Abstract

Kasus perdagangan manusia di Jawa Barat, khususnya di Kabupaten Indramayu, dari tahun ke tahun, terus mengalami peningkatan yang cukup signifikan. Dari latar belakang itu, pertanyaannya kemudian adalah mengapa kenyataan tersebut tidak menyurutkan niat para calon urban labor. Penelitian ini mau mengungkap faktor-faktor apa saja yang mendorong menguatnya fenomena  urban labor tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan logika alur fikir fenomenologis-antropologis dengan mengaitkannya pada usaha mengungkap alasan maupun latar belakang seseorang, kelompok, ataupun organisasi dalam bersikap maupun bertindak. Sementara, untuk mendapatkan data, metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah indepth interview (wawancara mendalam) dengan pertanyaan terstruktur.Temuan sementara peneltian ini adalah; pertama, ada semacam perubahan orientasi menjadi urban labor dari orientasi pemenuhan kebutuhan ekonomi dasar menjadi pemenuhan kebutuhan-kebutuhan skunder. Kedua, faktor budaya patriarki, dalam konteks budaya Indonesia, nampak masih cukup kuat di mana menempatkan kaum laki-laki dan perempuan pada kedudukan dan peran yang tidak setara. Ketiga, rendahnya pendidikan merupakn faktor lain yang tidak kalah penting yang sering terlibat secara langsung terjadinya perdagangan manusia.

Abstract

Religious radicalism in Indonesia has emerged as an urgent issue in recent years, influenced by various political, social, economic, and religious factors. Although Indonesia is known for its diversity, the increase in radical activities is highly concerning. Key factors contributing to the spread of radicalism include political instability, social conflict, economic inequality, and religious extremism. The rapid dissemination of radical ideologies through social media and the internet further exacerbates the problem. Cirebon, a city in West Java, mirrors national trends with its own specific challenges. Political dissatisfaction, economic disparity, and radical religious teachings contribute to this issue. The Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) in Cirebon plays a crucial role in carrying out religious deradicalization through programs that promote moderation and religious tolerance. Kemenag's initiatives include interfaith dialogue, religious education reform, and close collaboration with law enforcement. These efforts aim to counter radical influences and foster a peaceful and diverse society. Despite the challenges, Kemenag's proactive measures and local-global collaboration are essential in mitigating the impacts of radicalism, ensuring security, and promoting social stability.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and analyze the concept of gender equality in hadith, with the goal of providing a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of how hadith regulates the relationship between men and women in various life contexts, whether in family, social, or professional domains. This study employs a qualitative method with a content analysis approach. The primary data sources are collections of hadith relevant to the topic of gender equality, gathered from various trusted hadith compilations. The analytical techniques used include interpretation of hadith texts, comparison with related Quranic verses, and review of classical and contemporary scholars' views on this issue. The results of the study indicate that hadith generally supports the principle of gender equality in many aspects, although there are some hadiths that require historical and sociocultural context to be comprehensively understood. These hadiths, if interpreted correctly and contextually, show that Islam provides equal rights and responsibilities between men and women and encourages respect and gender justice. However, the interpretation and implementation of gender equality in Muslim societies are often influenced by local cultural and traditional factors, which sometimes deviate from the true essence of Islamic teachings. This study highlights the importance of a critical and contextual approach in understanding hadith texts to support efforts in achieving gender equality that is just and in accordance with Islamic values.

Abstract

Marriage is seen as a social institution that legally binds two individuals, while divorce marks the legal and social end of that relationship. The complexity of marriage involves cultural, religious, and social factors, and family issues often lead to divorce. The aim of this study is to identify the causes and impacts of divorce. Using a case study approach and qualitative research methods, the study employs conflict theory as its theoretical framework. Conflict theory emphasizes how social, economic, and political factors influence marital dynamics, ultimately contributing to the likelihood of divorce. Marital conflicts can arise from an unequal division of household labor, differences in opinion, or infidelity, often triggered by emotional tension or unmet needs. External factors, such as financial difficulties, unemployment, or cultural differences, can further strain the relationship. Divorce is often seen as a response to perceived injustice within the marriage. If one partner feels exploited or if there is an imbalance of power, divorce may become a means of seeking justice. Conflict theory provides insights into how these social, economic, and political factors shape marital relationships, helping individuals understand the underlying causes of marital conflicts and the potential for divorce.

Abstract

The phenomenon of religious politicization, which entails the exploitation of religion for political gain, poses a serious threat to national unity by fostering divisions among religious communities and undermining democratic principles. This practice stands in stark contrast to the values of religious moderation, which emphasize justice, tolerance, and harmony. Through an exploration of Islamic moderation, this study highlights the concept of uswatun hasanah (a virtuous role model) as a strategic framework to mitigate the negative impacts of religious politicization. Employing a qualitative research approach focused on library research, the study conducts a thematic analysis of Qur'anic verses using descriptive-analytic methods. The findings reveal that religious politicization not only disrupts societal cohesion but also underscores the urgent need for religious moderation as a means to counteract the misuse of religion for political purposes. By advocating the emulation of positive role models, Islam provides a pathway to cultivate virtuous behavior and promote harmony. Furthermore, the concept of uswatun hasanah can be actualized both in society and the digital realm through the creation and dissemination of moderate content while actively filtering out hoaxes, misinformation, and divisive materials. These efforts highlight the pivotal role of uswatun hasanah in fostering interfaith harmony and protecting societal unity from the divisive effects of religious politicization.
