Abstract

Faced with the deforestation crisis in Southeast Aceh, with the rate of forest loss reaching ±5,000 hectares/year based on KLHK data in 2024, and the phenomenon of ecological faith dissociation among Catholic Youth (OMK), this research develops an ecological catechesis model based on Shared Christian Praxis (SCP). This model is designed to transform OMK into agents of environmental conservation while overcoming the limitations of conventional catechesis, which is monologic and abstract. By applying Martin Heidegger's (1962) hermeneutic phenomenological method, data were collected through in-depth interviews (31 OMK and 14 community and church leaders), participatory observation of ecological catechesis and reforestation activities, and document study in Southeast Aceh (April-June 2025). The findings prove that (1) the SCP model succeeded in increasing the ecological awareness of 72% of OMK participants through spiritual transformation that interpreted “planting trees as a liturgy of life”; (2) the integration of Laudato Si' teachings with the local wisdom of Adat bak Poe Teumeureuhom strengthened context-based ecological identity; and (3) real action commitments were manifested in reforestation participation (80%) and reduction of single-use plastics (65%). Key recommendations include the adoption of an integrated catechesis module, the church and government, and advocacy for an “ecological refugee” policy based on the Vatican document (POCDP). Theologically, this research affirms the ecological crisis as a path of holiness while making a significant contribution to the development of practical theology, particularly in building a participatory, contextual, and action-oriented ecological catechesis paradigm as a manifestation of authentic faith.

Abstract

The Sekaten ceremony in Yogyakarta has been preserved for centuries as part of the commemoration of the Prophet Muhammad’s birth. This study analyzes how three central rituals of the Sekaten, namely Miyos Gongso, Miyos Dalem, and Grebeg Mulud, function as symbolic media for transmitting Islamic devotion, ethical guidance, and communal solidarity through Javanese cultural forms. The research applies a qualitative descriptive approach with a phenomenological and symbolic framework. Data are based on textual and historical sources that document Islamic acculturation and ritual practice. The analysis employs hermeneutic interpretation supported by triangulation of data and theory as well as interpretative phenomenological analysis to strengthen credibility and depth of interpretation. The findings show that Miyos Gongso conveys Islamic teachings through gendhing compositions that emphasize sincerity, repentance, and purity while remaining embedded in Javanese musical aesthetics. Miyos Dalem presents the Prophet’s biography as a form of ritual pedagogy that promotes ethical emulation and parallels the manaqib tradition. Grebeg Mulud culminates the celebration with gunungan offerings that express gratitude to God, dramatize life’s struggles, and reinforce communal solidarity through shared participation. The study demonstrates that the spread of Islam in Java was achieved not by rejecting existing traditions but by reinterpreting them symbolically. The Sekaten illustrates how Islamic values were embedded in cultural practices, producing a synthesis that remains socially persuasive and spiritually meaningful. This case contributes to scholarship on religion and culture by showing how faith becomes localized through cultural engagement and symbolic negotiation.

Abstract

This study investigates the inheritance rights of wives and children in unregistered (siri) marriages within the community of Silandoyung Village, Silau Kahean District, Simalungun Regency. Using an empirical socio-legal approach, the research combines field interviews with village officials, religious leaders, traditional leaders, and affected families, alongside a normative analysis of Islamic law, the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), and Indonesian positive law. The findings reveal that the community acknowledges inheritance rights for wives and children from siri marriages based on religious values and customary norms, despite the absence of state recognition due to the lack of official marriage registration. This discrepancy creates potential inheritance disputes, reflecting a legal tension between religious-customary legitimacy and state law. From the perspective of Islamic law, siri marriages are valid if their pillars are fulfilled, granting wives and children inheritance rights; however, under Indonesian positive law, registration is mandatory for legal recognition. The study concludes that marriage registration is not merely an administrative formality but a crucial mechanism to harmonize state law with local wisdom, thereby ensuring legal protection and justice for women and children in siri marriages.

Abstract

Sibolga is a coastal city in Indonesia characterized by high ethnic and religious diversity, shaped by a long history of trade, migration, and cultural exchange. This study aims to examine how religious pluralism is managed and the challenges of tolerance in a multicultural society. Using a qualitative method through literature review and interviews, the research identifies two main realities: the potential for harmony through values of mutual cooperation, deliberation, and the local motto “berbilang kaum, satu tujuan” (“many groups, one goal”), as well as vulnerabilities caused by issues of ethnicity and religion (SARA), radicalism, economic inequality, and the politicization of religion. The findings highlight four strategies for strengthening tolerance: multicultural education, structured interfaith dialogue, the role of local leaders as mediators, and the revitalization of cultural values. The novelty of this research lies in its emphasis on solutions grounded in the social practices of Sibolga’s community, making it an adaptive model with potential for replication in other multicultural regions of Indonesia.

