Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic civil society in maintaining social harmony and strengthening the future of democracy in Indonesia by highlighting the contributions of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, the two largest Islamic organizations in the country. Employing a field research design and a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving organizational leaders, academics, and relevant sources. The analysis utilized a descriptive-analytical method grounded in the civil society theories proposed by Robert W. Hefner and Larry Diamond. The findings reveal that NU and Muhammadiyah play strategic roles in reinforcing democratic values, promoting tolerance, and sustaining social cohesion within Indonesia’s pluralistic society. NU, through the concept of Islam Nusantara, integrates Islamic teachings with local cultural values, while Muhammadiyah advances progressive Islam by emphasizing rationality, education, and social reform. Despite these contributions, Indonesian democracy continues to face significant challenges, including religious populism, identity-based politics, and shifting political dynamics. This study concludes that strengthening Islamic civil society is essential for preserving social stability and ensuring the long-term sustainability of democracy in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines how Pancasila and Kemalism shape state ideology and national identity in Indonesia and Türkiye, particularly regarding religion, secularism, and political legitimacy. It employs a qualitative, literature-based approach within comparative political science. The study draws on the constitutional and legal framework of both nations as a primary foundation, but relies heavily on secondary sources, including scholarly works, research articles, and a literature review as the framework. The findings reveal that Pancasila represents an inclusive and accommodative model that integrates religious values within a pluralistic society, while Kemalism reflects a state-led, assertive secularism characterized by a top-down modernization process. Both ideologies are dynamic and subject to reinterpretation in response to contemporary political developments. This study contributes to comparative political analysis by demonstrating how state ideologies function as dynamic instruments for negotiating legitimacy, pluralism, and religion-state relations in Muslim-majority democracies. It offers a novel analytical framework that foregrounds the role of political parties and ideological contestation as drivers of ideological transformation. The research further introduces the concept of “ideological architecture,” highlighting how an ideology is constructed and by whom determines its long-term durability and its capacity to manage the intersection of religion and democracy in Muslim-majority states.

Abstract

Studies on food taboos are mainly discussed within the context of pregnancy. There is less focus on the relationship between practices and ethnic groups. TBBR, as one of the Dayak organisations, requires its members to perform food taboos. These are believed to be a vital part of Dayak culture and spirituality, inherited through generations, serving as a code of conduct, a protector of spiritual harmony, and a marker of cultural identity. This ethnographic study aims to identify food taboo practices, their contributing factors, and their impact on members of the Tariu Borneo Bangkule Rajakng (TBBR) Organisation. The analysis reveals that food taboos within TBBR are not only related to physical health but also function as spiritual rituals to gain strength and immunity, as well as to connect the present people with their ancestors. In addition, these taboos reinforce discipline, promote solidarity, and affirm the Dayak cultural identity. In conclusion, the practice of food taboos in TBBR is a complex tradition that integrates spiritual, physical, and social aspects, aiming to preserve the ancestral cultural heritage in the modern era.

Abstract

The increasing use of social media has enabled the rapid dissemination of ideological narratives and facilitated the formation of online communities based on shared beliefs. One account that has attracted public attention is @muslimahnewsid, which is often associated with narratives rejecting democracy, promoting the caliphate, and criticizing religious moderation. However, limited research has examined how these narratives contribute to the formation of group cohesion among followers. This study aims to analyze how fantasy themes, fantasy chains, and rhetorical visions are constructed in the Instagram content of @muslimahnewsid using Symbolic Convergence Theory (SCT).  This study employed a qualitative approach with content analysis. Data consisted of three Instagram video posts selected from ten purposively sampled posts uploaded between January 2024 and March 2025. The analysis focused on captions, visual elements, and audience comments. To strengthen the findings, in-depth interviews were conducted with expert informants.  The findings show that the account constructs fantasy themes centered on leadership crisis, the delegitimization of democracy, and the idealization of the caliphate. These narratives are reinforced through audience interactions, forming fantasy chains that ultimately generate a rhetorical vision portraying Islamic governance as the preferred alternative. The study concludes that symbolic communication plays a significant role in fostering ideological cohesion and collective identity within digital communities.

