Abstract

This research is motivated by the reality of the decadence of religious life in this day and age. On the one being many people begin to lose awareness of the importance of religion in building human life. However, on the other side, religious people are increasingly showing a discrepancy between the essential purpose of religious existence and their social behavior. Based on this reality, this article aims to elaborate some philosophical reflections on religious life today based on the symbols in the wuwung mbaru gendang of the Manggarai people. As an important part of the traditional house of the Manggarai people, the wuwung mbaru gendang has a meaning that is relevant to the religious issues of today. Its meaning will be elaborated based on Paul Ricoeur's theory of Symbol Interpretation. The direction of this article is the discovery of meanings in the wuwung mbaru gendang to be used as introspective material for researchers in reading the religious context of their era. The method used is literature study and direct observation of the object studied. The findings are first, the three symbols on the wuwung mbaru gendang reveal human identity as a noble creature. That nobleness is what spurs humans to make the highest respect for humans regardless of their religious background. Secondly, the quality of one's relationship with others can always be attributed to how one builds his or her spiritual-religious aspect. Vertical relations with the Ultimate Reality always get their continuity in good horizontal relations with others.

Abstract

Indonesia has the advantage of being a peaceful and prosperous country with diverse religions and cultural traditions. This research aims to examine tolerance and harmony in the "Wungon" tradition by implementing the values of religious moderation based on the Koran. By using field research methods and a qualitative descriptive approach, this research shows that: 1) The Wungon tradition can strengthen the values of religious moderation in the younger generation as a form of tolerance and harmony between religious communities. 2) The Wungon tradition applies four main indicators of successful religious moderation compiled by the Ministry of Religion, Republic of Indonesia. First, the Wungon tradition plays a role in strengthening nationalism which is reflected through national songs with the theme of love for the homeland which residents sing as the implementation of QS Al-Qashash: 85. Second, tolerance in the Wungon tradition is seen through interactions between Muslims and non-Muslims in maintaining friendship and respecting each other's differences by exchanging food and giving to each other as an actualization of the QS. Al-Mumlahanah: 8. Third, the politeness and gentleness of the citizens are manifestations of anti-violence education as an implementation of QS. Ali-Imran: 159. Fourth, integration of QS. Al'A'raf: 199 represents the friendly attitude and acceptance of Pemalang residents towards the Wungon tradition which does not conflict with religious teachings. This research contributes to finding the concept of strengthening the values of religious moderation based on local wisdom. Apart from that, this research can also be used as a basis for integrating cultural practices as a home for religious moderation.

Abstract

Christians believe that Christmas is a season to glorify the birth of Jesus Christ. However, the Christmas celebration is an issue intertwined with business realities. Researchers argue that the influence of the Bible intersects with Christmas. Nevertheless, some people use Christmas as a field to implement businesses that seek huge profits for personal satisfaction, thus creating social problems on the other side. This research aimed to analyze the Bible’s influence at Christmas and its implications for business realities in Indonesia. This research used a qualitative research method based on a literature review from a sociology of religion perspective. Researchers used scientific articles, proceedings, and books related to the research variables. This research showed that the Bible does influence Christmas. However, the Christmas atmosphere has implications for business realities that give rise to the spirit of capitalism. In this case, the social problems that occur are pressure and suffering. In essence, Christians reconstruct and rethink the nature and meaning of Jesus Christ’s birth in the Bible. Researchers provide scientific solutions, namely the actualization of celebrating Christmas humanistically in Indonesia.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools are Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia that are unique among other educational institutions and have a strong religious habitus. This research aims to find out what the religious habitus of Islamic boarding schools looks like and what the construction process of religious habitus is in the Al-Islam Islamic boarding school in Ponorogo, East Java. Qualitative methods were used in this research, including observation, interview, and documentation techniques, as tools for collecting data. This research shows that the habitus characteristics of the Al-Islam Islamic boarding school include three aspects. Firstly, hysteresis lasts long and is not easily changed; it is difficult to change once formed. Secondly, transposability can be inherited and can be learned. Thirdly, it is a generator that encourages the growth of new social practices. The construction of the habitus of the Al-Islam Islamic boarding school at the beginning of its establishment went through a long dialectical process by the founders of the Islamic boarding school. Then, it was instilled in the students in various ways, including in the curriculum, role models from Kyai (the head of Islamic boarding schools), and instilling the Islamic boarding school’s philosophy of the five souls. The results of this research can contribute to strengthening religious habitus in Islamic boarding schools as religious education institutions regarding the importance of role models and a conducive environment in forming the religious habitus of students.

Abstract

Violations of freedom of religion or belief continue to pose significant challenges to interfaith cooperation. Adherents of indigenous beliefs frequently experience such violations despite the legal and formal guarantees of their religious rights. Believers, as a minority group, are often marginalized and subjected to restrictions, even though their identity is recognized by Constitutional Court Decision Number 97/PUU-XIV/2016. This article examines the hegemonic relationship between "official religion" and adherents of indigenous belief, as well as its impact on the freedom of belief in Sukoreno Village, Jember. The study looks into the practice of hegemony and its implications on the violations of freedom of belief experienced by Sapta Darma Believers. The originality of this research lies in its focus on hegemonic relations through socio-cultural mechanisms. A qualitative methodology is implemented to investigate the disparities in social relations from the standpoint of Sapta Darma believers. Data collection is conducted through semi-structured interviews, supplemented by direct observation to contextualize and comprehend the social practices of interfaith life. The exercise of hegemony include: 1) internalization of Islamic practices within the Sapta Darma community, 2) restriction on certain activities, as well as 3) oversight and regulation concerning permits for the believers. Findings indicate hegemony in the interactions between Muslims and Sapta Darma believers through socio-cultural mechanisms. Although social relations between Muslims and the adherents appear harmonious and peaceful, the potential for violations of religious freedom persists due to the dynamics of majority-minority relations. The believers are compelled to adhere to detrimental policies to sustain harmony and preserve the image of Sukoreno 'Pancasila' Village. The hegemony of the dominant official religion over Sapta Darma belivers engenders ambiguity concerning religious freedom.

