Abstract

This article explores the role of Wali Songo in promoting religious moderation and national unity through a cultural approach. As pivotal figures in the spread of Islam in Indonesia, Wali Songo integrated Islamic teachings with local customs, fostering an environment of tolerance and mutual respect among diverse religious communities. By analyzing their strategies and practices, this study highlights how Wali Songo's cultural adaptations not only facilitated the acceptance of Islam but also encouraged harmonious coexistence among different faiths. The findings suggest that the principles of moderation and tolerance championed by Wali Songo remain relevant in addressing contemporary challenges of religious diversity in Indonesia.   Artikel ini mengeksplorasi peran Wali Songo dalam mempromosikan moderasi beragama dan persatuan nasional melalui pendekatan budaya. Sebagai tokoh penting dalam penyebaran Islam di Indonesia, Wali Songo memadukan ajaran Islam dengan adat istiadat setempat, memupuk lingkungan yang toleran dan saling menghormati di antara komunitas agama yang beragam. Dengan menganalisis strategi dan praktik-praktik mereka, penelitian ini menyoroti bagaimana adaptasi budaya Wali Songo tidak hanya memfasilitasi penerimaan Islam, tetapi juga mendorong hidup berdampingan secara harmonis di antara berbagai agama. Temuan-temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa prinsip-prinsip moderasi dan toleransi yang diperjuangkan oleh Wali Songo tetap relevan dalam menjawab tantangan kontemporer keragaman agama di Indonesia.

Abstract

Qur’anic interpretation has been identified with the book of tafsir (kutub al-tafāsīr), which often ignores the interpretations scattered in non-tafsir books, such as Taqrīrāt Jawharat al-Tawḥīd by KH. Maimun Zubair. Concerned with examining and analyzing his interpretation on anthropomorphism verses in that book, the researcher used a descriptive-analytical method with the conceptual framework of narrative structure analysis theory by William Labov and Joshua Waletzky. This research found that KH. Maimun Zubair strongly rejected at understanding verses that connote anthropomorphism using the tajsīm method and supported interpretation through the tafwīḍ and ta’wīl method by giving takhyīr (freedom to choose among two options). Not only being moderate and progressive, by doing so, KH. Maimun Zubair has indirectly offered the solution for taqlid problems.   Tafsir selama ini identik dengan kitab tafsir (kutub al-tafāsīr) yang seringkali mengabaikan tafsir-tafsir yang tersebar dalam kitab-kitab non tafsir, seperti Taqrīrāt Jawharat al-Tawḥīd karya KH. Maimun Zubair. Untuk mengkaji dan menganalisis tafsirnya terhadap ayat-ayat antropomorfisme dalam Taqrīrāt Jauharat al-Tauḥīd, peneliti menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis dengan kerangka konseptual teori analisis struktur naratif oleh William Labov dan Joshua Waletzky. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa KH. Maimun Zubair menolak keras penafsiran ayat-ayat yang mengandung makna antropomorfisme dengan metode tajsīm dan mendukung penafsiran dengan metode tafwīḍ dan ta’wīl dengan memberikan takhyīr (kebebasan memilih di antara dua pilihan). Selain bersikap moderat dan progresif, dengan demikian, KH. Maimun Zubair secara tidak langsung juga menawarkan solusi untuk masalah taqlid yang selama ini mengakar dalam masyarakat.

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of watching Korean dramas on the imitation behavior of Pekanbaru students. The theory used is the S-O-R (Stimulus, Organism and Response) theory to explain the data and analysis of the stages of students' imitation behavior towards Korean dramas. The research methodology used is a descriptive qualitative method reinforced by interview data sources with references in the form of relevant articles. The research informants used were students of Pekanbaru Telecommunication Middle School, which were determined through purposive sampling techniques. The results of the study showed that based on the analysis of the SOR theory carried out, there were behaviors that were imitated by Pekanbaru Telecommunication Middle School students from the Korean dramas they watched. The habits imitated by Pekanbaru students were related to fashion, including makeup and skin care, eating habits, and language style or terms in Korean.

