Abstract

The Medina Charter, formulated by the Prophet Muhammad, is seen as an early model for the application of constitutional principles emphasizing justice, deliberation, respect for diversity, and the protection of citizens’ rights. The urgency of this research lies in its relevance to Pancasila, the foundation of the Indonesian state, which prioritizes the values of divinity, humanity, unity, democracy, and social justice. This research aims to examine the compatibility of the constitutional principles of the Medina Charter with the values of Pancasila and to assess its contribution to strengthening the Indonesian state system. The method used is qualitative-descriptive research with a historical approach and content analysis of the text of the Medina Charter, philosophical documents of Pancasila, and related academic literature. The results of the study indicate that the value of justice in the Medina Charter aligns with the fifth principle of Pancasila, the principle of national unity is reflected in the third principle, religious freedom is aligned with the first principle, the deliberation system reflects the fourth principle, and respect for individual and group rights is in accordance with the second principle. In conclusion, the State of Medina can be seen as a historical reference as well as a normative inspiration in strengthening the constitutional understanding of Pancasila, thus demonstrating the continuity of universal values between Islamic tradition and the foundation of the Indonesian state.

Abstract

A contextual hermeneutic approach is crucial in understanding the narrative of human creation so that interpretations of religious texts do not fall into reductive and ahistorical literal readings. This article aims to analyze and compare the methodology of contextual hermeneutics in the Islamic and Christian traditions to discover epistemological patterns and their theological implications for the interpretation of the creation story. This research uses a qualitative approach with a comparative-hermeneutic analysis method, which relies on primary sources such as the Quran, the Bible, and works of classical and modern hermeneutic interpretation and commentaries, accompanied by a review of contemporary academic literature. The results show that contextual hermeneutics in Islam, as developed by thinkers such as Fazlur Rahman and Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, emphasizes the close relationship between the text and its socio-moral context. The text is understood as a living discourse in history, demanding the reader’s intellectual engagement to uncover ethical messages and universal values ​​that are in line with the dynamics of modern society. In contrast, in the Christian tradition, contextual hermeneutics, represented by Paul Ricoeur and Hans-Georg Gadamer, places greater emphasis on the symbolic, existential, and dialogical aspects of the creation narrative, where meaning is understood as the result of the encounter between the text’s horizon and the reader’s horizon in the experience of faith. A comparison of the two reveals a common ground in contextual awareness, an appreciation for the dynamics of meaning, and the active role of the interpreting subject. The conclusion of this study confirms that contextual hermeneutics, both in Islam and Christianity, can serve as a foundation for the development of interfaith interpretive discourse that is more dialogical, inclusive, and responsive to the challenges of contemporary humanity.

Abstract

Understanding the dynamics of the relationship between local and heavenly religions in Indonesia is crucial in the context of pluralism and the complex formation of national religious identity. The long history of interaction between these two religious traditions demonstrates that the religious identity of Indonesian society was not born singularly, but rather is the result of encounters, negotiations, and transformations that took place across time and space. This study aims to explain how the process of contestation and acculturation between local and heavenly religions plays a significant role in shaping the construction of a distinctive religious identity in Indonesia. The research method uses a qualitative approach with historical, sociological, and anthropological analysis through in-depth literature studies and contextual observations of community religious practices and symbols. The results show that the historical dynamics of the relationship between the two demonstrate a pattern of contestation in the form of a struggle for religious authority and the interpretation of sacred values that reflect the hegemonic efforts of heavenly religions over local traditions. However, on the other hand, a productive acculturation process occurs through the integration of symbols, rites, and spiritual values that allow local religions to transform without losing the essence of their identity. This acculturation is evident in syncretic practices, social rituals, and ethical values that enrich the community’s religiosity. These findings show that Indonesian religious identity is formed through a dynamic negotiation process between contextual local values and the universal values of the heavenly religions, resulting in a religious pattern that is inclusive, adaptive, and has a distinctive Nusantara character.
Konsep Ketuhanan dalam Filsafat Ibn ʻArabī dan Meister Eckhart: Dialektika antara Transendensi dan Immanensi Marlichasia Marlichasia; Ferdinand Saputra; Afdol Salam; Jubaidah Fatmawati

