There are many things that have generated interest in Islam in this region, particularly, amongst others, the unique qualities of this 'localized' Islam and the differences between these and those of Islam in other areas, in particular, in the Middle East. Besides this, the develpoment of Islam in the MAlay-Indonesia has passed through some fascinating phases that have not only been creative and dynamic, but have also provided great stimulus fot both religious discourse and religious practices.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v8i3.685

The centre for the Study of Islam and Society (PPIM-CENSIS), based as The State Institute for Islamic Studies (IAIN) Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, continues to develop research programs that contribute to strengthening both the scientific tradition as well as community development in Indonesia. One of our current research programs, undertaken in collaboration with the Ford Foundation, focuses on the issue of good governance in Indonesia. Targeting the Muslim community, this project entails a combination of research, education and publications. The crux of the project ascertaining is to what extent Islam and the Muslim community in general support or reject the relative values of good governance such as democracy, tranparency, participation and accountability.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v8i3.686

With regard to the word "Islamic" in the title of this study, "The Making of the Islamic Political Tradition", it might be significant to take the above quotation into consideration. In the Malay tradition, what the people say about themselves seems to support the argument which is revealed in the sentences quoted. One of the most well-known Malay proverbs runs as follows: "to convert to Islam is to become a Malay". This proverb obviously expresses the feelings of the Malay people who identify themselves with Islam. Islam is acknowledged as having constituted a significant part of Malay society; Islam is regarded as the source of its cultural identity. Thus, if what is conceived of as being Islamic as such is accepted, perhaps there is no reason to wonder how "Islamic" Malay society is; and there is a solid validation for taking the sentence quoted as the argument for this study.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v8i2.687

The Shattariyyah tradition in Pamijahan, which this article deals with, is a good example of the dynamics of sufi tradition in Java, which can be seen from their reception on narrative of the Sufi master (silsilah). The discussion of this article will elaborate the silsilah of Shattariyyah in Pamijahan and its implication to their followers. It is evident that until now there is no adequate information regarding Shattariyyah tradition in West Java, particularly Pamijahan, which had been a famous center of Shattariyyah in Java since its the early period. Describing this issue, it is hoped that article can come to the description of general background of Shattariyyah tradition in Indonesia.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v8i2.688

The involvement of the ulama of the Indian Ocean region took at least two forms. Firstly, through their travelling or migrating to the Holy Cities of Mecca and Medina (the Haramayn). The author found that a great number of ulama and students from the Indian Ocean region came to and later settled in the Holy Cities to study and teach. Secondly, students who felt that they possessed sufficient knowledge returned to their place of origin in the Indian Ocean region, teaching and forming networks of ulama and students in their own area. As a consequence, through these two methods, there appeared a complex criss-crossing of networks of ulama in the Indian Ocean region and other areas of the Muslim world.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v8i2.689

This article deals with the role of the Indonesian women's movement in the reformation of Indonesian Islamic marriage law. The author took an historical approach in conducting the research; hence the main sources are the books and articles that contain the historical record of the events concerned. The study shows that the role of the Indonesian Women's Movement is very significant in the reform of Indonesian marriage law. The birth of the Indonesian feminist movement is said to date back to the 1900's, since it was intimately allied to the national awakening. Raden Ajeng Kartini, who lived from 1879 to 1904, was the first woman to privately demand the emancipation of women. However she was principally concerned with improving women's participation by means of education, such as learning household duties, dress-making classes, course of child welfare, and the like. Rohana Kudus in Minangkabau, West Sumatra, was the first woman who privately and directly criticized the bad effects of child marriage, polygamy and one side divorce.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v8i2.691

Hefner, in his book entitled Civil Islam, proposes Indonesia as a relevant case in the debate among students of Muslim society and democracy as to whether Islam is inimical to democracy. He argues that Indonesian Muslims are more likely to support a democratic political system because civil Islam, that is a set of beliefs within the Muslim community that supports the separation of religious and political authority, pluralism and tolerance of fellow (non-Muslim) citizens and their beliefs, is persistent. From a political culture approach to democracy, this culture is crucial for the emergence and consolidation of democracy. This book overstates the significance of civil Islam in the case of Indonesia, and cannot explain the fact that democracy is a rare phenomenon in the Muslim world, including in Indonesian history.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v8i2.692

Dating from the establishment of the early Islamic kingdoms, Islam has been practiced in Indonesia for at least seven centuries. Through a gradual and continuous process, Islam has found its way into the hearts of the majority of Indonesians. This success is mainly due to the institutions that have been involved in studying and socializing Islam, including those newly established institutions such as IAIN (State Institute for Islamic Studies). Mosques and pesantren are of course the old institutions whose significant contribution to the development of Islam and the Muslim community are beyond doubt. Madrasah, which function in a similar manner to mosques and pesantren, are also important institutions, particularly in bridging the gap between Islam and modernity. But it is only at IAIN that a higher level and more sophisticated study of Islam is conducted in Indonesia. It is a natural expectation that IAIN will play a leading role in social transformation and community development in the face of complex challenges.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v8i2.693

This article is a survey primarily concerned with the social and political roles of some leading ulama in Aceh, one of the most important areas for the development of Islam in the Malay-Indonesian Archipelago. As the work of Azyumardi Azra argued, Aceh emerged as the leading center of Islamic learning in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Malay-Indonesia; The leading ulama originated from Aceh and Islamic thought mainly developed there. Hamzah al-Fansûrî and Nur al-Din al-Raniri-to mention but a few-were among the Acehnese ulama who contributed to the Islamic intellectual development during the periode concerned. They were responsible for the spread of, respectively, heterodox sufisme wahdat al-wujûd and neosufisme in Malay-Indonesian Islam.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v8i1.694
