Abstract

Divorce produces significant impacts on women and children as minority groups within patriarchal structures, particularly within Indonesia's plural legal system that integrates Islamic law, national law, and social practices. This research aims to analyze legal protection mechanisms for women and children as minority groups post-divorce in the Muslim community of Manado City, identify structural patriarchal factors that hinder the fulfillment of rights, analyze the intersectionality of oppression within the plural legal system, and evaluate the effectiveness of existing protection mechanisms. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this empirical juridical research integrates a framework for minority studies and structural patriarchal analysis. Primary data were obtained from 106 talaq divorce cases at Manado Religious Court in 2021, focusing on 15 reconvention cases and 46 complaint cases at the UPTD for Women and Child Protection. Data collection through document study, observation, and in-depth interviews was analyzed using thematic analysis. As many as 85.8% of cases were decided in absentia without the wife's presence, reflecting systemic marginalization. Hindering factors include limited legal knowledge, economic dependency, masculinity construction that avoids responsibility, and institutional monitoring vacuums. The reconvention mechanism shows 66.7% success, but is limited by unequal accessibility. Legal protection for women and children requires systemic transformation, integrating minority rights perspectives through strengthening integrated databases, rights-based legal aid, Family Court Monitoring Units, and intersectionality-based capacity building for law enforcement.

Abstract

The development of information and communication technology has produced both challenges and opportunities within multicultural education. While digital interaction may trigger social tension when users lack adaptability, it also offers potential to promote spiritual practice and religious tolerance. This study examines the role of WhatsApp groups as a medium for fostering tolerant behavior through collective Qur’an reading (tadarus). Using a qualitative approach, data were collected from 11 participants selected through purposive sampling and analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that participation in Qur’an reading groups enhances spiritual motivation, emotional calmness, positive attitudes, and habit formation. Participants also reported strengthened faith, acceptance of life circumstances, and improved subjective well-being. The study concludes that WhatsApp-based religious activities positively shape social and spiritual personality while supporting tolerant behavior in multicultural contexts.

Abstract

Islam was revealed by Allah SWT to regulate all forms of human behavior in relation to other humans to meet the needs of their lives in the world. This includes principles that govern economic turnover. In this case, one of the Islamic intellectuals, Ibn Taymiyah, has an interest in conceptualizing the economy through the Islamic religious approach. As for this study, using descriptive qualitative research, the researcher directly researched the books of Ibn Taimiyah and several other supporting literature. In this study, the researcher found that there are several concepts about Islamic economics, namely fair prices, and price regulations that have several clear divisions in accordance with the concept of Islamic economics according to Ibn Taymiyah

Abstract

The criminal offense of interception of electronic information constitutes a violation of privacy rights in digital communication as regulated in Indonesian positive law, particularly in the Information and Electronic Transaction Law (ITE Law). Illegal interception, or wiretapping without authorization, can result in violations of human rights and entail legal consequences for the perpetrator. From the perspective of Islamic criminal law, this action can also be categorized as an act that violates principles of justice, protection of individual honor, and the prohibition of tajassus (spying) as mentioned in the Qur'an and hadith. This research analyzes regulations regarding interception in Indonesian positive law and reviews their conformity with the principles of Islamic criminal law. Furthermore, this research also examines the implementation of these regulations in the context of Indonesia's multicultural society, which consists of diverse religions, ethnicities, and cultures, in order to assess the extent to which law enforcement can guarantee justice and protection of privacy rights for all levels of society. The findings indicate that both positive law and Islamic law equally emphasize protection of individual privacy rights and provide sanctions for parties who violate these rules. Therefore, there is a need for strengthening of regulations and oversight mechanisms to ensure that interception actions are only conducted within the limits permitted by law and for legitimate purposes, such as law enforcement and state security.

Abstract

Abstract The proliferation of cancel culture in the digital era has introduced new complexities in the social construction of victimhood and perpetration. These labels are often assigned rapidly, shaped more by public perception on social media than by formal legal mechanisms. This study employs a critical victimology lens to examine how victim and perpetrator narratives are constructed, circulated, and contested in digital spaces. Using qualitative discourse analysis of selected viral cases in Indonesia, the findings reveal that the identities of victims and perpetrators are fluid and contingent upon prevailing public narratives. These insights underscore the need for a justice system that is adaptive and reflective of evolving social dynamics in digital contexts. Keywords: critical victimology, cancel culture, social media, victim-perpetrator narratives, digital justice

Abstract

Previous studies on the Java War have focused primarily on military conflict and colonial punishment, paying limited attention to the post-war lives of Muslim exiles and the mechanisms of coexistence that emerged in exile destinations such as Minahasa. This article addresses that gap by examining how the exile of Kiai Modjo and his followers after the Java War (1825–1830) contributed to the formation of a Muslim minority community within a predominantly Christian social space. This study asks how did colonial exile function as a mechanism of governance, and through what social and institutional practices was coexistence negotiated in Minahasa? Drawing on colonial archival records, an Arabic Pegon manuscript, and oral traditions from Kampung Jawa Tondano, the article analyzes exile as both a strategy of colonial containment and an unintended process of minority-making. The findings argue that coexistence did not take the form of abstract pluralism, but emerged as a negotiated social practice shaped by settlement-making, religious institutionalization, economic activity, and inter-communal relations, including marriage and conversion. By reframing exile as a generative historical process, this article contributes to discussions on Muslim minorities, interfaith encounters, and identity negotiation in colonial Indonesia.

