Abstract

This research addresses the problem of religious education in Indonesia, which often focuses solely on theological education and causes alienation among religious communities. The study aims to explore religious literacy as an alternative to bridge this gap. This qualitative research uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) by Norman Fairclough, analyzing one transcript based on a video lecture in an academic setting, four videos on international seminars, one short school video, and two talk shows on “Religious Literacy Indonesia” on YouTube. The analysis examines how religious literacy is described in the current religious education discourse, identifies the scholars involved, and explores the implications of religious literacy on the discourse of religious education. The result shows that religious literacy in Indonesia has adapted to government policies and educational needs, focusing on practical skills for religious teachers and extension officers. It collaborates with the government for effectiveness but remains mostly within academic circles, with limited public understanding. Challenges include maintaining religious identity and boundaries in interfaith learning. Religious literacy is expected to build social trust, which requires creating shared moral spaces among different religions and aiming for positive outcomes in interfaith relations.

Abstract

The article is based on first findings of interdisciplinary research that is still in progress. It has to be understood as the science-based counter-speech against increasing anti-Muslim racism. Young Muslims are under surveillance of public and media attention in Germany. Islam is being debated in terms of regal and security politics and less within the signature of religion in terms of spirituality, aesthetics, life-world orientation, ethics, morale and religious life-styles. Hence, they are being transformed into a kind of ethnic tribe that needs special treatment. This comes along with the impending deployment of religious freedom as it is guaranteed by the German constitution. Especially right-wing nationalist and folkish consent has it that Muslims serve as a reason for redesigning religious politics in Germany that drifts away from the standards of human rights. The research findings presented here focus on juvenile Muslims as humans, pupils and citizens instead. It aims at a better understanding of their psychological and social framing. This plays an important role with regard to schooling in general and Islamic religious education in special. The findings are based upon the qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews. This contribution also takes theological and anthropological aspects into account. In the end preliminary recommendations for changes in the educational setting are given.

Abstract

The Pasambahan Tradition Ceremonial Oration of Batagak Gala Penghulu (BGP) in Minangkabau reflects the communal identity of the Minangkabau society, particularly in communicating, making dialogs and being in dynamics based on the demand of democratic values as understood by the people of the Minangkabau. Thus, through pasambahan tradition, the process of education in good characters and manners is created, which can explicitly be seen through negotiation activity (bapasambahan). To identify the religious and harmonious values, the author examined pasambahan text and ceremonial oration of BGP which were written for learning purposes by Musdah Dahrizal (Mak Katik) by taking some stanza/lines in the text that show religious and harmonious values. The folklore and semiotics approaches are used in analyzing the religious and harmonious values based on reasoning of the people of Minang in accordance with the customs which are used on daily basis. This research reveals that the tradition of pasambahan and ceremonial oration in BGP have essential positions in the custom of the Minangkabau, where the tradition is a depiction of the identity of the Minang clan. The traditions reflect religious and harmonious values which can be seen in the form and content of the pasambahan tradition and ceremonial oration in BGP in Minangkabau, such as inferiority, fairness, politeness, inclusion of religious symbols, mutual cooperation, deliberation, and mutual respect among clans.

Abstract

Kupang City, located in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province, stands out for its notable success in fostering tolerance among religious communities. Its significance lies in (a) being the largest city in NTT, (b) having a longstanding history of Islamic development, and (c) the proclamation of local leaders demonstrating a firm commitment to preserving Kupang as an exemplar of religious harmony. In light of these aspects, the authors conducted qualitative field research on Muslim village communities in Kupang to explore how harmony is maintained among religious groups. This research is based on the theoretical assumption that understanding the world requires a native point of approach, relying on the researcher's perspective. The findings reveal that a crucial foundation for harmony among religious communities is the residents' highly tolerant attitude, reflecting the active tolerance embedded in local wisdom. This local wisdom is further reinforced by the recognition of diversity as a defining feature of Kupang City's identity. The actualization of this value is evident in religious and cultural traditions, exemplified by the Siripuan tradition in Airmata Village. The dynamic nature of harmony among religious communities is underscored, with one contributing factor being the lower positive feelings experienced by minorities compared to the majority. Addressing this discrepancy is crucial for anticipating and mitigating potential challenges among Muslim minorities.

A number of less complex traditional medicine practices also operated within small and sometimes isolated groups based largely on local experience since the very long time ago. Historical contribution of traditional medicine as one of complementary or alternative therapy is unquestionably recognized amongst the people of the world-wide. The Acehnese manuscripts written by ulamas, aligned from Muslim prior generations within a care giver environment cannot be denied its existence. One of the important subject contents is related to traditional medication applied since the very past time. This paper describes traditional medication written in the Acehnese manuscripts, of which particularly might be useful for handling the virus appeared today. With the use of philological and historical approach, uses text and contextual analysis, the paper highlights some findings, that the three Acehnese manuscripts -- Ar-Rahmah Fi at-Tibb wa Al-Hikmah, a manuscript of Teungku Nurdin, and a manuscript of Teungku Amir -- explain traditional medical treatment preventing the disease outbreak. Historically, the Acehnese used traditional medication therapy by means of consuming herbs beside staying as close as possible to religion and intensifying prayer to God. Due to its practical function as one of effective therapy and the valuable cultural legacy, the Acehnese manuscripts of traditional medication need any professional preservation, conservation, and reproduction for enriching the Nusantara’s civilization.

