Abstract

The phenomenon of sexual violence in Indonesia requires special attention, given its nearly uniform prevalence across all provinces. This study aims to analyze the experiences of sexual violence survivors within the Save Your Mental (SYM) community using Gayatri Spivak’s feminist approach. The method employed is qualitative-descriptive, with data collected through interviews and observations of the community founder, Romayana Sari, and two community members. Data were analyzed using Spivak’s subaltern theory to understand the dynamics of marginalization, discrimination, and social construction experienced by survivors. The results of the study indicate that sexual violence, mental health disorders, and bullying are the main issues faced by SYM members. These findings show how the community supports the trauma recovery process and rebuilding survivors’ self-confidence. This study also recommends further exploring other members’ experiences and using alternative theories to enrich the analysis and provide contextually relevant solutions for victims. Thus, this research contributes to efforts to strengthen understanding of sexual violence experiences and the importance of empowering survivors through a humanistic and critical approach.

Abstract

The Quarter Life Crisis phenomenon generally occurs between the ages of 20 and 30, when individuals feel depressed and anxious about their future, including their career, social relationships, and personal life. During this phase, individuals often feel that their lives are controlled by fate and cannot be changed. The concept of suffering in this study is seen as a physical and psychological experience involving mental reactions to external conditions. This study aims to understand the essence of suffering and the process of self-transcendence among UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya students experiencing the Quarter Life Crisis phase. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations of respondents who met the criteria of age, experience of suffering, and involvement in social organizations. Wong’s Self-Transcendence Theory analyzes how individuals can overcome suffering by focusing on positive aspects of their lives and finding meaning through self-reflection and meaningful activities. The results of this study indicate that suffering experienced during the Quarter Life Crisis can serve as a means for self-reflection and improving the quality of life, as well as helping individuals achieve a higher level of understanding of their life goals and spiritual relationships.

Abstract

The concept of virginity is often viewed as a valuable asset before marriage, which is highlighted in social discourse involving religion, culture, and morality. In patriarchal societies, female virginity is often considered a symbol of self-worth, while male virginity receives less attention. Women who engage in sexual intercourse for the first time often face social judgment and stigma, while their rights to understand and interpret their bodies are often ignored. This phenomenon reflects restrictions on women’s roles and rights within the social structure. This study aims to analyze how the value of virginity is perceived in traditional society, specifically in Kandangan Village, Trucuk Subdistrict, Bojonegoro District. Using Simone de Beauvoir's existentialist feminism theory as a theoretical framework, this research employs a descriptive-qualitative research method with data analysis from interviews, books, field notes, photos, and videos. The findings reveal that societal views on virginity play a significant role in reinforcing gender inequality, with women often facing social judgment and exclusion. Despite differing perspectives between religious leaders and the general public, the concept of virginity remains a symbol of injustice that disadvantages women.

Abstract

The phenomenon of LGBT content on Ragil Mahardika’s YouTube channel has sparked various reactions in Indonesian society, particularly on social media. This article aims to examine this content from a religious perspective and analyze it using Michel Foucault’s concept of power. Through a qualitative approach based on literature review and critical discourse analysis, this study finds that Ragil utilizes social media to build legitimacy for the LGBT community in Indonesia, employing power strategies involving normalization, regulation, production, and diffusion of influence. The findings indicate that power is not only repressive but also productive, reflected in content production and the formation of public opinion. However, religious responses—particularly from Islam—function as a form of resistance against normalization efforts, affirming that religious teachings remain an ideological force that rejects LGBT behavior. This study emphasizes the dynamic relationship between digital content, power, ideology, and resistance. Therefore, strengthening religious understanding among the younger generation is necessary to maintain the integrity of moral values amid the rapid flow of global information.

Abstract

This article examines the internal contestation among Indonesian Alawiyyin (commonly known as habaib) in defining and actualizing manhaj kasru saif—a term signifying approaches to Islamic preaching. The Alawiyyin community has become polarized between two dominant tendencies: one advocating a soft, courteous style of da’wah, and another embracing a confrontational, politicized posture often grounded in claims of genealogical superiority. This divergence is deeply rooted in the historical marginalization of peranakan Hadhrami under colonial segregation, which has shaped contemporary identity discourses. Drawing upon socio-historical analysis and library research, the article explores how differing interpretations of the concept of kafā’ah (social and genealogical parity) contribute to internal tensions regarding religious authority, public engagement, and communal representation. The findings suggest that the debate over manhaj kasru saif reflects a broader struggle over religious identity, political relevance, and the negotiation of inherited authority in postcolonial Indonesia.

