Abstract

In the past (2004-2014), the Ahmadiyah minority in Indonesia all too often faced attacks and violence from Muslim groups claiming to act in the name of religion. During this period, there was a mobilization of violence against the Ahmadiyah community, referring to efforts to rally Muslims to carry out violent actions. This term encompasses various contexts, ranging from mass mobilization in social conflicts to more organized movements aimed at spreading violence. These Muslim groups committed brutal acts of intolerance and violated the human rights of the Ahmadiyah community, who were persecuted for their choice of belief based on personal conscience. The government of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (2004–2014) failed to protect the Ahmadiyah congregation as a minority group in Indonesia and to uphold the constitutional guarantees enshrined in the 1945 Constitution and the state foundation of Pancasila, which guarantee freedom of religion and worship for the community. all citizens. Violence against the Ahmadiyah minority reflects a deep-rooted pattern of violence in Indonesia that has persisted and expanded in society since the collapse of Suharto’s New Order authoritarian regime in 1998. Learning from the mistakes of the past, it is clear that religious pluralism and diversity remain unresolved and serious challenges in Indonesia, a nation founded on the noble ideology of Pancasila, which promotes tolerance.

Abstract

Al-Shamāʾil al-Muḥammadiyyah is one of the most significant sources of Prophetic history. The book’s popularity is indisputable, spanning from classical traditional discussions to its development in the digital realm. This interdisciplinary study examines the recent transmission of al-Shamāʾil disseminated through cyberspace, employing the concept of exegetical ḥadith reception. The question spans from how videos cover and reach the audience to how the Indonesian ulama explores al-Shamāʾil complex settings and local direct audience. These all are examined through online observation of Indonesian ulama playlist videos on al-Shamāʾil al-Muḥammadiyyah. The results indicate that the study of al-Shamāʾil in Indonesia has shifted from traditional teacher-led classrooms to decentralized digital networks such as YouTube. These digital platforms treat sacred third-century texts both as in-depth scholarly resources and as quick-access information for the masses, creating a unique tension between viral popularity and academic rigor. While scholars have successfully adapted these teachings into practical daily guidance for millions, the current one-way nature of online videos still lacks the deep personal connection characteristic of traditional face-to-face learning.

Abstract

This study examines how generative artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes religious disinformation by disrupting the epistemological foundations of religious authority. Focusing on Indonesia and employing qualitative content analysis, the research analyzes AI-generated artifacts that simulate clerical voices, fabricate sacred symbols, and construct emotionally resonant narratives about the umma. Drawing on the framework of the epistemology of religious authority, the study explores how these artifacts challenge traditional mechanisms of verification, particularly within Islamic epistemology. This study contributes to the existing literature by demonstrating that AI not only disseminates misleading content but also reconfigures the ways in which religious truth is recognized. It does so by separating technical precision from moral accountability, producing sanad-less knowledge, and transforming sacred symbols into self-contained representations. While religious traditions possess epistemological tools such as isnād and tabayyun, their application becomes increasingly complex in AI-mediated environments where authority is no longer easily traceable. The study suggests that these tools remain relevant but require reinterpretation and adaptation. However, epistemological responses alone may be insufficient to address the affective dimension of AI-generated content, particularly regarding synthetic comfort.

Abstract

Independent women have increasingly contributed to their families’ economic resilience. However, their expanded roles often introduce new challenges in maintaining harmonious family relationships. Rather than strengthening family stability, dual responsibilities, consumerist and hedonistic lifestyles, financial instability, and perceived inequalities between spouses can gradually undermine emotional intimacy and marital commitment. This study examines how the concept of acts of service, interpreted through the lens of taṣawwuf akhlāqī and grounded in hadith, can help reinforce family resilience among independent women. Through a qualitative literature review, the study synthesizes recent scholarly work to develop an Islamic framework for family relationships. The findings reveal that family resilience depends not only on women’s economic contributions but also on effective communication, mutual support, equitable role-sharing, and emotional reciprocity between spouses. By integrating acts of service with the ethical values of taṣawwuf akhlāqī, such as compassion, sincerity, self-control, financial cooperation, and quality time, marital harmony and long-term family resilience are expected to be strengthened.

Abstract

This study examines the historical spread of Islam within the Mempawah Kingdom, focusing on the interplay between religion and culture during the reign of Opu Daeng Manambon (1741–1761). Specifically, it seeks to elucidate the processes of integrating religion and culture, the implementation of daʿwah strategies in the propagation of Islam, and the respective roles of the umarāʾ and ʿulamāʾ during this period. Employing qualitative research methods grounded in a historical approach, the study utilizes heuristic techniques, including criticism, synthesis, and historiography, applied to historical materials from West Kalimantan, with particular emphasis on the Mempawah Kingdom. The findings reveal that Islamization under Opu Daeng Manambon was not merely a peaceful cultural diffusion but rather a politically structured and culturally negotiated transformation. This process was shaped through interactions among royal authorities, networks of ʿulamāʾ, trade relations, and local socio-cultural dynamics. The study further demonstrates that Islamization developed through a hybrid daʿwah model that integrated political influence, cultural adaptation, and dialogical engagement, reflecting a collaborative power dynamic between rulers and ʿulamāʾ within a multicultural society. Ultimately, this study contributes to ongoing discussions on the processes of Islamization in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

This article explores the contextualization of hadith within Indonesian socio-cultural realities using a maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah-based framework. It seeks to demonstrate how hadith interpretation can uphold textual authority while responsibly addressing evolving social contexts. Employing qualitative library research, the study analyzes literature on hadith studies, uṣūl al-fiqh, maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, and Indonesian Islamic thought. The analysis is structured around three methodological tools: al-ta‘līl al-maqāṣidī, al-tafsīr al-maṣlaḥī, and al-tamyīz bayn al-maqāṣid wa al-wasā’il. The findings reveal that maqāṣid-based contextualization should not serve as a shortcut to justify modern preferences. Instead, it must involve thorough textual analysis, engagement with classical scholarship, identification of ‘illah and maṣlaḥah, and assessment of social consequences. For example, the hadith concerning Quraysh leadership suggests that legitimate leadership can be understood in terms of public authority and social unity. The hadith on disciplining children to perform prayer highlights that religious education is the primary objective, with physical punishment being a conditional means. Additionally, the hadith addressing gold and silver ribā illustrates that the goal of preventing injustice in value exchange remains relevant to modern currencies. This article offers an operational model for maqāṣid-based hadith contextualization in the Indonesian context.

Abstract

This study seeks to clarify the labeling of hadith rejection by distinguishing between ontological rejection and methodological criticism in assessing the authority of hadith. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in library research and critical discourse analysis, it examines the intellectual debates surrounding key figures commonly associated with hadith rejection, including classical scholars, modern reformists, and Western Orientalists. The findings reveal that the label “hadith rejecter” is not a fixed epistemological category but rather a discursive construct shaped by methodological differences and ideological biases. Many scholars labeled as rejecters do not deny the Prophet’s authority; instead, they propose alternative criteria for the authenticity and interpretation of hadith. This study argues that the prevalent use of this term results in an epistemological oversimplification that obscures the diversity of approaches within hadith scholarship. By distinguishing among three categories, ontological rejection, methodological criticism, and epistemological differences, this research offers a more nuanced analytical framework. Ultimately, the study contributes to a more balanced and dialogical understanding of hadith studies, reduces polarization, and promotes a more inclusive interpretation of intellectual diversity within Islamic thought.
