Abstract

This article examines the religious communication strategies of ulama (Islamic scholars) in East Aceh; analyzing their role in promoting religious moderation. Using Lessl’s theory that argues religious communication is inherently metaphorical and involves metaphysical referents, this article highlights the important role of da’wa in encouraging the acceptance of the idea of moderation within the community. This article was based on qualitative research and two months field observations of Abati Aramia and Abah Zein’s pengajian (recitation), two young and influential ulama in East Aceh. The data validation process used data triangulation by connecting field data, observation and theory to get a complete understanding of the phenomenon. This paper argues that the influence of ulama in introducing religious moderation, particularly state-promoted ideas, into local contexts is crucial. Abah Zein employs a dialogical approach, making his da’wah interactive and responsive to societal needs, while Abati Aramia emphasizes collective dialogue and consensus for maintaining societal harmony. From this study it is concluded that the ulama’s communication strategies are integral to promoting Islamic moderation, bridging the gap between religious teachings and the everyday challenges faced by the community.

Abstract

This article examines the role of Islamic parties in West Sumatra concerning central-regional relations before and after the 1955 General Election, specifically during the 1950s. The historical study reveals that political landscape in Central Sumatra after the 1955 General Elections was non-linear.  Central Sematra was dominated by Islamic parties, especiallly Masyumi Party,  in contrast to the national election results, whichwere won by secular parties, especially the PNI. This discrepancy significantly impacted the escalation of conflict between the region and the central political authorities.  This central-regional conflict culminated in the PRRI rebellion between 1958 and 1961 which was not only contributed to the decline of Islamic parties but also reshaped  the historical narrative concerning the role of the Minangkabau ethnic group in Indonesia.

Abstract

Pesantren possess significant potential within the national economy, particularly through the development of entrepreneurship-based economic self-reliance. A notable example of success is Pesantren Riyadlul Jannah in Mojokerto, which has effectively established a sustainable business ecosystem. This research aims to explore the unique motivations driving entrepreneurial success within this pesantren, examining how their core values and beliefs are manifested in their business practices. Employing a qualitative methodology with a Grounded Theory approach, this study developed theory based on empirical data collected directly from the field. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, document analysis, and audio-visual methods. Participants were selected using purposive and snowball sampling techniques, encompassing pesantren leader, business unit managers, students, and other stakeholders. The findings revealed that entrepreneurial motivation at Pesantren Riyadlul Jannah was driven by distinctive Islamic values, namely jihad, dakwah, and wathaniyah. Jihad encouraged students to build economic self-reliance to uphold Islamic values and enhance community welfare. Dakwah instilled a strong work ethic and a spirit of community empowerment, while wathaniyah fostered active involvement in managing national resources to achieve national economic independence. This study underscores the pivotal role of spiritual values as a primary factor in pesantren entrepreneurship. In contrast to conventional theories, these findings demonstrate that religious values shape the mindset and business strategies of pesantren entrepreneurs. Beyond its role as an educational institution, the pesantren also serves as a center for Islamic-based economic empowerment.

Abstract

This study addresses the urgent need to understand how Islamic economics is discussed and perceived in the digital age, where social media has become a primary arena for shaping public opinion and financial literacy. Unlike earlier works that relied more on surveys or descriptive methods, this research utilizes Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine online conversations about zakat, waqf, and Islamic finance, and how ideology and power are reflected in these discourses. The findings reveal that Islamic economics has significant potential for growth through digital innovation, but faces challenges in financial literacy and product innovation. Theoretically, this study expands the application of CDA in Islamic economic discourse and provides practical contributions by offering insights into strengthening financial literacy, enhancing public education, and fostering innovation in Islamic financial products to ensure competitiveness in the digital economy. Therefore, it is crucial for all stakeholders to collaborate in improving public understanding and supporting the development of Islamic economics in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores the challenges and potential improvements of the roles and responsibilities of Musyrif/Musyrifah at Ma’had Al-Jamiah UIN Syahada Padangsidimpuan, focusing on the role of active students serving in these positions. Through document analysis, interviews with key stakeholders, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), the study identifies a significant imbalance between the academic responsibilities of student Musyrif/ah and their duties in dormitory mentoring and management. The indings of the research suggest that the transitionto full-time Musyrif/ah—individuals who are not concurrently enrolled in academicstudies—has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of the mentoring system and dormitoru management. However, the main challenges such as limited funding and infrastructure become obstacles to the implementasion of this programam. The study also highlights the importance of ongoing training and development programs to improve the competencies and qualifications of Musyrif/ah, including  the integrating technology into their roles. Based on these findings, the researchers recommendstrategic policies such as the recruitment of full-time professional Musyrif/ah, the allocationof special funds for dormitory operations, the provision of certified training, and the strengthening of the performance evaluation system. These reforms are considered essential to optimize the Musyrif/ah system to improve the quality of student guidance and management of Ma’had in Islamic higher education institutions.

