Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyse the relationship between religious groups, societies, and governments, as well as strategies for managing religious conflict, with a case study of the Ja'fariyah Shi'a minority group in Moya, Ternate. The Shi'a community led by Nawawi Husni, according to the Jema'ah Ahlul Bait Indonesia (IJABI), is considered to have different religious teachings and practices and is judged to be inconsistent with the teachings of the Shi'a in general. In addition to having a layered complexity, the existence of this community is also considered misguided, so it is often the target of the intolerance of other religious groups, even by the local government. Through a qualitative approach using a sociological perspective, the results of this study revealed that the silent (non-reactive) attitude of the Ja'fariyah Shi'a group in responding to various rejections and misconceptions about its group is not passive. Instead, they choose to do "resistance" creatively by using the media to counter negative opinions against them. The choice of this "resistance" model is not separate from the role and position of Husni Nawawi in attracting the government's interests. Consider that the pattern of hard-power conflict approaches must change to the smart-power transformation model.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between Islamist ideology and the birth of a tafsir. Hasan al-Turabi, an Islamic ideologue in Sudan, has a basic view of the Qur'an and his own method of interpretation in al-Tafsir al-Tauhidi. This study discovered that Islamism was perceived as a unified Islamic view based on historical dialectical perspectives and an effective historical analysis. Islamism is defined as a form of application of all Islamic values and principles, particularly in advancing social justice values, based on the perspective that the Qur'an teaches tauhid and that every verse is united. From an effective historical perspective, al-Turabi's pattern of interpretation offers methodological-material criticism of the classical and modern tafsir. His model of interpretation emphasizes the excavation of message elements and is used as a guide for living today. The Qur'an is a set of guidelines not only for faith and worship, but also for all aspects of life. As a result, Qur'anic interpretation must be consistent and founded on Qur'anic fundamental values. The presence of al-Tafsir al-Tauhidi demonstrates that al-Turabi's pattern interpretation is not independent from his intellectual, ideological, and political context in Sudan.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the form of religious fundamentalism displayed through Tablighi Jama'ah’s da’wah movement in Madura and uncovers the rationale for Madura’s community's acceptance of this da’wah movement group. This paper is qualitative research using a case study approach. Data collection was carried out through interviews with some main figures and followers of the group, a series of observations, and documentation of the da’wah activities undergone by the group. The result shows that the Tablighi Jama'ah’s da’wah movement in Madura can be categorized as a puritanical Islamic fundamentalist movement, particularly because it intends to purify faith, sharia, and morals. In contrast to the beliefs of other religious groups, this group prohibits an active and massive use of technology because it is perceived as a direct obstacle to da’wah and is considered full of immorality. This group emphasizes the so-called sunnah appearance, such as using robes, turbans, siwak, cingkrang trousers, and not being engaged in practical politics. Moreover, they also emphasize congregational prayers and the necessity of living a simple life. This paper also signifies that the Madura community accepts the Tablighi Jama'ah because their religious practices are congruently aligned with the teachings of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah. In addition, the acceptance of the Madura community is due to their obedience toward the Kiai, who have previously accepted the Tablighi Jama'ah da’wah activities in Madura.

Abstract

Proper and effective rehabilitation patterns for terrorist criminals remain a critical concern in Indonesian correction institutions. A thorough knowledge of extremism and terrorism remains a barrier to rehabilitation. Despite the significant loss of life resulting from the actions of the perpetrators, they maintain a conviction that their deeds are genuine and aligned with the principles espoused by Islam. The culprits' strong adherence to the imam's authority poses challenges to their willingness to consider perspectives that originate from their external groups. The results of this study showed that the pattern of rehabilitation that has been done has not been done to the fullest extent. This was found by using a qualitative approach and the case study method on the Nusakambangan correction institutions Class IIA, where data is collected through field observations and in-depth interviews with some key informants. The religious comprehension of incarcerated terrorists is deeply extremist. This is attributable, among other things, to the jail's poor quality of human resources in the rehabilitation process, the jail's lack of funds and supplies, and the convicts' inactivity in responding to government programs.

Abstract

Humor is one of the characteristics of the Sundanese people in West Java. This is not only seen in their conversations about everyday matters but also about serious and sacred issues. They sometimes faced these sacred issues by remaining relaxed and laughing. This, for instance, can be seen in the figure of Haji Hasan Mustapa, a Great Penghulu of Kutaraja and Bandung during the Dutch colonial period. This study focuses on the 209 Sundanese anecdotes of Mustapa that his secretary, M. Wangsaatmaja, collected in Boekoe Singa-Bandoeng (1930) and Boekoe Dongeng djeung Tajarita Sadjarah(1932), as well as those collected by Mustapa's admirer, Ajip Rosidi, in Haji Hasan Mustapa's Jeung Karya-karyana(1989). By using the Adjidarma’s humor theory, which mentions three categories of humor: superiority, incongruity, and extrication, the results show that the incongruous humor category predominates in Mustapa's anecdotes. This can be seen in his incongruous expressions about the nature of God that are out of the ordinary. He did not show his superiority as a respected Dutch official, nor did he extricate himself from various tensions and obstacles. This generally relates to the low level of religious knowledge of his interlocutors. Mustapa’s answers were considered weird and out of the ordinary to them. Therefore, it is understandable that among the Sundanese, Mustapa is known as an eccentric ulama.

