Abstract

This study explores the relationship between Islam, Averroism, and democracy within public education, emphasizing their impact on social equity. It investigates how Islamic principles such as justice (ʿadl), consultation (shūrā), and public interest (maṣlaḥah), alongside Ibn Rushd’s rationalist philosophy, can support the development of inclusive and democratic educational frameworks. Employing a qualitative approach, the research integrates philosophical and theological analysis with a review of educational policies in Muslim-majority countries, analyzing primary and secondary sources to assess the alignment of religious ethics, rational inquiry, and democratic values in education. Using thematic analysis, the study identifies challenges in balancing traditional religious curricula with modern pedagogical methods, particularly in fostering critical thinking and democratic participation. Despite these obstacles, it underscores the potential for integrating religious ethics and rationalist thought to establish more equitable and participatory education policies. By synthesizing Islamic traditions, Averroist rationalism, and democratic ideals, this research provides a novel perspective on education reform and offers valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and researchers. Future studies should explore the empirical application of this framework across diverse educational settings to enhance inclusivity and social justice.

Abstract

This study analyzes Nahdlatul Ulama (NU)’s deployment of Islam Nusantara as cultural soft power to counter global Islamophobia. Through case studies of NU’s diaspora networks (PCINU) in Japan and Australia—using interviews, discourse analysis, and policy documents—the research reveals cultural diplomacy strategies: haul (commemorative rituals), shalawatan (devotional chants), interfaith education, and cross-cultural dialogues. These promote moderate Islam rooted in local traditions, contrasting state-centric models (e.g., Saudi Arabia, Iran). Challenges include intra-Muslim fragmentation and Salafi-Wahhabi-driven digital radicalization, yet NU fosters global perceptions of Islam as adaptive and peaceful. The study urges integrating NU’s grassroots efforts into Indonesia’s foreign policy while enhancing multilingual digital counter-radicalization outreach. Theoretically, it redefines soft power by shifting discourse to position civil society as diplomatic agents, demonstrating how religious-cultural movements reshape transnational narratives of Islamic moderation. NU’s model elevates Indonesia’s global image as an inclusive Islamic hub, though sustained impact requires institutional collaboration, resource mobilization, and strategic communication.

Abstract

This study examines the strategic role of Indonesia's leadership in the Parliamentary Union of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (PUIC) during 2025–2026 to accelerate economic integration among Muslim-majority countries. Despite the large population and shared cultural and religious ties, intra-OIC trade remains stagnant due to regulatory fragmentation and weak legislative coordination. Drawing on neofunctionalism theories, this research highlights five key agendas proposed by Indonesia: harmonizing investment regulations, synchronizing legislative priorities, enhancing transparency in strategic projects, clustering key economic sectors, and developing joint investment packages. This article employed a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing secondary data from relevant literature on PUIC. The findings suggest that Indonesia’s leadership demonstrates how neofunctionalist spillover dynamics may apply in non-European contexts, but face institutional fragmentation challenges within the PUIC framework. Specifically, findings indicate conditional potential for transforming the PUIC into a catalyst for collective economic governance, provided that structural constraints and deep-seated policy fragmentation are effectively addressed. This condition strengthens the global economic position of the Islamic world.

Abstract

This article analyzes the reconfiguration of religious authority within the Indonesian digital ecosystem thru a study of three non-traditional da'wah figures: Syifa Nurfadhilah, Ning Umi Laila, and Akri Patrio. The three represent a new model of religious authority not based on scholarly lineage or formal institutions, but rather formed thru digital performativity, emotional narratives, and the active engagement of audiences on social media. This research uses a qualitative approach with digital content analysis and a study of audience interaction in the comment section as the primary data. The research findings indicate that religious legitimacy now operates as "authority from below," formed participatorily thru mechanisms of affection, psychological identification, and social and algorithmic capital. Syifa presents a narrative-based authority on healing and self-love that resonates with young women; Ning Umi Laila bridges pesantren traditions with digital culture thru humor and warmth; while Akri Patrio converts celebrity reputation into dakwah credibility. This finding supports the thesis that the mediatization of religion has led to the fragmentation and pluralization of authority, and shows a shift in da'wah from institutional spaces to open, horizontal digital arenas heavily influenced by platform logic. This article recommends the need to reorient traditional da'wah strategies to remain relevant amidst an increasingly digitalized and democratized religious landscape.
