Abstract

Indonesia’s diverse society faces persistent challenges from environmental uncertainty and social conflict, which threaten both economic security and social cohesion. Existing welfare initiatives, such as the bantuan sosial (bansos) program and food estate projects, have achieved limited success due to structural weaknesses, inaccurate targeting, and the risk of long-term dependency. These issues point to the need for an ethically grounded and contextually relevant welfare policy framework. This study introduces a normative model of social welfare based on Qur’anic narratives—specifically the stories of Prophet Yusuf and Zulkarnain—interpreted through Paul Spicker’s social welfare theory. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach and content analysis of Qur’anic verses, the research identifies core principles aligned with Spicker’s framework: basic needs fulfillment, rights protection, and equitable resource access. This integration of Qur’anic ethics with modern welfare theory offers a novel policy perspective for Indonesia. Key findings show that Prophet Yusuf’s approach to social assistance relied on barter systems to foster independence, complemented by strategies emphasizing job creation, sustainable land use, and active collaboration between government and society. The involvement of social workers as strategic partners strengthens policy implementation and community empowerment. While the conceptual model advances theoretical understanding, further empirical validation in real policy contexts is needed. This research demonstrates that social policies rooted in Qur’anic values and contemporary welfare theory can provide a viable pathway toward a more just and prosperous Indonesian society.

Abstract

Indonesia is facing a rapid demographic transition as its elderly population continues to rise, posing new challenges for social and health policy. Family support is widely recognized as a crucial factor in elderly well-being, but there is limited empirical evidence from local Indonesian contexts, particularly in rural areas such as Balung District, Jember. This study aims to examine the influence of family support on the welfare of elderly individuals in Balung District, Jember, and to determine how much variance in elderly welfare can be explained by family support. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed. Data were collected from 70 respondents—35 elderly people and 35 family caregivers—using purposive sampling. Validated and reliable instruments measured family support and elderly welfare. Pearson correlation and simple linear regression analyses were conducted using JASP software. The findings reveal a strong positive relationship between family support and elderly welfare (r = 0.688, p < 0.001). Family support accounted for 47.4% of the variance in elderly welfare. The analysis confirms that higher levels of family support are significantly associated with improved well-being among the elderly. Family support is a key determinant of elderly welfare in Balung District, Jember. Programs and policies that empower and educate families, enhance community resources, and strengthen family-based care systems are essential for improving the quality of life of Indonesia’s aging population. Future research should explore additional factors influencing elderly welfare and adopt mixed-methods approaches for a more comprehensive understanding.

Abstract

This study examines how Muslim families manage parenting in the prostitution-affected area of Samas Beach, Yogyakarta, where social and economic risks shape everyday life. Using a qualitative case study design, the research draws on in-depth interviews and participant observation with four families living in this unique context. The results reveal a spectrum of parenting strategies, from structured routines and active communication to more permissive patterns influenced by limited resources and parental absence. Parental backgrounds, especially experiences with past risk and hardship, often led parents to become more protective and intentional in raising their children. Economic pressures and irregular work schedules contributed to increased reliance on older siblings and less consistent daily supervision. Religious knowledge and community involvement sometimes supported families in guiding their children’s behavior, but could also present challenges when routines were disrupted. The findings highlight that parenting in a prostitution-affected environment requires ongoing adaptation and negotiation. These insights point to the importance of context-sensitive support systems for strengthening resilience among children and parents living in similar high-risk communities.

Abstract

The escalating incidence of cybercrime in Indonesia has rendered older adults (lansia) one of the most vulnerable populations, primarily due to limited digital literacy and a lack of awareness regarding threats such as hoaks, identity theft, and online fraud. This study analyzes strategies for empowering older adults in digital security, focusing on the implementation of the Tular Nalar program by Mafindo in Aceh Besar District. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and analyzed using Laverack’s community empowerment framework. The findings indicate that the program fostered active participation, expanded access to information, and strengthened social ties among participants. Facilitators played a crucial role in contextualizing digital security risks based on the lived experiences and local values of the lansia. However, the empowerment process has not yet resulted in collective autonomy, as participants remain reliant on facilitators and have not formed self-sustaining community structures. Disparities in digital literacy, expectations of incentives, and structural barriers further constrain the realization of community-driven empowerment. These results highlight that digital empowerment for older adults is not merely about increasing literacy, but is a complex social process rooted in local structures, cultural values, and community power dynamics. The application of Laverack’s model in this context underscores the need to integrate cultural values and locally grounded approaches into the design of sustainable empowerment strategies for older adults, while also addressing the persistent challenge of achieving community autonomy.

