Abstract

Discussing Suhrawardī, certainly, cannot be separated from his concept of thinking about illumination (ḥikmat ishrāqiyyat), which has contributed to the foundation of human knowledge and awareness. The research question in this paper is how esotericism in Shihāb ad-Dīn Suhrawardī’s Sufism relates to the philosophy of Illumination. The discussion of this study is based on qualitative library research. In each section, this paper is supplemented with an explanation using the methods of description, interpretation, and data analysis to build a consistent and thorough understanding. This paper found that, according to Suhrawardī, knowledge is the presence of an object to know. Knowledge can only be attained by the mystic into the inner sanctum of higher visionary experiences (mushāhadat wa mukāshafat), not merely through logical reasoning. To achieve the truth of implicit knowledge, the philosophy of illumination suggested the combination of reason and intuition, which are complementary to one another. Regarding esotericism, in this case, the soul is interpreted as a part of the realm of light, but it is trapped in darkness, so spiritual training must be carried out in the spirit of soul-giving. Suhrawardī believes that only a clean soul can be connected to the divine light, wherein at that level, one can get intuitive wisdom, or in Sufism, it is called the laduni knowledge.

Abstract

There have been many studies discussing the use of social media for disseminating the religious ideology of both conservatism and radicalism. On the contrary, there have been a few studies that deal with how the moderate groups disseminate the discourse of religious moderation, whereas this topic is significant and needs to be discussed to view the strength and weaknesses as well as the contestation between each group. This article presents the production, distribution, consumption, and social practice of the religious moderation discourse throughout the content delivered by the figure from the groups of moderate Islam, from the Regency of Malang. The article is based on the discourse analysis of several pieces that have been produced by the figure and his team on YouTube and Facebook. The study shows that the production of religious moderation discourse in social media is carried out in two ways: conveying messages of religious moderation and countering narratives of conservatism and religious radicalism. The prospect of Islamic moderation discourse holds the opportunity to gain success in countering the narration of religious radicalism. However, the success of discourse contestation is defined by the strength of its distribution.

Abstract

This paper describes the phenomenon of hybrid identity among young urban Muslims in the popular da'wah movement in Yogyakarta. This research uses an ethnographic approach to take a case study of Teras Da'wah. This research argues that today's da'wah movement is oriented towards market Islam or market religion. The consequence of this market Islam is that it gives birth to an unusual da'wah movement, namely the identity of young Muslim hybrids who appreciate various Islamic ideologies. In addition, their hybrid identity also impacts how Teras Da'wah values symbols of popular culture, such as developing an office or da'wah center resembling a modern cafe, using social media, and slang dictions in preaching and using contemporary da'wah themes. It also uses music, films, futsal, and hanging out culture as an instrument of da'wah. This puts da'wah in a form that fits the identity of urban Muslim youths, who are pious and modern.

Abstract

Waḥid ad-Dīn Khān has a profound interest in questions of faith within the discourse of Kalam with the emergence of challenges in religion and the cognitive explosion in contemporary thought. In this case, Khān is encouraged to defend Islamic theology from challenges, such as the evidence-based questions about the existence of God. Those inquiries are arising among Western atheists, who are seeking scientific, empirical, and rational evidence. Responding to this challenge, Khān defends the theology by introducing a fresh paradigm of Kalam, a scientific theory based on Quranic foundations. This discourse encourages the ramification of Quranic values to remind God’s intention, configures the “scientific” verses with new scientific discoveries, inspires the complete verses of God in the human soul, and integrates Islamic-theological literature with scientific methods. Khān argues that modern scientific discoveries are parallel with the Qur'an, in which the human mind and divine revelation are colliding with each other.

Abstract

This article provides an understanding of the aesthetic relationship between the Ottoman and Indonesia. Turkey was instrumental in Islamization and political support for Indonesia. Islam came to Indonesia in the 13th century, which was brought by merchants of the Middle East and Ottoman Turks. They used a variety of dawah mediums, including economics, politics, social, and arts. Many sources write about the central role of traders from the Middle East in the Islamization of Indonesia, yet few resources give explanations of the role of Turkish traders and preachers. Using the descriptive analysis method, this article argues that Turkey has had a strong influence on Sufism in Indonesia. The main instrument in this research is library observation. This study found that the Ottoman Turks influenced aesthetic-sufistic interactions in Indonesia. In addition, the Ottoman Turkey with Sufism from Mevlana Jalāl ad-Dīn Rūmī has introduced music to Indonesia, which includes recitative poetry sung, Turkish musical instruments, and the Sufistic Whirling Darvish dance of Mevlevi Rūmī sufism order. The influence of Turkey spread to the Javanese and Malay-speaking Sumatran people.

