The simulation of religious practices within the metaverse represents a new phenomenon in the discourse of religion and technological adaptation in the era of new media. Through the use of virtual reality technology, spiritual experiences can be presented in immersive forms within digital spaces. However, this phenomenon remains underexplored in existing academic studies. This research aims to address that gap by analyzing the discourse surrounding the simulation of religious practices in the metaverse through a contextual interpretation of Muslim perspectives. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. The findings indicate that the simulation of worship in the metaverse is generally accepted by Muslims as a form of technological adaptation, functioning as a tool for education and the dissemination of religious knowledge, as long as it does not compromise the theological meaning or orientation of religious practices. The significance of this study lies in its contribution to building a reflective framework for understanding the interplay between religion and technological adaptation in the new media age.

This article explores how the Suku Anak Dalam (SAD) community resists the application of Islamic law in family matters, specifically in the determination of dower (mahr), the management of joint property, and the distribution of inheritance. While most SAD members have formally converted to Islam, their legal practices remain rooted in a matrilineal customary system passed down through generations. Challenging prevailing scholarly emphasis on integrative frameworks between Islamic law and local custom, this study demonstrates that, in the SAD context, resistance emerges when elements of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) clash with the community’s socio-cultural structure and shared values. Using a socio-legal approach and qualitative methods, the research draws on in-depth interviews with seven key informants, including a religious leader, the tumenggung (tribal chief), customary elder, community facilitator, subdistrict head, and SAD community members. The findings reveal a persistent orientation toward collective female authority: mahr is determined by the bride’s maternal kin group; joint property, upon divorce, is granted entirely to the wife; and inheritance follows a strictly matrilineal line. Rather than rejecting Islamic law on theological grounds, this resistance reflects a form of public reasoning grounded in ancestral consensus. The study highlights the importance of interpreting Islamic law through contextual, dialogical, and adaptive lenses—particularly within societies shaped by legal pluralism. [Artikel ini mengkaji bentuk-bentuk resistensi yang muncul dalam komunitas Suku Anak Dalam (SAD) terhadap penerapan hukum Islam dalam ranah hukum keluarga, khususnya terkait penetapan mahar, pengelolaan harta bersama, dan pembagian warisan. Meski secara formal mayoritas anggota komunitas SAD telah memeluk Islam, praktik hukum yang dijalankan tetap berpijak pada sistem hukum adat matrilineal yang diwariskan lintas generasi. Berbeda dari kecenderungan literatur sebelumnya yang menekankan model integratif antara syariah dan adat, studi ini justru menunjukkan bahwa dalam konteks SAD, resistensi muncul ketika ketentuan-ketentuan fikih dianggap tidak sejalan dengan struktur sosial dan nilai-nilai kolektif komunitas. Dengan pendekatan sosio-legal dan metode kualitatif, penelitian ini mengumpulkan data melalui wawancara mendalam dengan tujuh informan kunci: tokoh agama, tumenggung (kepala suku), pemimpin adat, pendamping komunitas, pejabat lokal, dan anggota komunitas SAD. Temuan utama memperlihatkan bahwa praktik hukum keluarga di komunitas ini lebih menekankan otoritas kolektif perempuan, tercermin dari penentuan mahar oleh keluarga pihak ibu, pengalihan penuh harta bersama kepada istri setelah perceraian, serta sistem pewarisan yang mengikuti garis keturunan perempuan. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa resistensi tersebut bukan merupakan penolakan teologis terhadap hukum Islam, melainkan lahir dari penalaran publik yang bertumpu pada konsensus adat. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya pendekatan hukum Islam yang lebih kontekstual, dialogis, dan responsif terhadap pluralitas hukum dalam masyarakat adat.]

This study aims to explain and analyze studies that discuss women's issues in political power in Southeast Asia, based on Scopus database publication documents in the last two decades 2004-2024. In addition to using bibliometric-based analysis methods, this study also uses VOSviewers application-based software in explaining and analyzing trends, patterns, and developments of studies that have been conducted based on Scopus database publication documents in the last two decades 2004-2024. The findings in this study show that the trends, patterns, and development of studies that discuss women's issues in political power have not been conducted comprehensively. The results of this exploration and evaluation are the basis for this study to recommend the importance of future studies that focus on analyzing the adaptation and transformation of the contemporary political system in adopting the welfare of vulnerable groups. Thus, knowledge about the conception and praxis of a political system that accommodates vulnerable groups can be comprehensively explored and evaluated, so that women's problems in contemporary political issues can be addressed effectively and efficiently based on the findings of future studies.

