextualized Islam, contributing to social harmony and inclusive policies in Indonesia.
