Abstract

This study explores the epistemology of Islamic history within the framework of Islamic historiography in North Sumatra through academic research at Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara, Universitas Sumatera Utara, and Universitas Negeri Medan. Islamic history in this region is shaped not only by rational and empirical facts but also by intuition, revelation, and local cultural elements such as mentifacts and sociofacts, requiring an integrative epistemological approach to achieve a holistic reconstruction. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical method, the study combines fieldwork and library research. Data were obtained from theses, dissertations, journals, books, and papers, as well as direct observation, interviews, and examinations of manuscripts and historical artifacts. Source verification was conducted through external and internal criticism, recognizing the limitations of purely empirical methods in addressing the transcendental dimensions of Islamic history. Thematic analysis was organized according to regional scope and scholarly orientation, guided by the prophetic social sciences paradigm that prioritizes ethical and spiritual values as reflected in the Qur’an (Q.S. Ali Imran: 110). Findings reveal distinct emphases: UIN focuses on religious studies and scholar biographies,  Universitas Sumatera Utara  highlights socio-cultural dynamics of the Malay community, and  Universitas Negeri Medan  displays thematic diversity shaped by students’ regional backgrounds.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of Batak clothing under the influence of Dutch colonial culture between 1893 and 1942, as reflected in historical photographs from the Digital Library of Universitas Negeri Medan. The research is grounded in the socio-cultural dynamics of colonial encounters, where clothing became a visible marker of adaptation, resistance, and negotiation of identity among the Batak people. The central research question explores how Dutch colonial values and modernity shaped local dress patterns and aesthetic expressions during this period. Using a qualitative visual analysis method, the study systematically interprets photographic archives to uncover shifts in material, style, and symbolic meaning of Batak attire. The findings reveal that colonial interaction not only introduced new fabrics and tailoring techniques but also influenced social hierarchies, gender representation, and perceptions of respectability within Batak society. The study concludes that clothing transformation during the colonial era reflects a hybridization process—merging indigenous traditions with colonial modernity—signifying both cultural adaptation and subtle resistance to colonial hegemony.

Abstract

This article explores the phenomenon of pilgrimage in Mandailing Natal, emphasizing the practice of visiting the tombs of Islamic scholars (ulama) as an essential part of the region’s religious and cultural landscape. The pilgrimage tradition in Mandailing Natal is closely intertwined with the presence of Islamic educational institutions such as pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), which shape the community’s patterns of piety, reverence, and spiritual devotion toward their religious teachers. Using a qualitative descriptive method that includes field observation, interviews, and literature review, this study finds that religious tourism serves not only as a spiritual journey but also as a medium for cultural preservation and community identity reinforcement. The pilgrimage activities affirm the moral continuity between teachers and students and demonstrate the enduring strength of Islamic values in Mandailing Natal. The conclusion highlights the theoretical and practical contributions of this study to the field of heritage tourism, showing that pilgrimage traditions in Mandailing Natal not only sustain local spirituality but also offer a framework for developing culturally grounded and sustainable heritage tourism models in Islamic contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the local historiography of the 1965 tragedy in Desa Kolam and analyzes the role of Barisan Tani Indonesia (BTI) within the broader socio-political landscape of North Sumatra. Using a qualitative historical method that integrates archival analysis, oral histories, and field observation, the research reconstructs community-level experiences that are largely absent from national narratives of the G30S/PKI period. The findings show that Desa Kolam served as an operational base for BTI prior to the 1965 upheaval, became a site of targeted violence following the state’s designation of the PKI as a prohibited organization, and continues to grapple with collective memory shaped by trauma, silence, and contested interpretations of the past. The study concludes that the micro-history of Desa Kolam offers significant insights into the complexity of political violence in Indonesia and highlights the importance of community-rooted perspectives in enriching the broader historiography of 1965.

Abstract

This study examines the meanings embedded in the Javanese tahlilan tradition through the lens of Schwartz’s basic human values, focusing on benevolence, tradition, conformity, and social security. The research addresses how these values are articulated within tahlilan as a form of local Islamic practice and their significance for social cohesion in Javanese Muslim communities. Employing a literature review approach, this study analyzes scholarly works published over the last decade, selected based on thematic relevance to ritual practices, Islamic local wisdom, and value theory, and examined using qualitative content analysis. The findings indicate that tahlilan functions as a cultural-religious mechanism that reinforces altruistic social relations, preserves inherited ritual traditions, regulates communal behavior through shared norms, and fosters emotional as well as social stability. Collectively, these values position tahlilan not merely as a ritual practice but as a meaningful expression of humanity-centered ethics within Javanese Islam, demonstrating the analytical relevance of Schwartz’s theoretical framework for understanding local religious traditions.

