Abstract

This study examines whether—and how—a pre-calculated, single, uniform Hijri calendar can be justified from Qur’an and Hadith and operationalized with established astronomical rules. It addresses persistent disunity arising from fragmented practices in a highly interconnected “global village.” A mixed-methods design integrates: (i) a normative–conceptual analysis via Khaled Abou El Fadl’s negotiative method (text–author–reader) to derive scriptural bounds (twelve lunar months without intercalation; calculability; 29/30-day months; hilal as civil mīqāt; semantic range of ra’ā); and (ii) a computational–astronomical evaluation of a two-condition global rule anchored in the International Lunar Date Line (ILDL): S1—global conjunction occurs before local sunset along the IDL (~180°E; ±20° lat), and S2—an imkān al-ru’yah threshold is met on a 60°W test line (±20°; prototype 0.52% illumination). Topocentric ephemerides with standard parallax/refractive corrections (UTC, ΔT) are used, with ~500-year robustness checks and comparisons to regional criteria (e.g., MABIMS). Scriptural analysis legitimizes the use of information/calculation for dating while respecting Sunnah. The two-condition scheme prevents pre-conjunction starts (S1) and ensures expected visibility on the same day (S2). Simulations over ~500 years converge to the lunar synodic mean (~29.53 days) and align with the concept of ḥukmī ru’yah and Istanbul 2016 recommendations. Implementation mapping shows regional variation is historically instrumental; an IDL-anchored global maṭla‘ is operationally coherent. The study unifies a scripturally anchored rationale with ILDL-based imkān into a testable, auditable global rule and a realistic pathway for majority/minority contexts. Adoption of the two-condition rule, supported by a cross-national astronomy–fiqh clearing house and multi-year calendars, can synchronize worship dates and public services. Education systems benefit through stable academic calendars, assessment schedules, and digital platform integration across jurisdictions.

Abstract

This paper explores the intersection of gender, religion, and militarism within Banser, the paramilitary wing of GP Ansor, affiliated with Nahdlatul Ulama—the world’s largest Muslim organization. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, it examines how masculinity and femininity are negotiated in this male-dominated but increasingly gender-diverse organization. Through a ritual analysis of training camps and ceremonies, the paper unpacks emotional expression, moral formation, and the performance of Islamic piety in ways that challenge both normative gender roles and essentialist conceptions of Islam. Building on Talal Asad’s notion of Islam as a discursive tradition, the study develops a “linguistic model” to conceptualize Islamic variation as analogous to dialects—local articulations of a shared religious grammar. This model allows for an analysis of Javanese Islam as one such dialect, shaped by mysticism, hierarchy, and local understandings of gender. The paper also traces how militarized masculinity, inherited from Indonesia’s nationalist and New Order legacies, intersects with traditional and Islamic ideals, producing hybrid forms of moral militarism. Finally, it examines how female participation—through structures like Denwatser (Detasment Wanita Banser) and Garfa (Garuda Fatayat)—both challenges and is contained by existing gender hierarchies. Banser thus emerges as a site where lived Islam is actively negotiated through embodied practice, emotional intensity, and the disciplining of gendered selves. This study contributes to the anthropology of Islam by offering a grounded, theoretically rich account of how Islam is lived and contested in contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract

This study responds to the tendency of tariqah studies in Indonesia that highlight elite figures and institutions, thereby neglecting how congregations maintain the continuity of Sufi practice in everyday life. By taking the case of Jamaah Wirid Khusus Nahdlatul Wathan (JWK-NW) in Lombok, this study examines how ritual authority, social relevance, and ethical productivity continue to operate when there is no doctrinal successor murshid, because TGKH Muhammad Zainuddin Abdul Madjid is positioned as the first and last murshid. The study uses a qualitative single-case design based on fieldwork (October to November 2023) through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation of Hiziban, wirid, and muzakarah, as well as document analysis (Hizib compilations, decrees, teaching materials, and related publications) with purposive and snowball sampling. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis with source and method triangulation. The findings show that the continuity of the tariqah is maintained through the expansion of functional authority: appointed coordinators and representatives mediate bay’ah, ritual discipline (including qada’), and ethical guidance, without claiming themselves as autonomous murshids. Core practices are carried out in daily and weekly cycles, including congregational Hiziban on Monday night, collective dhikr on Wednesday, and a weekly wazhifah on Friday, and are reinforced by regular muzakarah. Members report increased spiritual awareness, emotional control, and inner tranquility, while also expanding solidarity through infaq and collective work to build madrasah, TPQ, and social services. Historically, the JWK-NW network is reported to have reached around 200,000 members in 1994. This study enriches lived Sufism scholarship by showing a concrete differentiation between spiritual leadership and functional leadership, and it offers the implication that dhikr routines and communal service can become a low-cost infrastructure for character education, youth mentoring, and social cohesion when aligned with local ritual ecology.