Abstract

The rise of radicalism and religious conservatism in Indonesia shows that multicultural nation-states are prone to social tensions when diversity values are not managed properly. Although various studies on maqashid al-shariah have discussed the dimension of al-Daruriyyat, there has been no study that systematically places hifz al-daulah as a component of daruriyyat in the context of a multicultural society and its implications for social harmony in Indonesia. This article aims to examine and analyse the urgency of hifdz al-daulah as part of maqashid shari'ah al-dharuriyah, as well as how hifdz al-daulah contributes to social harmonisation, thereby having implications for humanity and civilisation in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative library research approach with textual analysis of classical literature (al-Syathibi, al-Mawardi) and contemporary maqashid literature (Auda), as well as a study of modern multiculturalism. Thematic-argumentative textual analysis was used in data analysis techniques, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The results of the study show that the placement of hifz al-daulah as part of daruriyyat has an adequate theoretical basis when linked to the function of the state in maintaining social stability and preventing (mafsadah) in a pluralistic society. This finding confirms that protecting the state as an institution that manages diversity is a prerequisite for achieving social harmony. In practical terms, this study contributes to the formulation of maqashid-based public policy and the development of a multicultural Islamic discourse in Indonesia.

Abstract

The Islamic judicial system in Egypt has historically served as a central institution for the administration of justice based on Islamic law, particularly in matters of family law, inheritance, and civil dispute resolution. Over time, this system has undergone significant transformation influenced by political change, colonial intervention, and legal modernization, which reshaped its institutional structure, authority, and relationship with the modern state. Despite extensive scholarship on Islamic law and legal reform in Egypt, studies that systematically examine the historical development and institutional transformation of Islamic justice within the contemporary national legal framework remain limited. This study aims to analyze the evolution of the Islamic judicial system in Egypt by exploring its historical foundations, institutional changes, and integration into the modern state legal system. Employing a qualitative approach with historical-analytical methods, this research examines classical Islamic legal texts, Egyptian legislation, and relevant scholarly literature. The findings indicate that Islamic justice in Egypt has experienced substantial transformation through legal codification and the establishment of national courts, while maintaining the substantive role of Sharia principles, particularly in personal status law. This study highlights the ongoing negotiation between Islamic legal tradition and modern legal governance in contemporary Egypt.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the language and cultural adaptation process of non-Javanese students at the Mambaus Sholihin Islamic Boarding School, Gresik, East Java. The focus of the study includes: (1) language adaptation in daily communication, (2) cultural adjustment to the norms, traditions, and rhythm of Islamic boarding school life, (3) the role of social support from peers, administrators, and ustadz, and (4) adaptation challenges experienced by students in the initial phase of boarding. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participatory observation, and documentation of six non-Javanese students as primary informants and three ustadz as supporting informants, who were selected purposively. Data analysis was carried out using an interactive model that includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that non-Javanese students face initial difficulties in the form of limited basic facilities, Javanese language barriers, academic difficulties in learning Pegon-based yellow books, and adjustment to the strict Islamic boarding school discipline system. However, the adaptation process is gradual and shows positive developments through peer support, guidance from administrators, and the adaptive and inclusive pedagogical approach of the ustadz. These findings confirm that Islamic boarding schools serve as spaces for cultural integration and character development for students. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of responsive mentoring and communication strategies to support the adaptation of new students within the context of Islamic Religious Education.

Abstract

This paper is motivated by the problem of education development in Indonesia in the contemporary era, which overemphasizes competitive aspects but ignores aspects of multiculturalism and feminist ethics. This is certainly not in line with the principles of diversity that are embraced and will have an impact on the formation of characters that are exclusive, radical, give birth to various other socio-cultural deviations, and are not gender-friendly. This study aims to investigate the idea of multicultural education based on feminist ethics from Marilyn Friedman's point of view and assess its applicability to Islamic education in Indonesia. Employing a descriptive-analytical approach, the research draws primarily on Marilyn Friedman’s philosophical works, complemented by secondary sources such as books, academic journal articles, and relevant online materials discussing her ideas. The findings indicate that feminist ethics provides strong support for contemporary educational orientations that increasingly emphasize multiculturalism. Friedman conceptualizes this approach through several key stages: first, the articulation of feminist ethical justifications as the normative foundation of multicultural education; second, the continued integration of feminist ethics within multicultural curricula, emphasizing that multicultural education should actively address gender-based oppression, subordination, and marginalization rather than merely promoting awareness of diversity; and third, the necessity of critically resisting forms of moral arrogance originating from patriarchal, cultural, or religious frameworks in order to enhance the quality and inclusivity of multicultural education.
