Abstract

This study delves into the reformation of Muslims in Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria, and the establishment of Arabic and Islamic schools. Islam's history in Owo traces back to the early 19th century when the town was under the sway of the Oyo Empire, a Yoruba state governing much of present-day southwestern Nigeria. The process of reforming Muslims in Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria, has been intricate and lengthy. Through the founding of Arabic and Islamic schools, the Muslim community has achieved notable progress in providing education and fostering Islamic principles. This paper examines the historical background and significance of the reformation movement, alongside its impact on the Owo community. It particularly focuses on the role of Shaikh Apaokagi, a prominent figure in the reformation movement. The research scrutinizes the historical, social, and religious catalysts behind the movement, as well as the challenges encountered by the Muslim community. It underscores the pivotal role of education and religious scholarship in advancing the reformation, along with Shaikh Apaokagi's leadership influence. The findings reveal that the reformation movement has profoundly influenced the Muslim community in Owo, resulting in heightened religious literacy, enhanced socioeconomic conditions, and a reinforced community identity. However, it also notes resistance from traditionalist factions within the community, indicating the necessity for sustained efforts to ensure the movement's enduring success. In conclusion, this study posits that the reformation movement stands as a significant and beneficial advancement for the Muslim community in Owo.

Abstract

Abstract The following research aims to discuss the development of Islamic maritime civilization on the East Coast of Sumatra during the 17th to 18th centuries AD. What sultanates represented the Islamic maritime civilization on the East Coast of Sumatra from the 17th to the 18th century AD and what were the characteristics of the Islamic maritime civilization on the East Coast of Sumatra that developed during this period are the two questions raised in this research. To answer these two questions, this research uses the historical research method with research steps that include heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The search for sources was conducted through literature research. The results of the research itself are expected to have positive implications for the development of the history of Islamic civilization in the archipelago, especially in the field of Islamic maritime civilization which has been neglected. The research concluded that the Islamic maritime civilization on the East Coast of Sumatra was represented by sultanates such as Aceh, Siak, Deli, Serdang, Langkat, and Asahan. These sultanates were sultanates with brown water civilization because they placed the center of their power downstream of the river. Nevertheless, their maritime capabilities have reached green water cruising and blue water cruising. Keywords: Islamic maritime civilization, Islamic history, maritime history, sultanates, East Coast of Sumatra

Abstract

This article discusses the issue of Rohingya refugees in Aceh, Indonesia, from an Islamic perspective. The Rohingya refugees flee from violence and discrimination in Myanmar, seeking asylum in neighboring countries, including Indonesia. This research employs a qualitative method to gather and analyze data to understand the concepts, opinions, and experiences related to this issue. The findings indicate that Islam emphasizes the importance of humanity, even towards non-Muslims. The majority of Acehnese people oppose the Rohingya refugees due to concerns over economic security and social cohesion. However, they do not justify the violation of human dignity and rights. Islam teaches tolerance, justice, and kindness to all of God's creatures. Despite the challenges in handling refugees, support and cooperation from the government and the international community are crucial in seeking comprehensive long-term solutions to the Rohingya crisis. This article also examines political asylum policies from the perspective of Islamic law, emphasizing that Islam is a religion that acknowledges and respects human rights, encouraging its followers to be just and kind to all people, including non-Muslims.

Abstract

The escalating Israel-Palestine conflict triggered a surge in Islamophobia and hate crimes against Muslims worldwide. As part of the Islamic hospitality industry, Sharia-compliant hotels played a crucial role in promoting the values of Islamic hospitality to non-Muslim tourists, with the aim of reducing Islamophobia. Utilizing a literature review approach, this research aims to answer two main questions, 1) how Islamophobia affects the Muslim community in general, and 2) how Islamic hospitality values in Sharia-compliant hotels play an important role in reducing Islamophobia. The study identified that Sharia-compliant hotels had at least four promotable products and services, namely halal food products, the prohibition of alcoholic beverages, protection for female and child tourists, and religion-based preference room services. Practically, this research provides references to Sharia-compliant hotel managers regarding Islamic hospitality values that can be promoted to attract non-Muslim tourists. Effective promotion of the values of Islamic hospitality could significantly contribute to mitigating Islamophobia and its negative impacts, including the rise in hate crimes. In the future, scholars and Islamic researchers needed to engage in more comprehensive research to formulate strategies that captured the hearts of non-Muslim tourists and countered Islamophobia.

Abstract

The Islamic world, like other nations, has faced numerous pandemics throughout history, profoundly shaping its societal landscape. Muslims historically addressed such challenges in accordance with the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), employing both spiritual practices, such as supplication and purification rituals, as well as practical measures. Among the most devastating pandemics was the Black Plague in the mid-8th century, which ravaged the Islamic world and beyond, spanning Asia and Europe. This pandemic reshaped demographics and left a lasting impact on states and societies. Islamic scholars and physicians played pivotal roles during this crisis, documenting its effects, proposing solutions, and contributing to medical advancements. This research aims to explore the contributions of Muslim scholars and doctors in combating the Black Plague, documenting their writings, proposals, and medical interventions. By examining their efforts, we gain insights into historical approaches to pandemics and strategies for prevention and treatment.

