Abstract

For the Bugis people in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) is a religious practice that illustrates a balance between practicing Islamic teachings and preserving local culture. This article explores the construction of meaning in hajj practices among Bugis women through various rituals and attributes, including wearing hajj attire. Data were collected through fieldwork in Bone District, South Sulawesi in which we conducted interviews with Bugis women of different ages, levels of education, and social classes who had made the pilgrimage. Through a phenomenological approach, we found that the practice of Bugis hajj rituals, such as mappatoppo, is common among all Bugis women across different groups. However, the hajj attire varies and can be categorized into traditional, modern, and moderate. The variations are influenced by the level of education, access to information and technology, social status, knowledge of the Islamic religion, occupation, kinship and association, and generational groups. We argued hajj attire carries different functions for different Bugis women, i.e., social control, traditional identity, representation of past political memory, social status and legitimacy, and markers of exclusivity. This study contributes to the global talk about the mix between religious and cultural expression by showing a complex continuity and changes of the expression amid the modernization the Bugis people experience.

Abstract

Anti-feminism is a movement that is more opposed to reaffirming, maintaining, and increasing the subordination of women by patriarchal forces. For this movement, feminist thinking can lead to deviant actions because these thoughts are not in accordance with religious teachings. The group then uses digital media channels to create anti-feminism narratives which are published on Islamic faith-based information websites. The purpose of this study is to reveal how the representation of feminism in Islami.co media acts as a counter-narrative against anti-feminism discourse echoed by other Islamic groups. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The data collection technique was a literature study of documents from various references and the results of media analysis of Islami.co. The data analysis method used is the framing analysis model of William Gamson and Andre Modgliani which is elaborated with the perspective of Representation Theory by Stuart Hall. The result of the study shows that Islami.co is a digital media counter-narratives against anti-feminist discourse. The representation of feminism in this media is interpreted as part of the struggle of Islam in forming the spirit of justice for all mankind. Islami.co packs facts and clarifies the counter-narrative of anti-feminism discourse through authentic sources such as the Qur’an and hadith as well as various arguments that rely on empirical data. This effort is not just for creating justice and equality, but also as a form of obedience to what is commanded by Islam.

Abstract

This paper delves into the exploration of economic principles within Qur’anic exegesis. The focus centers on the elucidation of economic equity by, Muhammad Amin al-Shinqiti, as expounded in his tafsir “Adwa’ al-Bayan fī Idah al-Qur’an bi al-Qur’an.” A key emphasis is placed on al-Shinqiti’s comprehensive analysis of economic equity within Surah al-Hasyr [59]: 7. Additionally, al-Shinqiti contextualizes the verse to argue that the booty (al-fay’), as mentioned in the verse, should be reclaimed and channeled into state revenues. Employing Hassan Hanafi’s social hermeneutics framework, this article draws the conclusion that al-Shinqiti critically evaluates both capitalist and socialist economic theories. Al-Shinqiti, through his interpretation, asserts that the fundamental essence of the verse is the eradication of favoritism, thus propelling the attainment of economic equity. Al-Shinqiti distinguishes economic equality from economic equity, contending that the former is an unattainable objective. Furthermore, he advocates for an Islamic economic system characterized by a limited free economy, impartial distribution of state resources, and a focus on the comprehensive welfare of society. This exploration sheds light on Al-Shinqiti’s nuanced perspective on economic principles and provides valuable insights into the Islamic economic framework.

Abstract

Catcalling is a form of sexual harassment involving the use of indecent language towards victims, typically women. While it is commonly assumed that catcalling targets female victims based on the exposure of certain body parts, it is noteworthy that women, even those who wear modest clothing or even a niqab, also experience catcalling. This article delves into the phenomenon of catcalling as experienced by niqabi. Data for this study were generated through field research conducted in Surakarta, utilizing in-depth interviews with ten niqabis of various ages and educational backgrounds. Employing a phenomenological approach and applying Blumer's theory of symbolic interactionism, the study reveals diverse causes, forms, and impacts of catcalling on women who wear the niqab. Despite facing catcalling, these niqabis employ both active and passive strategies to protect themselves. This research sheds light on the multifaceted aspects of catcalling experienced by women who choose to wear the niqab. This article contributes to the discussion on the issue of sexual harassment against women and the study of the dynamics of niqabi women.

Abstract

This article aims to shed light on the roots of ex-jihadists' thinking and activities following their exit from the de-radicalisation programme. It seeks to continue the discussion on radicalism and de-radicalisation in Indonesia. Based on field data and interviews with several informants in Surakarta, this article explains that former jihadists have different ideological genealogies. However, after their departure from these groups and activities, there are similarities in terms of survival strategies. The results of this study also show that almost all of them experienced obstacles when they first returned to normal society. But now they have managed to carry out their activities as traders and entrepreneurs in their own way. Some of them are even able to create associations that voice the importance of upholding the spirit of nationalism and rejecting acts of terror. Applying Weber's theory of individual action, this article also shows a shift in rational action choices that are intertwined with quite complex interests.

Abstract

The development of social interaction within Sufi Order (tarekat) offers a unique pathway to cultivate social piety in society. Rooted in the spiritual teachings and practices of the tarekat, this approach plays a pivotal role in enhancing emotional and spiritual intelligence (ESQ) among its members. This qualitative study, based on an extensive review of relevant literature, seeks to explore how the tarekat contributes to the growth of ESQ and its broader implications for fostering social piety. The findings reveal that the principles of maqāmat and aḥwal, central to tarekat teachings, significantly enhance both emotional and spiritual intelligence. This, in turn, encourages social piety, as demonstrated through the noble character and community-oriented actions of tarekat members. The research underscores the strong connection between tarekat practices and the development of ESQ, showing how this spiritual tradition serves as a vital religious social movement—one that not only deepens inner spiritual growth but also actively promotes social responsibility and engagement.

Abstract

This article examines the representation of Islam in Indonesian screen culture, focusing on the genre of film Islami. It discusses the dominant portrayal of muslims piety and modernity in these films and explores the smaller number of films that depict pesantren culture, a manifestation of traditional Islam. The article analyzes the Hati Suhita film as a significant shift in representing a solid traditional Islam rooted in history, culture, and the modern values to shape religiosity. It highlights the film's exploration of a love triangle within an arranged marriage in a non-cliché manner through strength and resilience, grounded on Javanese philosophy and sufism, while promoting a gender justice perspective. It also discusses the film's impact on the pesantren community, and its role in becoming a convergence point between pesantren and screen culture, two domains that have been considered distant from each other. This article also observes that the success of this film is the result of a long endeavor to negotiate pesantren with popular culture. Overall, the article contributes to the ongoing discourse on the representation of Islam in Indonesian screen culture, and the intersection of tradition, modernity, and religion.
