Abstract

This article examines the relationship between Islam and democracy in the thought of Abdurrahman Wahid and Fethullah Gülen through a comparative framework. It addresses the question of whether democracy is inherently compatible with Islamic principles or constitutes a secular construct in tension with religious doctrine. Employing a qualitative methodology grounded in contemporary Islamic intellectual studies, the research applies interpretative and comparative analysis to the primary works of both thinkers alongside relevant secondary literature. The findings demonstrate that Abdurrahman Wahid articulates democracy within a framework of religious humanism rooted in tawhid, pluralism, and the protection of human rights, whereas Fethullah Gülen emphasizes love, tolerance, and interreligious dialogue as the spiritual foundations of democratic life. Despite differences in socio-historical context and normative emphasis, both thinkers converge in viewing democracy as an ethical arena for realizing justice and human dignity. The study argues that religious humanism provides a viable conceptual bridge between Islam and democratic governance within contemporary Islamic thought.

Abstract

This article examines the role of Janengan performing art in reproducing Javanese ethnic identity among Javanese migrant communities in Kebumen Village, Lampung. Within a multiethnic social setting and migratory space, Janengan is understood not merely as an Islamic-Javanese religious expression but as a cultural practice that actively sustains ethnic continuity. The study addresses how Janengan functions as a medium for maintaining and renegotiating identity in a context marked by cultural interaction and social mobility. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in cultural ethnography and oral history, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. The findings reveal that Janengan reproduces ethnic identity through the consistent use of the Javanese language, collective performance patterns, intergenerational transmission of religio-cultural values, and the reinterpretation of symbolic elements such as sajen. At the same time, it serves as a space for social solidarity and adaptive negotiation of Islamic-Javanese identity within a multiethnic environment. The article argues that Janengan operates as a dynamic cultural strategy through which Javanese migrants preserve and reconstruct their ethnic identity in migratory settings.
