Abstract

This article examines the aesthetic representation of female characters in Wayang Wali by Ki Sunan Sunhaji and Wayang Sambung by Ki Muhammad Mukti as part of the Islamic cultural da’wah strategy in Java. Drawing on visual semiotics, the analysis focuses on the depiction of female figures through physical appearance, ornaments, costumes, and bodily expressions as interconnected systems of cultural signs. The findings indicate that the representation of women in Wayang Wali and Wayang Sambung deliberately avoids sensuality and luxury, instead emphasizing simplicity, modesty, and spiritual values aligned with Islamic teachings. Elements such as soft color tones, modest clothing, and restrained bodily expressions are employed to construct an idealized image of femininity grounded in Sufi philosophy and Javanese-Islamic ethical principles. Women are represented not as objects of desire, but as symbolic figures embodying grace, humility, and spirituality. In conclusion, the visual aesthetics of female characters in these wayang traditions demonstrate a unique synthesis of religious values, local cultural identity, and artistic expression. As forms of cultural representation, Wayang Wali and Wayang Sambung function not only as artistic media but also as significant instruments of Islamic cultural transmission, offering an alternative model of beauty and femininity rooted in ethical and spiritual ideals.

Abstract

This study aims to examine Mohammad Mojtahed Shabestari’s intellectual reform in post-revolutionary Iran by investigating how the qerā’at-e rasmī (official reading) becomes plausible and how it can be theologically dismantled. Using a qualitative conceptual-textual analysis of Shabestari’s major works, supported by selected secondary literature, the article reconstructs his shift from a dictation model of waḥy to revelation as dialogical prophetic experience (blick) and the Qur’an as the Prophet’s historically mediated reading of the world. It then explicates a dual-layer hermeneutics (prophetic and communal) and argues that hermeneutics functions as a foundational epistemic framework for tafsīr, fiqh, and kalām. The findings indicate that Shabestari’s project delegitimizes interpretive monopoly, enables contextual ijtihād, and supports interpretive pluralism and political minimalism centered on freedom of faith. A procedural reading of qiṣāṣ illustrates how the model can yield restorative, dignity-oriented normative outputs. The novelty lies in integrating Shabestari’s revelation theory and authority critique into a single hermeneutical canvas with demonstrable ethical, legal, and political consequences.

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

This study examines how the jawāmiʿ al-kalim character of hadiths on companionship can be interpreted in relation to the contemporary concept of friendship circles. Rather than treating prophetic narrations on friendship as isolated moral instructions, this research approaches them as an interconnected corpus oriented toward a shared waḥdah al-ghāyah (unity of purpose). Employing a thematic method of hadith analysis, the study collects and examines narrations related to companionship from classical sources accessed through digital compilations such as Maktabah Shāmilah and Mausūʿah al-Ḥadīthiyyah. The analysis identifies seventeen hadiths that collectively articulate a patterned ethical framework for social relations. These narrations reveal several relational dimensions, including the definition and urgency of companionship, the vision and moral purpose of friendship, the ethical principles regulating interaction, and the positive and negative social consequences of association. The findings suggest that the concise formulations of hadith function as relational signifiers that structure the ideals and boundaries of social interaction. When read as a semantic network, these traditions construct a moral grammar of companionship that remains relevant for interpreting the dynamics of contemporary friendship circles.

Abstract

This study challenges dominant perspectives that reduce Malay Muslim rites of passage to either residual traditions or fully Islamized practices. Focusing on communities in Siak and Palembang, it conceptualizes ritual as a dynamic arena of negotiation, where Islamic norms and local symbols are continuously reinterpreted rather than simply preserved or purified. Using ethnographic methods, the study demonstrates that practices such as tepung tawar, mandi limau, and doa selamat persist through processes of re-signification. Meanings once associated with magical protection are reframed within a tawhidic logic that shifts efficacy from objects to divine intention. This transformation is not merely theological but also social, as it redistributes authority among religious leaders, customary elites, and participants, producing a negotiated and embodied religiosity. The findings argue that Islamization operates not as a top-down imposition but as a dialogical process in which communities actively recalibrate the boundaries of the sacred. Ritual thus functions as a mediating mechanism that sustains cultural continuity, reinforces social cohesion, and secures religious legitimacy. By foregrounding this process, the study advances the concept of cultural piety, demonstrating that Malay Muslim religiosity is shaped through ongoing negotiation, where meaning remains fluid yet socially grounded.

Abstract

Dating violence can have profound psychological effects. However, such traumatic experiences may also trigger post-traumatic growth (PTG) when individuals are able to find new meaning in their lives. This study examines the role of rajāʾ as a religious coping mechanism that facilitates PTG in survivors of dating violence. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews. The analysis utilized time-series analysis, pattern matching, and explanation building. The results revealed that the recovery process occurred in two phases: the disorientation phase, characterized by emotional distress, and the meaning reconstruction phase, during which traumatic experiences were reinterpreted within a spiritual framework. Positive changes were observed across five dimensions of PTG: relationships with others, personal strength, new life possibilities, appreciation of life, and spiritual change. Within the ambivalent texture of everyday religious life, where romantic relationships outside of marriage may be seen as potentially compromising ideals of religious piety, this study argues that rajāʾ functions not only as theological hope but also as an experiential orientation that helps survivors regulate emotions, reconstruct meaning, and transform suffering into a catalyst for resilience and spiritual growth.

Abstract

This article examines the transformation of methods used in commenting on hadith in the era of new media. It addresses three main questions: First, what forms does hadith commentary take in the new media era? Second, what factors have contributed to these changes in the practice of hadith commentary? Third, how has the shift in interpretive meaning occurred as a result of these evolving modes of commentary within the new media environment? The analysis is conducted using an interpretative approach. By employing these methodological steps, the study identifies emerging patterns of hadith commentary in the new media era that differ from earlier models, both in terms of presentation and analytical engagement with hadith material. This study finds, first, that the presentation of hadith commentary on Instagram reflects a significant transformation: what was once primarily text-based is now conveyed through diverse visual formats. These include captions, images, microblogs, and videos, which have revitalized a tradition of commentary that had long been stagnant and underdeveloped. Second, these changes in hadith commentary represent a scholarly response to the rapid evolution of new media technologies, including social media. Third, media technology has enabled hadith commentary—previously confined largely to printed formats—to appear across various online platforms. These accounts may be managed by institutions dedicated to hadith studies or by anonymous individuals, whether operating personally or in other capacities.
