Abstract

On September 22, 2021, Cinta Laura delivered a commencement speech at the Launching Night for Religious Moderation Action held by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Cinta Laura is known as a young female artist and grew up in an environment of Western education. Her attendance conveys a significant message about what and who the main target of the religious moderation policy is. This article employed a critical discourse analysis method to examine religious moderation through the lens of the hegemonic state policy. Secondary data are obtained from books, articles, opinions, and news in both print and electronic mass media that explain the concepts and ideas of religious moderation, especially since 2020. The question is, how is the policy of religious moderation constructed today? What is the purpose of the policy? The article argues that the state promotes religious moderation to strengthen the legitimacy of the new nationalism. This policy aims to nationalize religious views to influence how people view the relationship between religion and the state. It is accomplished, in part, by implementing policies that promote the debunking of narratives of religious intolerance, especially in educational institutions. Additionally, the state promotes socio-cultural norms that are perceived as beneficial to the state in terms of maintaining stability. The critical contribution of this article is that, through religious moderation policies, the state has managed to mitigate the political impact of intolerance; however, this approach tends to be formalistic and ceremonial.

Abstract

This article examines haul as a community-based ritual economy and analyzes its relationship with distributive justice in Muslim communities. Although haul is commonly understood as a religious ritual commemorating deceased Islamic scholars, existing literature indicates that it also involves voluntary giving, collective consumption, social solidarity, and economic activities surrounding ritual sites. Using a qualitative design based on critical literature review and conceptual analysis, this study synthesizes scholarship on ritual economy, moral economy, social capital, Islamic philanthropy, and distributive justice. The analysis identifies two interconnected mechanisms of resource circulation within haul: horizontal redistribution through collective consumption and the provision of basic needs, and temporary stimulation of local markets through demand for goods and services. Social capital and religious authority provide the relational basis for mobilizing voluntary contributions, while religious values legitimize the circulation and collective use of resources. These patterns position haul not as an economy operating outside the market, but as a hybrid ritual arena in which community-based redistribution and market exchange coexist. The study further argues that distributive justice in this context is better understood as community-level access to material and social benefits rather than as a mechanism for resolving structural economic inequality. Theoretically, this study contributes by integrating ritual economy, moral economy, social capital, and Islamic distributive justice into a conceptual framework for understanding resource circulation in religious practices. Since the study is based on secondary literature, further empirical research is needed to assess the magnitude and distributional effects of haul across different community contexts.
