Abstract

This research examines the dynamics, dogma, and dialogue of religious harmony through a comparative case study between Cigugur Village, Indonesia, as the center of Sunda Wiwitan belief, and El-Gamaliya, Cairo, Egypt, an old city area with Islamic and Christian communities. Using a qualitative approach based on a case study design, data was collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observation of religious leaders and local communities. The results show that in Cigugur, harmony developed from civil society initiatives through informal forums such as Bajigur, interfaith social practices, and the example of religious leaders without state intervention. In El-Gamaliya, harmony is supported by wasathiyah Islamic principles, daily social interactions and collective nationalism that create harmony between Muslims and Christians. Religious dogma in both regions is inclusive, accepting local traditions and diversity, with interfaith dialogue growing organically through shamanism rather than formal forums. This research confirms that religious harmony is effective through local values, grassroots dialogue and culture-based social integration, not just the state's normative approach. The findings are relevant to policies on religious moderation, multicultural education, and managing diversity in an increasingly complex global society.

Abstract

Following the collapse of the New Order, the Reformation era encouraged the development of transnational Islamic movements, including the puritanical Salafi-Wahhabi ideology in Lombok, which opposed the Nahdlatul Wathan Islamic tradition, triggering ideological, social, and political tensions. This study analyses the contestation between the two groups through Quintan Wiktorowicz's Islamic Activism approach, focusing on mobilisation strategies, movement framing, and socio-political implications. Two main questions guide the analysis: (1) What mobilisation and framing strategies do Salafi-Wahhabi and NW groups use to build ideological influence in Lombok? (2) What are the implications of this ideological competition for the socio-political dynamics of Muslims in Lombok? This qualitative study uses a literature review and online interviews with religious and community leaders. Findings indicate that Salafi-Wahhabi gained significant support from Saudi Arabian institutions such as Rabithah al-‘Alam al-Islami and the Islamic Development Bank, which contributed to education, the construction of mosques and Islamic boarding schools, and the dissemination of religious literature. This competition reinforces social polarisation and fragmentation, particularly through digital media and the hijrah movement. This conflict disrupts social cohesion and religious practices, necessitating a dialogic approach to ease tensions and maintain harmony in Lombok.

Abstract

This research aims to understand mystical synthetics in Selo through a case study of the Saparan tradition. This tradition reflects the cultural expression and gratitude of the Javanese people, who try to achieve harmony with supernatural powers. The variety of religions that Selo residents embrace does not conflict with Javanese beliefs but melts into the Saparan tradition. This research uses an anthropological approach and Ricklefs' mystical systemic ideational principle. The method used is field research with primary sources from informants in Selo hamlet and secondary data from various references. The results of this study show that the Saparan tradition is divided into two sessions: preparation and celebration. The celebration session is further categorized into three types: communal, individual, and entertainment. The dialectic between religious and Javanese beliefs does not cause conflict but results in a merging. Javanese mythology remains firmly upheld by the Selo community because it is believed to play a direct role in their lives. The Saparan tradition is carried out as a form of gratitude, prayer to ancestral spirits, and an effort to maintain harmony with supernatural forces.

Abstract

This paper seeks to identify potential shifts in identity politics, which appear to be evolving in unpredictable ways. This paper observed that, regardless of the underlying dynamics and political shifts, the logical consequences of political turmoil on education, particularly Christian Religious Education, have resulted in the creation of an alienated space at a certain level. Adequate access and care for children with diverse needs, the restructuring of the curriculum, and the 2024 political promise for the education sector are among the key challenges. In light of these observations, this paper examine each phenomenon individually in the role of Gianni Vattimo. This paper employs qualitative research methods, specifically interview techniques, with female subjects, with the aim of elucidating the phenomenon of identity segregation in the context of the livelihood space. The findings demonstrate that Gianni Vattimo's philosophical approach, known as 'weak thought' or 'pensiero debole', is not solely associated with religious hermeneutics. Instead, it also evinces a distinctive interpretation of identity politics, whereby the advancement of specific individual or collective interests exerts a considerable influence on the domain of Christian religious education. Consequently, the value of weak thinking is contingent upon the establishment of mutual respect and love across identities.

