Abstract

Ahmadiyya has taken refugee in the Transito Dormitory since the end of 2005 and 2010. They tried to return to their homes in West Lombok but drove out by the community. This article will discuss Ahmadiyya, who experienced persecution in Lombok, and the basis for the MUI to issue deviant fatwas against the Ahmadiyya Congregation in 1980 and 2005. The process of the persecution of the Ahmadiyya in Lombok and the influence of the Majelis Ulama Indonesia and Tuan Guru on society are revealed in this study. The theories of Louis Althusser about state ideological institutions, in this case, the Majelis Ulama Indonesia, and Johan Galtung's theory about direct violence perpetrated by the community and indirect violence through the SKB 3 Menteri (Joint Decree of Three Ministers) being operate in this study. The research uses in-depth interviews with Ahmadiyya members in the Mataram Transito Dormitory. This study finds that the MUI Fatwa serves as legitimacy for society in carrying out violence and persecution of the Lombok Ahmadiyya Congregation and the influence of Tuan Guru through their daily life and lectures at the mosque.

Abstract

This study aims to explain the symbolic interaction in traditional medicine of the Sungai Guntung community. The traditional treatment in question is the administration of salt acid. Giving salt acid from the patient to the shaman is still preserved and believed by the community as the key to treatment. The theory used to analyse is Herbert Blumer's Symbolic Interactionism. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The determination of informants was carried out by purposive sampling technique or method. Based on the results of this study, the Sungai Guntung Village community still practises traditional medicine. This research resulted in the finding that the administration of salt acid is a spiritual phenomenon where the illness comes from physical, psychological and magical sources. The meaning of tradition depends on social interaction, so the continuity of meaning is also very dependent on changes in social interaction. The symbolic interaction in this treatment is reflected in the symbol of bonding between the shaman and the patient, the symbol of the patient's trust in the shaman, the symbol of gratitude from the patient to the shaman, the symbol of the key to treatment, the symbol of the belief that illness and treatment are spiritual phenomena.

Abstract

The Lom Tribe is the oldest tribe in Bangka Belitung, commonly referred to as the Lom people. During the colonial administration, the Bangka Malays were divided according to their religion, namely the La Tribe for Malays who had embraced religion, and the Lom Tribe for Malays who did not yet receive a religion. This paper aims to reckon the efforts of fulfilling the rights of the Lom Tribe, focusing on two main questions: first, what is the strategy of the Lom Tribe to access public services, especially population administration, education, and marriage? Second, are there still discriminatory practices for the Indigenous People of the Lom Tribe in accessing public services? This study employs a qualitative approach with an ethnographic approach, which aims at revealing the socio-cultural meaning in a particular context. The results show that in accessing public services, indigenous peoples use an institutional approach, build networks with stakeholders at the local level, as well as through the Indonesian Supreme Council of Trustees (MLKI). Discriminatory practices are still found in accessing public services, both in population administration, education, and marriage services for the Lom Tribe. For this reason, the Constitutional Court Decision No. 97/PUU-XIV/2016 and Permendikbud 27/2016.

Abstract

Interdisciplinary studies demand an understanding of multiple disciplines across disciplines. In the social sciences discipline, the results of sociology research are growing rapidly and have formulated new theories that can be utilized in interdisciplinary studies. Among these is the theory of social conflict. The perspective of social conflict departs from the assumption that inequality exists in all societies. Social conflict theory focuses on various aspects of power status in social positions. Individual identification characteristics are viewed from ethnic or ethnic perspectives, gender, age, religion, expertise, and social status. This social conflict theory can be applied as a perspective in interdisciplinary Islamic studies, this is due to the aim of Islamic studies is to describe the relationship between Islam and various aspects of human life, explaining the spirit (ethos) of Islam in the form of moral and values within Islamic teaching. Thus, approaching Islam through the lens of social conflict theory within Islamic studies got it relevance as Islamic teaching responses to various new paradigms as a result of advances in science and technology and the emergence of new philosophies and ideologies as well as the relationship between Islam and the vision, mission, and goals of Islamic teachings.
