Abstract

This paper attempts to explore the phenomenon of Islamic propagation (dakwah) on the Internet known as "e-dakwah." It problematizes the authority of religious messages within cyberspace vis a vis Internet’s anonymity. This 'cyber ethnographic' research shows that people in cyberscape are concerned more with the messages than their authors. This study confirms the autonomic truth of the messages as it is supported by Imam ‘Alī bin Abī Ṭālib’s popular argument “listen to what has been said, not who has said that." Consequently, the truth and acceptance of it in the dakwah activities or messages within cyberspace does not depend on the preachers (dā‘ī) and their professional capacity and intellectual knowledge, but on the object of dakwah (mad‘ū). This paper proposes the term “The death of the da’i,” which is adapted from Roland Barthes' term “The death of the author” in his image-music-text, to discuss the phenomenon.

Abstract

This paper discusses the complex implementation of an ideal framework for governing religion in Indonesia and France. Every country is required to apply a balanced approach to protect internal interests on one hand and adapting to the world’s values on the other. In practice, however, it is never possible to achieve such an approach perfectly. By investigating the existing rules on religion and civil rights in Indonesia and France, this paper argues that minority groups in both countries have not been treated justly with respect to their religion. Using the case of Ahmadis in Indonesia and Muslims in France, the paper explains how both countries face formidable challenges in maintaining the balance between an internal policy of harmony and peace, and securing civic rights in accordance with international values. In sum, France and Indonesia share a similar dilemma in attempting to ensure that religious and civil rights are neutral and objective for all people. In such matters, limitations are unavoidable.

Abstract

In the context of social dynamics and world ideologies contestation that bring social implications, efforts to reconstruct and to revitalize the sharia’s concepts are always be needed. The efforts are aimed at making the sharia remain to be relevant to the needs of. modern societies and to take significant roles in transformation of both individual life and social order. Generally, such a ‘project’ consist of very efforts of reorientation of fiqh visions, reactualizing its methodology, focusing its substance, strengthening the existing social institutions, and developing various new social institutions that are needed as field of small experimentation that will be improved and applied in wider scales in the future. Through the ‘project’ it is hoped that the Islamic law should be simpler but more comprehensive and argumentative. The sharia “face” that up till now seems to be static, conservative, and pro status quo will change to be more alive, innovative, and future-vissioned.

Abstract

Spiritual tourism is not a new phenomenon. It has been studied from tourism perspectives. However, when the tourism became a global trend of religious expression, the perspective of the sociology of religion get its place. In Indonesia, although Muslims perform hajj, visiting and praying in famous cemeteries (ziyāra), and umrah are also included into this trip. Spiritual tourism at the same time has affected and has been affected by religious views, including the understanding of what is referred to as Sunna. This condition has enfolded how umrah is performed as a social trend today. By looking at the concept of spiritual tourism from sociological perspective, this paper further utilizes umrah and hajj travel agencies’ angle in seeing of what is so called Sunna, and how it has influenced the performance of umrah. The study demonstrates the important role of travel agencies in forming a strategy to attract pilgrims by two steps: by binding umrah as a recreation/travel and placing it as a modern distinctive way of worship.

Abstract

One example of the living Qur’an and hadith are found in South Borneo. Living Qur’an and hadith refers to various ways in which this scriptures are practiced in Muslim daily live. In South Borneo, this deals with the phenomenon of memorizing the Qur’an as a bride-price (jujuran) for marriage among the Banjarese people. This tradition has been practiced for various reasons. Using phenomenological method, this study records the views of the people peforming this tradition and attempts to explain its practice and meaning. This study reveals that jujuran is an acculturation of the Qur’an with the local tradition. The people believe in the power of the Qur’an and make this to bless their important life cycle, such as marriage. The jujuran reflects various reasons, ranging from groom’s seriousness to memorize the Qur’an and to marry and the best award for brides. However, most do not know the authoritative tradition from the Prophet regarding the bride-price of memorizing the Qur’an but are inspired by popular literature and novel that contain stories of the Qur’an as bride-price.

