Abstract

There has been intense debate over whether local practices and social engagement effectively contribute to da’wah and participatory community development. Referring to the study of a Puspakarma manuscript from Lombok, coded Gallery-50B Ciputat, the paper sheds light on the local socio-religious values that form the collective memory of Muslim Sasak communities on the island. It further argues that these values offer potential for participatory socio-religious development. The broader context of Sasak culture, as evident in the nineteenth-century Puspakarma text, provides a wider umbrella for the interpretation of elements of the manuscript’s content and message. Data analysis employs Mead’s Symbolic Interactionalism using a person-in-environment model from the perspective of Islamic Community Development. The main findings of the study are that the collective memory of ethnic Sasak Muslims recognizes the supreme being, God, and cooperative social interactions as key to community harmony, just as respect for the ancestors and nature also ensures happiness. All of these views influence community well-being. Furthermore, the author’s analysis demonstrates that each of these components found in the Sasak environment shapes the growth and development of the individual and their worldviews. This research offers fresh insight into how local development may contribute to closing the gap between cross-cultural policy and practice in Lombok and elsewhere.

Abstract

Dhaka’s landscape is adorned with centuries-old mosques and shrines, a testament to the enduring legacy of Sufi mystics who propagated Islam in the region. Sufis, Islamic mystics, played a pivotal role in establishing Islam in Bengal. This study delves into the arrival, motivations, and practices of these Sufi figures within Dhaka, Bangladesh. By examining biographies and historical records, it explores how Sufis, through their exemplary character, compassionate outreach, and establishment of social institutions like khankahs and dargahs, profoundly influenced the spread of Islam. Even in the face of persecution, the Sufis’ dedication laid the foundation for a new social order, shaping the region’s religious landscape for centuries. Their willingness to engage with Hindu and Buddhist communities on social and spiritual matters fostered a peaceful acceptance of Islam, leading to a significant shift in the region’s religious makeup. By examining Sufi activities, this research sheds light on the historical processes that shaped Dhaka’s religious identity and offer valuable insights for understanding Islamic propagation dynamics.

Abstract

During the last couple of years, Gen Z youths born between 1997 and 2010 have been actively involved in various social communities promoting a particular understanding of Islam, such as volunteers, frontline activists, or organizers. This article explores their socio-religious activism in Solo and their understanding of Islam. It delves into religious and social piety in their da‘wah (proselytization). We found out that the majority of this generation does not understand the meaning of moderate Islam properly. However, their perspectives and attitudes do not oppose differences. Most of them obtain their religious sources from social media and the Internet. Only a few of them, due to their lack of knowledge of Islamic teachings and limited encounters with non-Muslims, have a hateful attitude towards people of other religions. Meanwhile, they have an excessive defense of Islam. This study confirms Pattana Kitiarsa’s idea that religion has been commodified as a spiritual market where Muslims can select products symbolically associated with Islam.

Abstract

This research departs from the conflict between Jabiri's fragmented geo-epistemology and his antipathy towards ‘irfānī epistemology, vis a vis the character and style of Indonesian Islamic reasoning. The strong influence of Jabiri's thoughts in this country makes it important to answer the question of the development of the discourse on the criticism of Arab Islamic reasoning, how Indonesian figures absorb his thoughts, and how to develop them in the future. Using the qualitative method and an Islamic philosophical approach, this research comes to the following conclusions: first, Jabiri's fragmented geo-epistemology is not consistent with its initial holistic vision, is stuck in a selective attitude, fails to appreciate Eastern Islamic culture, and rests on assumptions of rationality that lack depth. Second, Jabiri's influence in Indonesian Islamic discourse has not made local figures adhere to a fragmented epistemology, nor have they become antipathetic towards ‘irfānī reasoning. Third, the development of integrative epistemology and 'irfānī epistemology in Indonesian Islamic reasoning can be enriched with a foothold on Neo-Sadra philosophical models. All data in this study were collected using library research methods.

Abstract

Sufism, beyond being a philosophical discipline, is a way of life to enhance individual and societal existence. The concrete product of the intellectual and spiritual effort shown in Sufism has often emerged in poetry or prose. This study examines a Sufi manuscript as a form of Sufi legacy that significantly influenced the Muslim Albanian community in Ottoman territories. The focus is on the treatise "House of God," featuring prose texts by ʿAbd al-Mālik Ḥilmī, included in his collection of Sufi treatises known as ‘Risalet’. The study explores the general characteristics of Sufi texts, particularly those preserved in Kosovo's tekkes. Through field research, interviews, and literature review, data on ʿAbd al-Mālik Ḥilmī 's life and works were compiled. It was found that manuscript works of some authors remain under-researched. The treatise is analyzed linguistically, highlighting the author's didactic style and word choices. Sufi terms used in the text were extracted and classified according to their usage in contemporary Albanian standards. The author's efforts toward the vernacularization of Sufi terms demonstrate his belief in conveying Sufi thought in the local language. Based on references in the anthology text, assumptions about ʿAbd al-Mālik Ḥilmī 's Sufi thought are presented. Sample passages from Hilmi's work in Albanian are translated into English.

