Abstract

Mosques are central institutions in Muslim life, and have traditionally focused on religious aspects. However, in the context of an increasingly complex modern society, the role of mosques has evolved to encompass various dimensions of life, including religious literacy. This article aims to conduct a sociological analysis of the literacy movement at the Jendral Sudirman Mosque in Yogyakarta, considering the shifting role of mosques in supporting religious literacy. Through a qualitative approach involving interviews and direct observation, this study explores how the Jendral Sudirman Mosque facilitates literacy programs that not only meet religious needs but also open doors for academic learning. The findings show that the mosque has adopted an academically structured approach in presenting literacy materials, which has successfully attracted the attention of not only parents but also the younger generation, especially students. A sociological analysis was conducted to understand the social, political, and cultural context surrounding the literacy movement at the Jendral Sudirman Mosque. The article reveals that this literacy movement is not an isolated phenomenon but a response to existing social and religious dynamics. In addition, it highlights the important role of the mosque's takmir in leading and driving the literacy initiative as well as bridging the relationship between the mosque and its community. This article makes an important contribution to understanding the evolution of the role of mosques in modern society, particularly in the context of religious literacy. The practical implications of this study are also discussed, including its relevance in guiding the development of literacy programs in other mosques and strengthening the role of mosques as holistic community learning centres.

Abstract

The art of Madihin poetry is a rich part of the archipelago's cultural values and is an important heritage in Indonesian literary tradition. This article aims to examine the value of da'wah contained in the art of literary verse from the semiotic perspective of Roland Barthes. Originally intended for nobles or royal families, Madihin has evolved into a popular art form over time. Beyond its performative aspects, Madihin's literary dimension encapsulates numerous values. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method, utilizing Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis to interpret denotations, connotations, and myths. Semiotics provides a structured framework for understanding Madihin as a form of communication, conveying messages inherent in local art forms. The data under examination consists of Madihin poems performed by the John Tralala Group. Through interpretative techniques, the collected data is semiotically analyzed to elucidate the implicit da'wah values embedded within Madihin poetry. The research findings demonstrate the presence of worship and knowledge values that can be applied to everyday life. Moreover, the application of Roland Barthes' semiotics reveals Madihin literature's potential to influence public perceptions and artistic practices, thereby facilitating message dissemination. Syair madihin as an art can also be part of the preaching media in which there is preaching value, with research evidence that some texts of madihin poems performed by John Tralala have preaching values in the form of aqidah values, namely believing in Allah's qada and qadar, Sharia values in the form of prayer worship, the obligation to cover the aurat, and the law of marriage, and moral values in the form of mutual respect, fairness, and the obligations of a leader.

Abstract

The escalation of ecological crises is increasingly evident in contemporary society, particularly with the surge in ecological disasters across various regions of Indonesia. This phenomenon is intricately linked to the intensifying extreme weather patterns, a consequence of post-World War II industrialization and the unchecked expansion of industries in developing nations. This study delves into the ideologies and actions of the Front Nahdliyin for the Sovereignty of Natural Resources (FNKSDA) aimed at mitigating the unfolding ecological catastrophes, which are symptomatic of the ongoing crisis. It investigates how FNKSDA's initiatives intersect with the principles of progressive Islam. Notably, one of FNKSDA's key endeavors involves countering neo-extractivist practices spearheaded by PT BSI in Banyuwangi, which resulted in devastating mud floods in 2016. Employing a comprehensive literature review methodology encompassing scholarly works, journals, and pertinent press releases, this research unveils FNKSDA's alignment with progressive Islamic tenets. Conceptually, this alignment manifests through their interpretative approaches to religious texts, while in practice, it is evidenced through their advocacy for marginalized communities and steadfast resistance against oppressive systems.

