Abstract

The curriculum at SMPIQu Al-Bahjah Cirebon faces a challenge in integrating the formal, official curriculum with the non-formal pesantren (Islamic boarding school) curriculum. This disconnect has resulted in the pesantren curriculum becoming somewhat "hidden" or underrepresented. The core issue addressed in this research is how to design, implement, and evaluate the development of this hidden pesantren curriculum. Using a qualitative research method, the study draws from both primary and secondary data, collected through observation and interviews. The findings reveal a five-step approach to developing the hidden curriculum. Implementation is achieved through structured activities such as work meetings, scheduling academic activities, enhancing the management information system (SIM), improving teaching staff and student resources, strengthening students' morals, and increasing proficiency in foreign languages. The evaluation process includes supervision, regular meetings, audits, and reporting. The study concludes that effective curriculum development hinges on a morals and creed-based education, improved administrative and management systems, optimization of media as a development tool, and active participation in competitions and events. This research contributes to the formulation of strategies for developing the hidden pesantren curriculum, offering practical benefits for all stakeholders involved.

Abstract

YouTube has become a lucrative platform for content creators, fostering the rise of popular Muslim scholars with distinct specialties and audiences. This phenomenon has been exploited by creators who commodify religious lectures by framing them as debates, contributing to the growing polarization among Indonesian Muslims. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing the framing analysis model of Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki to examine how religious sentiments are constructed and commodified on YouTube. It further explores audience interpretations to assess the impact of such framing. The findings reveal that content creators manipulate frames through strategically designed thumbnails and titles as key syntactic elements, while the sequencing of video clips reinforces framing at the script, thematic, and rhetorical levels. Audience engagement, as reflected in comments, largely demonstrates support for the content creators and the religious figures portrayed as victors in these debates. The study concludes that the commodification of religious sentiments through framing significantly intensifies polarization within the Indonesian Muslim community, posing a considerable threat to social and religious diversity.

Abstract

The integration of religion and science has garnered significant attention, as evidenced by the contributions of prominent Muslim thinkers such as Naquib Al-Attas, Ismail Al Faruqi, Mehdi Golshani, Ziauddin Sardar, and Nidhal Guessoum. This study aims to compare the perspectives of Naquib Al-Attas and Nidhal Guessoum regarding the integration of religion and science, using a literature review with a comparative descriptive approach and content analysis techniques. The findings reveal that Naquib Al-Attas’s concept of integration emphasizes three key aspects: a paradigm shift from Westernization to Islamization, a focus on language, and fostering ethical-moral values through ta’dīb. In contrast, Nidhal Guessoum highlights three distinct elements: the non-conflictual nature of science and religion, a layered interpretation of the Qur'an, and a theistic-falsification principle. The study identifies common ground between the two thinkers, including critical analysis of the origins of science, layered identification, and the incorporation of religious values. However, their differences lie in Naquib’s critique of the emergence of science versus Nidhal’s critique of the Islamization model, Naquib’s language-based approach versus Nidhal’s multilevel Qur'anic interpretation, and Naquib’s emphasis on Islamic ethics-morals versus Nidhal’s integration of sacred texts and reason under a theistic framework. The study concludes that Muslims should Islamize Western science by embedding ethical-moral ta’dīb, facilitating a harmonious dialectic between religion and science, wherein religion provides foundational values and science incorporates theistic principles.

Abstract

Mental health issues in today’s world are a major concern that must be addressed. Tazkiyah al-nafs emerges as a significant answer to the problem in this context. Tazkiyah al-nafs is primarily concerned with purifying the soul, cleansing the heart of desire and greed, and bringing one closer to Allah. Abu Bakar Atjeh, a well-known Indonesian scholar, believes that tazkiyah al-nafs is one of the most effective medications for people suffering from mental health conditions. Hence, this article aims to explore the concept of tazkiyah al-nafs by Abu Bakar Atjeh and its relevance in addressing mental health problems. This study is library research with a qualitative approach. Data was obtained using documentation techniques, and the collected data was analyzed using descriptive analysis methods. The research concludes that there are two ways to achieve mental health through the tazkiyah al-nafs method, namely khalwah and żikr. The conclusion in this paper is that tazkiyah al-nafs has a positive and comprehensive impact because of its holistic and spiritual-based approach so that these concepts of khalwah and żikr in tazkiyah al-nafs can be applied to various mental health problems.

