Abstract

This study addresses how al-Azhar's Lajnat al-Fatwa is situated in the modern context, and to what extent the taxonomy of official/non-official, traditional/modern, reformists/conservative may not help us in understanding the nature of the Lajnah. I argue that this kind of categorization can obscure rather than explain the Lajnah position. On the one hand, its fatwas are recognized by state institutions and courts as official; it toes the line on government policies discouraging political questions or debate; and it is influenced by the rational approach of modernity with regard to questions on jinn and sorcery. On the other hand, it challenges the nation-state's public policies on issues like bank interests, female circumcision, and mortgages; it lacks systematization that characterizes the modern institutions; and at least some of its members refuse to issue fatwas contradicting the established opinions of the four madhhabs. Many of those fatwas stand at odds with the views of Dār al-Iftāʾ, ‘The’ official fatwa institution in Egypt, which is more inclined to serve the national interests and programs of the government. The findings of this study encourage us to rethink our dichotomous classification of ulama and to avoid simplistic assumptions about fatwa councils in modern times. It shows how reality is more complicated, nuanced, and entangled than our sharply-defined categories.

Abstract

Recent discussions of modern historiographies of tafsīr show that al-Dhahabī’s al-Tafsīr wa al-Mufassirūn used the radical hermeneutic of Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728/1328) as a philosophical underpinning, leading his book to present a somewhat salafī-history of the genre. This approach affirmed that the Qurʾān was repositioned squarely where the hermeneutical tools were unequivocally restricted to a hadith-inherited mode. A more holistic study on al-Dhahabī‘s scholarship, however, has yet to be undertaken. This article seeks to complete (and to some extent clarify) the image of al-Dhahabī's salafī leanings by situating his scholarship in the battlefield of ideas in Egypt from the 1940s to 1970s and undertaking a close reading of his other major books of tafsīr, including (1) al-Waḥy wa al-Qurʾān al-Karīm, (2) al-Isrāʾīlīyat fī al-Tafsīr wa al-Ḥadīth, (3) al-Ittijāhāt al-Munḥarifah fī al-Tafsīr, (4) al-Tafsīr wa al-Mufassirūn, and (5) Tafsīr Ibn ʿArabī. This article outlines Dhahabī’s systematic approach to the historiography of tafsīr. While his first three books provide theoretical considerations of what constitutes a good Qurʾānic commentary, the remaining two works are where he applies these theories into concrete judgements and classifications of tafsīr works. Besides the fact that Dhahabī has revitalized the problematic division of Tafsīr bi al-Maʾthūr and Bi al-Ra’y, several new key arguments highlighting his salafī outlook are identified throughout his books, namely his reinforcement of the value of the isnād system and his blatant attacks on commentaries that are not based on inherited interpretive materials. By shedding light on Dhahabī’s salafī orientation, this article argues for the need for alternative sources of the historiography of tafsīr to be studied in Indonesian Islamic Universities.

Abstract

Edited by. Muhammad Afzal Upal and Carole M. CusackBrill, 2021With more than 1,8 billion followers, Islam is the second largest religion in the world. As a faith, Islam is often referred to as al-deen, which is derived from the diversity of its thought. Islam will always face dynamic changes from within and at the same time will have to deal with various advances in civilization, such as modernization, states as well as social, cultural and political developments at different points in time. As a result, Islam and Islamic thought are differentiated from one another. Islam is a revelation from God and immutable, while Islamic thought is a subjective truth according to one's understanding of the objective of revelation. The spread of various sects and movements in Islam has shown that Islamic thought is in a constant state of development and does not remain static. Moreover, because Islam has spread throughout the world, it is embedded and developing in a variety of peoples and cultures, from Africa to Asia and beyond.

