Abstract

The Salafi preaching style in Aceh has prompted a response from the Aceh Ulema Consultative Council (MPU/Majelis Permusyawaratan Ulama) through a heretical fatwa on several Salafi teachings leading to communal conflict in Aceh. This article analyzes the socio-political background of the fatwa’s emergence, its impact on socio-religious conflict in Aceh, and Salafists’ resistance through a judicial review of the MPU’s legality. Combining literature and field studies, this paper demonstrates that the socio-religious conflict between Salafists and Acehnese society stems from the former’s truth claims regarding khilāfiyya issues. This is evident in the Salafi preaching style, which criticizes and hereticates some traditional Acehnese Muslim practices, that generated antagonistic responses from the MPU, society, and the Aceh government. The conflict has intensified after Salafists challenged the MPU’s legality in the Supreme Court of Indonesia despite its decline, which further solidified opposition to Salafi teachings and led to their marginalization in Aceh. This paper recommends that promoting tolerance by both parties is essential to resolving the conflict.

Abstract

The present study demonstrated that the "Contextual Transformative Ethics" model facilitates the integration of Islamic ethical values into contemporary governance practices, thereby enhancing national commitment and tolerance in Papua through the "Rembuk Amanah" mechanism, which respects local traditions.This research paper examined the synergy between Islamic ethics and modern governance in the implementation of a mental revolution in the Papua Religious Affairs Office through an analysis of value-based institutional transformation. This study addresses a significant gap in the extant literature on ethics in bureaucratic practice. While there are numerous studies on the subject, there is a paucity of specific models that integrate Islamic ethical values with modern governance approaches in diverse socio-cultural contexts, such as Papua. The objective of this study is to identify a model of adaptation of Islamic ethical values into modern bureaucratic practices, with a focus on the social and cultural conditions of Papuan society. The data collection process entailed participatory observation in five KUA, in-depth interviews with 24 respondents, including officials, staff, and service users, as well as the analysis of policy documents and operational records of institutions during the period 2020-2024. The analysis employed Tariq Ramadan's contemporary Islamic ethics theoretical framework, Ostrom-Basurto's adaptive governance model, and George-Sim's authentic leadership approach through the stages of reconciliation, presentation, and data construction. The research findings revealed the unique phenomenon of "Rembuk Amanah" as a cultural negotiation mechanism between Islamic values and local wisdom. Furthermore, the identification of the "Agent of Change" group, which has developed a digital-based service system while maintaining a traditional personal touch, was noted. The research yielded a model of "Contextual Transformative Ethics" and the concept of "Responsive-Adaptive Governance," which describes the dynamic interaction between bureaucratic structures, ethical values, and cultural contexts in institutional transformation. The study's limitations stem from its narrow geographical scope and cross-sectional design, which precludes a comprehensive analysis of long-term change.

Abstract

This study examines the interaction between Islamic law and customary law in the context of sogit marriage prohibitions among the Muslim Kadazandusun community in Ranau, Sabah, Malaysia, focusing on applying ʿurf within a framework of legal pluralism. Employing a socio-legal approach combined with empirical methods—including legal document analysis, in-depth interviews with customary and religious authorities, and direct observation—this research identifies eleven categories of marriages within the Adat Resam (AR) of Himbaan Village, analyzed through the Islamic legal concept of ʿurf (custom). The findings reveal a pattern of selective accommodation: AR 8 (polygamy) and AR 10 (marriage preceding that of an elder sibling) are classified as ʿurf ṣaḥīḥ (valid custom), whereas AR 1 (cousin marriage) and AR 11 (marriage with a relative of a former spouse) constitute ʿurf fāsid (invalid custom). Other prohibitions involving illicit sexual relations and familial disruption (AR 2–7) are excluded from ʿurf categorization, as they are explicitly prohibited in Islam. The sogit system, originally an animistic conflict-resolution mechanism involving blood sacrifice or monetary compensation, has evolved into a practice of social reconciliation aligned with the Islamic concept of iṣlāḥ. The Native Customary Law Enactment 1995 institutionalizes this negotiation process. This study contributes significantly to contemporary Islamic legal scholarship in Southeast Asia by demonstrating the flexible application of uṣūl al-fiqh principles, particularly ʿurf, in the pluralistic legal realities of a Muslim minority society. The model of selective integration illustrates how customary and Islamic legal systems may operate complementarily, provided they do not contradict sharīʿa, thereby enabling the preservation of cultural identity alongside religious obligations.
