Abstract

This study discusses a comparison of the determination of 1 Shawwal in Thailand and Indonesia, focusing on the methodology used, the role of religious authorities, and the social implications that arise. This research is a literature review with a qualitative approach. Data was collected through literary studies and documentation, then the data was analyzed in a comparative descriptive manner. The results of the study show that although the rukyat and hisab methods are used in both countries, the implementation is different. In Indonesia, the decision to determine 1 Shawwal is carried out through an isbat session involving various Islamic organizations, while in Thailand, the Sheikhul Islam Office has full authority in the determination. These differences affect social dynamics, with Indonesia experiencing differences in celebration times between mass organizations, while in Thailand, centralized decisions result in uniformity. These findings provide insight into how the methodology and structure of religious authority affect the religious practices and social relations of Muslims in both countries

Abstract

This paper examines the dynamics of Eid al-Fitr celebrations at the Niujie Mosque in Beijing as a representation of the lived experiences of multiethnic Muslim communities in China. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach and case study methodology, the research highlights how Muslims from diverse ethnic backgrounds—such as Hui, Uighur, and Kazakh interact and engage in cultural integration while celebrating Islamic traditions amid the dominance of Chinese culture and a tightly controlled political system. As the oldest mosque in Beijing, the Niujie Mosque serves not only as a spiritual center but also as a symbol of harmony between Islamic teachings and local traditions. The Eid celebration here functions as a religious occasion as well as a site of social interaction, cultural diplomacy, and identity negotiation. The findings reveal that the Muslim community in Beijing maintains its religious identity through adaptive acculturative practices, such as incorporating local architecture, serving halal Chinese dishes, and involving multiple ethnic groups in religious activities. These findings affirm that Islam in China is not monolithic but rather flourishes in diversity and blends organically with local culture.
