Abstract

Purpose – This study explores the comprehension of students from Muhammadiyah higher education institutions concerning Indonesia's multiculturalism and its distinct ethnic, religious, racial, and intergroup diversities, termed SARA, esteemed as national assets. Design/methods/approach – Utilizing a qualitative approach, data was assimilated from a literature review, focused group discussions (FGD) of [specific number, if available], comprehensive observations at Ahmad Dahlan University in Yogyakarta, in-depth interviews with purposively selected informants, and examination of pertinent documents. Findings – Preliminary findings suggest an underdeveloped understanding of multiculturalism among the students, frequently leading to misconceptions. Rather than being viewed as an inclusive concept, multiculturalism is often perceived as threatening to certain religious adherents. Specifically, minority sects like Shia and Ahmadiyya are perceived with apprehension. This knowledge gap can be attributed to limited discourse by UAD lecturers, predominantly homogeneous student interactions, and a lack of engagement with multicultural literature. Research implications – The observations from this research underscore the need to enhance SARA-oriented educational strategies at higher learning institutions. Implementing comprehensive multicultural education can pave the way for mutual respect and appreciation of SARA diversity, especially within Muhammadiyah Higher Education Institutions (PTM). Notably, the research's scope is restricted to Ahmad Dahlan University, Yogyakarta, which might not necessarily represent other Muhammadiyah academic environments.

Abstract

The debate on the concept of maqāṣid continues to develop dynamically as its relevance to various situations and times. However, misunderstanding the basic principles of maqāṣid which are fixed (al-thawābit) and flexible (al-mutaghayyirāt) causes neglect of one aspect of the basic principles of maqāṣid, and unconsciously leading into dichotomy between the two. Ironically, religious understanding derived from it loses its spirit while maqāṣid is only for the sake of worldly interests while ignoring afterlife mission. This study aims to explain the universal (kullī) and particular (juz’ī) principles of maqāṣid and identify the right approach to implement both principles at the International Islamic University Malaysia. This research used a qualitative approach whose data is obtained through various sources such as observation at the locus, books, journals, conference papers, and relevant websites. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. This study found that the debate on maqāṣid must be contextualized by understanding the purposes of the Qur'an (maqāṣid al-Qur'ān) which includes the debate on the two principles of maqāṣid. In the discourse of maqāṣid al-Qur'ān, the discussion of maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah is a part that is particular and flexible (al-mutaghayyirāt). This research also found that the right approach to implement maqāṣid al-Qur'ān is with the fiqh of command (fiqh al-marātib). Conversely, the right approach to implementing maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah is with priority fiqh (fiqh Al-Awlawiyyāt). The integration of the two is practiced and implemented in the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization, International Islamic University Malaysia with a context that is very relevant to the context of fiqh that develops in Malaysia.

Abstract

This article explores the intersection of Islam and eco-theology within the context of Muhammadiyah. It is prompted by the current global environmental crisis, as the earth is facing various environmental challenges, disasters, and diseases. There is a growing awareness of the need to address these crises by drawing upon religious principles, a practice known as eco-theology. The article employs a qualitative research method using literature. Its goal is to delineate Islamic principles and eco-theology that can serve as guiding principles in natural resource management and to compare environmental theology from the perspective of the Muhammadiyah Central Environmental Council ‘Majelis Lingkungan Hidup Pimpinan Pusat Muhammadiyah’. The authors summarize the concept of Islam and eco-theology, which is based on five sharia pillars: monotheism, caliphate, trustworthiness, fairness, and istişlaḥ. Drawing from these pillars, Muhammadiyah has formulated key policies for environmental da'wah, including environmental charity (waste sadaqah), Muhammadiyah's independent environmental audit, adiwiyata (environmental care) schools, water use guidelines, environmentally friendly practices in offices, and virtual environmental da'wah and campaigns.

Abstract

This article is aimed at explaining how the political behavior of Towani Tolotang, a minority religious group in Indonesia, unfolds by using fiqh al-‘aqaliyyāt (Islamic jurisprudence of the minority) perspective. Accordingly, the current article discusses three aspects. First, the Towani Tolotang’s political activities. This correlates with the group’s position, which in terms of quantity is far fewer than the Muslim majority. Second, the national constitution’s provision ensures the rights of each citizen to participate in various aspects of life, including political freedom regardless of their position and status. Third, the Muslim majority group’s acceptance of the Towani Tolotang’s political activities. The data analyzed in the research were collected by observing the daily life of the Towani Tolotang, interviewing some informants, and studying document as well as literature studies on relevant documents and literary sources. According to the data analyses, it was found that there are apparent changes in the political behavior of this particular minority group, which not only include the distribution of support given to various political parties but also the active engagement of the group’s elites and followers in the general election wherein some of them have even become a member of the local level legislative body. The present article asserts that the Towani Tolotang is one of the minority groups in Indonesia that has acquired space to actively participate in politics, although occurring at the local level. This is not only due to the Muslim majority’s acceptance, but the Towani Tolotang group’s fraternization with Muslims as well.
