Abstract

The never-ending conflict between Palestine and Israel has resulted in great suffering to this day. However, the fighting spirit of the Palestinian people continues to grow strong roots. Palestinian people use various media to voice their rights and criticize the current situation affecting Palestine, one of which is in the form of caricature art. Naji Al-Ali, as a caricature artist, is active in voicing criticism and the conditions of concern faced by Palestinian society. Hanzhala is one of Naji's works created against the backdrop of the Nakba. Hanzhala then evolved into a symbol of resistance and a strong symbol of struggle for the national identity of the Palestinian people. This research will analyze the relevance and effectiveness of the use of Hanzhala caricatures as a reflection of the factual conditions of Palestinian resistance in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict from 7 October 2023 until now. This research was researched using a descriptive qualitative approach method through relevant library sources. Based on the research analysis that has been carried out, the Hanzhala caricatures by Naji al-Ali remain relevant in depicting criticism and current conflict situations. However, the use of Hanzhala caricatures as a medium for criticism has not attracted much attention from the global community, so the aim of using caricatures as a medium to increase recognition of the resistance to the Palestinian struggle is less effective.

The method used is descriptive qualitative with structured interview data collection techniques from kings, traditional leaders, community leaders, youth and migrant communities. The results showed that the role of the king or Rat and its legal structure as a conflict mediator has a role in maintaining the religious harmony of the Kei community. The position of the king as a representative of God or God and is the second head after the head of God, is a link between custom and religion and is respected by the community. As the head of customary government, the king has legal legitimacy over customary institutions including the head of the Ohoi/Ohoi Rat government and all natural resource wealth. The role of the king and his legal structure as a decision-maker at customary sessions or decisions made by the king himself are obeyed and adhered to by his community within the framework of obedience to the customary law of Larvul Ngabal which is considered sacred and sacred.

Abstract

The rise of horror movies that present religious themes to evoke scary things makes people more afraid to worship. The movie Kiblat is one of the movies that was criticized because there were scenes and posters that were considered insulting to Islam, so after various criticisms the movie was transformed into Thaghut and began to change posters and cut some scenes that were considered inappropriate. Researchers are interested in seeing the perceptions of audiences (Thaghut movie viewers) about the pros and cons whether audiences still have confidence in the existence of media idealism so that they still choose to watch the film. This research was analyzed using the SEM PLS technique which was distributed to 348 respondents with a total of 16 statement items. So that it gives the results that there is an influence of media idealism on audience perceptions with a total percentage of 68% so that the audience has confidence in the media to be able to meet the needs of the audience and believe that there are no elements of religious insults in this film, while the remaining 32% is influenced by other factors. This article is written for the audience's understanding of the importance of being selective in absorbing media information so that they are not easily led by opinions that are not yet known in fact.

Abstract

Religious moderation is often portrayed as a normative or policy-driven concept; nevertheless, its actual implementation in minority Muslim situations, particularly in culturally complex regions such as Papua, is inadequately explored. This study aims to examine the expression, negotiation, and maintenance of religious moderation via intercultural communication among Muslim Papuans in Sorong, Indonesia, a multicultural frontier marked by substantial interethnic and interreligious interactions. A qualitative case study methodology was employed to collect data through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, involving community leaders, religious figures, and local residents. The findings demonstrate that religious moderation operates as both a theoretical construct and a communicative practice embedded in daily interactions, involving the utilisation of hybrid languages, participation in communal social activities, and the negotiation of religious identity across varied contexts. This study theoretically enhances intercultural communication frameworks by demonstrating that in minority contexts, religious moderation functions as a relational and adaptive communication strategy rather than a fixed theological position. The results suggest that efforts to promote religious harmony must go beyond authoritative narratives and incorporate locally established communication practices and cultural standards. This study offers new perspectives by conceptualising Islamic moderation as a lived and communicatively constructed phenomenon within a Global South framework, offering a nuanced understanding of the practice and negotiation of Islam across diverse socio-cultural environments.

