Abstract

This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the emergence of da'wah using new media (social media) in Indonesia and its role in producing a new popular Islamic culture among millennial preachers in Indonesia. Methodologically, this study used qualitative research with a netnographic approach. Two types of data sources, primary and secondary, were used, taken from the 2015-2023 period. This study found two findings after analyzing the field data. First, the phenomenon of da'wah conducted by Hanan Attaki and Felix Siauw in the new media space, especially through the Instagram platform, creates a new popular Islamic culture involving netizens in consuming religious information. Netizens tend to be exposed to the glittering flood of information that can shift their conventional religious understanding and faith.  Second, at certain levels, the contemporary da'wah model shown by Hanan Attaki and Felix Siauw can represent the presence and existence of a new popular Islamic culture in Indonesia. This is because the contemporary style shown by Hanan Attaki and Felix Siauw, in many of their da'wah activities, contains elements of mass culture and the new media industry in the form of visualization and commodification of religious dimensions, values, and meanings

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the phenomenon of polarization that is occurred among the Arab-Hadrami community in Surakarta during the period 1914-1950 and the influencing factors. The research examines the polarization of the Arab-Hadrami community in Surakarta using a sociological approach. The concepts utilized in this study are polarization, conflict, and social integration. The researchers employs the Social Polarization theory to observe sharp differences between social groups within the society, leading to their isolation and conflicts. The research follows a historical research method with four stages: source collection, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Two types of data sources are utilized: primary and secondary sources. The findings reveal that the polarization among the Arab-Hadrami community in Surakarta from 1914 to 1950 occurred due to three factors: the Fatwa Solo, the differences in perspectives on titles and traditions, and orientation toward the homeland. The forms of polarization within the Arab-Hadrami community in Surakarta between 1914-1950 emerged through social organizations, education, and newspapers. Other results related to the impact of polarization among the Arab-Hadrami community in Surakarta from 1914-1950 manifest in two aspects: the search for unity organizations among the Arab-Hadrami community in Surakarta and the integration of the Arab-Hadrami community in Surakarta into Indonesia

Abstract

The article focuses on the lectures of Salim A Fillah (SAF), a popular preacher known for his Islamist activism within the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) in Indonesia. The data is obtained through digital observation and literature review. The analysis employs the Roland Barthes semiology method to examine SAF's lectures on the history of Islamization in Nusantara, which are widely available on platforms like YouTube. The denotation stage of the analysis involves SAF dividing the history of Islam's arrival in the archipelago into seven waves, each characterized by distinct discourse. However, during the connotation stage, it is revealed that SAF's periodization of Islamic history is framed by a narrative of Islamism. This means that SAF portrays the history of Islam in the archipelago as the history of Islamism. The article suggests that SAF implicitly preaches that the saints who spread Islam in the archipelago were individuals with missionary missions similar to present-day Islamists in Indonesia. Additionally, the article highlights SAF's emphasis on transnational Islamic movements like HTI and the Muslim Brotherhood, which are associated with the PKS, as continuations of the missionary efforts of these saints. Therefore, it concludes that SAF has constructed an Islamist narration of Islamic history in Indonesia. SAF also blurred the lines between historical facts and ideological storytelling

Abstract

Halal food/drink is food or beverages that do not contain haram food or drink ingredients (especially pork and khamr) according to Islamic law. In Indonesia, consuming halal food is one of the essensial identities of a Muslim, which has recently been strengthened through public regulations. This strengthening of religious identity, especially among the Muslim minority, might create social distance characterized by Muslims’ limiting or avoiding contact with non-Muslims. While previous research found social distance exists in Muslim minorities towards non-Muslims, this research explains the lack of social distance among majority non-Muslims towards minority Muslims. Using mixed quantitative and qualitative methods, through survey, observations and interviews with 50 respondents in Manado, this research found that social distance towards the “strengthening” of halal identity among Muslims is hardly seen among Christian respondents. The fact that Muslims have restrictions on consuming non-halal food, while Minahasa Christians do not have such equal restrictions on consuming Muslim food, confirms the quantitative data. In contrast to Muslims, who have restrictions on consuming non-halal food, Minahasan Christians do not have restrictions on consuming Muslim (halal) food. This study strengthens the argument that the “halal” identity creates social distance in Manado society among Muslims towards others and not vice versa.