Abstract

Parsubang is a Batak tradition that originally emerged as a form of respect for individuals who did not consume pork, and has since evolved into a broader cultural practice symbolizing respect for religious and belief-based differences. This study examines the role of parsubang in fostering social harmony within the Batak community, focusing on how this traditional practice bridges religious divides between Muslims and Christians. The research employs a qualitative approach, gathering data through semi-structured interviews with community leaders, religious figures, and members of the Batak community in both rural and urban areas. Data analysis is conducted using thematic analysis, identifying key themes related to the values of tolerance, mutual respect, and social solidarity within parsubang. The findings show that while the form of parsubang has evolved in urban areas, its core values continue to play a significant role in maintaining social cohesion. Despite modern challenges, the practice remains a crucial element of Batak identity and interfaith harmony. The study concludes that preserving the essence of parsubang while adapting it to contemporary contexts can help maintain religious harmony and strengthen community bonds.

Abstract

Bandung is a highly diverse city, and Kampung Toleransi in Balonggede Village, Regol District, reflects this diversity. The village was built upon the pluralistic nature of its community, consisting of individuals from various religious backgrounds, as evidenced by three places of worship nearby. In general, communities with diverse backgrounds are often perceived as challenging to interact with harmoniously. However, Kampung Toleransi demonstrates a different pattern of social interaction. This study aims to analyze religious tolerance within social interactions to maintain harmony in Kampung Toleransi. The sociological approach to religion is employed, utilizing Mukti Ali's theories on tolerance and harmony along with George Simmel's theory of social interaction. This qualitative research gathers data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the values of tolerance in social interactions within Kampung Toleransi are manifested through government policies, the roles of religious leaders, and the application of ideal principles. The forms of interaction include subordination under a single leader, multiple leaders, ideal principles, and individual freedom, all of which reflect the values of religious tolerance. In conclusion, the harmonious interactions in Kampung Toleransi serve as a model for fostering tolerance in social interactions based on community diversity. This model is highly relevant for application in other cities and regions, particularly in West Java and throughout Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the social interaction between the majority of Muslims and non-Muslim minorities in Aceh in the context of the implementation of Islamic Sharia. Using qualitative methods and case study approaches, this study explores how both groups build social harmony through cultural adaptation, participation in social activities, and inclusive attitudes of the majority. The results showed that non-Muslim minorities actively studied local culture and followed the customs of the majority community to facilitate interaction and avoid conflict. Meanwhile, the majority of Muslims show a moderate attitude by giving space for minorities to practice their beliefs without coercion. This mutual respect reflects religious tolerance and moderation, which is the basis of Aceh's social harmony. These findings show that diversity can be managed well through dialogue, mutual respect, and inclusive policies. This study contributes to understanding the majority-minority relationship in societies that apply Islamic law and how to create social cohesion amid differences.

Abstract

Abstrak Isu perubahan iklim menjadi salah satu tantangan global yang memberikan dampak signifikan terhadap kehidupan manusia, mulai dari bencana alam hingga perubahan pada pola kehidupan sosial dan ekonomi. Dalam menghadapi perubahan iklim, pendekatan berbasis ilmiah sering kali menjadi fokus utama, namun pendekatan berbasis keagamaan juga memiliki peran yang penting. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif untuk menganalisis peran Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), salah satu organisasi masyarakat sipil berbasis Islam terbesar di Indonesia, dalam menghadapi perubahan iklim. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan studi dokumen terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa NU tidak hanya mengedepankan pendekatan berbasis teologi dalam memahamkan umatnya, tetapi juga berperan aktif dalam berbagai program konkret untuk mendukung upaya pelestarian lingkungan. NU memanfaatkan jaringan organisasinya yang luas untuk menyebarkan informasi tentang pentingnya menjaga lingkungan sebagai bagian dari kewajiban agama. Penelitian ini mendukung temuan Robert W. Hefner yang menyatakan bahwa civil Islam di Indonesia berperan penting dalam mendorong demokratisasi dan memperkuat peran masyarakat sipil dalam menghadapi berbagai isu kontemporer, dalam hal ini adalah isu lingkungan dan perubahan iklim. Kontribusi NU dalam isu ini juga sejalan dengan penelitian Jens Koershen yang menyoroti bagaimana organisasi masyarakat dapat menjadi perpanjangan tangan pemerintah dalam membantu masyarakat beradaptasi dengan perubahan iklim.   Abstract The issue of climate change is one of the global challenges that significantly impact human life, ranging from natural disasters to changes in social and economic life patterns. In climate change, scientific-based approaches are often the main focus, but religious-based approaches also have an important role. This study uses a qualitative method to analyze the role of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), one of Indonesia's largest Islamic-based civil society organizations, in dealing with climate change. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and study of relevant documents. The results show that NU not only puts forward a theology-based approach to understanding its people but also plays an active role in various concrete programs to support environmental conservation efforts. NU utilizes its extensive organizational network to spread information about the importance of protecting the environment as part of religious obligations. This research supports Robert W. Hefner's findings that civil Islam in Indonesia plays an important role in promoting democratization and strengthening the role of civil society in dealing with various contemporary issues, in this case, environmental issues and climate change. NU's contribution to this issue also aligns with Jens Koershen's research, which highlights how community organizations can be an extension of the government in helping communities adapt to climate change.

