Abstract

The event of Isra’ and Mi'raj is one of the most significant events in Islam. This event holds deep meaning, especially for the Muslim community. Manuscripts have been used as a medium to share the story of Isra’ and Mi'raj. One of the most influential manuscripts in the Nusantara region about Isra’ and Mi'raj is Kifayah al-Muhtaj fi al-Isra wa al-Miʻraj, written by Sheikh Daud al-Fatani, a scholar from Patani and now preserved in the Balai Khazanah Islam Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah. This research uses a philological study. The research results show that Balai Khazanah Islam Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah houses several important Islamic manuscripts, one of which is the Kifayah al-Muhtaj fi al-Isra wa al-Miʻraj manuscript by Syekh Daud al-Fatani. The existence of this manuscript affirms the intellectual development of Islam in the Nusantara region, marked by the production and reproduction of Islamic texts. It also emphasizes that Jawi script, the Arabic letters used in Malay phonology, became one of the distinctive features of Islamic manuscripts produced in the Nusantara region.

Abstract

Islamic law and customary law in the Bima Sultanate are two pillars that coexist and complement each other in creating a just and socially acceptable legal system. This study aims to examine the relationship between Islamic and customary law in the history of the Bima Sultanate government, focusing on integrating the two legal systems in the socio-political life of the Bima community. This study uses a historical approach and qualitative methods with a literature review, this study examines various sources of literature that can be accounted for their validity, such as the Bo' Sangaji Kai Chronicle, Abdul Gani Abdullah's work on religious slavery, and books by Henri Chambert Loir, Alan Malingi, and Muhammad Mutawali. This study leads to the critical role of the Syara' Assembly as an institution that integrates Islamic law into the structure of government, as well as the position of the Mufti/Qadhi, which is parallel to the Ruma Bicara, as a form of strengthening collaboration between religious law and customary law in government. Through harmonizing Islamic values and local wisdom, the Bima Sultanate created an inclusive and just legal system, which could answer the social and cultural challenges of the Bima community.

Abstract

Sekarmadji Maridjan Kartosuwiryo, familiarly called Kartosuwiryo, was the proclamator of the Islamic State of Indonesia. Kartosuwiryo believed Islam had a significant influence on every aspect of human life. The idea he wanted to realize was establishing the Islamic State of Indonesia, and hijrah politics was one of Kartosuwiryo's efforts toward the Islamic State of Indonesia. This article will analyze the basic concept of the hijrah political thought of Sekarmadji Maridjan Kartosuwiryo in establishing the Islamic State of Indonesia. The method used is qualitative, with literature studies such as books, journals, articles, and others. In addition, the author uses a historical approach and the construction of a day approach to explore information about Kartosuwiryo's hijrah politics. The results showed that Kartosuwiryo's hijrah politics was an Islamic-based struggle to build a state with laws and order based on the Qur'an. This concept remains relevant to address modern global challenges, such as migration, religious identity, and cross-cultural solidarity. In addition, this article also shows that the politics of hijrah is not only a strategy of resistance against colonialism but also has relevance in the modern era. Hijrah can be translated as an effort to create social transformation, such as community empowerment, cross-cultural solidarity, and humane management of global migration. By adapting to digital technology, the concept of hijrah can also encourage interfaith dialogue and spread social justice values in an increasingly connected world.

Abstract

This study examines the decolonization in the prophetic period of Muhammad SAW. Different analyses occur among historians, with some viewing Islam as supportive of colonialism and others as anti-colonialism. This study aims to answer how decolonization was practiced in the prophetic period. The study’s objective is to demonstrate that Prophet Muhammad SAW laid out the foundations of thoughts and actions of decolonization. The colonial enterprises undertaken during the subsequent caliphates, which some historians such as Philip K. Hitt assumed, differ fundamentally from the principles of governance in the prophetic era. This study employs a qualitative historical approach, utilizing the discourse analysis method to prove that the wars against the Eastern Romans waged by the Prophet Muhammad were for decolonization. The existing historical sources are collected from literary studies and then subjected to Michael Onyebuchi Eze’s theory, which asserts decolonization as an idea and practice transcending history. The study’s findings are as follows: (1) Roman colonialism in the Arabian Peninsula led to protracted conflicts between Arab tribes and transformed it into a theatre of proxy warfare against the Persian empire; (2) Prophet Muhammad SAW was a pivotal figure in decolonizing Roman influences on Arab(s). Prophet paved two primary steps, which were to unify the Arabs and to wrest control of the Arabian peninsula from Eastern Rome; and (3) the military campaigns led either directly or indirectly by Muhammad SAW were indisputable evidence of the prophetic practice and thought of decolonization.

