Abstract

This study examines the da’wah communication strategies of TGH. L. Muhammad Turmudzi Badaruddin in Lombok, Indonesia, a region facing religious polarization and growing challenges of intolerance. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis at Pondok Pesantren Qamarul Huda Bagu. The findings reveal a multimodal da’wah approach that integrates bil-lisan (oral preaching), bil-hal (exemplary conduct), and bil-kitabah (written texts), institutionalized through pesantren-based education and community initiatives. These strategies not only foster tolerance and social cohesion but also embed wasathiyah Islam into local socio-economic structures such as pesantren cooperatives. Theoretically, this study extends da’wah communication theory by situating it within contemporary frameworks of mediatized and contextual religion, demonstrating how pesantren leadership functions as communicative authority in multicultural societies. Practically, the study highlights the potential of pesantren-based leaders to institutionalize Islamic moderation as a sustainable model for peacebuilding and civic engagement beyond individual charisma.

Abstract

This study investigates Hamka’s reformist epistemology by examining the modernist genealogies and hermeneutical strategies that shaped his intellectual project in the Malay Indonesian world. While previous scholarship has highlighted Hamka as a literary figure, nationalist thinker, or religious leader, limited attention has been given to the systematic ways in which he internalized, adapted, and transformed the rational modernism of Muhammad Abduh into a distinct framework of Islamic renewal. Addressing this gap, the study aims to identify the intellectual transmission of Abduh’s ideas into Hamka’s corpus, analyze the interpretive principles embedded in Tafsir al Azhar and related writings, and explain how these principles contributed to the emergence of a localized yet cosmopolitan modernist discourse. Methodologically, the research employs qualitative textual analysis, intellectual genealogy, and historical contextualization using primary sources from Hamka’s tafsir, essays, speeches, and archival materials, complemented by secondary analyses of Southeast Asian reform movements. The findings reveal that Hamka developed a reformist epistemology grounded in rational inquiry, ethical intentionality, and the rejection of uncritical conformity, while simultaneously constructing a vernacularized model of Islamic modernity attuned to Malay Indonesian socio cultural realities. This synthesis produced a transformative religious discourse that reshaped educational, doctrinal, and public life across the region. The study contributes theoretically by repositioning Hamka within the global trajectory of Islamic modernism and demonstrating how peripheral intellectual spaces generate original models of reform. Its implications extend to contemporary debates on Islamic hermeneutics, religious authority, and the ongoing negotiation of modernity in Muslim Southeast Asia.

Abstract

Coastal Muslim populations are increasingly facing ecological degradation, climate uncertainty, and the deterioration of traditional fishing practices, prompting essential enquiries into the manifestation and mobilisation of religious values in evolving maritime contexts. This study examined the Patorani fishing tradition in South Sulawesi via the framework of Maritime Cultural Da’wah, defined as an embodied Islamic discursive tradition. The research employs a qualitative-interpretive design, incorporating discourse and narrative analysis derived from data gathered from twelve intentionally selected participants, including fishermen, ritual specialists, and community leaders, supplemented by extensive participant observation and ethnographic documentation. The data were transcribed and analysed using a mixed inductive-deductive coding framework that emphasised moral vocabularies, ceremonial lexicons, authority structures, and ecological practices inherent in maritime life. The findings indicate that Islamic values are conveyed not chiefly through formal doctrinal teaching but are manifested through three interconnected domains: ritualised risk governance based on tawakkul, collective decision-making organised through layered shura, and a moral economy of distribution that prioritises fairness and social solidarity. The study conceptually extends Maritime Cultural Da’wah as a theoretical framework that elucidates the reproduction of Islamic ethical fishing. This study enhances worldwide discussions on religion and sustainability by demonstrating that indigenous fishing practices can act as repositories of ecological wisdom, ethical management, and communal resilience. It provides practical implications for coastal policy, indicating that the preservation of maritime cultural practices is essential for both protecting cultural heritage and promoting sustainable, community-based fisheries management amid environmental change.

