Journal of Noesantara Islamic Studies is dedicated to bringing together the latest and most important results and perspectives from field of Islamic studies, devoting to provide an intellectual niche of new Islamic trends in society and beyond. The Journal of Noesantara Islamic Studies is a highly selective journal; submissions must be both essential reading for a particular sub-field and of interest to the broader papers from academicians on theories, philosophy, conceptual paradigms, academic research, as well as religion practices. In particular, papers which consider the following general topics are invited with the expectation for lasting scientific and technological impact. We therefore anticipate that only a small proportion of submissions to the Journal of Noesantara Islamic Studies will be selected for publication. We feel that the rapidly growing Journal of Noesantara Islamic Studies community is looking for a journal with this profile, and one that together we can achieve. Submitted papers must be written in English for initial review stage by editors and further review process by minimum two international reviewers.

Abstract

This study examines the complex dynamics of Indonesian Islam amidst the rise of global Islamic fundamentalism, focusing specifically on processes of radicalization and counter-radicalization within the archipelago. Indonesia, as the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, presents a unique case due to its historically pluralistic and moderate religious landscape, which now faces increasing pressure from extremist ideologies. The primary objective of this research is to identify the key drivers of radicalization among Indonesian Muslims and to critically assess the effectiveness of existing counter-radicalization strategies implemented by the government and civil society organizations. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, this study combines a quantitative analysis of survey data from 500 university students and religious leaders across Java and Sumatra with qualitative in-depth interviews. The qualitative component involved 30 participants, including former extremists, religious scholars, and policymakers, providing nuanced insights into their experiences and perspectives on radicalization and deradicalization. Results indicate that socio-economic grievances, misinterpretations of religious texts, and online propaganda are significant factors contributing to radicalization, particularly among younger demographics. In conclusion, Indonesian Islam demonstrates significant resilience against fundamentalist encroachment, largely due to its strong civil society and established moderate religious organizations.

Abstract

This study explores the enduring and evolving influence of Sufism on Indonesian Islamic spirituality, examining its contemporary reinterpretation amidst modern challenges. Indonesian Islam has historically embraced mystical traditions, fostering a unique spiritual landscape distinct from more legalistic or fundamentalist expressions. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for appreciating the breadth of Islamic practice in the archipelago. The research aims to analyze how Sufi practices and philosophies are adapted and re-articulated by contemporary Indonesian Muslims, identifying the motivations behind this reinterpretation and its impact on individual and communal spirituality. Employing a qualitative research design, this study utilizes in-depth interviews with 25 Sufi practitioners, scholars, and community leaders across Java and Sumatra. Observational data from Sufi tariqa gatherings and contemporary spiritual forums further enriched the findings. Thematic analysis was used to identify recurring patterns and interpretations. Results indicate a significant re-engagement with Sufism, driven by a search for inner peace, spiritual authenticity, and a moderate alternative to rigid interpretations of Islam. The study found that Sufism continues to be a vital source of spiritual resilience and ethical guidance. In conclusion, Sufism remains a powerful force in Indonesian Islamic spirituality, offering a dynamic and adaptable framework for contemporary religious life. Its reinterpretation underscores its enduring relevance in cultivating a compassionate and tolerant Muslim identity.

Abstract

The rise of global radicalism in recent decades has posed significant challenges to the integrity and peace of the Muslim community. In response to this, Islamic organizations such as Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) have become pivotal in promoting Islam Wasatiyyah, or moderate Islam, as an antidote to extremism. NU’s unique position in Indonesia and its global influence present an opportunity to examine its role in counteracting radical ideologies. This study aims to explore the contributions of Nahdlatul Ulama in promoting Islam Wasatiyyah as a counter-narrative to the growing threat of global radicalism. It investigates how NU’s teachings and activities advocate for moderation, tolerance, and inclusivity in Islamic practices. This qualitative study employs a literature review and content analysis of key NU texts, official statements, and related theological works. Interviews with NU scholars and activists further enrich the understanding of NU’s strategies in promoting a moderate Islam. The findings suggest that NU’s emphasis on the middle path of Islam has provided a strong theological foundation against radical ideologies. Through its educational programs, interfaith dialogues, and advocacy for pluralism, NU has successfully advocated for Islam Wasatiyyah as a key component of peace-building efforts. Nahdlatul Ulama plays a significant role in fostering a moderate interpretation of Islam, thereby offering an effective counter-narrative to global radicalism. Its efforts are crucial in the global fight against extremism.

Abstract

Inheritance in the Minangkabau community of West Sumatra represents a complex legal phenomenon that reflects the coexistence and tension between fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), adat (customary law), and state law. This study aims to analyze how these three normative systems interact, overlap, and negotiate authority in resolving inheritance disputes among Minangkabau people. Using a qualitative sociolegal approach, the research was conducted through indepth interviews, field observations, and document analysis of inheritance cases handled by both adat institutions and religious courts. The findings reveal that inheritance practices in Minangkabau are shaped by a hybrid legal culture: adat prioritizes matrilineal lineage and communal ownership, fiqh emphasizes individual entitlement based on Qur’anic prescriptions, while state law seeks harmonization through formal judicial mechanisms. In practice, local communities often employ adat principles for land and property distribution but rely on fiqhbased settlements when disputes escalate to formal courts. The study concludes that the coexistence of these systems demonstrates a dynamic legal pluralism, where social harmony is maintained through pragmatic compromise rather than rigid adherence to a single legal framework.

Abstract

Background: The rapid expansion of digital media has transformed the landscape of religious communication in Muslim societies, challenging long-established patterns of religious authority that have traditionally been male-dominated. In this context, women ulama increasingly utilize digital platforms to disseminate knowledge, engage audiences, and negotiate their religious legitimacy within both local and transnational Muslim communities. Objective: This study aims to examine how women ulama in the digital era redefine religious authority, reshape modes of da‘wah, and construct new forms of credibility and influence in Muslim communities. Method: The research employs a qualitative approach, combining digital ethnography, content analysis of selected social media platforms, and in-depth interviews with prominent women ulama actively engaged in online religious discourse. Results: The findings reveal that digital spaces enable women ulama to bypass conventional institutional barriers, articulate alternative religious narratives, and build authority through expertise, ethical engagement, and interactive communication with followers. However, their authority remains contested, as they often face gender-based resistance, online harassment, and challenges from traditional religious institutions. Conclusion: The study concludes that digital media does not merely extend existing religious authority but actively reconfigures it, positioning women ulama as significant agents in the evolving ecology of Islamic knowledge and leadership in the digital era.