Abstract

Mononormativity widely embraced by societies, often leads to negative sentiment toward non-monogamous relationships. Polygamy, as a form of non-monogamy, challenges this norm, particularly when practiced consensually, revealing a divergence from assumptions that label such relationships as destructive. In Indonesia, where Islam predominates, polygamy is conditionally legitimate under religious law and mutual agreement. However, it frequently faces public criticism and rejection, especially on social media. Religious figures like Ustadz Hanan Attaki, who practice polygamy, often become targets of this negative sentiment, revealing the tension between cultural norms, religious legitimacy, and societal perceptions. This study aims to analyze how mononormativity functions as a form of knowledge-power in constructing negative sentiments towards polygamists, especially ustadz, on social media. Utilizing primary data from social media comments and secondary data from online media and supporting articles, the research employs an explanatory sequential mixed method, where quantitative data supports qualitative insights. Combining sentiment analysis using NVivo and Foucaldian discourse analysis, the paper uncovers how societal norms and power structures shape and reinforce negative sentiments towards polygamists. The quantitative data provides a broad understanding of public opinion, while the qualitative analysis delves deeper into the discourses that perpetuate mononormativity. Through this integration, the study highlights the significant influence of mononormative discourse in shaping societal attitudes and maintaining power dynamics that marginalize non-monogamous relationships.

Abstract

The Rohingya, a Muslim minority group in Myanmar, have long suffered systematic discrimination, persecution, and violence that has culminated since 2017. The Myanmar government refuses to grant citizenship to the Rohingya, considering them illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, even though they have lived in Myanmar for generations. To highlight the complex relationship between media, geopolitics, and public opinion formation, this research seeks to analyze potential biases and contrasting narratives between Western, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian media opinions on Rohingya Muslims. To examine the portrayal of the Rohingya as “refugees”, “victims of violence”, and “rejects”, this study used NVIVO 14 by analyzing 120 news stories, consisting of 40 stories from Western media (CNN and BBC News), 40 from Middle Eastern media (Al Jazeera and Alarabiya News), and 40 from Southeast Asian media (Kompas and The Star). The results showed that Western media tended to frame the Rohingya as victims of violence, Middle Eastern media highlighted the plight of refugees in some countries, while Southeast Asian media highlighted the theme of resistance to their arrival. The analysis also found that the media tended to use neutral sentiments, although bias was detected in certain narrative and framing choices. This research contributes to discourse studies by emphasising the importance of understanding framing biases in shaping public opinion and suggests further analysis that includes levels of semiotics and critical discourse to reveal the depth of media narratives on the Rohingya.

Abstract

The fight against terrorism is is complex and multifaceted. Many factors can contribute to support for terrorism, with individual characteristics playing a significant role. Among these characteristics, the process of moral reasoning, pecifically, consequentialist moral processing—greatly influences an individual's decision-making, including their potential support for terrorism. This study explores the relationship between consequentialist moral processing, radicalism, and support for terrorism. 390 respondents were included consisting of 318 male and 72 female, aged 18-45 years, from various religious organizations (Islam, Catholic, Christian, Hindu and Buddhis). The sampling process conducted by Purposive sampling. Measuring instruments used were the Consequentialist Moral Processing questionnaire and a questionnaire in support of terrorism. This study uses a mediation analysis. The results of this study indicate that radicalism plays an effective role as mediator between consequentialist moral processing and support for terrorism. This means that consequentialist moral processing will contribute to supporting terrorism if through radicalism as a mediator. The results of the research become a paradox that radicalism and support for terrorism not only apply to Islamic organizations but also apply to all religious organizations. The results of this study enlighten us on the psychological literature, especially in the case of terrorism.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the lives of retired women and technology are often overlooked. They are a group that is vulnerable to the digital divide. This study explores the digital technology asset into the everyday lives of retired women living in the Rewwin Residence Community in Waru, Sidoarjo, Indonesia. This study aims to understand how digital devices and platforms support and enhance spiritual and cultural practices in this community. This study uses qualitative methodologies with the approach used in ABCD/Asset Base Community Development to find and utilize their assets. The findings highlight the digital assets’ sense of asset ownership, physical, social, and human assets, and the wealth of religious and spiritual content. Understanding asset ownership has bridged and facilitated access to religious content, strengthened and fostered a sense of togetherness and belonging among their community, and offers insights into how digital practices can complement and enrich traditional cultural and spiritual practices in their everyday life stages. This study contributes to a broader understanding of contemporary Indonesian society’s relationship between assets, technology, aging, and cultural sustainability.
