Abstract

This study examines religious phenomena that occur on social media platforms, especially YouTube, Twitter (X), Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram. The platform is a medium for spreading understanding of Salafi thought in Indonesia using a digital ethnographic approach. This article aims to understand the pattern of dissemination, interpretation, and acceptance of Salafi ideas in Indonesian society. The focus of the study includes aspects of content visibility, audience engagement, and ideological models that are raised. Data was obtained from the accounts of Indonesian Salafi figures who have a large following and reach a wide audience. This article focuses on audience engagement indicators such as user interaction, content dissemination and participatory responses analyzed with the theory of religious mediatization and digital religious authority. This study reveals how preachers adjust their da'wah strategies to increase the visibility and legitimacy of religious authority in the online space. This article contributes to the understanding of the relationship between religion and technology and the real impact of digital media on the formation of religious authority and participation in the context of Indonesian Islam.

Abstract

The New Atheism is emerging and becoming a global phenomenon, especially after 9/11, which was popularized by four well-known authors called the Four Horsemen. One of the new atheist figures, Sam Harris, wrote a book titled ‘The End of Faith Religion: Terror, and the Future of the Reason’ that contains critiques on religions, mainly Islam. Harris argues that Islam is dangerous because its Holy Book, the Qur’an, is thought to support jihad, which ultimately leads to acts of terrorism. Based on that, this study aims to critically analyze Sam Harris’s interpretation of theological sources of authority, specifically the Qur’an. This study using a qualitative research method and a hermeneutical approach. These data collection and analysis techniques allow more nuanced discussions on New Atheism as interpreted by Harris. This study argues that understanding religion requires philosophical, theological, and historical interpretation rather than solely a scientific or empirical lens. The findings of this study that Harris’ explanation about the Qur’an is superficial and misleading, primarily due to his limited understanding of Islam and the Qur’an itself. This study contributes to the development of Islamic science which can be studied in a multidisciplinary manner without ignoring the holy book as the main source

Abstract

Scholarly discourse on contemporary Muslim scholars has developed rapidly, both emerging from Islamic sources and adopted from other sources. The ideas of science are interesting subjects to be studied further, especially themes related to science and spirituality which are seen as separate from each other.This article examines the integration of knowledge and spirituality through a comparative analysis of the ideas of Ismail Raji al-Faruqi and Seyyed Hossein Nasr. The study aims to explain how both scholars understand the relationship between knowledge and spiritual values, as well as to identify their contributions to contemporary discourses on the integration of knowledge. This research employs a qualitative, library-based approach by collecting data from the primary works of both thinkers and relevant secondary academic literature, which are then analyzed using descriptive-comparative and interpretative methods. The findings show that al-Faruqi emphasizes the Islamization of knowledge as an epistemological framework rooted in the principle of tawhid, whereas Nasr highlights the importance of reviving sacred knowledge and metaphysical foundations as a response to the epistemic crisis of modernity. Both scholars reject the secular separation between knowledge and spirituality, yet they differ in methodological orientation: al-Faruqi focuses on epistemological reconstruction, while Nasr stresses the restoration of spiritual and metaphysical dimensions. The contribution of this research lies in its analytical and systematic comparative mapping of the two thinkers’ approaches to integrating knowledge and spirituality within the context of modern intellectual challenges.

Abstract

This study examines religious moderation as a theological and socio-religious strategy to prevent dehumanization in contemporary society. This stems from the rampant intolerance, radicalism, and erosion of human empathy that threaten the social order and global human values. The study aims to explain how the principles of religious moderation rooted in Islamic theology—such as ummatan wasathan (the universal welfare) and rahmatan lil 'alamin (the mercy for all the universe)—can function as a transformative paradigm for restoring human dignity. The method used is a qualitative study based on a literature review of 30 scientific articles published between 2018 and 2025 that discuss the relationship between moderation, humanization, and religious ethics. The results show that religious moderation is not merely a moral virtue but a theological imperative capable of suppressing the symptoms of dehumanization by strengthening the values of justice, tolerance, and universal humanity. In conclusion, religious moderation makes a significant contribution to strengthening social cohesion, fostering ethical interfaith dialogue, and building a just and peaceful civilization amidst the diversity of Indonesian and global societies. Keywords: religious moderation, dehumanization, Islamic theology, humanity, tolerance.
