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.

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

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

The spread of takfiri ideology—rooted in the historical legacy of the Khawarij and Wahhabi movements—has contributed significantly to religious radicalism, threatening the internal unity of Muslims and disrupting broader social harmony. As a representative of moderate Sunni Islam (Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamā‘ah), Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) has responded proactively to this challenge, particularly through its digital platform, NU Online. This study examines how NU Online constructs an anti-takfiri discourse using the semiotic theory of Charles Sanders Peirce. Applying Peirce’s triadic model—which includes the signifier (the sign), the object and the interpreter—this research analyses the signs and meanings embedded in NU’s digital content aimed at deconstructing takfiri rhetoric. Using a qualitative literature-based approach, this study finds that NU's digital messages consistently emphasize the principles of Islamic moderation, critical thinking, and a tolerant national identity. This communication strategy challenges extremist interpretations and reinforces a theological framework emphasizing peace and inclusivity while demonstrating how religious semiotics can function as a tool of ideological resistance in the digital age.

Abstract

The concept of happiness is an intriguing topic, with various interpretations from each individual. Some people associate happiness with material wealth, social status, or academic achievement, while others find happiness through simple experiences. This concept of happiness, which has been debated since ancient times, was initially more often associated with hedonism, namely the pursuit of pleasure as the goal of life. However, true happiness does not lie in external factors, but rather comes from within the human being. The pursuit of happiness that depends on external factors often leads to dissatisfaction and is temporary. This article examines Sheikh Nawāwī al-Bantānī’s view of happiness, which states that true happiness is possessed by those who have awareness of the heart, patience of the body, and gratitude for all that they have. This study uses Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic theory to understand Sheikh Nawāwī’s thoughts on happiness, emphasizing the importance of historical and linguistic context in text interpretation. The results show that, according to Sheikh Nawāwī, happiness is achieved through patience, awareness of Allah’s presence, and a deep sense of qanā‘ah towards all His gifts.
