Abstract

The decline in student character requires an optimal solution. Strengthening the character of students is carried out in various ways, one of which is the independent curriculum innovation and 5PPRA. Madrasas try to instill various good characters that can become provisions for life in the future. This research aims to analyze the implementation of P5PPRA, the effectiveness of implementing P5PPRA, and the obstacles and solutions in the process of strengthening character with P5PPRA. This research is a critical literature review reviewing 25 articles from 2019 to 2024 and focuses on research progress regarding the independent curriculum and P5PPRA. The formulation and findings of this research are that the implementation of P5PPRA is carried out with maximum preparation and implementation, instilling character according to needs, and integration of intracurricular, extracurricular, and co-curricular, and innovative design. The effectiveness of implementing P5PPRA has succeeded in instilling religious and social character, increasing creativity and learning outcomes. Barriers to implementing P5PPRA include a lack of teacher and madrasah readiness, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, and equitable distribution of education. The implications of this research show that innovation in strengthening character with P5PPRA must be accompanied by teacher and madrasah readiness and completeness of infrastructure. Full involvement in the three main points of character education, namely between family, school, and community, is recommended as a real effort to instill character values in the nation's future generations.

Abstract

The government is currently expanding its religious moderation program as a response and effort to minimize the problem of extremism and exclusivism. Ahmadiyya and Shi'a are two secs that often get discrimination from various parties, even from within the religious community itself. The implementation of religious moderation is apparently only felt by some religious groups in Indonesia. The ambiguity of this phenomenon undermines the assumption that the State prioritizes tolerant and moderate practices towards various religious groups; in fact, the application of moderation does not apply to different sect groups even though they adhere to the same religion. This study aims to analyze the ambiguity of implementing religious moderation on the Ahmadiyya and Shi'a sect groups in Indonesia. This research uses qualitative methods and literature studies as additional references. The informants in this research are representatives of young people from Jamaah Ahmadiyah Indonesia (JAI) and Ahlul Bait Indonesia (ABI). Data collection used observation, interview, and library research from journal articles, books, and information from the internet as secondary sources. The results of this study conclude that the ambiguity of the application of religious moderation in Indonesia is still not fully felt by minority sect groups such as Ahmadiyya and Shi’a. The majority of Muslims, especially those of the Sunni faith, show greater tolerance and moderation towards followers of other religions. Consequently, the idea of religious moderation is only fully practiced for those who belong to different religions.

Abstract

Pada pemilu 2019 lalu, politisasi agama masih terjadi dalam persaingan politik antara kedua pasangan calon presiden dan wakil presiden, mengakibatkan indeks kerukunan umat beragama Nasional mengalami penurunan drastis pada tahun 2020 pasca pemilihan umum (Indeks KUB 2017-2021). Dalam menghadapi pemilihan umum yang dijadwalkan pada tahun 2024 mendatang, terdapat berbagai tantangan dan risiko yang akan dihadapi, salah satunya ialah bahaya potensial dari polarisasi dan terjadinya friksi di dalam masyarakat yang muncul akibat politisasi agama, oleh sebab itu pemerintah selaku penyelenggara Negara memegang peranan penting dalam melakukan upaya pereventif agar mencegah terjadinya politik identitas kembali terjadi pada pemilu 2024 mendatang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kebijakan yang ditetapkan dan diterapkan oleh pemerintah guna mencegah politisasi agama dalam menyongsong pemilihan umum tahun 2024 di Indonesia.  Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian kepustakaan (Library research). Hasil penelitian ini mengungkap adanya penurunan indeks kerukunan umat beragama pada tahun 2020 pasca pemilu 2019, dan temuan lainnya mengungkap bahwa kebijakan pemerintah berupa regulasi sebenarnya sudah mengatur pelarangan terhadap diskriminasi terkait SARA. Namun, belum ada aturan yang mengatur secara eksplisit dan konkrit pelarangan terhadap tindak politisasi agama.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Wilayatul Hisbah in enforcing sharia law in Aceh and the challenges it faces in the modern era. Wilayatul Hisbah is an institution responsible for enforcing sharia law and ensuring community compliance with Islamic rules. Amidst rapid technological advances and social change, this institution faces new challenges in maintaining its relevance and effectiveness. This study uses a qualitative approach with field study methods that include observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques used include data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that Wilayatul Hisbah carries out various activities such as socialization, raids, patrols, and advocacy to address violations of sharia law. However, this institution faces challenges in the form of the influence of modernization, limited resources, and community resistance. Supporting factors include cooperation with other institutions and support from community leaders while inhibiting factors include lack of human resources, facilities and infrastructure, and inconsistent community support. This study recommends increasing institutional capacity and more effective socialization so that Wilayatul Hisbah can adapt to social dynamics and remain relevant in enforcing sharia law in the modern era.

This qualitative research uses data analysis techniques: data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. Both manuscript does not directly discuss about the concept of leadership and dismantle patriarchy but is relevantly integrated into praxis progressive women's empowerment based on a more inclusive interpretation of customs and openness to the potential of Balinese women to become leaders based on The five loyalties Hinduism that consist of Loyalty to conscience (Padma Hardhaya), Loyalty to conscience (Satya Wacana), Loyalty to promises (Satya Semaya), Loyalty to people (Satya Mitra), and loyalty to responsibility/trust (Satya Laksana).

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi dinamika pemenuhan hak kebebasan beragama dan berkeyakinan di Indonesia, dengan fokus pada regulasi dan implementasi pendirian rumah ibadah sesuai Peraturan Bersama Menteri Agama dan Menteri Dalam Negeri Nomor 9 dan 8 Tahun 2006. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kualitatif melalui studi pustaka untuk menganalisis regulasi, tantangan, dan implementasi pendirian rumah ibadah. Hak kebebasan beragama diatur dalam UUD 1945, termasuk Pasal 28E dan Pasal 29, serta UU No. 39 Tahun 1999 tentang HAM. Selain itu, hak ini juga dijamin oleh instrumen HAM internasional seperti Kovenan Internasional tentang Hak Sipil dan Politik. Pendirian rumah ibadah merupakan bagian dari hak tersebut, namun masyarakat menghadapi berbagai tantangan, seperti kebijakan diskriminatif, kurangnya dukungan keamanan dari kepolisian, tindakan pembiaran oleh negara, segregasi sosial, dan meningkatnya intoleransi. Masalah lain mencakup kesulitan dalam memenuhi persyaratan izin pendirian rumah ibadah yang diatur dalam Pasal 14 ayat (2) Peraturan Bersama tersebut. Persyaratan seperti dukungan masyarakat dan rekomendasi dari FKUB sering kali menjadi hambatan, terutama di daerah dengan tingkat toleransi rendah. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa regulasi yang ada tidak selalu menjamin keamanan dan dapat memperburuk diskriminasi terhadap kelompok minoritas dalam mendirikan rumah ibadah.
