Jurnal Lentera Insani (JLI) is an international, double-blind, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to substantive dialogue between the social sciences and Islamic studies across Asia. The journal combines rigorous empirical investigations with innovative theoretical interventions, adopting interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary perspectives to illuminate how Islamic thought and practice respond to rapidly shifting social, technological, and environmental landscapes. The journal cultivates both depth and breadth of analysis, enabling nuanced exploration of the challenges and opportunities confronting Muslim communities across the region. The journal especially welcomes contributions that (i) interrogate lived Islamic ethics amid digital connectivity and artificial intelligence; (ii) articulate Muslim engagements with sustainability, climate justice, and eco-theology; (iii) examine governance, constitutionalism, and legal reform in majority- and minority-Muslim settings; (iv) analyse economic and financial innovation, from Islamic fintech to green waqf initiatives; (v) explore cultural and creative industries shaping Muslim identities across the Asia–Pacific and its diasporas; and (vi) offer historiographical re-readings that unsettle canonical narratives of Asian Islam. The journal distinguishes itself by championing research that not only describes contemporary Islamic phenomena but also elucidates their cascading implications for the region’s future.Jurnal Lentera Insani (JLI) is an international, double-blind, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to substantive dialogue between the social sciences and Islamic studies across Asia.

Abstract

Despite widespread assumptions that Islam prescribes fixed gender roles, scholarly and historical evidence reveal a far more complex reality. This study investigates how gender roles within Muslim families have evolved across time and geography, shaped by normative Islamic teachings, jurisprudential interpretation, and social practice. The objectives are to trace this evolution from pre-Islamic Arabia through classical and contemporary scholarship, to examine divergences across the four Sunni law schools and Shia jurisprudence, and to analyse the influence of colonialism and Islamic feminist thought on contemporary gender norms. The study employs a critical literature review, drawing on the Quran, authenticated Hadith collections, and jurisprudential writings of major Islamic scholars, supplemented by peer-reviewed secondary sources. It distinguishes three analytical layers throughout: normative Quranic and prophetic teachings, interpretive jurisprudential traditions, and documented social practices. Findings demonstrate that the Quran affirms women’s spiritual equality and grants substantive legal and economic rights; that no single scholarly consensus exists on domestic and public gender roles; and that restrictive practices in Muslim societies reflect cultural, colonial, and political legacies more than Quranic mandates. Gender roles in Islam are flexible and negotiable, capable of grounding justice and harmony within Muslim families when rooted in equality, compassion, and mutual respect.

Abstract

The indigenous cosmology of Kalimantan, Indonesia, can be understood as an ontological horizon that significantly contributes to reinterpreting the relationships among humankind, nature, and the transcendent dimension. This study aims to examine the indigenous cosmology of Kalimantan as a conceptual source for the development of an Islamic theological ecology that is more relational, contextual and sensitive to ecological justice. This study employs a qualitative approach, using a critical-hermeneutic ethnographic design, to interpret the ecological values, practices, and meanings embedded within indigenous cosmology, and to engage them in dialogue with the principles of tawḥīd, amānah, and balance in Islam. The findings indicate that the contemporary ecological crisis is not merely a matter of technical environmental management, but is also influenced by an anthropocentric worldview that separates humans from nature. In this context, Kalimantan’s indigenous cosmology offers a critical perspective on modern exploitative paradigms through its emphasis on relationship, responsibility, reciprocity and respect for nature. This study positions indigenous knowledge as a source of theoretical reflection rather than merely a cultural object, emphasising that its integration into Islamic theological discourse and environmental policy must be carried out with care to avoid reducing local meanings and to ensure that indigenous communities remain key actors.

Abstract

Environmental awareness is not merely an adaptation of religious practices in response to the ecological crisis, but rather an epistemological and ethical struggle that challenges the anthropocentric dominance within Muslim religiosity. This study aims to analyse how Islamic religious ritual practices can serve as a medium for the internalisation and realisation of environmental awareness. This study employs a qualitative approach using an interpretative case study design, chosen for its ability to explore in depth the process of transforming the meaning and practice of Islamic religious rituals within the context of environmental awareness, which is both contextual and complex. The findings challenge the established assumption that Islamic religious rituals are neither static nor immune to change. Rather, it possesses transformative potential to reconstruct the relationship between humanity and nature, grounded in theological values oriented towards sustainability. Within this framework, the ecological crisis is understood not merely as an external issue, but also as a reflection of the failure to actualise religious ethics in the lives of the faithful. Consequently, ritual transformation becomes vital for integrating spiritual piety with ecological responsibility, whilst positioning Islam as a force capable of offering an alternative paradigm, grounded in the sacredness of nature, in response to global environmental challenges.

Abstract

This study analyses the use of moderate Islamic narratives as a strategy for political legitimisation in Indonesia. It aims to explain how political actors build legitimacy through moderate Islamic narratives and to identify the discursive strategies employed in this process. This study adopts a qualitative approach, using a critical case study design grounded in critical discourse analysis. The findings indicate that moderate Islamic narratives not only represent the values of tolerance, nationalism, and anti-extremism but can also function as political instruments to build public acceptance, strengthen the image of political actors, and manage contestations over religious identity. These narratives are ambivalent, as they can support social harmony while also potentially marginalising groups that do not conform to the dominant definition of moderation. The novelty of this study lies in its critical analysis of moderation as a discursive practice linked to legitimacy, power, and political communication. Consequently, the use of moderation narratives must be accompanied by policy commitments that are more inclusive, participatory, and sensitive to social justice, so that they do not remain mere political rhetoric.

Abstract

This study examines the cultural adaptation of local communities in religious tourism areas in Indonesia as a social process involving adjustment, the negotiation of meaning, identity and economic interests. This study aims to analyse how local communities respond to the development of religious tourism and its impact on sacred values, cultural practices and economic sustainability. This study employs a qualitative approach with a multi-site study design and an interpretative-constructivist perspective. The findings indicate that cultural adaptation proceeds in an ambivalent manner. Religious tourism can open up economic opportunities, broaden social interactions and enhance the visibility of local culture. However, such development can also lead to the commodification of sacred values, changes in ritual practices, inequitable distribution of economic benefits, and tensions between local communities, tourism operators, and managing authorities. These findings emphasise that the sustainability of religious tourism must be assessed not only in terms of growth in visitor numbers or revenue, but also in terms of protecting sacred meanings, ensuring cultural justice, and involving local communities in decision-making. The novelty of this study lies in its emphasis on local communities as active agents in interpreting and negotiating the boundaries between sacred values and commercial interests. Consequently, the governance of religious tourism needs to be more participatory, equitable and sensitive to local cultural values.