Abstract

This article addresses a core concern of Living Islam: how lived rituals cultivate ethical selves and communal resilience. Focusing on the annual haul (memorial rite) for a Pesantren kyai, it asks why this practice endures and what it accomplishes for participants’ inner life and social ties. The study combines non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews with alumni and organizers, and document analysis conducted in Bogor between March and September 2024. The data were analyzed using ritual theory and Sufi psychology, conceptualized through the inner faculties of qalb (heart), nafs (self), and ruh (spirit), as well as the formative sequence of takhalli–tahalli–tajalli. This approach highlights four interrelated dynamics: sustained affective ties between alumni and the kyai; a “psychospiritual technology” embedded in the tahlil–pengajian–sedekah sequence that structures attention, reinforces shared meanings, and directs prosocial engagement; processes of identity renewal that strengthen alumni social capital; and moral–spiritual transformation reflected in long-term practices of prayer, charity, and teaching. Conceptually, the paper reframes the haul from commemorative rite to mechanism of ethical formation by linking patterned repetition and symbol to attentional calm, value infusion, and embodied generosity. Practically, it suggests mosque- and school-based modules that synchronize annual rituals with weekly micro-structures (mentoring, halaqah, small service projects) and proposes simple indicators regular congregational prayer, volunteer teaching hours, infaq frequency to track sustained impact. By bridging philosophical analysis with empirical description, the study clarifies how a ritual ecology translates memory into obligation, love into service, and community into a durable infrastructure for lived Islamic ethics.

Abstract

This article examines how Islamic ritual practices, particularly dhikr and duʿa (supplication), are mediated, represented, and transformed into digital content on platform-based media. Employing an interpretive qualitative approach and a lived religion perspective, this study analyzes publicly available digital media artifacts from the Instagram and TikTok accounts of Hanan Attaki and Halimah Alaydrus. The research corpus comprises 32 video posts, 32 post captions, and 640 audience comments, which were examined using qualitative content analysis and interpretive thematic analysis. The findings demonstrate that dhikr and duʿa are reconfigured into short-form audiovisual content through temporal compression, the foregrounding of visual expression, the use of affective textual cues, and the amplification of emotional resonance. Audience interactions, including comments containing duʿa, emojis, affective expressions, and devotional responses, were interpreted as patterns of distributed and asynchronous symbolic ritual participation. In addition, repeated visibility and audience recognition of ritual content contribute to the formation of platform-based religious authority. This article contributes to the study of the mediatization of religion, ritual studies, and lived Islam by positioning ritual practices as a primary analytical site within digital Islam. This study affirms that digital media do not merely serve as channels for the dissemination of religion but also shape how rituals are produced, encountered, and recognized in contemporary Muslim life.

Abstract

Living Islam scholarship has expanded across Islamic studies, anthropology, education, bioethics, socio-ecological ethics, and digital governance, yet its findings remain fragmented between normative renewal and thick descriptions of everyday practice. This systematic analysis synthesizes how Islam is mobilized as a transformative ethical-philosophical framework under contemporary pressures and develops an integrative multilevel model linking interpretation to public outcomes. Using a protocol-guided search across Scopus, Web of Science, and targeted hand-searching, 764 records were identified; 23 duplicates were removed; 741 titles and abstracts were screened; and 57 full texts were included for content analysis. Coding captured issue domains, philosophical foundations, evidence types, levels of analysis, and recurring mechanisms of change. The corpus clusters into six thematic streams: normative foundations and interpretive renewal; lived Islam, epistemology, and methodology; education and institutional mediation; socio-ecological ethics and sustainability; bioethics and health professions; and human rights, pluralism, governance, and digital/AI ethics. Four gaps emerge: conceptual inflation, discontinuities in the mechanisms linking micro-level practices to policy-level change, limited evaluative designs, and recurring authority contestation and politicization. The resulting model traces ethical transformation from normative reinterpretation to ethical internalization, collective enactment, institutional mediation, policy translation and public governance, and observable outcomes across micro, community, institutional, policy, and global-digital levels. The model offers testable propositions for multiple-case studies across sites, participatory action research, policy evaluation, and mixed-methods validation.

Abstract

This article analyzes Khaled Abou El Fadl’s hermeneutics as an ethical-philosophical framework for understanding religious authority, critiquing interpretive authoritarianism, and formulating an ethics of Islamic interpretation within the discourse of Living Islam. In this article, Living Islam is understood as an analytical framework that positions Islam as a living tradition shaped through the relationships among the text, authority, social practices, and Muslim experiences. This article addresses the limitations of previous studies, which have predominantly situated Abou El Fadl’s thought within the frameworks of Islamic law, fiqh reform, and critiques of authoritarian fatwas, but have not explicitly examined it as an ethics of Living Islam. This study employs a qualitative library-based research design using a critical-hermeneutic approach. The primary data sources include Abou El Fadl’s major works, while the secondary sources comprise literature on Islamic hermeneutics, Islamic legal authority, gender justice, qawwamun, qiwamah, lived religion, and lived Islam. Purposively selected sources were analyzed through document analysis, qualitative content analysis, and critical-hermeneutic interpretation. The findings demonstrate that interpretive authoritarianism emerges when interpreters foreclose the autonomy of the text and transform human interpretation into a final claim regarding God’s will. Abou El Fadl’s hermeneutics situates religious meaning within an ethical relationship among the author, the text, and the reader, while constraining interpretation through five moral prerequisites: honesty, diligence, comprehensiveness, reasonableness, and self-restraint. The interpretation of qawwamun underscores the importance of a contextual and justice-oriented approach to gender interpretation. The contribution of this article lies in its synthesis of a model of the ethics of Living Islam that connects the critique of authoritarianism, hermeneutic relationships, the moral prerequisites of interpreters, and the social consequences of interpretation for gender justice and contemporary Muslim realities.
