Abstract

This article seeks to analyze the phenomenon of religious politics in Indonesia using Francis Fukuyama's concept of thymos. The 1945 constitution of Indonesia guaranteed the freedom of religion, yet on the one hand, it also provided explanations for six beliefs as definitive religions. This triggers the marginalization of adherents of traditional beliefs, with their rights not fully accommodated by the state. Thymos shape social and political life, and individuals or groups, when feeling that their thymotic needs are not met, may demand political recognition. Fukuyama explains two patterns of thymos: 1) isothymia, referring to the desire for equal recognition in terms of dignity, values, and identity, and 2) megalothymia, representing the desire for recognition as superior. The findings in this article indicate that religious identity politics in Indonesia are reflected through these two patterns of isothymia and megalothymia, evident in the tumultuous journey of marginalized local belief identities and in identity politics directed towards religion-based dominations.

Abstract

This study explains the essence of mamakiah tradition, which is currently misunderstood by society, which simply sees mamakiah as begging for sadakah or alms and begging. This research was conducted on several surau that still carrie out the mamakiah tradition. This study uses qualitative approaches, such as conducting in-depth interviews with surau or madrasa leaders, as well as students studying at surau, including those who still embrace the mamakiah tradition and those who have abandoned it. Observations were also made on how the mamakiah process is carried out. This study found that mamakiah tradition was a religious expression in the past. However, in its development, this custom was used as a method for developing the mindsets (mental testing) of students learning in surau in order to become future ulama. At the same time, this tradition provided an opportunity for these students to implement their religious knowledge (kaji) into practice in Surau.

Abstract

The Government's efforts to find a formula for religious coolness have found momentum with the popular idea of Religious Moderation. This term is the main mission of Islam in realizing people who live in peace and provide benefits to others. This study aims to reveal the paradigm of the pesantren community towards the practice of Religious Moderation in West Sumatra. Community acceptance of the Religious Moderation discourse is due to several approaches that are easy to understand and prioritize aspects of local wisdom. The method used in this research is qualitative with a descriptive analysis approach to describe and explain the acceptance of pesantren communities in West Sumatra towards the practice of Religious Moderation. The results of this study can be concluded that in terms of values, the application of Religious Moderation has long been applied by exploring lessons sourced from the book of turast. While at the practice stage it still requires intense strengthening and education to the community in order to understand the benefits of applying this concept. The Moderate perspective has a positive impact when brought to a wider area, especially inter-religious relations. The contribution of this research can be used as a basis for policy makers (stakeholders) in formulating strategic plans in the field of community religion.   Upaya Pemerintah dalam menemukan formula kesejukan beragama telah menemukan momentumnya dengan gagasan populer yaitu Moderasi Beragama. Term ini merupakan misi utama Islam dalam mewujudkan umat yang hidup damai dan memberikan manfaat kepada orang lain. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap paradigma komunitas pesantren terhadap praktek Moderasi Beragama di Sumatera Barat. Penerimaan masyarakat terhadap wacana Moderasi Beragama disebabkan oleh beberapa pendekatan yang dilakukan mudah dipahami dan mengutamakan aspek kearifan lokal. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif analisis untuk menggambarkan dan menjelaskan penerimaan komunitas pesantren di Sumatera Barat terhadap praktek Moderasi Beragama. Hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa secara nilai-nilai, penerapan Moderasi Beragama telah lama diterapkan dengan menggali pelajaran yang bersumber dari kitab turast.

Cara pandang Moderat berdampak positif ketika dibawa ke area yang lebih luas terutama hubungan antar umat beragama. Kontribusi dari penelitian ini dapat dijadikan sebagai dasar pengambil kebijakan (stakeholders) dalam merumuskan rencana strategis dalam bidang keagamaan masyarakat.

Abstract

Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) services have gained significant popularity among Indonesian customers, particularly within the younger demographic that values convenience and flexibility in online shopping. This research uses a qualitative approach to examine the applications of Islamic law on the utilization of BNPL inside digital transactions in Indonesia, while also assessing its effects on consumer behavior and economic stability. The findings indicate that although Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) provides ease and accessibility for consumers, substantial obstacles exist in aligning this practice with maqāṣid sharia principles, especially with usury and consumer protection issues. Factors such as financial literacy, governmental laws, and product transparency significantly impact the adoption of BNPL, shaping customer comprehension and utilization of these services. Islamic financial institutions bear a significant obligation to deliver several itemsthat not only meet the demands of consumers but also sharia compliance. As such, this research contributes to strengthening the integration between digital technology and the financial system, as well as supporting sustainable economic growth that is compliant with Shariah principles.

