Abstract

The cross-cultural differences experienced by pilgrims during the world’s largest religious ritual, ḥajj, have yet to be explored. It is worthwhile to investigate this issue from an Indonesian perspective. This study uses a phenomenological approach to examine cross-cultural differences experienced by Acehnese pilgrims during ḥajj. The perceptions of Acehnese who have never been to Mecca (‘villagers’) and Acehnese who stayed in Saudi Arabia and its neighbouring countries (‘stayers’) were also probed. The findings show that the pilgrims experienced cross-cultural differences in verbal communication, body movement, physical appearance and dress, the use of space, time, touch, voice, and smell. Cross-culturally, the pilgrims have a different perspective to villagers and stayers. The pilgrims expressed culture shock, while the villagers’ perceptions were primarily shaped by imagined and unverified stories, and the stayers understood their pilgrimage through their long experiences of residing in Arab countries.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v25i1.5356

Abstract

This paper examines the confluence of Islam and Communism in the Netherlands East Indies from 1915-1927, by studying how Islam and Communism were theorized as compatible. It analyzes the nature of conciliatory discourses linking Communism and Islam by exploring the profuse anti-colonial print culture of the period. This paper examines four corpora of sources: the published writings of Tan Malaka; selected excerpts from two newspapers edited by Haji Misbach and his associates; Tjokroaminoto’s 1924 book, Islam and Socialism; and finally, Soekarno’s 1926 article, published as Nationalism, Islam and Marxism. This paper will conclude with a brief examination of Dutch reports and oral testimony regarding how Islam and Communism figured in the motivations of participants in the 1926-1927 Communist uprisings.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v25i2.5675

Abstract

The pre-colonial Archipelago period of Indonesian history witnessed rapid Islamization. The kingdoms or sultanates served as the centre of emerging Islamic socio-political and cultural dynamics. In this article, the crucial role that the kingdoms played in facilitating Islamization will be examined, giving strong emphasis to how they emerged as hubs for ‘ulamā’ who Islamized  the people of the Archipelago. This process created an Islamic network with the ‘ulamā’ introducing rulers and society to Islam. Islamization unified the people in the “lands below the winds” under one religion. This connecting process was further facilitated by the rise of Malay language alongside the Jawi (Arabic) script as a medium for intra-regional communication as well as Islamic expression. The experience of being Islamized created a collective memory of being part of “the others” and laid a strong foundation for the unification of Indonesian society today.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v25i2.5682

Abstract

In the context of Indonesianism and Islamism, religion teachers serve as avant garde of tolerance, which is then manifested into their social contexts. The attitude of religious tolerance and inclusivity are must have for religion teachers; since these teachers have the closest connection to their students who are mostly young people. We have observed that the increasing radicalism in educational institutions has been associated with particular models of interpretation, understanding, teaching, schools of thoughts, denomination, and even sects within a particular religion. For instance, an international agency has reported the discovery of an "intolerance curriculum" in Saudi Arabian schools (Freedom House, 2006).In Indonesia, the growth of radicalism was due to scriptural, rigid, exclusive, and close-minded interpretation towards religious scripts. In 2008, PPIM (Center for the Study of Islam and Society) UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta released an important finding that "the majority of religion teachers in Indonesian public schools have exclusive and conservative view towards religion."DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v24i2.5707

Abstract

Vedi R. Hadiz, Islamic Populism in Indonesia and the Middle East. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. x + 228pp.This book wants to illustrate the compatibility of democracy with Islam. Under certain circumstances, it could be happened when alliances of marginalized classes unite in one shade under the banner of Islam. Focussing on Muslims in Indonesia, Egypt, and Turkey, Vedi R. Hadiz tries to see the process of Islamic populism formulation. This book elaborates more deeply the relationship between democratization, socio-economic change and the unbearable desire of globalization that has an impact on the evolution of the Muslim community’s struggle on those countries. By emphasizing the economic-political and socio-historical perspectives, the important point to be conveyed by Vedi that the motivation of the group interests and the economic advantages, to some extent, can give birth to the political power of Islam in the midst of society, rather than the ideology and the teachings of religion itself. Hence, basically, there is nothing that distinguishes Islamic political phenomena from the general political phenomenon. Finally, this book is important to read by those who want to get the latest framework in explaining the current development of Islamic Populism.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v24i2.5708

