Abstract

Muslim students who attend Catholic institutions engage with Catholic religious education classes by bringing a variety of narratives to the fore. The aim of this study employs how these students contribute diverse narratives to the classroom, which intertwine with a range of challenges and struggles. Through an in-depth examination of the experiences of ten (10) participants enrolled in Catholic institutions, the researchers employ qualitative research techniques, including interviews and verbatim transcriptions. They identify significant patterns, behaviors, and distinguishing characteristics essential to the case's setting through a careful categorizing procedure. Positive experiences, such as a sense of happiness and inclusion, fostering interfaith connections, and promoting a broader comprehension of Catholic religious beliefs and practices, emerge from the findings. Conversely, negative encounters, including unmet accommodation needs, challenges in understanding unfamiliar doctrines, academic struggles, and limited class participation, prompt the development of coping strategies. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for educators, school administrators, and policymakers within Catholic institutions. By recognizing and addressing the challenges encountered by Muslim students, these results foster the establishment of learning environments that are inclusive and provide meaningful support. Moreover, the study underscores the importance of interfaith dialogue within educational settings, contributing to a more harmonious and enriching experience for all students involved.

Abstract

The focal point of this research is the hybrid investor behavior and maqaá¹£id of sharia. Understanding maqaá¹£id of sharia is the right solution to negative public perceptions of investment in the Islamic capital market. Hybrid investor behavior comprises two variables: perceived risk and behavioral hybrid, which lead to different results. This study aims to find new theories about the behavior of hybrid investors towards stock options with maqaá¹£id of sharia as a moderating variable to strengthen scientific thinking to conceptually and contextually identify, evaluate, and execute the existing problems in choosing sharia stocks. This was an explanatory research study with a nonexperimental research design. This study used a quantitative method, and data were collected through questionnaires distributed to hybrid investors in Surakarta areas: Surakarta, Boyolali, Klaten, Sukoharjo, Wonogiri, Karanganyar, and Sragen. It involved 130 investors as research participants. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling to obtain a model that explains the relationship between the variables on Sharia stock options. This research revealed that the perception of risk has a negative and significant effect on the choice of Islamic stocks. Hybrid behavior has a positive and significant effect on the choice of Islamic stocks. Maqaá¹£id sharia moderates the effect of risk perception on sharia stock options and does not moderate the effect of hybrid behavior on the choice of sharia stocks.

Abstract

This research aimed to elaborate on the Indonesian Jewish community, represented by The United Indonesian Jewish Community led by Rabbi Benjamin Meijer Verbrugge and Sha'ar Hashamayim Synagogue under the spiritual guidance of Rabbi Yaakov Baruch. This research followed the theoretical framework of multiple religious belonging (MRB), pioneered by Catherine Cornille (1961–). This research combined primary data from in-depth interviews conducted offline and online with congregation members of both communities, as well as an extensive literature review. This research commenced its analysis by considering the conflicting religious identities of Indonesian Jews within their Indonesian identity card (Kartu Tanda Penduduk, abbreviated KTP in Bahasa Indonesia), which eventually investigated the identity of Indonesian Jews. This research concluded that MRB’s scientific schema, consisting of elements of Cultural Belonging, Family Belonging, Situational Belonging, Believing without Belonging, and Asymmetrical Belonging, may not fit entirely to the theological concern of Indonesian Jews, yet some of its elements may fit into a more secular, lower, context of ‘Civil’ Identity. The ambiguity of the existence of Indonesian Jews prevails because they are Jewish, practising Jewish rituals, and firmly committed to Jewish tradition, yet cannot conceal their Jewish identity fully in their KTP. Further investigation concerning their level of religiosity and how their Jewishness is practiced may invite further research.

Abstract

Integrating Catholicism and Kanjan Serayong culture within the Pesaguan Dayak community exemplifies the dynamic interplay between religious and cultural rituals, particularly in funeral ceremonies, fostering communal solidarity and cultural resilience through a seamless blend of traditional and Catholic practices. This research aims to elucidate how these cultural and religious elements coexist and reinforce each other within the community. Employing qualitative methods, the study includes interviews with three Pesaguan Dayak Indigenous Leaders and informants, participant observations, and literature analysis guided by Victor Turner's theory of ritual structure. The findings highlight that both Catholicism and Kanjan Serayong culture places a strong emphasis on rituals, particularly funeral ceremonies, which are central to honoring the deceased and fostering communal solidarity. The study reveals a profound respect for sacred traditions and cultural heritage, showing that rituals reflect a seamless blend of Catholic and indigenous practices, indicative of cultural adaptation and resilience. This research underscores the need for further studies on cultural inculturation within Indigenous communities, comparative analyses across different cultural contexts, and interdisciplinary collaborations to enhance the understanding of Indigenous spirituality and cultural heritage preservation. Additionally, this study recommends involving local communities in the research process to promote mutual learning and effective cultural preservation strategies.

