Abstract

Islam in the Nusantara has a close connection with its history of arrival and spread, including its role in the political sphere during the era of the sultanates, particularly in the Sumatra region. This paper discusses the characteristics of Islam and its influence in shaping political power during that period. The study begins by tracing the early history of Islam’s arrival in the Nusantara, which remains a topic of debate among historians. Initially, Islam appeared as small communities in coastal areas, driven by trade, maritime activities, and the spread of Islamic teachings (dakwah). These communities later developed into centers of political power, such as the Sultanate of Aceh, with significant influence on intellectualism and the international dissemination of Islam. The formation of Islamic communities in the Nusantara, particularly in coastal areas, marked the early stages of Islam’s development in the region. According to Taufik Abdullah et al. in *Sejarah Umat Islam Indonesia* (*The History of Islam in Indonesia*), between the 1st and 5th century Hijri (7th to 13th century CE), Muslim traders and preachers played an essential role in introducing Islam through communities amidst the maritime hegemony of Sriwijaya and the Hindu-Buddhist cultural setting. These communities eventually evolved into Islamic centers of power, such as Aceh in Sumatra; Demak, Pajang, and Mataram in Java; Gowa-Tallo and Bone in Sulawesi; and Ternate and Tidore in Maluku. The spread of Islam in the Nusantara is inseparable from the political dynamics, power structures, and political traditions of each kingdom. Besides religious motivations, political and economic interests also influenced the patterns of Islam’s dissemination and the formation of Islamic societies. In the political realm, Islam was initially used to strengthen the position of Islamic kingdoms in facing threats from non-Islamic powers, such as the Portuguese and the Dutch East India Company (VOC), which sought to monopolize maritime trade. Thus, Islam not only became a religious identity but also an essential tool in building political and economic power in the Nusantara.

Abstract

The discourse of being environmentally friendly has become increasingly prevalent in various aspects of life, often associated with terms like go green, ecotechnology, and biodiversity. This concept, originally aimed at encouraging environmental conservation and mitigating global warming, is sometimes utilized superficially to legitimize industrial and governmental activities. Products and actions labeled as environmentally friendly, from household items to large-scale projects, frequently use this designation more as a marketing or legitimizing tool than a genuine commitment to sustainable practices. Through the lens of ecological politics, it becomes evident that this discourse can mask underlying social and environmental injustices. Ecological politics, influenced by neo-Marxian thought, critiques the superficial use of the environmentally friendly label, highlighting how power dynamics and economic inequalities contribute to environmental degradation. This approach urges a critical examination of such labels, revealing their potential to serve as symbolic violence and perpetuate social inequality. The need for raising public awareness about the true impact of these discourses is emphasized, promoting a critical perspective on the empirical reality of environmentally friendly claims. This abstract underscores the importance of scrutinizing the authenticity of environmentally friendly initiatives, advocating for a more profound and genuine commitment to environmental justice and sustainability.

Abstract

This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of Cirebon City Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2013 concerning the Prohibition of the Distribution and Sale of Alcoholic Beverages. The primary focus of this research lies in examining the substance of the regulation, particularly the formulation of the definition of “alcoholic beverages,” as well as its implementation through public dissemination and law enforcement mechanisms. The study employs a qualitative approach using content analysis of regulatory documents, supported by relevant literature review. The findings indicate that there is potential ambiguity in the definition of “alcoholic beverages” as stipulated in the regulation, which may lead to multiple interpretations among law enforcement authorities and the public. This ambiguity poses challenges to the effective implementation of the policy, particularly in monitoring and enforcement processes. Furthermore, the study reveals that dissemination efforts have not been fully optimal in terms of coverage and intensity, resulting in varying levels of public understanding regarding the regulation. In addition, law enforcement faces several constraints, including limited resources and inconsistencies in the application of sanctions. Based on these findings, the study concludes that the successful implementation of the regional regulation largely depends on the clarity of its normative substance, the effectiveness of dissemination strategies, and the consistency and firmness of law enforcement. Therefore, it is necessary to refine the definition to be more precise and operational, enhance public outreach efforts, and strengthen coordination among law enforcement agencies to achieve the intended regulatory objectives effectively.

Abstract

The relationship between Islam and politics has evolved across various historical periods, ranging from the classical, colonial, to post-colonial eras. During the colonial period, organizations such as Sarekat Islam, Muhammadiyah, and Nahdlatul Ulama in Indonesia formulated forms of resistance and socio-political reform grounded in Islamic principles. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern thinkers such as Jamal al-Din al-Afghani and Muhammad Abduh led reform movements that sought to harmonize Islamic values with the demands of modernity. This study aims to understand the complex relationship between Islam and politics through a holistic and transdisciplinary approach. In the context of globalization, modern values such as democracy and human rights often interact with Islamic principles, creating the need for deeper dialogue. This research employs a qualitative approach and literature study, utilizing relevant scholarly sources to establish a strong theoretical foundation. The findings indicate that political understanding in Islam encompasses not only structures of power but also ethical and moral values that function to achieve justice and the common good. A transdisciplinary approach enables the integration of various fields of study—including sociology, theology, and political science—to generate a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of Islam–politics relations. This study also highlights the importance of social and cultural contexts in the application of Islamic principles within the political sphere, as well as the challenges of reconciling traditional values with modern demands. Thus, this research contributes to the reconstruction of Islamic political thought that is adaptive and inclusive, capable of accommodating contemporary changes without compromising the essential teachings of Islam.

Abstract

Pancasila as the basis of the Indonesian state plays an important role in shaping the nation's character, including in education at the elementary level. This article aims to analyze the implementation of Pancasila values ​​and principles in building the character of grade 1 SD/MI students at SDN 001 Sangatta Utara. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, which involves observation, interviews with teachers, and document analysis. The results of the research show that the application of Pancasila values ​​in learning in class 1 of SDN 001 Sangatta Utara has a positive impact on the development of students' character, which is reflected in religious attitudes, mutual respect and mutual cooperation. However, challenges such as limited time and learning media are obstacles to its implementation. This research recommends the importance of strengthening Pancasila education more systematically to shape national character from an early age.
