Abstract

Calung, Lengger, and Barongsai, abbreviated Calengsai, is a new-arising art appearing because of acculturation between communities, namely the Banyumas and Chinese people through adaptation. This adaptation is underpinned upon the teachings of each religion which teaches that every human being must be good to others. The aims of this study is to find the right solution to avoid the conflict and to analyse how culture can become the bonding element between religious communities This research was conducted in different cultural backgrounds and society that may elicit conflicts. There are several problems discussed in this research. First, how conflicts are resolved and how inter-religious relations are strengthened. Second, what the media is used to attach religious communities. To portray such issues, the writers conducted literary study, observation, and interviews. to analyse the data, the writers implemented the theory of cultural adaptation and cross-cultural communication. The result of this research is to provide an understanding that culture can strengthen the relationship between religious communities. To sum up, Calengsai has sociocultural values that arise as a result of cultural shifts in each society that can be used as an adhesive medium for inter-religious relations.

Abstract

Grounding on Ian Graeme Barbour’s (1923-2013) typology of relationships between science and religion, this article addresses the issue of the spiritual journey, with special reference to the discourse of stations (maqa>ma>t) and states (ah}wa>l), in the context of humanity study, that is, psychology of religion. According to Barbour, there are four types of relations between science and religion, namely conflict, independence, dialogue, and integration. Following the tendency of the third and the fourth relationships of science and religion, this study argues that there exists a melting point of spirituality, in this regard stations and states of spiritual journey, on the one hand, and psychology of religion, on the other. In this light, this article strengthens the illustrative studies on dialogical encounters between spirituality, in the field of mystical philosophy, and the psychology of religion, in the context of humanity studies.

Abstract

This study examines the Indian perspective on emotions, focusing on the concept of Gunas or Subjective Experiences. Indian Philosophies emphasize the transient nature of emotions and advocate for achieving emotional equilibrium through allegiance to a higher power and surrender. The study concludes that spirituality plays a crucial role in shaping individuals' emotional experiences, contributing to improved mental well-being and reduced narcissistic tendencies. Religious practices foster a sense of security and trust in a "superior being", while emotions involve the feelings experienced towards God or the Divine. Resilience, defined as the ability to adapt in the face of difficulties, is closely linked to these components. The hypothesis posits that an affinity towards the concept of God optimizes both emotions and resilience, fostering well-being across physical, psychological, emotional, and social domains. By investigating the interplay between emotions, religion, and resilience from an Indian perspective, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of their complex relationship and their impact on mental health. The utilization of library research allows for an in-depth exploration of relevant literature and philosophical texts. The insights derived from this research have the potential to inform mental health interventions and promote holistic well-being in diverse cultural contexts. By recognizing the significance of religious and spiritual factors in emotional experiences and resilience, practitioners can tailor interventions that address the specific needs of individuals within different cultural and religious frameworks, ultimately enhancing their overall mental well-being.

Abstract

This paper examines the methods of internalizing the value of moderation in Islamic education, specifically within the context of at-tawāsuṭ wal i’tidāl (moderation and justice) in schools, drawing on Thomas Lickona's character education theory. The research methodology employed in this study includes a literature review and a survey. Although the survey presents some numerical data, the overall study is qualitative. The findings show that the core value of moderation in the Nahdlatul Ulama is at-tawāsuṭ wal i’tidāl, which will spell out various values of moderation derivatives. The processes of internalizing such Islamic moderation in schools – in the perspective of Lickona- were done along three stages: 1) Knowing, conducted through TCL (Teacher-Centered Learning) strategy by applying CTL (Contextual Teaching and Learning) approach and group discussion method; 2) Feeling, achieved through strengthening intra classroom activities, editing, and habituating; and 3) Doing, which is more implemented in intra and extracurricular activities. This research offers insights into internalizing Islamic moderation in schools, drawing on the perspective of at-tawāsut wal i’tidal and Lickona's character education theory. It contributes to the formulation of a model approach that can be implemented by various educational institutions, particularly schools, to foster Islamic moderation among students.

Abstract

This paper deals with a symbolic interpretation of the structural position that the snake and the tree possess in the local worship of the zar spirit within the borders of Islamic Sudan. The paper at hand aims to study, via bibliographic research, how the snake Azrag Banda, a manifestation of zar, and his tree-abode are regarded as significant symbols in the Sudanese zar tumbura, a self-nominated Islamic practice and spirit-possession cult with therapeutic functions. The snake Azrag Banda and his tree play a special role in the life of the cult and are meaningful symbols due to the collective historical experience of the Sudani, the devotees of zar tumbura. As it will be shown, the main characteristic of the Sudani Self is a past of slavery and displacement and a present of living on the margins of Sudanese society. In this regard, the current article aims at indicating what the snake entity Azrag Banda and his tree-abode mean for the Sudani. Adopting an emic approach, the snake and the tree will be seen as traditional Sudanese earth symbols, which are considered able to offer protection, heal the historical stigma of slavery, help the subaltern establish their “roots” in the Sudanese ground, and thus upgrade the low social status of the Sudani. In this way, the latter is transformed into free men and genuine landowners.

