Abstract

Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Crimes of Sexual Violence (UU TPKS) was passed in April 2022 after waiting almost 12 years when it was submitted as an initial draft law to the DPR. Unlike other laws, TPKS Law was designed using a bottom-up system to address the problem of overcoming sexual violence in Indonesia, the number of which increases every year. However, not all regions in Indonesia will use the TPKS Law when cases of sexual violence occur. Aceh Province is the only province that, based on special autonomy, is allowed to have its criminal law called Qanun Jinayat. This research compares the regulations regarding preventing sexual violence contained in TPKS Law and the Aceh Qanun Jinayat. It looks at the threat to the protection of victims of criminal acts, especially victims of criminal acts of sexual violence. This research is normative legal research, which analyzes statutory regulations. The results of the study show that TPKS Law regulates the prevention of sexual violence more comprehensively than the Qanun Jinayat, which requires more comprehensive protection for victims than the Qanun Jinayat. There are also articles in the Qanun Jinayat that tend to cause revictimization, rather than protecting victims.

Abstract

Da’wah preferences among urban Muslim millennials are likely changing recently due to the emergence of figures, namely Bahauddin Nur Salim (Gus Baha) and Habib Husein Ja’far Al-Hadar (Habib Ja’far). Da’wah materials offered by mainstream preachers in urban areas tend to be Salafi. Meanwhile, the two figures’ appearance gave a new color with a traditional Islamic pattern based on the nuances of pesantren. This study aims to examine the changes in da’wah preferences among millennial urban and the reason behind it. Through Stuart Hall’s circuit of culture theory, this study attempts to compare the two figures who became religious authority alternatives through da’wah methods in the stages of content production. This qualitative study is based on previous studies, preachers speeches through YouTube channels. The study shows that urban millennial generations have likely experienced changing preferences in da’wah which was originally consumptive listening to da’wah from several Salafi groups to the alternative moderate groups. Meanwhile, Habib Ja’far might be preferable among youngsters as he has a wider segmentation than Gus Baha.

Abstract

Secularism, dharmanirapekkhta in Bangla, is enshrined in the constitution of Bangladesh as one of the state principles in 1972. It stresses that all religious groups are independent in observing their faiths without fear or restriction. However, in Bangladesh, the concept of secularism has become an issue of contention between secularists and religious groups, particularly among university students. This paper is aimed at investigating the contradictory perspectives of university students on secularism in Bangladesh, as well as understanding the issue from socio-political, cultural, and religious perspectives. This study employed a qualitative research design, including convenience surveys and secondary content analysis, to address the research gap and test a hypothesis regarding the youths’ perception of secularism. The study found a paradoxical view of secularism. The study findings indicate that more than half of the students prefer secularism as one of Bangladesh’s state principles. In contrast, they view secularism negatively from Bangladesh’s socio-economic and political perspectives.

Abstract

Critical Islam is a Muslim discourse that fundamentally questions contemporary Muslim societies, traditions, and cultures in response to the crisis in Muslim societies, amidst the rise in violence, authoritarianism, and foreign military interventions. This school of thought represents a new development in Islamic thought and an attempt to overcome the problems posed by tradition and modernity. This article examined the British-Pakistani intellectual Ziauddin Sardar’s views of critical Islam. My approach, which is based on intellectual history, places his arguments and theses in the context of the intellectual networks in which they originated as well as the developments that have taken place in the Muslim world over the last two centuries. One of the main findings, underlined here, is that Sardar offers an innovative and dual critique of the West and the Muslim tradition from an ethical and epistemic perspective. Additionally, the goal of his critical Islam is to change, pluralize, and end violence in the Muslim world. However, Sardar’s project is elitist and lacks spiritual appeal for the great majority of Muslims. Therefore, it should be interpreted as an intellectual critical engagement with Islam and the West that emphasizes personal emancipation.

Abstract

Micro-celebrities preachers have taken an important part in educating the ummah through Islamic messages while establishing virtual religious authority. Celeb da’i gain strategic space and recognition from the community through religious studies and have the potential to become a reference for religious knowledge. The contestation of virtual religious authority with traditional religious authority as an authoritative source is dynamic, and at the same time fragmentation occurs. This research concentrates on da’i micro-celebrities including Ustadzah Oki Setiana Dewi, Ustad Syam, and Aa Gym. This research is focused on three digital platforms including YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. The time span of this research starts from February to July 2024. The research method uses descriptive qualitative through netnography studies. The finding is that virtual religious authority is illustrated through the digital platform micro-celebrities da’i, which offers a new face of entertainment, adapts to the latest trends, and is solutive in carrying out religious missions.  The power of digital media catapults the popularity and religious influence of celeb da’i in the Islamic cyber environment, further perpetuating virtual religious authority as a source of religious information for the ummah.

