Abstract

One of the problems that disturb the harmony between religious communities is a lack of understanding of the majority (mainstream) religion about the local religion, and vice versa. This article aims to develop such inter-religious understanding by comparing between Islam and the religion of Adam, a local religion of Samin community. The comparative study was made within the scope of the concept of God in both religions. This study found that the understanding between Islam the religion of Adam about the concept of God is essential in common. God called Allah (in Islam) and Yai (in the religion of Adam) are equally perceived as condescendent, an only single power, and the Almighty. Both communities also share Adam as the first man in the world. So, it is not proportional if the public ridicule Samin community with atheist stigma.

Abstract

The relationship between Hindu and Muslim communities in Bali has been recorded in the long trajectory of history of both communities. As a human relationship, the relationship sometimes becomes strength, but at the other hand, as the adherents of different religions, it becomes challenge to them. The challenge is how the Muslim community in Bali can respect and honor Hindu religious traditions, and how the Hindu community can do the same to the Muslim community. The article aims to elaborate further about it. The author presents three cases as examples of how Muslims practice their religion in Bali context. Tolerance is the key word how to mingle in the social, moral principles, religious law and social ethics.

Abstract

Molondhalo is one of the traditions preserved by the Muslim community of Gorontalo. This tradition concerns “touching” the stomach of a pregnant woman at the seventh month of the pregnancy. In Javanese community, this tradition is called Mitoni, in Acehnese Peusijuek, in Sundanese Tingkeban, and in Balinese community magedong-gedongan. Within the Molondhalo ritual, there are cultural attributes, and recital of safety prayer (ngadisalawati) with a set of hulante and polutube. Some of these molondalo traditional practices gain critics from the outsider, i.e. puritan Muslims, because such a ritual practice exposes the awrat (part of the bodies that should be covered) and is said to have been infuenced by Hinduism. This article is not intended to merely address those challenges, but also to show some of the theological arguments of this custom/tradition based on the interpretation of the philosophy of the Gorontalonese community: “Adati hula-hulaa to sara’a, sara’a hula-hulaa to qur’ani” (Custom is based on shari’a, shari’a is based on the Qur’an).

Abstract

This research conceptually aims to find out the strategy the Shia community in Sidoarjo, East Java, and Ahmadiyya community in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara, have employed to defend themselves from the pressure of the state and Sunni Muslim as majority group due to the differences in textual interpretation toward Islamic Holy Scriptures (The Qur’an). The theoretical implication from this study is to evaluate and criticize social resilience concept which refers to developmentalistic perspectives such as the use of social capital. In this article, social resilience is closely related to strategy of minorities to establish a tolerant multi religious community. This study argues that social resilience of religious minority groups, i.e. Shia in Sidoarjo and Ahmadiyya in Mataram, is formed by various aspects, such as the government policies on religious life, history of group formation, social relations and network, understanding towards religious values and spirituality, and cultural bonds in the community.

Abstract

Indonesia's plural society requires the formulation and relationships of life that are not taken for granted, but must be inclusive, progressive and pluralistic. If there is no scientific paradigm with its plural character, then there will be attitude that tends to be repressive or al-taṭarruf (extreme). The repressive act or the imposition of theological understanding will lead to destruction or conflict. Therefore, this study is formulated as: How paradigm of Islamic theology study can be built in accordance with the interests of its era? How to build a pattern of ideal relationship between the religions in a plural country like Indonesia? Results of this study is that the approach of Islamic theology study will be able to encourage the emergence of paradigm of Islamic study and paradigm on pattern of inter-religion relationship to build paradigm of plural Islamic theology, patterns of relationships and sincere inter-religion cooperation, namely de jure pluralism (being religious), not as de facto pluralism (having religious).

Abstract

This essay elucidates the idea of religious pluralism of Abdurrahman Wahid (1940-2009), a very important figure in the tradition of Indonesian Islam. Wahis’s ideas of religious pluralism is based on what the so-called “Depth Islam” (DI). DI is different from the usual theological dogmas that only contains concepts and structures. DI is not a literal and superficial forms of religion. It is an understanding that goes beyond the literal texts to look for the principles and spirit of religion in appreciating humanity, diversity and peace. DI may have arisen because of the long process of religious internalization within Wahid experiences, but it is also a hybrid form, i.e., it is a result of the process of encountering or learning Wahid’s traditions inter-mingling with cultures of the wider world.

