Abstract

This study examines the production of intra-Muslim social cohesion in Tenjowaringin Village, Tasikmalaya Regency, where members of Jemaat Ahmadiyah Indonesia (JAI) constitute a local demographic majority while remaining marginalized at the national and provincial levels. It investigates how residents negotiate theological boundaries, which everyday institutions sustain cooperation, and how state regulation and external mobilization shape local coexistence. This qualitative case study was conducted through multiple field visits between June 2025 and March 2026. Data were generated through face-to-face interviews with seven participants, including village officials, JAI figures, an NU cleric, a youth representative, non-JAI residents, and two women participants; field observation; and analysis of village documents. Interviews lasted approximately one hour, were recorded and documented, and were subsequently checked with key participants. The findings identify five interrelated mechanisms: the pragmatic bracketing of doctrinal disagreement; the activation of Sundanese moral idioms and gotong royong; cross-affiliation kinship; economic interdependence; and the role of religious leaders and the village government in normalizing cooperation. Cohesion in Tenjowaringin is not the absence of theological difference but an ongoing negotiated social compact. The village head estimated that approximately 3,500 of 5,362 residents were affiliated with JAI, demonstrating that majority-minority positions shift across scale: JAI is locally influential yet structurally vulnerable. The article develops negotiated cohesion as a form of hybrid solidarity that combines cultural habitus, bonding and bridging social capital, and lived religion.

Abstract

This article studies how Indonesian state documents on religious moderation, published between 2019 and 2024, turn the Islamic ethical concept of Wasaṭiyahinto administrative language. In Islamic thought, Wasaṭiyahmeans balance, justice, and the middle path. In Indonesian policy, religious moderation now appears as indicators, roadmaps, training programs, and evaluation procedures. The study uses qualitative library research and critical document analysis to read a set of official texts, including Ministry of Religious Affairs publications, national planning documents, ministerial regulations, and Presidential Regulation No. 58 of 2023. It does not ask whether these policies succeed or fail. Instead, it asks how official texts define acceptable religiosity and how that definition becomes something the state can govern. The main argument is that the state turns Wasaṭiyahfrom a broad ethical ideal into a bureaucratic framework built on four indicators: national commitment, tolerance, anti-violence, and accommodation of local culture. Through this process, the documents picture an ideal religious citizen who is loyal to the nation, tolerant, non-violent, and open to local culture. They also mark out an “immoderate” other, linked to extremism, intolerance, and anti-national attitudes.

Abstract

This study examines how Instagram content characteristics shape audience engagement in Islamic philanthropy, using BAZNAS Indonesia as a case. A quantitative content analysis was conducted on 544 organic posts published by @baznasindonesia from January to May 2025. Post type, publication timing, message interactivity, and post appeal were manually coded, and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) models were estimated for log-transformed likes and comments. Entertainment appeal significantly increased likes (β = 1.451, p = 0.015) and comments (β = 2.176, p = 0.002). Posts published on public holidays received more likes (β = 0.441, p = 0.004), whereas images (β = −0.277, p = 0.015) and Reels (β = −0.510, p < 0.001) generated fewer likes than carousels. Message interactivity was not significant for either likes (p = 0.388) or comments (p = 0.365). The study contributes to Islamic communication and digital-philanthropy scholarship by showing that engagement is shaped not simply by calls to action, but by the interaction between format, timing, and ethically framed edutainment. It proposes a sharia-based edutainment strategy that combines attention-generating content with truthful, educational, dignified, and non-exploitative communication.

Abstract

This paper examines the epistemology of Islamic boarding school (pesantren) religious knowledge in 19th-century Java and positions it as a historical source in the study of Indonesian Islamic history. Historiography has traditionally positioned Islamic boarding schools as socio-religious objects, while their scholarly traditions have rarely been read as producers of historical knowledge. Through an intellectual history and philosophy of science approach, this study attempts to dissect the epistemic tradition of Islamic boarding schools, encompassing the sanad-based system of knowledge transmission, the scholarly authority of kyai (Islamic scholars), the use of kitab kuning, and learning practices such as talaqqi (religious teachings) and bandongan (religious recitation). The results demonstrate that Islamic boarding school religious knowledge has a well-established epistemological foundation, internal validation mechanisms, and historical continuity that can be scientifically justified. In the Javanese context, specifically in the 19th century, this epistemic tradition not only functioned as a medium for transmitting religious teachings but also recorded the traces of intellectuals, networks of ulama (Islamic scholars), and scholarly responses to the dynamics of colonialism. Therefore, the epistemology of Islamic boarding school religious knowledge can be positioned as a legitimate historical source. This paper expands the conception of history and offers a critique of the limitations of the positivistic historiographic approach in writing the history of Islam in Indonesia.

