Abstract

Technology has become an inseparable part of human life, exerting a significant influence on patterns of living and social behavior. Social media often gives rise to various ethical and moral concerns, including a decline in self-awareness, weakened self-control, and erosion of moral values. Sufism and technology can be integrated to maintain a balance between digital advancement and the spiritual depth of human beings. This article examines the implementation of Sufi teachings in the digital era, focusing on three key aspects: the development of virtual awareness, ethical conduct in digital engagement, and the cultivation of self-control. The study employs a literature-based approach, utilizing descriptive-analytical analysis and drawing on primary and secondary sources, including classical Sufi texts, contemporary literature on digital ethics, and scholarly articles. Its epistemological position is prescriptive, as it not only describes ethical phenomena in the digital sphere but also formulates normative principles based on Sufi teachings to reinforce digital ethics.The findings indicate that Sufism offers a value-based foundation for addressing digital challenges. Virtual awareness can be cultivated through the practices of dhikr, muhasabah, and muraqabah, which position technology as a medium for drawing closer to God. Digital ethics from a Sufi perspective emphasizes the importance of politeness, honesty, and a focus on the public good in every online interaction. Meanwhile, self-control can be exercised through disciplined use of technology, avoidance of negative content, and restraint from excessive digital desires. The implementation of Sufism in the digital era can serve as an effective strategy for maintaining equilibrium between technological utilization and spiritual needs, while simultaneously contributing to the development of a morally refined society.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has altered people's media consumption patterns, making traditional radio often seem less relevant. However, the sustainability of the amateur radio community demonstrates that conventional media can adapt and still play an important role. This study examines how Radio Antar Penduduk Indonesia (RAPI) Jepara maintains its relevance through a hybrid communication model that combines amateur radio with digital platforms, including WhatsApp, Telegram, and live streaming. The research focus is on how RAPI adapts to media convergence while maintaining its community-based identity. This research uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then thematically analyzed using the Braun & Clarke framework to uncover patterns of meaning that reflect sociocultural dynamics within the community. The analysis was enriched by Everett Rogers' theory of innovation diffusion, which explains the process of technology adoption among RAPI members. The study's results show that amateur radio remains the primary communication medium, especially in emergencies, while digital media serve to enhance efficiency, coordination, and documentation. Innovation at RAPI Jepara takes place through hands-on experience, mentoring, and trust-based interactions. This study contributes to a broader understanding of media convergence and community resilience by affirming that technological adaptation does not necessarily eliminate the collective values or social identities of communities.

Abstract

This study examines a new model for addressing urban prostitution through a collaborative framework that integrates cultural da'wah and public policy, using the closure of Dolly District as a case study. Employing a descriptive qualitative method based on literature analysis and policy documents, the research traces patterns of interaction between culturally grounded religious approaches and governmental interventions. The findings suggest that cultural da'wah plays a significant role in shaping the community's moral awareness, while public policy facilitates the necessary structural changes. Their collaboration generates a more effective mechanism of social transformation compared with administrative closure alone. The study concludes that the synergy between cultural da'wah and public policy offers a new paradigm for tackling prostitution: one that goes beyond shutting down localisation sites by fostering a humane and sustainable social transition. This model has the potential to be replicated in similar urban contexts.

Abstract

The determination of lineage (nasab) constitutes a fundamental aspect of Islamic family law, directly influencing a child’s rights and social status, including inheritance, maintenance, and guardianship. In the modern era, advances in science particularly in biotechnology have introduced new methods of verification through DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) testing, especially in Indonesia. This development has sparked debates within Islamic legal discourse regarding whether such scientific methods can serve as a legitimate basis for establishing lineage. This study examines the perspective of Yusuf al-Qaradawi, one of the leading contemporary scholars, concerning the legality and position of DNA testing in lineage determination. The objective of this research is to conduct an in-depth analysis of Yusuf al-Qaradawi’s views on the use of DNA testing for lineage determination, as well as to trace the methodological and jurisprudential arguments underlying his reasoning. A qualitative approach with a library research method was employed. Data were collected from Yusuf al-Qaradawi’s writings, contemporary works on tafsir and fiqh, and references on modern Islamic family law. The findings indicate that Yusuf al-Qaradawi does not reject the use of DNA testing; however, he regards it as a supporting form of evidence (qarinah), rather than the primary proof in establishing lineage. According to him, lineage in Islam is primarily determined through a valid marriage, not merely by biological compatibility. Nevertheless, in specific circumstances such as disputes over lineage or cases of switched infants DNA testing may be used as a reference, provided that it does not contradict the principles of Sharia and the pursuit of public welfare (maslahah).

