Abstract

The veil, often perceived as a simple piece of clothing, holds complex meanings within urban society, serving as both a social phenomenon and a potent religious symbol. This article delves into the intricate dynamics of the veil within the context of contemporary urban life. It explores the dual nature of the veil, where it is not merely a garment but also a profound symbol of religious identity, modesty, and devotion. By examining the urban context, this research provides insights into how the veil is embraced, interpreted, and experienced by diverse communities residing in cities. The article discusses the complex social, cultural, and religious dynamics surrounding the veil and highlights its role in shaping personal and collective identities. Furthermore, it explores the challenges and debates faced by urban communities in accommodating the diversity of veiling practices and their implications for social cohesion and integration. This study offers valuable insights into the broader discourse on religious expression and cultural diversity within urban environments, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of the significance of the veil in contemporary society.

Abstract

  Symbols play an important role in conveying the sufis’ spiritual experience. Describing their mystical journeys has been proven to be challenging because  their journeys occur outside common people’s realm of thinking. Their symbolic framework are only known by those who possess pure hearts and the knowledge of kashf  (a state of religious epiphany where someone was given the power by the God to see what others cannot see). Therefore, this study is aimed to analyze the interpretation of a semiotic-sufistic discourse by Imam Al-Ghazali (1057-1111) on “The Verses of Light” (the Holy Qur’an, Surah An-Nur, Verse No. 35) in one of his works Mishkat al-Anwar. The analysis was directed to some terminologies within the verses such as Allāhu nụrus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, misykât, mishbâh, zujâjah, syajarah mubârakah, and  al-zayt using semiotic-structuralism approach in order to unravel the Holy Qur’an’s semiotic structure and Al-Ghazali’s interpretation which is filled with mysterious symbolic/esoteric messages. The findings in this study indicate that 1) Al-Ghazali expressed his knowledge of ‘irfan (a form of religious and spiritual reality where God’s secrets are unveiled) by utilizing symbols due to difficulties in explaining such spiritual experience in empirical terms to other people; 2) Symbols are the most effective method to decipher messages obtained through kashf. This was the reason why Al-Ghazali chose to use symbols to interpret the messages within the Holy Qur’an; 3) Al-Ghazali’s thoughts about makna batin (the deep messages) can only be interpreted by sufi scholars specializing in mystical intuition method through the holy prophetic spirit. By using this method, these scholars can understand the deep messages behind the realm of al-Malakut (the unseen) through suluk, a way of life where people stick to the teachings of Islam very deeply and with extraordinary commitment to please Allah, the Almighty God

Abstract

Refocusing strategy has become one of the fiscal policies adopted by the government when the COVID-19 pandemic hit Indonesia. This strategy involves reallocating the budget from personnel, goods, and capital expenditures to fund the National Economic Recovery Program. However, the implementation of this policy, without adequate preparation, can have performance implications. This research addresses the challenges related to the dynamic and adaptive state budget during a crisis. The method used is a case study based on facts, which is then analyzed using the theory of Budgeting Flexibility, considering three inseparable aspects in achieving budget flexibility: agreement on purposes, mutual commitment between parties, and creating agile organizations. Therefore, Refocusing does not compromise the performance of executing tasks and functions in supporting the implementation of programs aimed at improving the professionalism of teachers in Madrasah education. This research will serve as the basis for policymakers in budget implementation across all levels in the Ministry of Religious Affairs Regional Office for DKI Jakarta Province.
