Abstract

This article analyzes how a regional library in Indonesia functions as a cultural agent in preserving Islamic values embedded in the Pacu Jalur tradition. Grounded in a cultural literacy framework, this study employs a qualitative case study approach, with primary data collected through in-depth interviews with 12 key informants (librarians, community leaders, and users), participatory observation, and document analysis at the Kuantan Singingi Library and Archives Office. The findings reveal that the library implements three-pronged strategy: curating specialized collections, organizing community-based literacy activities, and utilizing digital media for wider dissemination. The study’s core novelty lies in its effort to bridge library science and local cultural studies, offering an alternative model for how institutional actors can systematically safeguard living traditions as expressions of Islamic civilization. The analysis also affirms the role of libraries in sustaining values such as ukhuwwah (brotherhood), discipline, and spirituality, while noting challenges related to limited resources and digital infrastructure. The article concludes by proposing practical strategies—including digitization, cross-sector partnerships, and librarian capacity building—to strengthen libraries as custodians of local Islamic heritage. Artikel ini menganalisis peran perpustakaan daerah sebagai agen budaya dalam melestarikan nilai-nilai Islam dalam tradisi Pacu Jalur. Berlandaskan kerangka literasi budaya, studi kualitatif kasus ini mengumpulkan data primer melalui wawancara mendalam dengan 12 informan kunci (pustakawan, tokoh masyarakat, dan pengguna), observasi partisipatif, dan analisis dokumen pada Dinas Perpustakaan dan Kearsipan Kabupaten Kuantan Singingi. Hasil penelitian mengungkap tiga strategi utama: penyediaan koleksi khusus, penyelenggaraan kegiatan literasi berbasis komunitas, dan pemanfaatan media digital untuk diseminasi. Kebaruan inti penelitian ini terletak pada upaya menjembatani ilmu perpustakaan dan studi budaya lokal secara empiris, menawarkan model alternatif tentang bagaimana aktor kelembagaan dapat secara sistematis menjaga tradisi hidup sebagai ekspresi peradaban Islam. Studi ini juga menegaskan peran perpustakaan dalam menjaga nilai-nilai seperti ukhuwwah, disiplin, dan spiritualitas, sekaligus menyoroti keterbatasan sumber daya dan infrastruktur digital. Artikel ditutup dengan menawarkan sejumlah strategi praktis—termasuk digitalisasi, kemitraan lintas sektor, dan peningkatan kapasitas pustakawan—untuk memperkuat perpustakaan sebagai penjaga warisan Islam lokal.

Abstract

This article examines why Yemen’s post–Arab Spring democratic transition failed, asking how civil war reshaped political outcomes in a fragile democratization context. While existing studies often treat civil war as a consequence or background condition, this article advances the novel argument that armed conflict functioned as a decisive causal mechanism that transformed political incentives, eroded institutions, and displaced democratic competition with coercive power. Drawing on Democratic Peace Theory, the study argues that in systems marked by weak institutions and fragmented elite coalitions, incomplete democratization may intensify conflict rather than constrain it. Methodologically, the article employs a Comparative Historical Analysis that combines longitudinal data from the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) dataset (2010–2025) with qualitative evidence from policy reports and academic sources. Process tracing is used to reconstruct critical junctures, including the 2011 transition agreement, the failure of the National Dialogue Conference, and the 2014 Houthi takeover. Yemen is analyzed as a negative case in comparison with post–Arab Spring transitions that avoided civil war. The findings demonstrate that Yemen’s democratic failure was not driven solely by elite bargaining failures or sectarian polarization, but by civil war itself, which reconfigured elite strategies, accelerated institutional collapse, and produced path-dependent authoritarian outcomes