Abstract

This article is about a comparative understanding of Muslim reform movements in Ferghana Valley (Central Asia) and Malabar region (in the south of India, South Asia) in the context of the revitalization theory of Anthony F.C. Wallace. The historical-evolutionary approach of colonialism and the waves that it created in the ‘colonies’ show a similar trend in both regions. Both these regions witnessed a degeneration of communities, both in terms of religious and secular yardsticks. Reformation activities were initiated by individuals who attracted severe friction from society and faced alienation in different spheres of their lives. This can be depicted as a manifestation of ‘cultural lag’ in these regions. By the start of the twentieth century, international mercantile-politics took a new turn, and the globe witnessed some hitherto unheard things. When we extrapolate the graph to contemporary times, we can easily understand the repercussions these movements had produced. It helps to understand how to lead Muslim communities in other parts of the world. The methodology has been based on primary and secondary sources from libraries and online repositories. Research findings include elucidating the pattern of reform movements in geographically distinct regions at the beginning of the twentieth century and their influences on the present scenario. The novelty of this article is that the sociology of religion and reform is used in connection with historical and religious dimensions. Generally, religious reform movements are written from a religious point of view

Abstract

The study dealt with extremist religious currents to attract young people into Libyan society through the framework of functional analysis, which resulted in the presence of dysfunction in society. This study sheds light on the relationship between Libyan youth and religious extremism in the context of the Arab Spring, meaning the political transition after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime in 2011. Some trends are undergoing changes, resulting in the emergence of extremist religious currents. It can be concluded from this study that the problem of extremism is due to the existence of a cultural conflict and a cultural gap between two generations. This gap is the reason for creating the psychological, intellectual, political and ideological divergence of the young generation from the adult generation.

Abstract

Wahhabism has been a source of intergenerational controversies among sunnī madhabī scholars and even among respected Hanbali scholars themselves, initially from its rise in the 18th century until the date. Muḥammad b. ‘Abd al-Wahhāb’s fatwas have drawn sharp critiques and refutations by Hanbali scholars, particularly those regarding tawḥīd ulūhiyyat, which justifies declaring others as infidel-apostates (kāfir murtadd). Other contested fatwas include those on Muslim practices of seeking blessings (tabarruk), seeking intermediaries (tawassul), visiting graves (ziyārat), and seeking help (istighāthah). Muḥammad b. ‘Abd al-Wahhāb and his followers have theologically deemed these practices of major idolatry (as-shirk al-akbar) and have erred and biased in proclaiming his Wahhabism as the true successor to Ibnu Taymiyya, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya and even manhaj of Ahmad b. Hanbal. In this regard, this article portrays the refutations and rebuttals by Hanbali scholars of Muḥammad b. ‘Abd al-Wahhāb and his early Wahhabism based on primary sources. The discussion describes theological examinations and counter-narrative campaigns against Wahhabism initiated by the 18th-century Hanbali scholars. The findings show that the majority of Hanbali scholars at the time refuse the teachings of Wahhabism and argue that the fatwas of Wahhabi scholars on the notion of ulūhiyyat, tabarruk, tawassul, ziyārat, and istigāthah are irrelevant and disconnected from the intellectualism of Hanbali scholars.

Abstract

This article will discuss the concept of justice in Ibn Miskawaih's Ethics and the concept of the environmental conservation. The authors uses a descriptive-analytical method and a Sufi-philosophical approach in Ibn Miskawaih's work entitled Tahdzīb al-Akhlāq wa Tathhīr al-'Arāq. The results obtained by the author from this study are that justice, according to Ibnu Miskawaih, is the alignment of the architecture of the soul, behaviour, and human condition so that nothing exceeds or reduces one another. Ibn Miskawaih's justice lies in Islamic shari'ah as a measure of balance in a case and a way to achieve prosperity. Thus, the concept of justice has a significant role in environmental conservation and protection. It includes maintaining the balance of nature, which can be done by reforestation, normal earth development, maintaining health and cleanliness, and being able to direct in responding to the development of science and technology to achieve the welfare and maintain harmony between human beings and their environment.

Abstract

The economy can play a role in the resurgence of tourism on Madura Island, which has been known as a hidden paradise. Madura has a great tourism potential that needs to be maximally improved in order to overcome its economic problems. However, given its socio-cultural context, Madura is not sufficiently receptive to tourism. Several factors, including the rejection of the kiais (religious leaders/teachers), have contributed to the underdevelopment of Madura’s tourism industry. In Madura, a kiai serves as a religious and social figure with considerable influence in Madurese society who adhere to the philosophy of Buppa', Babbu, Guru, Rato (“Father-Mother, Teacher, Government”). This qualitative research found a conflict of interests between two groups: the kiais as the guardian of culture and religion and the managers as a modern progressive group. In addition, I conclude that the efforts made by the kiais as social elites in rejecting the development of tourism in Lon Malang Beach show that there is a power of authority that makes it easier for the kiais to maintain their conservative religious views and reject any upcoming changes.
