Abstract

This article explores the concept of religious moderation as articulated within the framework of Risalah Islam Berkemajuan (Progressive Islamic Mission), a key ideological formulation of Muhammadiyah that emphasizes rationality, tolerance, social ethics, and engagement with modernity. The study aims to understand how this framework constructs religious moderation not merely as a theological posture, but also as a socially embedded discourse shaped by historical and epistemological contexts. To deepen the analysis, Karl Mannheim’s theory of sociology of knowledge is employed as a theoretical lens. Mannheim’s insight into the relationship between thought and social location allows for a critical reading of how Muhammadiyah’s Risalah Islam Berkemajuan responds to socio-political challenges, especially in pluralistic societies. This article argues that religious moderation in this context functions both as a normative ideal and as a strategic socio-religious construct that reflects the dynamic interplay between ideology and social structure. Through this approach, the study highlights the epistemic foundations and sociological relevance of religious moderation in contemporary Islamic discourse.

Abstract

The concept of self-healing has become a rapidly growing social discourse, in line with socio-cultural changes influenced by capitalism and technological advances. Capitalism encourages individuals to exceed physical and mental limits in pursuit of professional achievement, leading to accumulated stress and mental health disorders. On the other hand, technological advances have facilitated access to information that can exacerbate social comparisons. Although the term self-healing is often associated with temporary activities such as vacationing or shopping, these often only provide momentary happiness without delving into spiritual healing. This article examines the concept of self-healing in Hamka’s Tafsir al-Azhar, which integrates spiritual dimensions into religious practices such as dhikr, prayer, patience, and gratitude. This study uses a qualitative approach with textual analysis to link Hamka's understanding of spiritual healing with contemporary psychological concepts such as mindfulness, emotional regulation, and gratitude. The results of this study indicate that Hamka’s approach to self-healing can build a dialogue between Islamic spirituality and modern psychological methods, opening up the potential for developing a more comprehensive and applicable approach to spiritual healing for contemporary Muslim communities.

Abstract

This article examines the dynamics of urban Sufism in the millennial era through a case study of the Copler Community in Surabaya led by Gus Muhammad Nur el-Yaqin al-Ishaqi (Gus Nico). Using a qualitative case study method, this research explores the adaptation of Sufi teachings in facing the challenges of modernity and changes in the lifestyle of urban youth. Data was collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and a literature review. The findings reveal that urban Sufism serves as a strategic alternative in fostering religiosity amid the dominance of instant and secular culture. The Copler Community functions as a transformative space where practices such as dhikr, reading manāqib, and mawlid are integrated with a communicative approach that resonates with the younger generation. Participation in these activities contributes significantly to behavioral changes among community members, strengthening spiritual bonds and social solidarity. These findings emphasize the importance of urban Sufism as a form of spiritual revitalization in the context of modern urban life and open new possibilities for more inclusive and contextual approaches to da‘wah among millennials.
Contesting Gendered Authority in Islamic Discourse: A Comparative Discourse of Hibah Ra’ūf ‘Izzat and Siti Musdah Mulia on the Legitimacy of Women’s Leadership Mumayyizah, Siti; Slamet Muliono Redjosari

Abstract

This study critically analyzes the differences in the views of Hibah Ra’ūf ‘Izzat and Siti Musdah Mulia regarding women’s leadership from the perspective of contemporary Islamic thought. Using a qualitative method through comparative analysis of primary and secondary texts, this study examines the theological, legal, and sociopolitical dimensions that shape the argumentative framework of each figure. Both agree on the principle of gender equality but take different approaches: Ra’ūf ‘Izzat operates within the framework of normative fiqh while offering selective reinterpretations that allow women’s participation in public spaces based on competence, whereas Musdah Mulia advocates a transformative and emancipatory approach, firmly rejecting patriarchal interpretations and emphasizing the values of justice, equality, and humanity in the Quran as the basis for leadership legitimacy. The findings of this study reveal the dynamics between reformist moderation and structural criticism in contemporary Islamic studies. Its contribution lies in strengthening the discourse on women’s leadership based on Islamic spiritual ethics and modern civil rights, as well as opening up space for reflection on the role of women in the political and religious structures of the Muslim community.

Abstract

This article explores gender-based verbal aggressiveness on the Instagram account @gitasav through the lens of Ibn Miskawayh’s ethical framework. It addresses two central questions: What is the nature of verbal aggressiveness on Gita Savitri’s Instagram account, and how can this gender-laden verbal aggressiveness be examined through Ibn Miskawayh’s Islamic ethical perspective? The study adopts a qualitative approach, employing netnography as a method to gather data by downloading and preserving posts and digital traces. Netnography allows the researcher to observe social phenomena within the digital realm. The findings indicate that Ibn Miskawayh’s ethics strongly discourage gender-based verbal aggression. While Ibn Miskawayh does not explicitly discuss aggression in his ethical discourse, his concepts of goodness, happiness, and virtue offer a framework for ethical conduct. This article posits that individuals should strive to maintain a balanced and flexible demeanor across various contexts, as moral virtue is often found in the middle ground between two extremes.