Abstract

This article examines the wave of violence triggered by accusations of witchcraft (dukun santet) in Banyuwangi between 1998 and 1999, which resulted in more than 194 deaths. The killings emerged amid the political, economic, and social crises preceding the collapse of Indonesia’s New Order regime. Accusations of santet were not merely expressions of popular belief but were actively produced and instrumentalized as tools of mass mobilization. Political stigmatization that associated alleged witches with communism, combined with the interests of both local and supra-local actors, significantly accelerated the scale and spread of violence. The study analyzes the relationship between witchcraft accusations and violent mobilization during a period of political transition by mapping key actors, networks, and patterns of action. It further examines how myths, rumors, and collective imaginaries functioned to legitimize killing. In addition, the article assesses the broader socio-cultural consequences of the killings, particularly their impact on civic identity, collective memory, and shifting configurations of power in the Reformasi era. Methodologically, the research combines empirical analysis and theoretical reflection, drawing on Charles Tilly’s concept of violence and Claude Lévi-Strauss’s theory of myth. Primary sources include court and police records, the East Java Regional Archives, reports from the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM), and contemporary mass media coverage. The findings show that political, economic, and cultural dynamics shaped violence and effects on Banyuwangi’s social identity and collective memory. Artikel ini mengkaji gelombang kekerasan yang dipicu oleh tuduhan ilmu sihir (dukun santet) di Banyuwangi pada 1998-1999 yang mengakibatkan lebih dari 194 kematian. Pembunuhan-pembunuhan tersebut terjadi di tengah krisis politik, ekonomi, dan sosial menjelang runtuhnya rezim Orde Baru di Indonesia. Tuduhan santet tidak semata-mata merupakan ekspresi kepercayaan popular, melainkan secara aktif diproduksi dan dimanfaatkan sebagai sarana mobilisasi massa. Stigmatisasi politik yang mengaitkan para terduga penyihir dengan komunisme, yang dikombinasikan dengan kepentingan aktor-aktor lokal dan supra-lokal, berperan besar dalam mempercepat dan memperluas eskalasi kekerasan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengungkap hubungan antara tuduhan santet dan mobilisasi kekerasan masa transisi politik, memetakan aktor-aktor kunci, jaringan, dan pola-pola tindakan. Lebih lanjut, artikel ini menganalisis bagaimana mitos, rumor, serta imajinasi kolektif berfungsi untuk melegitimasi pembunuhan. Selain itu, studi ini menilai dampak sosial-budaya yang lebih luas dari pembunuhan tersebut, khususnya terhadap identitas kewargaan, ingatan kolektif, dan perubahan konfigurasi kekuasaan pada era Reformasi. Secara metodologis, penelitian ini menggabungkan analisis empiris dan refleksi teoretis, dengan merujuk pada konsep kekerasan kolektif Charles Tilly dan teori mitos Claude Lévi-Strauss. Sumber-sumber primer meliputi arsip pengadilan dan kepolisian, Arsip Daerah Jawa Timur, laporan Komisi Nasional Hak Asasi Manusia (Komnas HAM), serta pemberitaan media massa sezaman. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dinamika politik, ekonomi, dan sosial-budaya membentuk kekerasan tersebut serta berdampak pada identitas social dan memori kolektif masyarakat Banyuwangi.