Abstract

In order to assess the quality of justice in managing viral criminal cases in Indonesia, this study creates an integrated analytical framework that takes into account digital public pressure, institutional communication, law enforcement independence, and Jinayah norms. This study examines the chain causal relationship from digital pressure to institutional response and its impact on the independence of law enforcement through the evaluative lens of Islamic criminal law principles using a qualitative literature review socio-legal through content analysis and conceptual analysis. The findings of the analysis indicate that: (1) public digital pressure has a significant impact on the speed and direction of legal responses, but frequently at the expense of objectivity and due process; (2) institutional communication acts as a weak mediator because it is reactive and has not yet been integrated with normative principles; (3) social media trials threaten officials' independence by undermining the presumption of innocence; and (4) the Jinayah principles of procedural justice, dignity protection, maslahah, and ta’zir limitation by legitimate authorities have not yet been operationalised as empirical indicators in the current digital-legal literature. By employing Jinayah as a normative evaluative matrix within the framework of digital public pressure, institutional communication, office holders independence, and the quality of justice, this study closes the research gap. In order to preserve a balance between public accountability and legal integrity in the digital age, it is implied that proactive institutional communication strategies must be rebuilt and Jinayah principles must be included into operational standards for managing viral cases.

Abstract

This study analyzes the traditional Banten Javanese marriage rituals as a space through the perspective of Maqāṣid al-Shariah to understand the relationship between local customs and Islamic normativity. The approach used is socio-legal, combining legal analysis with a social perspective, as well as Maqāṣid al-Shariah to evaluate the alignment of customary rituals with the objectives of Islamic law. Data were collected through interviews with religious leaders in Banten and a literature review on traditional marriage and Maqāṣid al-Shariah. Data analysis utilized a qualitative descriptive method with stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the traditional Banten Javanese marriage rituals, such as nakoni, mastikaken, seserahan, maca syaikh, akad nikah, sungkeman, yalil, saweran, tarik bakakak, marhaban, and ngalih turu, contain Islamic values such as deliberation, prayer, respect for parents, consent of the bride and groom, social solidarity, and strengthening family ties. However, some customary practices may potentially become a social-economic burden or be understood in a magical context, which risks contradicting Islamic principles. From the Maqāṣid al-Shariah perspective, these rituals are acceptable as long as they preserve religion, life, intellect, offspring, and wealth, and do not conflict with the principles of tawhid, rationality, justice, and simplicity. This study provides an understanding of traditional rituals in alignment with Maqāṣid al-Shariah principles and emphasizes the importance of reconstructing the understanding of customs to ensure that marriage traditions remain preserved as a cultural identity while being in harmony with Islamic principles and social welfare.

Abstract

Research on Islam–science integration in education has often remained both normative and school-bound: it affirms the compatibility of revelation and scientific knowledge but rarely explains how classroom integration may reshape knowledge practices, authority, and public ethics in Muslim society. This article addresses that problem through a critical integrative review of 26 peer-reviewed publications issued between 2011 and July 2026. Sources were located through Crossref, ERIC, DOAJ, and Google Scholar, while foundational works on Islam, science relations, Muslim schooling, and maqāṣid al-shariah were used as supplementary analytical lenses. The synthesis identifies four modes of integration: additive-textual, interdisciplinary-curricular, ethical-teleological, and critical-transformative. Additive verse-matching is accessible but rarely alters how evidence, interpretation, or authority is evaluated. Stronger approaches link disciplinary methods, ethical purposes, teacher collaboration, community-facing inquiry, and multidimensional assessment. The review argues that schools can contribute to the epistemic transformation of Muslim society when learning strengthens scientific literacy, responsible engagement with Islamic sources, public reasoning, and the capacity to address shared problems. Islamic law is positioned as a normative framework for protecting intellect, life, dignity, and public benefit, not as a substitute for scientific validation. A five-layer framework is proposed: epistemic orientation, maqasid-based public purpose, curricular coherence, inquiry with social circulation, and digital governance with assessment. The article thereby connects school reform to Muslim-society research without claiming social effects that the current evidence cannot yet establish.
