Abstract

This study examines how the development of Islamic religious traditions contributes to spirituality and social harmony, with a focus on the legacy of KH. Noer Alie in Bekasi, Indonesia. Previous research has examined Islamic ritual practices and community cohesion. This study aims to analyze the role of religious traditions in nurturing individual and communal spirituality, evaluate their contribution to social harmony, and clarify their implications for Islamic religious education and community-based da'wah management. A convergent mixed-methods design was used, combining survey data with interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis and integrated to generate shared interpretations. The findings indicate that the development of religious traditions inspired by Noer Alie, particularly the haul (ḥaul), maulid (mawlīd), tahlil (tahlil), the Nisfu Sha'ban (Middle-Month of Sha'ban) celebration, and the ketupat giving, strengthens spirituality and social harmony by instilling Islamic ethical values ​​into communal rituals and intergenerational institutional practices. This study concludes that this tradition-based da'wah model offers a theoretically grounded and implementable framework for Islamic education, Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), majelis taklim (Islamic study groups), and policies aimed at building social cohesion.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the urgency of reorienting the Multicultural Education curriculum in Indonesia in response to global education dynamics, including curriculum decolonization and the strengthening of global citizenship. The changing paradigm of global education demands that the national education system not only emphasize knowledge transfer but also the formation of diversity awareness, social justice, and cultural identity in the context of an increasingly pluralistic society. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method and a library research approach to analyze national and international literature on the multicultural curriculum, educational globalization, and the management of Islamic education. The analysis is conducted by placing the perspective of Islamic Education Management as a conceptual framework in understanding the dynamics of curriculum change. The results show that the implementation of multicultural education in Indonesia still tends to be normative and ceremonial, limited to strengthening the value of tolerance without being followed by a more transformative reconstruction of the curriculum, learning strategies, or institutional governance. As a result, multicultural education has not fully functioned as a strategic instrument in building students' global competencies. This study introduces a novel conceptual framework for Integrative Multicultural Curriculum Reorientation that combines the perspective of global citizenship with the value of religious moderation (wasatiyah) in the governance of the Islamic education curriculum. This model emphasizes integrating diversity values, religious identity, and global competency through a systemic approach to curriculum management. Thus, reorienting the multicultural curriculum not only strengthens social cohesion in a pluralistic society but also serves as a crucial strategy for Islamic educational institutions to produce graduates who are adaptive to global challenges and firmly rooted in Islamic values.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of information technology has positively influenced various aspects of society, including the indigenous community of Cireundeu Village in Cimahi City, West Java. The community has adopted digital marketing, particularly through Instagram, as part of the transformation of the indigenous village into a cultural tourism destination and an active participant in regional tourism development. This study focuses on community-based tourism in the Cireundeu Indigenous Village, emphasizing the role of digital marketing in developing cultural tourism while fostering an open and sustainable tourism ecosystem. The objectives of this study are threefold: (1) to examine the role of Instagram as a digital marketing platform in the development of cultural tourism in the Cireundeu Indigenous Village; (2) to identify the commodification of cultural tourism that has the potential to increase the community's economic income; and (3) to analyze the management of digital marketing practices implemented within the village. This research employs a qualitative case study approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation studies. The findings indicate that Instagram-based digital marketing has significantly contributed to the development of cultural tourism in the Cireundeu Indigenous Village and has positively impacted the economic growth of the surrounding community. However, the management of digital marketing activities has not yet reached its optimal level. Therefore, the community should strengthen its digital marketing strategies by expanding its promotional activities beyond Instagram to other social media platforms, particularly TikTok. Furthermore, greater involvement of visitors in sharing their travel experiences is essential to broaden promotional reach and attract more diverse tourist segments.

