Abstract

This article examines the significant role of the Azharites (Al-Azhar alumni) in reshaping Islamic knowledge alongside the transformation of urban religious learning in Banda Aceh over the past two decades. The study highlights their contributions to disseminating Islamic knowledge through platforms like the Middle East Alumni Association (Ikatan Alumni Timur Tengah—IKAT), advanced reading communities, mosques, coffee shops, and mass/social media. They have facilitated public learning in classical Islamic knowledge, such as tafsīr, taḥsin al-Qur’an, ḥadīth, fiqh, uṣūl al-fiqh, ʿaqīdah, sīrah, and mawārith by introducing not only basic and intermediate but also advanced religious texts. Furthermore, the Azharites have promoted also Wasaṭism (wasaṭiyyah, moderation) in the understanding of Islam, rooted in Shafi'ite-Ash'arite traditions, while incorporating texts from other madhhabs, such as the Hanafite, Hanbalite, and Malikite schools, in comparative way. Their approach distinguishes them from both the strict madhhabism and the anti-madhhabism of Salafi-Wahhabism and radical Islamism. The study concludes that the Azharites have contributed to the discursive democratization and reform, which have resulted in the reshaping of Islamic knowledge in Banda Aceh—and Aceh province in general—and the moderation of madhhabism, by introducing Wasaṭism and fostering alternative urban religious learning.

Abstract

The transition of State Islamic Colleges (IAIN/STAIN) to State Islamic Universities (UIN) marks a fundamental shift in the institutional structure and epistemology of Islamic higher education in Indonesia. This article critically investigates the new form of UIN following the transformation era, which successfully integrated Islamic sciences with modern disciplines. Institutional transformation and the development of Islamic thought through an integrative, academic, and contextual paradigm have contributed to this successful transition. This reflects how UIN transformation has become more accommodative and inclusive, with deliberate efforts to integrate various fields of religious and modern sciences. This research is based on a qualitative study using document analysis, expert interviews, and focus group discussions. The article also traces the early dynamics of academic Islamic studies, the emergence of the conversion project, and examines its evolution in the current post-reform era. It argues that significant institutional dynamics and epistemological shifts have revived the academic and critical paradigm of Islamic sciences. Thus, UIN has emerged as a center for multidisciplinary Islamic intellectual currents that are responsive to humanitarian issues and global Islamic academic discourse.

Abstract

Political polarization has occurred in Pesantren in the 1999 election, where the kiais involved various political parties. This study aims to examine the politics of the pesantren Annuqayah in Madura and analyze the contribution of it in political democratization and civil society. Although the kiais have different political affiliations, the relationships among kiais, santris, and alumni remain harmonious without open conflict. This phenomenon is crucial to study because it demonstrates the pesantren’s role in fostering healthy and constructive political awareness in society. This article is based on a field study employing a qualitative approach, drawing on the perspectives of social capital and phenomenology. The results show that political democratization in the pesantren is built on respect for the moral authority of kiais, the practice of citizenship values based on the principles of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah (aswaja), and the strengthening of the tradition of "silaturahim" among kiais, alumni, and the community. These values serve as the foundation for forming an inclusive, religious, and democratic civil society at the local level.

Abstract

The correlation between religiosity and nationalism has been a paramount issue, particularly in Muslim-majority countries such as Indonesia. Maintaining the spirits of Islam and Indonesia is an arduous effort for young people. This article is based on research into the perceptions and practices of Gen Z Muslims in two prominent tourist islands, Bali and Lombok. The study employed a mixed-method approach, collecting data through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions with young Muslim activists. The study demonstrates the high level of religiosity and nationalism among young Muslims and a positive correlation between these two values. Religiosity and nationalism support and reinforce each other. Gen Z's vision of Indonesia's future also shows synergistic ideas of religiosity and nationalism. Therefore, excessive apprehension about a clash between religiosity and nationalism is futile. However, continuous efforts to maintain a balanced spirit of religiosity and nationalism are imperative to prevent extreme religious nationalism, which hampers the development of democracy.

Abstract

Education plays a pivotal role in shaping intellectual and moral character, particularly in addressing the challenges of globalization and technological advancement. In Indonesia, integrating Islamic values and local wisdom into education is essential to nurturing students with strong character and cultural awareness. This study aims to analyze the integration of Islamic values and local wisdom in science courses at higher education institutions in Lombok, and their influence on character development among prospective educators. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 505 first-semester students through a Likert-scale questionnaire. Statistical analysis revealed high construct validity and reliability, with Composite Reliability values exceeding 0.7 and AVE values above 0.5. The findings indicate that the integration of Islamic values and local wisdom significantly influences character development, supported by strong model predictive power (R² = 0.782 for X3; R² = 0.777 for Y). The novelty of this research lies in its interdisciplinary framework that integrates Islamic norms and cultural heritage into science education, challenging traditional views of science as value-neutral. The study recommends systematically incorporating these values into science curricula and conducting longitudinal studies to assess their long-term impact on students’ character formation and academic competencies.

