Aim Jurnal Penelitian is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research on various aspects of religiosity, Islam, and culture in Indonesia. As a predominantly Muslim country, Indonesia is home to a diverse range of local cultures. Islam, which originated outside of Indonesia, brought with it not only religious doctrines but also cultural influences. The interaction between Islam— as the majority religion— and the unique cultural identity of Indonesia is a central theme of the journal. The journal focuses on exploring the dynamics between Islam and Indonesian identity, examining how the two intersect and influence each other. Scope The dynamics between Islam and Indonesian identity enable a diverse range of scientific studies. Therefore, the scope of Jurnal Penelitian includes issues related to: - The relationship between Islam and local culture in Indonesia, - Islamic movements vis-a-vis the state in Indonesia, - Mainstreaming religious moderation in Indonesia, - Islamic education and appreciation of local culture in Indonesia.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the role of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in succeeding the Indonesian’s public diplomacy through peace agenda for Afghanistan. Cooperation and partnership between Indonesia and Afghanistan entered a new phase with a focus on the conflict reconciliation and capacity building agendas. Indonesia becomes Afghanistan's top choice to become a peace broker between the Afghan government and the Taliban, since no assistance has been offered by other Muslim countries and the Indonesian’s property of Islamic ‘Wasathiyah’ diplomacy has been attractive. Thus, this research will answer why is NU more favorable than its similar moderate organization, Muhammadiyah, and what are the main roles of NU in supporting the government’s agenda. By using interview and collecting secondary data and implementing soft power theory framework, multitrack diplomacy, and public diplomacy, this study found that there are three important roles hold by NU in this case. First, NU as an actor who has credibility in the field of Islamic Wasathiyah discourse, second, NU acts as a strategic collaborative partner of the Indonesian government by engaging in several official state programs, and third, NU carries out its public diplomacy role by initiating independent programs for Afghanistan.

Abstract

This research is aimed to dismantle and to reveal the religious moderation values from a local legacy of a Muslim cleric/kyai’s reflective thought written in a Javanese-Arabic poem (syiir) “Tanpo Waton” authored by KH. Muhammad Nizam As-Shofa, a local kyai and a spiritual master of the Naqsyabandiyyah Kholidiyyah sufi order. What remains interesting in this syiir is that it has been inaugurated by the national figure of pluralism as well as the fourth president of Indonesia, KH. Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) through his popular melodious chanting. This is a qualitative-descriptive research. Data collection in this study uses documentation, with a content and discourse analysis technique through the lens of religious moderation concept as the currently Indonesian grand narrative campaign for religious harmony. The analysis then entails the production of data in which there are textual and contextual meaning implied within the syiir which emphasizes how important it is to stick with the values of religious moderation for building Indonesian harmony and strengthening national unity within diversity. The religious moderation narrative within the syiir indeed embeds the values of nationalism, tolerance, non-violence and local wisdom respect. Such values are among the pivotal elements to teach and disseminate towards Indonesian generations for the sake of Indonesian harmony.

Abstract

This paper discusses the renewal of Islam by Paderi in Minangkabau’s community, west Sumatera, Indonesia. Seventy years after the Paderi movement stopped because young scholars known as the Youth Generation (YG) continued Dutch colonial pressure with original models and characteristics. To delve into this problem, a historical research method was required to test and analyze the vital records and relics of the yesteryear. This research is qualitative. The research and discussion found: first, the reform in Islam consisted of 2 indicators, namely (1) the returns of Islamic purity to the guidance of the Qur'an and Hadiths, and (2) modernization as a representation of the youth movement. Second, the violence by the Paderi was inappropriate if related to Minangkabau’s cultures which were tolerant and familial. The first Islamization process in Minangkabau was also never penetrated by a power of politics such as war. Third, the conflict had triggered a vivacious and dynamic religious discourse. We could see this from many meetings and debates held both during the Paderi and during Youth Generation. Besides, various schools had appeared, publishing books and magazines from each generation to socialize and make a struggle for religious understanding.

Abstract

Al-Khairaat is an Islamic Boarding School founded by a charismatic cleric of Hadramaut descent, Sayyid Idrus bin Sālim Al-Jufrie in Palu, Central Sulawesi. Since its establishment in 1930, more than 500 branches of Al-Khairaat schools have spread in the central, northern, southeast, and western parts of Sulawesi Island to Gorontalo area. The development of Al-Khairaat became interesting because the school curriculum represents a pattern of Hadrāmī tradition offered in society (ahwal). Besides, the charismatic dominance of Sayyid Idrus bin Sālim Al-Jufrie as a descendant of the Prophet became an appeal in gaining public trust in Al-Khairaat. This research aimed to analyze the extent of how the Hadrāmī tradition applied and the influence of Sayyid Idrus Bin Sālim Al-Jufrie as a descendant of the Prophet to develop Al-Khairaat boarding school. The field research was carried out using an ethnographic method. The research results showed that the tradition of Hadrāmī in the form of wirid, dhikr, and shalawat had become an appeal. It conforms to the social conditions of Gorontalo people, who appear to be traditionalists in the practice of religion and some of their people are similar to the rituals of urban sufism. In addition, people who want their children to become proficient in religion often claim that Al-Khairaat can deliver these values. As for the dominance of habāib, it is more noticeable in culture, social, and symbol in the context of a high appreciation of it in society's social stratification and even things considered non-scientific.