Abstract

This study examines how inclusive campus culture is negotiated in Islamic higher education in Indonesia and Malaysia as a mechanism for fostering peaceful coexistence and preventing violence, radicalism, and identity-based discrimination. While both countries have advanced institutional agendas of religious moderation in Indonesia and wasatiyyah in Malaysia, existing scholarship has largely treated these agendas as normative, curricular, or policy-based interventions, with limited attention to how inclusion is enacted as a lived institutional process shaped by religion, power, and identity. Using a mixed-methods design, this study combines survey data, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions conducted in selected Islamic higher education institutions in Indonesia and is complemented by comparative insights from Malaysian higher education contexts. The quantitative component analyzes the influence of knowledge of inclusive values and social tolerance behavior on the implementation of inclusive campus culture, while the qualitative component explores how institutional authority, identity relations, and everyday practices shape inclusion, recognition, and protection on campus. The findings show that knowledge of inclusive values and social tolerance behavior significantly influence the implementation of inclusive campus culture, with the cognitive dimension emerging as the stronger determinant. More importantly, the study demonstrates that inclusive campus culture functions as a negotiated institutional process in which religious values are translated into governance practices, power relations shape access to safety and recognition, and identity positions influence vulnerability and belonging. In this sense, violence, radicalism, and identity-based discrimination are not isolated phenomena, but manifestations of uneven inclusion within campus life. Theoretically, the study advances an integrative analytical framework linking religion, power, and identity to the institutional production of inclusive campus culture in Islamic higher education. Globally, it contributes to debates on peaceful coexistence by showing that preventing radicalism in Muslim-majority higher education contexts requires not only doctrinal moderation or security approaches, but also the institutionalization of inclusive cultures that enable recognition, participation, and protection across diverse identities.

Abstract

The phenomenon of ruqyah carried out online through the TikTok platform shows the transformation of religious practices in the digital media era. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of ruqyah practices in live streams of TikTok @nyairosidah3 accounts and examine the interactions that arise between ruqyah practitioners (Nyai Rosidah) and netizens that reflect the process of religious commodification. This research uses a qualitative approach with a content analysis method. Data were obtained from 30 live broadcast sessions observed during the period 1–30 March 2025 and analyzed thematically. The results of the study show that interactions in live broadcasting can be categorized into four main categories, namely positive comments, negative comments, ruqyah requests, and responses from ruqyah perpetrators. Positive comments came from individuals who experienced mental health disorders such as anxiety and physical tension, who then gave testimonials after receiving ruqyah services via live streaming. The request for ruqyah conveyed through the comment column shows that the digital space has become a medium for remote spiritual consultation. The responses given in the form of scripture readings and simple instructions to the patient reflect empathic interpersonal communication. This study uses the theory of computer-mediated communication to understand the form of virtual interaction that exists without physical presence, as well as the theory of religious commodification to examine how spiritual values are displayed and interpreted in the context of digital media. These findings suggest that religious practices in social media are not only ritualistic, but also part of symbolic and economic exchanges in digital media.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how women’s resistance is discursively constructed in Islamic digital media associated with two major Indonesian Muslim civil society traditions, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama, by comparing Rahma.id and Mubadalah.id as mediatized arenas of gendered religious authority. Using a qualitative critical discourse design, this research applies Sara Mills’ feminist Critical Discourse Analysis to six purposively selected articles from both platforms, focusing on subject–object positioning, writer–reader relations, narrative framing, and the construction of women’s epistemic agency in Indonesian Islamic digital discourse. The findings reveal that Rahma.id constructs women’s resistance through a reformist–modernist discourse that legitimises women’s agency through education, moral reasoning, historical reinterpretation, and gradual empowerment within Progressive Islam, while Mubadalah.id articulates a more transformative and deconstructive resistance by challenging patriarchal fiqh, male-centred religious authority, and asymmetrical gender relations through the principle of mubādalah or reciprocity. The theoretical contribution lies in extending Sara Mills’ CDA by demonstrating how feminist subject positioning operates differently across reformist and theological-counterhegemonic Islamic media discourses, thereby contributing to digital religion, feminist communication, and Islamic feminist scholarship. The practical implications suggest that Islamic media practitioners, religious organisations, gender advocacy institutions, and policymakers can develop more inclusive digital communication strategies for advancing gender justice. However, the research limitation is that the study is restricted to six texts from two Indonesian platforms, indicating the need for future research involving audience reception, digital ethnography, social media engagement, and cross-national comparison.

