Abstract

This article examines the meaning and development of civilization and relates it to today's digital era, using particularly Islamic view. Society has evolved over several millennia, from small wandering communities to complex urban settlements. The population grew, a number of innovations were produced, and societies extended into civilizations. Civilizations emerge and decline, while sciences continue to grow and become more advanced throughout history. In the last few decades, the world has entered the digital era with very fast innovation and progress. Technological changes affect the way humans think, work, and behave. Digital technologies open up a number of opportunities, but also creates new challenges, including for Indonesia. Among the important challenges underlined by this research is the distraction and reduction of spiritual values and the essence of humanity, which are at the core of civilization according to Islamic perspective. It is a civilizational responsibility for today’s society to make sure that digital development will not reduce humanity and will not distract it from moral-spiritual values and objectives.

Abstract

This study aims to fill the gap and explore how Islamic parties have attempted to legalize Islamic law in both countries over the past three decades. Most scholarly works on Islamic revivalism in Indonesia and Malaysia focus on it as a sociocultural phenomenon. However, there is a lack of scholarship investigating Islamic revivalism through a political approach. This article employs qualitative research methodology, drawing on academic books, journal articles, reports, and online news to examine the efforts of Islamic parties to legalize Islamic law in Indonesia and Malaysia. The findings suggest that the accessibility of political channels significantly influences these efforts. During the Mahathir era in Malaysia, the availability of political channels facilitated the goal of legalizing Islamic law. Conversely, the agenda for legalizing Islamic law was hindered in Indonesia during the Soeharto era due to limited political channels. Additionally, the moderation of Islamic parties affects the agenda for legalizing Islamic law in both countries. In post-Soeharto Indonesia, the incorporation of moderation by Islamic parties has led to a decrease in prioritizing the agenda of legalizing Islamic law. On the other hand, in Malaysia during and after the Mahathir era, the persistence of the obsession with legalizing Islamic law was due to Islamic parties distancing themselves from moderate positions.