Abstract

Religious harmony in Indonesia has become an important issue amid ongoing social dynamics. Based on Jorge Gracia’s hermeneutic approach, this study examines the phenomenon of Kristen Muhammadiyah (Krismuha)—harmonious interactions between Christian and Muhammadiyah communities in Muhammadiyah educational environments in non-Muslim-majority areas. The method used is descriptive-qualitative with text analysis techniques applied to the work Kristen Muhammadiyah by Abdul Mu’ti and Fajar Riza Ul Haq. The study results indicate that interactions between Muhammadiyah and the Christian community in the field of education occur without theological coercion but are based on sociological relationships that uphold openness, comfort, and respect for each other’s identities. These findings affirm that the inclusive pluralism model promoted by Muhammadiyah is capable of building interfaith trust through education. Gracia’s hermeneutic approach demonstrates a balance between the interpretation of normative Islamic texts and the pluralistic social context faced by Muhammadiyah. The Krismuha phenomenon contributes to interfaith diplomacy at the grassroots level, strengthening social cohesion and enriching Indonesia’s living laboratory of pluralism. This study recommends the development of similar models to expand the scope of interfaith harmony in Indonesia.

Abstract

Contemporary has been revitalized through Neo-Sufism, which offers spiritual solutions to the crisis of meaning in modern society. This study uses a qualitative approach based on a literature review and biographical analysis to trace the dynamics of Kiai Agoes Ali Masyhuri’s (Gus Ali) thought. The analysis reveals that Gus Ali creatively adapts the principles of al-Ghazālī’s Sufism to address contemporary spiritual and social challenges. Gus Ali’s Neo-Sufism emphasizes the importance of active engagement in society, the strenghtening of values of nobility, well-being, and peace, as well as the utilization of digital technology in da‘wah. He integrates spirituality into daily life without getting caught up in mystical exclusivism, encouraging practical reflection and positive contributions to social life. This study affirms that neo-Sufism not only preserves the spiritual roots of Islam but also demonstrates its adaptive capacity in facing the changes of the times. Thus, Gus Ali’s approach enriches the discourse on Islamic renewal form below, affirming the continuity and relevance of the Islamic spritual heritage in the modern era.

Abstract

Studies on women in Islam continue to evolve despite having long been a focus of academic attention. In hadith studies, there remains a tendency toward interpretations that demean women, contradicting the original spirit of Islam, which upholds the dignity and equality of the sexes. This article examines the narratives of Muslim women in the book Sister Fillah, You’ll Never Be Alone by Kalis Mardiasih using Erich Fromm’s psycho-humanistic theory. The focus of the study includes the identity, role, and status of women in the modern socio-religious context, including resistance to gender-biased religious interpretations. The method used is qualitative text analysis with Fromm’s theoretical approach to explore women’s existential needs in the form of autonomy, freedom, belonging, and understanding of their normative rights. The results of the study show that through education and self-awareness, women can rediscover their humanity, which has been obscured by the patriarchal system. This book emphasizes the importance of valuing women’s bodies, the right to education, and recognition of women’s existence as whole human beings. With this approach, this article contributes to strengthening the discourse on gender justice in Islam through a reflective and contextual humanistic lens.

Abstract

The phenomenon of stereotypes against women who wear the niqab is still prevalent among students, particularly at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya (UINSA). The niqab, which is generally associated with a religious symbol, is often misunderstood and linked to negative images, especially those related to radical groups and terrorism. This study aims to reveal how stereotypes toward women wearing the niqab are formed among UINSA students and to analyze the differences in the actual meaning of the niqab symbol. Using symbolic interactionism theory, this study examines the differences between the campus community’s perceptions of the niqab and the personal reasons held by women who wear it. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with in-depth interviews and observations of students who are the research subjects and women who wear the niqab as the research subjects. The study results indicate that the stereotypes developed among UINSA students are more influenced by a lack of understanding of the meaning behind wearing the niqab, which often differs from the general perceptions that have developed in the campus community. This study is expected to contribute to correcting misunderstandings and strengthening a more inclusive understanding of religious symbols in the social context of Indonesia.

Abstract

As a country with six officially recognized religions, Indonesia faces significant challenges in fostering interfaith harmony amidst its diversity. One factor influencing this dynamic is the role of social media, which can be used to promote religious tolerance and create spaces for interfaith dialogue. As a popular social media platform, YouTube has become an important medium for presenting interfaith dialogue content that encourages diversity awareness. One YouTube channel offering such content is Daniel Mananta’s channel, with his program “Daniel Tetangga Kamu” (Daniel, Your Neighbour), which features interfaith dialogue. This study aims to analyze how religion and interfaith dialogue are represented in the program, using Stuart Hall’s theory of representation. This study examines five video podcasts containing interfaith dialogue with guests from various religious backgrounds, selected based on the highest number of viewers during the 2021-2022 period. The results indicate that Daniel Mananta presents four typologies in depicting religion: inclusivism, pluralism, eclecticism, and universalism, reflecting a tolerant attitude toward religious differences within Indonesian society.