Abstract

This study analyzes the unexpected electoral defeat of a three-term incumbent in the 2024 Provincial Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah (DPRD) race in Central Java’s Electoral District 4, an area historically characterized by strong Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) socioreligious dominance and long-term Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa (PKB) electoral stability. While existing research on Indonesian local politics underscores incumbency advantage rooted in ritual embeddedness, symbolic authority, and organizational loyalty, such explanations are insufficient to capture the challenger’s unprecedented rise. This article addresses that gap by examining the relational, communicative, and symbolic mechanisms that reshaped voter preferences. Using a qualitative case-study design, the research draws on eighteen semi-structured interviews, participant observation in religious and community events, digital-content analysis, and official data from the General Elections Commission (Komisi Pemilihan Umum, KPU). The findings reveal that the incumbent experienced a substantive decline in symbolic authority due to reduced ritual visibility and diminishing emotional proximity, corresponding with an 8–12% decrease in vote share across key polling-station clusters. Conversely, the challenger constructed legitimacy through embodied service practices, adaptive political communication tailored to diverse audiences, and hybrid digital–offline visibility that amplified everyday interactions into credible public narratives. The study concludes that voter behavior in NU-based rural constituencies is undergoing a cultural reorientation in which sincerity, accessibility, and continuous moral presence now outweigh structural party advantages. These insights expand theoretical discussions on personalization, symbolic legitimacy, and relational politics in Indonesia’s decentralized electoral landscape, providing a more nuanced understanding of how challengers can penetrate entrenched socioreligious strongholds.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of PKB Central Java’s open recruitment mechanism for legislative candidates in the 2024 election and analyzes whether the reform contributed to substantive internal democratization. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with party officials, aspirants, and local brokers across Pati, Rembang, and Kudus, complemented by document analysis of recruitment guidelines, interview evaluations, and administrative procedures. The findings show that the reform generated a form of hybrid openness: while the process expanded access, standardized interviews, and increased procedural transparency, final decisions remained strongly shaped by longstanding NU-based religious authority, particularly kyai endorsements and pesantren networks. Meritocratic tools such as interview scoring and documentation review enhanced procedural clarity but carried limited weight in determining rankings, reflecting selective meritocracy rather than full institutional transformation. The study also reveals significant district-level variation, with Kudus exhibiting greater alignment between assessment outcomes and final placement compared to the more hierarchical environments of Pati and Rembang. These patterns position PKB’s reform between symbolic and substantive democratization, producing visible improvements without altering deeper authority structures. The study contributes to the literature on internal party democracy by demonstrating how socioreligious legitimacy, territorial power structures, and institutional layering shape the outcomes of organizational reform in Islamic-oriented political parties in Indonesia.