The findings indicate that religious leaders play a crucial role in strengthening community spirituality through regular study sessions, worship guidance, and youth moral development. In the social sphere, they contribute through mutual cooperation, conflict mediation, and fundraising for the poor. These results highlight the role of religious leaders as educators, mediators, and social mobilizers who strengthen cohesion in rural communities.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the dynamics of campus life for non-Muslim students at Teuku Umar University (UTU). This study focuses on two main aspects, namely the challenges faced by non-Muslim students and the support available from the institution. This research uses a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach, which aims to understand and describe the phenomena experienced by the research subjects. The data collection techniques used were in-depth interviews. The main informants are non-Muslim students who are studying and employees in the academic department and student affairs at UTU. The findings of this study identify that non-Muslim students at UTU face various challenges. The challenges faced in social interaction are differences in social and cultural norms, limitations in access and facilities for worship, and the existence of negative stigma. In social integration, non-Muslim students face challenges in the process of adjusting to the academic environment. Related to the difficulties faced by non-Muslim students, the campus strives to provide support in the form of providing services in the religious aspect, access and equality, holding inclusive social activities, and support from the academic community. It is hoped that the results of this research can be used as study material to create a responsive and inclusive campus.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of Acehnese Sufism as an expression of Islamic spirituality and a foundation of social identity from the classical to the contemporary era. Aceh, known as the Veranda of Mecca, possesses a distinctive and deeply rooted Sufi tradition within the history of Islam in the Malay Archipelago. The research aims to explore how Sufi teachings and practices in Aceh have evolved, adapted, and contributed to shaping the region’s socio-political and cultural dynamics. Employing a historical-phenomenological approach, this study investigates the works of classical Sufi figures such as Hamzah Fansuri, Syamsuddin al-Sumatrani, and Abd al-Ra’uf al-Sinkili, as well as the changing role of Sufism during the colonial, post-independence, and digital eras. The findings reveal that Acehnese Sufism has transformed from contemplative spirituality into an engaged spirituality (sufisme engagé), actively participating in political resistance, post-conflict reconstruction, and digital religious movements. This revitalization demonstrates that Acehnese Sufism serves not only as a religious heritage but also as a dynamic source of moral and social identity amid the challenges of modernity. The study contributes to the broader discourse on Islam Nusantara by offering new insights into the integration of spiritual and social dimensions in the development of Islam in Aceh.

Abstract

This study examines how religious authority shapes gender discourse in contemporary Muslim society through a comparative analysis of Yusuf Al-Qaradhawi and Nazaruddin Umar's thoughts on women's political participation. Using a sociology of knowledge framework integrated with Bourdieu's field theory and Giddens' structuration theory, this study answers three questions: how is epistemic authority built in different field positions, how do socio-religious structures shape intellectual production, and do different approaches contribute to the transformation of gender discourse? The analysis reveals three main findings. First, both scholars successfully established credible positions that enabled women's eligibility to run for president through contrasting strategies: Al-Qaradhawi accumulated orthodox reformist capital in the field of transnational scholars, enabling broad acceptance while setting conditions (Islamic dress, family priorities, husband's permission); Umar developed a comprehensive gender hermeneutics at the boundaries of academia and government, enabling unconditional participation based solely on competence. Second, field positions tangibly shape interpretive possibilities; Al-Qaradhawi's ulama habitus produces incremental modifications, while Umar's academic-modern habitus enables radical hermeneutic interventions, yet both demonstrate reflective agency in negotiating patriarchal structures. Third, both approaches contribute complementarily but incompletely to transformation: Al-Qaradhawi achieves broader acceptance through moderate reformism; Umar offers a stronger theological foundation through the principle of equality. Both maintain skepticism toward classical caliphate, indicating uneven transformation across institutional domains. The integration of Bourdieusian and Giddensian frameworks explains how discourse operates simultaneously as a mechanism of structural reproduction and a site of transformative possibility. This study concludes that religious knowledge functions as a socially embedded practice, facilitating partial rather than total transformation of patriarchal structures.