Abstract

Religious moderation has become a critical policy discourse in Indonesia to mitigate escalating interreligious tensions and maintain social cohesion in a diverse society. Nonetheless, although moderation is extensively advocated at moral and institutional levels, its connection to legal pluralism, especially in influencing individuals' legal consciousness within a plural legal framework, remains inadequately examined. This study seeks to analyse the comprehension and negotiation of religious moderation by religious leaders in the context of legal pluralism, and how this interplay mirrors wider trends of plural governance in modern Indonesia. The study utilised a quantitative design supplemented by minimal qualitative insights, gathering data using a structured questionnaire administered to sixty religious leaders associated with prominent religious organisations in Palembang, a diverse urban environment in South Sumatra. The findings indicate a notable epistemic asymmetry: respondents exhibit a high level of understanding of religious moderation, yet their grasp of legal pluralism is relatively inferior, highlighting a disparity between normative acceptance of tolerance and practical awareness of plural legal systems. This study theoretically adds by introducing the idea of legal consciousness to connect religious moderation with legal pluralism, emphasising that symbolic acceptance of coexistence does not inherently equate to support for plural legal governance. The findings indicate the necessity for policy initiatives that incorporate legal education, civic reasoning, and interreligious dialogue to enhance inclusive governance at the local level. This study contextualises Indonesia within wider discussions on post-secularism and legal pluralism in the Global South, providing fresh perspectives on the difficulties of reconciling religious values with democratic legal systems in diverse nations.

Abstract

In global discussions over Muslim women's attire, prevailing viewpoints frequently simplify modest clothing into universal classifications, neglecting its culturally distinct significances and experiential aspects across various Muslim communities. Current research on Rimpu, the traditional attire of Bimanese women in eastern Indonesia, has predominantly regarded it as a static cultural artefact, neglecting its function as a dynamic locus of social negotiation and embodied piety. This study seeks to analyse Rimpu as a symbolic and performative practice through which women in Bima navigate cultural identity, spiritual values, and social transformation in modern situations. The research utilised a qualitative ethnographic methodology in Bima Regency, employing participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation to capture intergenerational perspectives and daily behaviours. The data indicate that Rimpu functions in three interconnected realms: as a manifestation of cultural-religious identity, as a locus of evolving significations influenced by modernity and media, and as a commodified cultural emblem within heritage politics and visual representation. The study conceptually enhances the comprehension of Muslim women’s attire as an expression of lived Islam and performative identity, wherein piety is regionally produced, negotiated, and recontextualized rather than consistently dictated. The findings underscore the necessity to transcend mere symbolic preservation in favour of a more critical and participatory engagement with cultural practices, framing Rimpu as a perspective to reevaluate the intersections of gender, religion, and cultural transformation in the Global South

Abstract

Polygamy in Muslim civilisations has frequently been examined via legal and normative lenses, neglecting its socio-cultural and performative aspects, especially in non-patriarchal social structures. The objective is to examine how polygamy operates not just as a marriage structure but also as a performative mechanism for the construction, negotiation, and legitimisation of religious authority and Muslim identity within a diverse socio-cultural framework. This study utilises a qualitative interpretive methodology based on historical and documentary examination of Sheikh Sulaiman Arrasuli’s life, writings, and socio-religious endeavours. The research employs an interdisciplinary theoretical framework, incorporating Goffman’s dramaturgy for the analysis of public performance and role management, Charles Taylor’s notion of authenticity for identity formation, and Mahmood’s theory of embodied piety for the construction of religious subjectivity. Data are extracted from historical documents, biographical narratives, and previous academic research, and are examined via a socio-cultural framework to reveal patterns of authority negotiation. The findings indicate that polygamy in this setting operated as a culturally ingrained and socially purposeful practice that facilitated the consolidation of religious power within a matrilineal structure. The study indicates that women were not only passive subjects but rather active players in negotiating the meanings and implications of polygamous setups. This work theoretically enhances the comprehension of religious authority as a performative and negotiated construct, rather than as a static result of doctrinal knowledge. It contests prevailing notions that characterise polygamy exclusively as a patriarchal or legal matter. The findings provide insights examination of the connection between polygamy, religious authority, and matrilineal social systems, providing a sophisticated perspective that connects South-east Asian Islamic studies with international discussions on religion, culture, and power

