Abstract

The 17th century was the era of glorious for the development of intellectual history in Aceh, which is characterized by the presence of four well-known scholars, one of them is Abdurrauf Singkel. His work entitled Sullam al - Mustafidin contains views on theology that comes from the teachings of the ahl Sunnah wa al - Jamaah which also confirmed its existence as a Sunni schoolar. Abdurrauf’s theological views has also become important notion in the middle of debate between Hamzah Fansuri and Nuruddin Arraniri about wujudiyah in Aceh in the 17th century. Although al - Mustafidin Sullam text does not explicitly answer the question of wujudiyah in Aceh, but most likely this text was written to neutralize the chaos of religious (read: wujudiyah) and calls on Muslims to return to I’tiqad ahl sunnah wa al -Jamaah.

Abstract

The coming and development of Islam in a region could not be separated from the role of ulama (Islamic scholars or preachers), i.e. the local ulama and the Arab-descendant ulama. In Mandar (West Sulawesi) some names of ulama worth mentioning included Syekh Abdurrahim Kamaluddin, Syekh Abdul Mannan, Raden Mas Suryo Adilogo, Syekh Zakaria al Maghribi, etc. Of those ulama, some came from several regions in the Indonesian archipelago, some were Arab descendants, and some even came directly from the Middle east. However, those earliest preachers only left traces of history. Today their genealogical descendants are no longer found. There was their genealogical vacuum until the end of 19th century. This research analyzes the role of the Arab descendants in in Polewali Mandar, West Sulawesi, by putting forward two questions, namely: 1) How was the picture of the spread of the Arab descendants in Polewali Mandar, West Sulawesi? And how was the institutional system built by the Arab descendants in Polewali Mandar, West Sulawesi? To investigate, this research used a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of research showed that the first entry and development of the Arab descendants in Mandar were marked by the coming of the Arab-descendant preacher named Syekh Alwi bin Abdullah bin Sahl (circa 1880s). Until today, the Arab descendants spreading in Mandar have come from his clan, followed by other Arab descendants coming from other clans.

Abstract

This paper describes the method used by the teacher in teaching the book of monotheism, the obstacles faced by the teacher and the solution, finding the weaknesses and strengths of the teaching method, and knowing the possibility of developing the teachingmethod of the book in Darul Huda Paloh Gadeng North Aceh traditional Islamic School. Based on the results of field research using interview, observation and documentation techniques, the research findings are the methods used by the teacher in the teaching of the books al-'aqīdah al-islāmiyah, tījan ad-durari, and hud hudiin general, namely the method of reading, translation, lecture, question and answer, repetition, and conclusion.The teacher's constraints in the use of teaching methods in each book of monotheism are different. This is due to differences in the ability of students to learn the teaching of the book al-'Aqīdah al-Islāmiyah, Tījan ad-Durari,and Hud Hudi. Those differences have their own advantages and disadvantages. The methods of teaching the tauhid book in the traditional Islamic School in Aceh still need development and renewal in accordance with the times and technological advances.

Abstract

The main object of this research is the episode of Ritumpanna Walenrengnge (the cut down of Walenreng tree) from the manuscript of La Galigo. The mentioned manuscript then analyzed by using environmental ethics approach. This study aims to explain the concept of relations between humans and nature in the manuscript, and also to find environmental ethics view within the manuscript. This study was conducted through library research using descriptive, verstehen, hermeneutic, and heuristic methods. The study process started from preparing the research materials, followed by data gathering, research data systematization, results analysis and concluded with critical reflection. The manuscript of La Galigo contains cosmological explanation of Buginese people. Similar to other Eastern cultural features, the mythology of La Galigo also shows strong attachment between humans and nature. This feature is pictured by Sawerigading’s ritual and persuasive effort to cut down Welenreng tree for noble and important cause. It is generally explained that, Ritumpanna Welenrengnge has an anthropocentrism pattern. In environmental ethics discourse, anthropocentrism is considered as the cause of every environment exploitation. This study draws different line from negative understanding of anthropocentrism, and focusing on important spiritually enlightened human aspect so that they are able to do positive fundamental changes for the sake of environment.

