Abstract

This study explores the challenges and opportunities faced by The Idrisiyyah Order, a prominent Sufi order in Indonesia, in adapting to the digital era. Key challenges include preserving traditional values amidst digital influences, managing data privacy and security, and providing digital education to members with limited technological skills. The research highlights how The Idrisiyyah Order leverages digital technologies such as mobile applications and e-commerce platforms to enhance its social and economic initiatives. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design focused on The Idrisiyyah Order in Tasikmalaya, the study examines how these innovations enable the order to market local products globally, empower small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and integrate digital strategies into economic and spiritual development. Findings indicate that the order's digital initiatives promote economic empowerment, social cohesion, and spiritual education. The effective use of media for da'wah, strategic management of digital content, and adoption of crowdfunding platforms for humanitarian projects illustrate the potential of technology to enhance both material and spiritual dimensions of life. The study concludes that The Idrisiyyah Order’s approach fosters a harmonious integration of traditional practices and modern advancements, contributing to community welfare and spiritual growth.

Abstract

The phenomenon of cryptocurrency adoption among Indonesia's urban communities is on the rise, following rapid digital economic development. However, the involvement of Muslim communities—including Muhammadiyah members—has sparked ethical and Islamic legal debates regarding the legitimacy and safety of cryptocurrencies. Diverse perspectives among religious authorities and the low level of digital sharia literacy underscore the importance of Muhammadiyah’s response and approach to this issue. This study aims to elaborate on Muhammadiyah’s response, legal (fatwa) arguments, and approaches regarding the phenomenon of cryptocurrencies, particularly in urban environments that are vulnerable to speculative investment and lack sharia understanding. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method with literature review, analyzing official fatwas, academic literature, and Muhammadiyah’s religious education practices related to cryptocurrency. It also includes a comparative analysis with other Islamic authorities in Indonesia. The Tarjih and Tajdid Council of Muhammadiyah has issued a fatwa declaring the use of cryptocurrency, as both a means of exchange and an investment instrument, as haram. The main reasons for this decision are its speculative nature (maysir), uncertainty (gharar), extreme volatility, and lack of clear underlying asset. Muhammadiyah believes cryptocurrency does not satisfy sharia economic principles and tends to bring harm to society. Muhammadiyah’s approach emphasizes community-based education, digital da’wah, and the enhancement of sharia financial literacy to protect urban communities from speculative investments and digital fraud risks.
