Abstract

This study examines the representation of Mary Magdalene in the narrative of her relationship with Jesus Christ through a historical-critical approach to the canonical texts, apocryphal texts, and modern literature discussing the subject. The study is motivated by the longstanding debate in the historiography of early Christianity regarding Mary Magdalene's position, whether as a prominent disciple, the witness to the resurrection, or a figure who has been variously portrayed in theological traditions and popular culture. This research employs a library research method using a historical-critical approach and comparative textual analysis. The findings indicate that the canonical texts primarily portray Mary Magdalene as a witness to the resurrection and a devoted follower of Jesus, whereas the apocryphal texts and modern discourse offer more diverse interpretations of her relationship with Jesus. However, differences in textual authority, historical context, and the temporal distance between these sources demonstrate that the claim of a marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene cannot be established as historical fact. This study underscores the importance of distinguishing between historical evidence, theological interpretation, and cultural construction when interpreting the narrative of Mary Magdalene. Penelitian ini mengkaji representasi Maria Magdalena dalam narasi relasinya dengan Yesus Kristus melalui pendekatan historis-kritis terhadap teks kanonik, teks apokrif, dan literatur modern yang membahasnya. Kajian ini berangkat dari perdebatan panjang dalam historiografi Kekristenan awal mengenai posisi Maria Magdalena, baik sebagai murid penting, saksi kebangkitan, maupun figur yang kemudian dipersepsikan secara beragam dalam tradisi teologis dan budaya populer. Metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah penelitian kepustakaan dengan pendekatan historis-kritis dan analisis tekstual-komparatif. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa teks kanonik menempatkan Maria Magdalena terutama sebagai saksi kebangkitan dan pengikut Yesus, sedangkan teks apokrif dan wacana modern menghadirkan interpretasi yang lebih beragam tentang kedekatan relasionalnya dengan Yesus. Namun, perbedaan tingkat otoritas, konteks penulisan, dan jarak historis antarteks menunjukkan bahwa klaim mengenai pernikahan Yesus dan Maria Magdalena tidak dapat dipastikan sebagai fakta sejarah. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya membedakan antara data historis, interpretasi teologis, dan konstruksi budaya dalam membaca narasi Maria Magdalena.

Abstract

Penambangan Emas Tanpa Izin (PETI) di Sarolangun memicu krisis ekologis yang kompleks, seperti kontaminasi merkuri, kerusakan lanskap, dan dampak sosial-ekonomi. Penelitian ini menganalisis dampak PETI sebagai pola kerusakan sistemik melalui perspektif ekoteologi Islam, penting untuk memahami hubungan antara degradasi lingkungan, tekanan ekonomi, dan kegagalan tata kelola, serta untuk kontribusi dalam studi ekoteologi, ekologi, dan kebijakan sumber daya alam. Metode penelitian menggunakan deskriptif-analitis berbasis laporan lapangan, publikasi ilmiah, data lingkungan, dan studi literatur yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, terjadinya kontaminasi merkuri, konversi lahan yang merusak hidrologi, pergeseran mata pencaharian, kerentanan ekonomi, serta lemahnya tata kelola yang mereproduksi kerusakan secara berulang. Analisis dari perspektif ekoteologis, PETI beroperasi sebagai jaringan sosial-ekologis yang merusak lingkungan, mencerminkan kolaborasi antara tindakan sosial yang merugikan lingkungan dan ketidakmampuan sistem untuk mengelola dampak tersebut secara efektif, serta menciptakan disfungsi dalam praktik etis yang seharusnya menjaga keseimbangan antara manusia dan alam.Illegal gold mining (PETI) in Sarolangun has triggered an increasingly complex ecological crisis, particularly through mercury contamination, landscape degradation, and socio-economic transformation within local communities. This study aims to explain how PETI generates patterns of systemic destruction and to assess it from the perspective of Islamic ecotheology as an ethical framework for interpreting this phenomenon. This issue is urgent in order to uncover the relationship between environmental degradation, economic pressures, and governance failure, thereby contributing theoretical insight to studies of ecotheology, ecology, and natural resource policy. The research employs a descriptive-analytical method based on field reports, scientific publications, environmental data, and relevant literature. The findings reveal significant mercury contamination, land conversion that disrupts hydrology, shifts in livelihoods, economic vulnerability, and weak governance that perpetuates recurrent damage. From an ecotheological perspective, PETI operates as a socio-ecological network that destroys the environment and demonstrates ethical–moral dysfunction. The conclusion emphasizes the need for ecological policy integration, strengthening of local institutions, and internalization of ecotheological ethics to break the cycle of destruction. This study opens space for further research on governance design grounded in religious values and socio-ecological sustainability.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between religiosity and religious moderation among Generation Alpha students in two distinct educational institutions in Jombang, Indonesia: MTs Muallimin Denanyar (Muslim) and SMP Katolik Wijana (Catholic). The study aims to explore the extent to which religiosity influences attitudes toward religious moderation and to compare these dynamics across different institutional contexts. A quantitative approach was employed, using purposive sampling to select 100 students from each school. Data were analyzed through normality and linearity tests, bivariate Pearson correlation, and Independent Samples T-Test. Findings indicate a positive and significant relationship between religiosity and religious moderation. At SMP Katolik Wijana, the correlation was moderate (r = 0.465), whereas at MTs Muallimin Denanyar it was strong (r = 0.671). Comparative analysis revealed that Muslim students exhibited higher levels of religiosity than their Catholic peers, yet both groups displayed comparable levels of religious moderation. These results suggest that personal piety does not inherently lead to exclusivist attitudes, highlighting that Generation Alpha can integrate strong religious commitment with social tolerance. The study provides empirical evidence that both educational context and social environment are critical in shaping religious moderation among Generation Alpha. These findings have implications for designing religious education curricula that balance religiosity with openness to diversity, enabling young people to function as effective agents of tolerance in multicultural societies

