Abstract

This study examines the forms of restriction and development of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in Tulungagung during the New Order era (1966–1998). The New Order implemented various political policies that restricted the movement of Islamic organizations, including bureaucratic politicization, party mergers, surveillance by the security apparatus, and strict regulations in the social, religious, and educational fields. These policies had a direct impact on NU Tulungagung, which experienced administrative discrimination, restrictions on religious activities, pressure on its leaders, and obstacles to the management of educational institutions. The study's results show that, despite various structural and political restrictions, NU Tulungagung did not experience organizational decline. On the contrary, NU demonstrated institutional resilience through adaptation strategies, including shifting the movement's orientation from practical politics to strengthening socio-cultural and educational aspects, adjusting its institutional identity to comply with state regulations, and strengthening its religious base at the community level. These findings confirm that the New Order's repressive policies did not completely weaken Islamic organizations at the local level. The experience of NU Tulungagung shows that the ability to adapt, negotiate, and maintain pragmatic relations with the state was a key factor in keeping the organization's existence amid political pressure. This study is expected to enrich local historical studies and understanding of the relationship between the state and Islamic organizations in Indonesia during the New Order era.

Abstract

This study explores the rich yet often overlooked history of Bandar Senapelan, a former port and commercial center that served as the capital of the Siak Sri Indrapura Sultanate from 1761 to 1779. Once a vital hub for trade, cultural exchange, and the spread of Islam in the Riau region of Sumatra, its historical role remains insufficiently examined in scholarly discourse. Addressing this gap, the research analyzes the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of Bandar Senapelan to illuminate its contribution to the development of Islamic society and to situate it within the broader narrative of Islamization in Southeast Asia. Employing a historical–interpretative methodology, the study draws on primary sources such as archaeological artifacts, architectural remains, and historical accounts to reconstruct the relationship between material culture, belief, and governance. The findings reveal that Bandar Senapelan’s heritage directly reflects its role as a key center of Islamic history in the Malay world. The peaceful arrival of Islam through trade and its institutionalization under the Siak Sultanate fostered a dynamic synthesis between Islamic principles and indigenous Malay traditions, evident in the city’s architecture, law, and educational institutions. Ultimately, the case of Bandar Senapelan demonstrates how Islam in maritime Southeast Asia evolved through adaptation and negotiation rather than conquest. Its enduring cultural legacy underscores the inseparable link between faith, commerce, and identity, affirming the importance of heritage preservation for understanding the historical dynamics of Islamic civilization in the region.

Abstract

This study explores the transformation of Islamic astronomy (‘ilm al-falak) in late Ottoman Egypt, emphasizing its role in religious authority, state formation, and scientific modernization. The research is urgent due to the epistemic shifts occurring during imperial transition, especially in Cairo’s religious and scientific institutions. Using historical-textual methods, the study analyzes archival records, mosque timekeeping documents, Arabic press debates, and translated astronomical tables. Postcolonial theory and science and technology studies serve as analytical tools to examine knowledge adaptation. The findings show that European astronomical models, such as French planetary tables, were localized within Islamic frameworks. Mechanical clocks were introduced into mosques, supervised by scholars, leading to standardized prayer times and the institutionalization of crescent moon observations. Religious scholars actively engaged with technological changes, integrating them within ethical and jurisprudential contexts. Public discourse in the Arab press reflected ongoing negotiations between modern science and religious tradition. Late Ottoman Egypt witnessed the hybridization of astronomical knowledge, shaped by political, religious, and technological forces. This process redefined the role of scholars in scientific discourse and laid the foundation for contemporary Islamic astronomy in the Middle East. This research contributes to the history of Islamic science by filling a critical gap in how scholars mediated the translation and institutionalization of European time technologies within Islamic religious frameworks, thereby reshaping the epistemic foundations of modern Islamic astronomy.
