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

In Islam, the issuance of a fatwa is a significant task that not everyone is equipped to do so, as it requires deep understanding of Islamic sciences, jurisprudence, and principles thereof. This study discusses the process of formulating a fatwa, particularly from Imam Ali Gomaa's perspective, emphasizing the importance of methodical approaches in fatwa creation. The paper uses a normative research approach, examining classical and contemporary texts and rulings. The study outlines a four-step fatwa issuance process: defining the issue, exploring its details, elucidating the legal ruling, and making the final decision. It highlights the need for fatwa producers to understand societal realities and connect them with religious texts, while ensuring moderation and balance. The paper also discusses nuances in judgments on acts resembling non-Muslim practices, stating they can range from being forbidden to commendable, depending on specific circumstances. For example, celebrating the Gregorian New Year is permissible, barring any religiously prohibited behaviors. This is despite objections from some factions, like the Madura scholars alliance, who view it as inappropriate resemblance with non-Muslim practices

Abstract

Mountains, hills, and highlands have long been venerated in ancient beliefs as the dwelling places of deities. West Lampung, with its sacred sites, is a prime example of such places. These sites, evidenced by numerous archaeological findings, have recorded the evolution of religious significance over time. This study aims to explore the transformation of these sacred sites and their contemporary interpretations. The main objective of this research is to explore the progression of religious shift in Liwa, West Lampung. By examining archaeological records from 2011 to 2018, this study constructs chronological narrative of the region’s early religious history. The findings reveal four prevalent patterns that encapsulate the religious transformations from the 10th to the 19th centuries. These patterns, derived from archaeological data and supplemented by contextual and historical analysis, indicate a shift in religious practices in this region. This shift aligns with Lewis Rambo’s model of religious change in a macro context, characterized by encounter, interaction, communication and subsequent consequences. This study, therefore, provides valuable insights into the dynamic nature of religious practices and beliefs in Liwa over centuries.

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.

Abstract

The growth of congregation activities in Aceh's old mosques has contributed to the area expansion of the old mosques. This article examines three case studies of old mosques in Aceh that represent three scenarios of spatial expansion, including:  mihrab extension integrated into the old mosque, side expansion attached to the old building, and expansion by adding a new mosque building. Three old mosques under study were Teungku Di Anjong Mosque in Banda Aceh, the Asal Penampaan Mosque in Gayo Lues, and the Gunong Kleng Mosque in West Aceh. This paper aims to analyze the mosque's spatial connection from three architectural aspects:  (1) Pattern of Additional Area, (2) Functionality and Other Features, (3) The Architectural Forms and Materiality of the old and new mosques. A qualitative study was employed through the analysis of architectural and visual images of the three mosques. The study found that adding new spaces to the three mosques significantly divides old and new mosques. The main function of the mosque as a place of worship intertwines with its function as a center of cultural activities as found in the old and new spaces. Furthermore, the old mosque architecture influenced modern mosques, although not completely. The old form harmonized with new materials to reconcile with contemporary construction methods.
