Abstract

The relationship between music and Islamic spirituality is complex and multifaceted, reflecting diverse interpretations and practices across the Muslim world. While some Islamic perspectives remain cautious or critical toward music, others embrace it as a medium for enhancing spiritual devotion. In particular, certain traditions incorporate music into religious practice to evoke emotional states conducive to spiritual reflection and a sense of closeness to God. Setiawan Djody, an Indonesian musician and businessman, exemplifies this integration by infusing Islamic spiritual values into contemporary music. His performances often begin with dhikr (remembrance of God), symbolizing a fusion of artistic expression and spiritual intent. Beyond his musical endeavors, Djody established the Hira Foundation, an Islamic da'wah institution that promotes religious values through cultural and musical engagement. Through these efforts, Djody illustrates how music can serve not only as entertainment but also as a meaningful conduit for spiritual experience. This study highlights the significance of using contemporary music as a vehicle for Islamic spiritual discourse, expanding access to religious reflection and fostering a culturally resonant form of da'wah in the modern era.

Abstract

This article explores the feasibility of implementing a contextual form of secularism in Indonesia by synthesizing the ideas of four major thinkers: Nurcholish Madjid, Rajeev Bhargava, Ronald Thiemann, and Charles Taylor. It argues that secularism, particularly in religiously plural societies like Indonesia, should not be understood as the exclusion of religion from the public sphere. Rather, it should be reframed as a political and ethical framework that promotes justice, inclusivity, and democratic coexistence among diverse religious communities. By employing a qualitative-comparative methodology, this paper introduces the concept of “Contextual-Inclusive Secularism” as a normative model that aligns with Indonesia’s socio-religious realities. The article also outlines strategic pathways to foster support for this model among key stakeholders, including the government, academic institutions, religious organizations, and civil society. It concludes that the realization of such a model is attainable within a 15–25 year timeframe, provided that sustained interdisciplinary and collaborative efforts are undertaken across sectors.