Abstract

This research examines the contestation of Muslim religious patterns in Indonesia, especially on social media. Contestation of the meaning of the state or state system from an Islamic perspective is echoed by extreme and moderate Islam. Extreme-conservative religious patterns tend to interpret democracy as a product of infidels and a political game of chameleons, even thagut. A moderate Islamic camp supports the democratic system on the grounds that it is for the benefit of citizens who are not only Muslims. The data objects studied in this article were taken from @almanhaj. or.id, @safaridakwah, www.almanhaj.or.id and @ulama.nusantara, @nahdlatululama, www.nu.or.id. The research method used in this study was qualitative, using literature studies and processing data objects taken from social media channels and websites. The identity of this article is also a media/netnography study, whose processing process begins with collecting data (virtual observation), which is then analyzed and processed using Teun A. Van Dijk's discourse analysis theory, which consists of text, social cognition, and social context. Finally, this article concludes that the concept of the true and ideal state from extremes is the caliphate system and the enforcement of Islamic law in the state against anyone, regardless of any religious background known as dar al-islam. In contrast to moderates, who interpret democracy as a good state concept to be applied in multi-religious Indonesia known as Dar al-Salam. This view of moderates cannot be separated from Prophet's command, namely, in the state to emphasize the benefits for all groups. The theoretical implication in this study is that the state system built and narrated in the digital space by Muslims has two poles, namely the Islamic state "dar al-islam" and the prosperous, peaceful state "Dar al-salam.” The discovery of these two major concepts is an academic contribution resulting from the study of the meaning of the state in the digital space by religious organizations in Indonesia. Thus, this study provides benefits for future researchers in developing Islamic studies and statehoods from an Islamic perspective.

Abstract

This article delves into the progressive movement and the epistemological foundations of Abdullah Saeed's contextual interpretation, focusing on its pivotal role in addressing the growing disparity between Islamic sciences, particularly Quranic interpretation, and the complex realities of contemporary socio-cultural dynamics. Abdullah Saeed's contextual interpretation attempts to present an interpretive method to bridge this gap. Using a philosophical Islamic sciences approach and descriptive methods through content analysis, this paper presents the epistemological construction of Abdullah Saeed's contextual interpretation. This article finds the following two things: First, Saeed's contextual method situates Qur'anic interpretation within a discourse that is open and responsive to socio-cultural change and embraces a progressive Islamic framework. Second, Saeed's contextualist interpretive epistemology presents a discursive-comprehensive style in terms of sources, tools, methods, and knowledge validation. This style proves accommodating while transcending traditional textualist and semi-textualist interpretive approaches. The significance of this epistemology lies in its affirmation that Qur'anic interpretation is not at odds with scientific and socio-cultural considerations. Rather, it actively engages with contemporary issues such as inter-religious dialogue, human dignity, human rights, gender mainstreaming, and other pertinent matters.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the phenomenon of religious moderation that occurs in puritan Islam, focusing on a case study of Jemaah LDII (Lembaga Dakwah Islam Indonesia) in Sambiresik Village, Gampengrejo District, Kediri Regency. Purist Islam is known for its conservative and normative interpretation of religion, but this study reveals how the LDIIcongregation applies an inclusive and tolerant approach in their religious practice. The research method used was a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and content analysis of related documents. Data were analyzed using an inductive approach to identify patterns of behavior and views that emerged from the interviewees and data sources. The results showed that the Sambiresik Village LDIIcongregation has an inclusive approach to practicing religious teachings. Despite coming from a puritanical Islamic background, they practice tolerance towards other religious groups and advocate interfaith cooperation to advance the local community. This research also reveals the important role played by religious figures in promoting this inclusive attitude. In the context of Sambiresik Village, historical factors, religious education focusing on moderate understanding, and positive social interactions were identified as key drivers of this inclusive approach. However, challenges such as negative perceptions of other puritanical religious groups and external dynamics that could affect the stability of inclusiveness remain a concern. In conclusion, this study illustrates that religious moderation can occur among puritanical Islamists such as Jemaah LDII in Sambiresik Village. This shows the potential to build faith harmony amidst differences in beliefs. This study provides deep insight into how an inclusive approach to religious practice can be adopted and sustained in communities characterized by puritanical interpretations of religion.

