Abstract

Abstract: The majority of Muslims in Indonesia adhere to the Sunni school, but a small number of Muslims in this country adhere to the Shia Imamiyah school, which has been actively involved in developing the Islamic intellectual tradition of Persia (Iran), currently the center of intellectual and spiritual Shiism in the world. This study examines the transmission of the Persian Islamic intellectual tradition to the archipelago in the contemporary era. The study is a literature review, employing the social history approach. It argues that translation activities carried out by individuals or groups of Shia Muslims in Indonesia, as well as scientific research conducted by some students and lecturers at Islamic universities in Indonesia, has become the most important factors in the process of transmitting philosophy from Persia to Indonesia. This study enriches the understanding of the history of Islamic philosophy in Indonesia. This study argues that Persian philosophy has influenced the development of Islamic philosophy in Indonesia. Keywords: Islamic philosophy, Persian, Archipelago, Islamic intellectual tradition

Abstract

Abstract: This research spotlights YouTube’s utilization as a platform for intriguing Muslims and proselytizing Salafi and Nahdhatul 'Ulama's (NU) doctrines in the context of ideological contestation in Indonesia. This aim was motivated by the struggle for religious authority between NU and Salafis that has occurred in Indonesia since the beginning of the emergence of Salafis in the 1970s. The doctrine of Puritanism brought by Salafis is the key to the ideological battle with NU, which has the opposite doctrine. Thus, the contestation spread to the fight for the masses. One medium used as an object for spreading doctrine is YouTube. This use of YouTube is encouraged by their awareness that YouTube is an effective platform for proselytizing and arguing with each other. Therefore, this research explores the ideological contestation of the two groups from the aspect of the doctrine they spread and the ways they attract the masses by analyzing lecture videos from YouTube channels affiliated with each group. Based on the content and video quantity, this research argues that the massive method of being charged with Salafis is slowly becoming a strong challenge for the existence of NU. The method used is a theory by Heidi A. Campbell regarding online authority.Keywords: Ideological Contestation, Nahdhatul ‘Ulama, Religious Authority, Salafi, YouTube.

Abstract

Abstract: This article aims to explain the Tabot tradition and its cultural construction with the Bengkulu people as a minority group. The Tabot tradition experienced a kind of acculturation process in which two or more cultures met and made contact. Using Berry’s acculturation theory with a qualitative approach and ethnographic methods, this study resulted in a finding that the Tabut tradition resulted from a process of cultural acculturation between different religious and cultural contacts. In its journey, the Tabot is no longer a non-formal tradition but has become a local Bengkulu community organisation with the formation of the Tabot Harmony Family (KKT). The strategy chosen by KKT is to maintain its cultural and community heritage is integration. In this context, integration means maintaining the original culture and cultural contact.Keywords: Tabot, religious-cultural traditions, local Islam, acculturation

Abstract

Abstract: The deviation is deviant behaviour that hurts the perpetrator, family, and society. The former deviant who wanted a better life after coming out of the abyss of darkness did not get a proper place. Unlike other rehabilitation institutions, the Pasuruan Metal Pesantren offers a pattern of psychological treatment for former deviants with religious education. This study uses a qualitative approach with interviews and observations as data mining in the field. By using physical therapy (such as Wudu’, prayer, writing the Qur’an, and morning exercises) and spiritually (such as reading and memorising the Qur’an, dhikr assemblies, prayers, religious lectures, and taklim assemblies), former Devian can recover and return to her family and society as before.Keywords: Devian, Psychology, Pesantren, Religious therapy.

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze Al-Mukhlis Mosque as an Indian-Muslims heritage at Tebing Tinggi City. Data were based on Religious Court documents and interviews of the mosque’s managers. Reliable history of the mosque could be established only since 1920s. Its historical milestones includes 1) the first waqf in 1920 by Kuti Kaka, 2) change of name to Al-Mukhlis Mosque in 1950, 3) main restoration in 1978, 4) legal waqf status by Religious Court in 1986, and 5) a total renovation in 2014. Al-Mukhlis Mosque current management is appointed by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. The mosque activities include worship, Islamic education, and general social activities. Finally, its Indian identity remains socially acknowledged because of the presence of the Indian-Muslim community as its organizer and funder. The mosque might become the starting point for the revival of Indian-Muslims’ roles of the city.Keywords: Indian-Muslim, Mosque, East Sumatra, North Sumatra, Islam

Abstract

Abstract: This research departs from the discovery of manuscripts of interpretations of Nusantara scholars that have not received attention from a number of circles when the process of re-reading the interpretation of the Koran is rampant to meet the demands of human life development. This research aims to identify the manuscripts of the Nusantara scholars' tafsir and introduce their contents in order to preserve the richness of tafsir treasures in the archipelago. This research applies a philology-based qualitative method in which manuscripts are the main source with related tafsir books as the research subject. This research is classified as library research. It was found that Ta'liqat Sheikh Sulaiman Arrasuli is a commentary on Tafsir Jalalin by Imam Al-Mahalli and Imam Al-Suyuthi complete as many as 30 juz, although not all verses and interpretations were commented by him. Sheikh Sulaiman Arrasuli's commentaries are mostly about language; grammatical language, the meaning of the verse and there are also comments on the law, explanation of the story, asbabun nuzul and others, and most of the commentaries written by Sheikh Sulaiman Arrasuli. Keywords: Ta’liqat, Sheikh Sulaiman Arrasuli, Tafsir Jalalain

Abstract

Abstract: This study analyses the social, intellectual, and political history of Dewan Syariah Kota Surakarta (DSKS, The Surakarta Sharia Council), the group that is a forum for many smaller Islamist groups in Solo. This group claimed to unite Muslims in Solo, Central Java. Formed in 2013, this group suddenly organized many mass rallies with negative campaigns and radical notions. This study investigates the factors that contributed to the emergence of the DSKS by integrating both theoretical and empirical approaches. The data for these investigations are gathered through a literature review and on-site research. The literature review is complemented by examining documents and media, especially online sources. One of the most significant is the materials published by DSKS, encompassing website articles, pamphlets, and content on social media platforms. Many factors contributed to the emergence. First, many Islamist figures in Solo such as Abu Bakar Baasyir, Muinudinillah Basri, Tengku Azhar, and Syihabuddin Abdul Muiz. Second, the role and support of Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI). Third, the existence of various Salafi movements. Last, Solo is a city that is closely linked to terrorist activities. This study makes an important contribution to the literature on social movements, particularly in the context of Islamic movements in Indonesia. It can serve as a basis for further studies on similar movements in other regions.Keywords: DSKS, Solo, Islamist Groups

Abstract

Abstract: This article reviews the perspectives of ulama in shaping the locality of tolerance in the public sphere of education in Langsa, Aceh by highlighting the fact that there is local tolerance as a critical argument against the hegemony of the universal meaning of tolerance. Using a qualitative methodology, this article explores the perspective of scholars regarding the limits of tolerance such as clothing, social interaction, religious and organizational activities, and the right to receive religious education among non-Muslim students and students. This study produced several findings, first, the way to treat diversity in the Langsa-Aceh public education space is distinctive because the ulama's perspective on tolerance presents local practice both in terms of dress styles, religious and organizational activism, and religious education. Second, the perspective of these scholars reconstructs the meaning of tolerance which was originally universal in a direction that is local and contextual.Keywords: Ulama, Locality, Tolerance, Education, Aceh