Abstract

This study explores the metamorphosis of productive zakat through the integration of women empowerment in the Kampung Zakat (Zakat Village) program initiated by BAZNAS in Besole Village, Besuki District, Tulungagung Regency. Employing a qualitative approach based on interviews, observations, and documentation, the study reveals that productive zakat does not merely provide capital assistance, but also initiates a transformation process, economically, socially, and spiritually. Women, especially widows and members of low-income families, became empowered to support their households through small enterprises. More importantly, they were also encouraged to engage in daily giving practices (such as sadaqah subuh), which fostered spiritual growth and nurtures the transition from mustahik (zakat recipient) to muzakki (zakat contributor). This indicateed a metamorphosis from passive dependence to active contribution. The findings affirmed that productive zakat, when combined with structured empowerment and spiritual reinforcement, became an effective tool in realizing SDGs Goals 1 (No Poverty) and 5 (Gender Equality). This study contributes to the field of Islamic philanthropy and zakat management by proposing a contextual, replicable empowerment model that aligns with global development goals while offering practical implications for public policy and localized zakat distribution strategies

Abstract

The study aims to reveal the perspectives and interpretations of informants related to their involvement in mainstreaming the concept of child-friendly mosques. This research is a follow-up to our previous study on the concept of child-friendly mosque management. Therefore, this research explores the informants’ experiences during the process of mainstreaming this concept and reveals how they interpret their lived experiences within that process. Consequently, this study employs a phenomenological qualitative approach, which is used to explore informants’ interpretations of their life experiences. Data was collected through three well-known qualitative methods: observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. The findings show that informants hold different views, experiences, and understandings regarding the presence of children in mosques and the mainstreaming process in which they participate. The presence of children in mosques, as part of the process of familiarizing them with places of worship, presents its own challenges for mosque management and congregations. Mentoring children, strengthening mosque management, and maintaining communication with the congregation can reduce emerging resistance and reinforce the positive value of children’s presence in mosques

Abstract

This study aims to identify forms of religious moderation in Islamic-Dayak relations by examining: (1) the basic concept of tolerance in Islamic-Dayak relations, and (2) how these principles are practiced in everyday interreligious interactions. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research involved 15 participants, comprising academics, religious leaders, indigenous leaders, and Muslim community members in Palangka Raya City, Central Kalimantan. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s (1994) qualitative analysis model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that tolerance in Islam is grounded in the teachings of the Qur’an, while in Dayak communities, it is rooted in the Huma Betang philosophy. In practice,Islamic–Dayak tolerance is reflected through freedom of religious choice within families, mutual respect and appreciation, and efforts to maintain interfaith friendship. The study concludes that strengthening Islamic–Dayak relations requires reaffirming the values of Huma Betang and fostering creative and innovative forms of interaction that remain consistent with each community’s religious doctrines. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi bentuk-bentuk moderasi beragama dalam relasi Islam-Dayak dengan menelaah: (1) konsep dasar toleransi dalam hubungan Islam–Dayak, dan (2) bagaimana prinsip-prinsip tersebut dipraktikkan dalam interaksi antarumat beragama sehari-hari. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, penelitian ini melibatkan 15 partisipan yang terdiri atas akademisi, tokoh agama, tokoh adat, dan komunitas Muslim di Kota Palangka Raya, Kalimantan Tengah. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dan dianalisis menggunakan model analisis data kualitatif Miles dan Huberman (1994), yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa toleransi dalam Islam berakar pada ajaran Al-Qur’an, sedangkan dalam masyarakat Dayak toleransi tersebut berlandaskan pada ilosofi Huma Betang. Dalam praktiknya, toleransi Islam–Dayak tercermin melalui kebebasan memilih agama dalam lingkup keluarga, sikap saling menghormati, saling menghargai, serta upaya menjaga persahabatan lintas keyakinan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa penguatan hubungan Islam–Dayak memerlukan peneguhan kembali nilai-nilai Huma Betang serta pengembangan bentuk-bentuk relasi yang kreatif dan inovatif ang tetap selaras dengan doktrin keagamaan masing-masing komunitas.