Abstract

Leadership plays a crucial role in determining the direction and success of local government in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the relevance and implications of the concepts of transformative leadership and servant leadership from an Islamic perspective on local governance. Both leadership models emphasize moral values, empathy, and empowerment, which align with Islamic leadership principles such as justice (al-'adl), trustworthiness, and community service. In the context of local government, the application of these values ​​is expected to strengthen bureaucratic integrity, increase public trust, and create policy innovations oriented toward the interests of the people. This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, with secondary data obtained from scientific literature, religious documents, and public policy sources. The results indicate that the application of transformative leadership and servant leadership principles based on Islamic values ​​has a positive influence on the effectiveness of local government in Indonesia. Leaders who integrate a transformative vision with a spirit of service have been shown to improve bureaucratic performance, strengthen public trust, and encourage innovation in public services and sustainable development. Islamic values ​​such as justice, trustworthiness, and moral responsibility serve as the foundation that strengthens transparency, accountability, and a service-oriented approach to the community.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the Disaster Resilient Village policy based on local wisdom in West Bandung Regency, particularly in addressing the threat of earthquakes and landslides caused by the Lembang Fault, which stretches across densely populated areas. Using descriptive-qualitative research methods, this study analyzes the Disaster Resilient Village  program implementation process, the challenges faced, and the potential for integrating local Sundanese wisdom into disaster mitigation efforts. Data were collected through field observations, interviews with informants, and a review of Disaster Resilient Village  program documents in villages affected by the Lembang Fault. The results indicate that Disaster Resilient Village  implementation has had a positive impact through increased community capacity, disaster simulations, the development of evacuation routes, and the formation of disaster preparedness groups. However, the policy's effectiveness is hampered by several key factors, including suboptimal communication between institutions, outreach that has not specifically targeted areas vulnerable to the Lembang Fault, and a high dependence on Village Funds or external assistance, which hampers the program's sustainability. Furthermore, the study identified that the local wisdom of the Sundanese people—such as knowledge of natural signs, traditional earthquake-responsive construction practices, experience-based land use planning, and the transmission of values ​​through oral tradition—has not been fully integrated into formal disaster mitigation policies. This study concludes that the effectiveness of Disaster Resilient Village  in West Bandung Regency will increase through strengthening the organizational structure, formalizing local wisdom in village disaster planning documents, and increasing human resource capacity through training and academic support.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between Islam and power dynamics in Indonesian international politics, highlighting how Islamic values ​​interact with national interests and global geopolitical structures. This study begins with a critique of the view that positions religion, particularly Islam, solely as a source of conflict in international relations. Instead, this study views Islam as a normative and strategic element that plays a role in shaping the orientation and practice of Indonesian foreign policy. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods. Data were obtained through a literature review of academic books, reputable journal articles, and an analysis of foreign policy documents, official speeches, and diplomatic statements by the Indonesian government. Data analysis was conducted using a content analysis approach to identify patterns of relations between Islamic identity, national interests, and Indonesia's geopolitical strategy. The results show that Islam functions as a source of moral legitimacy and an instrument of soft power in Indonesian foreign policy. This is reflected in the promotion of a moderate Islamic identity (wasathiyah), humanitarian diplomacy, conflict mediation in Muslim countries, and Indonesia's active role in multilateral forums such as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). However, Islam's role is contextual and not deterministic. Indonesia continues to prioritize national interests, state sovereignty, and geopolitical rationality, in line with the principles of an independent and active foreign policy. This study concludes that Indonesian foreign policy represents a pragmatic integration of Islamic values, national interests, and global power dynamics. Islam is not positioned as an expansive ideology, but rather as a non-material diplomatic asset that strengthens Indonesia's bargaining position at the regional and international levels.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the state of the art of Islamic modernity research using a VOSviewer bibliometric study. The research draws on the 5-year (2020-2025) SCOPUS database, utilizing the keyword "Islamic Modernity." The results were analyzed descriptively and put into a visualization. In each criterion, when possible, regional interpretations are presented to support further analysis. Afterwards, a cross-sectional critical discourse analysis is conducted heuristically. The findings indicate that the number of publications on "Islamic modernity" increases significantly from 2023 to 2024, and this trend continues into 2025. It also suggests that Islamic modernity discourse falls into two poles of intellectual motives: one, more epistemological in the form of theory construction, and the other, more political, as it pays more attention to political issues by scrutinizing the internal dynamics of Islamic society through a political interpretation. Thus, future research could contribute to critiquing the Eurocentric paradigm and foster epistemic justice in the global theory of knowledge.