Abstract

This article examines the symbolic transformation and cultural Islamization of the Kembar Mayang ritual among the Javanese diaspora community in Aek Hitetoras, North Sumatra. Drawing on a qualitative case study approach, the research is grounded in the anthropology of religion and based on in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of documentary materials. Findings reveal that Kembar Mayang, once rooted in ancestral cosmology and mystical practice, has been reinterpreted through deliberate negotiation and adaptation. Traditional elements such as offerings and incantations have largely been replaced by Islamic prayers and Qur’anic recitation, reflecting the community’s commitment to religious orthodoxy while sustaining collective identity and social cohesion. The adaptation process has been incremental and dialogical, involving pragmatic adjustments in ritual materials and the creative use of digital media for documentation and intergenerational transmission. Contestation between cultural and religious perspectives has generated both tension and innovation, ultimately enabling the ritual to endure as a meaningful expression of gratitude, harmony, and heritage. The study contributes to broader debates in the anthropology of religion and diaspora studies, illustrating how local traditions are dynamically negotiated and renewed through cultural ijtihad, recontextualization, and digital innovation. Practical implications highlight the importance of inclusive dialogue, intergenerational education, and flexible preservation strategies for sustaining tradition within plural and rapidly changing societies.

Abstract

Sayyid Qutb’s tafsir, particularly Fi Zilal al-Qur’an, presents a framework of social ethics grounded in tawhid, positioning it as both a spiritual principle and a basis for confronting structural oppression. His analysis of the Qur’anic concepts of mala’ (elite classes) and mustad’afin (the oppressed) offers a critical entry point for understanding class struggle within Islamic thought. This study aims to contextualize Qutb’s discourse on mala’ and mustad’afin by engaging Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, with the goal of constructing a Qur’an-based model of counter-hegemony that responds to contemporary social inequality. Using a qualitative textual approach, the study analyzes key Makkiyah verses interpreted by Qutb through the al-adabi al-ijtima’i method. These interpretations are then integrated with Gramsci’s concepts of ideological control, organic intellectuals, and war of position to assess their relevance in modern social contexts. The findings show that Qutb’s tafsir aligns with Gramscian critical theory in viewing structural inequality as maintained through cultural and ideological mechanisms. The mustad’afin are positioned as morally empowered actors, capable of resisting hegemony through ethical leadership, ideological education, and faith-based collective action. This study affirms that the integration of Qutb’s tafsir with Gramscian analysis offers a socially engaged Qur’anic hermeneutic. It demonstrates the potential of Islamic thought to address systemic injustice through a praxis-oriented framework grounded in divine justice, ethical redistribution, and spiritual resistance.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of religious values as a form of social capital in supporting the resilience of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kediri City, Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with eight MSME owners who managed to maintain their businesses throughout the crisis. The findings reveal that religious experiences and beliefs foster resilience and adaptability by encouraging persistence, community engagement, and mutual support. MSME owners relied on religious communities not only for spiritual guidance but also as practical networks for business adaptation. This study highlights the importance of integrating religious values into the conceptualization of social capital, suggesting that faith-based networks provide both psychological and material resources for business survival in times of crisis. The research offers new insights for policymakers and practitioners aiming to enhance MSME resilience through community-based and religiously-informed approaches.

Abstract

Traditional religious-economic institutions face increasing pressure from modernization and globalization, yet their persistence continues to complicate classical secularization theories. Mawah, a centuries-old Islamic profit-sharing system in Aceh, provides an important case for examining how religion remains embedded in economic life. This study analyzes mawah as both a religious and economic institution through Durkheim's functionalist theory, focusing on its persistence, transformation, and contemporary relevance as an Islamic economic alternative. This study employed a qualitative case study design with ethnographic elements, conducted in Pidie Jaya and Aceh Besar districts. Data were collected through focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews, and direct observations, complemented by recent scholarly literature. Analysis combined inductive coding with Durkheim’s concepts of solidarity, ritual, and collective effervescence, alongside Islamic jurisprudential principles such as al-adah muhakkamah (custom as a source of law). This study found that mawah persists as a post-secular institution through selective adaptation. Agricultural practices demonstrate rationalization tendencies, often resembling contractual arrangements, yet still operate within Islamic ethical frameworks of justice, trust, and collective welfare. By contrast, livestock-based mawah retains strong ritual dimensions through communal prayers, shared meals, and religious mediation, exemplifying collective effervescence. Trust networks rooted in religious authority and community membership remain central, providing moral legitimacy that purely instrumental arrangements cannot offer. This study contributes to sociology of religion by showing that religious institutions adapt through differential secularization rather than uniform decline. For policymakers, mawah illustrates how culturally grounded Islamic economic institutions can strengthen local development strategies while preserving social solidarity and religious authenticity.
