Abstract

This article examines the contemporary relevance of Nurcholish Madjid’s thought on democracy and pluralism in Indonesia. Through a qualitative literature review guided by Miles and Huberman’s analytical framework, the study synthesizes Madjid’s intellectual formation, core democratic principles, and his nuanced approach to the relationship between Islam and the state. The findings highlight Madjid’s persistent insistence that democracy is not a finished project but an ongoing, adaptive process—one that demands ethical substance, critical participation, and continuous negotiation between religious values and civic institutions. By comparing Madjid’s ideas to those of prominent Muslim thinkers such as Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Abdullahi An-Na’im, Khaled Abou El Fadl, and Asef Bayat, the article situates his contribution within both Indonesian and broader Islamic discourses. Madjid’s advocacy for substantive democracy and active pluralism is shown to be deeply rooted in both his personal experience and his reading of Indonesia’s diverse society. The analysis demonstrates that, in the face of growing populism, the instrumentalization of religious identity, and persistent challenges to civil rights, Madjid’s vision remains urgently relevant. Rather than offering a static blueprint, Madjid’s legacy is framed as a provocation to rethink and revitalize democracy as an open, unfinished process. His call for loyal opposition, civil courage, and social learning is presented as both a challenge and a guide for Indonesia’s ongoing democratic experiment. The article concludes that Madjid’s ideas offer not easy answers, but a critical lens and a moral discipline for navigating the dilemmas of democracy, pluralism, and national identity in Indonesia today.

Abstract

This article examines the contribution of Islamic philosophy and Islamic education to the realization of democratic elections in Indonesia. The study aims to analyze how the core principles of Hablum Minallah (tauhid and taqwa) and Hablum Minannas (adl, shura, and amal makruf nahi munkar) provide ethical and normative foundations for political participation and the strengthening of democratic values. A qualitative approach with normative-philosophical analysis is employed. Data are collected through a comprehensive literature review, including classical and contemporary Islamic philosophical works, relevant legal and policy documents, and studies on Islamic education and democratic practices. Thematic and normative analysis is used to synthesize and connect philosophical values with educational strategies and electoral ethics. The analysis shows that integrating Islamic philosophical values into educational practices—through curriculum development, extracurricular activities, and community-based da’wah and counseling—can enhance civic awareness, foster responsible citizenship, and promote integrity in the electoral process. Regulatory support from national educational policies further reinforces these efforts. Islamic education is identified as a vital mechanism for instilling democratic culture, ethical conduct, and resilience against challenges such as misinformation and identity politics. The findings suggest practical strategies for policymakers and educators to incorporate Islamic values into educational programs, aiming to support ethical democratic participation. These include curriculum integration, interactive civic education, digital literacy training, and targeted community engagement. This study offers an integrative framework that connects Islamic philosophical, normative, and educational dimensions to the practical challenges of democracy in Indonesia. By situating Islamic education as both doctrinal transmission and civic empowerment, the research provides a reference for further study and policy development at the intersection of religion, education, and democratic culture.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of theological motivation and structured pedagogical practice in Qur’anic memorization (tahfidz) at Manhalun Nabighin, with a particular focus on the implementation of the Mutqin method. Employing a qualitative, phenomenological approach, data were collected from one program coordinator and thirteen students through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and analysis of institutional documents. The findings reveal that effective tahfidz at Manhalun Nabighin is grounded in a holistic educational paradigm, where memorization is not merely a technical pursuit but is embedded in spiritual values—such as ikhlas (sincerity), istiqamah (steadfastness), and an akhirah-oriented mindset—reinforced through daily routines, role modeling, and a supportive dormitory environment. The Mutqin method, characterized by systematic repetition (muraja’ah), rigorous evaluation, and peer support, fosters not only memorization quality and discipline but also emotional resilience and a lifelong commitment to the Qur’an. However, the research also highlights the dynamic nature of motivation, which is shaped by personal, familial, and technological challenges. The absence of formal psychosocial support points to the need for more comprehensive mentoring frameworks. These results underscore the importance of integrating theological motivation with adaptive pedagogical strategies to ensure sustainable and meaningful Qur’anic memorization. The study concludes with recommendations for educators and policymakers to develop holistic, context-sensitive tahfidz programs, and suggests future research to further examine comparative models and long-term outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines Wahdah Islamiyah’s perspective on philosophy within the wider Islamic intellectual tradition, focusing on how resistance to philosophical inquiry unfolds within the organization’s culture. Using a phenomenological approach—combining observation, interviews, and document analysis—the research uncovers how Wahdah Islamiyah navigates the tension between engagement with philosophy and the imperative of religious purification. While previous studies have discussed Wahdah Islamiyah’s roles in law, education, and politics, little attention has been given to its ideological stance on philosophy itself. The findings show that Wahdah Islamiyah does not wholly reject philosophy, but imposes strict boundaries on its study, motivated by the belief that potential harm outweighs possible benefit. Members adopt a selective attitude toward religious texts, and practices deemed as innovation—those lacking clear scriptural basis—are generally avoided. The study argues that Wahdah Islamiyah should be viewed not just through normative or political frameworks, but as an ideological movement negotiating its position within Indonesia’s evolving intellectual landscape. Further research is encouraged to examine other Islamic organizations and the ongoing development of Islamic philosophy in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article investigates the forms of mustadh‘afin (systemic oppression) experienced by women, as reflected in selected Qur’anic verses, and analyzes their relevance to the realities of contemporary Indonesian society. Filling a gap in previous scholarship, which often separates gender analysis from Qur’anic interpretation, this study adopts a gender-aware thematic approach (tafsir maudhu‘i) and draws on both classical and contemporary exegesis, including Al-Kassyaf, Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Al-Maraghi, and Al-Misbah. The analysis focuses on QS. An-Nisa [4]: 75, 97, 98; QS. Al-Anfal [8]: 26; and QS. Al-Qashash [28]: 4–5, all of which frame mustadh‘afin as a condition produced by structural marginalization, limited access to rights, and deep-seated gender stereotypes. In present-day Indonesia, such patterns of isti‘dhaf manifest through educational inequality, the dual burden of domestic and public responsibilities, victim blaming, and the commodification of women’s bodies. The study proposes empowerment strategies based on Qur’anic principles, including spiritual and social hijrah, gender literacy, and inclusive reinterpretation of both texts and policy. By integrating gender-sensitive exegesis with the lived experiences of Indonesian women, this article offers a new framework for Qur’anic gender discourse and supports structural transformation rooted in Islamic justice.

