Abstract

This article explores 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. Using a qualitative descriptive method and visual analysis, the study focuses on the physical appearance, ornaments, costumes, and expressions of female figures in these wayang performances. The findings reveal that the portrayal of women in Wayang Wali and Wayang Sambung intentionally avoids sensuality and luxury. Instead, it emphasizes simplicity, modesty, and spiritual values in accordance with Islamic teachings. Elements such as soft color tones, modest clothing, and subtle body language are used to depict idealized femininity based on Sufi philosophy and Javanese-Islamic ethical principles. This aesthetic approach reflects a vision of womanhood that prioritizes inner beauty, piety, and cultural refinement rather than physical allure. The performances present women 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. These performances serve not only as entertainment but also as powerful tools of Islamic cultural transmission, presenting 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.