Abstract

Nigeria is characterized by significant religious diversity, especially between Islam and Christianity, which has historically led to frequent horizontal conflicts influenced by religious, social, political, and economic factors. The tensions have been further exacerbated by religious conversion disputes, the enforcement of Sharia law in several northern states, socioeconomic disparities, and the rise of extremist organizations such as Boko Haram. This essay seeks to analyze the influence of Islamic teachings in promoting harmonious coexistence and explores the participation of Muslim youth in addressing Muslim–Christian disputes in Nigeria. This study utilizes a qualitative, library-based research methodology, drawing on primary Islamic texts (the Qur’an and Hadith), relevant scholarly literature, and documented of religious conflict and peacebuilding in Nigeria. The results demonstrate that Islamic teachings significantly prioritize justice, tolerance, compassion, discussion, and forgiveness as essential tenets for harmonious coexistence within religiously diverse communities. These ethical norms are both normative and provide practical guidelines for conflict resolution. Moreover, the study highlights the crucial role of Muslim youth in Nigeria as agents of peace through their involvement in interfaith discussion, community-based projects, peace education, and grassroots organizations that involve young individuals from diverse religious backgrounds. Their active involvement fosters the restoration of trust, diminishes bias, and interrupts cycles of violence among religious communities. This study suggests that the incorporation of Islamic ethical values and the proactive involvement of Muslim youth significantly contribute to sustained reconciliation and harmonious cohabitation between Muslims and Christians in Nigeria. Nigeria merupakan negara dengan keragaman agama yang tinggi, terutama Islam dan Kristen, yang dalam sejarahnya kerap mengalami konflik horizontal bernuansa keagamaan, sosial, politik, dan ekonomi. Ketegangan tersebut diperparah oleh isu konversi agama, penerapan hukum syariah di beberapa negara bagian Nigeria Utara, ketimpangan pembangunan, serta munculnya kelompok ekstremis seperti Boko Haram. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran ajaran Islam tentang koeksistensi damai serta keterlibatan generasi muda Muslim dalam upaya rekonsiliasi konflik antara Muslim dan Kristen di Nigeria. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka dengan mengkaji sumber-sumber primer Islam (al-Qur’an dan hadis), literatur akademik, serta laporan dan dokumen terkait konflik dan perdamaian di Nigeria. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa ajaran Islam secara normatif menekankan nilai keadilan, toleransi, kasih sayang, dialog, dan pemaafan sebagai fondasi koeksistensi damai dalam masyarakat plural. Nilai-nilai ini tidak hanya relevan secara teologis, tetapi juga memiliki implikasi praktis dalam proses rekonsiliasi konflik. Selain itu, generasi muda Muslim di Nigeria memainkan peran strategis sebagai agen perdamaian melalui dialog lintas agama, kegiatan sosial bersama, pendidikan perdamaian, dan gerakan akar rumput yang melibatkan pemuda lintas iman. Keterlibatan aktif generasi muda ini memperkuat upaya rekonsiliasi dengan membangun kepercayaan, mengurangi prasangka, serta memutus siklus kekerasan antar komunitas. Dengan demikian, integrasi ajaran Islam tentang koeksistensi damai dan partisipasi generasi muda Muslim memiliki kontribusi signifikan dalam membangun perdamaian berkelanjutan antara Muslim dan Kristen di Nigeria.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how religious trauma among Indonesian Muslim diasporas is produced, reproduced, and negotiated in digital spaces, and how these experiences contribute to the transformation of religious identity in a global-digital context. Beyond the experience of physical migration, Indonesian Muslim diaspora engage in ongoing religious identity negotiation through sustained exposure to digitally mediated religious norms circulating within transnational online publics. Employing a qualitative case-study approach, the research analyzes approximately 150 units of digital data collected from YouTube and TikTok between 2021–2024, including short videos, comment threads, and public interviews involving Indonesian Muslim diaspora figures. The data were examined through thematic digital discourse analysis combined with a social exegesis approach. The findings indicate that religious trauma is largely generated through digitally mediated moral judgment, the algorithmic amplification of rigid religious narratives, and the public delegitimation of individual religious choices. At the same time, digital platforms function as counter-spaces for healing, enabling narrative expression, community support, and inclusive reinterpretations of Islamic teachings. This study proposes the concept of digitally mediated religious trauma. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis bagaimana trauma religius di kalangan diaspora Muslim Indonesia diproduksi, direproduksi, dan dinegosiasikan di ruang digital, serta bagaimana pengalaman tersebut berkontribusi terhadap transformasi identitas keagamaan dalam konteks global-digital. Diaspora Muslim Indonesia mengalami proses negosiasi identitas religius tidak hanya melalui pengalaman migrasi, tetapi juga melalui paparan berkelanjutan terhadap norma-norma keagamaan yang termediasi secara digital dan beredar dalam ruang publik daring transnasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus yang melibatkan sekitar 150 unit data digital yang dikumpulkan dari platform YouTube dan TikTok pada periode 2021–2024, meliputi video pendek, kolom komentar, dan wawancara publik yang melibatkan figur diaspora Muslim Indonesia. Analisis data dilakukan melalui analisis wacana digital tematik yang dipadukan dengan pendekatan tafsir sosial. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa trauma religius terutama dihasilkan melalui penghakiman moral yang termediasi secara digital, amplifikasi algoritmik terhadap narasi keagamaan yang rigid, serta delegitimasi publik atas pilihan keagamaan personal. Di sisi lain, platform digital juga berfungsi sebagai ruang tandingan bagi proses pemulihan melalui artikulasi naratif, dukungan komunitas, dan reinterpretasi ajaran Islam yang lebih inklusif. Penelitian ini mengajukan konsep trauma religius termediasi digital.