Abstract

Abstract This study examines how the text reframes personal grief as a Buddhist ethical practice, articulating love as karmic merit (puñña) and mourning as a ritualized form of spiritual cultivation (bhāvanā). This study employs narrative ethics and close reading to analyze Hendry Filcozwei Jan’s memoir Mengenang Mama Linda: Wanita Luar Biasa nan Penyayang (2023). The analysis demonstrates that the memoir integrates Theravāda doctrine, Confucian filial piety, and Indonesian cultural rituals to construct a hybrid narrative of healing. The findings reveal that Jan’s literary practice functions as dāna (generosity), transforming private loss into a communal moral resource. This research contributes to Buddhist literary studies by providing a granular model of how contemporary Southeast Asian memoirs navigate grief through narrative ethics, offering an alternative to Western paradigms focused on individual catharsis.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the forms of violations, the actors involved, and the conflict resolution mechanisms related to Freedom of Religion and Belief (FRB) in West Sumatra. This study uses a qualitative method with a documentation approach, sourced from advocacy reports, online media, and interviews with purposively selected informants. Data analysis was conducted thru the stages of reduction, visualization, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The research results show that FRB violations in West Sumatra are dominated by restrictions on freedom of expression in the form of hate speech, followed by criminal acts against religious activities or places of worship, and pressure to convert to another religion. The most dominant violators come from state institutions, followed by community organizations, religious leaders, and other non-state actors. Minority groups, particularly Christians and Ahmadiyyah followers, are the most vulnerable to violations, although cases also target other social groups more broadly. In terms of conflict resolution, the approach used tends to be dominated by a repressive formal legal pathway, accompanied by community-based mediation mechanisms. However, both approaches have not fully guarantyd substantive justice, especially for minority groups who often find themselves in vulnerable positions. These findings indicate a gap between the normative guaranties of FRB in regulations and their implementation practices at the local level. Therefore, there is a need to strengthen a conflict resolution system that is more inclusive, fair, and based on the protection of human rights.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis representasi perempuan dalam film La Luna (2023) di tengah ketegangan antara syariat Islam dan hak asasi manusia dengan menggunakan perspektif pemikiran Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na‘im. Melalui pendekatan ini, penelitian berupaya mengungkap bagaimana film tersebut merepresentasikan perlawanan perempuan terhadap konstruksi sosial dan tafsir agama yang tidak kontekstual, serta bagaimana gagasan reformasi syariat dapat mendorong terciptanya pemahaman Islam yang lebih humanis dan setara. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan analisis visual-teksual (qualitative visual-textual analysis) yang berfokus pada interpretasi makna simbolik dan naratif dalam film La Luna. Sumber data utama berasal dari adegan, dialog, dan narasi film yang berkaitan dengan isu perempuan, kebebasan berekspresi, dan norma keagamaan, sedangkan data pendukung diperoleh dari literatur akademik yang relevan mengenai perempuan, hak asasi manusia, dan Islam progresif. Proses analisis dilakukan melalui tahap pengumpulan data visual-teksual, pengodean tematik, analisis isi, serta validasi interpretasi dengan triangulasi teori An-Na‘im. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa La Luna tidak hanya merepresentasikan pergulatan perempuan terhadap struktur patriarki dan tafsir agama konservatif, tetapi juga menghadirkan kritik terhadap ketimpangan gender dalam masyarakat Muslim. Film ini menegaskan pentingnya reinterpretasi syariat secara etis dan kontekstual demi mewujudkan keadilan dan kesetaraan dalam kerangka Islam yang humanis.The article examines how the film La Luna (2023) portrays the position of women amidst the tension between Islamic Sharia values and human rights principles. Using the perspective of Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im thoughts. Through this perspective, the research seeks to reveal how the film portrays women’s resistance against non-contextual social constructions and religious interpretations, as well as how the idea of Sharia reform can foster a more humanistic and egalitarian understanding of Islam. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a visual-textual analysis approach, focusing on the interpretation of symbolic and narrative meanings in La Luna. The primary data are drawn from the film’s scenes, dialogues, and narratives related to issues of women, freedom of expression, and religious norms, while supporting data are obtained from relevant academic literature on women, human rights, and progressive Islam. The analytical process involves several stages, including visual-textual data collection, thematic coding, content analysis, and validation through theoretical triangulation based on An-Na‘im’s framework. The findings indicate that La Luna not only represents women’s struggle against patriarchal structures and conservative religious interpretations but also offers a critical reflection on gender inequality within Muslim societies. The film underscores the importance of ethical and contextual reinterpretation of Sharia to realize justice and equality within a humanistic Islamic framework.

