Abstract

This article examines the role of Indonesian ulama in advocating peace in the aftermath of the 7 October 2023 escalation of the Palestine-Israel conflict. Employing a qualitative approach with a library research design, the study analyzes academic literature, official statements of Islamic organizations, and public communications of ulama related to the conflict. Data analysis was conducted through initial coding, thematic analysis, and theory-driven interpretation guided by Johan Galtung’s peace-violence triangle, John Paul Lederach’s peacebuilding pyramid, and Brewer et al.’s concept of bridging social capital. The findings reveal that Indonesian ulama function as multi-level peace actors intervening in the dimensions of direct, structural, and cultural violence. Their roles are structured across leadership levels: top leadership through MUI’s political diplomacy; middle-range leadership through NU’s transnational engagement and Muhammadiyah’s humanitarian diplomacy; and grassroots leadership through solidarity mobilization by religious communities. Furthermore, ulama effectively mobilize bridging social capital within institutional, political, public, and intellectual spheres to enhance humanitarian advocacy and global peace diplomacy. Conceptually, this study contributes an integrated model of ulama engagement in networked peacebuilding across local-global scales. Practically, it recommends strengthening government and Islamic organization collaboration in religious diplomacy and peace literacy to foster a more just and humane international order.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of qawāmah (family leadership) from the perspectives of Mahmud Syaltut and Muhammad Shahrur and explores. Its relevance to contemporary social realities and Islamic family law in Indonesia. The study is motivated by the ongoing debate regarding gender roles in Muslim families and the growing socio-economic participation of women, which challenge traditional understandings of family leadership. Using a qualitative library research method, this study collects and analyzes data from primary and secondary literary sources related to the thoughts of Syaltut and Shahrur. A comparative approach is employed to identify similarities, differences, and the implications of their interpretations. The findings reveal that Syaltut understands qawāmah as male leadership based on men’s responsibility for family maintenance and protection, while emphasizing justice, consultation, and cooperation between spouses. In contrast, Shahrur reinterprets qawāmah as a functional and conditional role determined by competence, contribution, and responsibility rather than biological sex. The study concludes that although Syaltut’s perspective remains influential within Indonesian legal and social frameworks, Shahrur’s contextual approach offers a more gender-responsive interpretation that accommodates contemporary family dynamics. Family leadership should therefore be understood as a partnership oriented toward achieving sakīnah, mawaddah, and raḥmah.