Abstract

 The events of 9/11 era had a number of dramatic results for ‘Islam’ and the Muslim world; and one such result was a surplus of endeavors through various mediums to conceptualize, hypothesize, and posit an ostensible ‘divide’ between ‘Islam’ (as a religion, ideology, and political system) and Western culture and society. In post- 9/11 era, Islam was frequently used as a ‘violent’ and ‘terrorist’ religion and, on the other, there has been a prodigious demand for information about Islam, and things related to Islam. It gave a momentum, in the years to come, to an issue (among a multiple of issues and discourses) referred as “Islamism”—a term/ label, in many senses, used collectively but commonly for “Islamic fundamentalism”, “Islamic extremism”, “Islamic conservatism”, “radicalism”, “political Islam”, etc. This paper, in this backdrop, presents an assessment of the recent scholarship on “Islamism” as a discourse. It highlights and presents a detailed evaluation and estimation, with some critical and comparative notes, on some important works dealing with various aspects and facets of Islamism (radicalism and political Islam), and puts forward some insights on the future prospects of ‘Islamism’ as a discourse.

Abstract

Hinduism in Indonesia has been embraced in various ways. In addition to individual adoption, the conversion to Hinduism has also be performed through religious groups, which later develop by adjusting the local customs. The distinction between one adherent to another is essentially unified by the same theology. Panca Sraddha is one of the binders of Buddhis’ belief to Brahman, Atman, Karmaphala, Punarbhawa or Samsara, and Moksa. By utilizing this similarity, people who belong to Hinduism in Indonesia can live in harmony with other fellow Hindus as well as other religious communities, including Indonesian "indigenous religion" followers. Taking the fact into account; however, there are some Sampradaya or spiritual groups which aim to study the religion deeply by making the Vedic scriptures as the only source of the teachings which might lead them into certain challenging situations in terms of living in harmonious life. The problematic situations were addressed through this qualitative research, which employed interviews, observations, as well as document analysis as source of data. This study concludes that the three religious spiritual groups in Hinduism described in this article are now well-welcomed as an integral part of Indonesian Hindus and members of community in general, although they initially have been rejected at the beginning of their development. In keeping harmony among religious believers, these three spiritual groups, Hare Krishna, Sai Baba, and Brahma Kumaris are actively managing pleasant relations with the Indonesian government, Hindu councils, traditional Hindus, and other religious communities. They have performed strategies of dialogue, cooperation, and social service through humanitarian activities based on love and universal values.

Abstract

The understanding of moko is related to the identity of the Alor people. Historically, moko was brought from Vietnam and became a heirloom which was passed down from generation to generation. In practice, moko can be used as a dowry of marriage, clan identity, musical instruments, and several other uses. This study provides novelty on the moko symbolization as a socio-religious harmony of Alor society. The problem to be resolved in this research is “how does the moko symbolize socio-religious harmony in the people of Alor, East Nusa Tenggara?” The theoretical concept used in this article is Geertz’s ‘religious as the cultural system” which is paired with Epicurus' opinion about the three levels of harmony. This study used the phenomenological method of Edmund Husserl.  The results of this study are moko symbolization as a rhythmic leader of musical instruments related with social messages in the ownership it and the function of moko as a dowry of marriage. In addition, the results of the study also show that the symbolization of moko becomes a part of the harmony embodiment in the life of the Alor people. This symbolization process occurs at the level of ideas and manifests in behavior. The novelty in this research is the characteristics of the Alor community as a heterogeneous society place the symbols of a set of conventions. Moko as part of the convention symbol embodies social harmonization. This part becomes an interesting character because moko is not an original object from the Alor community, but it has been adopted as a cultural symbol. Social harmonization occurs at the level of ideas which are adhered to customary law. This really depends on the values held in society.

Abstract

During the last four months of the year 2016 in Jakarta in concomitant with the campaign period for 2017 governor election, the supposed hate speeches phenomenon sparkled everywhere either openly uttered or written expressed in social media as well as flyers spreading out in any places of the city. It seems that Muslim population of Jakarta was partly doing such hate speeches against incumbent Governor, a Chinese and a Christian, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok), and his Muslim supporters. It is interesting to know how it happened in eastern Indonesia where Muslim is the minority. This qualitative research wants to elaborate and to explore to what extent the Islamic preaching deals with hate speech phenomenon in Kupang city. In order to reach data the researcher applied some methods such as in-depth interview, observation and literature study. In essence, Islamic proselytizing or dakwah in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, has been still persisted today. It targets solely for Muslim. Islamic proselytizing for non-Muslim is impossible because they are minority in this city. Technically, religious teaching doesn’t use loud speaker machine except for prayer callings (azan and iqamat)), Dakwah activist in Kupang usually tries to hinder the possibility of hate speech possibly sounded by Muslim clerics. In addition, there is a local mechanism run by mosque management for not being tolerance to hate speech through a set of guidance. Then, the issued guidance is sent to the invited preacher several days before to help preacher avoiding of hate speech.