Abstract

In recent decades, there has been much discussion on 'Islamically-grounding' the social sciences, which some researchers have described as being traditionally 'Western' in nature. This debate among Muslims flourished in the early nineties, taking place in books, articles and doctoral theses. As a sociologist, I have no qualms about using the terms 'Islamic', 'Arab', or 'Lebanese' to describe some social sciences and for some of the concepts and theories of these sciences to be inspired by the Islamic heritage and these societies. However, through a content analysis of articles, books and masters and PHD theses that adopt this orientation, as well as through interviews with some of the proponents of the Islamization of Knowledge (IoK) or Islamic grounding (ta’sil) of knowledge, I show that adding a geographical or religious adjective to the social sciences creates real problems. This paper describes and presents a synthesis of this literature, analyzes some of its problems and ponders whether the project to 'Islamize' knowledge is truly necessary or instead serves as a sort of identity politics. Based on this analysis, this paper suggests a new approach that I call 'separation, connection and pluralistic praxis' as an alternative to IoK and similar projects.

Abstract

Edited by Leonard C. Sebastian, Syafiq Hasyim and Alexander R. ArifiantoIndonesia entered the new order Era in the mid-1998 or post-Suharto era, which served as a significant transitional period that gave rise to a range of ideas, identities, and interests to the surface (Hefner 2005; Hasan 2006, 13; Hilmy 2010). One of them is the emergence of Islamic conservatism movements (Hilmy 2010). Consequently, the new and various transnational Islamic movements that emerged in that era have colored the landscape of Indonesian Islam. The term conservative itself refers to currents that reject progressive interpretations of Islamic teachings (van Bruinessen 2013). The separation of modernist and conservative groups cannot be separated from the current political tendencies in Indonesia, particularly in the quest for power.  Political polarization using religion to mobilize the masses has been an inseparable thing in Indonesia (Warburton, n.d.). The post-Suharto era became one of the decisive elements since it did not accommodate the conservative spectrum of Islam (Mietzner and Muhtadi 2018).

Abstract

The rise of new Muslim organizations in Indonesia after the reform movement in 1998 has produced a new type of religious authority, particularly through the emergence of popular preachers. Television and social media platforms are among the key factors in helping these new sources of religious authority gain instant popularity in the Muslim community. Many of those fitting this new type of preacher are relatively junior, starting their career by delivering religious speeches to diverse Islamic study groups in urban areas before appearing on television and various social media platforms. Their popularity has influenced the way the Muslim communities in Indonesia view and respect the status and role of traditional Islamic authority (ulama). For a long time, the traditional type of ulama has functioned as the most authoritative source of religious knowledge and learning for the Muslim community. This paper describes the important role of the graduates of a tertiary Islamic education program for producing junior ulama, the Ma’had ‘Aly As‘adiyah, in the field of Islamic education and da‘wa (Islamic preaching) and how it has adapted its teaching methodology to suit current developments in those fields. This research finds that while maintaining traditional da‘wa methods for local communities, some Ma‘had Aly graduates have also taken advantage of various new digital media platforms to reach more diverse and wider audiences. This research argues that Ma’had ‘Aly As‘adiyah has consistently trained and produced new ulama with high competence in various disciplines of Islamic knowledge and an ability to respond and adapt to contemporary socio-religious changes partly generated by the disruptive development of new media.
Islam Beyond Orientalism: To what extent does the category 'religion' describe what Islam is? Allam, Hossam Ed-Deen

Abstract

In recent decades, the validity and the sufficiency of the term ‘religion' as an analytical category have been examined by many religious studies scholars. This essay urges Muslim scholars, sociologists, and scholars of religion to be cautious and to direct critical attention to the practice of categorizing the term ‘religion' in their scholarly discourse and in society at large. Such critical deliberations on the use of ‘religion' as an analytical category must occupy a focal position within any meaningful academic discourse pertaining to religious phenomenon in general and Islam in particular. To be more specific, the critical analysis of the term ‘religion,' and of its delineations with seemingly secular categories, must be further constructively incorporated into any academic discourse on religious phenomena or Islamic tradition. Each distinct conception of the term ‘religion,’ as well as its differentiation from other analytical categories, are outcomes of a particular historical occurrence, within the bounds of specific social institutions and interactions, framed by particular traditions and norms. This essay's critical analysis encompasses not only the category of ‘religion' in various geographical and historical settings, but also the conception of ‘religion' in anthropological and sociological literature.