Abstract

This study investigates how hustling culture narratives on Instagram mediate and alter Qur’anic authority through mechanisms of epistemic justice. This study seeks to examine the methods, processes, and consequences of selecting and interpreting Qur’anic verses in religious content on Instagram. The study utilises a qualitative design, integrating textual and visual analysis of three intentionally chosen Instagram accounts: : @alqurancustomku, @lanternoflightofficial, and @ssheikh00 that actively participate in productivity and motivational discourse. The approach employs an interdisciplinary framework that incorporates text reception theory, framing theory, hermeneutics, and viewpoints on algorithmic mediation in digital religion. The findings indicate that Qur’anic passages are often decontextualized and deliberately reframed to conform to the principles of hustle culture, emphasising motivational appeal, aesthetic presentation, and audience involvement at the expense of exegetical depth. This approach produces several forms of epistemic distortion, such as selective quoting, oversimplification of meaning, and the use of scripture as a rhetorical tool. The study reveals a notable transition in interpretive authority from conventional religious experts to digital content providers, driven by platform algorithms that enhance visibility and virality. This study theoretically advances the field of digital Islam by introducing the concept of epistemic distortion as a framework for understanding the reconfiguration of religious texts within algorithmic contexts. The text contends that Qur’anic authority is no longer exclusively based on scholarly tradition but is increasingly influenced by platform dynamics, resulting in the phenomenon known as “algorithmic piety.” This reconfiguration signifies wider changes in the interplay between religion, media, and power in the Global South. This study highlights the impact of algorithmic mediation on the sustainability of religious knowledge and authority in contemporary Islam by contextualising local digital activities within global discussions on religion and media

Abstract

Within the framework of the growing significance of social media as a platform for religious expression, humorous da'wah arises not merely as a communicative tactic but also as a means of navigating piety, authority, and audience interaction in digital public spheres. This research seeks to examine the influence of humour on audience reactions, the interpretation of religious messages by netizens, and the reflection of broader socio-cultural dynamics in digital interactions among Muslim online communities. This study employs a qualitative digital reception methodology, integrating computational sentiment analysis with thematic and discourse analysis to examine 1,000 user comments gathered via Apify. The data were evaluated with tools from Communalytic.org, such as the Civility Analyser, Sentiment Analyser, Topic Analyser, and Network Analyser, to discern emotional patterns, discourse themes, and interaction structures. This methodological integration facilitates a sophisticated comprehension of how audiences interpret meaning in platform-mediated religious communication. The results indicate that netizen reactions are primarily neutral (61.76%), followed by positive (14.71%) and negative (23.53%) views, suggesting a trend of negotiated reception rather than polarised involvement. Humour serves as a mechanism for low-conflict religious discourse, mitigating animosity and sustaining relatively low levels of toxicity in the commentary environment. The commentary discourse illustrates a process of negotiating digital piety, wherein listeners interpret, modify, and occasionally challenge religious teachings according to their social and cultural settings. This study enhances the scholarship on digital Islam by illustrating how humorous da'wah functions within platform logics to generate inclusive and emotive forms of religious communication. It emphasises the significance of comedy in promoting civil online discourse and provides insights into the reconfiguration of religious authority within participatory media contexts.

Abstract

The swift proliferation of digital media has altered the domain of Islamic preaching, transitioning da’wah from conventional religious venues to algorithmically influenced platforms that redefine the construction and negotiation of religious authority. This paper investigates how Muhammadiyah used @Mchannel1912 YouTube as a platform for mediatized da’wah, focusing on the reconfiguration of religious authority within the digital public realm. This study seeks to examine the techniques, obstacles, and ramifications of Muhammadiyah's digital involvement, emphasising the adaptation of institutional religious communication to media logic while preserving doctrinal integrity. This study utilises a qualitative methodology, including netnography, content analysis of specific YouTube videos, and comprehensive interviews with principal participants in digital da’wah creation. The analysis of data employed an interactive methodology of coding, categorisation, and interpretation, informed by the theoretical framework of mediatization of religion and digital religious communication. The findings indicate that Muhammadiyah’s YouTube strategy exemplifies a degree of partial mediatization, marked by the use of digital production processes while not entirely embracing interactive and algorithm-driven communication methods. This study theoretically enhances the literature on the mediatization of religion by introducing the idea of "partial mediatization," which elucidates how institutional religious actors selectively adjust to digital media contexts without completely assimilating platform logic. It enhances current studies by emphasising the micro-processes of interaction between media logic and institutional logic in organisational da’wah practices. The study also highlights the broader significance of mediatized da’wah for promoting moderate Islamic discourse, social justice, inclusion, and peaceful coexistence in contemporary digital public life