Abstract

The phenomenon of the diversity of religious understandings of Islamic mass organizations in Indonesia promotes a variety of attitudes in the midst of society.  The purpose of this study was to analyze the results of a comparative study of religious understanding of Persatuan Umat Islam (PUI) and Al-Irsyad al-Islamiyyah reviewing the similarities and differences in building ukhuwah Islamiyah. This study employed a qualitative approach and a descriptive method.  In relation to the data collection techniques, this study employed several techniques such as interviews, observation, and documentation study. Furthermore, the collected data were analyzed using a descriptive analysis.  Based on the results of the study, it is obvious that the historical background of the establishment of PUI and Al-Irsyad was definitely different with each other. PUI was established as a result of blending the two different Islamic organizations. On the other hand, al-Irsyad was established as the continuation of the former organization called Jamiatul Khair. With respect to the faith understandings, both PUI and al-Irsyad adopted the same understanding, Aqidah ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah.  In the realm of worship practices, PUI adopted the understanding of the Shafi'i schools of thought, while Al-Irsyad al-Islamiyyah referred directly to the Qur'an and the Sunnah through the understanding of their scholars. In addition, in understanding Tasawwuf, PUI provided flexibility to each individual in regard to the tarekat involvement, while Al-Irsyad al-Islamiyyah in principle did not adopt the concept of Tasawwuf.  Al-Salam, Ishlah al-Samaniyah, santri asromo, santri lucu and intisab were considered as a series of unique concepts adopted by PUI.  On the other hand, the initial basic principle of the Al-Irsyad Al-Islamiyyah movement was to realize equality in the lives of fellow Muslims based on the understandings as postulated within the Quran and the Sunnah, and to remove the innovation practices (bid'ah) in terms of the faith as stated in the mabadi of Al-Irsyad.  In terms of the charitable efforts, these two organizations put more concern primarily on the realms of religion, education, economy, and social. Therefore, as the implication of this issue, the society will behave wisely in regard to the differences in Islamic understandings of Islamic mass organizations in the midst of society.Fenomena beragamnya paham keagamaan organisasi massa Islam yang ada di Indonesia menimbulkan beragam sikap di tengah-tengah kehidupan masyarakat. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis hasil studi komparasi pemahaman keagamaan Persatuan Umat Islam dan Al-Irsyad al-Islamiyyah tinjauan persamaan dan perbedaan dalam membangun ukhuwah Islamiyah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode deskriptif. Teknik pengambilan data dengan wawancara, observasi dan studi dokumentasi.  Data-data yang sudah diperoleh kemudian dianalisis melalui analisis deskriptif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, terdapat perbedaan sejarah berdirinya PUI dan Al-Irsyad. PUI terlahir dari gabungan 2 ormas Islam yang berbeda, adapun Al-Irsyad terlahir dari ormas Jamiatul Khair. Dalam pemahaman ‘aqidah, PUI dan Al-Irsyad sama-sama menganut paham ‘aqidah Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah. Dalam pengamalan ibadah, PUI mengadopsi pemahaman madzhab Syafi’i rahimahullah, adapun Al-Irsyad al-Islamiyyah merujuk langsung kepada al-Qur’an dan Sunnah melalui pemahaman ulama mereka. Dalam pemahaman Tasawuf, PUI memberikan keleluasaan kepada pribadi masing-masing untuk mengikuti tarekat manapun, adapun Al-Irsyad al-Islamiyyah secara pemahaman tidak mengadopsi konsep tasawuf. PUI memiliki prinsip khas yakni konsep al-Salam, Ishlah al-Samaniyah, santri asromo, santri lucu dan intisab. Adapun prinsip pokok awal gerakan Al-Irsyad al-Islamiyyah yakni mewujudkan kesetaraan dalam kehidupan sesama muslim berdasar pemahaman yang bersumber dari al-Quran dan sunnah, menumpas praktik bid’ah dalam hal akidah sebagaimana yang tercantum dalam mabadi Al-Irsyad al-Islamiyyah.  Dari segi amal usaha kedua ormas ini memiliki kesamaan dalam bidang keagamaan, pendidikan, ekonomi, dan sosial. Implikasinya dalam menyikapi perbedaan paham keagamaan ormas Islam di tengah-tengah masyarakat akan semakin bijaksana.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of commercialization factors, covering profitability, regulation, and competition, on the social performance of Islamic rural banks that cater specifically to the Muslim community.  As a community banking institution operating by Islamic principles, Islamic rural banks are faced with two performance targets, namely financial performance and social performance, both of which are interrelated. This study is quantitative research based on a survey on six units of Islamic rural banks in West Sumatra. Data from the financial services authority and other financial documents at Islamic rural banks are analyzed with panel data regression. The findings of this research show that profitability and competition influence social performance. Meanwhile, there is no regulation’s impact on social performance.  Regulatory factors that were initially expected to strengthen the social responsibility mission of Islamic rural banks did not stimulate the increase of social performance. This study reveals the importance of the commercialization factor in improving the social performance of Islamic rural banks which aims at increasing the social benefits for the low-income Muslim community.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji dampak dari faktor-faktor komersialisasi yang meliputi profitabilitas, regulasi dan kompetisi terhadap kinerja sosial BPR Syariah khususnya kepada penggunanya yaitu masyarakat Muslim. Sebagai sebuah community banking yang beroperasi dalam prinsip-prinsip Islam, BPR Syariah dihadapkan pada dua target kinerja yaitu kinerja keuangan dan kinerja sosial yang keduanya saling terkait. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif berdasarkan survei pada enam unit BPR Syariah di provinsi Sumatera Barat, Data dikumpulkan dari Otoritas Jasa Keuangan dan dokumen di BPR Syariah kemudian dianalisis dengan regresi data panel. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa profitabilitas dan persaingan berpengaruh terhadap kinerja sosial, sedangkan regulasi tidak berpengaruh terhadap kinerja sosial. Faktor regulasi yang semula diharapkan memperkuat misi tanggung jawab sosial BPR syariah, ternyata tidak merangsang peningkatan kinerja sosial. Studi ini mengungkap akan pentingnya faktor komersialisasi dalam meningkatkan kinerja sosial BPR syariah dengan meningkatkan manfaat sosial untuk masyarakat Muslim berpenghasilan rendah.

