Abstract

This study examines the development and role of falak (Islamic astronomy) manuscripts in Southeast Asia within the context of Islamic historiography and the transmission of knowledge from the Middle East. Scholars from the archipelago studied falak in the Middle East before developing it in their homeland, producing repetitive works to facilitate public understanding. However, limited documentation and a lack of in-depth research hinder a comprehensive understanding of the scholars’ roles in the history of falak. This study explored alternative sources, such as local manuscripts, travel notes, and oral traditions, using a multidisciplinary approach that includes philology, history, and the sociology of knowledge. The method used in this research is the philological method, a scholarly approach used to analyze, assess, and interpret ancient or historical texts, particularly in the context of manuscript studies. One of the research locations is the PEDIR Museum (Banda Aceh), the Manuscript Collection of Tarmidzi Abdul Hamid (Banda Aceh), and the Falak Center of Syaikh Tahir in Penang, Malaysia. The results show that falak science in Southeast Asia developed through networks of scholars connected to the Haramain and Egypt. The dissemination of falak manuscripts occurred through trade, missionary activity, and intellectual exchange, while adaptation to local culture preserved its relevance. The influence of the falak manuscripts in Southeast Asia includes strengthening religious authority, establishing local hisab-rukyat traditions, and playing a strategic role in harmonizing the Islamic calendar. This research confirms that the falak manuscripts are an intellectual heritage that reflects the synergy between science and the religious needs of Southeast Asian Muslim communities, while also serving as an important source for the study of the history of Islamic science in the region.

Abstract

In Islamic law, there are two views on marital rape: one rejects it because marriage is considered a lifelong consent to sexual relations. At the same time, the other recognizes the possibility of marital rape within a marriage. Unlike UU-PKDRT, marital rape receives strict penalties. This study aims to identify and analyze the legal sanctions for marital rape in UU-PKDRT and Islamic criminal law, compare the sanctions of both laws, and explain the concept of takzir for marital rape. The research method is juridical-normative, using qualitative data and three frameworks: credo theory, legal change, and takzir. The study results show that UU-PKDRT, which includes marital rape, does not contradict Islamic law and therefore should be obeyed by Ulil Amri. The legal sanctions are relevant and in accordance with takzir; sexual relations are a mutual right of husband and wife, and forced sexual relations in marriage are not considered rape but violence that can be sanctioned by takzir; marital rape is not considered rape in Islam because marriage negates fornication; Marital rape in UU-PKDRT is viewed as rape, but in Islamic law, it is only violence that can be sanctioned by takzir after reconciliation efforts. The new theory from this research states that marital rape is violence, not rape.

Abstract

This research presents a novel and holistic approach to addressing child marriage by explicitly integrating the Maqasid Al-Shariah framework—comprising the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property—as its primary analytical lens. Unlike previous studies that often treat the social, health, legal, or religious aspects of child marriage in isolation, this study unifies these dimensions within an Islamic ethical paradigm. This study employs a qualitative literature review method, systematically collecting, evaluating, and synthesizing secondary data from Islamic jurisprudence, legal frameworks, and child welfare reports to analyze child protection and adolescent well-being through the lens of Maqasid Al-Shariah. The findings of this research reveal that integrating the Maqasid Al-Shariah framework into strategies for addressing child marriage significantly enhances both the religious legitimacy and community acceptance of child protection efforts. Child marriage is a complex issue that fundamentally contradicts the five core objectives of Maqasid Al-Shariah—protection of life, intellect, lineage, property, and religion—making its elimination a religious as well as social imperative. This research highlights that child marriage endangers children's physical and mental health, disrupts education, and undermines family and community wellbeing. Addressing the issue requires more than legal reforms; it demands collaboration among policymakers, religious scholars, and community leaders to correct misinterpretations of Islamic teachings and shift cultural norms

