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.

Abstract

In the era of globalization, the massive influence of foreign culture and technology threatens to strengthen religious values and social awareness in early childhood (Borolla & Marini, 2022; Munawir et al., 2023). Raudhatul Athfal (RA) schools as Islamic educational institutions have a strategic role in shaping religious character and social responsibility, but many schools still separate religious practices from the development of social care (Kemenag Dharmasraya, 2023). This study aims to analyze the implementation of religious activities at RA Adz-Dzikra Isyhaarul Jannah in developing the religious character and social responsibility of students, as well as identifying the supporting and inhibiting factors. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and document studies. The research subjects included teachers, students, and parents at RA Adz-Dzikra Isyhaarul Jannah, Dharmasraya. The data were thematically analyzed to identify the implementation patterns of religious activities and their impact on character building. The results show that this school implements seven main activities: Tadarus Al-Qur'an, Dhuha Prayer, Dhikr and Prayer, Tahfidz, Hadith Memorization, Arabic Language Learning, and Friday Infaq.

Abstract

Gender discourse in Islam has tended to focus on women's issues, while comprehensive analysis of men's roles and responsibilities is still limited. This study aims to examine how men's roles are constructed, interpreted, and transformed in the context of contemporary Islamic society. The research methodology uses textual analysis of primary Islamic sources, as well as a literature review of current research on gender and Islam. The results of the study indicate that Islam establishes the position of men based on the principle of spiritual equality with women, but provides a special role in family and community leadership. The concept of male qawwamah (leadership) in the family is interpreted not as patriarchal domination, but as a mandate that demands material and spiritual responsibility. In the public sphere, men have a strategic role in political, social, and religious leadership with the principles of deliberation and justice. Contemporary social transformations, including urbanization and increasing participation of women in education and the economy, according to a more flexible reinterpretation of gender roles without sacrificing fundamental Islamic values. This study recommends the development of further interdisciplinary studies on gender dynamics in contemporary Muslim societies to support the creation of a gender-just society based on Islamic values.

Abstract

The post-Reformasi era in Indonesia since 1998 has witnessed a dynamic resurgence of Islamic politics, featuring a complex landscape of both large moderate civil society organizations and formal Islamist political parties. This study aimed to comparatively analyze the evolution, political strategies, and societal impact of these diverse Islamic movements in Indonesia’s democratic transition. A qualitative research methodology was employed, utilizing a case study approach. Data was gathered through discourse analysis of party manifestos and public statements, as well as in-depth interviews with political and religious leaders. The findings reveal a strategic divergence: Nahdlatul Ulama has largely focused on influencing politics from a civil society perspective, promoting cultural Islam and pluralism. In contrast, Islamist parties have pursued formal state power, often employing identity politics. This has created a continuous negotiation within the public sphere between substantive Islamic values and formalist political agendas. The study concludes that Indonesian Islamic political movements are not monolithic. The enduring influence of moderate mass organizations acts as a crucial counterbalance to the formal political aspirations of Islamist parties, shaping a unique and contested model of Islamic democracy.

Abstract

The digital revolution has profoundly reshaped the landscape of religious authority and practice in the Muslim world, challenging traditional clerical hierarchies. In Indonesia, the authority of the ulama, long central to the dissemination of Islamic knowledge, now coexists with a vibrant and often unregulated digital sphere. This study aimed to investigate how digital media is reconfiguring traditional Islamic authority and influencing the religious practices of Indonesian Muslims. The primary objective was to analyze the strategies employed by both traditional ulama and new digital religious figures in this evolving media ecosystem. A qualitative methodology was employed, combining digital ethnography of popular religious social media platforms with in-depth, semi-structured interviews with established ulama and emergent "cyber-preachers." The results reveal a significant fragmentation and democratization of religious authority. New media figures are leveraging platforms like YouTube and Instagram to bypass traditional institutions, offering direct religious guidance to a mass audience. In response, many traditional ulama are adapting by creating their own digital presence, yet often struggle to match the popular appeal of these new influencers. This study concludes that digital media is fostering a more contested, personalized, and networked religious landscape in Indonesia. This reconfiguration is not replacing the traditional ulama but is forcing them into a new, competitive role, fundamentally altering how religious authority is constructed, consumed, and maintained in the digital age.

Abstract

Islamic Studies programs in Indonesian higher education have traditionally been rooted in classical, discipline-specific methodologies, which face challenges in addressing complex contemporary issues. This study aimed to identify and analyze the primary challenges and emerging opportunities for integrating interdisciplinary approaches within this field. A qualitative, multi-site case study methodology was employed, focusing on leading Islamic universities in Indonesia. Data were collected through curriculum analysis, policy document review, and in-depth interviews with faculty, academic leaders, and students. The results indicate that significant challenges persist, including institutional rigidity, disciplinary silos, and a faculty trained in mono-disciplinary traditions. However, substantial opportunities are emerging, driven by new government accreditation standards that favor interdisciplinarity and growing student demand for programs that connect Islamic sciences with social sciences, technology, and humanities. The study concludes that while structural and paradigmatic hurdles are significant, the push for interdisciplinary approaches presents a critical opportunity to revitalize Islamic Studies, enhancing its relevance and intellectual contribution to addressing modern societal challenges.

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.
