Abstract

The Islamic political thought of M. Quraish Shihab in Indonesia has become an interesting subject of analysis in contemporary political studies. In the pluralistic context of Indonesia, Islamic political thought is important as it involves the dynamics of a heterogeneous society. In this research, a thorough analysis of the Islamic political thought of M. Quraish Shihab is conducted. Through a qualitative approach, data is obtained from interviews, literature, and related documents. The analysis results indicate that Shihab emphasizes the importance of understanding and applying Islamic values wisely in political life, in line with the spirit of tolerance and pluralism that are characteristic of the Indonesian nation. Shihab also highlights the rejection of radicalism and extremism, as well as the importance of maintaining a balance between religion and state in Islamic politics in Indonesia. Shihab's Islamic political thought offers a balanced and progressive view, emphasizing harmony between religion, politics, and national life. This study makes an important contribution to understanding the dynamics of Indonesian politics and society, as well as the role of Islamic politics in a pluralistic context.

Abstract

This research examines the social and cultural transformation that occurred in North Sumatra through the process of Islamization. The process of Islamization in this region has been underway since the 13th century, starting with the arrival of traders and scholars from the Middle East and Southeast Asia. This study uses a historical and sociological approach to analyze changes in the social structure, cultural practices, and value systems of North Sumatra society due to the acceptance and spread of Islam. The research results show that Islamization not only changes the religious aspects of society, but also influences patterns of social interaction, government systems, education, and local arts and culture. Significant changes include the establishment of Islamic educational institutions, the application of sharia law in several aspects of life, and the alignment of local traditions with Islamic teachings. This study also highlights the role of religious figures and Islamic institutions in directing this transformation. Thus, the process of Islamization in North Sumatra can be understood as a multifaceted phenomenon involving dynamic interactions between local traditions and Islamic values, resulting in a unique and diverse social and cultural identity. This research provides an important contribution to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of social and cultural change in the context of Islamization in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article reviews the development of Islamic kingdoms in Sumatera and the North Coast of Java from the pre-colonial to early colonial period. In Sumatera, kingdoms such as Samudera Pasai, Aceh Darussalam, and Palembang Darussalam played an important role in the spread of Islam through trade, education, and diplomacy. Samudera Pasai became the first center of trade and the spread of Islam in Indonesia, while Aceh Darussalam reached its peak of glory in the 16th and 17th centuries with its military strength and influence in Southeast Asia. Palembang Darussalam became an important trade center in southern Sumatera. On the North Coast of Java, kingdoms such as Demak, Cirebon, and Banten played a significant role in the spread of Islam. Demak, founded by Raden Patah, is known as the first Islamic kingdom in Java and played a role in overthrowing Majapahit. Cirebon developed as a religious and cultural center under Sunan Gunung Jati, while Banten became the dominant maritime and trade power in the Sunda Strait. This study uses a historical approach by analyzing chronicles, hikayat, and travel notes. The results show that the development of these Islamic kingdoms was influenced by political, economic, social, and cultural factors, including the influence of ulama, international trade, and interactions with foreign powers such as the Portuguese and the Dutch. In conclusion, the Islamic kingdoms in Sumatera and the North Coast of Java played a key role in the spread of Islam in the archipelago and in the political, economic, and cultural development of the region, providing a significant historical legacy for the development of Islam in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of the arrival of Islam on the culture in Tanah Karo, which was previously dominated by animism and dynamism beliefs. Through the literature review method, this research analyzes changes in the belief system, customs, marriage patterns, education, and social dynamics after Islam was introduced in the region. The findings show that interactions between Islamic traders and scholars with the indigenous Karo community triggered a slow but significant process of acculturation. Traditional Karo culture underwent a transformation, adopting Islamic values in various aspects of life, including religious celebrations like Eid al-Fitr, as well as in arts, architecture, and language. Despite challenges in the acculturation process, the Karo people managed to maintain a balance between local traditions and Islamic values, creating a pluralistic and dynamic cultural identity. This study is important for understanding cultural and religious dynamics in a diverse society and provides insights into the cultural evolution in Tanah Karo.

Abstract

For the first time “action” was raised by Maurice Blondel, a contemporary French philosopher, as a philosophical problem. With actions carried out with “knowing” and “wanting” (actus humanus), so desired actions, the human will can move from limited reality to the Divine as unlimited reality. For Blondel, two types of will are used, volonte voulante (the willing will) and volonte voulue (the willed will). Volonte voulue is a type of human action whose object is empirical goods, because it is always possible to achieve them. Meanwhile volonte volulante is a type of action whose object concerns metaempirical reality and is therefore difficult and even impossible to achieve by the effort of the human will. This object can only be achieved by humans thanks to the actions of the Divine Himself, namely through God's own Revelation which comes to humans. Blondel's contribution to contemporary religious philosophy lies here, namely that he can rationally account for the faith of religious people that believers are made possible by the natural capacity in humans, namely the dynamism of the will to lead him to the possibility of supernatural revelation. However, philosophy here only provides a “possibility” not “certainty”. Meanwhile, “certainty” regarding the existence of special revelation (divine revelation based on the Holy Scriptures) remains a matter of theology as a matter of certainty of faith.
