Abstract

This paper explores the dynamics of Pro-Muslim policies in the Kingdom of Cambodia, specifically related to halal institutionalization and the legalization of the hijab. Both are basic needs (dharuriyat) in Islamic Law, although the second is debatable. According to most early-period scholars (ulama klasik), these two policies could only be fulfilled in an Islamic state. Instead, the Cambodian Royal Government issued two policies in favour of Muslims practicing both needs. This research is qualitative research that uses an anthropological approach. Researchers collected data through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation on policy documents, news, and articles that can be trusted. Interviews took place non-formally, face-to-face, and online via the internet. This paper argues that the pro-Muslim policies issued provide halal assurance for the consumption of the Muslims in the country (2% of the total population) and potentially improve the their socio-economy in the food and beverage industry and tourism. The legalization of the hijab guarantees that Muslim women can engage in public spaces freely without worrying about discrimination because of their identity and what they wear. Tulisan ini mengeksplorasi dinamika kebijakan Pro-Muslim di Negara Kerajaan Kamboja, secara spesifik terkait dengan kebijakan pelembagaan halal dan legalisasi hijab. Keduanya merupakan kebutuhan dasar (dharuriyat) dalam Hukum Islam, meskipun yang kedua masih diperdebatkan. Menurut mayoritas ulama periode awal, dua kebijakan ini hanya bisa terpenuhi di negara Islam. Sebaliknya, Pemerintah Kerajaan Kamboja,yang secara resmi menganut Buddhisme sebagai agama resmi negara, mengeluarkan dua kebijakan yang mendukung Muslim dengan mudah mengamalkan kedua kebutuhan tersebut. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif yang menggunakan pendekatan antropologis. Peneliti mengumpulkan data-data melalui observasi, indepth-interview, dan dokumentasi terhadap dokumen kebijakan, berita, dan artikel yang bisa dipercaya. Interview berlangsung secara non-formal, melalui tatap muka dan online melalui internet. Tulisan ini berpendapat bahwa kebijakan pro-Muslim yang dikeluarkan memberikan jaminan kepastian halal untuk konsumsi 2.0 persen Muslim di negara tersebut, serta berpotensi meningkatkan perekonomian Muslim dalam industri makanan dan minuman, serta pariwisata. Legalisasi hijab memberikan jaminan kepada perempuan Muslim untuk mampu terlibat dalam ruang publik dengan bebas tanpa menghawatirkan diskriminasi karena identitas dan apa yang ia pakai.

Abstract

The article unravels the roles of buyas (charismatic scholar of the community) in coping with confidence issues amongst politicians who competed in the Limapuluh Kota Regency’ 2015 Regional Election in West Sumatra. The study aims to answer the following questions: first, what are the politicians’ motives to seek audience from the buya? Second, what are rituals and statements that the buya provide? As part of a qualitative research conducted within the Regency, the data were collected through in-depth interviews to four buyas and four candidates. The interview results were then analyzed through qualitative approaches. The result of the study indicates that politicians and their canvassers performed ‘political safari’ by visiting buyas upon becoming candidate hopefuls or being pronounced candidates by the Election Committee. It is worth noting that although buyas never rejected any politician or canvasser who wished to meet them, they were never involved in direct campaigns with the candidates or canvassers. In essence, buyas provide politicians a sense of legitimacy at a time when they are losing confidence in themselves. Eventually, as in all political competitions, there will always be victors and losers.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the availability of facilities for persons with disabilities as well as the challenges in implementing accessible spaces and facilities at the Yogyakarta City Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kankemenag of Yogyakarta City). This study used a qualitative approach by exploring the social situation related to providing disability-friendly public services in religious institutions. The collected data, both primary and secondary, were analyzed using Miles Huberman's analysis. Based on the observations, Kankemenag of Yogyakarta City provided adequate facilities for persons with disabilities. Some of the facilities available include toilets for the diffable (a person who is differently abled), visitor parking, special service counters, guiding blocks, downhill fields, and wheelchairs. The supporting factors of Kankemenag of Yogyakarta City can provide facilities for service users sourced from internal and external factors. The internal supporting factor found in the field is the commitment and mindset of the head from the Chief to the service officers. Meanwhile, the external factors supporting this case are more about the obligation to meet the requirements to achieve the xcellent Service title. The Ontario Human Rights Commission developed the barriers factor in providing facilities for those with special needs in public service, which consists of attitudinal, architectural, and informational barriers. The diverse scope of the study is strongly recommended to provide a broader picture of providing facilities for persons with disabilities in various places. This study is expected to improve public services in government agencies that are fair and equitable for all levels of society.