Abstract

This article explores the concept of Islamic theology of peace and interfaith harmony through the perspective of Asghar Ali Engineer, particularly focusing on the essence of Islam, theology of peace, and interreligious harmony. The article employs a literature study method, analyzing and interpreting Engineer's works. Asghar Ali Engineer, an Indian Muslim scholar and intellectual, advocates for peace and pluralism in Islam, emphasizing the importance of Tauhid (the Oneness of God) as a foundation for social justice and peace. His approach integrates the concept of liberation theology, emphasizing the necessity of liberating humanity from oppression and injustice. Engineer interprets Tauhid not merely as a religious ritual but as a social structure that fosters equality and peace. He argues that true peace in Islam involves respecting religious diversity and eliminating coercion in faith. The study affirms that Engineer's theology of peace is relevant in multicultural and multireligious contexts like Indonesia and can offer an alternative approach to resolving interfaith conflicts. Engineer's emphasis on dialogue and understanding among different faiths is crucial for enhancing harmony and reducing societal polarization.AbstrakArtikel ini mengeksplorasi konsep teologi perdamaian Islam dan kerukunan antaragama melalui pemikiran Asghar Ali Engineer, khususnya mengenai esensi Islam, teologi perdamaian, dan kerukunan antar agama. Artikel ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka dengan menganalisis karya-karya Engineer dan menginterpretasikannya. Asghar Ali Engineer, seorang ulama dan intelektual Muslim India, mengadvokasi perdamaian dan pluralisme dalam Islam, menekankan pentingnya Tauhid (Keesaan Allah) sebagai dasar untuk keadilan sosial dan perdamaian. Pendekatannya menggabungkan konsep teologi pembebasan, menekankan pentingnya membebaskan umat manusia dari penindasan dan ketidakadilan. Engineer menafsirkan Tauhid tidak hanya sebagai ritual agama tetapi sebagai struktur sosial yang mendorong kesetaraan dan perdamaian. Ia berargumen bahwa perdamaian sejati dalam Islam melibatkan penghormatan terhadap keragaman agama dan penghapusan paksaan dalam beragama. Kajian ini menegaskan  bahwa teologi perdamaian Engineer relevan dalam konteks multikultural dan multireligius seperti di Indonesia dan dapat menjadi pendekatan alternatif untuk mengatasi konflik antar agama. Penekanan Engineer pada dialog dan pemahaman antar agama yang berbeda sangat penting untuk meningkatkan kerukunan dan mengurangi polarisasi masyarakat.

Abstract

This article explores the practice of 'Khuruj fi Sabilillah' by Jamaah Tabligh in Desa Perapat Hilir, employing qualitative methods including observations, open-ended interviews with 8 respondents, and documentation. The study identifies two main groups within the Jamaah Tabligh in the village: the Syuro Alami and MS (Maulana Saad) groups, with the former being more dominant. Their activities, deeply rooted in Islamic teachings, encompass various forms of outreach and community development, emphasizing the importance of communal prayer and Islamic observance. The practice of Khuruj fi Sabilillah in Desa Perapat Hilir is characterized by two approaches: first, conducting preaching activities within their localities, utilizing mosques as their base and center for preaching, and second, engaging in external preaching activities, which include jaulah (touring), bayan (sermons), ijtima’ (congregations), ta'lim (religious education), and musyawarah (consultations). The theological values underpinning their activities focus on concepts like faith in Allah, the unity of God, divine predestination, human free will, divine justice, and eschatological beliefs. These values reflect how faith and religious principles influence daily life choices and practices.AbstrakArtikel ini mengkaji praktik 'Khuruj fi Sabilillah' oleh Jamaah Tabligh di Desa Perapat Hilir.

