Abstract

This research delves into the phenomenon of Urip Sejati adherence among the community of Onggosoro in Giritengah. Urip Sejati is a religious concept rooted in Javanese spirituality, emphasizing a path of devotion that seeks inner enlightenment and harmony. The study employs a comprehensive lens of religious moderation to examine individuals' practices, beliefs, and attitudes to illuminate how Urip Sejati followers negotiate their spiritual pursuits within the context of contemporary religious dynamics. Drawing upon a qualitative approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of relevant documents. The research sought to explore the extent to which Urip Sejati adherents embody religious moderation in their daily lives, how their practices reflect principles of inclusivity, tolerance, and interfaith dialogue, and whether their spiritual journey promotes social cohesion within the broader community. Findings reveal diverse expressions of Urip Sejati devotion, with adherents navigating a balance between individual spiritual exploration and communal interconnectedness. Furthermore, the study uncovers various factors influencing religious moderation within the Urip Sejati context, including historical and cultural backgrounds, socio-political dynamics, and interactions with neighboring religious traditions. This research contributes to the existing discourse on religious moderation, highlighting the significance of local spiritual practices in fostering tolerance and coexistence. It underscores the need for nuanced understandings of religiosity beyond traditional institutional frameworks and posits Urip Sejati as a compelling case study for engaging with the intricacies of religious diversity in contemporary society. The findings not only enrich our comprehension of Urip Sejati as a religious phenomenon but also contribute to broader discussions on the dynamic interplay between devotion, moderation, and communal dynamics in the realm of faith

Abstract

This article investigates the gendered ethics of sexuality in Q.S. Yūsuf [12]:23–24 through Sahiron Syamsuddin's ma'na-cum-maghza hermeneutical framework, which integrates textual meaning with evolving ethical significance. Contemporary social discourses frequently construct sexuality as a burden borne by women, casting them as primary sexual objects and assigning responsibility for sexual misconduct to their bodies and behavior. Traditional interpretations of the Yūsuf–Zulaykhā episode have often reinforced this imbalance by foregrounding female desire while minimizing male sexual agency. Through a linguistic, contextual, and intratextual analysis (ma'na), followed by an exploration of historical, contemporary, and ideal significances (maghza), this study argues that the Qur'anic narrative actually affirms a more equitable ethical vision. The text acknowledges both Yūsuf and Zulaykhā as sexual subjects possessing desire and moral agency, while distinguishing them based on the ethical management of that desire rather than on gender. The findings demonstrate that: (1) sexual inclination is a universal human condition rooted in fiṭrah; (2) moral accountability applies equally to men and women; and (3) wrongdoing arises not from sexuality itself, but from its coercive or unjust enactment. Thus, the narrative offers a Qur'anic foundation for gender-equitable sexual ethics, challenging patriarchal interpretations that stigmatize female desire and absolve male responsibility.