Abstract

Muslim feminist hermeneutical methods to the Qur’an is a response to the conservative interpretations which hegemonizes knowledge construction to shape the tradition and the methodology of the patriarchal reading of the texts. This approach demonstrates that the Qur’an is compatible with modernity and supports gender equality. This article explores one of the leading Muslim feminisit scholar, Amina Wadud, and examines her Qur’an feminist hermeneutical method. Amina Wadud is a Muslim feminist who proposes feminist hermeneutical method to interpret the Qur’an which she called ‘tawhidic paradigm.’ This article shows that Wadud’s hermeneutical approach interrogates the patriarchal reading of the Qur’anic verses that privileges one sex over another. According to her, in understanding the Qur’an three principles should be considered, namely: first, the context in which the Qur’an was revealed; second, the grammatical composition of the text; and third, the whole text, that is its weltanschauung or world-view.

Abstract

For the past few years, Lombok in particular and West Nusa Tenggara in general have not only been known as an island of thousand mosques, but also as a world tourist destination, particularly Shari’a compliance (halal) tourism. With such a new branding, respective stakeholders on the island should therefore make an effort to plan strategies for presenting the concept of halal tourism that serve and benefit both domestic and foreign tourists. Dakwah (Islamic propagation/preaching) can play an important role in strengthening local people’s faith while also balancing between religiosity and tourism. This study looks into how the halal tourism ‘brand’ can be manifested in Gili Air, one of the famous small islands of tourist destination located in the northern part of Lombok. The study reveals that the dakwah strategies for shari’a tourism in Gili Air are carried out through twofold strategies, namely da‘wah bi al-lisān and da‘wah bi al-ḥāl. The first refers to a model where the activities of propagation revolve around preaching of Islamic tenets. The latter emphasizes actualization of Islamic doctrines into daily life.

Abstract

Marriage law in Islamic countries is still considered gender-biased. Indonesia, as the majority Muslim country, is not exception. Marriage Law No. 1/1974 and the Compilation of Islamic Law (Kompilasi Hukum Islam/KHI) are two examples of Muslim family law where discrimination against women persist. This paper will discuss the problem of gender biases in the Islamic marriage law in Indonesia, the imperative of gender-sensitive law reform, and the implementation of the principle of maslaha as solution. It sheds lights on such biases and offer alternative perspectives, as these are advocated by Muslim reformers. This study argues that it is necessary to reform the Islamic marriage laws, which are gender sensitives, by removing discriminatory clauses. The reform is meant to realize maslaha (well-being/welfare) and is based on the implementation of the highest objective of Islamic law, formulated as maqāshid al-sharī‘a. These include preservation of religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn), mind (ḥifẓ al-‘aql), soul (ḥifẓ al-nafs), wealth (ḥifẓ al-mal), and descendants (ḥifẓ al-nasl).

Abstract

The article examines Islamic proselytization (dakwah) on Rodja Radio by Salafi preachers (dai). The radio program targets not only Salafis but also non-Salafi Muslims in general. It seeks to analyze the content of dakwah aired by Radio Rodja 756 AM., the leading Salafi radio station located in Cileungsi, Bogor, West Java. This article focuses mainly on current legal, social, and political issues of the Salafi dakwah. The dakwah aired by Rodja Radio intends to encourage the Muslim ummah to return to the way of life that strictly follows the tradition of the Prophet Muhammad and the first three generations of Muslims. The Salafi radio station propagates Islamic puritanism that in many ways contradicts modern values. Rodja Radio preachers demonstrate their reluctance to embrace modern ideas, such as democracy, human rights, women’s rights, and to some extent, art and education. This article reveals that the radio serves as a public sphere where the Salafis disseminate ‘Islamic Puritanism’ on Indonesian air.