Abstract

Death is an inevitable reality in human life. This article examines the concept of death from the perspective of two Indonesian Muslim scholars, Jalaluddin Rakhmat and Komaruddin Hidayat, focusing on an optimistic spiritual framework. Through a qualitative method based on a literature study and comparative-critical analysis of the works Memaknai Kematian (Understanding Death) and Psikologi Kematian (The Psychology of Death), this study finds that both agree that death is a process of self-purification towards spiritual perfection. Rakhmat emphasizes death as the beginning of self-purification, while Hidayat sees it as the culmination of a purification process that takes place during life on earth. Although they share the view of death as a transition to purity, there are differences in the emphasis on the meaning of the process. This study shows that a constructive interpretation of death can inspire hope, strengthen spiritual awareness, and inspire readiness to face death with serenity. Thus, this article enriches the discourse of contemporary Islamic thought on the meaning of death as a noble existential transformation.

Abstract

This study endeavors to delve into the discourse surrounding natural disasters in Indonesia, as portrayed on the YouTube channel @NajwaShihab, employing the critical discourse analysis framework introduced by Teun A. van Dijk. Van Dijk’s methodology is applied to elucidate the construction of discourse and its ramifications within a broader socio-cultural milieu, facilitating an in-depth exploration of the meanings and social implications inherent within the discourse. Natural disasters represent imminent threats or consequences stemming from natural phenomena, which may be exacerbated by human activity, posing risks to both human life and the environment. Three select videos from the @NajwaShihab YouTube channel serve as the focal point of examination in this study. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach, the findings of the analysis unveil a comprehensive portrayal of natural disasters in Indonesia through the lens of Islamic perspectives, employing universally accessible language to engage the audience.

Abstract

Patriarchy is a social structure deeply rooted in Indonesian culture, influencing various aspects of life, including education, economy, and politics. This study aims to analyze how Gita Savitri, through her YouTube channel, constructs a critical discourse against patriarchal culture, using Qāsim Amīn's feminist paradigm as a framework for analysis. This research uses qualitative methods through a literature review and critical discourse analysis of the video content produced by Gita. The results show that Gita utilizes digital media as an alternative space to voice gender equality and criticize the normalization of injustice against women. The rhetorical strategies used include raising awareness, deconstructing stereotypes, and affirming women’s autonomy. This study finds that although digital spaces often reproduce patriarchal power relations, social media can also be an effective arena for resistance, particularly among urban Muslim youth. Thus, this research expands the study of digital feminism in Indonesia and highlights the importance of utilizing new platforms to achieve more inclusive and egalitarian social and religious transformation.

Abstract

Happiness is a universal goal that humans have pursued throughout history. This study compares the concepts of happiness according to Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī in Kīmiyā’ al-Sa‘ādah and the concept of Ikigai in Japanese tradition. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines the similarities and differences between the two concepts based on text analysis and literature review. Al-Ghazālī emphasizes that true happiness is achieved through the purification of the soul, self-knowledge, and closeness to God. In contrast, Ikigai emphasizes the achievement of balance between personal satisfaction, social contribution, and life purpose. The results of this study indicate that both concepts are based on the importance of self-knowledge, building social relationships, and finding meaning in life as a path to happiness. The fundamental difference lies in their orientation: al-Ghazālī emphasizes the transcendental aspect of Allah, while Ikigai is more pragmatic in optimizing one’s potential in the world. This study underscores the importance of a holistic approach to happiness, which integrates spiritual values and everyday human life and opens the door to cross-cultural dialogue in understanding human well-being more comprehensively.

Abstract

 This study investigates the growing visibility of transgender individuals in contemporary Indonesia and the complex moral, social, and religious tensions it provokes, particularly among Muslim scholars (ulama). As transgender identities gain increasing representation—especially through media and entertainment—they challenge prevailing religious norms and raise questions about the boundaries of moral authority in Islam. This research asks how influential figures such as Abdul Somad, Buya Yahya, and Gus Baha’ frame and interpret transgender existence within their theological discourses, and what these interpretations reveal about the broader Islamic moral response to gender nonconformity. To deepen the analysis, the study also draws on Søren Kierkegaard’s existentialist framework—specifically his concepts of the aesthetic, ethical, and religious stages of life—as a philosophical lens through which the inner struggle of transgender identity can be understood. Using qualitative library research, this paper finds that Indonesian ulama predominantly construct transgender identity as a deviation from Islamic principles, while Kierkegaard’s existential stages offer an alternative understanding that situates transgender experience as a tension between self-expression and spiritual surrender.
