Abstract

The Center for the study of Islam and Society (PPIM), Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (UIN) Jakarta under the project of Religious Environmentalism Actions (REACT) in collaboration with Faculty of Social Sciences, Indonesian International Islamic University Depok, and Studia Islamika, an international journal for Islamic studies in Southeast Asia (SEA) conducted the International Conference on Religious Environmentalism in Actions: Knowledge, Movements and Policies. This conference relies on the foundation that religious and spiritual communities are essential to the fight against environmental damage and climate change. And, it will also examine how policymakers promote collaborative interfaith engagement or develop collaborative partnerships with faith leaders and religious communities to generate more effective and long-lasting solutions for environmental and climate related problems.

Abstract

Indonesian “green Islam” has been celebrated as a prominent case of religious engagement with environmental issues. This article reviews recent empirical and theoretical literature on religion and environment in Indonesia and beyond. It assesses some trends in the discourse and suggest new directions in the study of Muslim environmental engagement. I start with problematizing a question that stands out in the literature about the effectiveness of the so-called “green Islam:” does it contribute to the achievement of environmentalist goals? I suggest an expansion of the Islam and environment discourse in several directions. From the critical perspective of religious studies, I suggest paying closer attention to lived Islam, in contrast to insular theologizing that revolves around texts without attention to practices. I then argue for engaging with questions of justice and politics of environmentalism. Such an approach reveals that religions, including certain versions of Muslim understanding, are ecologically ambivalent.

Abstract

Studies of religious environmentalism often start from the assumption that religious communities are essential to the fight against environmental changes. In this article I will address the question whether and in what way this is indeed the case, and if and how religious environmental ethics can be integrated into public policy. Numerous large-scale studies show that evidence for a relationship between religious beliefs and environment-friendly behavior is not robust. Integrating religious beliefs into public policy is not unambiguous. This article has two parts. In the first part I draw on the religious environmentalism actions study and the humans and nature study to explore empirical evidence for a relationship between religious beliefs and environmental ethics in Indonesia. In the second part I ask what this evidence signifies for environmental policy making. I advocate a discursive approach in policy-making showing the multiplicity of meanings of environmental problems and the need of forming discourse coalitions.
Climate, Sustainability, and Future Generations: An Ecotheology for Indonesia’s Ummah of ‘Nonidentity’ Gade, Anna M.

Abstract

The idea of “future generations” is fundamental to discussions of sustainability, climate and “ecotheology.” However, it also poses a philosophical problem of “nonidentity”: i.e., future people do not really exist. Applied issues regarding intergenerational responsibility, risk and justice in climate policy and practice complicate the nonidentity problem beyond the abstract to the realm of the material. Trends in Anglophone philosophy as well as emerging national ecotheology within the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs increasingly view such empirical problems to be grounded in moral and ethical systems. The Qur’anic idea of ummah (community) renders legible what are otherwise intractable problems in climate and sustainability ethics in regard to justice for future “nonidentities,” that is, generations who are yet to face climate danger. With this come wider implications for morality regarding communities that are invisible and erased in human and more-than-human worlds in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Rejecting Geothermal Projects: Muslim Environmentalism in The SAPAR Movement for Ecological Justice and Sustainable Natural Resources Muizudin, Muizudin

Abstract

This study investigates the Syarekat Perjuangan Rakyat Padarincang (SAPAR) movement, which resists a geothermal project on Mount Parakasak, Banten, through the lens of Muslim environmentalism. The project provoked strong opposition due to concerns that water scarcity would threaten agriculture and socio-religious life, underscoring the community’s inseparable relationship with nature. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research draws on online reports, journal articles, and documentary videos to analyze SAPAR’s resistance strategies. Findings reveal that SAPAR operationalizes principles of Islamic environmental ethics, such as khalīfah, amānah, and mīzān, into collective action, framing environmental stewardship as both an ethical and cultural imperative. Religious rituals such as tahlilan and istighosah function as instruments of protest, demonstrating the religious, social, and political engagement. The movement’s discourse reflects a hybridization of Islamic values and local ecological knowledge, challenging dominant “green energy” narratives. This study underscores the need for inclusive policies that prioritize ecological justice and recognize local communities as key actors in sustainable resource governance.