Abstract

Ahmad Deedat (1918-2005) is one of the most influential Islamic apologetic figures in modern Islamic history, who for more than five decades dedicated himself to building a methodology for understanding Islam in the domain of inter-religious relations. Despite his widespread recognition, a significant academic gap exists: no research has systematically examined the relevance of his thought to the needs of contemporary Muslims. This study aims to identify and analyze the relevance of Ahmad Deedat's thought to the needs of contemporary Muslims. Using a theological-comparative approach with a library research design and qualitative content analysis, the study examines 11 of Deedat's primary works alongside 9 academic studies about him, as well as wasathiyyah references as a framework for understanding contemporary Muslim needs. The findings show that Deedat's thought in the domain of inter-religious relation s encompassing dimensions of divinity, prophethood, scripture, salvation, and universal brotherhood has significant relevance to contemporary Muslim needs, particularly in building intellectual-apologetic capacity, affirming Islamic universalism, and democratizing theological knowledge. This relevance is selective: the substance of his thought is relevant, while his methodology of delivery requires adaptation suited to the context and needs of Muslims today. Ahmad Deedat (1918-2005) adalah salah satu figur apologetika Islam paling berpengaruh dalam sejarah Islam modern, yang selama lebih dari lima dekade mendedikasikan dirinya untuk membangun metodologi pemahaman Islam dalam wilayah hubungan antar agama-agama. Meskipun namanya dikenal luas, terdapat gap akademik yang signifikan: belum ada penelitian yang secara sistematis mengkaji relevansi pemikirannya terhadap kebutuhan umat Islam kontemporer. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis relevansi pemikiran Ahmad Deedat terhadap kebutuhan umat Islam kontemporer. Menggunakan pendekatan teologis-komparatif dengan desain studi kepustakaan dan metode analisis isi (content analysis) kualitatif, penelitian ini menelaah 11 karya primer Deedat bersama 9 kajian akademik tentangnya, serta referensi wasathiyyah sebagai kerangka untuk memahami kebutuhan umat Islam kontemporer. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemikiran Deedat dalam wilayah hubungan antar agama-agama yang mencakup dimensi ketuhanan, kenabian, kitab suci, keselamatan, dan persaudaraan universal memiliki relevansi yang signifikan terhadap kebutuhan umat Islam kontemporer, khususnya dalam membangun kapasitas intelektual-apologetik, menegaskan universalisme Islam, dan mendemokratisasikan pengetahuan teologi. Relevansi tersebut bersifat selektif: substansi pemikirannya relevan, sementara metodologi penyampaiannya memerlukan adaptasi yang disesuaikan dengan konteks dan kebutuhan umat Islam masa kini.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the experience of the suluk ritual and mental health. To achieve this objective, research questions were formulated regarding the nature of the suluk ritual and ethical considerations to determine its relationship with mental health. Qualitative data was collected using Schutz’s phenomenological approach to explore shared and individual experiences within a specific context. The primary data sources in this study were the mursyid, khalifah, and congregation. