Abstract

The Aboge Islamic community in Onje Purbalingga has been one of the most prominent Aboge communities in Central Java. Every year, this community is the subject of media attention due to its different method for determining the beginning of the months of Ramadan and Shawwal. In Onje, the Aboge used to be the majority. Everyone in the village started their fasting for Ramadan and celebrated their Eid based on the Islamic Aboge calendar. The Aboge imam previously had significant influence on religious and socio-cultural life in the community. However, this influence is waning. The Aboge are no longer the majority in the village. This paper provides an analysis on why Aboge Imams started to lose their religious authority in the community. Why did some members of the community adhere to Aboge Islamic traditions while others did not? Using an ethnographic method, this paper argues that the decline of Aboge leaders' influence is shaped not only by the challenges of modernity, but also a process of bureaucratizing sharī‘ah as well as the weak institution of the local Aboge community.

Abstract

Unlike most works which study and focus on discussing fatwa (religious edicts) produced by the Indonesian Council of Ulama (Majelis Ulama Indonesia, MUI) at the central level, I focus on one of the fatwas produced by MUI at the regional level. In this article, I examine a fatwa on debus (a traditional martial arts performance that is imbued with supernatural powers) issued by the provincial MUI branch in Banten during a regional meeting involving all MUI branches from Java and Lampung, held in August 2009 in Serang City, Banten. Based on the data collected from key informants and internet research, including contemporary analysis, I argue that although fatwas are non-binding, a fatwa can also be negotiated based on the political, social, and cultural circumstances of a region. In other words, the power and influence of religious authority can be mitigated when it collides with the interests of a powerful group in a society. I also argue that MUI branches at the regional level are closely linked to the national MUI office’s policies and interests in upholding Islamic conservatism in Indonesia. This article provides further analysis dealing with religious authority in the Indonesian context, highlighting once again that this authority is never monolithic or absolute.

Abstract

Studying the Qur’an in the Muslim Academy | Majid Daneshgar | UK: Oxford University Press, 2020. There is a fundamental problem in studying the Qur’ān in universities and colleges in Muslim-majority countries, which revolves around the significant difficulties in presenting ideas from western intellectuals, or conflicting sects (p. xix). There is a clear trend of negative labelling to describe foreignness, such as orientalism or unreliability of foreign works. This could result in Qur’ānic studies being dragged towards objectivity, orthodoxy, and apologism. This is especially the case if a western contribution to Qur’ānic studies is introduced into the discourse. If the academy is a place where diversity of thought and arguments develops, why does such labelling take place (p. xxii)? This issue serves as a key inspiration for Daneshgar's critical work on the Qur’ān as an academic subject in non-religious institutions.

Abstract

The Idea of The Muslim World, A Global Intellectual History | Cemil Aydin | London: Harvard University Press, 2017. The notion of "The Muslim World" as a binary point of opposition to "The West" has become a global narrative, accepted by many Muslims and non-Muslims alike. In fact, Muslims reside in different parts of the world, speak different languages, live in different traditions and cultures, and have different nationalities and political interests. Besides, the those who believe in notions of the Muslim world have rarely discussed or imagined the Christian world, the Buddhist world, and so on in similar terms. Thus, how did this narrative about the 'Muslim World' come into being and become a mainstream belief in the modern world? This issue constitutes the main point of discussion in Cemil Aydin's book, as the title suggests, "The Idea of The Muslim World." Questions such as who, when, how, and why this notion arose and persists in the modern era are discussed.
In Search of Autoethnography of Female Ulama: An Alternative Approach to the Study of Islamic Family Law Wardatun, Atun; Abdul Wahid

Abstract

Autoethnography is a method of qualitative inquiry that reveals the personal experiences of an individual in relation to social phenomena as a source of knowledge. Despite criticism of its subjectivities, many disciplines have widely used this approach but it is still rarely employed in Islamic Family Law (IFL). As a guide that regulates the relations of family members in the most important social institution, family law is very close to the lives of both sexes, male and female. Unfortunately, IFL is seen as suffering from gender inequality due to imbalanced gender authorities or male-centered characteristics. This article explores the works of three Indonesian female ulama – Musdah Mulia, Badriyah Fayumi, and Nina Nurmila – which are relevant to issues surrounding IFL to provide answers to the following questions: How are IFL issues – particularly in public and private spheres, ideal husband-wife relations, and women’s domestication – represented in female ulama’s works? Why should the autoethnography approach be incorporated into their works? After reviewing the female ulama's publications, this article maps different approaches and methods they have used in discussing the above IFL issues. It argues that an autoethnographic approach must still be present or visible from their extensive works. This approach allows for a better understanding of the deeper aspects of family life, which is private and intimate. This article, therefore, proposes that autoethnography should be a significant part of female ulama’s future works and that utilizing this approach to reformulate IFL based on the ulama’s personal, reflexive, and analytical accounts of family issues will contribute to more transformative and emancipatory Islamic Family Laws.
Against the ‘Control Argument’: Assessing the State’s Authority in the State-Commissioned Qur’ān Translation Lukman, Fadhli

Abstract

Indonesia is one of a few countries that has an official Qur’ān translation, namely Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahnya (QT). As a country that has always been preoccupied with issues of religious regulation, there is a general consensus among the current scholarship on QT, namely that QT is the state's instrument for creating a standardized Islamic discourse in Indonesia. My paper questions this argument through an analysis of three interpretive cases in QT: the creation verse (Q 4:1), akābīra mujrimīhā in Q 6:123, and awliyāʾ in Q 5:51, focusing on the extent to which the interpretive outcome of QT is closely controlled by the state. In contrast to the 'control argument,' this study demonstrates that the renderings of QT in these three cases reflect the state's lack of involvement in the actual translation process. Despite the fact that QT is a state-commissioned and authorized Qur’ān translation, the ulama continue to be the masters of QT interpretive authority. While the entire process of producing QT may imply the obvious presence of the state, when we consider the genealogical nature of tafsīr, the religious authority of QT returns to the ulama rather than the state.
Deradicalizing Salafism in Amanah: A Story of a Traditionalist Muslim Leader in Poso Mappiasse, Sulaiman

Abstract

Deradicalization is often the story of the state’s success or the story of an influential national figure. Our story concerns a local leader and two decades of deradicalization work. Aftermath the outbreak of communal conflict, many Poso local Muslims had been radicalized and viewed jihad against the Christians as part of their holy religious duties. When vigorous law enforcement was undertaken in 2007, controversy over the government’s calling to the mujahidin groups in Tanah Runtuh to disengage from violent acts happened. Some refused the demand and left Tanah Runtuh to declare the Mujahidin Indonesia Timur, a new terrorist group, active until 2021 in the region. Many others stayed. Those who stayed have been gradually deradicalized and successfully integrated into society. Without denying the impact of the state security measure and its multiple agent deradicalization programs in Poso, I argue that the deradicalization of this group had not have been possible without the compassionate leadership of Haji Adnan Arsal. This article examines how he mobilized various factions of jihadists during the conflict and gradually contained radicalism within the Amanah after communal violence ceased.