Abstract

This special issue revisits the study of religious environmentalism in Indonesia by bringing together essays that both engage with and critically examine Islam as an active, lived force in environmental activism. Collectively, the contributions open new pathways in the study of religion and the environment by demonstrating that the integration of Islam into environmental conservation is not frictionless. The essays make a substantive contribution to strengthening the methodological foundations of Islam and environmental studies through a rigorous multidisciplinary approach, marking a clear shift from predominantly theological justification toward empirically grounded analyses that combine field-based evidence with sensitivity to religious values. Beyond portraying the current state of the field, this special issue advances a more demanding, empirically grounded, theoretically informed, methodologically robust, and analytically rigorous research agenda for future scholarship.

Abstract

Indonesia has simultaneously experienced rapid growth in social media use and persistent concerns about rising religious intolerance, prompting widespread assumptions that digital platforms are fueling intolerance. Yet, the literature offers mixed predictions: social media may heighten hostility through echo-chamber dynamics, reduce prejudice through weak-tie intergroup contact, or generate little attitudinal change on religious tolerance. Drawing on these competing theoretical frameworks, we analyze a nationally representative survey of Indonesian Muslims (N = 3,820) to assess whether social media use for religious and political information is associated with higher levels of religious intolerance. From our econometric regression results, we do not find statistically significant evidence that Indonesian Muslims’ exposure to social media is correlated with higher level of religious intolerance. Our results suggest that in Indonesia—as in several other countries—social media may amplify the visibility of intolerant discourse without substantially shifting underlying attitudes.

Abstract

While Indonesian scholarship has documented youth hijrah cultures and digital religiosity, less is understood about how Islamist networks adapt ideologically under post-ban HTI. Examining four cases—YukNgaji, Kajian Trotoar, Vespa Moeslim, and Komunitas Literasi Islam—through digital observation (2019–2024), interviews, and narrative analysis, this article shows how Islamists shift from conventional mobilization to engagement through digital popular culture that embeds religious practice within youth activities. Memes and videos attract attention; group rides, study circles, workshops, and charity cultivate sustained participation. What begins as personal spiritual practice—lifestyle changes, hobby communities, study circles—gradually constitutes collective identity with political dimensions. Unlike earlier iterations of pop-Islamism that primarily accommodated consumer modernity, these cases reveal an “ironic appropriation” of digital forms, where subcultural participation and communal solidarity collectively facilitate an ideological formation that feels organic rather than imposed. This adaptive recalibration helps explain how Islamist frameworks continue to circulate within Indonesia’s securitized political landscape.

Abstract

Midori, Kawashima, et.al (eds.). 2025. Catalogue of Southeast Asian Kitabs of Sophia University: Third and Expanded Edition. Tokyo: Institute of Islamic Area Studies, Sophia University. Abstract: The new edition of the Catalogue of Southeast Asian Kitabs of Sophia University marks a massive decolonizing of archives. Its extensive and structured scale makes it an essential reference for scholars mapping the intellectual traditions of Islam in Southeast Asia. This review, however, reveals the catalogue’s ‘elitist’ nature, as it systematically marginalizes the tradition of textual reproduction at the grassroots level, which is an essential locus for the everyday transmission of Islamic knowledge. This limitation is supported by the absence of historically significant transregional print corpora, a gap that demonstrates inconsistency even within its prioritized domains. This article argues that precisely within these limitations, the catalogue makes an unexpected contribution. It functions as a definitive map of the “homework” awaiting future researchers, while radically affirming that the true richness of the Southeast Asian kitab tradition is far more extensive and dynamic than what can be represented by this catalogue.

Abstract

Indonesia is a major part of the Islamic world and today contains the largest population of Muslims in a single nation-state. However, we still have a very limited understanding of how Islam became the archipelago’s predominant religion in the early modern period, because of the extreme paucity of local sources that bear witness to this process. This article investigates, for the first time, a recently identified bark-paper manuscript from sixteenth-century Java that sheds new light on the Islamization of Indonesia: a manuscript with shelf mark Ba 7 held in the Fulda Public Library in Germany. This unique text, to which we assign the title A Guide to Islamic Prayer and Belief, contains an introduction to the basic ideas and expressions of Islamic religion for a Javanese audience. As one of only seven Islamic texts known to have survived from this obscure period of Javanese history, the Guide illuminates significant aspects of early Indonesian Islam: the transmission of canonical Islamic texts to the archipelago, the assimilation of Arabic vocabulary into local languages, and the role of Islamic religious education in the region. This major new source prompts us to reconsider certain prevailing theories about the Islamization of Indonesia and points to exciting avenues for future research.