Abstract

This article seeks to examine the theology of tolerance as the basis for interreligious and harmonious co-existence between Muslims and Hindus in Lombok. Lombok is known as the island of thousand mosques where majestic mosques scatter throughout the island. But Lombok is also a home for Hindus. The interactions between them have been very dynamics, creating integration, acculturation, adaptation, accommodation while sometimes also triggering tension. This article argues that theology occupies important aspects in both Hindu and Muslim daily live and thus can be employed as the solid basis of interreligious relations between them. From the Islamic perspective, there are a number of Qur’anic verse injuctions for tolerance. Hindus are also required to maintain tolerant attitude towards other religions as this is commanded in the Veda. These theological grounds will strengthen from the faith point of view Hindu-Muslim social cohesion, which has so far been realized though various means, such as music, arts and religious festivals.

Abstract

The status of the Qur'an as the verbatim words of God has become undisputed belief among Muslims. However, beyond the agreement on this fundamental doctrine, they differed from interpreting the nature of "the Qur’an" whether it is eternal and co-existent with God or created by God like other beings in this world? Throughout Islamic history, there are at least two major trends in interpreting the nature of the Qur’an as God words, i.e. scholars who believe in the eternity of the Qur’an and those who believe in the createdness of the Qur’an. A number of Muslim thinkers since three decades ago have adopted the concept of the createdness of the Qur’an to support their methodological principles developed in interpreting the Qur’an. This paper will explore further the origin of the doctrine of eternity and the createdness of the Qur’an, the debate on this issue in classical and contemporary Islamic thoughts and its methodological implications on the interpretation of the Holy Scripture.

Al-Qāḍī ‘Abd Al-Jabbār’s View on Khalq Al-Qur’ān: Study of the Book Al-Mugnī fī Abwāb Al-Tawḥīd wa Al-‘Adl Ibnu Rusdi

Abstract

In the Islamic doctrine, the Qur’an is divine and sacred. Although majority Muslims believe that the Qur’an is revealed divine words, they dispute over the sacredness of the Qur’an. One emerging central question is whether the Qur’an is created (jadīd) or not (qadīm). One Muslim sect that considers the Qur’an as creature is Mu’tazila, that used to be adopted as the state theological school during the Abbasid period, especially under al-Ma’mūn. This articles discusses the notion of khalq al-Qur’ān (the creatdeness of the Qur’an) advanced by Mu‘tazila scholar al-Qāḍi ‘Abd al-Jabbār in his work al-Mugnī fī Abwāb al-Tawḥīd Wa al-‘Adl. In general, al-Jabbār’s view reflects his school’s view on the Qur’an. When advancing his opinion that the Qur’an is created, he means to purify the concept of Oneness (tawḥīd) of God. Because al-Jabbār perceives only God is qadīm, and He is the only uncreated, other than Him must be created, including the Qur’an since it consists of letters and consonants.

Abstract

This study aims to elucidate Nusantara Islam and finds the concept of oneness of God within the Sasak Muslim traditions as analytical tool to understand Nusantara Islam in the local context of Lombok. God is only one, but ways of finding “The One” vary. Islamic teachings manifest in local traditions are termed Nusantara Islam. In this study, Nusantara Islam is analyzed theoretically and practically regarding Sasak Muslim traditions. This study uses a qualitative approach and employs the interpretive paradigm and Theo-anthropological perspective. This study shows that Nusantara Islam in Lombok can be observed through various religious concepts, practices and rituals, such as mulut (the celebration of Prophet’s birthday), maleman (last ten days of fasting Ramadan month) and rowah (sending prayer to the dead). Tawḥīd or the notion of One God lies behind these traditions. Tawḥīd is more than just the notion of oneness of God; it is a worldview manifesting not only in spiritual domains but also in socio-cultural spheres. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.20414/ujis.v19i2.334
