Abstract

Religious pluralism is a constructive attitude encompassing not only theological and normative awareness but also social awareness, acknowledging the reality of living in a pluralistic society with diverse religions, cultures, ethnicities, and social structures. Religious pluralism must also be understood as an authentic appreciation for diversity. It involves the acceptance of various religions and is employed in multiple contexts. Pluralism seeks to deconstruct absolutism, promote relativism, and establish a foundation of tolerance for differences and heterogeneity. It views pluralism not merely as a fact to be recognized but also as a positive force to be celebrated and utilized constructively. This study employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing textual analysis of religious and philosophical literature to explore the theoretical and practical dimensions of religious pluralism. The findings reveal that religious pluralism functions as a unifying force across societal strata, fostering cohesion and integration. A pluralist must not only acknowledge but also actively defend diversity and heterogeneity as valuable assets. However, the research highlights ongoing challenges in societal perceptions, where misunderstandings and differing interpretations of pluralism and multiculturalism—often influenced by personal perceptions rather than sharia-based principles—persist. This study contributes to the discourse on religious pluralism by providing a nuanced analysis of its potential to bridge differences and foster coexistence in diverse societies. It also offers a framework for addressing misconceptions, emphasizing the importance of aligning pluralistic values with broader socio-religious principles.

Abstract

This study analyzes the discourse on the caliphate system, the Islamic state, and Sharia-based regional regulations among Indonesian Muslim youth. Following the reform era in Indonesia, the rise of Islamic studies and political discourse was accompanied by a significant resurgence of Islamic conservatism. Discussions on jihad, the caliphate, Sharia-based regional regulations, and efforts to establish an Islamic state became increasingly prominent. This research employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation among millennial Islamic activists attending public schools in Pekalongan City, Central Java, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using an interactive analysis model developed by Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal that Muslim youth exhibit multiple, often conflicting perspectives. While they aspire to practice Islam comprehensively in all aspects of life, they also acknowledge that Pancasila (the Five Principles) remains the most suitable foundation for governance in Indonesia's pluralistic society, on the one hand. Moreover, the study highlights a widespread lack of literacy among Indonesian youth regarding the historical debates on the relationship between religion and the state during Indonesia’s founding. This gap affects their understanding and contextualization of the discourse on the caliphate system, Islamic state, and Sharia regulations. On the other hand, the rise of textual interpretations and minimal awareness of nationalism and civic literacy poses a potential threat to Indonesia’s future as a unified nation. This research contributes to the discourse on Islamic political thought and youth studies by examining the complex interplay between religious aspirations and national identity among Indonesian Muslim youth. It underscores the need for educational interventions to enhance understanding of the historical and contextual dimensions of religion-state relations, fostering a balanced approach to nationalism and religious values.

Abstract

The purpose of research is to analyze the cultural propagation model employed by Sunan Gunung Jati in disseminating Islamic teachings. This study is classified as library research, utilizing primary and secondary sources such as books, journals, and other relevant literature. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques, including source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The findings reveal that Sunan Gunung Jati’s cultural propagation model relied on petitah-petitih advice and sayings, authority, ipat-ipit guidance and practical wisdom, and magersari community engagement practices. These strategies effectively aligned Islamic teachings with the cultural context of local communities, making them more accessible and acceptable. The use of petitah-petitih and ipat-ipit facilitated the understanding of Islamic principles through culturally familiar forms, while magersari exemplified the application of Islamic values in social interactions (muamalah). This research contributes to the study of Islamic propagation by providing a historical and methodological framework for understanding how cultural integration can enhance the effectiveness of religious teachings. It highlights the adaptability of Islamic propagation strategies to local contexts, fostering a deeper understanding of Islamic values within diverse cultural settings.

Abstract

This article examines the concept of God's personality based on the perspectives of the Mu'tazilah and Asy'ariah, two Islamic theological schools with different approaches. The Mu'tazilah adopts a moderate framework grounded in rationalism, while the Asy'ariah employs a traditional classical framework emphasizing the theological intellectualism of Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah. This study uses a literature review method with a historical textual approach to analyze the ideas of these two schools. The results show that the concept of God's personality, according to the Mu'tazilah, is formulated through the relationship between the Essence (Ijabiyah) and the inseparable attributes of God. Attributes such as Iradah (Will), Sama' (Hearing), Basr (Sight), and Kalam (Speech) are considered inherent to God's Essence. In contrast, the Asy'ariah does not separate God's attributes from His Essence, emphasizing that God does not consist of internal or external elements. Both schools share a common starting point in maintaining rationalism in monotheism, yet differ in their approaches to God's attributes. This article also highlights how both schools strive to distinguish God from the characteristics of created beings while maintaining a rational approach. This research contributes to academic discourse by enriching Islamic theological studies, particularly in understanding the role of rationalism in monotheism. It also provides an alternative perspective for rational theological understanding. Further research is recommended to explore the relevance of these concepts in contemporary theological discussions, including their connections to philosophy and interdisciplinary Islamic studies.

Abstract

This study focuses on the Sufi thoughts in responding to the ecological crisis faced by humanity. Their responses are reflected on primary texts such as Fusus al-Hikam and Futuhat al-Makiyyah by Ibn Arabi, as well as Islamic Cosmological Doctrines by Hossein Nasr. Secondary texts include the thoughts of scholars discussing similar themes. This research employs qualitative analysis with a hermeneutic approach to interpret these texts in the context of the ecological crisis. The findings reveal that Sufi philosophy, through the theories of microcosm and macrocosm, emanation, and illumination, offers a new profound paradigm for understanding the relationship between humans and nature. This philosophy emphasizes the importance of spiritual and cosmic harmony in addressing the ecological crisis. This study contributes to scientific knowledge by integrating Sufi philosophy and ecological studies, providing a new framework to foster ecological awareness based on spirituality. These findings are relevant to the development of environmental studies grounded in spiritual and cultural values.