Abstract

This article discusses the phenomenon of decolonization of Islamic studies as a continuation of postcolonial critical projects that are widespread in various areas of study. In particular, this paper wants to answer two main questions: (1) the background and foundations of decolonization of Islamic studies and (2) its struggle in Indonesian Islamic discourse by focusing on the issue of Javanese-Islamic identity. By analyzing relevant data, this paper concludes that decolonization was motivated by scientists’ anxiety over the impact of colonialism in the academic-scientific area, which formed an oppressive cultural construction. Decolonization seeks to go beyond the postcolonial project, which, at a certain point, is still shadowed by the ideas of Western figures. The epistemological basis of decolonization is a critical approach in the study of religion in general, and it also involves political factors of knowledge in one of its dimensions. In Javanese-Islamic identity, decolonization emphasizes the close intertwining between Javaneseness and Islam, which tend to be separated in colonial studies.

Abstract

This research examines the complex relationship regarding environmental sustainability between Huria Kristen Batak Protestan (HKBP) and PT Toba Pulp Lestari (TPL). The history of deforestation and community displacement by TPL leads to the engagement of HKBP in social movements, resulting in environmental advocacy. Despite TPL’s promise to shift to sustainable practices, TPL resumes deforestation and triggers renewed resistance. Previous studies focus on the impacts of TPL, leaving a gap in understanding the role of HKBP. Through thematic analysis and data triangulation, this research uncovers the environmental irresponsibility of TPL, driven by HKBP’s internal and external gains and challenges in promoting sustainability. The insights obtained explain how religious institutions address ecological issues amidst governance dynamics and highlight the need for such understanding in conservation efforts.

Abstract

This research explores the negotiations carried out by Balinese Muslim women in Candikuning and Sinduwati in articulating their religious and cultural identities. The problems that arise in the study are related to stereotypes about being a Balinese Muslim, the origin of the land of birth, and the issue of secularism. Ajeg Bali, as a Balinese regional government regulation, presents a duality of interpretation of religious practices between Islam and Hinduism as social identities; for Balinese Islamic women, religious attributes such as the hijab are limited through the excessive practice of Ajeg Bali. Meanwhile, for those who adhere to Hinduism, religious practices are emphasized as an identity that is demonstrated and integrated into everyday life. Articulating identity through the legitimacy of local authorities strengthens Balinese identity. Yet, it is a challenge that Balinese Muslim women must manage, mainly to minimize cultural conflict. Marvasti’s ethnographic method is used with Fatima Mernissi’s perspective to elaborate on the identity of Islamic women. The research results show Balinese Islamic women’s negotiations are practiced through language and clothing in the Ajeg Bali practice. Then, the authors argue that cultural hybridity is demonstrated through Balinese dance arts and has combined with Islamic and Balinese aesthetics by strengthening the discourse of being Balinese Islamic Women. Hence, Islamic religious practices need to be formulated with the adoption of Balinese culture to enhance and maintain Balinese Islamic identity without neglecting the value of being Muslim.

Abstract

The view of feminism is always related to the position and existence of women in various sectors that demand equality with men’s position. Feminism seeks to break down the patriarchal culture which is deeply rooted in Indonesia. This view even existed long before Raden Ayu Dewi Nawangsih was born as the daughter of a Sunan. This study aims to analyse the values of feminism in the oral tradition of Raden Ayu Dewi Nawangsih, which developed in the Kudus community. The methodological approach used is descriptive qualitative, using literature and field studies. At the same time, the theoretical approach used is the Levis-Strauss structural analysis. The research data is in the form of myths that contain feminist values. The method used in this research is the proficient method, literature study, and documentation. At the same time, the data analysis method consists of four stages: data transcription, data reduction (using Levi-Strauss structural theory), data interpretation, and conclusions. Based on the results of the analysis, two types of feminist values were found in the character Raden Ayu Dewi Nawangsih: personal power and freedom to choose a partner. This significant finding can be used to interpret feminism values via ethno-mythology perspective combining with structuralism approach. This interdisciplinary study would be essential to see the feminism values from oral tradition which is commonly categorized as a literary product.