Abstract

Relationships between Islam and local cultures, post-coloniality, the construction of National Islams and nationalisms are extraordinarily complex. They pose complex academic, theological and political problems. This paper considers examples from the province of West Java in post-colonial Indonesia. It will be concerned with the ways in which elements of local West Javanese/Sundanese culture are rejected by Islamist nationalists but at the same time incorporated into a regional variant of the culture friendly Islam Nusantara formulated by Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in 2015. See Chamami (2015) and Woodward (2018). It also suggests that what Philosopher of Science Karl Popper termed the “situational logic” of Islam Nusantara is based on principles that have driven the construction of what Historian Marshal Hodgson (1974) termed Islamicate Civilizations since they emerged in the sixth century. Thorough consideration of these questions requires an overarching analytic and theoretical framework. Without one, we can produce disconnected, fragmentary analyses with limited practical applications. This paper is an attempt to establish such a framework. Building on Berger’s constructivist approach to the Sociology of Religion, it draws on seemingly divergent themes in the academic discourse about religion/society/state relationships in hope that the resulting synthesis will be of greater analytic utility and practical applicability than the sum of its parts. Empirically it focuses on West Java, Sundanese culture and emergence of alternative National Islams in contemporary Indonesia. It also makes comparative references to neighbouring countries, especially Malaysia. Theoretically, it is transdisciplinary, combining approaches from Cultural Anthropology, History, Political Science and Religious Studies. Given the current state of intra-Islamic political and religious discourse, it also necessarily focuses on debates between Sufi oriented “traditionalists” and Salafi oriented “modernists” that have been a major feature of colonial and post-colonial Muslim discourse for more than a century. It argues that alternative National Islams are shaped by a combination of theological debates and religion/state/society dynamics.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and understand the religious values contained in the Bakar Batu tradition for people in the land of Papua. With a qualitative approach, this research was conducted to find religious values in the culture of society, and describe the various meanings of the community towards these values. After going through the process of interviews, observation and study of documents, this study found that the tradition of Bakar Batu, which is an indigenous culture in the land of Papua, has undergone a transformation in governance, and the purpose of its tradition. Bakar Batu, which used to be a culinary wisdom of the people in the land of Papua, transformed into one of the solvents of vengeance and wound fusion for people who had previously fought each other. Bakar Batu also functions as a medium for channeling the blessings of the Supreme Being to the community, through the hands of executors of tradition. Tolerance, mutual cooperation and mutual respect are also reflected in the noble values of the implementation of the Bakar Batu tradition in the midst of the Papuan people. Bakar Batu is now a unifying medium between indigenous Papuans, people living in Papua, and migrants. The depth and noble wisdom of the process of Bakar Batu implementation also shows the achievement of religious values that have the potential to realize shared ideals towards a land of peace in Papua.

Abstract

Although Islamic literature has gained serious attention by Islamic world since 1940s, it has not yet taken a significant place in the world literature, let alone in the English language research areas. For its opponents, Islamic literature is not yet underpinned by a solid definition, while for its proponents, Islamic literature needs further exploration in the sense of its instructional implication. This article seeks to strengthen the existence of Islamic literature by offering its theological and social grounds as well as by proposing possible instructional strategies of using the Islamic literature in teaching English within the contemporary Indonesian context. Research method including R & D and a library research were employed to collect and analyze the data. This study finds that Islamic literature has a strong theological ground and a long established social ground. It is also found that using appropriate visuals, high text exploitability, and relevant glosses are among the effective instructional strategies.

Abstract

Studieson Islam in Nusantara are primarily related to Islam's transmission to Nusantara. Meanwhile, the role of vernacularization (localizing) of Islamic sciences by Nusantara scholars -including attention to vernacularization of interpretive science -gained less attention. This paper employs the vernacular concept from A.H. Johns, discussing the role of Jawi Tafsir in the Islamization of Nusantara in the early phases of both the formulation of Islamic Nusantara Islam and the socio-cultural transformation of Nusantara. The conceptual frameworks are related to enculturation, adoption, and cultural adaptation, in which vernacularization occurs in each of these processes. Through studies on the Jawi's vernacular interpretation (Tarjumān al-Mustafīd), this paper argues that in the early scientific formulation of the Nusantara Islam that transformed the socio-cultural Nusantara, Tarjumān al-Mustafīd played a significant role. With another Jawi commentaries, Tarjumān al-Mustafīd then became the Nusantara's Islamic identity and proof of Islam with the archipelago's character.

Abstract

Cross-cultural interactions are commonplace. The fact that Javanese people are very multicultural is one of the perfect examples. The text of Babad Ngayogyakarta Hamengkubuwana IV-V records this phenomenon. The text, a copy written in 1881CE (during HB VII period), is indeed an important cultural document. Bbd.Ngy.HB IV-V contains an account of the coronation of HB IV and stories how he and his successor (HB V) governed the kingdom. A close reading of this text gives an overview of how Javanese culture coexists in harmony with Islam. Islam is seen not only as a religion but also an identity that exists within the kings. However, Javanese culture is also irrevocable for Javanese leaders. The text said that the king (when he was still a teenager) must read the Qur'an everyday. This is referred to in the text with the word ngarbi that is interpreted as Arabic and refers to an Arabic letter (referring to the Qur'an). The king not only had to study the religion but also to read Javanese literary books, namely Babad Mentawis, Serat Rama, and Astabrata, all of which provide wisdoms by giving examples of archetypal behaviors and teachings for a king. Habituation with two these pillars side by side, religion and cultural traditions, in preparing the king shows the importance of character. Religion is a pillar that must be strong within a leader’s character, but he must not abandon the local culture of high value. The combination of the two pillars becomes the ideal character of a Javanese leader.

Abstract

Over the past two decades, the trend of fatwa requests has increased. Fatwas issued by certain individuals or organizations are used as references in daily life. Likewise in Indonesia through the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) where the desire for asking fatwas is almost the same as the desire for implementing the fatwa itself. Including fatwas related to religious sects such as Ahmadiyya which are often become victims of discrimination and assault. Studies of this research focuses on texts fatwa issued by MUI on Ahmadiyya sect in 1980 and 2005. This study departs from the claims of some researchers who think that the fatwa had a strong correlation with actions and violent behavior that befell the Ahmadiyya Community. Use an anthropological linguistic approach, this study show Jemaah Ahmadiyya considers that fatwas are opinion. As usual opinion, he must be respected. Disagreement with an opinion is common. Because opinions are not binding. Such a pedestal of thinking simultaneously raises attitudes and responses that tend to appear to 'accept what we are'. However, if examined more closely, there are a number of efforts which although they are 'sporadic' and are not interpreted as a specific strategy to counter the actual heretical labelling efforts carried out by the Jemaah Ahmadiyya.