Abstract

Religious freedom has been the subject of sustained debate among religious leaders throughout the history of human civilization. This has prompted various religious figures to develop and construct the concept with the aim of facilitating harmonious relations between religious communities. One of the figures who tried to elaborate on this concept was the prominent Muslim scholar, Tāhir Ibn Āshūr. This study examines the concept of religious freedom from Ibn Āshūr's perspective using a literature review or library study method. This article presents descriptive data, illustrating scholarly research with the potential to be further developed and applied in practice. The research approach used was descriptive qualitative, which aims to gather comprehensive information on the research topic. Data were collected through the systematic collation and categorization of online resources and related literature. The research found that Ibn Āshūr believed that religious freedom involves the inherent right of every individual to choose, believe, and practice their religion. Although convinced that Islam is the only true religion, he also showed respect for the beliefs and religions of others, demonstrating tolerance and recognition of the diversity of human beliefs. This article outlines three main aspects of Ibn Āshūr's views on religious freedom: the existence of restrictions on religious freedom, grounds in favor of religious conversion, and prohibition against free change of religion. This thorough analysis provides important insights into Ibn `Āshūr's views on religious freedom, and offers valuable implications for future research and practical applications.

Abstract

Lukman Hakim Saifuddin's proposal of religious moderation offers a compelling perspective for understanding Hadith on inter-religious relations. This study aims to present an understanding of Hadith regarding relations with non-Muslims through the lens of Lukman Hakim Saifuddin's religious moderation. To achieve this, the research employs Islamic sciences, hermeneutic approaches, and descriptive methods through content analysis. Lukman Hakim Saifuddin advocates for a balanced, inclusive, and adaptive perspective in interpreting Hadith. His approach emphasizes the humanitarian aspect, ensuring that religious understanding and practice uphold the noble values of religion, particularly in maintaining human dignity and public benefit. The findings suggest that, according to Saifuddin’s religious moderation, Hadith on relations with non-Muslims advocate for harmony under normal conditions, reflecting the universality of Islamic teachings. However, in specific situations where injustice and violations of mutual commitments occur, resistance is necessary to uphold justice and mutual commitments. While Lukman Hakim Saifuddin's concept of religious moderation provides a broad framework, it lacks specific epistemological details for understanding religious texts. Therefore, to effectively apply this idea in interpreting religious texts, it is essential to integrate other scientific tools, especially the science of interpretation, to complement and support the overarching concept of religious moderation.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the relevance and contribution of Nusantara Sufism teachings in addressing the humanitarian crises faced by contemporary society. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a library research approach. Data were collected from various relevant literature, including books, journals, articles, and digital sources discussing Nusantara Sufism teachings and humanitarian crises. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively by identifying main themes that emerged from the literature and evaluating the contributions of these teachings in the context of humanitarian crises. The findings indicate that Nusantara Sufism teachings can provide concrete solutions to humanitarian crises through the harmonization of spiritual and material dimensions. The teaching of Manunggaling Kawula Gusti encourages the search for deeper meaning in life, reducing the spiritual emptiness that often underlies various crises. Pepatah Petitih offers moral values that can guide ethical behavior in society, while Sangkan Paraning Dumadi provides a philosophical framework for understanding and accepting the journey of life. The theoretical implications highlight the importance of integrating spiritual dimensions in the study of humanitarian crises and open opportunities for further research on the contribution of local teachings in solving global issues.

Abstract

The tolak bala tradition holds profound significance in the lives of Pardamean Baru Village residents in Mandailing Natal. Amidst the escalating forces of globalization and modernization, such traditions frequently confront formidable challenges that originate both externally and internally within the community itself. This study endeavors to employ a phenomenological approach to delve into the subjective meanings intertwined with the rejection of bad luck practices in Pardamean Baru Village. Research methodologies encompassed in-depth interviews with community leaders well versed in the tolak bala tradition, alongside participatory observations aimed at comprehending the social, cultural, and environmental milieu in which this tradition unfolds. Subsequently, the amassed data underwent qualitative analysis, focusing on individuals' comprehension and engagement with tradition, as well as its relevance in their daily lives. The findings reveal that the tolak bala tradition transcends mere religious observance, permeating diverse facets of Pardamean Baru Village. This tradition holds profound spiritual connotations, as the community perceives the ritualistic rejection of the bala as a safeguard against impending threats and calamities. Moreover, this practice fosters interpersonal bonds and fortifies the community’s collective identity. This study underscores the need to apprehend the internal viewpoints of communities to safeguard and perpetuate invaluable cultural legacies. By grasping the intrinsic meanings and imports embedded within the tolak bala tradition, it is envisaged that more efficacious strategies can be devised to uphold this tradition amid the flux of contemporary times. Furthermore, this study enriches the discourse within phenomenology and cultural anthropology by delineating human experiences within a nuanced cultural and spiritual backdrop.