Abstract

This article focuses on an inaccurate understanding of Islam that causes hatred, anxiety, and unfounded fear of the Muslim community. On account of this view of Islam, Muslims face hostility, discrimination, intolerance, and racism. This attitude is increasingly seen in mass media propaganda that presents a partial and inaccurate view of the religion. Islam is presented as a violent belief system and is responsible for radicalism and terrorism. The media greatly influences social reality. They function as a spectacle, but they also influence public opinion on a range of issues. The research design of this paper uses literature review with descriptive analysis. The results show that internalizing the Islamic value of rahmatan lil alamin (“being a mercy to the world”) through the media is a solution that can rectify misconceptions about Islam. Along with the foundation of amar ma’ruf nahi munkar (“enjoining the good and forbidding the evil”), the value of “being a mercy to the world” can transform people into educators (muaddib), agents of correct information (musaddid), reformers (mujaddid), unifiers (muwahhid), and fighters (mujahid). Artikel ini fokus terhadap pemahaman Islam dengan perspektif yang salah, sehingga menimbulkan kebencian, kecemasan, dan ketakutan yang tidak berdasar serta berlebihan kepada individu maupun komunitas Islam. Akibatnya timbul permusuhan, diskriminasi, intoleransi, dan rasisme. Sikap ini semakin terlihat melalui propaganda media massa yang menampilkan kontroversi yang tidak benar dan parsial terhadap Islam, media merepresentasikan Islam dengan kekerasan dan radikal melalui fenomena terorisme. Kehadiran media sangat berpengaruh terhadap realitas sosial yang tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai tontonan tetapi menjadi tuntunan yang menggiring opini publik dalam merubah sikap, pandangan, dan perilaku. Desain penelitian menggunakan literature review dengan analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Internalisasi nilai-nilai Islam rahmatan lil alamin melalui media merupakan solusi dalam meluruskan pemahaman yang keliru tentang Islam, yang berfungsi sebagai pendidik (muaddib), agen informasi yang benar (musaddid), menjadi pembaharu (mujaddid), pemersatu (muwahhid), dan pejuang (mujahid) dengan dasar amar ma’ruf nahi munkar.

