Abstract

Abstract: Several gravediggers only use predictions to determine qibla direction during burials without appropriate instruments. Therefore, this study aims to accurately determine the Mahligai and Papan Tinggi tomb complexes’ qibla direction in Barus, Central Tapanuli, using the theodolite. This is descriptive and qualitative research with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The result showed that the qibla direction in the Mahligai tomb complex is deviated by 1°, 11.8o, and 29o to the north, west-south, and south, respectively. Meanwhile, the qibla direction at the Papan Tinggi tomb complex is deviated 13° to the north and is different from the Mahligai tomb complex. Keywords: qibla direction, Mahligai tomb, Papan Tinggi tomb

Abstract

Abstract: Rimba sinkretis is a set of teachings and beliefs in the Jambi indigenous community, which shows a mixture of elements or understandings with other religions (Islam), which is revealed to be a belief. The ethnographic approach is known to be suitable for elemental and cultural studies. This study reveals three crucial topics: First, there isa meeting point of local religion with Islam which is believed to have been mixed since the syncretic decades through the common teachings and beliefs of one god (monotheism). Second, the meeting point of beliefs that have spiritual similarities to Islam, both in religious expressions and prayers to God, includes Lâ Ilâha Illallâh, Muhammad Rasûlullah, Bismillâh, Salamikum, Allâh Akbar, and Yâ Allâh, so that it does not conflict with their teachings as Muslims. Third, the beliefs of the Orang Rimba community in an almighty God named Allah Ta‘ala, the two prophets named Adam and Muhammad, malakat orang meru as the unseen (spirits), bilik (heaven) and nereko (hell) as places of torment for doso (sin) and pahalo (goodness), baheulo (gods) as jinn and demons, balik ke henteu as the afterlife, Halam Robah as the day of judgment and the orang bek kebudi as good and pious people (ulama). Keywords: Rimba Sinkretis, intersection of Islamic spirituality, local religion, indigenous people

Abstract

Abstract: This study is aimed to unravel the da‘wah communication delivered by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) regarding the legal status of Astrazeneca Covid-19 Vaccine (AZD1222) in digital media. This study used qualitative descriptive research design with a virtual ethnographic approach. The AZD1222 Vaccine press conference broadcast online via Youtube channel was the research subject. The research object referred to the effectiveness of MUI da‘wah communication in terms of its communication elements. Data was collected through observations in virtual communities and documentation. The results encompassed five components of digital da'wah in the press conferences, namely da‘i (communicator), mad‘u (communicant), maddah (massage), wasilah (channel) and athar (feedback). The digital media offer people an opportunity to build opinions. Most of them gave negative sentiments because of their misunderstanding of fiqh reasoning. However, mad‘u pragmatism and low fiqh literacy were the main factors for lesser public acceptance of the vaccine. This study recommends further research to examine the vaccine fatwa construction model and fiqh literacy for public. Keywords: da‘wah communication, vaccines, halal, Muslim

Abstract

Abstract: Smartphone technology has evolved into a new da‘wah platform in the contemporary era. The emergence of Islamic applications and social media seems to have created a new form of religious involvement in the public sphere in Indonesia recently. This article examines the ‘Aa Gym’ apps and @aagym as a da’wa media platform launched by a popular preacher, KH. Abdullah Gymnastiar. This study describes how the two platforms serve as media for Islamic da’wah with the jargon of iconic religious figures. Using the case study method, we interviewed 20 users of both platforms and Aa Gym as key informants. The results found that: (1) ‘Aa Gym’ apps had created a new form of religious involvement in the digital media landscape before Aa Gym experienced the destruction of itslife, while @aagym was more in demand by the public after practising polygamy as an effort to revive religious authority which had downfall. (2) these two platforms, as primary needs, consume religion without space and time limits. (3) these two platforms depend on the electability of religious figures in the public sphere. Keywords: Islamic applications, religious authorities, religious leaders, digitalization of da’wah, contemporary

Abstract

Abstract: The specific objective of this this article is to explore Muhammad Hasbi As-Shiddieqy's conceptualization of the term wasathiyah, which is analitically studied from his work “Tafsir An-Nuur.” His conceptualisation is of interest because previously published studies on moderate Islam are not consistent, while Hasbi’s contribution offers some important insights intoresolving this discrepency. In additions, Hasbi’s signification of the termof wasathiyah is found elsewhere in in many of his fiqh books, which is used as secondary sources. By using descriptive interpretive analysis, it is found that wasathiyah, in Hasbi's view, is an attitude of life that can bring humans true happiness by referring to the Quran. Then, happiness itself is understood as the ability to solve various problems based on the concept of ijtihad. He emphasized that the essence of wasathiyah is an attitude of life that can make Islamic society advanced and civilized by promoting moral values, such as justice, tolerance, openness, and respect for diversity.Therefore, I argue that Hasbi’s conceptualisation of the term might bring harmony between the group who are for traditionalism and against modernism, and the other who advocate liberalism and modernism.Keywords: moderate Islam, wasathiyah, Muhammad Hasbi Ash-Shiddieqy, Tafsir An-Nuur