Abstract

Scholars consider Peyek, a typical Javanese light meal, to have deep cultural and religious significance. People believe Peyek represents thankfulness, prosperity, and past benefits, connecting it to Wali Songo’s efforts to spread Islam across Java. This research study investigates the role of peyek in cultural immersion and Islamic da'wah in Yogyakarta. Qualitative research approaches were used to learn about the cultural relevance and Islamic symbolism linked to peyek in Yogyakarta. The Mataram Sultanate region, encompassing the districts of Kota Gede, Tugu Yogyakarta, Malioboro, Kraton Yogyakarta, and Krapyak Stage, was the major focus of the study, which was supplemented with insights from notable peyek markets such as Gamping, Ngasem, and Kranggan. The major research technique used was direct observation, and the study found that peyek is important in solidifying both the cultural heritage and religious beliefs in Yogyakarta. It appears to serve as a conduit for the development of belief and the promotion of local cultural identity through Islamic da'wah efforts, including local cultural components with Islamic preaching to strengthen Yogyakarta's cultural identity and promote religious harmony.

Abstract

This study explores the modernization of women's education in the Siak Sultanate during the early 20th century, focusing on the Sultanah Latifah School and Madrasatun Nisa’. The research addresses how women's education became a medium for social transformation within traditional Malay society amid colonial influence, Islamic reform, and local educational awareness. It investigates the social context and development of women's education in Siak Sri Indrapura, employing a qualitative historical method. Data were collected through archival research, oral history, and field observations. Sultanah Latifah School, initiated by Sultan Syarif Kasim II, adopted a Western-oriented curriculum including reading, writing, arithmetic, Dutch, etiquette, and Islamic studies. In contrast, Madrasatun Nisa’ emphasized Islamic modernist teachings, such as Arabic, women’s jurisprudence (fiqh), ethics, and reformist thought. These institutions represented a significant shift in traditional female roles, fostering public engagement and intellectual development. The findings highlight that both schools blended local customs, Islamic values, and modern pedagogy, marking a pioneering effort in localized women's educational reform. This modernization promoted not only religious and cultural continuity but also opened avenues for broader societal participation by women. The study concludes that the Siak Sultanate played a key role in advancing women's education within a framework respectful of tradition yet oriented toward progress. It emphasizes the need to preserve such historical educational models and to further explore the legacy of female graduates in shaping modern society. The integration of regional history into educational curricula is also recommended to enrich contemporary understanding

Abstract

This study examines the contributions of Oman Fathurrahman in revitalizing the study of Nusantara manuscripts through the Ngariksa Program (Ngaji Manuskrip Kuno Nusantara), which integrates traditional philological approaches with modern digital technology. As a professor of philology at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, Oman Fathurrahman has played a pivotal role in the digital transformation of Nusantara manuscripts by developing and leading the Ngariksa Program since 2019. This program is broadcast live on social media and has garnered significant attention from academics and younger generations. It successfully encourages the preservation and study of ancient manuscripts as a valuable cultural memory of the nation. Additionally, Oman actively participates in digitization and cataloging initiatives such as DREAMSEA and the Endangered Archives Programme, expanding global access and utilization of Nusantara manuscripts. This study highlights Oman's strategy of strengthening research infrastructure, digital manuscript utilization, and big data management to advance digital philology as an intellectual heritage of the nation while safeguarding the preservation of manuscripts against modern threats. The findings illustrate that revitalizing Nusantara manuscript studies is not merely an academic endeavor but a vibrant cultural movement involving cross-generational collaboration and digital technology