Abstract

The high rate of forest conversion in Indonesia required further actions to overcome. One of the solutions is through waqf (endowment) forest, a forest developed on waqf land. According to Islamic law, a waqf forest cannot be sold, granted, inherited, or changed unreasonably. Previous researches generally focused more on the potential and prospect of cash waqf or land waqf for forest protection. On the other hand, a study to enhancing waqf forest sustainability still needs to be developed, especially in Indonesia. This paper aims to observe the practice of agroforestry to enhance the sustainability of waqf forest, with the case study location in the Bogor Waqf Forest, Cibunian Village, Pamijahan District, Bogor Regency, Indonesia. The present study was conducted from March 2019 until June 2021, using a literature study, observation, and in-depth interview method then analyzed descriptively. Agroforestry practices are chosen in the case study location, such as agrosilvicultural, agrosilvopastoral, and agrosilvofishery. Based on the Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) goals, agroforestry practices in waqf forests are estimated to extend forest resources, increase biodiversity, forest health, forest production, and protection functions, and contribute to social and economic development benefits. Tingginya alihfungsi lahan hutan di Indonesia memerlukan usaha lebih untuk mengatasinya. Salah satu solusinya adalah melalui program hutan wakaf, yaitu hutan yang dibangun di atas tanah wakaf. Berdasarkan hukum Islam, hutan wakaf tidak boleh dijual, diberikan, diwariskan, dan diubah fungsi lahannya tanpa alasan yang dibenarkan. Penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya lebih berfokus pada potensi dan prospek dari wakaf uang atau wakaf tanah untuk melindungi hutan. Studi mengenai upaya pelestarian hutan wakaf masih perlu untuk dilakukan, terutama di Indonesia. Studi ini dilakukan pada bulan Maret tahun 2019 hingga Juni tahun 2021, berlokasi di Hutan Wakaf Bogor, Desa Cibunian, Pamijahan, Kabupaten Bogor, Indonesia, menggunakan metode studi literatur, observasi lapang, dan wawancara pakar yang kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif. Beberapa praktik agroforestri dipilih untuk diaplikasikan pada lokasi studi, seperti agrosilvikultura, agrosilvopastoral, dan agrosilvofishery. Berdasarkan tujuan pengelolaan hutan lestari (SFM), praktik agroforestri pada hutan wakaf diestimasikan tidak hanya meningkatkan sumber daya hutan, biodiversitas, kesehatan, produksi, dan perlindungan hutan, tetapi juga memiliki manfaat sosial dan ekonomi.

Abstract

This article seeks to explain the significance of Tabayyun's practice as conflict resolution in Indonesian society. Indonesia is a multicultural country with considerable potential for conflict. To prevent that, it is necessary to be aware in the community to be open to each other and try to find clarity on a problem/information so as not to cause prolonged conflict. In Islamic Theology, the practice is called Tabbayun. The research problem in this study is the extent to which the significance of Tabayyun's practice can be a conflict resolution in Indonesian society? This research uses a qualitative approach using library methods and is also supported by data from interviews with Muslim figures who have practiced tabayyun in resolving conflicts in society. The results of this study show that tabayyun practice has a very big meaning in solving social conflicts in Indonesian society because it can improve the quality of information conveyed and received, clarify the root causes in a conflict, prevent disasters due to unclear root problems in conflict, and foster social ethics based on religious values in Islamic theology.Artikel ini berupaya menjelaskan pentingnya praktik Tabayyun sebagai penyelesaian konflik di masyarakat Indonesia. Masalah penelitian dalam penelitian ini adalah sejauh mana signifikansi praktik Tabayyun dapat menjadi penyelesaian konflik di masyarakat Indonesia?. Indonesia adalah negara multikultural dengan potensi konflik yang cukup besar. Untuk mencegah hal itu, perlu diwaspadai di masyarakat untuk saling terbuka dan berusaha mencari kejelasan sebuah permasalahan/informasi agar tidak menimbulkan konflik yang berkepanjangan. Dalam Teologi Islam, praktik ini disebut Tabbayun. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode kepustakaan dan juga didukung dengan data hasil wawancara dengan tokoh-tokoh muslim yang telah mengamalkan tabayyun dalam menyelesaikan konflik di masyarakat. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa praktik Tabayyun memiliki arti yang sangat besar dalam penyelesaian konflik sosial di masyarakat Indonesia karena dapat meningkatkan kualitas informasi yang disampaikan dan diterima, memperjelas akar permasalahan dalam sebuah konflik, mencegah bencana karena ketidakjelasan akar permasalahan dalam konflik, dan menumbuhkan etika sosial berdasarkan nilai-nilai agama dalam teologi Islam.