Abstract

(Salafi) secst in several Indonesian cities reflect a fundamental tolerance problem that endangers harmony and social stability in Indonesia's multicultural society. This study aims to explore ways to bridge differing perspectives on religious tolerance, which can serve as a solid foundation for the development of a peaceful and respectful Indonesian society, as well as to be prepared to encounter future problems of religious tolerance crisis. This research uses a systematic literature review method. Data collection is conducted through the examination of various written sources such as books, scientific articles, research journals, and documents relevant to the research topic. Data analysis is carried out by reviewing, comparing, and integrating information from various bibliographic sources to understand the root of the problem and formulate a comprehensive solution. Findings indicate that Aswaja and Salafi are Indonesia's two primary sects of Islam, with distinct approaches and ideas. Aswaja is more moderate, valuing ijtihad and scientific heritage, whilst Salafi is more literate, condemning heresy and local traditions. Differences in beliefs and convictions, identity politics, extremism, hoaxes, and the lack of tolerance education are factors of conflict between these two streams. Reconciliation efforts can be carried out by integrating local wisdom into interfaith dialogue, involving local figures in education and outreach, fostering collaboration between community-based regions, applying moderation values in social and religious activities, and developing educational programs that are sensitive to local diversity, and involving both the community and the government. The moderation of religious thought is very important in the contemporary era to create harmony and unity, counter extremist ideologies, support interfaith dialogue and social development, maintain the relevance of religious teachings, and promote social integration and diversity.

Abstract

This research explores the maritime Hajj journeys of Sulu Muslims and their connection to the cultural and religious dynamics of the broader Malay world. The maritime pilgrimage, especially within the context of Sulu Muslims, remains largely underexplored in existing literature, highlighting a significant research gap in understanding Muslim-minority religious practices. This study aims to address this gap by examining how the maritime Hajj journey impacts Sulu Muslims, a minority in a Catholic-majority country, and their Malay counterparts. Using a qualitative approach, primary sources such as oral histories from pilgrims and archival records uncover the cultural, religious, and social dimensions of these journeys. The research highlights key themes such as the challenges of maritime travel, the role of religious networks, and cultural exchanges during the pilgrimage. The findings reveal that the Hajj not only fulfills a religious duty but also fosters cross-regional identity and solidarity among Muslims in the Sulu Archipelago and Southeast Asia. The study concludes that the Hajj serves as both a spiritual endeavor and a platform for cultural continuity and interregional unity, influencing societal transformation. By capturing these aspects, the research aims to enrich understanding of the Hajj as a multifaceted phenomenon, emphasizing the enduring significance of maritime routes in shaping Southeast Asia’s religious and cultural landscapes.

Abstract

The Rohingya conflict in Myanmar is one of the conflicts that has attracted global attention and triggered responses from various countries, including Indonesia. As a country with the largest Muslim population and a high commitment to humanitarian principles, Indonesia has a strategic position in responding to the Rohingya conflict in Myanmar. This study aims to analyze vernacular cosmopolitanism in understanding the reality of the conflict that occurred in Southeast Asia, especially in how Indonesia responded to the Rohingya ethnic conflict in Myanmar. This study uses qualitative methods with literature analysis and case studies to analyze how vernacular cosmopolitanism, which includes universal Islamic values, can be interpreted locally to ground peace, tolerance, and justice in resolving complex conflicts. This study uses the concept of vernacular cosmopolitanism from Pnina Werbner to analyze Indonesia's response to the Rohingya conflict in Myanmar. This study produces the fact that the concept of vernacular cosmopolitanism is practiced by Indonesia in responding to the Rohingya conflict in Myanmar. The values of openness, tolerance and responsibility towards fellow human beings are manifested in the provision of humanitarian assistance and acceptance of Rohingya refugees. In addition, Indonesia also acts as a mediator and facilitator in resolving conflicts using regional diplomacy based on consensus. Indonesia also uses religious diplomacy by facilitating interfaith dialogue to promote tolerance and peace. All that Indonesia does is solely out of concern for fellow human beings and to realize world peace.

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers’ synergy in religious research must be integrated with science, technology, and social sciences and involve collaboration with other subject teachers to produce higherquality research products. This study aims to reveal the role of Islamic Education teacher synergy through digital technology research in developing a culture of literacy and science integration in madrasah aliyah. Qualitative research with a post-positivistic approach was conducted in January 2023 at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) Insan Cendekia Pekalongan, Central Java. Primary data were obtained through indepth interviews with the deputy head of student affairs and IRE teachers as research program supervisors. In contrast, secondary data came from documentation of the research results of the Madrasah Young Research (MYRES) team that won a silver medal at the national competition. The results showed that the synergy of IRE teachers in guiding student research could strengthen the culture of religious literacy, such as the study of Surah Maryam verse 23 with the tahlili interpretation approach, semantics, and physiology, which became the basis for the research product “al-Istisyfa” as a relaxation tool for pregnant women. This product integrates religion, science, technology, and social sciences, thus demonstrating the successful integration of various fields of science in religion and technology-based research.