Abstract

Inter-sectarian debates on social media have triggered sharp internal polarization among Muslims. While previous Living Qur'an studies overlook institutional academic habitus in verse reception, this research explores how Islamic Studies master's students from five PTKIs; UIN Jakarta, PTIQ Jakarta, UIN Yogyakarta, UIN Banjarmasin, and UNIDA Gontor reproduce tolerance verses responding to digital internal conflicts. Employing a qualitative Living Qur'an approach with sociology of knowledge and habitus analysis, this study involved 22 purposively selected informants. The study reveals three primary findings. First, students' reception of tolerance verses is non-monolithic, spanning six intersecting paradigms that demonstrate the text's flexibility when engaging with readers' distinct habitus. Second, digital responses are polarized between disengagement strategies as academic distinction mechanisms and varied active strategies. Third, students' reception is constructed by an interlocking web of academic habitus, undergraduate background, organizational activism, cross-disciplinary interactions, fragmented reference authority, and digital literacy. This study demonstrates that religious moderation in the digital sphere is profoundly shaped by students' academic habitus, institutional ecosystems, and critical digital literacy.
The Exploitation of Religious Narratives: The Study of “Jihad Nikah” Narratives in the ISIS Al-Qur'an Perspective: Eksploitasi Narasi Keagamaan: Studi Tentang Narasi “Jihad Nikah” pada ISIS Perspektif Al-Qur'an Haris Fatwa Dinal Maula

Abstract

ISIS uses the term “marriage jihad” narrative to attract new recruits, especially among women. Although ISIS was declared defeated in 2016, the seeds of the “jihadi brides” narrative can still be found in some acts of terrorism around the world even today. Hence, the study of “marriage jihad” is seen very relevant and urgent to be conducted. “Marriage jihad” narrative, according to them, emphasizes the importance of expecting mothers who will deliver warriors and soldiers who involved in their holy war. On the other hand, this narrative is also used to legitimize biological motives of ISIS combatants. Based on human rights perspective, this narrative is the kind of women slavery who are perceived as sexual objects. This is often wrapped in religious terminology, such “for the sake of Islam”. The “marriage jihad” phrase, which has never been found in the history of Islamic discourse, is analyzed through the perspectives of the Qur’an based on Ma’na Cum Maghza approach. According to the Qur’anic perspectives, both jihad and marriage have the same goal, that is to build a vision of peace and compassion. So the narrative of the “marriage jihad” initiated by ISIS is certainly at odd with the Islamic principles. ISIS menggunakan narasi “jihad nikah” untuk menarik calon anggota baru, khususnya perempuan. Meskipun ISIS telah dinyatakan kalah pada tahun 2016, benih-benih narasi “jihadi brides” masih dapat ditemukan dalam berbagai aksi terorisme di seluruh dunia hingga saat ini. Kondisi tersebut menjadikan kajian mengenai narasi “jihad nikah” tetap relevan dan urgen untuk dilakukan. Artikel ini membahas eksploitasi terminologi agama dalam agenda propaganda ISIS melalui konsep “jihad nikah”. Narasi ini, menurut mereka, menekankan pentingnya perempuan untuk dihamili agar anak-anak yang lahir kelak menjadi pejuang dan prajurit yang memperjuangkan tujuan mereka. Di sisi lain, narasi tersebut juga digunakan sebagai legitimasi bagi pemenuhan kebutuhan syahwat para kombatan ISIS yang berada di medan perang. Frasa “jihad nikah” sendiri tidak pernah ditemukan dalam sejarah diskursus Islam. Tulisan ini mengupas narasi “jihad nikah” dalam perspektif al-Qur’an dengan menggunakan pendekatan Ma’na Cum Maghza. Menurut sudut pandang tafsir al-Qur’an, jihad dan nikah memiliki tujuan yang serupa, yaitu membangun visi perdamaian yang berlandaskan kasih sayang. Oleh karena itu, narasi “jihad nikah” yang diprakarsai oleh ISIS tersebut jelas bertolak belakang dengan prinsip-prinsip Islam.