Abstract

This research is a field study using an ethnographic approach that examines halal cultural practices from the perspective of Islamic eco-theology within Madurese society. The research focuses on two communities: Karang Penang Sampang Village and Lenteng Village in Sumenep Regency, Madura, which maintain traditional religious practices and resource management based on Sharia values and local wisdom. Data were collected through participatory observation, field documentation, and in-depth interviews with key informants, including religious leaders, traditional elders, women involved in cultural activities, local farmers, and young people active in the preservation of traditions. Research findings indicate that halal culture is understood not only as adherence to fiqh norms, but also as a form of ecological ethics that governs the relationship between humans and nature. For example, in the tradition “Mèngghulè,” in the lead-up to the Prophet’s Birthday or Ramadan, communities engage in communal cooking rituals, using pesticide-free local ingredients, slaughtering animals in accordance with Islamic law, and serving food on natural containers such as banana leaves. Meanwhile, within the settlement system “Tanean Lanjhang”, a pattern of collective life was discovered that reflects ecological and spiritual harmony through the management of water, land, and food based on family values. Values such as barokah (blessing), sakkena (peace), and the principle of al-halal bi thayyib serve as guidelines for the community’s social and ecological practices. This study shows that the halal culture in Madura is a manifestation of Islamic eco-theology that is contextual, sustainable, and rooted in local culture.

Abstract

This paper presents a case study of the management of Gosari Amusement Park (WAGOS) in Indonesia, focusing on the application of sustainable tourism development and the integration of the Maslahah Mursalah concept in the management of local tourist attractions. The development of WAGOS aims to transform Gosaari from an agricultural village into a tourism village and to stimulate the local economy and its surroundings. With its abundant natural resources, including limestone hills, cultural heritage sites, and fertile agricultural areas, the village possesses great potential to attract tourists. This research highlights the successful implementation of Maslahah Mursalah in developing the WAGOS Amusing Park for the community’s benefit. It highlights the importance of balancing benefits and potential harms in tourism development. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach and economic ethnography, this study examines the aspects of Maslahah Mursalah in the management of WAGOS. Following the fiqh rule of “Dar’ul Mafasid Muqaddam ‘Ala Jalbi Masholih,” which prioritizes preventing harm over acquiring benefits, the paper argues that utilizing the ancient springs and limestone hills for tourism purposes brings greater advantages compared to the potential damages that occur. The management of WAGOS demonstrates fulfillment of the five elements of Maslahah Mursalah: Hifdzu Din (preserves the ideology and culture), Hifdzu Nafs (maintenance the spirit), hifdzu Aql (Upgrade human capacity), hifdzu Nasab (Keeping the humankind sustainability), and Hifdzu Maal (Preserving wealth and financial resources).

Abstract

Saudi Arabia has long been one of the primary destinations for Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI), most of whom are women employed in domestic work. Despite their significant contribution to Indonesia’s economy through remittances, they continue to face systemic legal, socio-cultural, and economic vulnerabilities. This study examines these multidimensional challenges using a qualitative case study approach based on methodological triangulation of field interviews with migrant workers, consular officials, and community leaders, complemented by government documents, bilateral agreements, international reports, and relevant scholarly literature. Unlike previous studies that examine legal, labor, or human rights issues separately, this study employs the migration ecosystem vulnerability framework to explain how legal, institutional, economic, and socio-cultural factors interact throughout the migration cycle. The findings show that migrant vulnerability arises from interconnected governance failures in recruitment, labor regulation, diplomatic protection, and community support. Structural dependency under the kafala system, gendered informal migration pathways, and deficits in human security collectively reinforce migrants’ precarious conditions. The study proposes a multi-level governance approach that integrates strengthened bilateral cooperation, recruitment reform through the One Channel Placement System (SPSK), diaspora-based community empowerment, and sustainable reintegration programs. By linking these complementary policy measures, the study contributes to migration scholarship while offering an integrated framework to strengthen migrant protection and promote more preventive, inclusive, and dignified migration governance.

