Abstract

This paper aims to study and prove how the religious behavior of coastal Lamongan people in a dynamic society in search of a religious model that can provide worldly happiness and ukhrowi, using Max Weber's theoretical approach in looking at the purpose of actions taken by someone with diverse motives. Religious behavior is certainly inseparable from factors from within a person or from outside, including figures who become role models of society. Therefore, there will be a variety of religions, ranging from exclusive and inclusive. This research found that two religious organizations -Muhammadiyah and NU- which have been considered well established in The Lamongan Coast, apparently experienced changes in gaining trust related to solving the problem of immorality. Therefore, coastal communities that tend to be dynamic, try to find self-satisfaction by learning to draw closer to their Lord (Allah), by following the religious activities of new groups outside Muhammadiyah and NU. The intersubjective religious model implemented by this new group was able to open up and be accepted among the people of Lamongan Coast.

Abstract

The presence of philosophy in society is still widely questioned because it is considered capable of undermining beliefs, leading astray, and even having no benefits. The negative view of society towards philosophy is due to the religious and devout culture of the community. However, the development of education, especially at State Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKIN) and the establishment of Aqidah and Islamic Philosophy Department, it has given rise to philosophers within the student community at PTKIN. Moreover, the unique behavior of philosophy enthusiasts often attracts attention within the PTKIN student community, prompting researchers to examine the perceptions of philosophy enthusiasts regarding the dimension of religiosity in the midst of Indonesia's predominantly religious and devout cultural environment. This research employs a qualitative approach using Glock and Stark's theory on the dimensions of religiosity. The results show that the perceptions of philosophy activists at PTKIN regarding religiosity encompass three aspects. First, of aqidah, philosophy activists may become doubtful about their beliefs or, conversely, strengthen their faith, as well as cleanse impure religious doctrines. Second, in terms of worship, the non-performance of religious rituals is not solely caused by philosophy, but there are other factors at play. Third, morality or akhlak, philosophy has a positive impact on the behavior of philosophy activists.

Abstract

This paper investigates how interfaith dialogue discourse is now developing significantly with the role of social media and youth. Based on online research and virtual ethnography, this paper argues that creatively utilizing social media with involving youth as media-savvy is the main factor in significantly increasing the acceptance of interfaith dialogue discourse. In-depth content analysis with a focus on interfaith dialogue through YouTube podcasts reveals several strategies applied by the creator. This paper highlights several strategies, namely using hashtag and maximizing thumbnail, propagating podcasts with clickbait titles, consistenly uploading content, and connecting with other platforms. In addition, youth involvement also plays an important role in achieving significant interfaith dialogue such as by engaging them with humor and comedy, eye-catching appearance and millennial style, and visual persuasion. Finally, great acceptability achieved by interfaith podcasts on youtube has proven the existence of religious inclusivity in Indonesia.

Abstract

The contestation of conversation about the Baha'i religious group in Indonesia continues from time to time. In valuable retrospect, there has been much debate that characterizes the existence of the Baha'i group. As a result, it is very unfortunate that there are many frictions caused by socio-religious friction in the social sphere. This has led to many assumptions about religious freedom in Indonesia, which are increasingly showing a repressive trend. The author is interested in analyzing the various frictions that arise between the gaps in religious plurality in Indonesia, both pragmatic and paradigmatic. In addition, the author wants to examine how the role of the government can break the deadlock of friction. The research was conducted with a qualitative analysis oriented toward a literature review and Maqasid Syariah as a theoretical perception. Exploration research focuses on various phenomena that occur around the presence of Baha'is in Indonesia and how potential conflicts can arise in them. This research proves that the state needs to be present to accommodate various religions and coexist by prioritizing the concept of benefit for all citizens. In addition, the role of society in maintaining multicultural values must be initiated more intensely and in a dialogical manner.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the role of religious moderation to improving the morale of the millennial generation and helping them become better people. This study used a descriptive-qualitative research methodology. Research data were collected through interviews with questionnaires, non-participant observations, and documentation. The study informants numbered 10 participants (7 men and 3 women) aged 24 to 30 years. Research findings show that diversity can lead to various conflicts if society cannot find a middle ground for everything. These problems can be solved with religious tolerance and moderation to create peace and harmony in society. People who do not have knowledge of religious moderation and good religious foundations will have morals that are not in accordance with religious values, for example, drug addiction and bullying. Both actions are basically driven by environmental factors. In Islam, drugs and bullying are things that have a lot of mudharat, so it is forbidden to do so. However, those who are willing to leave both should not be excluded so that they feel that their change has the support of their surroundings. A society that has a strong knowledge base of religious moderation and faith will always embrace it so that a life of peace, tolerance, and mutual respect can be created.