Abstract

This study explores the intersection of Siri’ na Pacce, a cultural value system of the Bugis-Makassar community, and Islamic teachings from the Qur’an. To understand how these values align with and enhance the Qur’anic principles, the researcher conducted literature review and content analysis methods. The study findings reveal that the Qur’anic teachings of honesty, integrity, and social justice are closely aligned with the core values of Siri’ na Pacce, facilitating a harmonious interaction between local cultural norms and religious principles. Not only the integration strengthens communal identity and promotes ethical behaviour in Bugis-Makassar society, but the study also concludes that Siri’ na Pacce successfully integrates cultural and religious values, upholds local traditions, enriches religious practices, and offers a model for other multicultural communities.   Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi hubungan antara Siri’ na Pacce, sistem nilai budaya masyarakat Bugis-Makassar, dan ajaran Islam dari Al-Qur’an. Untuk memahami bagaimana nilai-nilai ini selaras dengan dan meningkatkan prinsip-prinsip Al-Qur’an, peneliti melakukan telaah pustaka dan metode analisis wacana. Temuan penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa ajaran Al-Qur’an tentang kejujuran, integritas, dan keadilan sosial sangat selaras dengan nilai-nilai inti Siri’ na Pacce, yang memfasilitasi interaksi yang harmonis antara norma-norma budaya lokal dan prinsip-prinsip agama. Integrasi tersebut tidak hanya memperkuat identitas komunal dan mempromosikan perilaku etis dalam masyarakat Bugis-Makassar, tetapi penelitian ini juga menyimpulkan bahwa Siri’ na Pacce berhasil mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai budaya dan agama, menegakkan tradisi lokal, memperkaya praktik keagamaan, dan menawarkan model bagi masyarakat multikultural lainnya.

Abstract

This research aims to describe findings in the Qur'an regarding the issue of gender equality. Nowadays, there is still a stereotype of justifying men as having a higher position in reminding women who have done wrong. Even not a few men have a patriarchal paradigm towards women. The paradigm certainly needs to be straightened out through analysis of studies of several interpretations of the Qur'an. Using Amina Wadud's hermeneutic review as an approach, it was found that the Qur'an indeed explains the position between men and women with no dichotomy. By (1) categorizing interpretations into traditional, reactive, and holistic approaches and (2) identifying which methods best fit the analysis; philological analysis is then applied to examine the language and syntax of the Qur'anic text and uncover the deeper meanings of certain words and phrases The Qur'an does not describe the existence of patriarchal, matriarchal, misogynist, and misandry ideologies. Furthermore, it is also explained that (1) women have the right to inheritance and dowry, (2) they have the same commandments in worship, (3) men and women have a primordial agreement of monotheism, (4) men and women have the same potential to achieve achievements, and (5) men and women have compatibility in piety. These findings indicate that men and women have harmony before God and that there is no dichotomy between men and women in carrying out their functions and roles on earth.
Hubungan Antaragama dalam al-Qur’an: Ayat Kalimatun Sawā’ dalam Perspektif Maqāṣid al-Qur’ān Sa‘īd al-Nursī: Interreligious Relationship in the Koran: Chapters on Common Ground in the Perspective of Sa’id al-Nursi’s Maqasid al-Qur’an Aziz, Muhammad Abdul

Abstract

Neglecting the exclusive and inclusive aspects of the teaching of Islam is among the obstacles to carrying out fruitful interreligious relations. By limiting the research to the verse of kalimatun sawā’ (common ground) coupled with two methods, i.e., the textual and comparative, the present research aims to explore such two dimensions within the context of the concept of maqāṣid al-Qur'ān proposed by Sa‘īd al-Nursī in his Rasa'il al-Nur. This research concluded that within al-Nursī’s four articles of maqāṣid al-Qur'ān, i.e., monotheism (tawhīd), prophethood (nubuwwah), the day of resurrection (ḥashr), and justice (‘adl), the first three are exclusive binding only on Muslims while the last one is inclusive that applies universally. In the context of kalimatun sawā’ as a case study, it is revealed two available options that serve as the common ground, i.e., the call for authentic monotheism (indicated by e.g., allā na‘buda illā Allāh) and, if this fails, the submission to God (biannā muslimūn) as to the truth of their own beliefs so as to create interreligious tolerance for the sake of materializing social justice. The first option, which consists of monotheism and prophethood, is considered exclusive while the second, which comprises justice and the Last Day, is inclusive and exclusive.

