Abstract

This article discusses the potential of women in political contestation from the perspective of Ali Abdur Raziq, a leading Islamic thinker and reformer. The growth of the population, which is dominated by women, makes them a force in their own right. However, awareness of women's contributions to politics is still minimal. This view is supported by historical facts which show men as characters who dominate all aspects of life, so that narrating women and politics in the same conversation is almost considered something taboo. The purpose of writing this article is to re-present women as figures who stand the same as men, having the same opportunities in every matter. By using literature research, this article hypothesizes that women, while still carrying their religious awareness, have the potential to help change the country and society's views through political aspects

Abstract

Violence in the name of religion continues to sprout within Indonesian society. This article aims to describe the religious conflict resolution model of the NU Ansor Youth Movement and the Muhammadiyah Youth of the Paciran Lamongan Branch. This research employs a qualitative method with a sociological approach to religion, and data collection was conducted through interviews and the study of relevant literature. The findings of this study indicate that: 1) Both the NU Ansor Youth Movement and Muhammadiyah Youth reject violent models of preaching. 2) There is a difference in attitude towards perpetrators of violence, where the NU Ansor Youth Movement tends to adopt a non-accommodative firm stance, unequivocally rejecting and insisting that perpetrators of violence must be punished according to legal statutes, whereas Muhammadiyah Youth exhibits a firm-accommodative attitude, sternly condemning acts of violence but remaining willing to embrace and invite the perpetrators back to a tolerant and inclusive understanding. 3) The media of resolution employed include issuing advisory letters, press releases to the media, dialogues among community elements, conveying deradicalization insights through religious study sessions (Yasinan and Tahlilan), and the formation of Densus 99 Anti-Terror. 4) The conflict resolution model consists of two stages: long-term, aiming to build cadre awareness of the importance of a tolerant attitude and peaceful living through education, training, social and economic empowerment, ideological development, and the distribution of cadres to the public domain; and short-term, wherein preaching programs are executed sporadically and reactively at the time or after acts of violence to prevent the expansion and escalation of conflict.

Abstract

Cirebon, one of the areas that still preserves traditions from ancient times to the present, upholds pilgrimage as one such tradition. This article highlights a pilgrimage phenomenon whose tradition remains in Cirebon Regency. In Cirebon's pilgrimage tradition, which is quite 'unique,' the Chinese ethnic group carries out a pilgrimage when visiting the grave of Ong Tien in Astana Village, Gunung Jati Subdistrict, Cirebon Regency. According to local beliefs, Ong Tien, a descendant of the Chinese ethnicity, embraced Islam and was one of the wives of Sunan Gunung Jati. In this study, three religious adherents visit Ong Tien's grave: Buddhists and followers of Confucianism. Several questions are outlined: First, what are the beliefs of the Chinese ethnic group when visiting Ong Tien's grave? Second, what are the purposes of the Chinese ethnic group visiting Ong Tien's grave? And third, what activities do the Chinese ethnic group carry out when visiting Ong Tien's grave? I answer these questions using a Social-Anthropological approach. In analyzing the data, I employ a qualitative descriptive analysis method, aiming to explain and analyze the phenomenon of pilgrimage carried out by non-Muslims at Ong Tien's grave

Abstract

Karl Marx was a philosopher and social observer, whose intelligence and brilliant thinking earned him a position as a political leader among the proletarian class of his time. For Marx, the essence of humanity lies in labor, and religion is a product and expression of the interests of the oppressed lower classes. Living in Europe during the industrial age, Marx's thoughts differed significantly from those of other philosophers of his time. This text examines Marx's thoughts on Materialism, religious beliefs, and Marxist Economics. Research findings indicate that Historical Materialism proposed by Marx is a useful term for providing the basic assumptions of his theory. The emphasis in his work "Das Kapital" is on the material needs and the struggle to enhance socialist revolution so that the proletariat can enjoy the majority of what is produced by industrialism. Marx believed that the ownership of the means of production in society should be evenly distributed according to human needs, not to the greed of a few. Religion, Marx argued, is an opiate for the masses, manipulating them with promises of eternal futures, thus alienating them from reality. In the capitalist economic system, Marx contended that fair wages for labor should be determined equally, just as the value of each commodity is determined by the amount of labor, meaning that employers should pay workers according to their labor

Abstract

The discourse surrounding the issue of classical Islamic theology that has developed so far is: First, that the emergence of schools in Islamic theology was predominantly due to political factors, even though if explored more deeply it turns out that differences in methods of thinking were the main factor; Second, there is an assumption that mutaqaddimin scholars understand theological verses in the Koran textually and do not understand them rationally, even though in reality many Muslim theologians interpret these theological verses rationally and freely. Based on these two issues, this article will reveal the dynamics of Islamic theological thinking of Islamic scholars in the classical period. The aim is to find the significance of the influence of the thinking activities of Muslim theologians during the classical period on the growth and development of Islamic theological thought and the birth of firqahs in Islamic theology during that period.

Abstract

By referring to God as the Beloved, Rabi'ah al-Adawiah, the first Sufi woman, articulated the relationship with the Divine in a way that has come to be recognized as uniquely Sufi. The love described in the Pattern of Rabi'ah is thought to be pure love for God; the lover must walk along the route of love in order to remember God alone, not Hell or Paradise. When Rabi'ah speaks of "love," he means something more fundamental than something constrained by reward or hope. Her affection is truly lovely. The first woman to discuss the practicalities of Sufism in an approachable and comprehensible manner was Rabi'ah. The genuine embodiment of the relationship between a human being and God is found in Rabi'ah's love. She has contributed significantly to the growth of Sufism. I will explore Rabi'ah al-Adawiah's practice of love in this article. She was a follower of the Sufi Way, a mystical path within Islam. She will share stories of her efforts to witness truth in many realms, as well as her dreams and visions, as well as her sacred songs and poetry

Abstract

This study aims to examine the perspectives of interfaith leaders in Padang City on religious moderation. This study uses a naturalistic qualitative approach, with data collection techniques of in-depth interviews with Muslim, Catholic, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and Confucian religious leaders. This study focuses on four pillars or indicators of religious moderation, namely commitment to nation and state, tolerance, non-violence, and accommodation to local culture. The results found that interfaith leaders in Padang City strongly support the concept of religious moderation because religious moderation is believed to be relevant to the teachings of each religion, such as the common ideals of building the life of the nation and state for mutual progress, living in harmony amid differences, rejecting acts of violence in the name of religion, and maintaining and respecting local culture. This study also found that interfaith leaders as religious elites spread the values of religious moderation to each of their followers. The interfaith leaders also agreed that Padang City is conducive in terms of interfaith relations, even though the city is ranked low in the tolerance index by a number of research institutions

Abstract

This study examines the need and processes for reform in Islamic thought amid contemporary challenges. Despite the eternal nature of Sharia, acknowledged by Allah, the conditions of modernity necessitate continuous ijtihad—dynamic interpretation—to preserve the relevance of Islamic teachings. This research employs a textual historical approach, focusing on the discourse of prominent scholars to understand the evolving nature of morality and ethics within Islamic traditions. The study underscores the critical role of ijtihad in addressing the ethical dilemmas posed by modern social changes, technological advancements, and the influence of authoritative religious interpretations. Therefore, an adaptive ethical framework that integrates both individual and collective moral values is essential to ensure that Islamic thought remains relevant and responsive to the complexities of a global society. This study advocates for a balanced approach to religious practices that align with contemporary moral and ethical standards, thereby supporting the sustainability and purity of Islamic teachings in a modern context.
