Abstract

This study discusses the efforts of majlis taklim management to instill a clean-living attitude and behavior in combating corrupt practices during political years, including local contests such as regional elections. Furthermore, it is considered important because the majlis taklim congregation consists of individuals constantly nurtured mentally and spiritually through long and regular periods of guidance. In the context of Metro City, there are suspicions of a high prevalence of pragmatic political behavior during campaigns. Therefore, the central concern revolves around the clarity of the role and roadmap of a majlis taklim managed by the DKM (mosque management board) in promoting sound political morality and its potential to diminish the prevalence of money politics during regional elections. This study takes the form of a qualitative and descriptive analysis approach, using interviews and questionnaires as the main data sources distributed to the managers and congregation members. The findings indicate that the majlis taklim in Metro City has regular studies cultivating social morality during elections. However, these initiatives are not yet integrated into a standardized printed curriculum that can serve as a comprehensive reference. A majlis taklim congregation is a group of people who are not easily swayed by money politics during regional elections but some members are still inclined towards such practices.

Abstract

Based on the Digital Civility Index (DCI), Indonesian internet users are ranked at the lowest position within Southeast Asia in terms of their Digital Civility Index. This observable trend is closely associated with the proliferation of fake information, hate speech, cyberbullying, discriminatory behavior, and instances of fraud. Additionally, the process of modernization has significantly increased the consumptive tendencies within people's lifestyles. It is essential to note that Indonesia, with the world's largest Muslim population, is deeply rooted in religious beliefs. The country is ready to face the coming era of what is known as the era of society 5.0. Therefore, this study analyzed the public perception among urban dwellers in Semarang, focusing on the role of religious education as an aspect of curriculum development in the era of Society 5.0. In this context, the qualitative analysis was conducted using a method of phenomenology to obtain data through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results showed that contextualization of the Islamic religious education curriculum was needed to suit the needs of society. Islamic religious education taught students the physical (shari'a) and the spiritual dimensions (essential) to improve spirituality for urban Muslim communities as a basis for values in everyday behavior. In this context, the education instilled the importance of monotheism and ethics in using technology. Even though the era of Society 5.0 placed humans at the center (anthropocentric), the concept of Islamic religious education instilled the notion of God remaining at the centre (theocentric).

Abstract

The application of Islamic law in Langsa City is currently still reaping the pros and cons, until now the application of Islamic law is not going well. Good communication is needed between the government and the people of Aceh to build harmony in the application of Islamic law. This article aims to analyze the communication model built by the Langsa City government for the Urban Muslim Society to socialize the implementation of Islamic law. This paper is generated from empirical research with a qualitative approach, the main data obtained from in-depth interviews with parties directly involved in policy-making and implementing Islamic law in Langsa City. The results of the study show that there are several communication models built by the Langsa City government in the application of Islamic law, including; First, the interpersonal communication model that focuses on a personal approach, so that the message that reaches the community is more concrete and there is no miscommunication; second, the mass communication model that focuses on the pattern of delivering messages through several media such as social media and print media. The use of social media and print media is very useful in disseminating Islamic law, although, on the one hand, the mass communication model carried out by the Langsa City government is not able to reach remote areas that cannot access information technology. The communication model is carried out as a form of government authority in the enforcement of Islamic law in Langsa City because when religion enters the state system, the implementing authority belongs to the government.

Abstract

This research aimed to explore the encounter of da'wah digitalization with urban Muslim culture. The attention on this topic was due to the concern about the dislocation of traditional da'wah activities because of the demands of a fluctuating, fast-paced, and dynamic urban culture associated with the transformation from conventional to digital media. A virtual ethnography approach was applied with the data collected through Google Trends and analyzed manually. The results showed that da'wah media, such as images, videos, memes, animations, and podcasts, was becoming a significant trend among netizens. The media was associated with speed, effectiveness, as well as time and cost efficiency in delivering da'wah messages, which was particularly relevant for urban Muslim with fast-paced and hectic lifestyles. Da'wah digitalization also reinforced the urban Muslim culture of instant religious fulfillment. However, the tendency to consume da'wah materials instantly was associated with the risk of disseminating inaccurate religious information and disrupting the fragmentation of religious authority. This showed the need for careful monitoring and management of digital da'wah content to ensure the quality and sustainability of balanced religious education in a dynamic urban context.

Abstract

As the majority religion, Islam in Indonesia is not directly proportional to Islamic values which should be displayed in the form of daily behaviour. Therefore, internalizing Islamic values, especially in the learning process in higher education, is of paramount important. Internalization of Islamic values is an aspect that is often overlooked in learning discussions, particularly in online learning. The issues raised in online learning discussions are more about methods and approaches in the learning process and very rarely to touch on the value aspect. In the context of Muhammadiyah higher education (PTM), instilling Islamic values as the core of its character education is a challenge for lecturers and students. In particular, those who live in urban areas which are full of challenges. This study explores challenges in internalizing Islamic values in digital learning at Muhammadiyah affiliated universities. Class observations and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 lecturers at three Muhammadiyah affiliated universities in Yogyakarta to garner an understanding of the internalization process and the challenges faced in this process. Data analysis was carried out using thematic analysis from Braun and Clarke. This study delineates that the process of internalizing Islamic values in the universities was still limited to the level of transformation and value transactions and has not yet touched on trans-internalization of values. This is because there are four main challenges faced, namely technical, pedagogical, psychological and semantic challenges. The implications and factors related to these four challenges are discussed in more depth in this paper.
