Abstract

Addressing the issue of natural destruction from a religious perspective requires an additional dimension that focuses on solutions to the underlying causes of environmental degradation. Scholars contend that the degradation of nature stems from a spiritual crisis afflicting humanity. To address this challenge, this study employs a qualitative method with content analysis as its analytical tool to uncover a value system capable of revitalizing human spirituality within an ecocentric framework. The research reveals that eco-theology, eco-fiqh (fiqh al-bī’ah), and eco-sufism all share a common theme in exploring divine entities through the natural world. The equilibrium of nature emerges as the central element that enhances worship, servitude, and the embodiment of divine values, thereby enriching human spirituality. Consequently, the cultivation of human spirituality is achieved through the processes of utilization (al-intifā’), the abstraction of divine values (al-i'tibār), and conservation (al-iṣlāḥ). These three environmental ethics examine human behavior towards the universe and delve into the relationships among all living beings within this vast universe.

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 involvement of Sufi Ulama of Tarekat Qadariyah-Naqsabandiyah (TQN) Jagaraya in political contestation provides a distinct approach to introduce the presidential candidates they supported in the 2019 Indonesian presidential election. In contrast to the conventional guru-disciple attachment, the Sufi ulama adopt various strategies to modify the standpoint of their Tarekat member and align it with particular political tendencies. The intent of this study is to identify the strategies implemented by the Sufi ulama to collect support for their preferred political candidates within the Tarekat community. By utilizing a qualitative methodology, this study revealed various strategies used by those ulama in introducing political leaders, yet additionally taking the congregation's view regarding its process into consideration. Kiai Raga, with his traditional religious intellectual background, adopts traditional methods of gathering tarekat members who are interested in traditional tarekat rituals. Kiai Alam, on the other hand, embraces digital media to promote his political stance. These two varied methods by the two nationals Sufi Ulama display a dynamic combination of invention and adaptation, reflecting their diverse efforts to accommodate the political preferences of their respective tarekat members.
مسوّغات التأسيس وطبيعة الدور لعلم الكلام الجديد: قراءة في أعمال أهمّ منظّريه: Justifications for the Establishment and the Nature of the Role of the New ‘Ilm al-Kalām Fahmi, Ahmad Lukman; Sebti, Mohammad

Abstract

‘Ilm al-Kalām occupies a central position in the landscape of Islamic thought, as it is considered a practical application of its method of reasoning. Its stagnation can significantly impact other closely related branches of science, potentially leading to the decline and eventual obsolescence of its role, transforming it into a historical rather than an active field of study. This study aims to explore the views of some contemporary thinkers regarding the deficiencies of classical Kalām in addressing the demands of the modern era, and to examine the legitimacy of renewing this discipline, the rationale behind its establishment, as well as the aspects of its evolution and the nature of its new role. The research employs descriptive, analytical, and historical methodologies, gathering data and information from the works of Mutakallimūn and relevant thinkers. The study’s primary conclusion is that ‘Ilm al-Kalām is in crisis due to methodological deficiencies and issues, causing it to lose its relevance in meeting contemporary demands. Therefore, a comprehensive renewal of its entire system of knowledge is necessary, incorporating modern humanities disciplines such as hermeneutics, semiotics, anthropology, sociology, and others.   لعلم الكلام مكانة ومركزية ضمن خارطة الفكر الإسلامي، إذ أنه يعد تطبيقا عمليا لمنهج تفكيره، كما أن جموده قد يؤثر على بقية فروع المعرفة المتقاربة معه في الاستمداد، ما قد يؤدى إلى انحسار هذا العلم وموت دوره، فيتحول إلى معرفة تاريخية بدل أن كان معرفة فاعلة. ويهدف هذا البحث إلى مناقشة ما يعتقده بعض المفكرين المعاصرين من قصور علم الكلام الكلاسيكي في مواجهة متطلبات العصر، والوقوف على مدى مشروعية تجديد هذا العلم ومسوغات تأسيسه وجوانب تطويره وطبيعة دوره الجديدة. يعتمد هذا البحث على منهج البحث الوصفي التحليلي والتاريخي، حيث يستند في جمع البيانات والمعلومات إلى كتب المتكلمين والمفكرين المتعلقة بالموضوع. وقد توصل هذا البحث إلى نتائج رئيسية أهمها أن علم الكلام يعاني من أزمات لما فيه من قصور ومشاكل منهجية معرفية، وبالتالي فقد فقد أهميته ومغزاه في الوفاء بمتطلبات العصر، ولهذا السبب فمن الضروري تجديده ليس في جانب من جوانبه المحددة فقط، بل في هندسته المعرفية بأكملها، وضرورة توظيف معطيات العلوم الإنسانية الحديثة مثل الهرمنيوطيقا والسيميائية والانثروبولوجيا وعلم الاجتماع وغيره

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 concept of "Little Meccas" in Indonesia refers to settlements designed to foster a symbolic connection between  local communities and Mecca, the holiest city in Islam. This paper delves into Kauman, a historic enclave in Yogyakarta that has served as a vibrant center of Islamic learning since the Sultanate era. By focusing on Kauman Yogyakarta, this study examines its transformation from a small residential area to a larger community that ultimately inspired the birth of Muhammadiyah, a prominent reformist Islamic movement. The paper explores the historical connections between Kauman and the Middle East, particularly the influence of pan-Islamism and reformist Islamic movements. This influence is further highlighted by the presence of architectural elements reflecting Middle Eastern styles. Notably, Kauman's pedestrianized zones prioritize tranquility for students pursuing Islamic studies in prayer halls (suraus or langgars). This emphasis on quietude underscores the importance placed on Arabic-style Islamic education within the enclave. In conclusion, this study investigates the ongoing influence of the Middle East on Islamic practices and education in Kauman. It sheds light on the concept of "Little Meccas" as a historical and cultural phenomenon in Indonesia.

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

The influence of media on the formation of attitudes towards Muslims and Arabs in the period following the 9/11 attacks resulted in the propagation of harmful stereotypes and the increase in hate crimes targeting Muslims and Arabs during this time. This was also spread by the role of media, including popular culture media, in disseminating these negative narratives. Using a qualitative approach, this study aims to examine the media’s endeavours to depict Muslims in a positive portrayal and the dearth of meaningful sources documenting these empathetic endeavours through the prism of moderation, especially in post-9/11. This article argues that Evelyn Alsultany's notion of Simplified Complex Representation serves as a gateway for the media's effort to showcase Muslims and Arabs in a more nuanced way.. There are tons of instances that have been analysed from TV dramas, movies, and comics to demonstrate how the media shapes people’s perspectives of Muslims and Arabs. The article contends that media is not merely a mirror of societal views but a powerful agent capable of shaping and modifying perceptions.

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.