Abstract

As ethnic minorities who adhere to the majority belief (Islam), ethnic Chinese Muslims in Jakarta are faced with a complex identity crisis, especially in the area of political participation. In the 2017 Jakarta regional elections (Pilkada), ethnic Chinese Muslims were faced with a political situation, whether to choose leaders from ethnic Chinese or leaders from the Muslim community. This situation puts them in a dilemma. However, ethnic Chinese Muslims have survived the complicated politics of ethnicity, even though regional election politics has caused a crisis of identity politics in Jakarta. Based on the research results, Chinese Muslims in Jakarta were able to survive despite the difficulties caused by their identity. This research is important because there are not many studies that specifically discuss the survival strategies of Chinese Muslims in Jakarta. This research is a socio-political research. To collect data, the methodology used is in-depth interviews with several informants. The results of the interviews and data are then processed using a qualitative and analytic approach. This is done in order to show how the Chinese Muslim ethnic group have survived the complicated political situation in Jakarta

Abstract

This research examines why local identity building was conducted in Osing village, Banyuwangi Regency, East Java, and how this identity was initiated and invested by actors who have power using Islamic political identity. To respond to these questions, this research used the historical method by utilizing primary and secondary sources, such as official archive in form of decrees, interview with historical actors, and various references such as books, journals, and newspapers. This research findings are the following: Osing’s identity was a deliberate blueprint and not a natural continuity. This construction involved cultural practitioners, journalists, artists, intellectuals, traditional figures, and national administrators. Osing’s identity construction, transformation, negotiation, and mobility are the site of the contention of various interest. The attempt of creating a sympathetic and caring reputation of Osing culture represented by almost all of Banyuwangi regent continued from the New Order era until the post-Reformation era, despite various paradigm shifts. This needs to be interpreted as efforts to build identity and not just to eliminate the stigma attached. It has had an impact on political support and legitimacy in Banyuwangi, especially Osing Kemiren Village.

Abstract

This article aims to explain the role of masohi in maintaining relations between the Christian and Muslim communities in the Christian and Islamic villages of Siri Sori, Central Maluku, that witnessed the communal religious conflict in the period of 1999-2004. Post-conflict social relation has the potential for establishing harmony, which is particularly important given the conflict’s tragic impact and complex social implications. This can be achieved through masohi, which embodies local wisdom. Masohi can contribute to peace and conflict resolution between the two communities. The research question in this study is whether masohi can adequately serve as a solution in that context. This research uses a qualitative approach using observation, literature study, and interviews with Christian and Muslim figures from the two communities who have practiced masohi in the Christian and Islamic villages of Siri Sori. All the data about masohi is collected, sorted, analyzed, and reconstructed using culturally-based historical awareness perspective. The results of this study show that: (1) masohi manifests in interfaith cooperation between the two communities in their history culture; (2) masohi has a constructive humanitarian characteristic; and (3) masohi can be preserved to ensure the welfare of the people and to preserve peace sustainably.

