Abstract

The arrival of imported religions, Islam and Chistianity in particular, in West Kalimantan creates cultural dialectic and transformation within local indigenous Dayak’s culture and belief.  This article tries to explore on cultural interbreeding between Dayak indigenous culture and Islam in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The findings have revealed that the interaction between local Dayak culture with variant of Islam creates new cultural identity such as Senganan Dayak in Semabi. This new identity is the consequence for those who convert to Islam as they do not abandon the Dayak identity. However, the massive conversion of Dayak to Islam does not necessarily imply the downgrading of identity from Dayak to Malay; instead they still remain to be Dayak in spite of their conversion to new religion. Another transformation occurred within tradition such as the ritual of “ngantar buah pulang (bring fruit home)”. This Dayak indigenous ritual is replaced with Islamic kind of thanksgiving ritual and replaces the spelling of magic spell with supplication to God Almighty.

Abstract

This paper discusses why the schools were well-liked and flourished; what factors drive this phenomenon? Different from many studies that have analyzed the development of integrated Islamic schools in general in Indonesia, this article focuses on the more specific Jambi case. Using social movement theory, this article argues that in addition to liberal policies that open wide opportunities for anyone to express themselves in the public sphere, including Islamists, the need for the Jambi Malay community for religious education is also an important factor. While previously this need was fulfilled by the presence of traditional Malay madrasas, which teach Islam in the afternoon after students return from school, the education standardization policy implemented by the Indonesian government has made their existence dete­riorate. Taking advantage of these conditions, inte­grated Islamic schools have emerged to offer a full-day Islamic education model to the Muslim middle class, who are anxious about their children’s future due to lack of supervision after their time is up for work.

Abstract

This article discusses how Islamic law was made (al-tashrī’ al-Islamī) to fit into Bylaw Number 3, 2006 about the Eradication of Commercial Sexual Exploitation in the City of Surakarta, Central Java. The creation of this bylaw saw heated debates about the ideological understanding of religious life of the purists and political discord among different fractions in the Regional House of People’s Represen­tatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah, DPRD) of the City of Surakarta. Even though much debate went on, agreement was finally reached that the widespread prostitution and commercial sexual exploitation in the city had to be stopped because it caused moral damages on children and teenagers. This agreement was reached to meet the objective of al-tashrī’ (maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah) or in order to create a condition of harmony in accordance with moral values and religious norms. To present a complete picture, this study uses the grounded research on how law was made on the basis of different interests either at political or ideological level.

Abstract

This article reviews the novel ‘Adhrā’ Jākartā (Jakartanese Girl) by Najīb al-Kylānī. Through the approach of feminist literary criticism and the hermeneutic `method it’s aimed to express the autonomy of Indonesian Islamic women within the novel by interpreting the structure of symbols or texts in a number of language signs in the literary system. The results of the analysis revealed that the character of Fāṭimah is a symbol which represents the concept of autonomy of Indonesian Islamic women in the public and domestic sphere due to the universal and cosmopolitan Islamic values that Fāṭimah implements in personal, social, national, and civil life. This universal and cosmopolitan Islam illustrates an Islamic paradigm offered by the author to be translated into a unity in diversity of Indonesian context, so as to be able to present the figure of an autonomous Indonesian Muslim woman in a pluralistic and elastic Indonesian context.

Abstract

The article examines the thoughts of Maimoen Zubair (1929–2019), one of Indonesia's most eminent traditional Muslim scholars, in relation to his attitudes and views on issues of nationality and religious tolerance. Examining this subject is critical because the community's tolerance level is declining, and few studies examine the figures' perspectives on the subject. To gain a better understanding of Maimoen Zubair's thoughts, this research employed a qualitative approach, which included an interview with him and an analysis of his works and lectures. The study finds that Maimoen Zubair holds progressive views on nationality issues, emphasizing the critical importance of preserving nationalism as a means of uniting a nation. This is something that all communities, regardless of their religious affiliation, should do. Individuals cannot worship in peace and comfort if communal conflicts occur. According to him, a country will achieve unity when its citizens respect and tolerate one another. His attitudes and views are derived from traditional Islamic teachings and the traditions of Pesantren (Islamic boarding school), where he studied. Maimoen Zubai's views on nationality are widely accepted in Indonesia, not just among Muslims.

Abstract

The Republic of Turkey was established in 1923 after the Treaty of Sevres and Lausanne were ratified by the Turkish nationalists led by Mustafa Kamal. This establishment has marked the beginning of a new era in the political, social, economic, and cultural lives of Turks. The main concern for Turkish statesmen was laicism. The policy has a significant effect on the global world, especially for the Dutch Indies. The purpose of this article is to provide a critical analysis of the roles of Indonesian-language newspapers in informing Dutch Indies citizens about Turkey's secularization process and how newspapers served as the primary medium for disseminating information about Turkey. Through newspapers, Muslims from Nusantara (the archipelago) expressed their views on the Turks’ secularisation efforts. This study employed a historical method using contemporary Indonesian-language newspapers from the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia. The news of Turkey’s secularisation had a significant impact on the thoughts of Indonesian secularists and Muslims in laying the nation’s foundation in the 1940s.

Abstract

This article explains the mystical practices of Javanese shamans (dukun) called wong pinter and analyzes different types of these practices by comparing definitions, actions, and mystical features discussed in various studies. This article uses field studies and in-depth interviews, the data were analyzed based on theories of mysticism. The study shows that the wong pinter also practices mysticism rooted in Islam and manifests in history especially the history of Islamic mysticism in Indonesia in general and in Java in particular. The study finds that the characteristics of shamans mysticism are substantive, non-formalist, and altruistic. This finding supports the view that shamanism is rooted in Islamic mysticism and is open to discourses of mysticism from other religions. This study does not discuss the level of mystical actions nor does it distinguish categories of mystical practices found in many shaman groups.