Abstract

Understanding the concept of God in two major traditions—Islam and Christianity—has profound philosophical and theological significance, especially when examined through the mystical thought of Ibn ʻArabī and Meister Eckhart, who both position God as the highest reality in the dialectic between transcendence and immanence. This study aims to analyze and compare the metaphysical, epistemological, and anthropological structures of the concept of God in these two figures to reveal patterns of unity and difference in how they interpret the relationship between God, the world, and humans. Using a qualitative approach and a philosophical-comparative hermeneutic method, this study explores primary texts such as Ibn ʻArabī ’s Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikam and al-Futūḥāt al-Makkiyyah, as well as Meister Eckhart’s sermons and tracts, accompanied by an analysis of relevant secondary literature. The results of the study show that metaphysically, Ibn ʻArabī affirms Absolute Wuju d as a single reality that manifests itself through tajallī in all forms of existence, while Eckhart understands Godhead as the “Divine foundation” that transcends all categories but simultaneously gives birth to the world through a dynamic emanative process. In the epistemological realm, Ibn ʻArabī views knowledge of God as realized through direct experience (kashf) of Divine manifestations, while Eckhart emphasizes the “birth of the Word” in the soul as a process of inner union with God. Anthropologically, both see humans as microcosms and mirrors of the Divine in which God reflects Himself. This study concludes that the thoughts of Ibn ʻArabī and Meister Eckhart demonstrate a dialectical structure of the Divine, where transcendence and immanence are harmoniously combined in a single and inseparable metaphysical reality.

Abstract

The development of transhumanism in the digital era presents a new paradigm of humankind that emphasizes the enhancement of biological, cognitive, and existential capabilities through artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and genetic engineering. This idea poses a serious challenge to the traditional concept of humanity, especially in the context of Islamic theology, which positions humans as beings with souls, morals, and responsibilities before God. This study aims to analyze transhumanism from an Islamic theological perspective and reconstruct the concept of humanity based on the principles of monotheism, caliphate, and the human spirit. Using qualitative methods through a textual-theological analysis approach, this study interprets classical texts (turāṡ) and contemporary discourses to formulate a conceptual synthesis between Islamic theology and posthuman ideas. The results show that the epistemology of transhumanism is rooted in secular rationalism and liberal humanism, which interpret humans as autonomous entities capable of transcending their biological limitations, while Islamic theology asserts that true humanity originates from a spiritual dimension connected to God. Through theological reconstruction, transhumanism can be transformed into an ethical discourse aligned with the values ​​of monotheism and the responsibilities of the caliph, where technology serves as a means of improving spiritual and social quality, not as an attempt to eliminate human nature. This research ultimately formulates a transformative model of Islamic Humanitarian Theology in the digital era—combining spirituality, rationality, and the ethics of civilized technology use. Thus, Islamic theology offers an alternative paradigm to transhumanism by affirming humans as spiritual and moral beings who manage technology ethically and are oriented towards universal welfare.

Abstract

Studies on sacrifice in Islam and Hinduism generally focus on the ritual aspect, leaving the deeper theological and symbolic dimensions understudied. Furthermore, comparative research systematically examining the meaning of sacrifice based on primary texts from the Quran and Vedic literature is limited, particularly in understanding how both traditions perceive the relationship between humans and God through the symbol of sacrifice. This study aims to describe the theological meaning and symbolism of sacrifice in both religions, analyse theological interpretations and commentaries based on them, and compare the spiritual structures emerging from the texts and ritual practices. A qualitative method employing a comparative theology and symbolic hermeneutics approach is used, with the units of analysis comprising Quranic verses on sacrifice, the concept of yajña in the Rigveda and Upanis ads, and classical Vedantic interpretations and commentaries. Data are analysed through thematic categorisation and exploration of key symbols, such as niyyah, obedience, self-surrender (praṇidhāna), and self-purification. The results of the study indicate that, despite the different forms of ritual—animal slaughter as an expression of obedience and charity in Islam, and yajna as a cosmic offering in Hinduism—both emphasize the subjugation of the ego, awareness of human limitations, an existential orientation to the Transcendent, and the ethical function of sacrifice in shaping moral dispositions and social responsibility. These findings demonstrate the existence of parallel spiritual structures in these two major traditions. The conclusion confirms the research’s contribution to strengthening interfaith dialogue through a shared symbolic framework and opens up space for further studies that integrate community practice data.

Abstract

Fasting remains a vital religious practice in today’s fast-paced modern culture, yet comparative studies specifically examining the mechanisms by which fasting fosters spiritual discipline across traditions are limited. This study aims to operationally identify the theological and ritual differences between Ramadan in Islam and Lent in Christianity, analyze the mechanisms by which fasting fosters spiritual discipline, and evaluate its practical implications for moral resilience and social responsibility. Using qualitative methods grounded in the literature, this study employs hermeneutic analysis of normative texts and thematic analysis of theological literature, progressing through the stages of source selection, contextual reading, and comparative synthesis. Triangulation is employed to ensure validity. The results reveal three main mechanisms that consistently emerge across both traditions: first, time-bound and repetitive ritual structures that strengthen impulse control and the stability of self-discipline; second, communal practices, such as Ramadan ifṭar and Lenten charity services, that foster empathy, solidarity, and a sense of social responsibility; and third, the practice of spiritual reflection through prayer, repentance, and muhasabah, which deepens moral awareness and strengthens ethical orientation. The analysis also revealed differences in theological emphasis: Ramadan emphasises the vertical relationship between the individual and God, as well as collective charity. In contrast, Lent emphasises self-denial and personal transformation. These findings indicate the potential of fasting as a medium for developing spiritual disciplines across traditions and a basis for more constructive interfaith dialogue.

