Abstract

The debate over non-religious music in Islam reflects an epistemological polarization in Indonesia's digital space, represented by Yufid TV and Bincang Syariah. Yufid TV based on a literal Salafi interpretation, rejecting music by referring to the Islamic doctrine of the hadith. This study aims to investigate how Islamic authority is negotiated through discourse on non-religious music across two prominent digital platforms, Yufid TV and Bincang Syariah.com. Methodologically, it employs Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine the textual, discursive, and socio-cultural dimensions of how both platforms construct, disseminate, and legitimize religious interpretation within the digital public sphere. The findings reveal that Yufid TV constructs a puritan discourse grounded in literalist interpretation, portraying music as a deviation from the purity of Islamic teachings. In contrast, Bincang Syariah adopts a contextual and maqaṣid-oriented approach, framing music as an ethical and cultural expression. Audience responses demonstrate a significant epistemological polarization, reflecting the broader transformation of religious authority from traditional institutions to digital spaces. Academically, this article contributes to contemporary Islamic studies by bridging discourse analysis and digital religion research, highlighting how online media functions as a new arena for ijtihad and the negotiation of religious legitimacy within modern Muslim societies

Abstract

The debate on the use of knowledge sources in writing Islamic history is widely debated by scholars, both Muslims and non-Muslims. However, there is a stigmatized aspect that is forgotten to be used as a source of historical purification, namely the irfani area. This article aims to examine irfani epistemology as a methodological basis in writing Islamic history. The focus of this study is to examine the limitations of the positivistic-empirical method in reconstructing objective Islamic history, the position of manuscripts, chronicles, and oral traditions in the classification of primary historical sources, and transcendental interviews as an alternative source criticism method. The method used in this study is library research with a qualitative approach. This study reveals how the irfani approach can be an alternative method in writing Islamic history in the archipelago. This article contributes to strengthening comprehensive methods and approaches to writing Islamic history. Transcendental interviews can be used as an alternative source criticism method to verify the originality and validity of information in manuscripts, chronicles, and oral traditions. This article contributes to the development of sources of Islamic history writing with irfani approaches and methods that are in direct contact with authoritative societies

Abstract

The phenomenon of workers in factories has become a real reality. Women as a living entity have become part of the family's economic life, but the spirit of work for women is part of religious expression. Work ethic, religion and regulations are part of the life of women factory workers in Kudus. This research aimed to observe the religious spirit embedded inside work ethic of female workers at PT. Rokok Djarum Kudus and the relationship of work ethic with religious fanatics that are part of women's lives. According to Sjafri Sairin's economic exchange and Mudrajad Kuntjoro's work ethic theories by qualitative analysis cross collected data by interviews, observations with purposive sampling, and documentation are the main parts of the study’s exploration. The research findings show that the very strict regulations from the company do not make them give up on their work but remain enthusiastic about building a productive work ethic. The work ethic of these female workers is evident in their daily factory work and their religious practices, both at work and at home. These female workers are able to provide a decent living for their families and the companies they work for.

Abstract

The effectiveness of new media has transformed Islamic preaching into the digital space, creating a new landscape for Islamic discourse. This phenomenon occurs in the post-truth era, when emotions and subjective beliefs influence public opinion more than facts. Hidayatullah.com, a popular Islamic portal among Indonesian Muslims, actively produces Islamic narratives. However, the texts it publishes often reflect certain ideological interests and social positions. This study examines the relationship between power and ideology in Hidayatullah.com's representation of Islam. The study employs Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach, enriched with Foucault's readings. Data were obtained through a literature review of Islamic-themed texts in the portal's article section. The results show that Hidayatullah.com functions as a discursive agent that frames Islamic issues in a way that reinforces conservative ideology. The portal uses discourse to reinforce religious narratives and identities in line with its ideological orientation. This study contributes to a critical understanding of the formation of religious meaning and authority in the post-truth era.

Abstract

The phenomenon of delegitimization of minority Muslims has become a problem in religious life in Indonesia. Violence, intimidation and division are commonplace. This phenomenon will be seen from the point of view of analytic philosophy. This article aims to examine the chronology of the destruction of places of worship, the main causes of destruction, the inner experiences of the victims, and the pattern of conflict resolution that has been implemented. This article uses Wittgenstein's theory of truth claims, religious exclusivism, and language games. This study analyzes the roots of conflict, the mechanisms of delegitimization, and its impact on social cohesion. This study shows that the conflicts experienced by the Indonesia Institute of Islamic Dawah (LDII) are not solely triggered by doctrinal differences, but are the result of interactions between minority exclusivism, the claims of the majority's truth, social delegitimization, and the failure of inclusive dialogue. The accusation of heresy reflects the struggle for interpretive authority within the Muslim community. With Wittgenstein's framework of language games, differences in teachings are understood as expressions of different ways of life so that they cannot be the basis for misdirection. Therefore, conflict resolution demands an egalitarian dialogue that recognizes the plurality of religious experience and rejects claims of a single truth.
When a Philosopher Refutes Philosophy: The Condition of Ambivalence in Ibn Khaldun’s Refutation of Philosophy

Abstract

This article examines Ibn Khaldun’s refutation of philosophy. This refutation is confusing because of his position as a prominent Muslim philosopher. How can a philosopher refute philosophy? In a broader context, Ibn Khaldun’s refutation warrants study because he represents the position of a philosopher-cum-religious figure amid a latent conflict between the rational-philosophical and scriptural-religious perspectives. This article aims to fill the gap in studies regarding Ibn Khaldun’s attitude towards philosophy, which has thus far focused more on his refutation and neglected the relationship between his refutation and his acceptance. To achieve this goal, qualitative research was conducted on Ibn Khaldun’s works along with other writings from journal articles, books, and online literature discussing this topic. Data analysis was carried out using a productive hermeneutic approach to generate a new understanding of his refutation. The research indicates that Ibn Khaldun not only refuted but also accepted philosophy. His stance reveals a persistent condition of ambivalence toward several fundamental philosophical issues. In Ibn Khaldun’s thought, this condition of ambivalence operates as both a discursive and an epistemological strategy, enabling the integration of a rational–philosophical worldview with a scriptural–religious one. Framing his position through this lens of ambivalence, which is advanced in this article as a distinctive analytical perspective, offers a fresh and nuanced understanding of his engagement with philosophy. In the broader context, this perspective of ambivalence serves as a fresh interpretive framework for understanding the refutation of philosophy in the Islamic world, particularly as articulated by a philosopher-cum-religious figure.