Abstract

This study critically examines how Sufism, as the esoteric dimension of Islam, functions—and is contested—as a form of emancipatory praxis fostering human solidarity within hierarchically structured societies in South Asia. Historically, Sufism has contributed to the formation of spiritual and social spaces that potentially transcend religious, ethnic, and caste boundaries. Within Hindu-influenced cultural contexts marked by inherited caste stratification, Sufi teachings articulate an alternative ethical paradigm grounded in tawḥīd, rearticulated as a theological critique of caste hierarchy, religious elitism, and social stratification, alongside principles of universal love (maḥabbah). Drawing on Paulo Freire’s theory of social emancipation and Asghar Ali Engineer’s Islamic liberation theology, this study employs a qualitative critical approach To analyze both the emancipatory potential and structural limitations of Sufism as a humanistic practice. The analysis focuses on Sufi shrines, devotional practices, and inter-communal interactions as sites in which equality and solidarity are negotiated within everyday social life. The findings suggest that while Sufi praxis can generate inclusive spaces and foster critical awareness among marginalized communities, its emancipatory capacity remains contingent upon broader power relations, socio-economic inequalities, and the institutionalization of spiritual authority. Studi ini secara kritis mengkaji bagaimana Sufisme, sebagai dimensi esoteris Islam, berfungsi—dan sekaligus diperdebatkan—sebagai suatu bentuk praksis emansipatoris yang menumbuhkan solidaritas kemanusiaan dalam masyarakat Asia Selatan yang terstruktur secara hierarkis. Secara historis, Sufisme telah berkontribusi pada pembentukan ruang-ruang spiritual dan sosial yang berpotensi melampaui batas-batas agama, etnis, dan kasta. Dalam konteks kebudayaan yang dipengaruhi oleh tradisi Hindu dan ditandai oleh stratifikasi kasta yang diwariskan, ajaran-ajaran Sufi merumuskan suatu paradigma etis alternatif yang berlandaskan pada tawḥīd, yang direartikulasi sebagai kritik teologis terhadap sistem kasta, elitisme keagamaan, dan hierarki sosial, serta didukung oleh prinsip cinta universal (maḥabbah). Dengan merujuk pada teori emansipasi sosial Paulo Freire dan teologi pembebasan Islam Asghar Ali Engineer, studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif-kritis untuk menganalisis baik potensi emansipatoris maupun keterbatasan struktural Sufisme sebagai praktik humanistik. Analisis difokuskan pada makam-makam suci Sufi, praktik-praktik devosional, dan interaksi antar-komunitas sebagai arena tempat nilai-nilai kesetaraan dan solidaritas dinegosiasikan dalam kehidupan sosial sehari-hari. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun praksis Sufi mampu menciptakan ruang-ruang inklusif dan menumbuhkan kesadaran kritis di kalangan komunitas yang terpinggirkan, kapasitas emansipatorisnya tetap bergantung pada relasi kuasa yang lebih luas, ketimpangan sosial-ekonomi, serta proses institusionalisasi otoritas spiritual.

Abstract

This article examines the transformation of political Islam in Aceh, Indonesia, within the context of decentralized democracy. It traces the evolution of religious governance from insurgency and culturally embedded practices to the establishment of formal judicial and administrative systems. The research draws on qualitative fieldwork conducted in Aceh, combining document analysis, participant observation, field visits, and nine semi-structured interviews with actors from Islamic institutions, political bodies, and civil society organizations. The paper studies the embedding of Sharia into local governance through legal, institutional, and administrative mechanisms. The results show that Aceh’s post-conflict Islamic order developed along three primary trajectories: political reintegration, the codification of ideology into law, and the bureaucratization of religious practices. Sharia is operationalized through qanun legislation, Islamic courts, religious authorities, and enforcement agencies, resulting in a system where moral regulation is embedded within the state apparatus. This configuration enhances political legitimacy and Acehnese identity, yet it also generates challenges related to gender equality, minority rights, and democratic accountability. The article argues that Islamic governance in Aceh arises from institutional compromise rather than ideological dominance, underscoring both the capacity and constraints of political Islam in a pluralist democracy Artikel ini meneroka transformasi Islam politik di Aceh, Indonesia, dalam konteks demokrasi yang terdesentralisasi, dan menelusuri evolusi governansi keagamaan dari fase pemberontakan dan praktik keagamaan kultural menuju pembentukan sistem peradilan dan administrasi formal. Berdasarkan riset lapangan yang dilakukan di Banda Aceh, penelitian ini menggunakan wawancara, analisis dokumen, dan observasi partisipan. Artikel ini juga menelaah bagaimana Syariah dilembagakan dalam pemerintahan lokal melalui mekanisme hukum, institusional, dan administratif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tatanan Islam pasca-konflik di Aceh berkembang melalui tiga trajektori utama: reintegrasi politik, kodifikasi ideologi ke dalam hukum, dan birokratisasi praktik keagamaan. Syariah dioperasionalisasikan melalui legislasi qanun, peradilan Islam, otoritas keagamaan, dan lembaga penegakan hukum, sehingga menghasilkan suatu sistem di mana regulasi moral terintegrasi ke dalam aparatus negara. Konfigurasi ini memperkuat legitimasi politik dan identitas Aceh, namun sekaligus memunculkan tantangan terkait kesetaraan gender, hak-hak minoritas, dan akuntabilitas demokratis. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa governansi Islam di Aceh muncul dari kompromi institusional, bukan dari dominasi ideologis, yang menegaskan kapasitas sekaligus keterbatasan Islam politik dalam demokrasi pluralistik.