Abstract

This article focuses on the understanding of Bima’s local interlocutors in the history of Islamization in the region, particularly in light of their construction of Bima vernacular manuscripts. This article provides the agency of Siti Maryam as the owner and caretaker of Samparaja museum who has given access to Bima’s manuscripts, locally called Bo’. Through in-depth interviews and participant observation, I examined how Siti Maryam as the manuscript’s owner constructs the entry of Islam to Bima, and how this understanding becomes the dominant storyline in explaining Bima’s history ranging from the pre-Islamic era to the period of Islamization. The aim of this article is not to discuss the truth or falsity in these historical accounts or to take sides. But all these varying historical accounts are important in providing a doorway into understanding the locally dynamic and religio-political practices of Islam in contemporary Bima.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v25i1.5840

Abstract

Twelve million Filipinos live in extreme poverty. Despite a well-crafted government model for poverty alleviation, the state’s role in managing charities to alleviate economic deprivation has been minimal. By reason of the state’s strict adherence to secularism, the operation of Islamic institutions at the social level is deemed unconstitutional. It is unfortunate that the dynamics of Islamic social financial institutions, i.e. zakat, waqf and ṣadaqah, are not reflected in the economic road map for the reconstruction of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, particularly the rehabilitation of the city of Marawi after the war. This study examines the initiatives taken by government agencies and Muslim organizations towards the gradual revival of zakat as an Islamic social financial institution. In addition, the study highlights issues on the management of zakat and its role in poverty alleviation within the context of a secular state. This study finds that due to mismanagement, zakat fails to eliminate or reduce the poverty of the Muslim minorities in the Philippines.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v25i1.5969

Abstract

Moneylending is a real humanitarian problem in Asian countries, including in Southeast Asia. This study examines moneylending activities in this region, where poor people become a target. An emergency need forces them to seek out a moneylender. This paper argues that nanofinance may address the microfinance gap to counter the moneylender. Despite the existence of nanofinance, it has not obtained as much attention as microfinance. However, nanofinance activities have run in some Asian countries to help the poor. By interviewing some informants in Indonesia, Vietnam, and Cambodia, and then reviewing the empirical study and context in Malaysia, Thailand and Brunei, this paper intends to: (1) Describe the practice of moneylending in Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Brunei; (2) Describe the nanofinance practice in Indonesia and Thailand; (3) Promote qarḍ al-ḥasan as the philanthropy contract of (Islamic) nanofinance.

Abstract

Chinese Indonesians are not homogeneous community. Study of the Chinese is also important to understand not only their presence in Indonesia but also  religious life. This article seeks to shed light on Indonesia’s Chinese Muslims in Pontianak City. It explains the reasons that led the Chinese Indonesians to convert to Islam and the challenges they face. Several important reasons behind their conversion, among others, are intellectuality, morality, social relations, and mysticism. In contrast with conversion to other religions, a Chinese Indonesians  conversion to Islam is such problematic. This is mainly due to the negative stereotype against Muslims. It has also been worsened by the behavior of religious fanaticism of some Muslims under the banner of fundamentalism. Thus, those who are converting to Islam, to some extent, have experienced various challenges such as rejection from family members as well as their original community, and some of them also receive death threats. Besides, they even had to forsake their Chinese identity.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v25i1.6034

Abstract

The disturbing, destructive and detrimental religious-political relations between Muslim warriors, kings or sultans, princes, and the santri Muslims in the archipelago during the VOC and Dutch colonial era, were not the same throughout Indonesia. Islamic relations with colonial rulers with high tension and heating up, perceived by Muslims as jihad not only because of the despotic ruler factor but also because of non-Muslim factor. The case of Kampung Jawa Tondano, Minahasa, provides evidence that the three-party social-religious relation, namely Muslim-Christian-colonial ruler, is unlike in other parts of Indonesia. This study came to the conclusion that the Muslim warriors in Kampung Jawa Tondano have a good ability in adaptation, acculturation and resilience while still embracing Islam, performing rituals, keep their religious identity and traditions in their daily life, but maintaining good relations with Christians despite refusing to accommodate with the Dutch.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v24i3.6173