Abstract

This study highlights tenure conflicts occurring in the Pangalengan coffee plantation area, Bandung Regency, focusing on the ambiguous status of land formerly under HGU (Land Use Rights) or currently managed by PTPN VIII, which has become a source of competing claims and potential socio-agrarian conflicts. Through a socio-legal approach and an analysis of legal pluralism, this study reveals the gap between the top-down normative discourse on agrarian reform and the repressive criminal law practices on the ground. Local farming communities, with limited access to capital, have established informal legal claims based on the history of land cultivation, the productive use of coffee plants, the principle of the social function of land as stipulated in the 1960 Land Law (UUPA), and the hope for land redistribution through the Presidential Regulation on Agrarian Reform. On the other hand, state-owned corporations and law enforcement agencies enforce a formal, positivist-legalistic legal framework to protect assets through legal notices and criminalization under Article 385 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) or sector-specific criminal regulations for plantations. Field data and in-depth interviews reveal an agrarian paradox: the land redistribution program through TORA is hampered by convoluted and sluggish bureaucracy, while the enforcement of criminal law by corporations proceeds swiftly, undermining the solidarity of grassroots movements. The arrests of farmers’ union activists not only cause psychological trauma, poverty, and damage to sustainable communal agricultural systems, but also reinforce the large-scale land monopoly held by a small elite across generations. The state must shift away from a normative security approach and redefine agrarian reform as a model for a more equitable distribution of the benefits of natural resources in order to prevent the escalation of ecological and social crises in the future.

Abstract

This research is based on the reality that divorce in Muslim families often raises issues in childcare, particularly regarding the division of responsibilities between parents after the divorce. From an Islamic perspective, this issue can be resolved by consulting Fiqh al-Usrah, which provides guidance on the rights and obligations of parents towards their children, particularly in the context of divorce. This research aims to analyze how parental responsibilities for childcare are divided after divorce, based on the principles of Fiqh al-Usrah, and how these principles are applied in the daily lives of Muslim families. The method used is a literature review with a normative approach, analyzing classical and contemporary fiqh texts on divorce, child custody, and the division of parental responsibilities. In addition, this research also explores the application of these principles through case studies in society. The results show that Fiqh al-Usrah provides a clear legal basis for the division of parental responsibilities, with child custody usually given to the mother, while the father remains obligated to provide child support and education. This research also found variations in the application of this principle in society, depending on local interpretations of Islamic law and existing social practices.

Abstract

Strengthening the Economic Independence of Islamic boarding schools is a strategic agenda in developing a community-based sharia economy. Although many institutions possess superior business units, their management remains partial, unstructured, and unintegrated within a systematic framework. This condition prevents the Silsilat al-Qīmah (value chain) of pesantren businesses—from production and quality control to distribution—from achieving optimal economic and social value. Therefore, this article aims to formulate an Islamic Boarding School Business Model based on Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah through a combined approach of Silsilat al-Qīmah and Khalq al-Qīmah al-Musytarakah (Creating Shared Value). Using a qualitative field study method across several schools, data was gathered via in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed thematically by integrating sharia principles as a normative foundation alongside business management instruments. The results show that strengthening the pesantren business model requires institutional consolidation, managerial capacity building, and value chain integration oriented toward distribution fairness, product quality, and sustainability. The Khalq al-Qīmah al-Musytarakah approach emphasizes that economic activities must not only increase institutional income but also empower students and the surrounding community to achieve collective benefits. Ultimately, this article contributes theoretically by offering a conceptual framework for an Islamic Boarding School Business Model based on Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah that contextually connects Islamic normative values with practical business management. Practically, it serves as a strategic reference for building a just, resilient, and sustainable pesantren economy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze women’s empowerment through religious education based on local wisdom in majelis taklim, a form of nonformal Islamic education, thereby enhancing women’s religious, social, and cultural capacities within the community. Majelis taklim functions not only as a venue for religious learning but also as a space for social transformation of women through the internalization of Islamic values and local cultural norms prevalent in society. The research employs a qualitative ethnopedagogical approach to understand the learning processes, cultural values, and religious education practices within majelis taklim activities. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving administrators, female religious teachers (ustazah), and female members of the majelis taklim. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and thematic conclusion drawing. The results indicate that local-wisdom-based religious education in majelis taklim plays a crucial role in women’s empowerment, particularly in enhancing religious understanding, strengthening religious character, fostering social solidarity, and developing women’s capacity to fulfill social and familial roles. Local values such as gotong royong (mutual cooperation), deliberation, community religious traditions, and mutual respect are integrated into the learning process, creating a contextual and easily accepted educational model for participants. Furthermore, majelis taklim serves as a medium for reinforcing Muslim women’s identity, enabling them to adapt to social changes without abandoning cultural values or Islamic teachings. The study concludes that local-wisdom-based religious education in majelis taklim represents an effective model of women’s empowerment, fostering sustained religious, social, and cultural awareness in the community.

