Abstract

This study examines the peripheral area of Sufistic reasoning, where modern humans lose their orientation and cause a psychological crisis through a fundamental philosophical assessment of the weltanschauung as the axis of Sufism spirituality in Islam, focusing on the contemporary perspective of modern society and the construct of Scientia sacra as the weltanschauung of contemporary Muslim spirituality. The study results confirm that the fundamental problem that represents the relationship between spirituality and modern society is the dualism of the ontology-epistemic framework, as a result of the split understanding between Sufism and its pseudo. The Sufis have built the concept of Scientia sacra based on the integration of theosophical reasoning, ascetic praxis, and philosophical nature. This concept is expected to present conceptual-praxis activities described as exclusive mujahadah , trendy, and introvertistic that €œcatharsis€ themselves from the worldly bustle but have communal, philosophical values closely related to the values rahmat al-khalq. The philosophical basis of this movement originated from theosophical reasoning, transformed into praxis asceticism, and developed as philosophical asceticism. These three elements come from the key statement that Sufism is an existential axis for humans, where the crisis of modern humans is the centrifugal motion of that axis. It is what causes the philosophical values in Sufistic teachings to experience turmoil, ending in a cathartic process towards Scientia sacra as the basis of knowledge, metaphysics, and esotericism.

Abstract

This study is an analysis of the Tablighi Jamaat schism in India, various responses, and changes that have occurred to its members in Indonesia. Using a socio-anthropological and historical approach, the results of this study show that the schism that occurred was caused by the conflict over the struggle for the highest authority of the movement of its leaders in India. The fragmentation after the death of In'mul Hasan further sharpened the contestation among its senior members, until the Tablighi Jamaat split into two groups. First, those who declared Maulana Sa'ad as their sole leader and identified themselves as the Nizamuddin group. Secondly, those who supported the international Shura system and identified themselves as the Shura 'Alami group. In Indonesia, these two groups are also developing, building demarcation lines from each other, claiming each other as the authenticity of the truth, and carrying out da'wah in accordance with the directions of their respective elders. After the schism, both of them were transformed into a new organizational structure in accordance with the interests of their respective groups.

Abstract

This article aims to comparatively view the political configuration in Indonesia in the New Order and the Reformation era related to the formation of law in Islamic economics. Recently, Islamic economics has become an issue that has attracted the interest of scholars and economic practitioners as it is the potential to become a large industry. Legal products and several policies were born as evidence of the development of Islamic economic law in Indonesia, such as the Halal Product Guarantee Act, the ratification of Government Regulations regarding the implementation of halal product guarantees, to the merger of conventional banks into shari'ah Banks. These phenomena show that the political configuration in the Reformation era is fertile ground for economic development. Then, what about the Political Configuration in the New Order era? This article is a legal study using historical and political approaches strengthened by legal political theories. The study found that there are different characteristics of Islamic economic law between authoritarian and democratic political configurations. This article emphasizes that the character of Islamic economic law in the New Order era tends to be orthodox; legal control was tightly held by the political elite and must be followed by the community (top-down). Meanwhile, the Reformation era brought the direction of Islamic economic law to responsive legal characteristics. The society holds legal control by making the elites as policymakers for the development of Islamic economic law (bottom-up).

Abstract

This study examines the Hijrah group in Indonesia as a social and theological movement. Except to be a role model, Hijrah is also interpreted as an effort to get closer to Allah. Today, the understanding of the Hijrah values seems to have shifted and formed a polarization of ignorance in religion with the exclusivity of the group's reason. Hijrah principally is not just a matter of strengthening the religious values symbolically, but also the mission of building an open mind on social and religious plurality. This study uses a literary method and phenomenological descriptive and the socio-theological reason approach of Muhammed Arkoun. The results show that a reason can be formed by a structural systematization model of a group. Hijrah is seen as shifting religious labeling, only existing in the crowd that eventually creates a logical deadlock and forms a new social class. As a result, it is clear that the Hijrah group does not offer individual independence but gives birth to a generation with exclusive minded.

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.