Abstract

The rules and attitudes of Muslim worship during the Covid-19 pandemic are still continuously applied by the Masjid Gede Mataram Kotagede Yogyakarta in the post-pandemic period. Studies that have discussed this phenomenon focus on the adaptation and recovery process of religious activities, so they have not comprehensively discussed the rules and attitudes of post-pandemic Muslim worship. This study focuses on the question, "How are the rules and attitudes of worship chosen and implemented by Muslims in the post-pandemic?" This study uses a descriptive-qualitative approach conducted on the congregation/jama’ah, which actively practices the five daily prayers in the congregation of the post-pandemic. These Muslims were interviewed intensively to obtain data on the activities, rules, and attitudes of worship chosen and practised post-pandemic. This study shows that the post-pandemic worship rules and attitudes of Muslims can no longer return to normal in the new normal era because they are influenced by structural and cultural factors formed during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study recommends explaining post-pandemic Muslim worship rules and attitudes by interviewing more macro and comparative Muslim communities.

Abstract

Religion is present on earth to function as a medium to build harmony in life. On the other hand, life in this world is filled with people of different tribes, cultures, ethnicities, religions themselves, and the like. Thus, humanity needs an understanding and application of pluralism for such harmonization. This literature study article aims to reveal the urgency of pluralism according to six official religions in Indonesia. Data analysis uses content analysis by sorting data, classifying it, and analyzing it. The important findings of this study are as follows: First, the manifestation of pluralism is substantially in the form of an attitude of interconnection, which recognizes, appreciates, respects, maintains, and even develops or enriches plural conditions. Pluralism is very important to be used as a medium for building a harmonious life full of peace, harmony, and prosperity in a life of diverse cultures, tribes, nations, religions, ethnicities, and the like. Second, pluralism, in the view of the six official religions in Indonesia, can be used as a medium to build a harmonious life full of harmony and peace. However, local religions other than the six official religions are also very important to be used as a medium to build the intended harmonization. This is because all religions, both official religions and local religions, still have the principle to respect, honor, and maintain the existing diversity.

Abstract

The existence of religion on Earth has evolved into a means of socially and spiritually regulating norms and achieving harmony in life. Aside from that, humanity comes with racial, ethnic, linguistic, and religious diversity. Human thoughts and feelings evolve to build ethical interactions and empathy with other humans due to these differences. This article aims to demonstrate how Emmanuel Levinas' ethical theory entwines ties between Muslims and non-Muslims to establish nonviolent life training and a culture of peace at Peace Place Pati. For Levinas, ethics is about firsthand experience rather than right and wrong. This article presents field research using a phenomenological approach and a qualitative methodology. According to the study's findings, Muslims are aware of the need to put aside prejudice and listen to non-Muslim groups to build peaceful relationships based on understanding and the provision of a safe place. The significance of diversity and equality awareness in creating a welcoming and peaceful community where everyone is valued and given a place. This research aids in understanding the dynamics of interreligious relations in a particular environment.

Abstract

This article attempts to show Mulla Sadra’s model of realism by tracing it through his philosophical principles, especially the principle of Ittihad 'Aqil wa Ma'qul (subject-object unity). Furthermore, the study of the Sadra realism model, which is based on the principle of Ittihad 'Aqil wa Ma'qul, is presented to respond to fundamental epistemic-ontological issues, namely the relationship between the subject’s consciousness and external objects, in order to strengthen belief in the nature and existence of external reality, which is independent of contamination of the subject's mental decisions (mind-independent reality). How does the subject's consciousness relate to external objects? This problem is still an anxiety and has not been resolved by modern philosophers who focus on the discourse of perception, giving rise to various schools of realism, which are represented by two major schools: direct realism and indirect realism. By overcoming these epistemic problems, ultimately, this effort leads to the confirmation of Mulla Sadra's more original and comprehensive model of realism. This paper is attempted using a critical-analytical method, namely analyzing Mulla Sadra's philosophical ideas on the Ittihad 'Aqil wa Ma'qul principles and the views of modern realism by focusing on the issue of perception. The conclusions drawn from the results of the analysis of the Ittihad 'Aqil wa Ma'qul were used as a basis for responding to modern realism as well as an affirmation of Mulla Sadra's style of realism.

Abstract

This article discusses the fiqh learning model of traditional pesantren which according to Soekarno is a very old-fashioned and does not follow the spirit of the times, tends to be shackling, dichotomous, and has not placed religion and science in a balanced position. As a result of the fiqh taught in traditional dichotomous pesantren, santri are less able to adapt to change. The reason is because they learn fiqh that tends to: one, limit it to matters relating to worship to God and how to build relationships with fellow humans only, while the outside of this is not a priority; two, not built on scientific reasoning; three, perspectives that are mostly rigid (black and white); and four, teaching patterns that tend to be indoctrination and anti-criticism. This article is important to reveal Soekarno's criticism of the fiqh model in traditional pesantren, which still exists today. This type of study is a literature study whose data is obtained from literature studies. This study also can be classified in the category of historical-factual studies, while in terms of its approach, this study is qualitative, while the method is descriptive-interpretative with content, language, and concept analysis models, especially to discuss what Soekarno criticised in relation to the fiqh model in traditional pesantren.
