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

Abstract

Abstract: This research studied the recent implementation of sharia in the district of East Aceh by employing a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods. This research focused on sociological interpretations of the data gathered through the processes of observation of social interactions that reflected demographic patterns of daily intercourse, events, and traditions. The results showed that the implementation of sharia laws triggered pros and cons within society in East Aceh. Some people argued that the government did not put maximum effort into the implementation. Many other people, however, experienced positive changes in their life due to the implementation of sharia. There are still many challenges such as weakness of faith and social activities that are now forbidden there plus different understandings of sharia law still exist. Co-operation between the governments, scholars, and the people, in particular opinion leaders will be the key to continue successful implementation.Keywords: East Aceh, The Holy Qur’an and al-Hadîts, People’s Perspectives, Islamic laws Abstrak: Penelitian ini mengkaji implementasi pelaksanaan syariat Islam di Kabupaten Aceh Timur menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode etnografi. Penelitian ini berfokus pada interpretasi sosiologis dari data yang dikumpulkan melalui proses pengamatan interaksi sosial yang mencerminkan pola demografis hubungan sehari-hari, peristiwa, dan tradisi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan hukum syariah memicu pro dan kontra di kalangan masyarakat di Aceh Timur. Sebagian kalangan menilai pemerintah kurang maksimal dalam pelaksanaannya. Namun, banyak orang lain mengalami perubahan positif dalam hidup mereka karena penerapan syariah. Masih banyak tantangan seperti lemahnya iman dan aktivitas sosial yang sekarang dilarang di sana ditambah pemahaman yang berbeda tentang hukum syariah masih ada. Kerja sama antara pemerintah, cendekiawan, dan masyarakat, khususnya para pemangku kebijakan akan menjadi kunci untuk melanjutkan keberhasilan implementasi hukum syariah. Kata Kunci: Aceh Timur, Al-Qur’an dan Hadist, Pandangan Masyarakat, Syariat Islam

Abstract

Abstract: This study describes learning and teaching objectives according to K.H. Hasyim Asy'ari in the Âdâb al-'Âlim wa al-Muta'allim book. It was observed from the literature review, the descriptive method, content analysis, and reflective analysis employed that the learning and teaching objectives of K.H. Hasyim Asy'ari are theo-and humanistic-centric oriented. The learning objectives of K.H. Hasyim Asy'ari from one side need to be maintained, recommended, and adopted in Islamic education development because it is still very relevant to the context of contemporary Islamic education. But from the other side, the learning objectives of the ulama (scholar) need to be improved so that it does not ignore happiness in this world and the afterlife (ukhrawi). In addition to learning objectives, teaching objectives of K.H. Hasyim Asy'ari from one side need to be maintained, recommended, and adopted in the context of formulating and making policies on education and teaching objectives in Islamic education institutions because it is still very relevant to the context of contemporary in Indonesia. On the other hand, it also need to be improved so that the teaching objectives can be directed towards the interests of happiness in this world and the afterlife (ukhrawi).Keywords: Teaching and Learning Objectives, K.H.

Abstract

Abstract:  Tafsir Al-Quranul Karim by Ulama Tiga Serangkai from Binjai North Sumatra has not enticed the attention of scholars of interpretation works because this indigenous text, written in 1937, has been in scarcity from circulation since halting printing. Existing research on Tafsir Al-Quranul Karim by Abdul Halim Hasan, Zainal Arifin Abbas and Abdurrahim Haitami contains misleading information concerning the date of birth of the mufassir. Likewise, the analysis of this commentary book regarding the number of verses interpreted, the sources of reference, and the method of interpretation still needs to be clarified. This study endeavours to continue the existing research by clarifying data about the originality of mufassir and completing the analysis of their commentaries by conducting interviews with the mufassir's relatives, documentation, observations at the mufassir's residences and grave sites, as well as literature study of the manuscripts of this commentary works. The study found that the mufassir in their interpretation using twenty-two books of interpretation, three mu'jams and several Islamic references written by both Muslims and orientalists and even the Bible. While the method of interpretation uses manhaj tahlili, the interpretation style is social (al-adab al-ijtimâ‘i).Keywords: Tafsir Al-Quranul Karim, Abdul Halim Hasan, Ulama Tiga Serangkai, Qur’anic exegeses, Indonesia archipelago.

Abstract

Abstract: The conduct of children is becoming more negative, and it is difficult for parents to identify the best educational model. The Aceh community possesses a peurateb aneuk text passed down through centuries. The text is assumed to contain character values that benefit the children. Therefore, this study examined the peurateb aneuk text as a comprehensive model of early childhood religious character building. It explains the character education model in the text and shows the conditions of the context. Furthermore, it interpreted language to obtain a model of the formation of early childhood religious character from the text. The result reported the character education model of godliness and aqidah from the peurateb aneuk text. These variables were instilled with the internalization model of tawhid sentences that parents interpret when putting children to sleep by chanting the peurateb aneuk poem. The chant became an intermediate medium for instilling character values in early childhood. Meanwhile, La ilaaha illallah is a tawhid phrase for Muslims with a high religious level used as a model in the cultivation of godliness and aqidah character in children from an early age. The peurateb aneuk activity becomes a madrasah for children to learn tawhid and aqidah.Keywords: Character Values, Peurateb Aneuk Text, Religious Education, Early Childhood

This research is qualitative and use a character research approach to analyze the thoughts and influences of a character. Data collected from library materials such as books, newspapers, articles and in-depth interviews by using open questions. The problem formulation of this research is the leadership ideals taught by Sheikh Salman Da'im in the Naqsyabandiyah al-Kholidiyah Jalaliyah Congregation, Sheikh Salman Da'im's leadership, as well as Sheikh Salman Da'im's views and actions. Based on the result of this research, Sheikh Salman Da'im is able to merge the functions of Sufism and modernity through the education he produces and the values he teaches which consist of welas asih, dono weweh, andhap asor, wicaksana, as well as his concept for social construction, and preserving religious, social, political harmony and economic development. Keywords: Sufism, Islamic values, Leadership, Sheikh Salman Da`im, Tarekat Naqsyabandiyah al-Kholidiyah Jalaliyah