Abstract

This study examines the keris as a cultural entity that reflects the harmonious relationship among humans, nature, and God from a Javanese cosmological perspective. Through a hermeneutic qualitative approach based on literature review, this study analyzes the keris as Mustikaning Eling, an artifact that functions as an existential reminder of humankind's divine origins. The results of the discussion show that the process of making a keris involves not only the technical skills of the craftsman, but also spiritual practices, asceticism, and inner communication, thus giving birth to a "sacred power" or sipat kandel which is believed to bring protection, authority, and legitimacy of power. Historically, the existence of the keris is closely related to the Javanese political power structure, especially in the palace environment which is the center of cultural reproduction and symbolic authority. The keris is not only a personal heirloom, but an ideological manifestation that confirms the hegemony of the king as God's representative on earth. Although modernization and secularization have permeated various aspects of life, the keris remains an important part of the collective memory of Javanese society, even undergoing reactualization within the context of national identity and cultural heritage. In conclusion, the keris is a holistic representation of spiritual, social, and political values, as well as a bridge between the past and the present. This research confirms that understanding the keris means understanding the Javanese perspective on power, inner consciousness, and cosmic balance.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how the Bēqēn ritual can become a mechanism for community formation and a medium for social integration in the Pene Lando indigenous community on Lombok Island. The focus of this study is to see how the Bēqēn ritual creates a space that allows for the suspension of social structures and differentiation, thereby encouraging the formation of egalitarian relations and strengthening solidarity and social cohesion among community members. This study uses qualitative methods with ethnographic and sociological approaches. Data collection techniques in this study use interview, observation, and document techniques. The data obtained are then analyzed using Victor Turner's theoretical framework, particularly the concepts of liminality and community, as well as Emile Durkheim's collective consciousness. Theoretically, this study emphasizes the relevance of ritual as a mechanism for community formation and social integration. The results show that the Bēqēn ritual functions as an arena for the reproduction of collective values that strengthen the social bonds of the community. Practically, this study has implications for efforts to maintain resilience and strengthen social harmony through local traditions. The originality of this research lies in its comprehensive analysis of the Bēqēn ritual as a local traditional practice positioned not only as a religious expression but also as an active social mechanism in shaping community and social integration. The value of this research lies in its function, namely enriching academic discourse on the existence of ritual in maintaining sustainable relations and social cohesion for local communities.

Abstract

Marriage contract services in Indonesia face the challenge of adapting to the development of digital technology, where regulations still require the ijab-qabul to take place in one physical location even though the public's needs indicate the urgency of flexible implementation. This study aims to analyze Wahbah Al-Zuhayli's thoughts on sighat and marriage contract assemblies and contextualize them as a basis for reforming marriage contract services in Indonesia. Using qualitative methods with normative-juridical and philosophical approaches, this study analyzes the work of Al-Fiqh al-Islāmī wa Adillatuhu and Indonesian marriage regulations through content analysis and comparative techniques. The results show that Al-Zuhayli's thoughts on the assembly as a communicative unit—not a physical one—provide theological legitimacy for long-distance marriage contracts via communication technology. Contextualizing his thoughts offers solutions for regulatory reform through the implementation of electronic signatures, the adoption of sacred digital implementation protocols, the addition of a proxy column to marriage certificates, and the regulation of wakalah and murasalah mechanisms in the technical instructions of PMA 30/2024.