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed in various stages with the presentation of results. The results of the study indicate that the suluk ritual is a form of spiritual training that requires each member to perform a series of rituals, such as dhikr, muraqabah, tawajuh, and others. To ensure discipline among participants during the ritual, ethical guidelines have been established that require adherence and implementation before, during, and after the process. These ethical guidelines consistently uphold the practices throughout the suluk ritual. Furthermore, the connection between the suluk ritual and mental health is evident through the intersubjective experiences of the participants who perform the ritual, as they acknowledge the changes they undergo—namely, becoming calm and capable of rational thinking. The practice of zikir, which is the main activity of the suluk ritual, has made a significant contribution to shaping the mental health of the participants. Therefore, it can be concluded that the suluk ritual has a positive influence on the development of mental health.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis Tradisionalisme, Neo-Tradisionalisme, dan Radikalisme dalam Islam kontemporer melalui kerangka politik bahasa Islam Bernard Lewis, yang memandang bahasa bukan sekadar medium komunikasi, melainkan arena perebutan makna, legitimasi, otoritas keagamaan, serta pembentukan identitas dan etos sosial. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui telaah literatur analitis terhadap karya-karya representatif ketiga arus pemikiran, dengan pembacaan kritis yang diperdalam melalui elemen Analisis Wacana Kritis Fairclough pada level teks dan fungsi sosial-ideologisnya. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Tradisionalisme meneguhkan otoritas keagamaan transenden melalui kesinambungan sanad dan bahasa turāth, yang membentuk identitas keislaman berbasis kontinuitas tradisi serta etos adab keilmuan. Neo-Tradisionalisme menegosiasikan otoritas penafsiran dengan merevitalisasi terminologi klasik dalam ruang global-digital, sehingga melahirkan identitas keislaman hibrid dan etos revitalisasi berbasis jejaring. Sementara itu, Radikalisme mengklaim otoritas kebenaran tunggal melalui bahasa pemurnian sebagai instrumen eksklusi dan konfrontasi ideologis, yang menghasilkan etos puritan dan konfrontatif. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada pemanfaatan politik bahasa sebagai ruang analitis bersama untuk membaca kontestasi otoritas, identitas, dan etos Islam kontemporer, serta membuka peluang kajian lanjutan melalui analisis media digital dan perbandingan lintas budaya.This study analyzes Traditionalism, Neo-Traditionalism, and Radicalism in contemporary Islam through Bernard Lewis’s framework of Islamic language politics, which understands language not merely as a medium of communication but as an arena of struggle over meaning, legitimacy, religious authority, and the formation of identity and social ethos. Employing a qualitative approach based on an analytical literature review of representative works from the three intellectual currents, the study is informed by critical reading using elements of Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis at the levels of textual construction and socio-ideological function. The findings show that Traditionalism reinforces transcendent religious authority through the continuity of sanad and the language of turāth, shaping an Islamic identity grounded in the continuity of tradition and an ethos of scholarly adab. Neo-Traditionalism negotiates interpretive authority by revitalizing classical terminology within global-digital spaces, producing a hybrid Islamic identity and a network-based ethos of revitalization. Radicalism, by contrast, claims exclusive truth authority through the language of purification as an instrument of exclusion and ideological confrontation, resulting in a puritan and confrontational ethos. The originality of this study lies in its use of language politics as a shared analytical space to examine the contestation of authority, identity, and ethos in contemporary Islam, while opening avenues for future research through digital media analysis and cross-cultural comparison.