Abstract

Over the past two decades, a controversial historical claim has circulated asserting that Kanjeng Raden Tumenggung (KRT) Sumodiningrat, a prominent official of the Yogyakarta Sultanate who died during the Sepehi War of 1812, was in fact a habib named Hasan bin Yahya, whose tomb is alleged to be located in Lamper Kidul, Semarang, while the tomb in Jejeran is attributed to his brother, Ahmad bin Yahya. This study investigates the genealogy and construction of this claim by posing the central question of how, when, and through what actors and discursive mechanisms the claim emerged and gained legitimacy. Employing a genealogical approach grounded in historical and anthropological scholarship and complemented by a Foucauldian discourse analysis, the study examines both diachronic continuities and synchronic social processes. Methodologically, the research relies on a critical literature review and netnography to trace the diffusion of narratives across books, academic writings, and digital media platforms. The findings indicate that the claim first appeared around 2005 and expanded significantly through publications and online broadcasts, particularly YouTube, gaining authority through endorsement by a nationally influential Islamic scholar and his network. The study concludes that this narrative represents an organized, refined, and strategic form of historical claiming that intertwines scholarship, religious authority, and digital media.

Abstract

This study investigates how knitted structures and patchwork crochet construction can be developed as a sustainable strategy for contemporary art fashion, addressing the growing demand for ethical and environmentally responsible design practices. The research problem centers on how traditional textile crafts may be transformed into innovative garment constructions that maintain aesthetic, functional, and ecological value. Using S. P. Gustami’s craft creation framework—exploration, design, realization, and evaluation—the study combines double crochet, bobble stitch, shell stitch, and loop stitch techniques into modular patchwork panels organized through color-blocking principles. The results show that this construction method produces garments that achieve structural coherence, visual expressiveness, and wearer comfort while reinforcing sustainability through handcrafted, low-waste production processes. Expert validation yielded an average score of 84.6 percent, classified as very good, indicating a high level of design quality and technical feasibility. The study concludes that patchwork crochet-based knitted structures provide a viable and conceptually rich approach for advancing sustainable art fashion by integrating cultural craft traditions with contemporary creative practices.

Abstract

Sego Wiwit is a ritualized expression of harvest gratitude within Javanese agrarian communities, embodying an ecological–spiritual worldview rooted in local cosmology and place-based practices. Recent integration of this ritual into the Ngawen Temple Festival marks a significant spatial and functional shift that raises critical questions regarding cultural meaning, community agency, and heritage sustainability. This study examines how the spatial configuration of Ngawen Temple mediates the transformation of Sego Wiwit from a localized agrarian rite into a public cultural festival, and how this transition reshapes its cultural significance and social function. Guided by the concept of living heritage, the research employs a qualitative approach combining ethnographic observation, participatory spatial mapping, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the monumental and sacred character of Ngawen Temple actively reorients Sego Wiwit from a field-based ritual of ecological reciprocity toward a performative medium of collective memory, identity negotiation, and cultural visibility, while retaining core agrarian symbolism. The study argues that heritage sustainability is not achieved solely through the preservation of ritual forms, but through the maintenance of spatial meanings, communal participation, and adaptive interpretation amid ecological, touristic, and urban pressures.

Abstract

This article examines the rural history and social dynamics of Pergulaan Village, Sei Rampah District, Serdang Bedagai Regency, North Sumatra, with particular attention to its historical development as a settlement within the plantation landscape. The study addresses how the village's historical trajectory and socio-economic transformation have extended beyond its association with plantation activities by analyzing interactions between plantation and non-plantation residents, the diversity of local livelihoods, and patterns of change from the colonial era through the post-independence period to the present. Employing a library research approach, the study critically reviews and synthesizes data from official publications of Statistics Indonesia, official reports issued by the Serdang Bedagai Regency Government, institutional documents, and scholarly literature on plantation communities, rural social transformation, and village socio-economic development. The findings demonstrate that the village economy has consistently relied on a diversified occupational structure encompassing farming, livestock raising, small-scale trade, informal employment, and plantation-related work. The study concludes that Pergulaan Village has continuously adapted to historical, administrative, and economic transformations, indicating that its historical narrative is better understood as a history of rural social change rather than merely a history of plantation development.

Abstract

The historical development of Islamic political thought reflects the dynamic interaction between enduring religious principles and changing socio-political contexts. This article examines how the concepts of shūrā, social justice, and leadership have evolved in the works of six influential Muslim thinkers: Al-Farabi, Al-Mawardi, and Ibn Khaldun from the classical period, alongside Abul A'la Maududi, Ali Shariati, and Muhammad Iqbal from the modern era. Employing a qualitative literature-based approach, this study conducts a comparative analysis of primary and secondary sources to identify both continuity and change across different historical contexts. Unlike previous studies that primarily examine individual thinkers or specific periods, this article comparatively explores the historical development of these three political principles across classical and modern Islamic thought. The findings indicate that the core principles of Islamic political thought remain interconnected across contexts. Rather than representing a uniform transformation, the concepts of shūrā, social justice, and leadership demonstrate diverse reinterpretations in response to changing intellectual, political, and social circumstances. These findings underscore the historical adaptability of Islamic political thought while highlighting the significance of comparative historical analysis in understanding its continuing relevance to contemporary political discourse.
