Journal of Religion and Social Transformation (E-ISSN: 3026-4693) is a high quality open-access peer-reviewed journal, and rated based on international publication standards published by the Department of Sociology of Religion, UIN Siber Syekh Nurjati Cirebon. We publish original articles focusing on theoretical and empirical issues of religion in society and contribute to an interdisciplinary approach facilitating communication over boundaries of disciplines. Whereas the journal aims to develop the scientific discussion about socio-religious issues in Indonesia, we are open for case studies or contributions of comparative character from other world regions addressing recent global phenomena of religion in society (e.g. pluralization, secularization, individualization, new religious movements). The topics of the articles may include but are not limited to Religion and Multicultural Society, Religion and Digital Society, Religion and Gender, Religion and Development, Religion and Environment, Religion and Local Knowledge.

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.
