Abstract

This study examines the insertion of Biblical sources as references in Tafsir Soerat Wal-’Asri by Siti Chayati, a Javanese Quranic exegete who interprets chapter 103 (al-Asr) of the Quran in Javanese using Javanese Script. The Chayati’s work using some Biblical verses of Barnabas, Matthew, and John as its references, is unique and thought-provoking to understand the motives and its historical background. This study finds that the use of Bible verses in her work was aimed to strengthen her claims on the truth of Islamic teachings against the missionary activities of the Dutch in Java. At the beginning of the 20th century, they attempted to weaken the Islamic community by conducting the Zending movement and establishing Seminary Christian Schools in several regencies in Java. Therefore, debates on religious concepts had become a central issue to win the heart of the traditional Javanese society. The tensions between Christian missionaries and Muslim preachers in that era turned out to be significant factors influencing the insertion of Biblical references in the work of Chayati’s Quranic exegesis.

Abstract

This paper is concerned with exploring the dissemination and politization of radical Islamic ideology in Makassar. Little has been done to study this important issue. How did radical ideology develop from time to time in Makassar and how has it evolved to become the political power in the region have gone unnoticed. This paper tries to fill this gap. It assumes that radical ideology is a form of discourse, going through a paradigmatic test in which it was criticized, deconstructed, constructed and reconstructed. The paper is part of the attempts to deconstruct radical ideology by means of dismantling two main factors that have caused it to flourish, the actors and organizations of the ideology. A particular attention is give to the following two issues, in what way the ideology may be regarded as a discourse, and how this discourse is being translated into an ideology. These two specific problems becomes the centre of the analysis together with the process in which they intermingle.

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

This article is concerned about everyday practice of marriage in religious community of Sumbersari, in Pasuruan, East Java. It analyses how actors and norms are involved to shape the practice. It also relates them to individual agencies of the couples. Materials of this article are based on my fieldwork that I did in early 2017. In this article, I suggest that the ideas of an ideal marital spouse are generally conceptualised in the set of localised notions of chastity (kesucian), good manner (apik), and good fortune (mompong) that necessarily culminate in the identity as santri (pious muslim). However, the implementation of these ideas are much dependent upon the roles of pelantar (traditional matchmaker) who mediates the communication of the two families concerned. In addition to pelantar, kyai (muslim cleric) is indeed important in the production of an Islam-based legal norm to control sexual morality that sometimes confronts against the state legal norm. Increasing participation in formal education and the rise of women’s mobility have challenged this pattern. Girls have an autonomy to choose her preferred partner. Mutual love becomes more important, although the decision of marriage timing sometimes still belongs to the parents’ authority.

Abstract

With the Presidential Decree on Hari Santri Nasional (National Santri Day) in 2015, the debate on Clifford Geertz’ trichotomy of santri-priyayi-abangan reemerges in Indonesian society. This article, first, intends to delineate the meaning of the trichotomy. Second, it summarizes three main critiques of the trichotomy, namely: 1) priyayi is more appropriately included in the category of social class, not religious category; 2) as social identity, abangan was not the term generally accepted by people in that category; 3) the category is not rigid and, in term of religiosity, most of Javanese people were actually in the grey area between santri and abangan. This article then shows that even though the trichotomy has drawn criticism from scholars, it has been accepted as a standard categorization of Indonesian society. The application of this trichotomy was not limited in the study of religion or anthropology, but it has been used in history, politics, economy, and military studies. The new challenges of this concept, i.e. the inclusion of social class or Marxist perspective in studying Java and the divergent of santri in contemporary time, which contributes to the reemergence of the trichotomy with a new spectrum is the last focus of this article.

Abstract

The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Religion, has officially translated the Qur'an to understand the content and context of the Qur'an. This translation became the only official translation for many years and serves as a public reference. However, such translation is not always well-received; some agree with it by offering notes, while some disagree and suggest new translations because they are considered biased, including gender bias. One of the verses that reflects gender bias is the translation of the Qur'an al-Nisa [4]:3 regarding polygamy. This paper analyzes the translation of the Qur'an by comparing the opinions of two Indonesian scholars, namely Siti Musdah Mulia and Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir. This research employs a qualitative methodology, focusing on literature study, interviews, and lecture observations conducted by the two scholars. This paper concludes that Kodir disagreed with the government's translation and offered a new translation regarding the verse on polygamy, while Mulia gave a different interpretation and approach to understanding the text.

Abstract

Taqnin with the meaning of legislation on Islamic aspects actually has been a long story in Indonesia. It can be traced in Islamic courts in the archipelago. In the colonial era, the Dutch once accommodated certain aspects of Islamic law, until they decided to limit it. It especially can be seen in the institution of religious court. After the independence, the taqnin was reintroduced. It can be seen from the Piagam Jakarta (Jakarta Charter) which included the statement of “Belief in God Almighty by following the sharia for its adherents”. However, this statement was edited to accommodate the aspiration of non-Muslims and the nationalists. In the following periods, legislation of certain aspects of Islam gained momentum in the late period of the New Order after Suharto sought political supports from Muslims. In the reformation era, the democratic atmosphere has opened a wider space for the efforts of taqnin.

Abstract

This article discusses the electoral contestation and eventual defeat of Islamic parties in Indonesia's past 2024 general election. Data for this article were collected using a mixed-methods approach. Field research was conducted by the authors between March and June 2022. In addition, the authors also collected data from articles written in various national and international journals, as well as official government offices. Collected data were subsequently analyzed using the perspectives of political sociology and gender justice. Islamic parties and nationalist parties sought to gain the votes of Indonesia's Muslim-majority population by raising such issues as women, education, poverty, and the revival and survival of Islam both at home and abroad. This article also argues that the future of Indonesian Islam lies in two civil society organizations, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama, which represent the moderate Islam. Political Islam, conversely, relies on an essentialist understanding of Islam to attract voter support. Islamic parties do not share a clear political ideology, nor do religious-nationalist parties.

Abstract

Online social media has been widely used by Muslim preachers in Indonesia. This research critically examines the activities of Instagram account @edhnx which spreads da‘wa messages of popular preachers massively on his Instagram account. The research uses a qualitative approach with virtual ethnographic methods. The context of public space which is close to freedom actually harbors discourses of domination and reputation. The da‘wa messages from popular preachers are deliberately disseminated to get audience responses in the form of opinions, interactions and participation. As it progressed, audience responses became increasingly diverse. This then creates an ideal public space, namely a public space that fulfills the activities of a multicultural society. Thus, social media accounts are not only used as a space for mutually beneficial interaction. Ownership of public space gives rise to control of digital public space through preaching messages that can be carried out by anyone without having to first become a preacher. Social media accounts ultimately become an ideal public space to demonstrate dominance as a subject controlling space which can be done openly and freely by utilizing da‘wa messages.

Abstract

Sufi tradition has grown significantly in the modern Muslim world, including Indonesia. Currently, Sufism has been not only practiced by villagers, peasants, and non-educated people, but also practiced by urbanites, national elites, and educated people. Moreover, it has experienced significant innovation in terms of its practices and organization. This article takes an in-depth look at the innovationof Sufi tradition socially and structurally in Indonesia. It argues that majelis dzikir and shalawat in Indonesia, like Nurul Mustafa, has represented a new Sufi group that arises out of tarekat group, a group that has been considered as ‘official institution’ in implementing Sufism. The Majelis Nurul Mustafa has strong basis in  urban society, rises from urban majelis taklim, introduces Sufi teaching to its jamā`ah that mostly urban teenagers and youths uses popular methods to attract the interest of those groups to attend its ritual as the complementary of its activity.
