Abstract

Contemporary analyses of Wilāyat al-Faqīh predominantly utilize security studies or political realism frameworks, effectively reducing the doctrine to an instrument of state hegemony. This externalist approach, however, creates an epistemic blind spot regarding the internal normative constraints that bind the jurist-ruler. This article bridges this gap by reconstructing the doctrine’s genealogy through a qualitative doctrinal analysis of primary Shiʿi jurisprudence, tracing the trajectory from the Safavid-era works of Al-Karakī, through the Qajar-era synthesis of Narāqī and the restrictionist critique of Anṣārī, to the revolutionary treatises of Khomeini. The study demonstrates that the transition from restricted agency (wikālah) to general vicegerency (wilāya ʿāmma) was not a rupture but a dialectical expansion of "collective obligation" (farḍ kifāyah) intended to prevent the suspension of divine law. Results indicate that the jurist’s authority is legally conceptualized as "trusteeship" (amānah), a functional construct (iʿtibārī) designed to negate arbitrary tyranny (ṭāghūt) via institutional checks. Consequently, the institution operates as a form of "Theological Constitutionalism," where the ruler’s legitimacy is continuously contingent upon adherence to justice (ʿadāla) and constitutional procedure. These findings challenge the "Theocratic Absolutism" thesis, suggesting that the system’s internal logic is closer to a rule-of-law mechanism than a charismatic dictatorship.

Abstract

The Islamic law of rebellion (bughāt) is traditionally interpreted as a protective framework or a neutral theological derivation designed to regulate internal political conflicts. Challenging these static interpretations, this study employs a genealogical deconstruction synthesized with social constructionism and power/knowledge frameworks to investigate al-Māwardī’s al-Aḥkām al-Sulṭāniyyah as an artifact of imperial survival. Findings reveal that al-Māwardī’s formulation of bughāt functions as a sophisticated "technology of power" engineered to mitigate the material impotence of the Abbasid Caliphate under Buwayhid hegemony. By constructing "legal fictions" of symbolic sovereignty, the text weaponizes the ambiguity between rebellion and banditry (ḥirābah). This architecture of exclusion utilizes the criteria of military strength (shawka) and plausible interpretation (ta’wīl) not to shield rebels, but to discipline the social body and criminalize dissenters who lack state-mirrored organizational structures. Consequently, the law transforms political opposition into a criminalized "non-subject" status, ensuring the state’s monopoly on legitimate violence. This research concludes that classical fiqh is a historically contingent tool of hegemonic legitimation, exposing the inherent exclusionary mechanisms that underpin the preservation of centralized authority.

Abstract

The intellectual legacy of Islamic Neo-Modernism, grounded in the hermeneutics of Fazlur Rahman and operationalized by Nurcholish Madjid and Abdurrahman Wahid, successfully transitioned Indonesia from authoritarianism to democracy by reconciling Islamic authenticity with pluralism. However, the efficacy of this "analog" framework in the digital era remains critically underexamined. This study investigates the structural compatibility between Neo-Modernist epistemology—characterized by "high-context" reasoning and historical regression—and the "low-context" architecture of contemporary social media platforms. It specifically interrogates why the proliferation of moderate (Wasaṭiyyah) content has failed to counteract the rise of digital radicalism. Adopting a "Techno-Hermeneutic" framework that synthesizes Rahman’s "Double Movement" theory with Media Ecology, this research employs a Critical Conceptual Synthesis design to scrutinize high-impact empirical data from 2018–2024. The analysis reveals a "Hermeneutic Short-Circuit": digital platforms structurally amputate the "First Movement" (historical regression) required by Neo-Modernist thought, rendering it incompatible with the "infinite scroll." Furthermore, findings indicate that algorithmic metrics actively penalize Madjid’s "psychological skepticism," transforming Civility into performative identity conflict. At the same time, the "globally legible" aesthetics of the algorithm displace Wahid’s Indigenization, creating a vacuum of rooted authority. The study concludes that the digital medium inherently erodes Neo-Modernist authority by favoring "burstiness" over "psychological skepticism." Consequently, simply increasing the volume of moderate content is futile. The survival of Civil Islam requires a radical re-engineering of hermeneutic methods toward "Indigenous Data Sovereignty" and algorithmic transparency, shifting the battleground from content production to infrastructure governance.

Abstract

This study investigates the practice, motivation, and meaning-making of grave pilgrimage (ziarah kubur), a prominent Indonesian religious tradition, among Indonesian university students in Cairo, Egypt. It aims to understand how this cultural practice is maintained, negotiated, and rationalized within a major center of Islamic scholarship. Employing a qualitative-dominant research design, this study analyzed survey narratives from 54 Indonesian students, supported by descriptive statistics. The findings reveal that grave pilgrimage is widespread, serving as a key mechanism for cultural identity preservation in a diaspora context. The motivations are identified as a dynamic interplay between personal spiritual needs, such as seeking tranquility and divine blessings (barakah), and the reinforcement of communal cultural sentiments. Crucially, the study uncovers a sophisticated process of 'religious rationalization,' whereby students utilize their formal religious education to re-frame the practice intellectually, shifting it from the category of local custom (adat) to a more universally justifiable act of worship (ibadah). This research concludes that for this cohort of future religious elites, grave pilgrimage is not a static tradition but a dynamic, adaptive strategy for negotiating their Indonesian and Muslim identities. The practice is intellectually reinforced, ensuring its continued relevance and vitality in a transnational context.

Abstract

History records recurring instances where Sufi brotherhoods transitioned into territorial states, notably in the Safavid Empire, the Sokoto Caliphate, and North African resistance movements. However, current scholarship often conflates the mystical identity of founders with the administrative reality of these polities, assuming a continuity of "Sufi governance" that empirical evidence contradicts. This study employs a comparative historical analysis to deconstruct the "Sufi Sultanate" as a political typology. By juxtaposing the Naqshbandī fiscalization in Central Asia, the Qādirī mobilization in West Africa, and the Sanūsī tribalization in Libya, the research isolates the structural mechanisms of state formation. Findings reveal a consistent process of "epistemic erasure," where the murshid-murīd bond—essential for initial mobilization—is systematically dismantled or "transubstantiated" into legal-rational or patrimonial authority once power is consolidated. Whether through the imposition of sharī‘a courts or the bureaucratization of waqf endowments, the "Sufi" infrastructure serves merely as revolutionary scaffolding. This article challenges the concept of "Sufi Exceptionalism," arguing that the "Sufi State" is inherently transient and inevitably yields to conventional Islamic statecraft to ensure political survival.