Abstract

The growth of cultural tourism has intensified debates on authenticity, sustainability, and the ethical integration of indigenous practices into tourism development. In East Lombok, the Bejeleng traditionl”a sacred Sasak ritual associated with the production of traditional coconut oil (minyak Jeleng) embodies these tensions because it is governed by strict spiritual regulations, collective participation, and ritual purity. This study examines how Bejeleng can be strategically integrated into Lombok's cultural tourism development without compromising its spiritual integrity. Grounded in Greg Richards cultural tourism framework, the study employs a qualitative phenomenological approach to understand indigenous spirituality as a collective social experience. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with religious leaders and ritual participants, and documentary analysis, and were analyzed through a two-stage thematic procedure combining inductive, participant-driven open coding with theoretically informed deductive interpretation based on Richards cultural tourism framework. The findings show that integrating Bejeleng into cultural tourism must be selective, value-based, and community-led. Indigenous spirituality functions as a non-negotiable boundary against ritual commodification, while community leadership regulates external engagement. Tourist involvement is limited to non-ritual domains, including observation and the use of ritual-derived products, whereas economic benefits remain controlled secondary outcomes that do not alter ritual practices. This study contributes to cultural tourism scholarship by extending Richards framework to sacred ritual production processes and demonstrating that meaningful cultural experiences can be constructed through symbolic proximity rather than direct participation.

Abstract

Habaib have significantly contributed to religious life in Southeast Asia. Not only for the Muslim community, but also for people across the region with various religious and ethnic backgrounds, the contribution of the Habaib has impacted interactions. In Indonesia, Habaib have recorded their remarkable contribution to the history of the establishment of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). This has, in fact, shown that the contribution of the Habaib has become one of the most significant aspects of religious life in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia. The people of Pontianak City have an urgent need to address the role of Habaib in the city's religious and social life, since it was founded by Sultan Syarif Abdurrahman, one of the influential Habaib in Borneo. This paper urges exploring the contributions of Habaib from time to time so that they become an integral part of the development of modern Pontianak City society today. The findings of this work indicate that the challenges and opportunities faced by the Habaib have become an important part of the dynamics of religious authority in Pontianak City. In addition, the position of the Habaib in the history of the sultanate and the people who experienced the ups and downs of their interaction prove to be a barometer of their role in society. Moreover, it turns out that the collective memory and characterization of Habaib have become an important part of the religious practices of the people in Pontianak City. Finally, this work emphasizes that the Habaib have played a significant role in the dynamics of religious life and have even promoted social cohesion in the multi-religious and ethnic Pontianak society.

Abstract

This article examines the leadership of Nyai Hj. Masriyah Amva at Pesantren Kebon Jambu Al-Islamy as a negotiated reconstruction of religious authority within the patriarchal structure of traditional Nahdlatul Ulama pesantren. Drawing on Raewyn Connell’s gender regime theory, the study conceptualizes pesantren not as rigid institutions but as social spaces in which gendered authority is continuously produced and contested. Based on a qualitative case study involving in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, this article shows that sufi spirituality, religious poetry, and symbolic practices function as key sources of legitimacy that enable Nyai Masriyah to exercise leadership without directly confronting established institutional norms. Her spiritual experience and ethical authority gradually reconfigure male-dominated leadership arrange-ments by opening space for women’s participation within accepted religious frameworks. This study contributes to gender and Islamic studies by demonstrating how spiritual authority operates as a context-specific resource for institutional transformation, positioning pesantren as sites of negotiated gender change within traditional Muslim communities.

Abstract

The global energy transition has increased demand for critical minerals used in electric vehicle batteries, positioning nickel as a strategic resource. In Indonesia, this demand is linked to a state-led downstreaming agenda centered on the Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP), a major hub for nickel processing. This article examines how sustainability narratives are used to drive extractive expansion in IMIP. It adopts a qualitative single-case study design and uses a desk review of policy documents, corporate reports, gray literature, media sources, and academic studies from 2013 to 2025. The analysis is guided by Dunlap’s framework of green extractivism. The findings show that IMIP reflects four interrelated features of green extractivism. Climate crisis and energy transition narratives are used to justify rapid industrial expansion. Extractive activities are legitimized through sustainability claims such as green development, ESG, and decarbonization. Downstreaming remains dependent on conventional extractivism, including upstream mining, land conversion, and coal-based energy systems. Sustainability is framed as a manageable technical issue, while socioecological impacts continue to accumulate, including environmental degradation, health risks, and livelihood disruption. This article contributes by extending the analysis of green extractivism beyond Latin America and by showing how it operates through a state-led downstreaming and industrial park model. It demonstrates that sustainability narratives can function as a justification for extractive expansion, raising concern about the conditions under which green industrialization can be aligned with meaningful environmental and social outcomes.
