Abstract

This study examines the evolving dynamics of Salafi preaching, focusing on how humor has been integrated into da’wah through social media platforms. Using netnography as a methodology, the research investigates the humorous style of Shaykh Assim al-Hakeem, whose global popularity exemplifies a shift from traditional, rigid Salafi approaches to more dynamic, engaging, and relatable methods. By analyzing content from platforms like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook, the study highlights how humor facilitates broader audience engagement and fosters “mediated intimacy” with followers. This approach transcends sectarian boundaries, attracting both Muslim and non-Muslim audiences while reshaping public perceptions of Salafi identity. However, critiques persist, as some view this adaptation as masking the doctrinal rigidity and conservative underpinnings of Salafi ideology. The findings contribute to discussions on the intersection of digital media, religious authority, and identity in the contemporary Islamic world, emphasizing how Salafism negotiates the challenges and opportunities of the digital age to maintain relevance in diverse socio-political contexts.

Abstract

This study analyzes perspective of K.H. Ahmad Baha’udin Nursalim, known as Gus Baha’, on the Wahdatul Wujud teachings of Siti Jenar, focusing on the limitation of its dissemination to the general public. Gus Baha emphasizes that while the teachings are not fundamentally erroneous, they are highly susceptible to misinterpretation, potentially leading to religious deviations such as neglecting Sharia and fostering absolute truth claims that cause social division. Aligning with the Walisongo’s stance, he argues that advanced Sufi teachings should be studied only by intellectuals or those with sufficient spiritual capacity to prevent confusion. Using a qualitative descriptive method and literature review, the study collects data from Gus Baha’s sermons, writings, and historical analyses of Walisongo and Siti Jenar. The analysis explores the Wahdatul Wujud concept within Sufi thought and its relevance in Indonesian Islam. Findings reveal that Gus Baha’s moderate approach seeks to balance Sharia and spiritual essence, ensuring Sufism remains beneficial without compromising faith. Therefore, a correct understanding of Wahdatul Wujud can serve as a spiritual foundation for a harmonious and devout society without neglecting Islamic law.

Abstract

This article discusses the death traditions in the Islam Masade community in Sangihe, North Sulawesi, known as Piạ Susa. The study is based on the hybrid and syncretic religious practices of the community. The blending of Islamic elements, local beliefs, and Christianity has shaped the religious beliefs and traditions of Islam Masade into something unique and distinctive, including the Piạ Susa tradition. This research uses an ethnographic method to provide a clear depiction of the Piạ Susa tradition. The researchers engaged directly with the Islam Masade followers in Sangihe and relied on key figures within the community as research subjects. The study reveals that the Piạ Susa tradition is significantly influenced by Islamic teachings, mixed with various local elements, resulting in a hybrid tradition. From death announcements, funerals, prayers, to post-burial rituals, Islamic practices are infused with local nuances. In this perspective, Islam Masade can be seen as a localized expression of Islam in Sangihe or as a form of cultural dissemination from pure Islam. Besides serving as a tribute to the deceased, Piạ Susa also represents a sacred “life transition” process. Piạ Susa further serves as a means for the Islam Masade community to strengthen social solidarity, affirm identity, and maintain the existence of Islam Masade amidst dominant cultural influences.

Abstract

This study explores the evolving perceptions of hijab use in the Islamic campus environment, particularly at UIN Mataram, through a perceptual review of the legacy and negation of hijab among students. The study employs a mixed-method approach involving surveys and semi-structured interviews with 90 students to understand the factors influencing changes in hijab perceptions. The findings reveal a complex interaction between social, cultural, and religious dynamics, showing how gender roles, peer influence, and societal trends have contributed to the shifting views on hijab use. Additionally, the research highlights the divergence between female and male students’ perspectives on hijab, with a noticeable generational gap regarding its symbolic meaning. These results offer valuable insights for understanding the contemporary issues surrounding religious identity in higher education institutions, especially in the context of Islamic values and practices. The findings can inform policy-making and foster inclusive approaches to managing diversity in Islamic campuses.

Abstract

This study examines the shifting orientation of Integrated Islamic Schools (Sekolah Islam Terpadu, SIT) from a mission of da’wa (Islamic propagation) toward a strategy of capital accumulation. The expansion of SIT reflects the emergence of a new Muslim middle class that seeks to express religious identity while simultaneously displaying status, class position, and social taste as modern Muslims. This study is based on field research that focuses on religious commodification, stakeholder motivations, consumer rationales for identity consolidation, and the dynamic interactions of Indonesian middle-class Muslims, as well as their implications for social cohesion. Employing on Pierre Bourdieu’s framework of economic, social, and cultural capital, this study demonstrates how SITs, initially established as Islamic educational institutions, have gradually adopted economic strategies to ensure institutional sustainability. Furthermore, this study shows how SITs position themselves as exclusive, modern, and market-oriented Islamic schools, primarily targeting urban middle-class Muslim consumers. This form of commodification reflects a growing demand for religiously infused education as both a means of social mobility and a strategy for preserving religious identity. More broadly, this phenomenon can be linked to Islamic revivalism as a response to modernity and secularization, illustrating how SITs function simultaneously as vehicles for religious reaffirmation and economic expansion.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the ethical challenges of digital communication in Islam as encountered in the phenomenon of hijabsters on social media, and to offer solutions to the emerging issues. Employing a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, the study is supported by non-participant digital observation and qualitative content analysis. Data were collected through observations of hijabsters posts on Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter), which were then categorized based on recurring themes, such as clothing style, messages in captions, use of Islamic symbols, and public responses in the comments section. The findings reveal that the hijabsters phenomenon raises several ethical concerns, including violations of modesty norms, the commodification of Islamic symbols, and covert exhibitionism in digital spaces. The diverse audience responses ranging from praise to sharp criticism reflect a shifting boundary of norms and evolving public interpretations of Muslim female identity. This study highlights the urgent need for clearer regulations regarding religious content online, as well as the importance of digital literacy education that integrates Islamic values such as modesty, politeness, and media responsibility. Practically, the study serves as a reference for educators, parents, and Muslim communities in fostering ethical digital understanding among youth. Theoretically, it contributes to the development of Islamic digital communication ethics discourse within the context of new media culture, while enriching scholarly perspectives on religious identity and self-expression in the digital era.

