Abstract

Ample local traditions serve as the catalysts that help build social integration within multicultural society. The social inclusion is developed when people from diverse ethnic and religious groups are deliberate to engage. The perang topat festival is a local tradition in Lombok, Indonesia, which includes two communities from different ethnicities and religions: Balinese-Hindus and Sasak-Muslims. The festival has been celebrated for years and has contributed significantly to maintaining harmony between various ethno-religious groups. This article is an ethnographic research report of the perang topat festival. The tradition has existed as a symbol of civic engagement between Muslims and Hindus. Nevertheless, Muslim puritans have recently criticized and banned Muslims’ participation in the perang topat festival. The Muslim puritans believe that integrating religious rituals with traditions is a bid’ah (heresy). On the other hand, Muslim proponents of perang topat justify it through the construction of symbolic meanings of the festival site, utensils, and rituals in accordance with Islamic concepts.

Abstract

This paper analyzes Nahdlatul Ulama’s (NU) involvement in Indonesia's 2024 Presidential Election, focusing on the convergence of ideological and pragmatic motives. The study examines how different factions within NU align with various presidential candidates, driven by both the desire to protect Aswaja values and the need to maintain relevance in the political sphere. Using qualitative methods by conducting in-depth interviews with several NU circle and political party elites at national and local levels, inside and outside Java, and in the NU-base and non-NU Base regions, this study finds that NU’s political engagement often reflects a mix of ideological commitments to maintain Aswaja doctrine and the non-ideological motives which are the proximity to the party or candidate motive, patronage motive, and economic incentives and access to power motive. The research also highlights the challenges NU faces in maintaining neutrality while navigating the complexities of electoral politics. These diverse interests have ultimately led to polarization within NU and prove that NU is not a monolithic political force. Thus, this paper argues that NU's political participation is an unavoidable aspect of its identity, shaped by ongoing tensions between religious principles and the demands of a changing political landscape.

Abstract

This article discusses the history of the teachings (kitab) of Bulugh al-Maram as they have developed in the pesantren tradition. It became popular in Indonesia since Indonesian Islam is generally of the Sunni-Syafi’i school. Aside from being influenced by the different streams of Islam that have made their way to Indonesia, Islamic scholars who have studied or worked in the Mecca and return to Indonesia with new knowledge continue to spread the teachings of the Syafi’i school of thought. The reputation of Ibn Hajar has been brought back by Indonesian Islamic scholars who have been to the Middle East. The effect of this movement of Islamic renewal has put pressure on the Al Quran and the Sunnah. There are three methods used in studying the kitab at the Pesantren Al-Munawwir in Krapyak. Firstly, the lecture method, which is a method practiced in most of the areas of study in this pesantren. Secondly, the question-answer method, in which the Kiai/Nyai invites santri to comment and ask questions about matters they do not yet understand. Thirdly, assignments method, in which one student is given the task of reading the Kitab Bulugh al-Maram min Adillat al-Ahkam aloud, and when a section is complete the other students give their interpretation of the text one by one.
REINFORCEMENT OF SOCIAL STRATIFICATION THROUGH THE USE OF SPEECH LEVELS IN MADURESE TRANSLATION OF QUR’ANIC DIALOGUE VERSES

Abstract

Despite the apparent egalitarian principles and language of the Qur’an, the use of speech level in the Madurese translation’s dialogue verses appears to reinforce social stratification, which has existed for a long in society. The current article seeks to map the typology of relationships underlying the use of speech level, its determinant factors and implications. To achieve this, a critical discourse analysis was employed, with the main source being one version of the Qur’anic Madurese translation published by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs in 2018. Close reading of the verses to gather representative samples, coding, categorization mapping, analysis, and creative synthesis-making were all part of the analysis process. The findings suggest that there are two main types of relationship patterns: hierarchical and egalitarian. These patterns are influenced by factors such as social status, family connections, and the surrounding circumstances. The former focuses on the manifestation of cultural nuances in the translations of the verses, whereas the latter is primarily concerned with the impact on real-life social dynamics.

