Abstract

Jama‘ah Tabligh came to Southeast Sulawesi in the first decade of this century and soon spread among the Bajo people in the province. It’s developed and contributed to the Bajo people in a significant way. This article describes the reason behind the expansion and the influence of Jama‘ah Tabligh on them. Using historical approach, this study finds that the Bajo people accept Jama‘ah Tabligh for some peculiar reasons. They are attracted to Jama‘ah Tabligh because of effective and persuasive da‘wah launched by this Islamic group. In addition, Jama‘ah Tabligh seems to be the only Islamic da’wah that operate at the grassroots level in the region, which facilitates local curiosity to know more and finally join the movement. The non-political nature of Jama‘ah Tabligh also helps bolster the immediate acceptance of Jama‘ah Tabligh by the Bajo people. Jama‘ah Tabligh has transformed the Bajo people in many ways, allowing them to become more orthodox due to its puritan nature. The Bajo people then no longer practice syncretic religious rituals. They do not speak their vernacular language anymore and they put on thawb and turban as their clothing. Nonetheless, Jama‘ah Tabligh also brings about the teachings that are objects of criticism, namely khuruj and fatalism.

Abstract

This article analyzes a new variant of urban Sufism with specific reference to majelis shalawat (shalawat group) as the new-pseudo Sufi order in Indonesia. It focuses on three majelis shalawat: Majelis Shalawat Kubro, Majelis Shalawat Muhammad, and Majelis Shalawat Adlimiyah. Employing field research, this article argues that the three shalawat groups that flourish in East Java have specific characters unique to the groups. They locate the silsilah (chain of lineage) as an important part in establishing the institution, doctrines, and Sufism practices among their adherents. The aspect of Sufism transmission is articulated as experiencing Sufism through living as inspired by Abu al-Qasim al-Junayd, not as told to them by ‘ulama who theorize Sufism. Furthermore, doing Sufism means a process of experiencing supported by two Sufism traditions at once; they are vivid interconnection (rabitat bi al-suhbah) and virtual interconnection (rabitah bi al-ghayb). The application of the two rabitahs locates a Sufi travellers in a full consciousness (yaqzah) far from self-disappearance (al-fana’ fi al-shaykh). With all of its characteristics, the three shalawat groups generate new variants of Sufi practice that can be considered as new Sufi order.

Abstract

Amidst the rise of textual and literal approach of Islam, the spirit and the purpose of Islamic law are often overlooked. The application of Islamic law should be able to go hand in hand with the changing dynamics of the times. As many novel legal issues take place, Muslim jurists must respond with adequate solution bearing in mind the spirit and purposes of Islamic law for the welfare of human being. This article discusses Ibrahim Hosen, an Indonesia Muslim jurist of the 1980s who upheld this principle in his fatwas. As the chairman of fatwa issuing body of Indonesian Ulama council at the time, he was in the forefront of delicate situation of positioning Islamic law in the modern context. His idea of “mem-fiqh-kan yang qath’i” which means redefining the absolute aspect of Islamic jurisprudence created considerable impact on the application of Islamic law in Indonesia. It did make him a controversial muslim jurist, aspecially after he issued several controversial legal opinions (fatwa), namely the lawfulness of national lottery and lawfulness of beer on which the majority of Indonesian Muslim jurists considered as gambling and liquor.

Abstract

This article examines Sasak Muslims’ belief in tuan guru’s karamah (charisma) in the midst of the emerging trend of cyber da‘wah. Findings illustrate that Sasak Muslims have repeatedly recognized that tuan guru’s charisma becomes an important consideration for their respect and obedience to ‘ulama and are of great significance for da'wah. Accordingly, they have remained in favour of lived-da‘wah practices compared to the online ones. There are two facets that frame the underlying rationales of the findings. First, not all Islamic rituals and da‘wah activities can be transformed into the digital realm because da‘wah has complexity of concepts and meanings embedded within any Islamic rituals that would be difficult to be reproduced into internet medium. Second, da’wah through digital platforms lead people to feel less auratic experience as normally they can through in-person da‘wah activities.

Abstract

Javanese traditions such as wiwitan have often been perceived as being rooted in Hindu and Buddhist culture, and thus syncretic in nature. As the Javanese people have increasingly emphasized rational–functional values, and as orthodox (Islam as represented by santri has become more mainstream, these traditions have been transformed, allowing the ritual wiwitan to become Islamic tradition, expressing gratitude, alms, family, and tolerance. This article explores the educating processes of Islamic values through wiwitan tradition. Data are collected through observations, interviews, and focus group discussions. The analyses use a descriptive and interpretative approach. The findings have revealed that the wiwitan tradition by East Java's farmers is not a syncretic tradition, as commonly argued, but rather has experienced two important transformations. First, it has become more Islamic as an orthodoxy has become mainstream in Java. Second, the wiwitan tradition has a socio-religious purpose of providing a cultural space for divine (ilahiyah) and humanitarian (insaniyah) values. Wiwitan has thus offered a means of educating Islamic values, because it contains the values of shukr, sadaqah, kinship, and tolerance.

Abstract

This article describes the relation between institutional-affiliated Muslim intellectuals and the government in Indonesia during the period of 1990-2001. By analyzing the interview data and documentary studies, it tries to resketch the historical context of social and institutional relation of Muslim intellectuals. This article finds that pluralism is a notion which can be used to sociologically describe the diversity of Indonesian Muslim intellectuals, occasionally leading them, both with and without an institutional association, to different difficulties to unite each other. It maintains that the way Muslim Intellectuals appear to be close to, or distant from, the government depends heavily on who becomes the president or who is in the centre of power. They tend to be close to the government if the president comes out of their social affiliation. The opposite goes the other way around. The fact that unity and diversity exist in Indonesian Islamic organizations and institutions, it suggests, just follows the need and the demand of their members.

Abstract

This article examines the channelization of radicalism by fundamentalist-religious organizations among Muslim university students in Indonesia. The data are taken from 700 Muslim students’ respondents in seven Indonesian universities. This study finds that the channelization of radical-religious ideology in Indonesia takes place via new media with three layers of channels: open-public channel, restricted-public channel, and private channel. The first channel, which is relatively public and overt media platforms, is used to communicate and launch their messages, as well as to expand their ideological propaganda. The second channel, which includes some public but relatively closed media platforms, is used by radical-religious organizations in Indonesia to recruit their new members. By the third channel, a more closed and private media platform becomes the final channel to select new cadres. This research finding is expected to be a complementary reference for the de-radicalization processes that are disseminated via new media to young Muslims and university students in Indonesia.
