Abstract

This article interprets the encounters between various elements—Islam and rites, syarak and custom, and the profane and sacred—in the development of Islam in Bolaang Mongondow, North Sulawesi. The interpretation is based on the theoretical framework of cultural ambiguity. By exploring the tolerance of ambiguity, compromise solutions, and divergent meanings, this study aims to reveal religious expressions that embody an "in-between" state. Utilizing a literature study approach with cultural and historical perspectives, the findings indicate that the tolerance of ambiguity allows Islam and local rites to coexist in this "in-between" expression. The integration of syarak and custom in the development of Islam in Bolaang Mongondow also highlights this "in-between" expression, adhering to the principle that customs contravening syarak are abandoned, while those not contravening are maintained. Additionally, the carving of thayyibah words in Islamic art in Bolaang Mongondow illustrates the divergent meanings between the profane and sacred. Ultimately, the encounters between these different elements coexist within the "in-between" expression, uniting them into a singular Islamic cultural expression.

Abstract

Although the majority of the Banjar tribe today embraces Islam, elements of pre-Islamic culture have acculturated and remain relevant in their daily lives. One such element is the cacak burung symbol. Rooted in the traditional beliefs of the pre-Islamic Dayak tribe, the cacak burung symbol has persisted into the present-day Banjar society, now with an Islamic identity. This persistence necessitates a process of transmission and transformation in its development. This study examines the diachronic transformation of the cacak burung symbol, aiming to reinterpret and ensure its continuity in various contexts. The study addresses three main questions: (1) What is the history and use of the cacak burung symbol in the pre-Islamic Dayak tradition? (2) How has the use of the cacak burung symbol evolved from the post-Islamization era to the present? (3) What is the process of transmission and transformation of the cacak burung symbol in Banjar society? This qualitative research employed descriptive analysis xmethod. Through observations of the cacak burung symbol in traditional Banjar practices and interviews, the study concludes that the symbol is transmitted from generation to generation through discursive traditions. This transmission pattern necessitates transformations in the reading mantra, material, and form of the symbol. These transformations are influenced by the Islamization of the Dayak-Banjar tribe, adaptations to a busier lifestyle, and the impact of globalization.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of Islamic law (sharia) and local customs through the analysis of the Pa'bitte Passapu dance, a cultural expression of the Ammatoa community in Tanah Toa Village, Kajang District. Utilizing field research and Roland Barthes' cultural semiotic theory, this research reveals the denotative and connotative symbols within the dance movements. Data collection methods included observation, interviews, and documentation. The subjects of this study were the dancers of the Pa'bitte Pasapu dance, their trainers, and local government officials. The findings indicate that the Pa'bitte Passapu Dance embodies elements of harmony between sharia and da'wah, guiding society towards harmonious living. Denotatively, the dance features physical movements and visual symbols, such as spinning movements, fighting simulations, and the use of symbolic elements like chickens, which are part of the aesthetic performance. Connotatively, the dance conveys complex messages encompassing moral, social and ideological values. The study argues that the Pa'bitte Passapu Dance serves as a medium that connects sharia and art, providing entertainment while also reinforcing cultural identity and religious values within the Ammatoa community. This research highlights the importance of preserving local cultural expressions as a relevant and adaptive platform for preaching, while at the same time addressing local communities’ needs

Abstract

This study aims to explore the Atadiken philosophy in the Lamaholot community, especially on their perspectives and practices on humanity.  A qualitative research was conducted, employing field observations and structured interviews with 45 informants from three islands in East Flores Regency: East Flores mainland, Adonara, and Solor. Research participants include traditional leaders, religious figures, educators, and youth from the two main religions in East Flores. The study finds that the Lamaholot Atadiken philosophy can serve as an epistemological foundation to support and develop religious moderation in Indonesia. Atadiken’s philosophy views humanity as kin, recognizing, valuing, respecting, and protecting individuals as dignified beings. This reinforces key terms in religious moderation, such as humanity, collective welfare, justice, tolerance, commitment to shared agreements, non-violence, and love for the nation and tradition. With its core emphasis on humanity, Atadiken’s philosophy promotes religious moderation and social harmony, aligning with both local and global religious ideals.

Abstract

This research delves into the study of a Qur'anic exegesis that marks a milestone in the renewal of interpretive traditions in early 20th-century Indonesia. Through a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, this study examines A. Hassan's innovative methodology that integrates the concise and analytical methods of interpretation, with an emphasis on social context and rationality. The main focus of the research is to analyze the uniqueness of A. Hassan's approach in interpreting the Qur'an and to explore his role as a reformer in the Malay-Nusantara exegetical tradition. A literature study was used for data collection, while Fazlur Rahman's theory of modern Islamization was applied to understand the responsiveness to contemporary societal issues. This study also investigates the impact of using the Indonesian language and Latin script, which significantly increased the accessibility of Qur'anic interpretation in Indonesia. Furthermore, the study examines the work's contribution in stimulating the renewal of religious thought and fostering the spirit among Indonesian Muslims. The research findings reveal that is not merely a theological exegetical work, but also functions as a crucial agent of social and intellectual change in the Islamic reform movement in Indonesia at the beginning of the 20th century. This work bridges the gap between classical traditions and the demands of modernity, paving the way for a more contextual and relevant interpretation of the Qur'an for Indonesian society.