Abstract

Relationship between economy and religion had been known for long time ago as it was found in Max Weber’s books “The Protestant Ethic and The Spirit of Capitalism” and “The Protestant Sects and The Spirit of Capitalism”. This paper examines the extent to which mysticism practices have been conducted among the employers and employees of Batik Industries in Pekalongan City. It argues that mysticism has an important role to reinforce the social capital and make the industry survive, especially to face many problems related to productivity, motivation, trust as well as wage issues. By practicing mystics and religious traditions, like dhikiran, manakiban, hawl and muludan, people have spiritual force which has an important role both for personally and professionally in the work place, especially to maintain the relationship between employees and employers. Also they could be stronger when faced the changes and challenges of business and their industry can survive.

Abstract

Halal Industries have persistently become an important issue globally, including in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the strategies for halal industry development implemented by business actors in Indonesia as well as provide Indonesian Muslim’s responses and sharia compliance to halal context in their life. Using a mixed methodological approach with Analytical Network Process with religious leaders, academic and economics experts, local government, and business actors as the participants, it found that the strategies used to develop halal industry are not appropriate due to internal factors such as lack of standardization, branding, and limited human resources, and external ones which are the absence of a roadmap for halal industry and less supports from the government. Improving effective government policies and training human resources are among the strategies that might be applied. However, it also found greater attention among Indonesian Muslim and non-Muslim communities consuming halal products and enjoying halal experiences as their sharia compliance and lifestyle.

Abstract

Islam has been understood differently by its adherents. Muslims from different intellectual currents of thought develop sharp difference in their interpretation of Islamic teachings. Muslims of Indonesia are not an exemption. In their effort to make Islam more acceptable in the local context, they have presented a form of Islam hardly found in another part of the Muslim world. This article is an attempt to make a contribution in what is called the “Indonesian version” of Islam. The article speaks of two kinds of Indonesian Islam, namely ideological and intellectual aspects.  The former is represented by the political currents aspired to “formalize” Islam as the state religion, while the latter is a pure academic movement aimed at “localizing” Islam in tune with the local values and norms. The paper tries to trace the deep reaches of these two forms of Indonesian Islam and delve into their internal dynamics. While it finds the idea of ideologising and localizing Islam to be originally Indonesian, the paper discovers that the contents of that idea are apparently imported.

Abstract

The Riau-Lingga Sultanate, previously known as the Sultanate of Johore, covered a large region which included the Riau-Lingga islands, Singapore, some parts of Malaya and some parts of the Sumatera eastern coasts. It was considered a powerful Malay kingdom in the region. However, after the defeat of the Yang Dipertuan Muda Riau Raja Haji in 1784, which was followed by the one-sided Anglo-Dutch Treaty in 1824, the sultanate became divided, with only a small part of the region remaining under its rule. This paper attempts to explore the role of ‘ulama’ in Riau Lingga during the Dutch colonial politics in the region, especially in relation to the discussion of the development of Islam in the early twentieth century Indonesia. It discusses the role and contribution some of the most influential scholars and ‘Ulama’ in the sultanate included Raja Ali Tengku Kelana also known as Raja Ali Kelana, Raja Hitam or Raja Khalid Hitam, Raja Abdul Rahman Kecik, Raja Muhammad and the candidate for the Riau-Lingga sultan, Tengku Besar.

Abstract

This paper discusses the issue of religious education in relation to the challenge of religious multiculturalism in Indonesia. The focus of this paper is to find out the kind of religious education that is compatible with the challenge of religious multiculturalism. By employing the concept of religious multiculturalism and theory of religious education, this paper argues that to face the challenge of religious multiculturalism it is necessary to change the model of religious education from within, at and beyond the wall. Religious education “in” the wall contributes to shape an exclusive model of religiosity; while religious education “at” and “beyond” the wall contributes to shape an inclusive multiculturalistic model of religiosity. The last two models are applicable in Indonesia in order to face the challenge of multiculturalism, because both of them help students to accept, respect, and value religious differences. Religious education should show that the common enemy of religion is not people of different faiths, but poverty, corruption, violence, ignorance, and the like, and they have to stand together to fight against these true enemies.
