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.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of munakahat (Islamic family law), focusing on the legal requirements (syarat), pillars (rukun), and underlying wisdom (hikmah) of marriage in Islam. Using a normative library research approach based on the Qur’an, Hadith, and scholarly opinions, the study finds that marriage in Islam is not merely a social contract but an act of worship with legal and moral implications. The validity of marriage requires the fulfillment of key elements, including eligible spouses, a guardian (wali), two witnesses, ijab kabul, and mahr. These components ensure both the legal legitimacy of the marriage and the protection of the spouses’ rights. Furthermore, marriage aims to establish a harmonious family characterized by sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah, contributing to social and moral stability. This study highlights the importance of integrating legal norms and philosophical values in understanding Islamic marriage, particularly in contemporary contexts. It contributes to strengthening Islamic legal literacy in the field of munakahat.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the meaning of hadith as one of the primary sources of Islamic law. The research employs a literature study design, with data collection conducted through the review of scholarly journals, reference books, and publications relevant to the theme of Islamic legal sources, particularly hadith. The main findings indicate that hadith (or sunnah) encompasses all sayings, actions, and approvals attributed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), serving as essential guidance for human well-being alongside the Qur’an. However, the development and transmission of hadith have not been as straightforward as that of the Qur’an. Various doubts and even rejections have emerged alongside the evolution of hadith studies. Skepticism toward hadith reached a peak with the emergence of groups that deny the authority of the sunnah (Inkar al-Sunnah), including certain interpretations within Shia Islam that are often viewed as deviating from the perceived authenticity of Prophetic traditions. The implications of this study highlight the importance of enhancing public understanding of hadith in everyday life, enabling Muslims to apply Islamic teachings more effectively. The originality of this research lies in its comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of acceptance and rejection of hadith, particularly through the lens of Inkar al-Sunnah and Shia Islam perspectives, which are often underexplored in mainstream discussions on the authenticity of Islamic legal sources.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the fundamental framework of Islamic teachings, with a particular focus on the concept of Shariah and its integral role in the lives of Muslims. The research employs a qualitative library review method, drawing upon various Islamic texts and scholarly interpretations. The main findings indicate that Shariah constitutes a comprehensive set of divine laws ordained by Allah to guide human beings in their relationships with God, fellow humans, and the natural environment. A proper understanding and implementation of Shariah are essential for Muslims to live in accordance with Islamic principles. The study further highlights that inadequate understanding of Shariah may lead to moral and spiritual decline, as individuals may misinterpret or neglect its teachings. This study concludes by emphasizing the importance of integrating Shariah into daily life to ensure spiritual and moral well-being in line with Islamic values. The implications suggest that disseminating accurate knowledge of Shariah is crucial to prevent disorientation in religious and social practices among Muslims. It also underscores the need for improved educational programs on Shariah principles. The originality of this research lies in its comprehensive emphasis on Shariah as a fundamental pillar that not only governs acts of worship but also shapes all dimensions of Muslim life, including social interactions and environmental ethics, while identifying the potential negative impacts arising from its misinterpretation or lack of understanding.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Islamic perspective on Islamic Law, Human Rights, and Democracy. Specifically, it explores the fundamental principles within Islamic teachings that address justice, equality, and human dignity. The research employs a qualitative library study design, involving the analysis of primary religious texts such as the Qur’an and Sunnah, as well as relevant secondary literature. The main findings indicate that Islam contains principles that can be interpreted as compatible with modern human rights concepts and democratic governance. The concept of shura (consultation) and maqasid al-shariah emphasize the importance of public participation and human welfare. Fundamental rights such as the right to life, freedom of religion, and the right to justice are also explicitly recognized within Islamic tradition. However, this study also identifies areas of tension and diverse interpretations within Islamic thought regarding these concepts, particularly in their practical implementation in many Muslim-majority countries. A comparison with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights reveals significant points of convergence, despite differences in philosophical foundations. The implications of this study lie in providing a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between Islamic Law, human rights, and democracy from an Islamic perspective, highlighting both their potential compatibility and the challenges of implementation. Such understanding is crucial for intercultural dialogue and for developing appropriate governance models in Muslim-majority societies. The originality of this research lies in its systematic effort to bridge the discourse on Islamic Law, human rights, and democracy within a unified analytical framework, offering a comprehensive perspective that not only identifies areas of alignment but also critically addresses tensions and interpretative diversity within Islamic tradition.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the meaning of interreligious harmony within the contexts of Islam and Indonesian society. It employs a literature review method, analyzing relevant books and previous studies on interfaith relations. The findings reveal that interreligious harmony in Indonesia is rooted in values of tolerance, mutual respect, and shared humanity, which are also emphasized in Islamic teachings. Islam encourages peaceful coexistence with followers of other religions and highlights the importance of understanding and dialogue. The discussion underscores the role of Islam in promoting peace and social cohesion in a diverse society like Indonesia. Furthermore, the study indicates that strengthening interreligious harmony can reinforce national unity and social stability. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of Islam in supporting religious pluralism and interfaith dialogue in the Indonesian context.