Abstract

The sacredness of Gunung Kawi Malang is deeply associated with the figures of Kiai Zakaria II (Eyang Djoego) and R.M Iman Sujana. This study examines the phenomenology of sacredness at Gunung Kawi Malang, focusing on its conceptual underpinnings and implications. Central to this inquiry is the Serat Iman Sujana manuscript, discovered at Gunung Kawi Malang, which provides key insights into the sacredness attributed to the site. Employing a phenomenological approach, this research interprets the layers of sacred meaning embedded in Gunung Kawi Malang, particularly in light of its historical role as a center for mystical practices, including pesugihan rituals. Additionally, a literature study of the Serat Iman Sujana manuscript was conducted to deepen the analysis. Findings reveal that the sacralization of Gunung Kawi Malang is significantly influenced by Kiai Zakaria II (Eyang Djoego) and R.M Iman Sujana. The connection between these figures and the Serat Iman Sujana manuscript is reflected in the presence of Raden Iman Sujana as a key character, whereas Kiai Zakaria II is notably absent from the text. The manuscript portrays Iman Sujana as a waliyullah (Allah representative), tracing his lineage back to the apostle of Allah. If, as the Kekancingan letter suggests, Iman Sujana was the great-grandfather of Hamengkubuwana I, then the sanctification of Gunung Kawi Malang through these figures aligns with the broader tradition of Islamic scholarship. Additionally, oral traditions depict Iman Sujana not only as a spiritual scholar but also as a soldier and mentor to Pangeran Diponegoro, further reinforcing his multifaceted role in both religious and historical narratives.

Abstract

This article examines Kuta Bara, one of the vassal kingdoms of Majapahit, with a particular focus on its localization and historical significance during the reign of Hayam Wuruk. The nature of Kuta Bara remains a subject of debate among local historians in Jember, East Java, particularly concerning its location and function. Based on written sources, some scholars have identified Kuta Bara as a Buddhist religious site situated in Cakru village. However, recent archaeological discoveries have prompted a reassessment of these interpretations, necessitating a more comprehensive historical analysis. Employing established historical research methods e.g., heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography, this study reevaluates existing perspectives on Kuta Bara. It proposes that rather than a religious site, Kuta Bara functioned as a trading city located in the vicinity of Kraton village. By integrating both textual sources and material evidence, this article offers a revised interpretation of Kuta Bara’s role within the broader political and economic networks of Majapahit.

Abstract

This article examines the theonym Mori Keraéng as a theological foundation for eco-pastoral practices in the Catholic Church, particularly in the context of indigenous Manggarai cosmology. It responds to the need for contextual theological models that integrate local wisdom with ecological responsibility. The study employs Martin Heidegger’s phenomenological methodology, which emphasizes allowing phenomena to disclose themselves and describing what appears without distortion. Fieldwork was conducted in three districts of Manggarai: East Manggarai, Manggarai, and West Manggarai by engaging local informants who have deep familiarity with the Mori Keraéng tradition. Informants were invited to share their lived understanding without interference, enabling the emergence of authentic cultural-theological insights. Findings reveal that Mori Keraéng is understood as a cosmic deity who not only creates but also sustains the Earth as a common household for all living beings. Nature is perceived as a medium of divine epiphany, revealing God's ongoing presence within creation. Furthermore, the relational dynamic within Mori Keraéng marked by mutual self-limitation and interpenetration (e.g., Father-Sky and Mother-Earth) offers a paradigm of intra-divine collaboration that serves as a model for ecological relationships among creatures. In conclusion, the indigenous concept of Mori Keraéng provides a rich theological resource for constructing a Catholic eco-theology grounded in local cosmological thought. It affirms the sacredness of creation and calls for a collaborative and respectful engagement with the natural world.

Abstract

This article examines efforts to preserve ancient Islamic manuscripts in Indonesia, with particular emphasis on the risks associated with current conservation practices. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyzes data sourced from social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and relevant websites. The data collection follows a desk-review method, in which content is gathered and categorized based on predefined criteria. This information is then filtered and analyzed to map the threats emerging from preservation efforts. The findings reveal three primary risks in the implementation of manuscript conservation: (1) physical damage resulting from improper preservation methods; (2) the loss of contextual or historical identity of the manuscripts; and (3) the discontinuity or fragmentation of textual content. These risks underscore the need for a comprehensive review of existing government policies and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for manuscript preservation. Such policies must be contextually adapted to Indonesia’s specific environmental and institutional conditions to guide preservation actors effectively.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of Islamic values within the local wisdom of the Baduy Indigenous community. Its focuses on cultural and religious harmony, utilizing a descriptive-analytical method to explore the socio-cultural and religious dynamics reflected in scientific texts and documents. This research employs a qualitative approach through a systematic review of relevant literature, including scientific journals, books, research reports, academic articles, official documents, and previously published interviews (Mills & Birks, 2017). The primary data consists of literature directly addressing the interaction between Islamic values and Baduy traditions, while secondary sources provide additional context regarding the social, historical, and religious dimensions of the community. The qualitative data analyzed includes narratives, concepts, principles, and interpretations of customary and religious values as practiced by both the Outer and Inner Baduy groups. The thematic analysis was employed following an inductive process, emphasizing textual comprehension alongside a contextual and reflective interpretation of the integration of Islamic principles, while also recognizing the distinctiveness of Baduy customs. Through this methodological framework, the study contributes to the development of a theoretical model for understanding cultural and religious harmony, supported by comprehensive and in-depth literature analysis.
