Abstract

The research aim is to discuss the relationship between philosophy and religion in the thought of Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur), framed within the context of post-secularism. Gus Dur challenges the problem of the rigid dichotomy between philosophy and religion and then encourages an inclusive and dialogical approach through philosophical concepts, consisting of “Pancasila”, “Neo-Modernism and Utilitarianism”, and “Islamic Society”. Gus Dur viewed religion and philosophy as having the potential to mutually enrich and advance social life mutually. The research uses a qualitative method and a philosophical approach to examine how Gus Dur’s thinking can be understood within the framework of post-secularism in the context of Indonesia. This research seeks to illuminate how Gus Dur’s ideas contribute to redefining the relationship between religion and philosophy in the post-secular landscape of Indonesia by bridging spiritual and rational realms. Gus Dur views religion and philosophy not as opposing realms but as two ways of understanding truth. In his view, religion provides meaning and purpose in life, while philosophy offers tools for critical and rational thinking about life’s problems. He rejects secularism, which separates religion from the public sphere and proposes a post-secularism approach that recognizes the role of religion in public life while still respecting the values of rationality.

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

This article analyzes the dynamics of the mediatization of religious fatwas concerning alms (philanthropy) in Indonesia, identifying patterns and changes in the delivery and acceptance of fatwas since the post-Soeharto reform era. The main focus of this article is how media not only serve as channels of information but also act as agents shaping religious narratives. The process of mediatization shows a significant shift in how fatwas are received and practiced by the people. This shift reflects changes in public perceptions of the obligation to give alms and the responses of the ulama. Using a qualitative approach and discourse analysis techniques, this study distinguishes three emerging discursive positions: full acceptance of fatwas through media, adaptation of fatwas to modern media contexts, and rejection of the mediatization of fatwas. The article concludes that the mediatization of fatwas concerning alms highlights the inability of traditional views to persist without adaptation in the context of modern media in present-day Indonesia.

Abstract

The phenomenon of "Marriage is Scary" among Indonesian Muslim youth reflects the level of anxiety about the institution of marriage, despite its foundational status in Islamic theology as a sacred covenant (mithaq ghaliz) and act of worship. This study explores the theological underpinnings of these fears and examines how young Muslims reconcile divine principles with contemporary life challenges. Using a qualitative method, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 unmarried participants who reported anxiety or reluctance toward marriage. Thematic analysis revealed four primary factors: negative familial experiences, economic insecurity, fear of personal constraint, and exposure to negative narratives via social media. While participants acknowledged theological teachings—such as reliance on Allah (Q.S. At-Talaq: 2–3) and marriage as a Sunnah—many found these ideals difficult to apply in practice due to structural and emotional barriers. Rather than positioning Islamic theology as a prescriptive solution, the study highlights its potential as a reflective framework through which youth navigate moral ambivalence, spiritual doubt, and social transitions. The findings call for a renewed engagement with Islamic theology that addresses relational fears not only through doctrinal affirmation but through lived, contextual interpretation. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how Islamic theological discourse interacts with personal and societal anxieties, offering a more grounded approach to addressing fears of marriage among Muslim youth in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to examine moderate theology in understanding the Prophet's hadith especially the tolerance hadith narrated by Ahmad. This article aims to reveal the phenomenon of theological studies developing in universities and Islamic boarding schools, which are centres of Islam in Indonesia. The methodology used is a case study with a qualitative approach, involving questionnaires, interviews, and documentation of students and caregivers of partner pesantren state Islamic University K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan. The results showed that the understanding of the hadith of tolerance plays an important role in shaping inclusive and moderate attitudes among santri. The hadith is applied as a foundation to reject extremism, promote interfaith dialog, and support harmony in diversity. Moreover the understanding of the universality of Muhammad's message in partner pesantren strengthens religious moderation in local and global contexts. This study contributes to the phenomenon of comprehensive hadith interpretation as a moderate theological basis for Muslims.

Abstract

The recognition of the need to tackle sustainability concerns has grown in recent years, leading to increased worldwide attention on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The objective of this study is to examine the function of Zakat and Waqf as described in the literature on Islamic economics and finance. Google Scholar indexed articles on these themes were chosen for comprehensive coverage, including those written in Bahasa Indonesia. A total of 527 English articles and 174 Bahasa articles were chosen by employing appropriate keywords. In order to organize the debate and address the research topic, bibliometric and content analyses were performed. The results were then divided based on the language of the articles, Bahasa Indonesia and English, in order to discover any potential variations. The Harzing Publish or Perish software was utilized for data gathering, VosViewer was employed for bibliometric analysis, and Atlas.ti was utilized to facilitate content analysis. The bibliometric analysis revealed that Zakat and Waqf significantly influence the literature related to sustainability issues in Islamic economics. The content study demonstrated that Zakat and Waqf, which are firmly established in Islamic principles, make a distinctive contribution to sustainability by fostering social justice and conscientious resource utilization, aligning with the ideals of the Sustainable Development Goals.

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.
