Abstract

Since the beginning, The Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), as organization has had an important international role in promoting freedom of thought, as demonstrated by the establishment of the Hijaz committee. NU has continued to engage in the global arena, particularly in its support for Palestinian independence. Despite the fact that not all Palestinians are Muslim, religion has been a contributing factor in NU's unwavering support for Palestine. However, there are other dominant factors that have solidified NU's position on this issue, which are explored in this article through qualitative research methods and descriptive analysis of relevant literature and documents. The study examines NU's consistency in supporting Palestinian independence and the attitudes of four NU leaders, namely Abdurrahman Wahid, Hasyim Muzadi, Said Aqiel Siraj, and Yahya Cholil Tsaquf. Although all four leaders support Palestinian independence, their reasons and backgrounds differ, resulting in some controversy and differing mindsets within NU, Indonesian society, and even Arab embassies in Indonesia. The article argues that these differences can be attributed to variations in domestic political conditions that the leaders faced, which influenced their approaches to defending and supporting Palestine. External factors such as diplomatic relationships and non-state actors also played a role in shaping NU's stance on this issue.

Abstract

Islam spread throughout the "Nusantara", one of which was through the missionary work of Wali Songo and other clerics, who accepted, inserted and integrated Islamic teachings with the original pre-existing culture which was then known as "Islam Nusantara" which was characterized by moderation, justice, progress, middle ground and harmony. Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) can be classify as the largest Islamic organization worldwide, with around 121 million members. NU upholds Pancasila and the unity of diversity, namely religious and cultural pluralism. This is the line of indigenization and Indonesianization of Islam that was propagated by Gus Dur. Gus Yahya's new leadership acknowledged as able to absorb Gus Dur's ideology of tolerance, openness, the middle way, gradualism, pluralism, humanity, and the flexible application of Islamic law (fiqh). Gus Yahya was also able to take charge of Abdurrahman's controversial visit to Israel and has toured to promote dialogue between the two sides. Israelis and Palestinians, believe that "reconciliation and coexistence between them" is one of the keys to peace. That is the reason why Gus Yahya is called as the reincarnation of Gus Dur. The new leadership aims to strengthen NU's vitality and independence as an organization. Improving management capabilities and improving the standard of living of the NU support base, namely farmers and fishermen, as well as increasing the micro, small and medium enterprises, trade, and industry. All NU members are expected to act as social reform promoters (agents of change). The composition of the new leadership proofed as fully rich in diversity, including the appointment of women leaders, local activists, young intellectuals, influential Habib (descendants of the Prophet Muhammad), and Chinese Muslims. In particular, the inclusion of 11 women in the central leadership was a milestone for NU.

Abstract

Shaykh Muhyi Pamijahan merupakan murid Shaykh Abd al-Rauf al-Singkili yang berdakwah menyebarkan ajaran Martabat Tujuh dan Tarekat Shattariyah di Pulau Jawa. Ajaran ini tersebar terutama di kalangan ahli tarekat dan para priyayi. Ajaran Martabat Tujuh Shaykh Muhyi bersumber dari kitab al-Tuhfah al-Mursalah karya Shakh Fadl Allah al-Burhanpuri dari India, namun Shaykh Muhyi memiliki penjelasan Martabat Tujuh Tujuh menggunakan bahasa pegon dalam manuskrip Martabat Kang Pipitu dan beberapa naskah koleksi Leiden Library dengan nomor katalog cod. or 7527 dan 7705. Martabat Tujuh merupakan penjelasan dari aspek ontologi yaitu tajalli dhat wujud qadim meliputi ahadiyah, wahdah dan wahidiyah, dan aspek kosmologi yaitu wujud huduts meliputi ‘alam arwah, ‘alam mithal, ‘alam ajsam dan Insan kamil. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan sufistik untuk mengetahui tarekat yang diikuti oleh seorang sufi dan bagaimana karakteristik penafsirannya terhadap Martabat Tujuh. Hasil kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa Shaykh Muhyi Pamijahan sebagai tokoh sentral dalam penyebaran Martabat Tujuh di Jawa selain mengikuti tarekat Shattariyah dan beberapa terakat lainnya juga mengikuti Tarekat Qadiriyah Naqsabandiyah. Dengan demikian dapat dipahami bahwa Shaykh Muhyi (w. 1730) sebagai pembawa Tarekat Qadiriyah Naqsabandiyah pertama kali di Nusantara sebelum Shaykh Katib Sambas (w. 1875). Ajaran Martabat Tujuh Shaykh Muhyi memiliki karakteristik penafsiran bercorak Ash’ariyah dengan memilah aspek ontologi yaitu martabat alam qadim (ahadiyah. wahdah. wahidiyah) bersifat tanzih dan aspek kosmologi (alam arwah. mithal, ajsam dan insan) sebagai wujud huduts bersifat tashbih. Selain itu, tetap disiplin dalam pengamalan syariat lahir maupun batin.

