Abstract

This study examines the representation of Muslim social life and interfaith relations in the Netherlands as portrayed in the film Merindu Cahaya de Amstel. Against the backdrop of lingering Islamophobia, which results in discrimination and intolerance toward Muslims, the film offers an alternative narrative that emphasizes tolerance, equality, and cultural sensitivity. Guided by a postmodernism framework highlighting the dissolution of boundaries between high and low culture this research employs an interpretive paradigm to explore the interactions between Muslim and non-Muslim communities, the extent of cultural sensitivity demonstrated, and the aesthetic dimensions embedded in the portrayal of Muslim life. The findings suggest that, while the film reflects a society that largely understands and respects religious and cultural differences, it also acknowledges the persistence of fanaticism among a minority. Overall, Merindu Cahaya de Amstel underscores the values of tolerance and mutual respect as fundamental to interfaith coexistence.

Abstract

The state policy regulating the concept of syibhul iddah for husbands as outlined in Circular Letter Number: P-005/DJ.III/HK.00.7/10/2021 has sparked debate among religious officials in Indonesia. This paper aims to discuss the chronology of the emergence of the concept of syibhul iddah for husbands and analyse the responses or perspectives of the heads of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in Indonesia. In addition, it also discusses the relevance of the concept of syibhul iddah to the reform of Islamic family law in Indonesia. Methodologically, this research is a juridical-empirical research. Primary data was obtained through interviews with several religious leaders spread across various regions of Indonesia, while secondary data was obtained from reference materials such as scientific articles, scientific books, etc. The data analysis techniques used were data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that the state policy through a circular letter regulating syibhul iddah is based on several reasons. First, the prevalence of covert polygamy in society, which can harm women’s rights. Second, as a legal measure to fill the legal vacuum regarding new marriages for husbands during their wives ‘iddah period. Third, as a legal measure to support the spirit of gender equality between men and women in carrying out responsibilities after divorce. However, in its application within the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), the circular letter still causes differences of opinion among religious leaders in Indonesia. On the one hand, the majority of religious leaders are very responsive and supportive of the issuance of the circular letter. On the other hand, there are a small number of religious leaders who criticise the circular letter.
