Abstract

This research discusses about one of the customs or social traditions practiced by Muslim community in South Sulawesi. This tradition is called “Makkatte”. It is said that this tradition stems from the teachings of Islam, which includes a ceremony of female circumcision. It is well known that female circumcision has become subject for public debate and discussion in our present era, after the classical Muslim jurists agreed on its legitimacy, despite of their differences in its ruling, whether such a practice is considered a religious obligation or Sunnah. This research aims to define the Makkatte tradition and its status in the South Sulawesi community, in addition to its rule in the Islamic jurisprudence. This research adopts the descriptive and analytical method that allows researcher to obtain information, documents and folk narratives. This research also used field work method by making interviews with relevant sources and distributing questionnaires in 16 regions in South Sulawesi. One of the most important findings from this research is that Makkatte is a ceremony that includes ablution, pronouncement of shahada, reciting some verses of the Qur’an, and female circumcision. In its ritual process, Makkatte is most often performed by a person known as Sanro, which means midwife according to the Bugis language in Sulawesi. The majority of the Muslim community in South Sulawesi agreed that the tradition of Makkatte is an obligation on every female, as it includes shahada and circumcision. This study also affirms that the additional customary ceremonies to Makkatte does not affect the fact that it is in compliance with God Almighty's command to circumcise females.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the cosmic redemption concepts in the mythology of the pante tradition in Manggarai community. Pante tradition was an attempt to promote an attitude of respect for non-human creations so that nature would return to its harmonious state. The data was obtained through interviews with several key informants who were very close to these myths, including some palm tappers from several villages in Manggarai. From interviews and collected documents, several myths were found in the pante tradition. In Manggarai mythology, it is believed that there is inseparable relationship between humans, non-human creations, and the Supreme Being. Each creation has a contribution to the survival of the others and has eschatological future. The Manggarai people also believe that there is a place for the eternal life called pa'ang be le. This finding contributes to the development of ecological theology in the Indonesian Catholic Church and the universal Church. In addition, the awareness of the ultimate future for all creation strengthens the commitment of the Christians to preserve the environment.

Abstract

Trisakti was one of Sukarno's ideas for realizing nationalism at the policy level, although during his reign this idea was not fully realized. Sukarno revealed his Trisakti concept when he addressed the Fourth General Session of the MPRS on June 22, 1966. Trisakti contains three political ideals to uphold nationalism in Indonesia, namely: sovereignty and freedom in politics, personality in culture, and independence in the economy. This concept began to be carried forward in the era of Jokowi's leadership as the 7th President. To reexamine this idea, the author tries to elaborate on it one by one in the view of the Qur'an, using a thematic method by taking sources from the interpretations of Javanese mufassir. This is because their interpretation of the Quran is closer to Sukarno's culture whose background is the same as Javanese. The conclusion of this discussion is that the Javanese mufassir agreed with Sukarno's ideas because none of the Trisakti concepts violated religious rules. This can be revealed from the source of Qur'anic verses related to the concept of Trisakti, both explicitly and implicitly, as implied in the story of Prophet Sulayman about political sovereignty and the story of Prophet Yusuf about economic independence.

Abstract

This article aims to explore the concept of cultural adaptation and the identity of Chinese Muslims in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi. Through a life story approach, this study employed observation on the daily life of key participants, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of the study showed that Chinese Muslims in Bulukumba experienced culture-sensitive adaptation process where their individual backgrounds and life experiences interacted with Islamic teachings and Bugis-Makassar-Konjo culture through assimilation. The cultural adaptation was visible in various aspects of life, such as religious practices, traditions, language, food, and social behaviour. In addition, the Chinese Muslim identity in Bulukumba resulted from a fusion of Chinese cultures and non-Chinese Muslims. This identity was reflected in language, appearance, and religious practices. Through life story studies, this research provided a comprehensive picture of how individuals experienced cultural adaptation and developed identity as Chinese Muslims in Bulukumba, known as Mapau na maloppo batu, as a manifestation of honesty and sincerity to be kind to fellow human beings.