Abstract

The use of comics as a medium for conveying religious messages has been present in Indonesia since at least the 1960s. However, few comics have seriously addressed critiques of conservative religious practices. This study aims to describe the critique of religious conservatism in the comic strips on the Instagram account @islamidotco. This research is a descriptive qualitative study. The comics in this study are examined using Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis. The research concludes that the comic strips on the Instagram account islami.co represent a critique of religious conservatism. This is evident in a comic strip depicting a Santa Claus character who is a Muslim and is performing the midday prayer (ẓuhr). The issues discussed in the comic relate to Christmas-related controversies in the Indonesian context, such as debates over Christmas greetings, the prohibition of wearing Christmas attire, and the controversy surrounding Muslims’ giving and receiving of Christmas gifts.

Abstract

This study examines how audience participation on Instagram shapes the dynamics of digital interpretation, particularly through the processes of figuring (affirming meaning) and disfiguring (reinterpretation or critique) in comments on Quranic verse posts. The research is motivated by the shifting paradigm of religious authority in the social media era, where interpretation is no longer monopolized by authoritative figures but openly negotiated and contested by users. The study focuses on two public accounts: @ismaelalkholilie, representing a sufistic-affective style, and @nadirsyahhosen, reflecting a contextual-critical approach. Using a descriptive qualitative method and digital hermeneutics, data were collected through online observation, caption documentation, and analysis of comments on two posts (January–May 2025). Findings show that audiences are active co-interpreters rather than passive recipients. Comments on Ismael’s account are mainly affective and affirm spiritual narratives, while those on Nadirsyah’s account are more reflective, intellectual, and critical. Digital interpretation thus emerges as dialogical, decentralized, and shaped by audience participation.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of Islamic rituals and spirituality among Muslim communities in Southeast Asian coastal regions, where these practices have become an integral part of social and cultural life. The central issue addressed is the lack of comprehensive documentation concerning how these communities understand and practice Islamic spirituality and symbolism in the study of modernization and religious reform. Employing a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods, this study delves into various ritual practices, including Maulid, Tahlil Laut, Sedekah Bumi, Zikir, and daily Wirid. The findings reveal that coastal Muslim communities interpret these rituals as a means of strengthening social solidarity, fostering a transcendent relationship with God, and maintaining harmony with the natural environment, particularly the sea. Spirituality is practiced communally and passed down as part of a living religious habitus. Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice is utilized to analyze the interplay between tradition and change within the community’s social space. This research affirms that Islam in coastal areas is not monolithic but rather contextual, adaptive, and rich in symbolic meaning. The findings contribute to the study of local expressions of Islam and offer new insights into the diversity of religious practices in Southeast Asia.
Reconstructing The Meaning Of Hijab: A Hans-Georg Gadamer's Hermeneutical Analysis Of Abu Syuqqah's Viewpoint In The Book Tahrir Al-Mar’ah Fi ‘Asr Al- Risalah Cholilach, Cholilach; Fata, Zidan Fathoni

Abstract

This article reexamines the construction of the meaning of hijab in Islam through Abu Syuqqah’s perspective in Tahrir al-Mar’ah fi ‘Asr al-Risalah using Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic approach. Unlike interpretations that frame the hijab as a rigid obligation or symbol of restriction, Abu Syuqqah emphasizes its moral and ethical dimensions in social interactions, grounded in a contextual reading of Qur’anic verses al-Ahzāb (33:53, 59) and an-Nūr (24:31). He views the hijab not merely as clothing but as a social tool for preserving dignity while enabling women’s public roles. Employing Gadamer’s four hermeneutical concepts—historical consciousness, pre-understanding, fusion of horizons, and application—the study shows that Abu Syuqqah’s interpretation is shaped by his awareness of tradition, the Prophet’s social context, and contemporary challenges faced by women in Muslim societies. The article concludes that his reconstruction offers a form of social spirituality that integrates textual fidelity with contextual relevance, addressing both classical meanings and modern realities.

Abstract

This study investigates how the LOGIN Season 3 program on Deddy Corbuzier’s YouTube channel fosters the internalization of religious tolerance values among university students. Rising intolerance in public and digital spaces highlights the urgency of da'wah content that promotes inclusivity. Grounded in Syukur & Hermanto’s da'wah content theory and Suyahmo’s concept of tolerance, the research employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were gathered through video content observation, interviews with student viewers, and analysis of audience comments. The findings show that students internalize values such as freedom of religion, interfaith brotherhood, and acceptance of diversity. This process is facilitated by the program’s casual yet substantive communication style, its use of accessible digital platforms, and its inclusive, moderate narratives. Positive engagement in the comment sections further emphasizes its effectiveness. The study concludes that LOGIN offers a contextual and impactful model of digital da'wah, enriching discourse on da'wah theory and demonstrating its potential to cultivate tolerance in a pluralistic society.