Abstract

This article describes the exploration of religious tolerance from the perspective of Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP; Padang State University) students. The research is motivated by the development of a diverse conception of religious tolerance based on  authority of the state and the culture of local communities. Students are part of the academic community that are constantly in flux. However, the conception of rel­­­igious tolerance from a student's perspective has not been developed comprehensively, so further studies are needed to understand how students explore religious tolerance at UNP. This research method uses a qualitative approach.  The subject of this study are the active students across different study programs; they are also cross-organizations, cross-religious and cross-cultural. We have also selected  the active lecturers registered at UNP. Sampling was conducted with snowball sampling technique. Data collection uses in-depth  interviews and observation.. The data analysis technique uses descriptive analysis. The results of this study reveal the indicators of religious tolerance from the perspective of UNP students, namely, being open toward differences, having mutual respect, having independence in acting, and giving the freedom for people to carry out worship, and prioritizing positive interaction between individuals and interfaith groups. The results of this study can be used to construct student religious tolerance assessments.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the assessment of the International Migration of Uyghur Muslims from China to Turkiye, focusing on the interpretation of Al-Jalalayn. The research technique employed involves gathering data pertaining to the migration activities undertaken by Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang. Subsequently, the data is scrutinized via the lens of Tasfir Al-Jalalayn. This study methodology employs the Living Qur’an by using data obtained from reputable sources such as Scopus, online journals, and internationally recognized and authoritative websites. The quality of the data and the methodologies used for data gathering are ensured by the utilization of the Publish or Perish tool. The research findings presented in this study pertain to the unique circumstances surrounding international immigration for the Uyghur Muslim population residing in Xinjiang. The study establishes a connection between the processes of isolation or migration and the potential for improved quality of life. The aforementioned perspective is derived from the Al-Jalalayn Book's interpretation of certain Quranic passages, including Surah An-Nisa verses 97 and 100 and At-Tawbah verse 40. These verses convey an exhortation to relocate to a more favorable environment to evade adverse circumstances like violence, injustice, and threats that may be prevalent in their current location. Similarly, Uyghur Muslims who relocated to Turkiye improved conditions regarding security, access to justice, and socioeconomic opportunities.Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis penilaian Migrasi Internasional Muslim Uyghurdari Cina ke Turki, dengan fokus pada penafsiran Al-Jalalayn.

Selanjutnya, data-data tersebut diteliti melalui lensa tafsir Al-Jalalayn. Metodologi penelitian ini menggunakan Living Qur'an, dengan menggunakan data yang diperoleh dari sumber-sumber terkemuka seperti Scopus, jurnal online, dan situs-situs yang diakui secara internasional yang dapat diverifikasi. Kualitas data dan metodologi yang digunakan untuk pengumpulan data dipastikan dengan penggunaan alat Publish or Perish. Temuan penelitian yang disajikan dalam penelitian ini berkaitan dengan keadaan unik seputar imigrasi internasional untuk populasi Muslim Uyghur yang tinggal di Xinjiang. Penelitian ini membangun hubungan antara proses isolasi atau migrasi dan potensi peningkatan kualitas hidup. Perspektif yang disebutkan di atas berasal dari penafsiran Kitab Al-Jalalain terhadap ayat-ayat Alquran tertentu, termasuk Surat An-Nisa ayat 97 dan 100, serta At-Taubah ayat 40. Ayat-ayat ini menyampaikan anjuran untuk pindah ke lingkungan yang lebih baik untuk menghindari keadaan yang tidak menguntungkan seperti kekerasan, ketidakadilan, dan ancaman yang mungkin lazim terjadi di lokasi mereka saat ini. Demikian pula, Muslim Uyghur yang pindah ke Turki mengalami kondisi yang lebih baik dalam hal keamanan, akses terhadap keadilan, dan peluang sosial ekonomi.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the social cohesiveness of Indonesian Muslim communities during Ramadan. Moral sense, sense of belonging, social har mony, sense of security, and tolerance in this study are used as indicators to understand social cohesiveness.  Data were collected through questionnaires with 600 respondents randomly selected in three districts/cities in West Sumatra and Yogyakarta provinces. The study found that two indicators of social cohesion were in the high category, namely a sense of morality (3.39 or 84.75%) and social harmony (3.30 or 82.50%), while three other indicators of social cohesion were in the medium category, namely a sense of belonging (2.34 or 58.50%), a sense of security (2.54 or 63.50%), and tolerance (2.70 or 67.50%). Thus, the social cohesion of the Muslim community during Ramadan is in the moderate category, with an average of 2.85 or equivalent to 71.17 percent. This study concludes that Ramadan has not contributed significantly to building social cohesiveness. The ambiguity of faith, which is ambiguous in understanding reality; sacred and profane, can be identified as one of the reasons why Ramadan has not been able to build social cohesiveness.
