Abstract

Bani Alawiyyin is Arabian Muslims community scattering around the world. Their diaspora is due to many factors and motivations: religion (mission), economy, politic, culture, and so on. They are well-known as a community who hold tenacious principle in disseminating Islamic teaching based on the principle of rahmatan lil ‘ālamīn (blessing to universe). This article endeavors to cast light upon social-religious activities that have been practiced by Bani Alawiyyin prioritizing the courtesy aspects of all mankind. This article is also aiming at presenting data findings which can explain that Bani Alawiyyin had truly proselytized non-radical mission among people in Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. This article also elucidates the role of Bani Alawiyyin especially in the form of institutional organization in transmitting Islamic doctrine in a peaceful mission. The finding shows that many organization are used by Bani Alawiyyin to spread Islamic teaching in different countries that lead to the success of their mission by determining local and indigenous factors.

Abstract

The phenomenon of socio-political-religious life in the Middle East is a complete contrast to the socio-political-religious life in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia and in Malay world in general. The changing of socio-political leadership in Indonesia from the New Order to Reformation Order (1998) is relatively smooth, followed by the violence-free legislative election and the presidential election in 2004, 2009, and 2014. Meanwhile, the changing of socio-political leadership in the Middle East countries (the Arab Spring) are always overshadowed and followed by socio-political conflict and religious violence causing a lot of casualties. Socio-political life of the Muslim commu­nities in Indonesia and in Malay world takes a different path from the Middle Eastern societies, and also form South Asia. Over the leadership transition in Indonesia, which is Islam as the majority, it can be run peacefully without violence and casualties. This paper will review the Indonesian Muslim intellectuals’ contribution—as an integral part of Malay world—to the development of Southeast Asian Islamic thoughts and its contribution in framing moderate-progressive Muslim in Malay world in caring for diversity, inclusion, openness, peace and harmony in the current global world.

Abstract

This article aims to determine the concept, practice, and results of abhkate, a good attitude toward parents of Madurese society from Islamic education perspec­tive. This study utilizes a qualitative approach, employing data collection methods such as interviews, obser­vations, and document analysis. The data were analyzed through a process that includes reduction, presen­tation, verification, and the formulation of conclu­sions. Concep­tually, abhakte is a translation of the concept of birr al-walidayn in Islam. Forms of abhakte in Madurese culture include: andhap asor, mabhunga, ajhaga bhagussa, nyambhung bhala, majar otang, sandhekka, amoljaaghi, dhuwa'aghi, and mintaaghi sapora. Madurese society strives to maintain the abhakte culture by practicing: ngajhi gik anak (learning Islam from an early age), nyantre (learning in Islamic boarding school education), ebada (religious rituals), and kabiyasaan sabhalaan (family traditions). Meanwhile, the results of the implementation of abhakte in the social interactions of Madurese society include: koko agamana (strong adherence to Islamic teachings), taretan sadhaja (organized in a family structure), sangkolan bhagus (maintai­ning good traditions in society), tonggal dara (strengthening a sense of togetherness), and akor salanjhanga (minimizing the risk of social conflict).
PANCASILA: A Contemporary Application of Maqasid al-Shari‘ah?

Abstract

This paper proposes that the traditional principle of maqasid al-Shari‘ah, or the higher intentions and object­tives of Islamic law, can go beyond the realm of theoretical Islamic jurisprudence and is made manifest in practical politics. I argue that the most robust example of this phenomenon occurs in Indonesia. I therefore examine whether or not the concept of Indonesia’s ‘secular’ and natio­nalistic doctrine of Pancasila, the Five Principles, can be construed as a contemporary application of maqasid al-Shari‘ah. This study strives to link the classical jurispru­dential tool of maqasid al-Shari‘ah, as discussed by al-Ghazālī (d. 1111), al-Shātibī (d. 1388) and more recently by Muham­mad al-Tahir Ibn ‘Āshūr (d. 1973), with the contemporary model of Pancasila.

Abstract

This study aims to provide an alternative insight into understanding Islamic populism. Previously, there has been a long debate about how to frame Islamic populism in Indonesia. The first approach tends to believe that Islamic populism is a product of economic inequality, while the second approach underlies the increasing use of religious identity to mobilize people. Considering both sides, this paper used critical review analysis to find out the gap amidst the existing literature. The result shows that, Islamic populism within the Indonesian context seems to be an emotional movement among especially urban Muslim middle class in that attempts to bring religion into line with dogmatic political preferences. They frustrated with existing Islamic political parties which they considered abandoning true Islamic agenda such as implementation of Islamic law and Islamic leadership so that they resorted to populism. This attitude has grown up recently, especially to 212 movement, “Aksi Bela Ulama” and “Aksi Bela Islam” to keep Islam as the majority.

Show Abstract | Download Original | Original Source | Check in Google Scholar | DOI: 10.15642/JIIS.2024.18.1.127-154

Abstract

This article aims to describe the use of the Aboge calendar system in Jambi Sultanate manuscripts and analyze the historical context of the period. The research used the philological method to elaborate the manuscripts and then applied historical and astronomical approaches to study the texts. The study involved some 17th to 20th-century manuscripts of the Sultanate of Jambi that use colophons in the Aboge calendar style. Although some of the Aboge calendars in the manuscripts cannot be converted into the Hijri and Christian calendars, the analysis of the Aboge calendar in these manuscripts strengthens the argument related to the influence of Javanese Kingdom of Mataram on the Jambi Sultanate, as known in Jambi Sultanate history, both power and cultural relations. In contrast, the use of the Aboge calendar in Jambi also shows the relationship between the Jambi Sultanate with Aceh and West Sumatra, where some of the Aboge reflect Aceh and Tariqa Shattariya modifications.
THE NEW PSEUDO-SUFI ORDER OF THE MAJELIS SHALAWAT AMONG URBAN MUSLIMS IN EAST JAVA

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.
THE PESANTREN-BASED RULING ELITE IN SUMENEP IN THE POST-NEW ORDER INDONESIA

Show Abstract | Download Original | Original Source | Check in Google Scholar | DOI: 10.15642/JIIS.2009.3.1.97-121

Abstract

This paper discusses a dominant group in local politics of Sumenep that is based on a pesantren network that is usually referred to as the Bani Syarqawi. The author argues that the superiority of religious clerics (kyai) over the mass in Sumenep has been mainly based on their adaptability to the transformational change of their role from traditional-charismatic to rational-authoritative by means of educational excellence and genealogical network that is both powerful and full of conflict. The social significance of the superiority found its way through a social change that enabled the religious elite to be the dominant elite group in Sumenep when the power of their royal counterpart declined rapidly. Equipped with Weberian model of authority, the author argues that the formalistic tendency of elite theory can be balanced with a perspective that elite can develop and exercise power over the mass even they are outside the formal structure of politics.

Abstract

The issue of local traditions and their position in Islamic law frequently still sparks disputes, tensions, and conflicts among Muslims in Lombok. Large number of Muslims willingly practice such traditions in their life, such as celebrating Islamic historical events such as maulid al-nabi (the prophet birthday), isra mi‘raj, and collective zikr while the others fiercely abhor them. For example. This article aims at delve on such issues to trace the intellectual roots of such difference, and to find further explanation in the view of Islamic legal theory. By qualitative analysis in normative, and sociological perspective, this research finds that the real thoughts of the early pious generation (salaf al-salih) are generally not as rigid as imagined, as claimed by many people. Finally, this research also finds, and constructs eight gates for accommodation of various recent cultural innovations, and local traditions, with specil reference in Lombok, into the construction of Islamic legal theory with certain conditions.