Abstract

The global climate crisis, which increasingly threatens the sustainability of life, demands a collaborative approach that transcends religious traditions. Meanwhile, interfaith ecotheological studies that systematically link theological pluralism with ecological ethics remain limited, thereby creating an academic need to formulate a common theological foundation. This study aims to identify, compare, and synthesise the principles of ecological ethics from Islamic, Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions, thereby building a model of ecotheological collaboration as a conceptual framework for interfaith dialogue and action. Using a qualitative theological-comparative method, the study analyzes canonical texts and interfaith documents through a hermeneutical approach, establishing source selection criteria based on doctrinal authority, ecological relevance, and traditional representation. The results indicate three groups of universal principles: first, the concept of cosmic responsibility—Islam emphasizes amanah, Christianity emphasizes stewardship, Hinduism views nature as part of ṛta, and Buddhism emphasizes the interconnectedness of life (pratītyasamutpāda); second, the ethics of moderation and self-control as a pattern of ecological life; and third, environmental justice as a collective spiritual obligation. This synthesis yields a collaborative ecotheological model encompassing four dimensions: a shared theological basis, a space for intertraditional dialogue, practical ecological ethical guidance, and an action orientation for environmental justice advocacy. Theoretically, this research strengthens pluralistic theological discourse by offering interfaith ecological meeting points, while practically, it provides an ethical framework applicable to collaborative programs for planetary sustainability.

Abstract

Freedom of religion is a central issue in human rights discourse, yet it still faces serious challenges in the form of increasing intolerance and belief-based violence. Although the literature on each religious tradition is quite extensive, a notable lack remains in studies that systematically compare the theological foundations and normative implications of Islamic, Christian, and Hindu teachings with modern standards of religious freedom, thereby creating a conceptual gap in the study of religion and human rights. This study aims to describe the key doctrines of the three traditions regarding freedom of belief, compare the normative principles governing the relationship between individual freedom and religious authority, and identify conceptual points of convergence and differences in relation to universal human rights principles. The method used is a qualitative-comparative study with hermeneutic textual analysis of primary sources, namely the Quran, the Bible, and the Vedas, based on thematic relevance, as well as a review of purposively selected secondary academic literature. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach to map conceptual patterns across traditions. The results of the study reveal four main themes: first, the theological basis of freedom of belief; second, the moral and social limits of individual freedom; third, the position of religious authority; and fourth, the relationship between tolerance and pluralism. Islam emphasizes freedom oriented toward moral responsibility and social justice; Christianity emphasizes freedom of conscience based on the dignity of the imago Dei. In contrast, Hinduism emphasizes spiritual plurality as a space for seeking truth. All three demonstrate a consensus on human dignity and the rejection of coercion. The focus of the textual analysis limits the conclusions; empirical studies are needed to test their implementation in social practice and public policy.

Abstract

The events of 9/11 triggered significant changes in the global construction of Islam and gave rise to an academic need to examine how Islamic pluralism is produced in different social contexts, especially since comparative studies that explicitly map the transformation of discourse between Western Islam and Islam Nusantara are still limited. This study aims to map the patterns of construction, negotiation, and reproduction of post-9/11 pluralism discourse in both contexts and analyze the epistemological, historical, and political factors that influence these shifts. Using qualitative methods through comparative discourse analysis based on a critical analysis framework, this study examines a corpus of academic texts, public policies, and popular discourse selected through the criteria of thematic relevance and representation of social context, thus enabling a systematic mapping of the emerging discourse categories. The results show measurably different patterns of transformation: Western Islam displays a discourse oriented towards issues of integration, security, representation of minority identities, and articulation of Islam’s compatibility with modern citizenship values, reflected through dominant themes such as narratives of coexistence, reformulation of Muslim-non-Muslim relations, and affirmation of the legality of the existence of Muslim communities in the public sphere. In contrast, Islam Nusantara produces a more dialogic and layered discourse through the articulation of values ​​of social harmony, local religious authority, historical memory of diversity, and stable cultural legitimacy, which are evident in discourse categories such as adat-sharia integration, communal harmony, and religious moderation. These findings confirm that post-9/11 Islamic pluralism developed differently according to local social structures, collective memories, and political dynamics, while contributing to broadening the perspective of contemporary Islamic studies and strengthening the approach to cross-cultural dialogue.