Abstract

The collection of speeches (CoS) written by Sheikh Abdul Lathif Syakur (SALS), a scholar who experienced both the colonial and old-order eras, serves as a thematic compilation of hadith reflecting the mid-20th century Minangkabau writing tradition. Through this collection, SALS demonstrated his expertise as a hadith scholar by analyzing the context of his era and interpreting social realities based on hadiths pertinent to society. This article aims to delve into the socio-religious vision that SALS constructs through the themes articulated in his speeches. Using a descriptive-historical method and thematic analysis, this article reveals that SALS founded his socio-religious vision on four main pillars: renewal, community integrity, moderation, and the roles of women in public life. SALS's ability to adapt hadith to his time, combined with his inclusive and human-centered approach, portrays him as a progressive scholar, challenging the rigid stereotype of hadith scholars.

Abstract

This research aims to determine waqf literacy products in journals in Indonesia and Malaysia, especially cash waqf, which is expected to address the problem of low public understanding of cash waqf and may be due to not being supported by adequate literacy products. Research on waqf literacy products that focus on cash waqf is more due to the increasing trend of cash waqf, along with its great potential. The research method uses bibliometric mapping with metadata obtained from the Publish or Perish (PoP) application to access Google Scholar by filtering the titles Cash Waqf Indonesia and Malaysia and its publications in the form of journals. To visualize the bibliometric network, this study used the VOSViewer version 1.6.19. The accessed journals are limited to the last five years, 2018-2023. From the search results, Cash Waqf Indonesia had 106 journal articles, and Cash Waqf Malaysia had 40. Indonesian and Malaysian cash waqf literacy products published in journals are few. Likewise, cash waqf studies associated with productive waqf themes are still few in number, and the focus of productive waqf studies is still limited to sukuk and micro-enterprises. The low level of public understanding of cash waqfs in Indonesia and Malaysia may be partly due to the lack of literacy products.

Abstract

There are various prejudices in society regarding the Islamic concepts of faith. These prejudices are easily eliminated when faced with true knowledge and basic religious sources. Allegations often represent uninformed judgment. The main goal of this article is to clarify a frequently asked question about Islamic beliefs regarding the afterlife. According to some, this question has recently caused young people to break away from faith. To what extent can we embrace a religion that predicts eternal torment? In this article, we draw attention to these prejudices and encourage readers to investigate the intellectual depth of Islam based on knowledge. Humans have great potential. However, a person can achieve happiness in both the world and the hereafter by revealing the potential given to him from birth through his/her choices and behaviors. A person can reveal his existing talent in the best and most accurate way by reflecting on the meanings of the names of his Lord, who created him, in his life and living in accordance with them. Prejudices regarding Islamic religion’s understanding of the afterlife have come to the fore on social media and books. In this article, we discuss the claim about Islam that "it scares us with eternal torment.” Does Islam really scare people with punishments? Are people attached to Islam out of fear, as claimed? Does the Holy Quran suppress questioning? Or does this encourage it? It is possible to find many pros and consensuses in the history of commentary and theology regarding whether punishment is eternal. While evaluating these views, we must be responsible for ensuring and filtering whether they conform to the spirit and basic goals of the Holy Quran and Hadiths. The fact that the names of forgiving, merciful, and merciful are among the beautiful Names of Allah (Al-Asma Al-Husna), but the names of the one who punishes, the one who is angry, and the one who torments are excluded, should be accepted as evidence that the punishment will not be eternal. Mercy is an ancient attribute that cannot be separated from the essence of Allah.

Abstract

The diversity present in Nalen is a blessing, as it fosters cohesion in social, cultural, and religious ties, in contrast to the various conflicts that often arise from such differences. This cohesion resulted from the formation of a habitus of peace. This study aimed to answer the question of how the habitus of peace is cultivated in Nalen, a small village in Central Java. Data were systematically collected through in-depth interviews with prominent figures and community members in Nalen, complemented by observations. The subsequent analysis of the data employed Bourdieu’s theoretical framework, which delves into the intricacies of habitus development within the Nalen community. This analysis scrutinizes various forms of capital, with a particular emphasis on social and cultural capital, substantively contributing to the fortification of the habitus. This study finds that the habitus of interreligious harmony can manifest organically, devoid of external coercion, showcasing the community’s robust autonomy in the formative process. Additionally, the objective and subjective structures of society, alongside historical factors, emerge as foundational elements that influence the trajectory of habitus formation. Ultimately, habitus is cultivated within the collective consciousness of the community and is sustained by the diverse capital resources at their disposal.

Abstract

Until today, the existence of stray animals remains a source of contention between the public and the authorities. Public policy seems to be elusive in regulating this phenomenon, as it presents sociocultural conundrums. While there is a continued unclarity in the government regulations, cultures, and normative values; non-government organisations emerged with autonomous resources to take care of stray animals. The present study examines the efforts of several Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Brunei that are committed to the rescue and treatment of stray animals via the rising phenomenon of stray animals. Despite receiving no financial support from the Government, these stray animal care organisations consistently forge informal co-operative networks with members of the public and non-governmental organisations; in order to sustain their resources, maintain daily operations, and manage finances and other stray animal-related health issues.