Abstract

In recent years, women have played an important role in the context of religious authority in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia and Malaysia. In addition, women's empowerment has also become one of the priority issues of several Islamic activists, groups, and Muslimah-based Islamic organizations. In this case, two women's Islamic media platforms that are massive in fighting for women's issues, gender equality, and inclusive Islamic discourse, namely Muslimah Reformis and Sisters in Islam. Furthermore, this research explores the role of women's religious authority and women's empowerment in Indonesia and Malaysia through the activism of women Muslimah Reformis (MR) from Indonesia and Sisters in Islam (SIS) from Malaysia. Both focus on fighting for gender equality, and actively voice inclusive Islamic discourse. Through netnography and interviews, this research shows that Muslimah Reformis and Sisters in Islam play an important role as agents of change in women's activism, producing ideas about women's empowerment, and efforts to fight for gender equality. The findings of this study demonstrate that Muslimah Reformis and Sisters in Islam not only serve as platforms for disseminating ideas but also function as instruments for advancing counter-narratives (battle of ideas) within digital spaces at critical moments. Simultaneously, they educate Muslim women that the Quran and hadith Islam’s foundational texts should be interpreted contextually rather than rigidly or literally, thereby preventing adherence to conservative and inflexible ideologies. Together, these organizations reframe Islamic teachings by highlighting their inherent support for gender equality and humanistic values, thereby providing Muslim women with a more inclusive and progressive framework for engaging with modern life.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of media narratives on sexual violence and analyzes how Islamic popular media in Indonesia articulate this issue in cyberspace. The topic is significant because sexual violence is a global concern and a key target of the Sustainable Development Goals, while media coverage often reproduces gender bias, sexism, and misogynistic framing. Using qualitative content analysis and Walter Fisher’s narrative paradigm, this study analyzes discourse produced by three Islamic popular media outlets: MuslimahNews.net, BincangMuslimah.com, and Mubadalah.id. The findings show that Islamic popular media position themselves as platforms for education, religious literacy, and the prevention of sexual violence by promoting inclusive and gender-equitable narratives. However, narrative constructions differ according to each outlet’s ideological orientation. MuslimahNews.net frames sexual violence as a consequence of secular capitalist systems and proposes the Islamic system as the primary solution. BincangMuslimah.com attributes sexual violence to the erosion of human dignity and value inequality, advocating practical prevention measures, legal responses, and the involvement of religious leaders. Mubadalah.id constructs sexual violence as rooted in patriarchal culture, gender injustice, and biased religious interpretations, emphasizing the deconstruction of such interpretations and the promotion of shared social responsibility. These findings demonstrate that Islamic popular media offer diverse narrative strategies that can function as counter-narratives to gender-biased mainstream media and contribute to more ethical and inclusive public discourse on sexual violence.

Abstract

Due to the limited studies on the minorities’ perceptions of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, this study examines how Shia, as a minority group in Indonesia, perceive this issue. It analyzes the construction of discourse in several news articles related to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, published in October 2024 on Shia’s website, ahlulbaitindonesia.or.id. This study is a digital or virtual ethnography that uses a qualitative approach and employs Van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis theory, which requires the exploration of three dimensions: text, social cognition, and context. This study examines relevant news content retrieved using three keywords: ‘Zionis’, ‘Israel’, and ‘Palestina’, and uncovers the motivations underlying the production of discourse through an interview. This study finds that the news discourses are reported in a non-objective manner. The author has a negative tendency towards Israel by emphasizing words with the meaning of violence, disrespect, or terror. Meanwhile, Palestine was portrayed as an oppressed and honorable party. Social cognition analysis reveals that ideological and emotional factors drive the negative tendency. There is also an attempt to associate with the Shia global hub, surpassing the objective of maintaining local existence. From a contextual perspective, the massive production of negative news is a reaction to the death of three resistance figures against Israel and a response to global silence on this conflict. Ultimately, this article evaluates, amends, and refines Schäfer’s study, which merely contends that Shia entered the virtual world and utilized digital media to build a good image, whereas the phenomenon is, in fact, more complex.

Abstract

The democratization of Indonesia’s public sphere in the post-Reformasi era has been accompanied by various forms of social and religious mobilization, ranging from peaceful collective action to episodes of open confrontation. One of the most recent and notable cases is the rejection of Syafiq Riza Basalamah’s religious gathering at Masjid Assalam by Nahdlatul Ulama–affiliated organizations, namely GP Ansor and Banser. This study examines the incident as an empirical case study of religious mobilization in contemporary Indonesia. Drawing on the framing perspective within social movement theory, this study analyzes how meanings, threats, and justifications were constructed to legitimize collective action. Using qualitative desk research, including relevant academic literature and data from news reports, social media, and online platforms, this study investigates the role of framing in Nahdlatul Ulama’s mobilization against a Salafi preacher. The findings show that the interplay of ideology, strategy, and urgency was central to the framing process that enabled mobilization. This study contributes theoretical and empirical insights into the dynamics of intra-Islamic contestation and religious mobilization in Indonesia.