Abstract

I n 2015, the United Nations introduced the that aims at globally achieving concrete Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Today, sustainable development has become the dominant development narrative in 2030 Agenda, a new development paradigm international cooperation discourse, despite criticism of its top-down approach and secular bias. This explorative article discusses the potential of Indonesian Islamic concepts, such as Nahdlatul Ulama’s Islam Nusantara and Fikih Peradaban, to contribute to the sustainable development discourse from an Islamic perspective. By mapping the current intellectual debate on Fikih Peradaban, I demonstrate that Fikih Peradaban is a particularly suited approach as epistemologically and conceptually it occupies a middle ground position that mediates between local and global development paradigms. I further argue that Fikih Peradaban’s focus on the concepts of humanism, humanist Islam (or Islamic humanism), and Islamic legal reasoning in the service of all people regardless of religious affiliation may contribute to its global appeal and effectiveness. The article draws on notes taken at a conference on “Islam Nusantara and World Peace” (February 5, 2023) in Surabaya as well as notes taken at the first Fikih Peradaban conference (February 6, 2023) in Surabaya. It is also based on a close reading of official material that accompanied the latter conference. Furthermore, I embed the discussion on the nexus between Indonesian Islamic concepts and sustainable development into the broader academic and policy debate on the role of religion within sustainable development. Hence, this article is connected to the research project “Freedom and Development? Religious Actors, Freedom of Religion and Belief, and Sustainable Development” conducted by the German Institute for Global and Area Studies, Hamburg, from 2020 to 2023. Keywords: Indonesia, Fikih Peradaban, humanist Islam, sustainable development

Abstract

This study explains the roles played by Sufi scholars in building Aceh’s interconnectivity with global Islamic networks in the seventeenth century. It responds to a gap in earlier scholarship, which has often discussed the transmission of Sufi scholars in overly broad terms without specifying the concrete mechanisms through which Aceh was connected to the wider Islamic world. The study employs the historical method, drawing on source-based library research. The analysis focuses on tracing patterns of mobility, scholarly transmission, and correspondence undertaken by Acehnese Sufi scholars during the apex of the Aceh Sultanate. The findings demonstrate that Acehnese Sufi figures such as Hamzah Fansuri, Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raʾūf, and Shams al-Dīn al-Sumatrānī played central roles as agents linking Aceh to international Islamic networks. This connectivity was constructed through intellectual travel, the delegation of students to study in major Middle Eastern centers of Sufism, and correspondence with prominent figures in other parts of the Islamic world. These networks extended from Southeast Asia to North Africa, reinforcing Aceh’s position as a key node in the circulation of knowledge and religious authority. This article contributes to scholarship on the history of Islam in the Malay–Indonesian world and Islamic intellectual networks by offering a more specific mapping of Sufis as transnational actors in shaping Aceh’s relationship with the global Islamic world in the seventeenth century.

Abstract

Syekh Muhammad Nafis bin Idris bin Husain al-Banjari, seperti mayoritas ulama MelayuIndonesia yang bermazhab Syafi’i dan Asy’ari. Lahir pada tahun 1148 H atau bertepatan 1735 M.Ia memiliki beberapa karangan diantaranya ialah kitab “al-Durru al-Nafis fi Bayan Wahidah al-Af’al wa al-Asma wa al-Shifat wa al-Dzatu al-Taqdis”, yang membahas tentang ilmu tashawuf.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap hadis-hadis yang terdapat dalam kitab al-Durru al-Nafis. kemudian mendatangkan hukum hadis tersebut dan takhrij-nya supaya orang umum danpenuntut ilmu mengetahui apakah hadis-hadis tersebut dapat dijadikan hujjah atau tidak. Adapunmanhaj (metode) yang digunakan ialah metode Imam al-Iraqi dalam kitabnya al-Mughni al-Asfar‘an Haml al-Asfar dalam menentukan hokum hadis-hadis yang terdapat dalam kitab Ihya Ulum al-Din. Dalam penelitian ini terdapat 31 hadis tanpa pengulangan yang diteliti dalam kitab tersebut.Kebanyakan hadisnya tidak sahih, yaitu 42% sahih, 19% dhaif dan 39% hadis peneliti tidakmemberikan komentar (hukum). Peneliti berprasangka bahwa Muallif mengambil hadis dikitabnya dengan orientasi ini karena ia bukan ulama hadis, melainkan ulama tasawuf.

Abstract

This study seeks to explain the factors that lead religiously based civil society organizations to consistently cooperate with, or instead oppose, (semi-)authoritarian regimes. It also examines how the historical accumulation of religious competence can shape an organization’s political choices over time. The study employs a comparative case-study design, offering an in-depth historical analysis of the political responses of Indonesia’s two largest Islamic organizations, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, within the context of democratic backsliding. The findings show that the divergent political strategies of NU and Muhammadiyah are shaped by two primary factors. First is the extent to which each organization’s ideology differs from that of emerging Islamist groups. Second is the degree to which the organizations’ follower bases shift toward these Islamist actors. With an ideological profile more clearly distinct from Islamism and a relatively large and loyal constituency, NU has tended to align with the government, including supporting restrictive measures against Islamist groups. Muhammadiyah, by contrast, has faced stronger competitive pressures due to certain ideological proximities with Islamism and a follower base more vulnerable to erosion. These conditions have encouraged Muhammadiyah to adopt a more critical stance toward democratic backsliding, while also defending Islamist groups subjected to state repression. This article contributes to scholarship on modern Islamic history, civil society, religion and politics, and democracy in Indonesia by demonstrating that intra-religious competence and historically shaped constituency dynamics constitute key variables for explaining patterns of collaboration and resistance among Islamic organizations in relation to the state.