Abstract

Saifuddin Zuhri was a prominent Indonesian independence activist, Muslim intellectual, and Minister of Religious Affairs whose work significantly shaped discourses on nationalism and Islamic moderation in postcolonial Indonesia. This study reassesses his intellectual legacy by examining his writings, speeches, policies, and organizational activities to understand better his role in fostering the integration of national identity and moderate Islamic values. This research employs a qualitative-historical approach with discourse analysis. Primary sources include Zuhri's publications, speeches, Ministry of Religious Affairs archives, and organizational records from 1920 to 1986. Secondary sources consist of biographies, historical articles, and relevant academic studies. The data were thematically coded to trace narratives on nationalism, tolerance, religious education, and moderation policies. Triangulation of sources and chronological mapping were used to ensure the reliability and validity of interpretations. Findings indicate that Zuhri pursued a dual strategy: (1) reinforcing national identity through inclusive rhetoric positioning Islam as a constructive element of the nation; and (2) promoting moderation via religious education reform, inter-sectarian dialogue, and policies emphasizing social accommodation. The analysis reveals tensions between his reformist ideals and institutional political constraints, yet his influence is evident in Ministry policies and more tolerant community religious practices. This study confirms Zuhri's legacy as relevant to contemporary discourses on moderate Islam in Indonesia and offers a historical model for integrating religion and nationalism.

Abstract

Allama Inayatullah Khan Mashriqi founded the Khaksar Movement in 1931 as a social reform initiative rooted in ideals of equality and community service. Over time, however, the movement evolved into a paramilitary force, establishing a complex relationship marked by both cooperation and confrontation with the All-India Muslim League (AIML), led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Although both movements aimed to advance Muslim political interests in British India, their methods and ideological foundations differed substantially. Allama Inayatullah Khan Mashriqi envisioned a pan-Islamic Greater Pakistan grounded in religious supremacy and militarization. In contrast, the Muslim League sought to achieve a separate Muslim homeland through constitutional and political means. This division prevented lasting collaboration. Events such as the 1940 Lahore Khaksar massacre, the 1943 attack on Jinnah, and the 1945–46 elections deepened the rift, ensuring the Muslim League’s dominance while leaving Mashriqi’s radical vision unfulfilled. This qualitative study, based on archival sources, examines the nature of cooperation and confrontation between the two movements. It contributes to a deeper understanding of Muslim political mobilization in pre-partition India. It highlights the critical role of ideological coherence and strategic direction in shaping the course and character of political movements.
Local Islam and the Pegon Literacy Tradition: An Examination of al-Iṭmi’nan as a Vernacular Representation of Qami’ al-Tughyan by K.H. Zaenal Arifin of Tegal (1935-1991) Akhmad Yunizar; Jamaluddin, Jamaluddin

Abstract

This study explores the life and theological contributions of K.H. Zaenal Arifin (1935–1991), an Islamic scholar from Demangharjo, Tegal. He is known for authoring Al-Itmi’nan, a Javanese Pegon-script translation of Qami‘ al-Tughyan ‘ala Manzumati Shu‘ab al-Iman, which covers 77 branches of faith. The research employs historical methods, including data collection, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, drawing on both literature and interviews. It employs biographical theory to trace Arifin’s life and vernacularization theory to analyze his use of the Pegon script. Born in Suradadi in 1935, Arifin studied at several pesantren, including Tebuireng and Krapyak, and completed his formal education at Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University in Yogyakarta. Influenced by K.H. Bisri Mustofa, he wrote Al-Itmi’nan, later published by Menara Kudus. The book is rich in textual references and includes a poetic version of Asma al-Husna by K.H. Ali Maksum. Its creation was driven by Arifin’s devotion to God, filial duty, and the community’s requests. Ultimately, Al-Itmi’nan embodies both Arifin’s intellectual heritage and his contribution to the vernacularization of Islamic knowledge through the medium of Pegon literacy, particularly in the field of theology (tawhid), which constitutes the foundational core of Islamic teachings