Abstract

Padangabulia Traditional Village is the only village in Bali that maintains the manak salah tradition. Even though the Provincial Government of Bali officially abolished this tradition in 1951 because it was considered to violate religious, Hindu, legal, and health teachings. It is interesting to study this phenomenon through field research using a qualitative approach to find reasons why they still maintain the tradition of manak salah and the rituals that accompany it. Interviews with traditional and religious leaders in Padangbulia village complimented the main data. The results of the study indicated that the maintenance of the tradition of manak salah in this village was legitimized by Lontar Tutur Brahma Sapa and Lontar Dewa Tatwa. These two lontars are sacred texts that are believed to be true. Lontar Tutur Brahma Sapa emphasized thatkembar buncing, male and female twins are wrong because Lord Brahma cursed it. The binarism between humans versus animals reinforces this. Married couples with more than one male and female child were identical to animals. This condition causes contamination of purity or leteh in humans. The Tri Hita Karana ideology outlines that humans are united with fellow human beings and the natural environment and God/gods who reside in temples. This idea causesleteh in humans and spreads to the natural environment and temples. Lontar Dewa Tatwa explains that impurities must be cleaned through a purification ritual, includingmelastito the sea. Whenever there is a case of manak salah, they will implementmelasti at the Buleleng Harbor beach. This creates a unique tradition: this traditional village does not perform melasti at every Nyepi Day celebration but only when there is a manak salah. This ritual not only has a religious-magical function but also has a social function. These functions strengthen Lontar Tutur Brahma Sapa'sposition in maintaining the manak salah tradition.

Abstract

In the process of Islamization of Nusantara, there was an interaction between Islam and local civilizations in various regions of Nusantara, which then became attractive objects for tourist gaze, including in Bali. Some areas such as Denpasar, Badung and Bangli were not much known as the entrance points of Islam in Bali. Tourist gaze has been concentrated on pleasure and leisure with a focus on popular tourist attractions and hotelaccommodations, as well as cultural authenticities. This article aims to explore the potential of tourism industry by promoting the aspect of interreligiosity (such as between Balinese Hindu and Islam) to reconstruct the religious-friendly tourism of Bali. The study employed principles of netnography and literature study. The data was obtained from the internet, books, and journals, as well as a systematic literature review through Publish or Perish (PoP). The data is presented in narrative analysis and interpretations. The results of the study suggest that inter-religiosity could be integrated into the tourism industry. Some religious-friendly tourist destinations can be reconstructed through representations of inter-religious relationships in Denpasar, Badung, and Bangli. As such, religious-friendly tourism could support the development of harmonious life for a sustainable civilization. For further research, it is suggested to conduct research on other tourist gaze areas that are limited by this work.

Abstract

This research is based on the current situation after many Aluk Todolo believers were integrated with Hinduism. Over time, this integration experienced many obstacles and challenges. The new name resulting from integration, namely Hindu Alukta, does not eliminate the stigma and stereotypes associated with local religion and adherents of animism. To examine the future challenges that they face after integrating with Hinduism, this research uses qualitative methods with an in-depth interview technique with key informants, direct observation at the location, and the study of documents from various existing sources. Employing the Practice Theory framework from Bourdieu, this study found that the challenge that Hindu Alukta adherents faced is largely capital (which sourced from structural supports). This is because structurally, the government, in this case the Ministry of Religious Affairs, especially the Directorate General of Hindu Community Guidance, has not been able to serve and guide them optimally. The Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Province of South Sulawesi, especially the Hindu Community Advisors are not capable enough to provide post-integration services and guidance. Culturally, those are rooted from the local belief of Aluk Todolo, experienced struggles as adherents of the official religion (Hinduism).