Abstract

This study examines the theological principles underlying the social empowerment efforts implemented for the punk community at Pondok Tasawuf Underground Jakarta, focusing on articulating theological values in the context of empowerment and their implementation in daily life. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, several data in this study were collected through in-depth interviews with the founder and members of the punk community, participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the theological principles underlying empowerment at Pondok Tasawuf Underground are rooted in holistic hijrah, encompassing both spiritual and social transformation. The "Roadmap to Return" program serves as the core agenda, consisting of two main paths: the Roadmap to Return to Allah, which emphasizes religious education and spiritual awareness, and the Roadmap to Return to Family, which underscores social responsibility and family relationship restoration. The principle of human equality serves as the theological foundation of this empowerment effort, affirming the universal dignity of every individual regardless of their background. The implementation of the theology of empowerment includes skill training, social assistance, and spiritual strengthening, significantly transforming the punk community from a marginalized group into productive individuals.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the relationship and impact between Sumatra Thawalib Padang Panjang and Thawalib Islamiyah Al Rawaniyah in Kerinci. Sumatra Thawalib is one model of Islamic education reform that has provided many changes and influences on the existence and educational institutions in Minangkabau and Kerinci. Before the 19th century AD, Kerinci had received educational influence from Minangkabau. From the use of surau to the emergence of Thawalib in Kerinci, there are at least two things that were formulated, namely the impact of Sumatra Thawalib on Thawalib Islamiyah and the relationship between the two educational institutions. The research method used is the historical method, which takes four stages: heuristics (data collection), source criticism, synthesis and historiography (writing). The research results show that the presence of Thawalib Islamiyah Al Rawaniyah in Kerinci was influenced by the Sumatra Thawalib Padang Panjang in the form of institutions, learning methods and curriculum. Thawalib Islamiyah Al Rawaniyah is a duplication of Sumatra Thawalib with several modifications. Therefore, a synergistic relationship between the two agencies is built.

Abstract

This study investigates the ways in which the contemporary viral public sermons, Hanan Attaki’s Sharing Time, represented in the contemporary viral public sermons, intertwine the roles of social media, the youth movement, and piety included within the religious commodification. The author also examines how, in this disruptive age, the piety of young people could be addressed with the given religious teachings or da’wah he offers. This research also explores the complex relationship between young Muslim ide in Indonesia, and social media. It can be examined as to how social media platforms and digital technology influence the phenomena of viral public sermons. It observes the shift in Islamic traditions, the emergence of skepticism, and the dynamics of Islam and the modern world especially in the technological world. Religious populism, together with the new authority that has emerged due to the changes in religious expression and participation due to social media have altered the dynamics of religious discourses. This paper pays further attention to the urbanization process, the ‘Pop Islam’ phenomena, and the hijrah movement as a critical development in the emerging forms of Muslim religiosity in contemporary Indonesia. Discussing the relation of identity and piety together, it focuses on the commercialization of religion and the entwinement of tradition and modernity in Islamic popular culture. This essay highlights the fluidity of cultural change in Indonesian Muslims’ youth identity through the Hijrah movement that metaphorically represents change in identity, and furthermore underscores the daily struggle between tradition and modernity within the Indonesian Muslim community.

Abstract

While the Tabligh Jamaat is perceived as phenomenal in its acts of worship (appearing distinct from most other Muslim groups), it demonstrates moderate behavior in societal interactions. In line with other research findings, the Tabligh Jamaat is regarded as a politically neutral organization, which calls for further exploration of its position in implementing the values of religious moderation. Thus, the study of religious moderation becomes a significant area of focus. This paper presents research findings on the extent to which the values of religious moderation are implemented by the Tabligh Jamaat community in Pekanbaru, while also introducing a new orientation in their da'wah (Islamic preaching) as a form of novelty. This study employs a qualitative method with a snowball sampling technique. This method was chosen because snowball sampling facilitates the identification of key informants or leaders within community groups. Starting with one primary informant, the researcher can gain access to other individuals with relevant knowledge or experience.The findings reveal that the development of Tabligh Jamaat's da'wah in Pekanbaru has progressed beyond grassroots efforts to become a movement with clear directions and trends, particularly in educational institutions (pesantren). It was found that the implementation of religious moderation in Pekanbaru is characterized by respect for differences in Islamic schools of thought (madhhab), avoidance of fanaticism, and prioritization of the unity of the ummah (Muslim community). The orientation and methods that have emerged include the adjustment of da'wah methods, a contextual da'wah approach, collective and pragmatic involvement, as well as active and dialogical engagement.