Abstract

Pesantren has a significant influence on the development of santris’ personality and cultural tolerance. However, the flow of globalization through digital media and the influence of foreign cultures shake santris' preferences and threatened local wisdom. This paper aims to analyze the integration between local policies in halaqah knowledge acquisition and its advancement of the cultural tolerance of santri. With an interpretive research paradigm, this study employs the case study method and focuses on several Pesantrens in Benua Etam, East Kalimantan. The data were obtained through interviews with informants, including pesantren leaders, ustadz, and santri and observations, and documentation. Validation techniques include source triangulation, member checking, trail auditing, and peer debriefing. This study reveals that the incorporation of indigenous knowledge within the framework of halaqah was a significant factor in the study's outcomes, significantly increasing the tolerance of santris, as reflected by a 50.92% increase in participation in local traditions and higher acceptance of cultural diversity. Santri who follow culture-based halaqahs demonstrate openness, recognition of community traditions, and the ability to bridge cultural differences without compromising Islamic principles. This study concludes that the culturally based halaqah model is effective in maintaining an inclusive Islamic identity while facing the challenges of globalization.

Abstract

This paper investigates the Lapindo disaster in East Java that affected religious and social changes over the past two decades. Tens of thousands affected community living in the periphery of urban areas have coped with land disputes. However, religion plays an important role in fostering resilient communities. Instead of medical clinics or hospitals, new worship buildings increased in the Lapindo area. This study demonstrates that the Lapindo case is an example of environmental violence by examining critical analysis on anthropocentrism. Anthropocentrism is derived from scripture, describing humans as the most superior beings. Ecofeminism theory of Islamic perspective is critical instrument to analyze environmental violence. In addition, this research includes the concept of religious moderation that denies environmental perspectives. Given the complex issues of environmental issues in the Indonesian context, religious moderation is merely viewed as a matter of interfaith dialogue on tolerance project, yet ignoring environmental trajectory as part of religious moderation campaign. However, it has rarely been viewed as a bridge to solving social problems, such as environmental crises. The research fingding shows the rise of economic-based social crime, gender-based violence, women and children traficking, as well as poverty.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of religious moderation values in Islamic religious higher education in Garut, West Java. The primary focus of the research includes the integration of religious moderation values in the curriculum, the role of lecturers and education staff, student perceptions, as well as obstacles and challenges in implementing these values. Through a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis at several institutions, including STAI Musadaddiyah, STAI Muhammadiyah Garut, and STAI Siliwangi Garut. The results show that religious moderation is integrated through an Aswaja-based curriculum approach and rahmatan lil 'alamin, with lecturers and education personnel playing the role of facilitators in building tolerant and inclusive student characters. The main obstacles come from the influence of conservative ideologies, limited religious understanding among students, and challenges from social media. Strategies to overcome these obstacles include strengthening the curriculum, digital literacy training, and collaboration with external institutions. The findings are expected to make a positive contribution to the formation of a moderate generation that can apply the values of tolerance and inclusiveness in religious and social life.

Abstract

Kazakhstan, after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the acquisition of independence, chose a secular path in religion after seventy years of atheism. The state adopted a secular direction, but society, consisting of a Muslim-majority population, began a natural process of cultural revival – language, history, religion, and traditions – restoring religious values. Islamic education became a way of religious revival, based not only on Islam but also on local culture and Kazakhstan’s policy on religion. Higher Islamic education in Kazakhstan became part of bachelor’s, Master’s, and doctoral programs (PhD) in Islamic studies. This article examines the formation and development of higher Islamic education in Kazakhstan through the example of the only Islamic university. Quantitative and qualitative indicators from the analysis of the educational program, showing a balance between Islamic, secular, and Kazakh culture-related disciplines, emphasize the possibility of development in this direction, adhering to Islam, secularism, and culture.

Abstract

This research explores the commodification of the Prophetic tradition (hadiths) regarding umrah as a marketing strategy employed by hajj and umrah travel agencies on Instagram in South Sulawesi and uncovers the patterns of commodification and the integration of authoritative religious figures. This qualitative study analyzes the contents of Instagram posts from travel agencies with over 2,000 followers registered by the Ministry of Religion. The study applies Pattana Kitiarsa's commodification theory and the Theory of Reasoned Action to analyze how religious messages are adapted to serve marketing objectives. The findings reveal three primary patterns of hadith commodification: leveraging authoritative figures to enhance credibility, interpretating hadiths to align with marketing goals, and maximalizing inspirational messages to attract customers. These strategies align with Reasoned Action Theory, highlighting perceived benefits and social influence in consumer decision-making. This study offers a unique contribution by focusing on the commodification of sacred texts in the digital marketing realm, particularly in Indonesia's Islamic travel sector. The implications underscore the importance of establishing ethical guidelines for integrating religious content into marketing, while also providing marketers with valuable insights into responsibly engaging with religious audiences.
