Abstract

Material wealth, good health, and efforts to make money are central, but not solely, to the flourishing of religious commodifications. Pola-Pertolongan-Allah is a business-based-religious training which argues that strong beliefs in fate and luck are essential to the efficacy of the rituals, which is believed to generate ‘practical benefits’ for the participants of training. By paying for IDR500,000 – IDR1,500,000 / meeting for private class, and IDR150,000 /three hours for public classes, ‘the devotees’ will get also some kinds of bonus, including additional handbooks of tauhid, practical guide of various shalat patterns. PPA, by doing so, has successfully made the participant to be instrumental in performing meritorious acts to secure future happiness for themselves and their descendants, but still must depend on their fate and moral luck if they are to have the best possible outcomes. PPA, which operates with Multi-Level-Marketing recruitment system, stands in the increased commercialization of Muslim community in Probolinggo. This study finally figures out that commodified religious mode and technique of merit making could be subverted and employed to negotiate and express their religious-economic class identities.

Abstract

Dermolo as one of the villages in Kembang, Jepara, was ever hit by a conflict under a religious background.This friction involved Islamic and Christian groups. The dispute between the two groups increasinglyculminated and seemed to have no end without the presence of the Nation. When the Regional Governmentof Jepara encountered a deadlock in breaking down this social conflict, the presence of a civil societyorganization was necessary. Lakpesdam NU Jepara since 2014 up to now has been trying to extinguishthe fire of conflict in Dermolo which was initially triggered by disputes over the use of a worship place.Through a qualitative descriptive approach by utilizing the theory of conflict resolution and multiculturaleducation, this paper finally succeeds in mapping the four multicultural education patterns used byLakpesdam NU. Those are economic empowerment, religious approaches, empowering women, andempowering village cadres. The result of this academic discourse at the same time provides an alternativemethodological offer that can be replicated by the stakeholders of the policymakers, for example, theRegional Government and the relevant Regional Apparatus Organization. It can be used as a prototype forcivil society organizations and peace activists in settling disputes wrapped in religious sentiment. This kindof inclusive pattern is considered as quite successful as a conflict resolution strategy. Lakpesdam NU Jeparais the only institution that has the sympathy of the residents and the Dermolo Government because it hascontributed positively to restoring social harmony between Christian and Islam groups.

Abstract

Hate speech issues have become one of interesting topics disscussed by academics of different disciplines since two decades ago. The studies employ various perspectives such as linguistics, sociology, anthropology, psychology, politics, law and even media and communication, making the theme an interdisciplinary study. One of prominent and comprehensive studies on hate speech in US from 1920s to the end of twenty century using social and political history perspective is one written by Samuel Walker (1994), a professor in University of Nebraska, Omaha, AS. Walker focused the study on social context and groups interrelation, prejudice and discrimination as political issues, and attempts to control hate speech through legal institutions. Started from terminology analysis like “race hate”, “group libel”, or “racist speech”, Walker then proposed a definition of hate speech and its related expressions such as race, ethnic, religious groups, minority, age, marital status, physical capacity, sexual preference and sex

Abstract

This article aims to see how the three premises of Blumer's Symbolic Interactionism are able to explain thephenomenon of the Tablighi Jamaat preaching in the form of khuruj and jaulah. The question to be answeredin this article is how Tablighi Jamaat interprets the concept of da'wah (preaching), how the meaningconstructed and how the meaning maintained or modified. Using the ethnographic method, this study looks athow the three premises of Blumer Symbolic Interactionism work. Based on the findings and results of theanalysis, it was found that the construction of the meaning of da'wah in the Tablighi Jamaah was very differentfrom the general understanding of the community. According to the Tablighi Jamaat, da’wah is not a lecturebut invites others to obey the rules of Islam. The main purpose of da'wah according to the Tablighi Jamaat isnot to improve others but to improve themselves and is obligatory for every Muslim. This series of meaningfulconstructs has been built since the beginning of this movement, started by Maulana Ilyas. Long beforeMaulana Ilyas chose and maintained the madrasa as a method of da'wah while continuing to evaluate it tothe conclusion that madrasas were not the right solution to improve society as a whole. Furthermore, he appliedthe methods of da'wah and tabligh which he obtained not from social interaction, but obtained from God'sinspired inspiration. Thus, in this phenomenon, the perspective of Blumer Symbolic Interactionism seems tobe limited and unable to explain it thoroughly.

Abstract

The annual death celebration (haul) to religious figure is a key instance of the commodifications of prosperity Islamic mode at institutional level, where strong modern business organizational skills are matched with charismatic leadership. This study implies that successful market mechanism makes haul a consumer commodity attractive to spirituality hungry middle class Muslim community in Probolinggo. It ethnographically observes the intertwining of market and Islam where Muslims community looked to the market as a critical source for experiencing and publicizing a sense of sacred identity. Commodification of religion is deeply embedded in the haul or regularly ziarah (pilgrimage) for every 11 Syawal to Muhammad Hasan, a passed away central figure of kiai in Pesantren Zainul Hasan Genggong Probolinggo, and it makes a strong presence in the spiritual marketplace through commodifications of Kiai Hasan’s amulet and memorabilia, including his photos, tasbih, jimat, akik, and others. This study also reflects on the possible effect of charisma in undermining the sense of authenticity and authority of charismatic Kiai Hasan among the Muslim community in Probolinggo, and the ways it effects on the construction of spiritual market surrounding his cemetery.

Abstract

Using Mohammad in Archipelago as a metaphor of the postmodern religious landscape, this article argues that Mohammad, a prophet of Muslim born in Mecca Saudi Arabia, has undoubtedly become a consumer item in shalawat council (Majelis Shalawat) practiced in many areas of Indonesia, including Probolinggo. This new religious phenomenon has been reproduced in line with the emergence of blurred negotiation between the profane and the sacred, and by the fact that religion is always posed in social life and in business life, shalawat practice also depends itself on the meaning and process making, or the certain socio-cultural context. This study sets the Majelis Shalawat Syubbanul Muslimin, located at Probolinggo, in relation with the ways they reproduced its penetration of religion vis-a-vis market economy. It also portrays how Syubbanul Muslimin produced a spatial order of certain followers since they have successfully practiced modes and techniques of production, consumption, and structuration of their own spiritual market. Additionally, it also contributes to the construction of charisma they have shaped by using the economicpolitical discourse of media.