Abstract

This paper observes the idea of Abdurrahman Wahid's Sufism. It is important to study Sufism in the reinforcement of dual morality in Indonesian Muslims. It is to complement the development of contemporary Sufism discourse in the archipelago as well. The research method used in this paper was a literature review. The data used in this paper were the works of Abdurrahman Wahid in the form of a collection of articles, bookkeeping of 'preface', and 'preface' which were scattered in several other people's books as well as other relevant writing sources. The data collected were then analyzed using a qualitative content analysis method, according to the topic of the writing. The results of research revealed that Abdurrahman Wahid's idea of Sufism contributed significantly to the realization of the basic values and teachings of Islam in the life of religion, society, nation, and state. It indicates that Abdurrahman Wahid has transformed the meaning of and actualized Sufism from and for Sufism. Love and compassion play a central role at the core of Sufism actively manifested in social life to fight for human values and principles. This research contributes to academic discourse by offering new perspectives on the integration of Sufism into modern social and political contexts. It highlights the relevance of Wahid's Sufism in addressing contemporary challenges such as interfaith relations, social justice, and national unity.

Abstract

This article examines the influence of differences of rawi stratification on hadith narration, using Ibn Khaldun's stratification theory as outlined in his book entitled Muqaddimah. This study employs library research with a content analysis approach, focusing on hadiths about al-Mahdi narrated through the paths of Abu al-Shiddiq (d. 108 H) and Abu Nadhrah (d. 103 H). The findings reveal that Qatadah, the principal student of Abu al-Shiddiq, did not receive the narration about al-Mahdi from his teacher but rather from Abu Nadhrah. Although the three rawis differ in the number of narrations—Qatadah (12,209 narrations), Abu al-Shiddiq (183 narrations), and Abu Nadhrah (1,181 narrations)—all are considered thiqah (trustworthy narrators). The study concludes that differences of stratification among the three narrators are not the reason why Qatadah did not narrate the al-Mahdi hadith from Abu al-Shiddiq. This research contributes to academic discourse by offering a new perspective on the application of Ibn Khaldun's stratification theory in the study of hadith narration. It also highlights that the number of narrations and stratification positions do not always determine specific narration paths. Future research is recommended to expand the scope of analysis to other rawis using a similar approach to gain deeper insights into the relationship between rawi stratification and hadith narration.

Abstract

Tariqa (Eng.: Order; Tariqa) is known as an organization focusing only on spiritual development. That is why Tariqa adherents are often trapped in rituals sometimes distancing them from the outlined Islamic Iman. This study aims to determine the extent to which the Tariqa can become a system of Iman formation. This research was conducted in one of the largest Tariqas in Pontianak, the Tariqa Haq Naqsyabandi headquartered at Perum IV Pontianak City. Based on the results of the research using a qualitative approach with phenomenological type, it was found that: 1) The Tariqa Haq Naqsyabandi has been carrying out Iman (faith)-building since the beginning of the congregation's declaration (Bai’at) of joining this Tariqa; 2) Follow-up coaching is carried out at certain times, such as Tawajjuhan, Special Teaching, Level Ups, and Incidental Teaching. This study contributes to the understanding of how Tariqa Haq Naqsyabandi systematically builds the faith of its congregation, showing that the faith-building system is not only effective but also adaptable to different contexts.

Abstract

Currently, some niqab wearers are actively expressing themselves on social media, and the niqab has become part of a fashion trend. The internet and social media enable niqab wearers to actively and freely engage in social interactions, especially on contemporary social media platforms. They differ from conventional niqab wearers, who are often depicted wearing dark-colored niqabs and utilizing online activities as an alternative means of communication due to restrictions based on their religious ideology. These new niqab wearers tend to appear in bright, fashionable colors and are active in both online and offline activities. This study employs critical discourse analysis to examine two aspects: firstly, the discourses shaping the moral and Islamic construction of women’s bodies in the Indonesian context; secondly, how the emergence of a new niqab trend relates to the discourse on women’s bodies. The findings reveal that the new niqab trend represents a shift in the meaning of the niqab from a moral identity to being associated with fashion expression now and individuality in the digital era. This research contributes to academic studies by offering a new perspective on the relationship between religion, fashion, and social media, while also enriching the discourse on Muslim women's bodies in the modern Indonesian context.

Abstract

Hadith as a source of law other than the Qur'an attracts a very large portion of attention among Muslims. This is because the hadith has several functions in the Qur'an: bayān tafsr, bayīān tasyrī', and bayān taukīd. Many scientific tools are needed before implementing them in daily life. The analysis of the authenticity of the hadith, both sanad and matan, is the first thing that must be conducted before understanding the contents. Yet, it does not mean that understanding the hadith is not important compared to determining the authenticity of the hadith. because the issue of the authenticity of the hadith has been carried out since the process of transmitting the hadith. It is different from the understanding of hadith having developed recently and continues to have dynamics. Hadith observers have offered many methods of understanding hadith, both textual and contextual. However, along with the development of science, the method is also developing, such as the use of various scientific approaches, including social sciences to study the meaning of hadith. This is like the method offered by Ali Mustafa Yaqub including a cultural, social and geographical approach. This paper attempted to analyze the practical steps of the hadith understanding method offered by Ali Mustafa Yaqub in his book al-Ṭuruq al-Ṣaḥīḥah Fī Fahmi al- Sunnah al-Nabawiyyah. This study contributes to, among others, identifying that the methods of understanding hadith proposed by Ali Mustafa Yaqub are divided into two main methods: Fahmu Lafḍi and Fahmu al-Ma’nawi.
