Abstract

The childfree phenomenon is becoming an increasingly discussed topic in the modern era, including in Indonesia. In a society that culturally and religiously considers children to be a blessing and the main purpose of marriage, the childfree choice raises controversy and debate, especially when examined from the perspective of Islamic family law. This study aims to analyze how the childfree phenomenon is viewed from the perspective of Islamic law and to what extent this decision impacts family resilience. The study is motivated by the increasing number of couples choosing not to have children for reasons such as career, personal freedom, or concerns about social and environmental conditions. The research method used is a qualitative approach with literature review and normative analysis of verses from the Quran, hadith, and opinions of scholars regarding the command to have children and the purpose of marriage in Islam. Additionally, the researcher also uses a sociological approach by referring to theories of family resilience to assess the practical impact of childfree within the structure of Muslim families. Data was obtained from scientific literature, Islamic documents, and in-depth interviews with several Muslim couples who practice the childfree principle. The main findings of this study indicate that although Islam does not explicitly prohibit childfree, there is a strong encouragement in Islamic teachings to have children as a form of continuing the family line, strengthening family bonds, and fulfilling the maqashid al-syari'ah.

Student interest in learning Islamic Cultural History is relatively low, with only around 33.3% of students expressing interest in learning Islamic Cultural History. This situation poses a challenge for Islamic Cultural History teachers in increasing student enthusiasm and motivation in learning Islamic Cultural History. This study aims to analyze the teaching skills of Islamic Cultural History teachers in enhancing students' learning motivation, as well as to examine how Islamic Cultural History teachers plan their lessons to improve students' learning motivation. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method. Data sources were obtained from fifteen informants through in-depth interviews selected using purposive sampling techniques. All informants were active students, Islamic Cultural History teachers, school principals, and curriculum vice principals. All interview results were then analyzed thematically using the Miles and Huberman technique. the analysis results indicate that Islamic Cultural History teachers possess good teaching skills in enhancing students' learning motivation, as evidenced by their knowledge and continuous study of teaching skills. This is further supported by interviews with school principals regarding the quality of Islamic Cultural History teachers and the excellent learning outcomes of students in Islamic Cultural History. Additionally, the lesson planning is quite good because Islamic Cultural History teachers have developed teaching materials as part of their lesson planning before teaching. This study can serve as an initial reference for future researchers in examining this issue within different contexts and contexts

Abstract

This study examines the construction of Muslim identity in Indonesian Islam by analyzing the historical and socioreligious dynamics between traditionalist and modernist Islamic orientations. The research employs a qualitative method with content analysis, drawing on classical and contemporary scholarly works, historical documents, and religious discourses related to Islamic movements in Indonesia. Data were analyzed through thematic and discourse analysis to identify patterns of religious authority, interpretation, and social practice. The findings indicate that traditionalist Islam in Indonesia is characterized by strong adherence to local traditions, Sufistic practices, Shafi‘i jurisprudence, and reliance on religious authority figures, particularly within rural communities. In contrast, modernist Islam emphasizes rational interpretation, scriptural purification (tajdid), rejection of blind taqlid, and the integration of Islamic values with modern education, social institutions, and organizational activism, as represented by movements such as Muhammadiyah, Persis, and Al-Irsyad. These orientations produce distinct yet interacting forms of Muslim identity shaped by historical experiences of colonialism, modernization, and global Islamic reformism. This study implies that the coexistence and contestation between traditionalist and modernist Islam constitute a foundational element of Indonesian Muslim identity. Understanding this dynamic contributes to the discourse on religious moderation, social transformation, and the sociology of Islam in plural societies.

Abstract

This study analyzes Muhammadiyah’s contributions to educational, social, cultural, and political development in Indonesia through the lens of the Nusantara–Middle Eastern ulama network. Using a qualitative historical-analytical approach, the research examines the intellectual trajectories and transregional scholarly connections of three influential Indonesian Muslim figures: Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah (Buya Hamka), Wahid Hasyim, and Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur). The findings reveal that sustained engagement with Middle Eastern centers of Islamic learning such as Mecca, Medina, Cairo, and Baghdad played a significant role in shaping diverse Islamic orientations in Indonesia, ranging from reformist Muhammadiyah thought to traditionalist and neo-modernist perspectives within Nahdlatul Ulama. Buya Hamka’s modernist outlook contributed to educational reform and socio-cultural transformation through Muhammadiyah. Wahid Hasyim advanced the modernization of pesantren education and strengthened Islamic educational institutions at the state level. Abdurrahman Wahid developed a progressive and pluralistic Islamic vision that reinforced the role of ulama in Indonesia’s socio-political landscape. This study demonstrates that the Nusantara–Middle Eastern ulama network served as a vital conduit for intellectual transmission, enabling Muhammadiyah and related Islamic movements to contribute dynamically to Indonesia’s religious, social, and political development.
