Abstract

Sri Lanka's vibrant diversity, encompassing a wealth of ethnicities and religions, is tragically fractured by the ongoing conflict between the dominant Sinhala Buddhist majority and the marginalized Muslim minority. This study traces the origins of the conflict between Sri Lanka's dominant Sinhala Buddhist majority and the marginalized Muslim minority back to the colonial legacy that imposed a dichotomous societal structure.  Employing a qualitative approach with the Self and the Other framework, this research utilizes the iceberg model to delve deeper into the underlying causes of conflict. The research reveals that the conflict between Sinhalese Buddhists and the Muslim community arises from an ambiguous sense of self-identity, which is defined by contrasting with the Other. Sinhala Buddhists perceive the growing Muslim community as a threat to the indigenous culture and religion, as reflected in Sinhala culture. This perception is shaped by mental models constructed since the colonial period, during which ethnic and religious classifications were implanted by colonizers as the basis for political rights. The resulting classification fostered a sense of nationalism among the Sinhala Buddhists, fueling resistance against colonial rule. However, this classification also perpetuated a pattern of oppression towards minority groups, viewing them through the same lens as the colonizers viewed the indigenous population, thus perpetuating cycles of conflict and marginalization.

Abstract

The profound journey of Islam's expansion in South Sulawesi during the 15th century resulted in a gradual uptake of Islam within the Toraja region. This delayed acceptance, compared to other areas in South Sulawesi, is frequently attributed to the use of force during Islam's expansion. This perception highlights the challenge of promoting tolerance between the Muslim minority and Christian majority in the region. To understand the complexities of this phenomenon, this study seeks to explore factors beyond violence that contributed to the slow pace of Islamization. Employing a qualitative approach based in anthropology, the research delves into historical and cultural contexts. It finds that forceful Islamization efforts by figures like the Bone Kingdom, Kahar Muzakkar, and Andi Sose, actually hampered the spread of Islam due to the negative cultural impacts they created. Instead, it was the migration of Muslims to Toraja for trade that played a key role in introducing Islam to the region. Intermarriages further altered the dynamics, shifting Islamization from a conversion-focused approach to one based on family connections.  This had consequences for how Islamic communities developed, depending on the choices of second-generation Muslims. The slow pace of Islamization also influenced various aspects of social and religious life, leading the Toraja people to develop nuanced responses.  They managed change by emphasizing positive aspects of Islam while minimizing negative ones, aiming to maintain peace within their religiously diverse society.  Thus, the Toraja actively engaged in managing the evolving religious landscape, adapting their practices to maintain communal harmony.

Abstract

The proliferation of hadith dissemination on Instagram, a popular social media platform, presents a compelling avenue for exploration. This phenomenon has engendered increasingly intricate and dynamic models and characteristics of hadith disseminators. However, this development has received inadequate attention in scholarly discourse, often being overlooked. This study not only addresses the shortcomings of previous research but also delves into the question of how hadith dissemination on Instagram can shape the models and characteristics of hadith disseminators to become more contextually relevant and adaptable. To address this inquiry, this study employs a qualitative descriptive approach to examine the models and characteristics of hadith disseminators prevalent in the #hadith hashtag on Instagram. The findings not only reveal that hadith dissemination on Instagram has transcended virtual-based communication and interaction patterns but also underscore the construction of a more contextual and dynamic model and characteristics of hadith dissemination. This study additionally emphasizes the value of interviewing Instagram users to gain a more comprehensive and reflective understanding of this phenomenon.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to explore the Ottoman Empire's management model in navigating a diverse, multiethnic, and multireligious society, thereby fostering an advanced and dynamic civilization. Employing a qualitative approach with a content analysis model during data interpretation, this research identifies a synergistic alignment between the open policy and the empire's response to ethnic, cultural, and religious differences. This alignment stems from the extensive conquest process and the organic awareness within the community, influencing social interactions. The open policy, characterized by the establishment of local entities such as readers, millets, reāyā, sipähis, and timars, facilitates the accommodation of diverse interests, worship practices, and cultural expressions. This policy is instrumental in supporting a society's multicultural awareness, fostering openness to cultural assimilation, and promoting respect for religious practices. Notably, Islam is positioned as a safeguard to ensure the enforcement of power supremacy as outlined in The Ottoman code, but the state largely refrains from intervening in religious activities and cultural expressions unless there is a clear threat to its authority. This awareness of distinct private and public spheres fosters a pluralistic and multicultural reality within Ottoman society, with the state adopting a relatively moderate position.

Abstract

The surge in scholarly fervor across the Arab world following the Hellenistic resurgence instigated shifts in religious thought concerning theodicy. Saadia Gaon and al-Qāḍī Abd al-Jabbār, representing Jewish and Islamic scholars respectively, exemplify this evolving trend. This study endeavors to delve into Gaon and al-Qāḍī Abd al-Jabbār's perspectives on divine justice and its implications for human agency. Employing a qualitative approach with content analysis as the analytical tool, this research reveals a convergence of ideas between Gaon and al-Qāḍī regarding the manifestation of divine justice through human autonomy. This autonomy operates within the framework of revealed restrictions transmitted to the messenger of God. These limitations establish a moral framework delineating choices of good and evil, ultimately entrusted to human discretion guided by reason. The primacy of reason underscores moral rationality, guiding individuals towards virtuous conduct. Within the realm of human freedom, diverse actions unfold, contributing to cultural evolution and the advancement of civilization. Moral rationality emerges as a pivotal tool in religious comprehension, fostering dialogue between Abrahamic faiths and facilitating the pursuit of a more cohesive global society.

Abstract

This article aims to advance the field of hadith interpretation by examining the ideas of three influential figures: Abu Rayyah, Juynboll, and Zakaria Ouzon. Their distinctive approaches, characterized by both logic and critical analysis of traditional methods, resonate with contemporary trends in hadith hermeneutics studies. This makes them ideal subjects for exploring new avenues in hadith interpretation. By analyzing relevant literature, this research will explore the connections between these figures’ ideas and their impact on hadith scholarship. This analysis will then serve as the foundation for building a new framework for interpreting hadiths effectively. Their unique approach to evaluating both the chain of narrators (sanad) and the content of the hadith (matn) opens up fresh possibilities for a more dynamic and meaningful interpretation process (ijtihād). This means judging a hadith interpretation not only by who told it, but also by how well it aligns with the core values of the Qur’an and established scientific knowledge. Drawing inspiration from the work of Gadamer and Gracia, this research emphasizes the importance of skilled interpreters for understanding hadiths fully. By considering the broader context and implications of each hadith, this approach ensures interpretations remain relevant to the ever-changing world.

Abstract

The narration of Qur'anic stories, which are identified as non-chronological, often leads to assertions about their function as advice and moral lessons, raising theological questions about their scientific nature. The way people understand these stories often focuses on their lessons and guidance, missing how they relate to the Prophet's da'wah. This study delves into the relationship between these narratives and their historical context, employing qualitative methods and drawing on the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, which suggests that language shapes our understanding of the world. Focusing on the narratives depicting the stories of the Prophets in Surah Hūd [11], the study reveals that the parts of these stories that emphasize the rejection of da'wah resonate with the experiences of Prophet Muhammad. The accounts of the rejected Prophets serve as a catalyst to ignite Prophet Muhammad's fervor for da'wah through the power of language. The portrayal of rejection in every da'wah struggle, accompanied by the narrative of punishment and annihilation, is distinctively crafted in the Qur'an, with a focus on punishment in the afterlife. The Prophet Muhammad's circumstances during the process of proselytizing are the primary factor in arranging the story fragments without chronological order.
