Abstract

KGPAA Mangkunegara IX funeral ceremony has attracted much attention because he was the former ruler of Kadipaten Mangkunegaran Surakarta, Central Java and he died in the middle of activity restriction due to the pandemic Covid-19 in Indonesia. Pura Mangkunegaran has its funeral ceremony but it hasn’t been written in many textbooks. The religious and cultural aspect was included in that ceremony because Mangkunegara IX was a Moslem and also a Pura Mangkunegaran ruler. This article aims to describe the religio-cultural context of the funeral ceremony of KGPAA Mangkunegara IX. Using a qualitative method the study was provided with interviews and an audio-visual documentary to collect the data. The study found that during the funeral ceremony, there were many religious and cultural rites included, such as bathing, praying, and burying the late, wearing a Mataram royal palace as the funeral cloth, brobosan, the Javanese funeral song chanting, and tahlil. Some of them were done simultaneously while the other was not. This finding shows that the relationship between religion and culture is still being maintained in Javanese families with some adaptation due to the pandemic.

Abstract

This study endeavors to present a comprehensive overview of how the implementation of Good Governance impacts the collection of zakat, infaq, and alms for local communities. Qualitative descriptive research methodology was employed, drawing insights from various regulatory frameworks and empirical evidence. The findings reveal several key points: Firstly, the presence of accommodating regulations serves as a legal framework for local institutions, coupled with tangible financial incentives that motivate effective collection of ZIS (zakat, infaq, sadaqah). Secondly, the upsurge in zakat, infaq, and alms collection is not solely reliant on spiritual enlightenment but is significantly influenced by regulatory frameworks that stimulate the optimization of local institutions. Lastly, to ensure the efficacy of the collection process, the government undertakes collaborative evaluations involving stakeholders such as the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), academicians, Mahad Jamiah, and the Zakat Empowerment Team. These findings underscore the importance of formulating progressive policies geared towards enhancing the collection of zakat, infaq, and alms, providing valuable insights for policymakers

Abstract

This article explores the concept of Nahdatul Ulama in promoting global harmony through the R 20 activities. The research employs a qualitative method with data sourced from library research. The article concludes that R 20 has taken concrete steps, facilitated by Nahdatul Ulama, to foster global harmony. These efforts culminated in a collective agreement termed the Communique focusing on four key aspects elucidating religion as a conflict resolution: firstly, tolerance (Tasamuh), in the dynamics of social diversity, emphasizing the development of tolerant attitudes among religious communities as an expression of the ability to bear the burden of differing perspectives. Secondly, ecotheology, a theological concept exploring the interconnectedness of religion and nature, encourages integrating spiritual dimensions with environmental responsibilities. Thirdly, Interfaith Dialogue underscores the necessity for in-depth dialogues to achieve peace among nations and religions. With openness, communication, and compassion, conflicts are viewed as opportunities to enhance understanding, fostering harmonious relationships among religious practitioners. Lastly, the article highlights the active roles of government and religious leaders in addressing extremism and intolerance, contributing to the realization of harmony. The concept used by NU as a basis for compiling the 'Communique' is special because it specifies universal religious values and strengthens the national program, namely Religious Moderation. This is based on NU's commitment as a religious organization that maintains traditionalist theological values as well as being a guardian of national policy.

Gender equality is a global issue that can contribute to improving the country's economy. The role of women in improving family welfare is very important for economic development. Islam has provided space for women to have the right to work. This study analyzes the contribution of female farm workers to family welfare in East Luwu Regency. The contribution is in the form of increasing family income and family financial management strategies. In addition, this study analyzes the perspective of Islamic law on working wives. The method used in this study is a mixed method. Quantitative methods to measure the contribution of female farm workers to family income and qualitative methods to analyze family financial management strategies, as well as the perspective of Islamic law on working wives. The results of the study show that female farm workers greatly contribute to increasing family income. In addition, women farm workers have a good financial management strategy by implementing long-term investments in the form of cattle and children's education. The perspective of Islamic law towards working wives is based on family conditions and situations. Islam does not prohibit wives from working as long as they do not violate Islamic law

Abstract

The word “hijrah” has been familiar among Indonesian middle class recently. It basically refers to the re-adaption religious values in daily life especially for individual Muslims.  This attitude basically responds various issues such as life crisis, mental health issues, anxiety, and also increasing religious teaching demands. Therefore, committed with religion values would be the main answer for every problem.  Recently, “hijrah” is not merely a personal matter, but it has been a collective norm that bound Muslims especially young people. As a collective norm, the “hijrah” intention has responded wide issues. Most importantly, it seems that doing “hijrah” has become an identity symbol rather spiritual motive.  Eventually, it might be a critical point to examine “hijrah” phenomenon among Muslim middle class.  Following up these aforementioned gaps, this research would like to further investigate the recent shift of “hijrah” movement that affected Muslim middle class. Drawing data on the critical literature review, this research shows that committed to “hijrah” is a way to not only strengthen piousness but also how to bring Islam fits in with modernism. This has implication toward the way of religious expression in public space.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the value of local wisdom "malaqbi" in shaping the characteristics and uncovering the factors underlying the existence of the Mandar ethnic group. The study employs a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach (phenomenology, sociocultural, and critical literacy). The research locations are in Napo Village, Limboro District, Polewali Mandar Regency, and Adolang Village, Pamboang District, Majene Regency. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, FGD (Focus Group Discussion), and documentary studies.The findings indicate the value of local wisdom "malaqbi" in shaping the character of the Mandar Ethnicity, namely: (1) The malaqbi value is used as the basic concept of self-awareness in interpreting the philosophy of Mandar Ethnic life; (2) The malaqbi value is used as the foundation of discourse;    (3) The local wisdom value of malaqbi is used as the foundation of attitude; and (4) The malaqbi value is used as the foundation of social behavior. The factors underlying the existence of the local wisdom value of malaqbi in the Mandar Ethnicity are: (1) Awareness of mutual respect and respect for fellow human beings; (2) Awareness of clarifying identity as Mandar people; (3) Awareness of historical events; and (4) Awareness of "siri'" as the consequence of behavior that is not in accordance with malaqbi.The implication of this research is that the value of malaqbi, which is very wise and full of teachings about life, especially social life, should always be applied by the Mandar Ethnic community in all fields. The malaqbi value has existed before Islamic teachings spread to the Mandar region. Understanding of the malaqbi value even applies to several designations for the Mandar Ethnic community, such as "to I Mandar" (original Mandar people), "to Mandar" (people who come and reside in Mandar), and "pammandar" (people who come to Mandar for specific purposes but do not reside there or only temporarily).