Intercultural communication disseminated on Instagram extends beyond visual content, encompassing culturally rich symbols that convey deep meanings. Despite its significance, this phenomenon has received limited scholarly attention. This study addresses this gap by examining intercultural communication practices on Instagram, focusing on language, culinary traditions, and performing arts content. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach, the research explores how cultural elements are shared and represented through social media. The findings identify three primary contexts: (1) the use of native languages to introduce linguistic and cultural diversity; (2) the dissemination of traditional culinary content to reinforce cultural identity; and (3) the learning and sharing of traditional dance via Instagram as a strategy for preserving cultural heritage. These insights highlight Instagram’s role as an active, dynamic, and educational space for intercultural communication. Komunikasi antarbudaya yang tersebar melalui media sosial Instagram tidak hanya terbatas pada visualisasi konten, tetapi juga merepresentasikan simbol-simbol budaya yang sarat makna. Fenomena ini masih kurang mendapat perhatian dalam kajian ilmiah. Studi ini bertujuan mengisi kekosongan tersebut dengan menganalisis praktik komunikasi antarbudaya dalam Instagram yang berfokus pada konten bahasa, kuliner, dan seni pertunjukan. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, dengan mengeksplorasi elemen-elemen budaya didiseminasikan melalui media sosial Instagram. Hasil penelitian mengidentifikasi tiga konteks utama: (1) penggunaan bahasa asli oleh penutur asli untuk memperkenalkan keragaman linguistik dan budaya; (2) penyebaran konten kuliner tradisional sebagai media penguatan identitas budaya; dan (3) pembelajaran tarian tradisional melalui Instagram sebagai strategi pelestarian warisan budaya. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa Instagram berfungsi sebagai ruang aktif untuk komunikasi antarbudaya yang dinamis dan edukatif.

The normalization of forced marriage as a response to adolescents' involvement in behaviors perceived by their communities as socially or religiously inappropriate, such as premarital interactions or relationships beyond culturally sanctioned norms, may result in complex and disproportionate consequences for the adolescents involved. This study addresses gaps in prior research by exploring the characteristics of these cases, the prevailing community interpretations, and the rationale behind legitimizing forced marriage as a form of moral resolution. The findings highlight three key insights. First, forced marriage is often constructed as a culturally informed response to situations involving behaviors considered socially sensitive. Second, People commonly understand such practices as preserving family honor and fulfilling communal or religious expectations. Third, these responses are typically driven more by shared moral and cultural frameworks than by considerations of the adolescent's rights and well-being. This study contributes to the discourse on Islamic family law by illustrating how community-based interpretations of morality, honor, and religious obligation may shape the application of legal and ethical principles in cases involving adolescents, particularly within the framework of protection and justice for minors.

This study examines the construction of death myths through eschatological concepts within the religious beliefs of the Abangan Javanese community, a subcultural group with a syncretic religious orientation rooted in Kejawen traditions. The primary issue addressed is the scarcity of scholarly attention to how localized eschatological narratives shape alternative interpretations of death, which are often overlooked by dominant religious paradigms. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, this research is grounded in theoretical frameworks of eschatology and religiosity to analyze how the abangan community constructs meaning around death. The findings reveal that death is not solely understood as a personal or moral endpoint but is perceived as the result of broader socio-religious dynamics, environmental conditions, and interactions with unseen entities. These interpretations reflect a unique epistemology that challenges normative theological discourses and affirms the validity of local spiritual worldviews. This study contributes to eschatological scholarship by highlighting the interpretive richness of indigenous belief systems and addressing the ongoing marginalization of religious knowledge within broader academic and theological discussions.

Purpose: This study explores Muslim perceptions and evaluations of virtual Hajj within the metaverse, focusing on its acceptance as a religious practice. Methodology: Utilising a qualitative descriptive approach, data were sourced from online news articles identified using the search term "Metaverse Hajj Discourse" on Google. These articles were analyzed to understand the diverse perspectives within the Muslim community regarding virtual Hajj. Findings: The research reveals that while Muslims acknowledge the educational and preparatory benefits of virtual Hajj, it is largely rejected as a legitimate form of fulfilling the religious obligations of Hajj, due to its failure to encapsulate the physical and spiritual elements of the pilgrimage. Research Implications: This study highlights the need for a nuanced understanding of virtual religious practices, suggesting that while such technologies can augment the educational aspects of religious rituals, they cannot replace the physical acts prescribed by religious doctrines. Originality/Value: The research contributes to the emerging discourse on religious practices within digital spaces, offering insights into the intersection of technology and traditional religious practices, and setting a foundation for future theological discussions on virtual reality's role in religion.