Abstract

This article examines how major Muslim organizations in Indonesia rearticulate Islamic authority through mediatized da‘wah in platform society. While studies of digital Islam have often focused on individual preachers, religious influencers, or online piety, less attention has been paid to Muslim organizations as institutional communicators that must translate historical legitimacy into platform-specific visibility without losing doctrinal credibility. Drawing on a qualitative comparative study of Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah, this article analyzes publicly accessible digital surfaces, including official websites, Instagram accounts, YouTube channels, and linked digital services. The study is based on digital observation of recent visible content and platform interfaces, supported by thematic coding of institutional identity markers, communicative formats, thematic distribution, cross-platform linkages, audience-facing indicators, and ecosystem-building practices.The findings show that NU and Muhammadiyah do not merely move da‘wah from offline institutions to online media. Instead, they mediatize organizational authority through three interrelated strategies. First, both organizations construct integrated digital ecosystems that connect websites, social media, video platforms, and auxiliary services. Second, they differentiate communicative functions across platforms: websites sustain textual depth and institutional framing; Instagram condenses messages into visual and affective forms; YouTube enables extended explanation, lectures, podcasts, and live dissemination; while linked services strengthen continuity and user retention. Third, platform adaptation produces a form of hybridized institutional authority in which Islamic legitimacy is sustained through the interaction of organizational credibility, platform affordances, editorial routines, and audience-facing visibility.The article contributes to digital religion, Islamic communication, and organizational communication studies by shifting the analytical focus from individual digital preachers to Muslim organizations as strategic actors in public Islam. It argues that platform culture does not replace institutional religious authority, but reorganizes the conditions under which such authority becomes visible, credible, and socially accessible. In the Indonesian context as a Global South Muslim-majority society, this process also has broader implications for credible religious knowledge, inclusive digital public life, and the sociocultural transformation of Islamic authority.

Abstract

The increasingly complex environmental crisis requires educational approaches that are oriented not only toward knowledge acquisition but also toward the development of environmental awareness and environmentally responsible character. From an Islamic perspective, human beings bear the responsibility of serving as khalifah fil ardh (stewards on Earth), entrusted with preserving and protecting the environment. This study aims to analyze the representation of Islamic ecological values in Green Education-based claymation media, examine the process of value internalization through Islamic Religious Education (PAI), and investigate changes in students’ ecological awareness following the implementation of the media. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach as part of a research and development project involving Green Education-based educational media for PAI. Data were collected through observations, questionnaires, documentation, and field notes involving fifth-grade students at SDN 28 Parepare. The findings revealed that the claymation media represented Islamic ecological values, including maintaining environmental cleanliness, disposing of waste properly, planting and caring for vegetation, preserving nature, and avoiding environmentally destructive behaviors. These values reflect the concept of khalifah fil ardh, which was internalized through storytelling, classroom discussions, and reflective learning activities. The implementation of the media also contributed to an improvement in students’ ecological awareness, as indicated by their increased concern for environmental cleanliness and the sustainability of the school environment. These findings confirm that Green Education-based claymation media function not only as instructional media but also as a means of internalizing Islamic ecological values and strengthening ecological awareness in Islamic Religious Education learning.

Abstract

This article examines the contestation of theocentric and secular paradigms in global environmental ethics by positioning Islamic environmental ethics as a critical-conceptual lens. The background of the study is based on the fact that the global ecological crisis is not only caused by weak technology or policies, but also by a paradigm crisis in understanding the relationship between humans, nature, and values. This article uses qualitative methods with a library study design and document analysis. Data are analyzed through literature reduction, thematic categorisation, critical interpretation, and conceptual synthesis of sources on Islamic environmental ethics, the secular paradigm, environmental jurisprudence, ecological education, Green Deen, Green Madrasa, Al-Mizan, and Islamic sustainability instruments. The results show that the secular paradigm contributes to environmental regulation, science, and governance, but tends to be reductionist when nature is understood solely as an object of policy and economics. In contrast, the theocentric paradigm of Islam offers an ethical foundation through tawhid, khalifah, amanah, mizan, and verses of kawniyah. This study emphasises the need to develop a global environmental ethics through a critical dialogue between scientific rationality and spiritual responsibility.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of persuasive communication approaches in the da’wah activities of Majelis Nururrahmah and their role in enhancing the religiosity of female congregants in Medan Sunggal District. This research employs a qualitative approach with a field research design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, involving an ustazah and female congregants as research subjects. The findings indicate that da’wah activities are conducted in a structured manner through regular religious gatherings, sermons, and dialogic interactions. The persuasive communication approach is implemented through the use of polite language, narrative methods, emotional engagement, communicator role modeling, and interpersonal communication. These approaches are effective in building emotional closeness and trust among the congregants. The increase in religiosity is reflected in cognitive, affective, and behavioral aspects, as indicated by improved religious understanding, attitudes, and more consistent worship practices. Thus, persuasive communication plays a significant role in encouraging gradual and sustainable changes in religious behavior.