Abstract

Islamic education in Indonesia is currently in the spotlight due to rivalries among Islamic groups that have turned educational institutions into battlegrounds. This study aimed to identify the process of spreading religious ideology in educational institutions, analyze its educational aspects, and explore the implications of competition among religious groups. This study employed a qualitative approach with phenomenological and sociological research designs. The data sources were collected from school administrators, teachers, students, and stakeholders. In-depth interviews, observation, and documentation were used to gather data in three different locations: Aceh, West Sumatra, and Yogyakarta. The results show that educational institutions spread religious ideology through classroom learning activities, subjects, and books. In addition, the spread of ideology also occurs through religious rituals, extracurricular activities, school policies, and culture. The spread of ideology has implications for the emergence of diverse religious understandings in students and different religious identities between groups. It creates a depth of ideological differences in society. Ideological rivalry in Islamic education in Indonesia is a significant challenge that needs to be addressed to ensure quality education that supports the holistic development of individuals and society.

Abstract

This article discusses the teaching of the seven stages (martabat tujuh) in the 18th century, which had previously developed and became controversial in the Nusantara region since the 17th century. The seven stages are a central topic in philosophical Sufi teachings. The article's primary focus is the response of Muḥammad Zain ibn Faqīh Jalāluddīn al-Āsyī (d. 1783 CE), as articulated in his translation and commentary on the book Umm al-Barāhīn. Although the book he translated and commented on pertains to creed (aqīdah), he interjected his views regarding the seven stages. Using the socio-intellectual and historical approach, this study illustrates how Muḥammad Zain established the Sunni-Ash'ārī creed. The doctrine of the seven stages is complex, and finding competent scholars to explain it is challenging. However, Muḥammad Zain cautiously evaluates the proponents of the doctrine of the unity of existence, which forms the basis of the seven stages, such as Ibn Arabī and ‘Abd Karīm al-Jīlī. He even sharply criticizes those who mislead figures like Ibrāhim al-Kurānī, Aḥmad al-Qushāshī, and ‘Abdurraūf al-Fansūrī. Muḥammad Zain's views also reflect the dominance of the Sunni-Ash'ari creed, indirectly impacting the decline of philosophical Sufi trends in Aceh, particularly and in the Malay territory generally.

Abstract

This research discusses the influence of the Sufi interpretation of the Qur'an in shaping cultural narratives and political discourses in Muslim society. This study addresses the under-explored influence of Sufism beyond its spiritual domain, specifically in cultural and political spheres. This study aims to fill this void by exploring how the Sufi interpretation of the Qur'an influences contemporary cultural identity and political dynamics. The methods used in this study are multidisciplinary approaches, including analysis of Sufi literature, art, and social practices. The study's findings suggest that Sufism has a significant role in shaping cultural narratives, promoting tolerance and social justice, and providing a framework of thought that influences political discourse in Muslim communities. This study recommends that future studies focus more on Sufism's contribution to Islamic political thought and its relevance in the modern context. This research also emphasizes the importance of considering the spiritual dimension in analyzing cultural and political phenomena to understand the role of religion in shaping the social and political landscape more comprehensively.

Abstract

This scholarly investigation aims to elucidate and evaluate the manifestations of social Sufism, employing the framework of Social Representation Theory (SRT) in conjunction with the Quranic context. The analysis centers on Surah Al-Ma'idah:2, which is essential for comprehending the fundamental tenets of faith and ethical considerations in Islamic discourse. Adopting a qualitative descriptive research methodology, the inquiry undertakes an empirical investigation in Malang Regency, which is distinguished for its significant contribution to the social stuff of East Java, which is characterized by a profound cultural and traditional heritage. Findings indicate that the practices of social Sufism in Malang Regency are profoundly influenced by the exegetical understanding of Quranic Surah Al-Ma'idah:2. This research enriches the existing literature on Social Sufism, mainly through the interpretive lens of the al-Qur'an, providing an in-depth examination of the variables that contribute to character development and social identity within the frameworks of social Sufism studies. Moreover, the outcomes illuminate the quintessence of reality, revealing how individual behaviors are shaped by experiences aimed at attaining happiness and their ramifications on the social attributes of the Madurese-Santri community.

Abstract

This article examines Salafi da'wah (Islamic proselytizing) movements on private TV stations at the national level. The proliferation of da'wah on private TV in post-Suharto regimes is considered part of the increasing commodification of Islam, which targets middle-class Muslims as a market for economic benefits. The routine appearances of these preachers have shaped alternative religious authority that challenges and competes with the conventional ones from Islamic organizations such as Nahdlatul Ulama or Muhammadiyah and Islamic education institutions such as pesantren or Islamic universities. Since 2010, Salafi da'wah has challenged this by providing da'wah contents that focus on educating Muslims to be more pious. Drawing from participatory observation and in-depth interviews with program producers and other related parties, this article strives to answer how the Salafi da'wah movement attempts to dominate the Islamic public sphere in the country and face competition with other religious authorities through da'wah programs on TV. It is argued that the emergence of the Salafi authority through the da'wah program on TV has challenged the dominance of mainstream da'wah of Nahdlatul Ulama or Muhammadiyah in the Indonesian public sphere.