Abstract

An analysis of the popularity and respectability of the exegetical sub-genre asbāb al-nuzūl (occasions of revelation) in the Qur’an is usually regarded to be considered under the category of Qur’anic sciences, which is an intersection between exegesis and narration. With the tool of asbāb al-nuzūl, the exegetes obtain a structural rule that lets them supervise the verse. Furthermore, because of the problems attended upon taking a strictly historical view of asbāb al-nuzūl, Muslim scholars sometimes interpret an asbāb al-nuzūl to mean not an actual historical event, but any situation to which given Qur’anic verses might have application. Therefore, this study aims to hunt a detailed inspection of the rule of interpretation, which is related to asbāb al-nuzūl applied by M. Quraish Shihab (b. 1944), who was a prolific Indonesian exegete and his published works continue to exert a strong influence. Therefore, to arise a reasonably effortless question: what are the rules contracted to fulfil? When one knows about the asbāb al-nuzūl, it is still to be decided whether the revelation has a specific implication for the particular occasion it was connected with, or whether it is of a general implication and needs to be applied by Muslims at all times. In this vein, by applying a document with an analytical approach, this article found two rules that were related to asbāb al-nuzūl used by Shihab to ensure that the resulting exegesis was following the requirements of Islamic law. Both of these rules emphasise that the most authentic and preferable rule according to majority of the scholars, which is the ruling should be derived based on the generality of the text and not on the particularity of the reason.

Abstract

Recently, there are more and more zakat management institutions offering progressive programs. One of them is micro-economic development that encourages the community's economic sector. However, there are still many Muslims who do not know about that. This study aims to capture the public's perception of the distribution of zakat. It focused on micro-economic empowerment programs. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach through a survey method with a sample of 1129 respondents. Indonesian people already understand the obligations of Muslims. But, this awareness is still lacking. The openness and transparency of each distribution and management of zakat funds will greatly determine public perceptions and influence the subsequent programs. Zakat institutions must be professional and have a positive impact on mustahiq. They have to give assistance and guidance to them in managing trading businesses as micro-economic empowerment.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the problems of establishing worship places in Indonesia and the potential for the development of religious harmony. The previous study explained that the issue of establishing places of worship in Indonesia had been accommodated in the Joint Regulation of the Minister of Religion and the Minister of Home Affairs (PBM) Number 9 and 8 of 2006 concerning the maintenance of religious harmony, empowerment of spiritual harmony forums, and the establishment of houses of worship. Researchers collected data through interviews and document studies of various cases related to conflicts over places of worship in Indonesia. This study uses a conceptual approach to developing the essential elements of sociology and the Strengths Weakness Opportunity Problem Action (SWOPA) analysis method to analyze the root causes and develop alternative policies to improve conflicts over the construction of places of worship in Indonesia. This study indicates that regulations regarding the establishment of houses of worship are used as a means of dialogue and become a legitimation to complicate and exclude the process of establishing houses of worship for minorities from various religions. In addition, the structural, cultural, and processual aspects that exist in the community are essential to be managed to minimize the occurrence of conflict. Stakeholders can also consider this analysis to build inclusive inter-religious relations.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of religious awareness, religious experience, religious maturity, religious conversion, and the factors influencing religiosity among Muslim minorities in Purbo, Pekalongan, Central Java, Indonesia. A qualitative descriptive research approach was employed, with informants selected through a snowball sampling technique. The findings reveal several key insights. First, the religious awareness of Muslim minorities in Purbo Hamlet is characterized by a profound sense of faith, which is perceived as a divine gift from Allah (SWT). However, their religious experience is primarily centered on ritual worship, viewed more as an obligatory practice than as a deeply transformative spiritual engagement. Second, religious maturity among the Muslim minority does not fully align with established theoretical criteria, exhibiting distinct characteristics that differentiate it from conventional models. Third, religious conversion occurs in two directions: conversion to Islam and conversion away from Islam, with marriage being the predominant driver of religious shifts. Fourth, the dynamics of religiosity among Muslim minorities in Purbo are shaped by both internal and external factors, including developmental age, subjective religious experiences, education, environmental influences, and cultural norms. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding religious identity within minority communities.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the innovation of digital-based Arabic learning models, particularly regarding Human Resource (HR) innovations and the utilization of digital facilities at three Islamic Higher Education (Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam/PTKI) Institutions in Southeast Sulawesi. This qualitative research employs a phenomenological approach, with data collected from primary and secondary sources through observation, interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and document studies. The data was analyzed using categorization, description, and synthesis techniques, with data validity tested through triangulation. The findings of this article indicate that the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Kendari, the Islamic College (STAI) YPIQ Baubau, and the Islamic Institute (IAI) Al-Mawaddah Warahmah Kolaka have implemented innovations in digital-based Arabic learning models. The creativity of human resources (lecturers, students, and administrative staff) shows different adaptation styles in utilizing digital facilities. These innovations have facilitated Arabic language learning but have not been fully supported by the digital competence of human resources at these three institutions. In terms of digital facilities meeting standard requirements, the three Islamic Higher Education Institutions exhibit varying levels of innovation in digital-based Arabic learning models, especially in operational digital formats, HR competence readiness, and availability of facilities. The digital-based Arabic learning model innovations at these institutions offer advantages, compatibility, and religious complexity. These innovations are implemented with a commitment to enhancing HR creativity and providing representative digital facilities based on needs.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the hegemony of religious leaders (Ulama) in contemporary politics and how Ulama exercise their hegemonic roles in the political process in Central Java. Data was obtained through primary and secondary sources, with primary data collected through field research using interviews, and secondary data gathered through literature research. The findings indicate that the entanglement between Ulama and politics is caused by two factors: political oligarchy within political parties and the political hegemony of Ulama. The political hegemony of Ulama in the political constellation of Central Java makes them highly influential in political affairs. However, from the perspective of real political dimensions in Central Java, Ulama have yet to secure strategic positions in either the executive or legislative branches.
