Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how the Toba Batak Muslim community maintains its cultural identity in the face of complex dynamics while adapting to Islamic principles in the face of urbanization and economic change by examining the pattern of relationships between Islamic law and customary traditions. Three regions—traditional rural areas (Humbang Hasundutan, Tapanuli Utara, Samosir, Toba), multireligious communities (Asahan, Tanjung Balai, Labuhanbatu), and large cities (Medan, Bandung)—are the focus of this qualitative study using a case study methodology. The study's findings highlight three key trends in the interaction between Islam and customs: harmony, compromise, and adaptation. The adaptation trend is evident in individuals from the place of origin who endeavor to maintain practices with minimal impact from Islamic law. A negotiation pattern has developed among individuals in diverse religious contexts who want to reconcile local customs with Islamic principles. Simultaneously, a pattern of harmony is observed in metropolitan areas, where individuals successfully reconcile traditions with Islamic tenets within a contemporary framework. Economic conditions and social mobility significantly influence these trends. Individuals with superior economic advantages often prioritize religious ideals, whereas others with economic constraints rely more on customs as a social mechanism. Social mobility facilitates the adaptation of traditional values to be more flexible and inclusive of Islamic beliefs, particularly in metropolitan settings. This study suggests that economic factors and social mobility act as catalysts in transforming the link between customs and religion within the Toba Batak Muslim community. Research recommendations emphasize the significance of locally-based religious education, inclusive discussion between indigenous and religious leaders, and economic empowerment to foster harmony between traditional beliefs and Islam.

Abstract

The revitalization of customary law is an effort to integrate traditional values with modernity in sustainable environmental management. Customary law plays a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance and ensuring the sustainability of natural resources through principles rooted in local wisdom. However, exploitative economic development and growth-oriented policies often overlook its significance. This study analyzes the challenges, causes, and solutions in revitalizing customary law to create synergy between tradition and modernity. A qualitative approach is employed through in-depth interviews, field observations, and focus group discussions (FGDs) to assess its effectiveness in environmental conservation. The findings indicate that the revitalization of customary law can enhance the effectiveness of natural resource management, strengthen the rights of Indigenous communities, and mitigate conflicts between economic and environmental interests. Integrating customary law into national and international policies, raising public awareness, and fostering cross-sector collaboration are strategic steps to optimize its role in maintaining ecological and economic balance.

Abstract

A leader must have the ability to act legally so that every action he does is legal. This skill is required to be perfect, even exceeding the ability to act legally on a husband and wife in managing a household or someone in managing their property. On the basis of perfect legal skills, the leadership process will be able to run well, and various benefits can be realized in society at large. In this case, Islamic law as one of the legal systems that live in society is believed in giving a view of the legal skills of a leader. Some verses of the Qur'an and the Hadith of the Prophet SAW. give a signal about the criteria for a leader's legal competence. There are two important elements that must be possessed so that the ability to act in law is perfect; first, the age of a leader (caliphate), either a leader of a state (prisident), or a region (governor and regent/mayor) is at least 40 years old. While the position of assistant to the caliphate (minister and police) must be at least 21 years old; second, having perfect intelligence (rusyd). This intelligence is based on deep knowledge and broad insight into leadership. Based on this intelligence, a leader will carry out policies to his people in accordance with the benefit principles. Seorang pemimpin menjadi sentral bagi rakyatnya untuk mengantarkan mereka dalam mewujudkan kemaslahatan, kesejahteraan, dan kehagiaaan. Untuk hal itu, seorang pemimpin diharuskan memiliki kecakapan hukum yang baik, bahkan melebihi daripada seorang suami atau isteri dalam membina rumah tangga, atau seseorang dalam mengelola harta bendanya. Konsep kecakapan hukum pada seorang pemimpin telah disebutkan dalam berbagai ketentuan atau pemikiran para ahli. Dalam hal ini, hukum Islam memberikan konsep dan kriteria kemampuan kecakapan bagi seorang pemimpin. Tulisan ini mengkaji konsep hukum Islam tentang kecakapan seorang pemimpin yang mampu mewujudkan kemaslahatan bagi umat. Metode yang digunakan pada kajian ini yuridis normatif, yakni dengan mengkaji beberapa ayat Alquran dan Hadis Nabi SAW. yang memberi isyarah tentang kriteria kecakapan hukum seorang pemimpin. Hasil penelitian ditemukan ada dua unsur penting yang harus dimiliki seorang pemimpin supaya cakap bertindak hukum secara sempurna. Pertama, usia seorang khalifah, baik Presiden, atau Gubernur dan Bupati/Walikota, minimal 40 tahun. Sementara jabatan pembantu khalifah, seperti Menteri dan Polisi minimal berumur 21 tahun. Kedua memiliki kecerdasan yang sempurna (rusyd), yakni seorang pemimpin mempunyai kecerdasan intelektual, emosional, dan spiritual yang baik. Dari ketiga kecerdasan tersebut akan melahirkan sifat bijaksana, dan pada gilirannya terwujud kemaslahatan hidup masyarakat secara luas.

Abstract

In the Banjarese culture of South Kalimantan, there are a number of ancient wedding traditions that are still practiced today. One of these is the maantar jujuran, which is used to determine whether or not a marriage will be successful.