Abstract

Religious multiculturalism presents both opportunities for harmony and risks of conflict when differences are exploited, with ineffective communication frequently triggering social disintegration. In this context, religious leaders play a pivotal role in bridging societal divides and cultivating shared understanding to strengthen interfaith relations while countering religious radicalism. This study employs qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach, collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation, analyzed via data reduction, presentation, and verification techniques. Results demonstrate that religious leaders in Nggeru Kopa Hamlet drive peacebuilding by constructing social values anchored in local traditions:such as the InaRiha practices in prayer gatherings, second,consensus prohibiting open pork processing by Christians to respect Muslim neighbors, and  mutual cooperation in Mbolo Weki and Karawi Ulucempe traditions. These mechanisms fortify interfaith bonds and ensure social stability amid diversity.These practices strengthen interfaith relations and ensure social stability amidst diversity. These findings contribute to interfaith communication theory by demonstrating how religious leaders act as social architects, not merely facilitators, of peace in a multicultural society.   .

Abstract

This study aims to reveal and analysis the potency of violent values in early childhood education that is taught through religious teaching materials. This study is critical to analyze because the understanding of violence instilled in childhood can have long-lasting effects on their social and mental development such as fostering aggressive behavior, normalizing violence, and causing social maladjustment. This study uses a qualitative method. And, to reveal the forms of potential violence through the teachings being taught, this study is also supported by questionnaire data. The findings in this study show that two types of religious teachings have the potential as seeds of violence internalized in kindergarten namely exclusivism and fanaticism. These two types represent characteristics of theological claims that exert consequences in shaping the understanding of intolerant motivations and behaviors. By using the genealogy of power theory as knife analysis, this study concludes that the potency of violence based on religious values in early childhood education does not only reflect how the power operates systematically within religious teachings in a micro context in the form of teacher-student relationships in generating violence understanding but also reflects a broader context within social and political structures.

Abstract

Social piety in religious traditions is considered a moral obligation that must be carried out by every individual. Social piety is part of a process of defining Islamic worship in a contemporary context. As is the case in Sumenep Regency, this practice is well-maintained, but challenges in maintaining social and moral values ​​remain. News about immoral acts, such as murder, rape, and corruption, often appears in the media and indicates a humanitarian crisis that requires attention. Therefore, it is necessary to measure and evaluate through the Social Piety Index and the Tolerance Index of Sumenep Regency. This study uses a mix-methods approach. The respondents were residents of Sumenep Regency, using multistage random sampling (400 respondents). Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and index analysis. The results showed that the Social Piety Index of the Sumenep Regency Community reached a score of 85,91. This figure represents the condition of the community successfully creating a harmonious, caring, and mutually supportive social atmosphere. Second, the tolerance index with a score of 87,95, the community feels harmonious social relations and mutual respect for differences. This achievement illustrates a strong foundation for realizing social harmony as a main pillar in the development vision of Sumenep Regency.

Abstract

Promoting social togetherness through educational institutions in diverse societies often encounters heightened sensitivity and resistance due to differences in religion, belief, culture, environment, and language, compared to approaches rooted in public activities such as tourism. In Indonesia, many tourism attractions originated as places of worship located in culturally significant areas, where local belief systems shape social and cultural practices. This study investigates how values of togetherness are practically manifested at the intersection of belief, nature, and sociocultural patterns in a tourism industry of Rembang, Indonesia. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving tourism practitioners, visitors, site caretakers, and local government officials. Triangulation was employed to ensure data saturation, and analysis was conducted ethnographically using Spradley’s domain analysis. The findings reveal that the convergence of religious beliefs, sociocultural activities, and natural attractions fosters social cohesion among individuals from diverse backgrounds. This intersection not only sustains mutual understanding and appreciation of differences but also contributes to social harmony in Lasem, Rembang, enabling respectful interaction within a multi-ethnic, multi-religious, and multi-racial community.