Abstract

Haji Ahmad Laksamana, a controversial figure known through his work “Hakikat Insan”, is often considered deviant from traditional Islamic teachings, particularly regarding the use of Sharia and Tariqa as well as interpretations of the Quran. This article aims to describe the thoughts and Quranic interpretation methodology of Haji Ahmad Laksamana. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature analysis approach. The primary source is the text “Hakikat Insan,” supplemented by various secondary sources, including journals and relevant books. The study finds that Haji Ahmad Laksamana's teachings emphasize the recognition of the essence of knowledge to achieve the level of Insan Kamil Mukamil. His thoughts, reflected in discussions about the relationship between humans and Allah, the dignity of the soul, the essence of the testimony of faith, as well as concepts of Islam, faith, monotheism, and gnosis, demonstrate a unique approach. However, his interpretation method, such as translating Quranic verses into symbols, has sparked controversy and is considered deviant from traditional Islamic understanding. Haji Ahmad Laksamana's controversial ideas are viewed as contradictory to Islamic teachings, diminishing the honor of the Quran and Hadith.AbstrakHaji Ahmad Laksamana, seorang figur kontroversial yang dikenal melalui karyanya “Hakikat Insan”  sering kali dianggap menyimpang dari ajaran Islam tradisional, terutama dalam hal penggunaan syariat dan tarekat serta penafsiran Al-Quran. Artikel ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan tentang pemikiran, dan metodologi penafsiran Al-Quran Haji Ahmad Laksamana.  Kajian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan analisis kepustakaan. Sumber utama adalah teks “Hakikat Insan” serta berbagai sumber sekunder termasuk jurnal dan buku yang relevan. Kajian ini menemukan bahwa ajaran Haji Ahmad Laksamana menitikberatkan pada pengenalan ilmu hakikat untuk mencapai tingkat Insan Kamil Mukamil. Pemikirannya yang tertuang dalam pembahasan mengenai hubungan manusia dengan Allah, martabat nafsu, hakikat syahadat, serta konsep Islam, iman, tauhid, dan makrifat, menunjukkan pendekatan yang unik. Namun, metode interpretasinya, seperti penerjemahan ayat Al-Quran ke dalam simbol, telah menimbulkan kontroversi dan dianggap menyimpang dari pemahaman Islam tradisional. Pemikiran Haji Ahmad Laksamana yang kontroversial dianggap bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam dan mengurangi kehormatan Al-Quran dan hadis.

Abstract

Arkoun tried to suggest or introduce anachronistic as the beginning of the new Islamic model era. The representative Arab world of Islam does not recognize the world of anachronisms to accept the presence of the activities and creativity of modernity today. The essence of modernity is in fact necessary only in the methodology of open-minded Islamic societies, not converting Muslims to the Islamic worldview. Rethinking, reconstruction and renewal in the modern era are regarded as Islamic opposition due to the application of anachronisms changing the new order of Islam. Anachronism aims to devour Islamic turats (Islamic traditions) but is trapped in Islamic criticism. Islam Kaffah (Islamic perfectionist) will be brought into Islam al-yassar (Islamic Left). An anachronistic deliberation of the approaches used in the past issue of excavation of legal finalization will change according to modernity. Anachronism have been placed modernity as the creation of the advancement of all sides of human life with unlimited activities, creativity and ethos.AbstrakArkoun mencoba mensugestikan atau memperkenalkan anakronistik sebagai dimulainya era model Islam baru. Dunia Arab yang representatif Islam tidak mengenal adanya dunia anakronisme untuk menerima kehadiran aktifitas dan kreatifitas modernitas sekarang. Essensi modernitas sejatinya dibutuhkan hanya dalam metodologi membuka akal masyarakat Islam, bukan mengubah Muslim terhadap worldview Islam. Rethinking, rekonstruction dan renewal di era modern dianggap sebagai oposisi Islam akibat aplikasi anakronisme merubah tatanan baru keIslaman. Anakronisme bertujuan membaguskan turats Islam (tradisi Islam) namun terjebak dalam kritik Islam. Islam kaffah akan digiring ke dalam Islam al-yassar (Islam Kiri). Delibrasi anakronistik terhadap pendekatan-pendekatan yang digunakan pada masalah lalu tersebut tentang penggalian finalisasi hukum akan berubah sesuai modernitas. Anakronisme menempatkan modernitas sebagai penciptaan kemajuan semua sisi kehidupan manusia dengan berbagai aktifitas, kreatifitas dan ethos yang tanpa batas.
