Abstract

This study explores the Maccera Tasi tradition in Bonepute Village, Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi, examining its intersection with Islam and local culture. Recently, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) of South Sulawesi deemed this long-standing tradition as shirk, or polytheistic, asserting that it contradicts Islamic law. This declaration was made by the MUI’s fatwa commission following public reports about rituals involving offerings of livestock heads, such as cows, buffalo, or goats, or other food into the ocean. In response to these reports, the Regional MUI team conducted a field research whose findings were reported to the South Sulawesi MUI. This report served as the basis for the aforementioned announcement. While some perceive the Maccera Tasi practice as an expression of gratitude for the harvest, others label it as shirk (polytheism). The present study employed field research, utilizing qualitative descriptive analysis. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research participants included religious leaders, traditional leaders, community leaders and local government representatives from Bonepute. The findings of this research suggest that religion and local traditions can coexist, fostering social cohesion without infringing upon Islamic law. This harmonious coexistence encourages the Bonepute community, particularly fishermen, to express gratitude for the blessings bestowed by Allah SWT. This gratitude is manifested through prayer, the release of seeds, and marine fish food, which are interpreted as forms of environmental stewardship. Therefore, this study contends that the perception of the Maccera Tasi practice as polytheistic is inaccurate. Instead, this practice represents an Islamic expression of preserving local culture through a process of religious and cultural assimilation.

Abstract

This study explores the dynamics of mining conflicts in the Konawe Islands, with a focus on the role of the religious moderation movement in negotiating and resolving these conflicts. Mining activities in the region, particularly on Wawonii Island, have triggered significant social, environmental, and economic issues, leading to conflicts between the local community, mining companies, and government institutions. The aim of this study is to examine how religious moderation, defined as efforts to promote balance, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence among different religious groups, can be applied as a conflict resolution strategy in mining disputes. This research is qualitative, with data collected through participant observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis involves coding, categorization, and interpretation to understand the conflict and the conflict negotiation process. The findings of this study show that religious moderation has the potential to bridge the gap between opposing groups by fostering mutual understanding and tolerance. Religious leaders play an important role in disseminating peace and facilitating communication between conflicting parties. However, challenges such as economic interests and deeply rooted views on mining activities hinder the full effectiveness of religious moderation in resolving this conflict. This study contributes to the broader discourse on the role of religion in conflict resolution, particularly in regions experiencing resource extraction conflicts. It also highlights the need for more collaborative efforts from local governments, religious institutions, and civil society to ensure sustainable conflict resolution in mining-affected areas

Abstract

Da'wah is the process of conveying Islamic teachings to the public through various methods adapted to the times. One contemporary medium used in da'wah is religious music. Music functions not only as entertainment but also as a means to deliver moral and Islamic messages. In Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), religious music has become an innovative form of da'wah that effectively attracts public attention, especially among the younger generation. This study aims to explore the role of religious music as a da'wah medium from the perspective of Hadith, using a case study of Alma Voice, a religious music group from Al-Mawaddah Islamic Boarding School for Girls in Ponorogo. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, combining literature review of Hadiths related to music and art with field observations of da'wah practices carried out by Alma Voice. The findings show that Alma Voice uses music to spread Islamic values through lyrics that promote love for the Prophet Muhammad, encourage piety, and strengthen Islamic brotherhood (ukhuwah Islamiyah). From the Hadith perspective, music is permissible as a means of da'wah as long as it does not contain elements contrary to Islamic law. This study concludes that religious music can be an effective communication tool for da'wah within the pesantren context when aligned with Qur'anic and Hadith-based values.

Abstract

This article examines the paradigm shift in tawḥīd from a theocentric–eschatological orientation to an anthropocentric framework by integrating the ideas of Ismāʿīl Rājī al-Fārūqī and Ḥasan Ḥanafī. Employing a qualitative, analytical–epistemological approach, Thomas S. Kuhn’s framework is used to trace the stages of normal science, anomaly, crisis, and paradigm revolution within the discourse of tawḥīd. Conceptual data are drawn from the principal works of both thinkers and analyzed comparatively and integratively. The findings reveal that the theocentric–eschatological paradigm continues to dominate Islamic scholarship and remains insufficiently responsive to contemporary humanitarian challenges. Al-Fārūqī’s tawḥīd-based principles, encompassing the unity of God, creation, truth–knowledge, life, humanity, and the reciprocity of reason and revelation, provide a multi-sectoral Islamic worldview. Meanwhile, Ḥanafī’s reinterpretation of classical kalām themes, particularly the doctrine of divine attributes, offers operational dimensions for transforming consciousness and guiding social praxis. Their integration produces an anthropocentric tawḥīd that supports the renewal of Islamic sciences, ethical–humanitarian agendas, and educational policy. This study contributes to restoring Islam’s vital élan as both a transformation of consciousness and a spectrum of exemplarity, offering a framework for contextual scholarly responses to the paradigmatic crisis facing Muslims in the digital age.
