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.

VISHNU IN TWO CLASSICAL JAVANESE ISLAMIC TEXTS: Continuity and Harmony among the Javanese Revisited

Abstract

This paper discusses the character of Wisnu (Vishnu) in Javanese culture as seen from two classical Javanese Islamic texts, namely Babad Tanah Jawi and Serat Suluk Warna-warni. Based on the two texts, this paper argues that Vishnu has been historically inseparable from the development of Islam in Java. Called the first king in the Land of Java, Vishnu was seen as the progenitor for the hereditary rulers of Java up to the Kingdom of Mataram Islam. In the texts, Vishnu underwent a transformation from one of the major deities in Hinduism to an important figure in the development of Islam in Java. Vishnu's reincarnation is also present in the form of artifacts and various wayang (shadow puppet) plays. In the context of Java, Vishnu and Islam represent a form of continuity that emphasizes the importance of the harmony of the universe. The presence of Vishnu and Islam brought safety and peace into the life of the Javanese. This study is expected to inspire the idea that revisiting literary works of the past could contribute to efforts to develop a peaceful and harmonious cultural life in Java.

In order to limiting the scope of the research, this study highlights on the extent of religious teaching and how the teaching are synchronized with of the plurality values  in schools that consists of diverse ethnicity and culture in one hand, and diverse religious beliefs outside the schools, in another hand. The main problem statement is how the plurality values are instilled at Islamic schools in Makassar. The instilling process of plural values is tilled at Islamic schools in Makassar. The instilling process of plural values and culture is qualitative with socio-cultural pedagogical approach.

Also, it is not yet concretely reflected in the curriculum.
Constructing Indonesian Religious Pluralism: The Role of Nahdlatul Ulama in Countering Violent Religious Extremism

Show Abstract | Download Original | Original Source | Check in Google Scholar | DOI: 10.15642/JIIS.2021.15.2.433-464

Abstract

This paper explores the role of the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the largest Muslim organisation in Indonesia, in advocating and practicing religious pluralism. It examines the organisation’s commitment to fostering religious pluralism and the institutionalisation of the principle of religious pluralism by interviewing and observing a number of NU administrators and/or activists from the national to the village level, and by reviewing official documents of the NU and articles in media published in East Java and Central Java. The article argues that the NU’s commitment to fostering religious pluralism develops through the organisation’s denunciation of various forms of religious violence and through mainstreaming moderate Islam. The article also contends that the NU’s notion of pluralism and its practices are not monolithic for there has been a spectrum of pluralism within the NU, ranging from the communal to liberal types of tolerance.

Abstract

This paper comes with new perspectives in understanding the dynamics of Papuan society in relation to Islam and local “strongman”, especially in the frame of religious harmony. It enriches the research of how national political contestation affects the dynamics of religious harmony in Jayapura, Papua, through three important distinctions: first, socio-anthropological studies on how Islam and Muslim groups dynamics relate to the transformation of the society; second, the analysis of Islamic religious leaders’ roles in building religious harmony through local “strongman” perspective; third, the reframing of efforts in creating harmony in national, religious, and social life with multi-track diplomacies approach. This research with those three focuses results in a final lexicology: “building values/cultures does not mean tearing down entirely the existing ones; creating religious harmony does not need to eliminate teachings of any religions”. In other words, the process of assimilation, acculturation, and segregation at the most micro-level interactions, even individuals, has always to be recognized as an effort to create cultural amalgamation. In that way, local leaders of indigenous Papuans, bossism, and those who take refuge in cultural-structural organizations would never feel threatened with each other.
THE IDENTITY OF SHI‘A SYMPATHIZERS IN CONTEMPORARY INDONESIA

Abstract

This paper sheds some light on Indonesian Shi‘a sympathizers, their particular relations among themselves as well as with others. Following the Iranian Revolution by the late 1970, Indonesian Muslims witnessed a remarkable religious enthusiasm marked by the proliferation of Shi‘a literature. This, in turn, is followed by the establishment of Shi‘a- based institutions, Islamic schools, publishers and associations over the regions. However, in a Sunni majority country like Indonesia, the identity of Shi‘a sympathizers is contested by various religious inclinations among themselves as well as with Indonesian Sunnis. Due to strong suspicion from the Sunnis, the outward appearance of Indonesian Shi‘i identity is not as visible as the Sunnis. It goes without saying that public discourse disappears. Some efforts to communicate with broader scope of Indonesian Muslims have been made by Shi‘a sympathizers, especially among new generations, in order to strengthen their community as well as carry out a more open and productive dialog with the Sunnis.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of the hijab on women's personal security, body image, and cultural perceptions in Indonesian and Pakistani contexts. Twenty-three female participants, aged 15-50, who regularly wear the hijab, participated in semi-structured interviews selected through purposive sampling. Thematic analysis of the interviews highlighted the hijab's role in providing safety and protection, influenced by cultural norms and the Islamic principle of ‘Wajib’ (obligatory practice). Both Pakistani and Indonesian women perceived the hijab as enhancing beauty, modesty, and comfort, challenging stereotypes and empowering women. Indonesian participants reported encountering job-related challenges due to hijab requirements, while Pakistani women faced fewer such obstacles. Overall, the hijab was positively perceived in both societies, symbolizing religious devotion, personal choice, and cultural significance. This research addresses a significant gap by examining the hijab's influence on personal security and body image among Indonesian and Pakistani women, contributing valuable insights into lesser-known aspects of hijab perception.