Abstract

Abstrak Artikel ini membahas hubungan strategis dan penyatuan kekuatan antara Kesultanan Cirebon dan Demak pada abad ke-15-16 M dalam berbagai aspek, termasuk relasi kuasa melalui pernikahan, keilmuan, dakwah Islam, militer, dan suksesi. Permasalahannya adalah bagaimana terbentuk hubungan antara Kesultanan Demak dan Cirebon hingga menjadi kekuatan yang bersatu, dan bagaimana keduanya dapat mengembangkan hubungan tesebut sehingga memengaruhi arah perkembangan Islam selanjutnya di Jawa. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode sejarah dengan langkah-langkah heuristik, kritik, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Hasil pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa hubungan keduanya tidak hanya berlandaskan aspek politik, tetapi juga nilai-nilai keagamaan dan militer yang memengaruhi perkembangan Islam di Nusantara. Hubungan Cirebon dan Demak ditandai dengan upaya integrasi melalui perkawinan, pengaruh ulama dalam sistem pemerintahan, serta kerja sama dalam menghadapi ancaman eksternal seperti Majapahit, Pajajaran, dan Portugis. Konflik internal dalam Kesultanan Demak juga turut mempengaruhi keseimbangan politik, di mana Cirebon berperan dalam menentukan stabilitas kerajaan Islam di Jawa. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan sejarah dan analisis teori hubungan kekuasaan, penelitian ini memberikan wawasan mengenai dinamika kekuasaan dan interaksi politik antara kedua kerajaan yang berkontribusi terhadap perkembangan Islam di Nusantara.   Abstract This article examines the strategic relationship and unification of power between the Sultanates of Cirebon and Demak in the 15th-16th centuries across various aspects, including political alliances through marriages, scholarly transmission (sanad), Islamic da'wah, military, and succession. The problem is how the relationship between the Sultanates of Cirebon and Demak was formed to become a united power, and how the two could develop this relationship so as to influence the direction of the further development of Islam in Java. The study employs historical methods, incorporating heuristic analysis, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The findings indicate that the relationship between the two sultanates was not solely based on political considerations but also encompassed religious and military dimensions that influenced the spread of Islam in the archipelago. Their alliance was marked by integration efforts through inter-dynastic marriages, the influence of ulama in governance, and joint strategies against external threats such as Majapahit, Pajajaran, and the Portuguese. Additionally, internal conflicts within the Demak Sultanate impacted the region’s political equilibrium, with Cirebon playing a crucial role in maintaining the stability of Islamic rule in Java. By employing a historical approach and analyzing power relations, this study provides valuable insights into the political dynamics and interactions between these two kingdoms, highlighting their contributions to the development of Islam in the archipelago.

Abstract

This research examines the concept of elderly transcendence by questioning the individualistic assumptions in the Gerotranscendence theory developed by Lars Tornstam (1943-2016), a Swedish sociologist. Gerotranscendence is the shift experienced by elders from self-centered interests to broader, more transcendent perspectives. This theory states that such transcendence occurs through personal reflection and withdrawal from social life. However, in the context of Indonesia's collective culture, this research identified a problem: does transcendence depend only on individual reflection, or can it also be achieved through meaningful social interaction? To answer this question, the study used a phenomenological qualitative method involving 12 elderly people who are active in majelis taklim in urban Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observation, then analyzed using a thematic approach. The results show that the elderly's participation in religious activities not only deepens their spiritual dimension, but also enriches life reflection and strengthens social relationships. The study resulted in the concept of “Collective Transcendence”, which asserts that achieving transcendence is not only through personal reflection but also supported by social and community interactions. As such, the findings encourage the development of Gerotranscendence theory to better suit collective culture and support religious community-based elderly welfare programs.
