Abstract

This study aims to see and analyze the strategy of Islamic Higher Education in Indonesia to counter the radical extremes of religious understanding. Based on a survey conducted to get the new students’ responses and an in-depth interview to the campus policymakers, the study results show the potential growth of radical religious understanding in the student environment. The potential is at the level of religious thought or understanding. Although the percentage looks small (10-15 percent), it certainly can grow if left unchecked. In addition, what should be recognized is that students can embrace radical ideology before their entrance to the university, not because of it. In response, the university also took preventive steps through enforcing several policies, such as holding curriculum reviews, performing educator supervision and evaluation, and monitoring and evaluating student activities. However, there are still several obstacles in implementing the policy of preventing radical ideologies from growing wider at IAIN (now UIN) Surakarta, such as monitoring student activities outside the campus and imposing uniformity in implementing the policies at the Faculty and Department level.

Abstract

This study examined the role and actions of the Chinese Muslim community in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia, embodied through an organization called the Indonesian Chinese Islamic Association and the Haji Muhammad Cheng Hoo Indonesia Foundation. Through these two organizations, Chinese Muslims demonstrated anti-mainstream Islamic expressions. They did not so reveal Islamic style, which entirely dominated in rituals and ceremonials. Still, they articulated Islam through social movements to adapt and gain legitimacy from the local Muslims and attract non-Muslim Chinese sympathies on Islam. Based on a qualitative approach, this study found out that by maintaining cultural identity as Chinese, this community ensured that being a good Muslim was not in binary opposition by being authentic Chinese. The experience of the Chinese Muslim community in Surabaya determined that theology was not only a religious issue but also a social problem. Chinese Muslim social theology in Surabaya is an expression of cosmopolitan Islam and successfully well integrated with an inclusive Chinese identity. Social theology demonstrated two dimensions dialectically-integral, the harmonious fusion of Islamic inclusivism and active participation in overcoming various social problems

Abstract

This article aims to revisit the understanding of the concept of syncretic Javanese Islam, which scholars have much debated. From the genealogical search for the syncretic Javanese Islamic concept produced by missionaries and orientalists; mapping of the academic representations of Javanese Islam produced by recent scholars; up to an explanation of the theoretical approach used to discuss the concept of syncretism. Based on selected literature sources, the results show that the syncretic Javanese Islamic concept formulated by missionaries and orientalists tends to be highly theological due to the Christian framework used. They were especially concerned about the universality of religion, the evolution of civilization, the hierarchy of religions, and the purity of religious doctrine. Recent scholars also tend to have inherited this conception of Javanese Islam. They constantly debated the ‘true’ or the ‘purity’ of Javanese Islam, thus resulting in the two dominantly opposing views. The intensity of the cultural encounter and the necessity of syncretism requires a more robust theoretical approach to obtain a more precise understanding of syncretism.

Abstract

This study aims to examine and analyze the concept of Shari’a contemplation in Sufism. It will show the importance of the synergy between Shari’a and Haqiqa dimensions in Sufism. This article is a literature-based study in which the data were collected from various literature, documentation, and other related sources. This study revealed that the concept of Shari’a contemplation in Sufism is a method of spiritual journey wherein someone practicing amaliah, teachings, and Sufistic life does not leave the commands of the Shari’a. The aspect of the Shari’a must be mature and still preserved with his intense closeness to Allah SWT. Contemplation of Shari›a as one of the spiritual practices emphasizes the importance of meditation and emptying the mind from everything except Allah SWT. Thus, a Salik is still obliged to carry out the Shari›a responsibilities and other obligations as a servant of Allah. In other words, contemplation is not limited to meditation physically but also inwardly, in the form of emptying everything except Allah and transforming ethical and aesthetic values into the practice of contemplation.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly shifted people’s behavior in various aspects of life. As a contemporary discourse, pandemic needs to be understood with a more comprehensive approach. This article contains two common perspectives on pandemics: naturalistic perspective, which views pandemics either as individual microscopic entities or as a life process; and socio-constructivist, which views pandemics as non-natural disasters and public discourse consensus. The second view is getting more public attention because of its closeness to sociological experiences amid information uncertainty, which formed from the prevalence of disinformation, fake news, knowledge vulnerabilities, and society’s digital-virtual freedom. However, there is also undeniable confusion about information or particular political interests from government authorities or the scientific community. The post-truth dimension also influences the socio-epistemic constellation of society in understanding the pandemic. This article aims to open a scientific-philosophical discussion and produce an epistemological framework for understanding the pandemic based on a more rigorous epistemological review and then can be a post-pandemic policy consideration.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the social action of the Muhammadiyah movement in Wakatobi, Southeast Sulawesi. It is qualitative research, with the data obtained through in-depth interviews with key informants, field observations, and related documents, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman paradigm. The results conclude that the social action of the Muhammadiyah movement in Wakatobi was in the form of educational services for a marginalized community in Bajo Mola and Kaledupa is still only a moral appeal. An appeal to the community to jointly educate and empower the community. From the analysis conducted, especially on the steps of a movement, the social action of the Muhammadiyah movement has not fully implemented the concept of Al-ma’un theology. Social service in education only touches the charitable dimension, while the empowerment aspect has not received attention. This reality is closely related to the resource capacity of Muhammadiyah Wakatobi. To fulfill the ideal concept of Al-Ma’un’s theology, Muhammadiyah in Wakatobi should build intensive collaboration and communication with various institutions and involve the local community.

Abstract

Over the decades, there has been a growing understanding that emphasizes the separation between facts and values. Science is considered not to have the authority to answer questions related to morality. This article tries to offer a different argument emphasizing that science must have a role in answering various essential and urgent problems faced by many countries, namely, religious fundamentalism. This article offers a new synthesis of these relations based on the dialectical concept of two theories related to science and religion. Based on fiqh and the concept of maslahah, which have been the foundation for applying Islamic law, this article shows the positive relationship and the need for reconciliation between science and religion (Islam). Science turns out to offer an alternative solution, especially when there is the impossibility of separating religion and state. Reconciliation of science and religion (Islam) can contribute to the democratization process of Muslim countries without destroying Islamic religious values. The principle used is the concept of maslahah, whose focus orientation is for the common good.
