Abstract

This article highlights the influence of Islamism and identity politics on Indonesian younger generation in the post truth era by emphasizing on the role of information technology and social media in spreading those ideologies. The research uses mixed methods of combining quantitative analysis with qualitative analysis, in which data are collected though questionnaire and interviews with those Indonesian Muslim youths as well as employing content analysis of social media accounts, religious publication, and education background. The results indicate that social media plays major role among the youths in the spread of Islamism ideas, whereas social, economic, and political factors significantly influence the acceptance of those ideologies. In addition, the institutions of education and religion shape the awareness of the youths, but curriculum improvement is still needed to promote religious pluralism and national resilience. This article recommends the reinforcement of national identity and cultural pluralism, including education policy  which will withstand the intrusion of Islamism  and identity politics in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study delves into the spiritual lives of Indonesian female migrant workers in Taiwan. It uncovers how these workers actively engage in pengajian (Islamic study sessions) to address spiritual needs. The research question in this study is how do pengajian contribute to fulfilling spiritual needs, strengthening communication networks, and forming national identity for Indonesian women migrant workers in Taiwan. This research uses a qualitative approach with an online data collection method, involving in-depth interviews with the management of the pengajian and participatory observation of its activities of Indonesian women migrant workers in Taiwan. The research reveals that these gatherings facilitate everyday Islamic jurisprudence studies, sufism moral introspection, Quranic learning, and salawat recitations. Additionally, these sessions foster robust communication networks among workers, enhancing their information exchange, relationships, and discussions. In uncertain conditions, these gatherings provide ideological reinforcement, social engagement, and a sense of national identity. The study suggests potential future research avenues in education and political ideology of these migrant workers.

Abstract

This article examines the narrative identity of the Muslim community in Pegayaman Village, located in Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency, Bali Province. As the oldest Muslim community on the predominantly Hindu island of Bali, the people of Pegayaman Village possess unique characteristics compared to other Muslim communities on the island. These include the tradition of combining Balinese and Arabic names for their descendants, the use of Arabic books translated into Balinese in daily life, and various forms of acculturation between Balinese traditions and Islamic teachings. These unique features suggest a dual identity for the Pegayaman community, representing themselves as both Balinese and Muslim. The theoretical framework for this study is Paul Ricoeur's narrative identity theory, while the research approach employs a qualitative method using narrative analysis and literature review. The findings indicate that both historical and fictional narratives contribute to the formation of the Pegayaman community's narrative identity. Meanwhile, the idem and ipse identities, reflected in the culture, traditions, and character of the Pegayaman community, are rooted in both extralinguistic and linguistic dimensions. Moreover, the narrative identity of the Pegayaman community generates ethical, aesthetic, and political implications for its members.

Abstract

This article describes and analyzes how the virtual communities of Nahdlatul Ulama Garis Lucu (Funny Brigade) have created a new religious culture in Indonesia through their Instagram posts. There are four important elements of their Instagram posts, namely the content, humor as a means of communication, interactions, and digital media as a new public sphere. The content analyzed is only a few samples related to three topics, i.e., religious teachings, religious practices, and religious conversions. The analysis is qualitative in nature, from a philosophical-conceptual point of view, especially through the lens of Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of the carnivalesque. Such a concept highlights the importance of humor in these Instagram posts. Humor brings trust, equality, and also incongruity. The interactions allow for dialogism, and the digital space provides ample freedom. This article concludes that the Nahdlatul Ulama Funny Brigade has created a new image of Islam in Indonesia through its virtual carnivalesque.

Abstract

Hadith, as Islam’s basic source, necessitates a thorough study to assure its authenticity and veracity. Scholars play an important role in explaining and strengthening the Muslim community’s grasp of hadith. The study looks at the contribution of four scholars to the establishment of hadith authority, namely Muhammad Kasyful Anwar, Muhammad Syuhudi Ismail, Ali Mustafa Yaqub, and Shamsuddin Siddiq. To investigate the perspectives and contributions of these four figures, descriptive analysis and a qualitative approach were applied. All data were gathered through a review of the literature and analyzed with ATLAS.ti software version 23.1.2.0. The findings show that these intellectuals made a difference through their ideas, works, and tangible legacies. The study concludes that the contributions of scholars are critical in upholding the authority, holiness, and validity of Islamic teachings. This study provides a thorough knowledge of the role of scholars in creating and expanding Muslim communities’ understanding of hadith. The findings of this study are likely to contribute to the advancement of hadith studies and religious understanding in hadith.

Abstract

This article discusses the important features of social reform contained in the explanation of Sura Yasin, Chapter 36 of the Qur'an through Tafsir al-Jalālayn, delivered by Baha' al-Din Nur Salim, known as Gus Baha'. It places Gus Baha's interpretation within hypothetical oral interpretation, which Nadia al-Ouznaji calls a type of interpretation that relies on direct discourse between the interpreter and the audience and is based on using the Qur'anic text in a dynamic, realistic way to reform the individual and society. As a qualitative research, it uses recordings of the interpretation of Surat Yasin by Tafsir al-Jalālayn uploaded on the Muhibbin Youtube channel as a primary source. Using a descriptive analytical approach, this research found that Gus Baha's oral interpretation is closely related to social reform because it is in direct contact with the reality of society and generates an impact on people to achieve a reformist goal. Secondly, Gus Baha's explanation of Surah Yus through Tafsir al-Jalālayn contains directives and instructions that call for the reform of individuals and society in various aspects and levels of doctrinal, moral, educational, and social reform. Thus, this research supports Al-Waznaji's argument that oral exegesis is closely related to the task of reforming society.

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the ideology of progressive Islam of the Muhammadiyah Young Intellectuals Network (JIMM), a progressive wing within Muhammadiyah. This provides a systematic discussion of the construction of the JIMM’s ideology, its genealogy, and its current development. This is primarily based on the qualitative data purposively collected through participatory observation and interviews, conducted mainly during the 2023 JIMM Congress in Yogyakarta. By employing a sociology of knowledge approach, this article finds that the progressive idea of JIMM is deeply rooted in and has a coherence with Muhammadiyah, particularly in Ahmad Dahlan’s ideology of progressive Islam which combines religious liberalisation and social liberation as embodied in the Al-Ma’un Theology and the Alleviation of Public Misery. We argue that in its recent evolution, JIMM’s ideology of progressive Islam has responded to various contemporary issues, as demonstrated by its activists who have proposed to focus more on the advocacy for human rights, gender justice, religious harmony, universal access to education, environmental stewardship, and caderisation.