Abstract

This historical survey looks at the many-sided roles of the church in national development in Nigeria, ranging from education and health to politics and social services. The influence of the Church, tracing from the colonial era when missionary activities originally provided the foundation for Western-type education and health infrastructures to the post-colonial period when it played a key role in shaping national leaders and encouraging moral governance, is traced. The methodology employs a qualitative historical analysis, utilising primary and secondary sources such as missionary records, archival documents, and academic literature.  Through institutions like the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the church speaks out for political justice, peace, and national cohesion. It has equally been at the forefront of alleviating poverty and social inequality, contributing to nation-building through its charitable initiatives and the establishment of hospitals and schools. The challenges of modern times range from the commercialisation of religion to tensions between different religious groups, which most often make it quite hard for the church to effectively take on its role in fostering national unity. It is still growing in its role, with an ever-increasing incorporation of SDGs in the church's ministries contributing to social justice, gender equality, and sustainable development. The survey has, therefore, emphasised the continued relevance of the church's role in resolving biting social problems in Nigeria and offers reflections on its prospects for national development.

Abstract

Beyond its function as a place of worship, the mosque can also serve as a centre for managing philanthropic funds to support economic welfare. This study aims to examine how economical support activities from mosque-managed funds, such as zakat, infaq, and shodaqoh, contribute to socioeconomic development and poverty alleviation. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the findings reveal that fund distribution, either institutional or individual, has adapted to technological advancements, including such a program at Al-Falah Grand Mosque, Sragen, Indonesia, to distribute rice weekly to local beneficiaries using a card-based ATM system. Despite limited resources, it contributes positively to social welfare and quality of life improvement. Selain berfungsi sebagai tempat ibadah, masjid juga berperan sebagai pusat pengelolaan dana filantropi guna mendukung kesejahteraan ekonomi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana kegiatan ekonomi yang didanai oleh masjid, seperti zakat, infaq, dan shodaqoh, dapat mendorong pertumbuhan sosial ekonomi dan pengentasan kemiskinan. Menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyaluran dana dilakukan secara langsung maupun melalui lembaga, serta telah beradaptasi dengan perkembangan teknologi. Salah satunya adalah program ATM Beras di Masjid Al-Falah Sragen yang menyalurkan beras secara berkala kepada mustahik dengan sistem kartu. Meskipun dana terbatas, program ini memberikan kontribusi positif terhadap peningkatan kesejahteraan dan kualitas hidup masyarakat sekitar.

Abstract

This article primarily aims to explore the career of Mīr Ghiyāṯ-al-Dīn Shīrāzī by examining his identity and contributions to the ‛Ādil Shāhī Sultanate in Medieval Deccan. This study ameliorates the qualitative research methodology that focuses on the identity and the agency of individuals as a major factor that plays a significant role in shaping the personality and achieving the targets even when the opponent group of different backgrounds challenged and fiercely opposed. This research found Shīrāzī’s career very significant as it helps us in understanding the migration of elites and the networks of intellectuals within the medieval Persianate worlds that fostered new political and cultural prospects in premodern Deccan.  It discovered extreme disagreements among nobles having diverse identities that derived them to play identity politics in order to ascertain their interests in premodern Deccan. The identity politics gave birth to the emergence of factionalism and sectarianism in the imperial court of the ‛Ādil Shāhī Sultanate. Consequently, ‛Ādil Shāhī rulers had to make state policies taking influences of the dominant group into their consideration. Accordingly, nobles used to adjust their loyalty and support in accordance to the rulers’ ideology and policies. In this context, the identity politics made a ruler and his noble interdependent. This study revealed that the regional identity was more effective than the politics of religious identity in premodern South Asia.
