Abstract

The digitalization of religious authority faces a moral and epistemic crisis driven by social media's algorithmic logic, which favors performative popularity over institutional knowledge. This research aims to formulate "Humble Exclusivism" as an Islamic ethical framework to address this tension. The study employs a qualitative-descriptive method with a library research approach, integrated within the Digital Islamic Studies framework. The findings demonstrate that humble exclusivism functions as an ethical paradigm emphasizing epistemic humility and moral accountability, thereby shifting legitimacy from algorithmic visibility back to the moral domain. The study concludes that this framework provides a viable model for contemporary authority, implying the need for digital da’wah to prioritize ethical responsibility over engagement metrics.

Abstract

Tebus Weteng is a cultural tradition of the local community in Desa Mertapada Wetan that continues to be practiced today and has undergone a process of integration with Islamic teachings. This study aims to explore how the integration process between Islam and local culture shapes the Tebus Weteng tradition. The research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach, while data collection techniques include interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings show that Islamic values are integrated into the Tebus Weteng tradition through the recitation of Al-Qur'an verses, the recitation of the Maulid Nabi, communal prayers, and charitable practices in the form of food distribution, all of which reflect the implementation of Islamic teachings. The study's findings suggest that the Tebus Weteng tradition represents a harmonious blending of Islam and local culture, which not only strengthens the religious values of the community but also enhances social solidarity and the preservation of local culture.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the urgency of preserving Sundanese Quranic exegesis amidst the social changes brought about by digitalization, globalization, and modernization. For years, Sundanese exegesis has played a central role in imparting religious teachings to the people of West Java. This central role is inseparable from the contributions of the mufassir (exegete) who compiled it. Most Sundanese exegeses were written by kyai and ajengan from pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), who hold a distinguished position within the community. Kyai and ajengan are recognized for their ability to influence the character, behavior, and worldview of their society. However, the significant role of Sundanese exegesis has gradually diminished due to social changes, which alter paradigms, perspectives, and even religious practices. This study employs a literature review method with descriptive analysis to explore the urgency of Sundanese exegesis in light of these ongoing social changes. The findings of this study demonstrate that Sundanese exegesis plays a crucial role in preserving local culture through the use of Sundanese linguistic registers, proverbs, and expressions of Sundanese natural imagery, which are not found in other exegeses.

Abstract

In recent decades, Muslim societies have faced various socio-religious challenges, including the rise of religious conservatism, the polarization of religious interpretations, and the decline of intellectual traditions in religious practice. Tarekat-based Islamic boarding schools offer a distinctive integration of Islamic scholarly education and spiritual cultivation that has the potential to shape a moderate religious character and contribute to social transformation within society. This study aims to analyze how the educational system at the Roudhoh Al-Hikam Tarekat Islamic Boarding School contributes to the development of Islamic intellectual traditions and promotes religious moderation that supports social transformation in local Muslim communities. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted at the Roudhoh Al-Hikam Tarekat Islamic Boarding School in Bogor. Data were collected through participatory observation and in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed thematically using the theoretical framework of Terror Management Theory (TMT). The findings indicate that the educational system of the Islamic boarding school, which integrates the study of classical Islamic texts, spiritual training within the tarekat tradition, and a culture of intellectual discussion, plays a significant role in cultivating a strong Islamic intellectual tradition among students. Tarekat-based education not only enhances religious understanding but also fosters a reflective intellectual orientation, strong social ethics, and deep spiritual awareness. This study concludes that tarekat-based Islamic boarding schools play a significant role as agents of education and social transformation in Muslim societies. The integration of Islamic intellectual traditions with Sufi spiritual practices enables the development of a model of religious education that produces not only knowledgeable individuals but also individuals who embody a moderate religious outlook.

Abstract

This article examines the relationship between Islamic teachings and local traditions as practiced at Pondok Buntet Pesantren, one of the oldest Islamic educational institutions in Cirebon, West Java. The study aims to explore how this pesantren integrates Islamic values with local wisdom that has long been embedded in the cultural life of the Cirebonese community. A qualitative approach is employed, utilizing observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis as the primary methods of data collection. The findings indicate that Pondok Buntet Pesantren implements a strategy of cultural acculturation by accommodating local traditions such as customary rituals and traditional arts within Islamic teachings without compromising the fundamental principles of Islamic law. This approach not only strengthens the Islamic identity of the community but also preserves local traditions as an integral part of the nation’s cultural heritage. The article underscores the importance of an inclusive approach to Islamic da‘wah in fostering harmony between religion and local culture, particularly in regions with a long history of cultural pluralism such as Cirebon.

Abstract

Indonesia is widely recognized as a country with a high level of diversity, encompassing ethnic, cultural, and religious dimensions. This diversity constitutes a national asset; however, it also presents challenges in maintaining social harmony and cohesion. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of social interaction among religious communities in Sukabumi City, particularly in the process of transitioning from passive harmony to active harmony. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected over a six-month period through observation, in-depth interviews with eight informants, including religious leaders (KA, AS, HT), a local community member (R), a local government official (AT), a representative of the Indonesian Ulema Council (NS), and a representative of the Religious Harmony Forum (MR), as well as document analysis. The findings indicate that interreligious interactions in Sukabumi City have undergone a significant shift from passive harmony, characterized by the absence of conflict to active harmony, marked by interfaith cooperation and intensive dialogue. The role of the Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) has been a key factor in promoting and sustaining social harmony. Theoretically, this study contributes to enriching the body of knowledge on active harmony within the context of pluralistic societies. Practically, it provides insights into patterns of cooperation that may serve as a model for other regions in fostering active harmony. Furthermore, the findings offer a foundation for local governments to formulate policies that mainstream diversity as a valuable asset.

Abstract

This article describes religious moderation as the concept of civil religion from Rousseau's perspective. As a philosopher, Rousseau developed a concept known as civil religion. This is highly intriguing when linked to the religious moderation program currently promoted by the Indonesian government. The research method employed in this article is qualitative, utilizing various research approaches, one of which is a literature study that refer to the epistemological paradigm based on the civil religion thought proposed by J.J. Rousseau. Data were collected from journals and other sources related to civil religion and religious moderation to comprehend the goals of civil religion. The data were then examined using interpretative analysis. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that, first, J.J. Rousseau's concept of civil religion is a social framework that emphasizes loyalty to both the state and religion. Consequently, this fosters individuals who are concerned about both their faith and their country, ultimately awakening a spirit of religious nationalism. Second, the religious moderation program aligns with J.J. Rousseau's concept of civil religion when viewed through the four pillars of religious moderation. Therefore, it is concluded that J.J. Rousseau's concept of civil religion contributes to the development of the religious moderation concept applied in Indonesia within the framework of Pancasila.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of coffee consumption practices in Pontianak City through Jean Baudrillard’s consumer society perspective. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving coffee shop owners and consumers. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that coffee consumption has shifted beyond fulfilling practical needs and increasingly functions as a symbolic consumption practice. Social media plays a significant role not only as a source of information but also as a medium that constructs representations and meanings associated with coffee shops. Through promotional content, labels, and visual narratives, social media shapes perceptions regarding lifestyle, productivity, and social identity. These meanings are reinforced through coffee shop concepts such as Working from Cafés (WFC), menu innovation, pricing strategies, and spatial arrangements that create symbolic values beyond the practical function of coffee consumption. As a result, coffee shops are no longer consumed merely as places for purchasing beverages but also as social spaces where individuals consume experiences, identities, and symbolic meanings. This study argues that coffee consumption in Pontianak reflects characteristics of consumer society, where consumption increasingly revolves around signs and symbolic values.
