Abstract

This research investigated the entry of Transnational Islam in Gorontalo, Indonesia, focusing on Tablighi Jamaat and Wahdah Islamiyah (Salafi). Addressing gaps in previous studies, this work explores why Gorontalo Muslims, despite early rejection, have embraced these movements. The study examines how transnational Islam responds to local cultural Gorontalo influences that affect the authenticity of Islamic teachings. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, the research highlights key factors contributing to this acceptance, such as the emphasis on returning to the Quran and Sunnah, reinforcing aqidah (creed), tauhid (monotheism), and the importance of faith and good deeds. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on transnational Islam by offering new insights into its adaptation within local contexts, particularly in response to globalization. The findings are structured around key themes, such as doctrinal purity, dawah efforts, and the rejection of political agendas, which resonate with Gorontalo’s Muslim population across social classes. The theoretical frameworks of modernity and religious authority inform the analysis, illustrating how transnational movements negotiate global and local dynamics while maintaining a commitment to return to Islamic teachings under the guidance of the Al-Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet.

Abstract

Social media has become a strategic tool in political contests in Indonesia, particularly since the 2014 GeneralElection, the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial election, and up to the 2024 national elections. This article analyzes the role ofsocial media as a means of political mobilization, framing construction, and discourse dissemination, including its impact on social polarization and political intolerance. This study employs a descriptive-critical qualitative approach, utilizing literature review and digital observation methods to explore the use of platforms such as Twitter (X), Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok during four major political events in Indonesia. The findings indicate that social media is not only effective in shaping political image (e.g., the rebranding of Prabowo Subianto through “gemoy” content), but also serves as a medium for spreading hoaxes, black campaigns, and the exploitation of identity-based issues (religion, ethnicity, and SARA—ethnicity, religion, race, and inter-group relations). Digital buzzers and online volunteers play a pivotal role in influencing public opinion, through both positive and negative campaigning, which has the potential to trigger social conflict. The study further reveals how vertical andhorizontal mobilization strategies including religious, ethnic, and capital-based mobilization contribute to the fragmentation of society. In conclusion, although social media enhances political participation, its adverse effects such as polarization and intolerance must be addressed through stricter regulation of buzzers, civic political education, and risk mitigation by election organizers. These findings offer insight into the dynamics of digital democracy in Indonesia and its implications for social and political stability.

Abstract

This study explores community responses to the use of loudspeakers during the Dikili tradition in Tomulabutao, Gorontalo, Indonesia. Dikili, an overnight religious ritual, often features amplified chants and hymns as part of the local soundscape and cultural identity. While these sounds are familiar and accepted by indigenous Gorontalo residents, they have sparked varied responses from non-local newcomers living in mixed housing areas. Using a qualitative approach, the study draws on in-depth interviews with residents to gain an understanding of their perceptions of religious sound in shared spaces. Findings reveal that while many non-Gorontalo residents gradually acclimate to the broadcasts, concerns persist regarding excessive volume. In response, mosque management implemented volume adjustments to strike a balance between cultural expression and residential comfort. The study emphasizes the importance of dialogue and negotiated practices in fostering social harmony within diverse, multicultural communities.
