Abstract

Majelis Taklim (MT) constitutes the most significant non-formal Islamic educational institution in Indonesia, functioning as a primary platform for religious instruction, moral formation, and communal cohesion, particularly within the context of Muslim urban society development. Amid escalating religious polarization and the proliferation of extremist ideologies in urban spaces, MT holds considerable potential for consolidating Wasatiyyah Islam (Islamic moderation). However, existing scholarship has predominantly addressed MT's general sociological functions, leaving a substantive gap in understanding the specific methodological and ethical mechanisms through which moderation is cultivated in practice. Employing a qualitative-normative approach, this study proposes an integrated three-pillars framework for institutionalizing Wasatiyyah within MT. The framework centers on three interrelated dimensions: genealogical rootedness in classical Islamic tradition, reflective pedagogical methodologies, and the ethical integrity of religious instructors as constitutive mechanisms through which moderation is systematically cultivated and sustained to support sustainable urban social cohesion.

Abstract

The phenomenon of the hijrah movement among urban millennials has transformed the landscape of religiosity in the urban public sphere. This study aims to analyze the transformation of religious identity among urban millennials and examine how they negotiate that identity within the context of urban modernity. Employing a qualitative method with Alfred Schutz's phenomenological approach, this research explores the subjective experiences of hijrah participants in major Indonesian cities (Jakarta and Bandung) during the period from January to December 2025. Data were collected through offline participant observation within hijrah communities, in-depth interviews with six key informants, and netnographic research conducted on Instagram and TikTok. The findings reveal three major themes. First, the transformation of religious identity is driven by because-motives rooted in social anomie and in-order-to motives oriented toward the search for moral certainty. Second, religious identity has shifted from the private to the public sphere through forms of religious aesthetics that are integrated into the lifestyle of the Muslim middle class. Third, the netnographic findings confirm that digital technology has fostered the emergence of digital piety, in which the validation of religious devotion increasingly takes place within virtual spaces. This study concludes that the hijrah movement among urban millennials represents a dynamic adaptation of Muslim identity, giving rise to a new subculture that integrates religious orthodoxy with capitalist modernity while simultaneously reinforcing the process of desecularization in the urban public sphere.

Abstract

Rapid urbanization in Indonesia has significantly transformed the spatial needs of Muslim communities. This study examines the role of spatial planning in shaping the development of urban Muslim societies through a comparative analysis of Jakarta and Bandung. The research investigates how spatial planning policies influence the distribution, accessibility, and socio-religious functions of mosques and other religious facilities.,Employing a qualitative desk study approach, the research analyzes secondary data from national and regional spatial planning regulations, official demographic and religious statistics, and relevant scholarly literature. The analysis integrates global urban theories with the Islamic normative framework of maqashid sharia and spatial justice. The findings reveal notable disparities between the two cities. While Jakarta has a larger absolute number of mosques, Bandung demonstrates a higher ratio of religious facilities per population and relatively better spatial integration. However, both cities face challenges of land scarcity, commercialization pressures, and uneven distribution, particularly in high-density and informal settlements. These conditions indicate that current spatial planning has not yet optimally functioned as socio-religious infrastructure. This study concludes that spatial planning must be repositioned as a transformative instrument that integrates ethical values and social justice.  By bridging maqashid sharia with spatial justice concepts, the research offers a new perspective for more inclusive urban planning in Muslim-majority cities. The findings contribute to both theoretical discourse on Islamic urbanism and practical policy recommendations for equitable spatial development in Indonesia and similar Global South contexts

Abstract

DKI Jakarta faces increasingly complex environmental problems, including annual floods, air pollution that is classified as hazardous, waste crisis, land subsidence, and degradation of green open spaces. As a city with a majority Muslim population, DKI Jakarta holds great potential in environmental management based on Islamic values and the local wisdom of urban Muslim communities. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of urban environmental problems in DKI Jakarta and identify the strategies of urban Muslim communities in responding to the crisis through a local wisdom approach. The method used is qualitative research with a case study approach and community ethnography. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with 45 key informants consisting of mosque administrators, community leaders, Muslim environmental activists, and residents, and focus group discussions in three areas of DKI Jakarta (North Jakarta, West Jakarta, and South Jakarta). The results of the study show that the urban Muslim community in DKI Jakarta has developed a mosque-based environmental management model, integrating the values of fiqh al-bi'ah (environmental fiqh), the concept of caliph fil ardh, amanah, and mizan in daily practice. Featured programs include mosque waste banks, mosque community-based urban agriculture, ablution water management for irrigation, and post-Friday tree planting movements. These findings indicate that the integration of Islamic local wisdom with modern environmental programs can be an effective model of sustainable urban environmental management.

Abstract

Modern living is characterised by innumerable sources of vivacity, whether conventional or self-induced, to ensure living is lively. This parallel quest is sought for vehemently, even if it must be at the expense of expending finances to ensure this lively apparatus is at our disposal. This has exacerbated the increasing growth of the entertainment industry in the present milieu. Unarguably, one of the leading sales points of the entertainment industry is Humour creation. Popular content creators, skit makers, and seasoned movies, to name a few, are in consonance of generating comic artifacts. If not professionally managed and regulated, this quest for vivacity can end up serving as a thief of sanity: society, which is hitherto known as the joint juncture of individuals to discuss pressing issues and source common ground solutions, has grown copiously fragmented and delineated by a hypothetical "mind my business" ordeal. Humorous phenomena continue to gain commercial patronage and unwavering importance, deteriorating the egalitarian de facto as established by Islamic dictates, a dynamic with direct bearing on the development of Muslim urban society, where mosques, preachers, and Muslim content creators increasingly compete for attention within the same digital economy that commodifies laughter. Using a qualitative, case-study, and hermeneutic-evaluative design, this research critically analyses the implications of the far-reaching, widespread commercialisation of humour, highlighting the Islamic perspective and precepts on the foregoing through case studies and qualitative surveys, and providing palpable recommendations for content creators, preachers, and audiences within Muslim urban communities.