Abstract

This article tries to critically examine the idea of civil society in light of Indonesia's Islamist politics. This raises the question of how far the idea of a civil society in a democratic country leads to public civility. This is an important question that must be addressed. The Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia (MMI) is the main focus of this article. MMI, one of the most active Islamist organizations founded after the fall of the authoritarian regime of the New Order, develops political frameworks that endanger democracy and public civility. MMI became an organization that advocates for uncivil discourses of Islamic interpretation, thus representing Indonesia's (un)civil society. It is most visible in the organization's views on democracy and its interpretation of the "jihad" doctrine. As a result, the article concludes that the classification of Indonesian civil society should include both civil and (un)civil society. In addition to civil society, Indonesia should include uncivil society, even if their orientation is different. An un-civil society threatens democracy and public civility while civil society is fighting for it.

Abstract

This study aimed to discuss the Tariqa Shattariyya (TS) in the Pariaman-translocal community of Indonesia. TS is an integral part of the life activities associated with these community groups. This research method is qualitative and relies on in-depth observation of the object under study. The perspective used by ethnography seeks to fully describe the Pariaman people who migrate to various regions of Indonesia. This study focused on Medan and Bekasi cities to explore TS and the Pariaman-translocal community. The findings of this study explain that wherever the Pariaman people migrate to Indonesia, the Syattariyah order will constantly be revived and developed there. As an ethno-tariqa, TS was formed by introducing it to the Pariaman culture. Through ethno-tariqa, it determines the identity of the Pariaman-Translocal community in order to constantly connect in their migrations. Therefore, the mission of the Pariaman-Translocal community is to disseminate TS as a “connection tool”  overseas and form a spiritual ethnic community. TS is a “reminder tool” of their hometown used as a reference for their life overseas.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the role of Nahdlatul Ulama Higher Education (PTNU) in Purworejo, Central Java, in relation to counter-extremism and intolerance in Indonesia. This is a qualitative study that focuses on narrative analysis. The data is gathered from various documents and news articles. The data is analyzed using Ernest Gellner's idea of civil society. The results show that PTNU has a significant role in Indonesia’s religious moderation movement through two main strategies. First, the institution's policies, which are aligned with national principles, serve to strengthen moderate ideologies. Second, as part of its tri-dharma commitment, PTNU integrates scientific, Islamic, and Indonesian principles into its curriculum and activities. Thus, this strategy integrates religious moderation systematically, with broad ramifications for academia and society. PTNU is known for combining academic excellence with holistic ideals, making it a center for religious moderation amid Indonesia's multifaceted extremism and intolerance. This study provides new insights on PTNU's role in the religious moderation movement and could inform both domestic and worldwide actions.

Abstract

The global intensification of religionization has raised renewed questions about the validity of the secularization thesis. Research supporting the secularization thesis suggested an alternative perspective, emphasizing the correlation between security levels and religious adherence. It posits that as security levels rise, the reliance on religion diminishes, whereas in contexts of low security, the need for religion intensifies. An examination of the trajectories and dynamics of secularization in Indonesia reveals that among the Muslim middle class, secularization has alleviated feelings of insecurity arising from socio-political crises. Such observations suggest that historical trajectories of religionization are intricately linked to these socio-political dynamics. Furthermore, initiatives by the government and political organizations that endorse religion as a preferred choice expedite this transition towards religionization. This study uses process tracing by dividing the historical process into three periods and comparing them analytically to explain the causal mechanism among modernization, secularization, and religionization.

Abstract

This study attempts to analyze the gender stereotypes embedded in Muslim women as the subject of jokes and blasphemy on Instagram. These stereotypes generally lead to the image of Muslims as arrogant, selfish, troublemakers, and stupid. The study uses a netnographic approach, in which data is obtained through observations of comedy content on Instagram, then analyzed using interactive data models analyzed by Miles, Hubermann, and Saldana. The results of this study found that the stereotype of Muslim women in the virtual space is formed by a gender-biased social construction in the field of fact. This construction was used by content creators as a material to design Instagram content full of jokes and gossip about women. Even the emergence of such stereotypes is driven by the economic motives of the “owners” of the account. It is from here that there is a need to strengthen the self-awareness of content creators in self-imagining and representing women. An egalitarian and non-gender consciousness, both factual and virtual.