Abstract

This article investigates the emergence of terrorism in Indonesia through the anomie sociological perspective. The data for this analysis was gathered from various sources, including documents of terrorist attacks in Indonesia from the internet, personal diaries, and interviews with terrorist prisoners. The anomie theory provides a means of analysis to illuminate the understanding of terrorism, its roots, and causes. From the anomie perspective, terrorism is not viewed as a savage group that allows the killing of innocent people nor a political party that wants to destroy and seize the secular government or Western countries. In the Indonesian context, terrorism is just seen as deviant groups or individuals resulted from global capitalism that destroys the equilibrium of the Muslim world. The anomie consists of two distinct forms: the terrorist attacks and the anomic interpretation of the Islamic holy text (Quran and Sunnah). Both conditions result in a threat to the government that they consider as infidel and aligned with the West. The anomie theory provides more promising remedies to abolish terrorism more permanently and to reduce the tensions between the government and the terrorists by proposing social integration and restoring equilibrium in the Muslim world, especially in Indonesia, as a focus for implementing these remedies.

Abstract

A conservative adherence to religious beliefs and fanaticism has the potential to result in a unilateral judgment toward other faiths. At the exoteric level, religions represent different ways of approaching the divine. However, when one sees this from an esoteric point of view, all these religions aim for one divinity. This esoteric perspective is in line with the idea of religious pluralism in the modern world. However, long before that, Ibn Arabi had already discussed this idea. Firstly, Ibn Arabi talked about his philosophy of divinity. God, on one hand, is One, unreachable, transcendent, but also as the resembling, close, immanent. From the immanent aspect, God then manifests and reveals Himself continuously, resulting in diverse beings, including religion. However, in this research, Ibn Arabi's ideas were found to be only ideological-apologetic. Therefore, the author collaborates them with Mukti Ali's ideas, which are modern and methodological, combining various approaches, both normative and scientific, in the study of religious moderation called scientific-cum-doctrinaire. The method used in this research is descriptive-collaborative. The scientific-cum-doctrinaire is used to investigate Islam and other religions, with the expectation that it will foster interfaith literacy, encourage inter-religious cooperation, and contribute to the promotion of religious moderation. In this light, the parallel between Mukti Ali and Ibn Arabi becomes apparent.

Abstract

Much research has been conducted on Sunni-Shia conflicts within the Muslim world. However, there is still limited research on integrating these two denominations. Conflict and integration, in theory, represent two distinct aspects of the same issue. This study aims to elucidate the process of Sunni-Shia integration in Indonesia and the factors contributing to it, employing a structural-functionalist perspective. Additionally, it seeks to assess the potential for such integration. Through intensive library research on offline and online sources, the article uncovers three forms of Sunni-Shia integration: peaceful coexistence, accommodation, and cooperation. These outcomes stem from six interrelated factors: inclusive theology, the role of moderate actors, collective ritual practice, ‘Alid piety, friendship and kinship, and social activity. These factors play important roles in shaping the prospects of Sunni-Shia integration in Indonesia. While the inclusive theology, as the first factor, is normative and may produce normative integration aligned with the prevailing norms, the others are more functional and may elicit functional integration emerging from the functions in the society.

Abstract

Lack of women participation in leadership positions has remained central in efforts to create an all-inclusive men-women sensitive society. Biblically, there is a resilient indication of God’s intention for women’s involvement in leadership positions. This study discusses biblical evidence supporting women's full participation in leadership and decision-making activities. The theoretical review was anchored on the tripartite approach of transformation theory of leadership, patriarchy, and liberal feminism. Methodologically, the study relied solely on secondary data collection, applying content and documentary analysis. The findings of the study showed that there are female Bible characters who demonstrated faith and exerted influence on society, successfully fulfilling their roles according to Biblical teaching. Further findings indicated that even in the ministry of Jesus Christ, women played significant roles and contributed to fulfilling his earthly mission. One of the study's recommendations was to implement affirmative action (also known as positive discrimination) as a strategy to overcome structural obstructions in male-biased institutions. This should be adopted by political parties, economic, religious, and social institutions, as well as bureaucracies.

Abstract

This paper explores al-Faruqi's thoughts on the Islamization of knowledge and evaluates the significance of his ideas in the Islamic educational context. The study employs a comprehensive review of al-Faruqi's writings and contributions to the discourse on the related concept. To establish a comprehensive understanding, the discussion begins with the history of how the ideas on the Islamization of knowledge emerged. Subsequently, it explains al-Faruqi’s concept of Islamization of knowledge, suggesting that all disciplines comprising the humanities, the social, and the natural sciences must be Islamic-based and consistent with Islamic objectives. Furthermore, this paper delves into solving the education problem and the principles of the Islamization of knowledge by discussing the work plans employed. His most remarkable work plan is creating a university textbook tailored to the discipline, incorporating new insight on the meaning of Islam and innovative approaches to realizing that meaning. Fundamentally, the research highlights how al-Faruqi has greatly influenced the development of Islamic education by integrating Islamic principles into knowledge
