Abstract

This study aims to analyze the potential success of a religion-based conflict-resolution approach grounded in non-penal policies of Islamic legal culture. The use of this method is important for resolving the Sunni-Shia conflict in Sampang Regency. This study contributes to the development of guidelines for regional governments on the use of non-legal policies to resolve religious conflicts. This study uses empirical legal research methods with a socio-legal and anthropo-legal approach. The findings of this study reveal that penal policies for conflict resolution are ineffective in resolving conflicts quickly and only perpetuate stigma regarding which religious sects are right and which are heretical. This study also reveals that, when attempting to resolve and prevent disputes, non-penal methods grounded in Islamic legal culture are more effective in resolving religious conflicts more quickly and peacefully, with a familial approach, while avoiding violent means in resolving religious sectarian differences. This study concludes that the non-penal approach should be strengthened by assigning a role to local actors within the Madurese tradition to conduct the resolution process, so that former Shia followers, who are still being rejected, can be appropriately addressed. This study recommends that the government adopt a non-penal approach to facilitate the immediate completion of the post-conflict reconciliation and reconstruction process.

Abstract

Religious radicalism poses a significant threat to social harmony and security, especially in rural communities where access to educational resources and legal guidance can be limited. This study, explores the use of Islamic recitation groups (pengajian) as a platform for preventing the spread of religious radicalism in Blumbungan Village, Pamekasan. The research focuses on empowering the community, Quran teachers, and local officials through legal counseling and training to build a comprehensive understanding of Islam and to identify early signs of radicalism. The activity aims to train the general public, religious educators, and village officials to understand Islam in its entirety, emphasizing tolerance and the importance of protecting the community from extremist ideologies. The method centers around two main activities: first, providing training to deepen participants’ understanding of Islam, and second, assisting the community in detecting and addressing the spread of radical Islam. These efforts help ensure that individuals can recognize extremist ideologies early and prevent their influence, protecting the village from potential religious extremism. Implemented over three months, the community service activities in Blumbungan Village have shown significant impact, enhancing the community’s capacity to independently prevent the spread of radicalism. The collaboration between the village government and Islamic recitation groups proves to be an effective approach to countering radical ideologies at the village level. This study contributes to the broader effort to strengthen local resistance against radical Islamism by leveraging legal education and religious practice, ultimately fostering a more resilient, tolerant, and united community.
