Abstract

This study examines the religious perspectives on the Ahmadiyya movement in East Sumatra in the early twentieth century. The primary research questions are: What was the official stand of the ‘ulamā’ of the Ahmadiyya movement in East Sumatra? What were the epistemological foundations of their views? To date, there has been no specific research on this topic. Thus, this study aims to provide a historical, sociological, and philosophical review of the rejection of the Ahmadiyya movement that emerged in East Sumatra in the 1930s. This is a library research study employing historical, sociological, and philosophical approaches. Al-Jabiri’s epistemological framework is utilized as a tool to analyze this research topic. The study reveals that the ‘ulamā’ in East Sumatra, particularly Tengkoe Fachroeddin and the Committee for the Eradication of Ahmadiyya Qadiyani Beliefs, concluded that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and his followers were apostates and infidels. In constructing their knowledge about the Ahmadiyya, they employed rational epistemology. This study argues that the rejection by scholars in East Sumatra is based on rational arguments in reference to the religious sciences they studied. This approach has negative implications as it facilitated the emergence of religious attitudes that are dogmatic, defensive, apologetic, and polemical.

Abstract

Studies on women in Islam continue to evolve despite having long been a focus of academic attention. In hadith studies, there remains a tendency toward interpretations that demean women, contradicting the original spirit of Islam, which upholds the dignity and equality of the sexes. This article examines the narratives of Muslim women in the book Sister Fillah, You’ll Never Be Alone by Kalis Mardiasih using Erich Fromm’s psycho-humanistic theory. The focus of the study includes the identity, role, and status of women in the modern socio-religious context, including resistance to gender-biased religious interpretations. The method used is qualitative text analysis with Fromm’s theoretical approach to explore women’s existential needs in the form of autonomy, freedom, belonging, and understanding of their normative rights. The results of the study show that through education and self-awareness, women can rediscover their humanity, which has been obscured by the patriarchal system. This book emphasizes the importance of valuing women’s bodies, the right to education, and recognition of women’s existence as whole human beings. With this approach, this article contributes to strengthening the discourse on gender justice in Islam through a reflective and contextual humanistic lens.