Abstract

In a feudal system, land is the main source of wealth and power. Meanwhile, Techno-Feudalism holds the concentration of power and data wealth in the digital realm which has a significant impact on economic, social and political structures. This research discusses the dialectics of religious ethics, capitalism and Indonesian citizenship in the face of the rise of techno-feudalism from the perspective of British scholars' orientalism. This study uses a multi-faceted approach, combining interviews, content analysis and scientific publication studies to reveal the complex layers of how British intellectuals interpreted and engaged with the historical discourse of inter-religious interaction in Indonesia amidst the shift from feudalism to techno-feudalism. The challenges of Indonesian citizenship in global civility and the flow of capitalism are the center of attention in this research. This research shows that the complexity inherent in cross-cultural academic interactions demands the growth of different perspectives on citizenship and national identity amidst the rise of techno-feudalism that has taken over capitalism. In this position, the power of religious ethics is increasingly relevant, being put forward as a controlling force towards moderate citizenship and economic system. As a recommendation that techno-Feudalism holds the concentration of power and wealth in the digital realm, which in many ways is considered potentially dangerous, must be immediately addressed in the necessary ways to explore and depict a better future.

Abstract

This paper investigates politics interfaith diplomacy in Indonesia. Indeed, interfaith diplomacy is part of the inclusion of religion in international relations that has been neglected because of the dominance of the secularity foundation in the realism tradition. After 11 September 2021, interfaith dialogue, is widely used as a framework in solving global religious problems, including in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, this research answered the question of why the interfaith diplomacy of the World Peace Forum (WPF) emerges, continues, and becomes successful in maintaining its continuity. In addition, aspects of the socio-political context of interfaith diplomacy were studied. To better understand the puzzle, this working paper employed the concept of New Public Diplomacy in analyzing the topic. The paper contends that interfaith diplomacy emerged in Indonesia because of global conditions that were being hit by global conflict and war as well as clashes between civilizations so that religious organizations and religious leaders such as Muhammadiyah took part in playing the role of inter-religious diplomacy through WPF.

Abstract

This article examines the phenomenon of wealth obsession and the resulting disillusionment through the lens of Islamic teachings and the insights of Edward Morgan Forster. Drawing on Forster’s essay “My Wood,” this study demonstrates how material possession and the desire for wealth can influence the human psyche, generating an unbounded craving for power and ownership that ultimately leads to dissatisfaction and inner conflict. Islamic teachings, which strongly warn against greed and emphasize moderation in fulfilling human needs, provide a normative framework that aligns with Forster’s critique. Through a textual analysis of Forster’s essay and key Islamic sources, this research finds that individuals often become trapped in the pursuit of wealth without understanding the true limits of their needs. This lack of awareness fuels an endless cycle of ambition. The study concludes that integrating Islamic ethical principles with Forster’s humanistic reflections offers a complementary perspective for overcoming wealth obsession, enabling individuals to attain a more peaceful, balanced, and meaningful life.

Abstract

Discrimination against minority groups based on race, religion, and other characteristics has a long-standing history in the United States. This study explores how Indonesian Muslims in major urban areas across the US confront and resist discrimination. Through phenomenological analysis, data were gathered from 16 Indonesian participants residing in eight different states. The findings reveal that Indonesian Muslims employ strategies such as staying calm, exercising self-control, seeking clarification, speaking up, and reporting incidents to authorities to combat discrimination. These coping mechanisms reflect the complexity of discrimination faced by this minority group and underscore the need for robust legal frameworks and collaborative efforts to promote tolerance and respect for diversity. The study offers valuable insights for activists, religious leaders, legal advocates, and academics working to foster an inclusive society. It also emphasizes the necessity for further research, particularly with larger and more diverse samples, to understand the long-term impacts and to develop targeted interventions that support Indonesian Muslims and other minority groups in the US.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the good and bad themes of love and recognition in Sophocles' Antigone, which is within the framework of Franz Brentano's philosophical concepts and Islamic views. The main questions asked are: How do love and recognition help to understand good and bad actions in the narrative of "Antigone"? And how do these themes resonate in Islamic moral views? To answer these questions, the research uses the method of literary analysis based on historical texts, philosophical theories, and religious insights. The analysis shows that the character of Antigone shows the conflict between family loyalty and social rules, showing that love can lead to noble actions with tragic consequences. Meanwhile, Creon's character represents the dangers of pride and blind judgment and tries to enforce human laws over divine principles. The findings highlight the complexity of ethical decisions and show that what is considered good or bad may vary based on individual perspectives and social norms. Finally, this research shows how Antigone's narrative reflects the interplay of love, cognition, and ethical dilemmas and makes Brentano's thoughts on ethics reconsidered in the light of Islamic teachings. This study concludes that a deep commitment to these themes encourages a more nuanced understanding of moral ambiguity and human behavior.
