Abstract

This article examines the founding of the Sonobudoyo Museum in 1935 as a form of indigenous cultural articulation within a space still governed by colonial power. Using historical methods and a postcolonial theoretical framework, the study draws upon primary sources from Djåwå journal archives and secondary literature on colonial museology, cultural nationalism, and tropical architecture. The findings indicate that while conceived within colonial frameworks, the museum served as a site of symbolic negotiation that enabled expressions of local cultural agency through traditional architectural forms, indigenous curatorial practices, and the active involvement of local rulers. The museum not only inherited the failures of a previous 1885 museum project but also served as a symbolic corrective. As such, Sonobudoyo represents a “third space” where cultural identity was hybridized and rearticulated at the intersection of colonial structures and local emancipatory aspirations.

Abstract

This study examines a comparison between the Islamic governance system and modern democracy, highlighting their fundamental principles, governance structures, and implementation in state affairs. The Islamic governance system is based on the Qur'an and Sunnah, emphasizing justice, consultation (shura), and trustworthy leadership, while modern democracy is founded on popular sovereignty, individual freedom, and the rule of law. A key difference lies in the source of power legitimacy: in Islam, legitimacy stems from divine revelation and Sharia law, whereas in modern democracy, it derives from the people's will, expressed through electoral mechanisms. Nevertheless, both systems share commonalities, such as prioritizing public participation and striving for social justice. This study also explores how these systems are applied in various countries, encompassing both theocratic governments and secular democracies. The findings reveal that Islamic values can be integrated into the framework of modern democracy to establish more inclusive, ethical, and contextually relevant governance. This research aims to provide valuable insights into the relationship between Islam and democracy while inspiring the developmentof governance systems that are more just and aligned with contemporary global challenges.

Abstract

This research examines the political principles of Islam based on the teachings of the Qur'an and their application during the reign of the Khulafaur Rashidin. Values such as justice, deliberation, equality before the law and social welfare are the main pillars of the Islamic political system. The article also reviews the implementation of politics by the four caliphs, namely Abu Bakr, Umar bin Khattab, Uthman bin Affan, and Ali bin Abi Talib, highlighting the successes, challenges, and policies they implemented in leading the people. This study confirms that politics in Islam is not only centred on power, but also prioritises the implementation of sharia, the creation of peace, and the improvement of people's welfare.