This study employed a descriptive quantitative methodology with phenomenological analysis of the Banjar community in South Kalimantan. Methods for compiling data from many sources of literature relevant to research. The results of this study show that traditional Banjarese marriages have been conducted in a manner similar to the heritage that constitutes the nenek moyang warisan. According to social constructionist theory, interactions between members of different communities regarding rural justice traditions have been going on for quite some time in this study. Many people still practice this tradition because they believe in its inherent goodness. Additionally, it is known that one of the goals of the Banjar people in carrying out this tradition is to elevate their social standing within the community. It is hoped that this study would contribute to the growth of knowledge, particularly in the field of family law; given that Indonesia has such a wide variety of cultural norms when it comes to conducting marriage ceremonies, this topic is particularly interesting from a sociological, cultural, political, and other vantage points. Dalam budaya Banjar Kalimantan Selatan, ada beberapa tradisi pernikahan kuno yang masih dilakukan hingga saat ini.

Abstract

The Wadas case refers to a dispute over land that has arisen between a local community and the government in Wadas Village, Bener District, Purworejo, Central Java, as a direct outcome of a large-scale construction project. Since 2018, when an environmental permit was given by the governor stating that Wadas was included in the location of the impact of the construction of the Bener dam, the conflict has been ongoing. The governor's permit said that Wadas will be impacted by the construction of the dam. The construction of dam infrastructure brought up the conflict because locals were afraid that it would harm natural ecosystems and sources of livelihood in the area. After the apparatus launched oppressive activities, the disagreement escalated and became a national issue. This prompted NU and Muhammadiyah, the two largest community organizations in Indonesia, to take a stance on the matter. This investigation's objective is to ascertain the Islamic worldview with regard to the preservation of natural habitats and land in the context of wadas. The research method that was employed was looking through books in libraries, and the major data that was used was LBH Yogyakarta's findings from their investigation. The findings of the study lead one to the conclusion that the dispute over property in Wadas is not in line with the Islamic perspective on the importance of preserving the environment. Kasus Wadas mengacu pada sengketa tanah yang timbul antara masyarakat setempat dengan pemerintah di Desa Wadas, Kabupaten Bener, Purworejo, Jawa Tengah, sebagai akibat langsung dari proyek konstruksi skala besar. Sejak 2018, saat izin lingkungan diberikan gubernur yang menyatakan bahwa Wadas masuk dalam lokasi dampak pembangunan bendungan Bener, konflik terus berlangsung. Di dalam izin yang dikeluarkan oleh Gubernur Jawa Tengah Ganjar Pranowo menyebutkan, Wadas akan terkena dampak pembangunan bendungan tersebut. Pembangunan infrastruktur bendungan memunculkan konflik karena warga khawatir akan merusak ekosistem alam dan sumber penghidupan di daerah tersebut. Setelah aparat melancarkan aktivitas penindasan, ketidaksepakatan meningkat dan menjadi isu nasional. Hal itu mendorong NU dan Muhammadiyah, dua ormas terbesar di Indonesia, mengambil sikap soal itu. Tujuan investigasi ini adalah untuk mengetahui pandangan Islam tentang pelestarian habitat alam dan lahan dalam konteks wadas. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah mencari melalui buku-buku di perpustakaan, dan data utama yang digunakan adalah temuan-temuan LBH Yogyakarta dari penyelidikan mereka. Temuan penelitian ini membawa pada kesimpulan bahwa sengketa harta benda di Wadas tidak sejalan dengan perspektif Islam tentang pentingnya menjaga kelestarian lingkungan.

Abstract

As long as the government is unable to properly manage natural resources, the maritime economic rights of Indonesia will continue to be poorly managed, resulting in a significant loss of the country's marine wealth to other countries. Protecting Indonesia's marine resources requires an applicable legal theory. Pancasila's legal theory can provide answers since the principles it upholds have always been at the heart of Indonesian society. This justice and civilization need the state to correctly use its rights and obligations and not take away the maritime resources of other countries; therefore, these principles should be adopted by the entire country. By assembling information on Indonesia's marine riches and legal theory resources such as the Pancasila legal theory, this study aims to establish norms in the field.Selama pemerintah tidak mampu mengelola sumber daya alam dengan baik, hak ekonomi maritim Indonesia akan terus tidak terkelola dengan baik, sehingga kekayaan laut negara hilang secara signifikan ke negara lain. Melindungi sumber daya laut Indonesia membutuhkan teori hukum yang aplikatif. Dalam hal ini, teori hukum Pancasila dapat memberikan jawaban karena prinsip-prinsip yang dijunjungnya selalu ada di dalam jiwa masyarakat Indonesia. Keadilan dan peradaban ini membutuhkan negara untuk menggunakan hak dan kewajibannya dengan benar dan tidak merampas sumber daya maritim negara lain. Oleh karena itu, prinsip-prinsip ini harus diadopsi oleh seluruh negara. Dengan menghimpun informasi kekayaan laut Indonesia dan sumber teori hukum seperti teori hukum Pancasila, kajian ini bertujuan untuk menetapkan norma-norma pada tataran praktis.
