Abstract

This article examines polarization within the Hadhrami Arab population in Bondowoso, East Java, especially in light of the rise of the 212 movement and the presidential election in 2019. During this time, the national political climate has become more tense. The issue of religion, which is drawn to political contestation, creates polarization among Muslims, including Arab Muslims. In Bondowoso, the polarization aligns with the different religious understanding backgrounds such as Sunni and Shi’a.  Nevertheless, polarization does not lead to social conflicts between them. Departing from this description, this study then focuses on two things. First, it seeks to reveal the views of Hadhrami Arabs on several national issues based on their respective religious backgrounds. Second, this study also reveals Arab intra-ethnic relations with different positions in addressing national issues. This research applied qualitative research with a case study approach to examine this focus. The study found that Arab perceptions of national issues varied according to their religious background. These perceptions correspond to their respective religious understanding. Second, although they differ in political and religious positions, the internal relations among Bondowoso Arabs are running normally without falling into violent conflict.

Abstract

Kitab kuning (the Yellow Book) constitutes a central element of Islamic boarding school (pesantren) intellectualism in Indonesia. The religious understanding cultivated within these institutions is primarily derived from this classical literature. The kitab kuning’s heterogeneous content, combined with ongoing scholarly dialogue and debate among traditional scholars, ensures a dynamic and non-monolithic interpretation of Islam. In promoting moderate religious understanding (wasathiyyah), the kitab kuning functions as the primary form of cultural capital within pesantren. This study examines how pesantren fulfill the role of cultural reproduction, particularly regarding the transmission of moderate Islamic values, through the teaching of the kitab kuning. Employing a qualitative methodology, the research integrates a comprehensive literature review with empirical field data collected at the Nurul Taqwa Islamic Boarding School in Bondowoso, East Java. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's concept of cultural reproduction, the findings indicate that the pedagogical tradition of the kitab kuning serves as a significant resource for reinforcing and transmitting values of moderation to students (santri). This reproduction process is facilitated not only by traditional teaching methods, such as bandongan and sorogan, but is also fundamentally supported by the authoritative scholarly capacity and habitus of the teaching figures (kyai and asatidz). Their demonstrated expertise in classical texts plays a crucial role in shaping a tolerant and inclusive religious perspective.

Abstract

This study examines how Chinese Muslims in Jember, Indonesia, negotiate their unique position as an ethnic minority within a religious majority through the lens of fiqh al-siyasah (Islamic political jurisprudence). Using a qualitative approach that combines in-depth interviews with community leaders, participant observation, and documentary analysis, the research reveals three main patterns of political expression: a response of avoidance justified by the principle of preventing means to ends, an adaptive response rooted in expediency through strategic alignment with the Nahdlatul Ulama and limited individual participation. At the socio-religious level, Chinese Muslims have devised a complex dual-identity strategy that preserves Chinese cultural authenticity and Islamic orthodoxy through the creative application of the principles of custom, the distinction between custom and worship, and the architectural-ritual synthesis embodied in the Muhammad Cheng Ho Mosque. Their positions on contemporary theological-political issues—the Ahok blasphemy case, the call for a caliphate, fundamentalist movements, and Indonesian democracy—demonstrate a sophisticated application of political jurisprudence concepts, including siyasah syar’iyah, maqasid al-sharia, istihsan and istishlah. The study contributes theoretically by expanding fiqh siyasah to include ‘composite minorities’—ethnic minorities within religious majorities—and practically by showing how classical fiqh principles can provide a flexible yet sound framework for Muslim minorities navigating complex pluralistic contexts. The findings confirm that Islamic jurisprudence is inherently dynamic and contextual (rulings change with changing circumstances) and that creative cultural-religious synthesis can achieve social integration without compromising doctrinal fundamentals.