Abstract

A fatwa is a matter of great significance in Islam. The issuer of a fatwa represents the role of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in continuing his prophetic mission by providing explanations in accordance with the will of God. Therefore, issuing a fatwa is not an easy task, and it is not appropriate for everyone to assume the ability to issue fatwas without undergoing a thorough thought process. It is not permissible for someone to issue a fatwa to the general public unless they possess expertise in the fields of Islamic sciences and have a strong command of fiqh (jurisprudence) and usul al-fiqh (principles of jurisprudence), along with the appropriate methods and objectives (maqasid). This raises the question of how to formulate a method for issuing fatwas from the perspective of Imam Ali Gomaa and why scholars pay great attention to the formation of fatwa methods This research falls under normative research using the literature method, which involves reviewing texts from classical and contemporary fiqh books, as well as fatwa rulings. The findings of this study indicate that the process of issuing a fatwa should go through four stages: al-tashwir (defining the issue), al-takyif (exploring the details), explaining the legal ruling, and making the final fatwa decision The issuer of a fatwa must adhere firmly to the fatwa method, which includes understanding the texts and the reality of society, and knowing how to connect the text with existing societal traditions. They should prioritize issuing fatwas that facilitate and bring joy to society, maintaining moderation and balance in their fatwas, and avoiding haste in addressing contemporary issues. Not all acts of resemblance (tashabbuh) with non-Muslims are considered forbidden (haram). There are acts of resemblance that are indeed judged to be outside the boundaries of Islam, while others are merely disliked (makruh), not recommended, forbidden (haram), permissible (mubah), or even commendable. The observance of the Gregorian New Year is permissible since it does not entail elements of resemblance (tashabbuh), provided that it is not accompanied by religiously prohibited behaviors. The permissibly of celebrating new year is in line with the condition of Madura teenagers. Although, the Madura scholars alliance (AUMA) forbids it because it is considered to resemblance (Tashabbuh) with non muslims.

Abstract

The art of teke, which is a part of the Ngadha people's traditional cultural practices, is the material object of this investigation. The formal object concerns the axiology of women's ideology and its existence. What feminist philosophy is expressed in the teke cultural heritage is the central question of this cultural study. This study explores cultural codes based on traditional Ngada hermeneutics in order to analyze the data through qualitative research methods. The research findings offer a fresh perspective on the distinctiveness of the ine weta ideology, which is a set of beliefs about women specific to the matriarchal Ngadha cultural tradition. More than that, ine weta's ideology actually celebrates gender equality through the joy of dance, poetry, and song. This ideology in the art of teke hermeneutics is a variant of the familial ideology, which must be built and purified through teachings, actions, and celebrations in the light of mesu mora (‘charity love’) harmoniously, closely, roundly, and beautifully in the world of life. The conclusion of this writing is that the authors undertake a cultural study in order to contribute to the discussion of women’s equality by proposing one category of woman ideology found in the matriarchal culture of Ngada, namely, the ideology of ine weta (‘mother-sister’) as a variant of familial ideology uncovered in the art of teke.

Abstract

This article presents an explorative study on the continuity of Gaok traditions amidst social change in Majalengka, West Java, Indonesia. As a cultural heritage, Gaok faced a negative stigma as a bid’ah (heresy). This article investigates how the Gaok serves as a religious expression as well as a form of adaptation for survival. It also explores how Gaok represents the unique religious identity of the Majalengka people with the fusion of Sundanese and Javanese cultures. A folklore approach was employed in this study, involving the texts of manuscripts performed in Gaok, observation of Gaok performances, and interviews with Gaok performers. The study found that Gaok represents the oral religious expressions of the Majalengka people, which contain collective memories about their cultural values, identity, and history. Furthermore, Gaok is an adaptive tradition to the contemporary developments over time, primarily cultural and religious influences in Majalengka. As an oral tradition, Gaok has transformed from participatory and communal art to individual performances.
