Abstract

This article is the result of a study that discusses the map of the study of Quran, which is represented by dissertations written by the Postgraduate programs of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta and UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta for the period of 2005-2012. This article shows the disproportionate phenomenon between the number of dissertations written in the study of Quran and the quality of the results. It is proven from the slow development of the study of Quran. Qualitatively, there has been no significant development, both in the title and content of the dissertation. It is found that many titles and objects of study are similar between one UIN (State Islamic University) and another UIN or IAIN (State Islamic College). The majority of dissertations still discuss Islamic and humanitarian issues in general, but do not relate them to Indonesian problems. This article uses discourse content analysis.

Abstract

Indonesia is neither a religious state nor a secular state though the majority of its population is Moslem. The relations between Islam and the state have once experienced strong tensions until it finally reached a consensus. However, this consensus had historically experienced distortions and complexities among Moslems themselves and between the Moslems and the government (state), during the New Order Era and the Reform Era. This article tries to describe the development of the idea of religious moderation in the New Order and the Reform Era and explore the views of the Moslem elites in relation to religious moderation policies and their implementation during the era of President Soeharto and in the era of open democracy after the fall of the authoritarian New Order regime. This research relies on an in-depth analysis of academic references and literature. The study shows that there are differences in the aspects of thinking and configuration of Moslem actors in relation to the policy and implementation of religious moderation in the two eras. The research showed that the efforts of the majority of religious people in Indonesia in campaigning for religious moderation intellectually, culturally, and politically by any means, models, modifications and different actors according to the context, challenges, and the spirit of the times had never been faded away so it can not be extinguished.

Abstract

Muḥammad Shahrur is a Muslim thinker who has many controversial works. This article describes Shahrur’s thoughts about Kan‘ān during the flash flood tragedy at the time of Prophet Nūḥ. He made a study using intertextual theory. He thought that Kanān’s drowning during the flood was because he was not the biological child of the Prophet Nūḥ, but the son of his wife’s adultery with another man without Prophet Nūḥ’s awareness. This article found Shahrur’s misinterpretation of the personality of Kan‘ān because in interpreting the verses of the Quran about the story of the family of Prophet Nūḥ, he prioritizes the intertextual’s approach with modern sciences, such as semiotics and hermeneutics, and ignores credible interpretation methods such as those are used by the scholars of interpretation, both classic and modern. Besides that, this article is a literature study that compares Shahrur’s interpretation with classical and modern scholars of interpretation.

Abstract

This study aims to explain further the cosmological argument of Hamzah Fansuri. This research is library research using a historical approach to obtain data and conduct content analysis. According to Hamzah Fansuri, every single thing in this world that either can or cannot be seen can be pictured as a circle or curvature, the two corners of which can meet each other. Half of the curvature is “the down way curvature” (tanazzul) that is the way of the creation of the universe and its content; the manifestation process from the Oneness or the Higher Existence (Who cannot be known physically) to become many existence or the reality that can be seen physically. The other curvature is “the up-way curvature” (taraqqī), which is a way of creation from physical to metaphysical existence. The entire levels or structure of being are summarized in the person and the human being’s existence as a perfect creature of physical and spiritual quality. Therefore, the universe can only be returned to the One through humans. The concept of cosmology in the Fansuri’s thought is to show the unity and interrelationship of all existence that leads to divine oneness.

Abstract

This article discusses the discourse of Sufism in the 18th century in Java as narrated by Serat Cabolek by Kiai Yasadipura I (1729-1803). This manuscript tells about the trial of Kiai Ahmad Mutamakin in front of the authorities of the Mataram Kingdom in Kartasura. This cleric from the village of Cabolek, Tuban, in the northern coast of Java was controversial and accused of spreading Ilmu Hak, namely wujudiyah Sufism, to commoners, even though his knowledge capacity was considered inadequate by the religious scholars (ulama) who opposed him. In that trial Kiai Mutamakin was found guilty, but later was granted pardon by King Pakubuwana II (1726-1749). The author of Serat Cabolek not only recorded the chronological details of Kiai Mutamakin's trial, more than that he also emphasized his stance on how the Javanese should direct their religious orientation. Yasadipura I, as a court poet with educational background of pesantren (Islamic boarding school), figured Ketib Anom as an ideal Javanese Muslim. This religious head officer from Kudus is a figure that perfectly described not just having in-depth knowledge of traditional Javanese mysticism, namely the mystical story of Dewaruci, but also mastering and carrying out the provisions of the Shari'a in Islam.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the meaning of Nāṣiyah in Tafsir Salman from a neo-scientific perspective. The development of neuroscience and Islamic education in this modern era is in line with the emergence of new findings, namely research about the meaning (Nāṣiyah) in the Quran which some commentators define as “the crown” or, in a neuroscience perspective ‘behind the crown’, namely the prefrontal cortex. Data of this research are sourced from literature studies through manual and digital searches, focusing on the Nāṣiyah interpretation paradigm in Surah al-ʿAlaq verses 15-16. Results of the study show that the meaning of Nāṣiyah is identical to the meaning (forehead). In Salman’s interpretation, what is meant by the crown is the brain, especially the prefrontal cortex. Therefore, Nāṣiyah is a neurobiological trace of the brain in the Quran. The discovery of the concept of Nāṣiyah as the neurobiological basis of the brain in the Quran will have broad implications for the development of the potential of ʿaql (reason) in Islamic education. The essence of Islamic education, of which is the development of the potential of reason as a manifestation of brain function (Nāṣiyah) in the Quran.

Abstract

This paper attempts to examine how fundamental-radical epistemology forms after the return of the power of Taliban in Afghanistan. To arrive at this topic, the author would firstly review the terminology and historical roots of fundamentalism-radicalism, and the factors that caused its emergence and its characteristics. The author uses a historical-phenomenological approach in doing the literature research to write this article. In analyzing obtained data, the author is using descriptive-analytical, historical, and holistic techniques. The results found are: first, the emergence of the understanding of fundamental-radical, which was initially only a political phenomenon, turned out to lead to systemic violence, actual violence, action, and symbolic violence. These are still threatening humanity because of the characteristics of their movements that are unwilling to communicate and attempt dialogue with relevant groups. Second, the factors behind the rise of radicalism are two, namely: socio-political factors and religious-related emotional factors. Third, the epistemology of fundamental-radicals lays only on literal and textual understanding. According to them, the truth lies in the understood sacred text, as it is.

Abstract

This article elucidates contradictory religious arguments. Religion substantively carries messages of salvation and guidance of truth from God. But when it is practiced by humans, substantive religious messages were reduced and replaced with contradictory religious expressions that eradicated the substantive messages of religion itself. Conflict and violence in the name of religion is a real phenomenon that the substantive religious teachings lost its essential message of religion. An important question to be answered in this article is how does the process of religious reduction occur if it is reviewed from the character of theological interpretation produced by theologians? A literature study of this article about the tension, conflict, and violence in the name of religion shows that the reduction of the face of religion is due to the product of sectarian, fanatical, and untolerant. These findings strengthen previous studies about the influence of theological patterns towards religious attitudes of their adherents.

Abstract

This paper highlights how the concept of solar circulation according to Nicolaus Copernicus in On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres Book and Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī in Tafsīr Mafātīḥ al-Ghayb about the concept of solar circulation, and how are the similarities and differences about according to both of them. The study shows that Nicolaus Copernicus and Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī agree that the sun is the center of the solar system, but they differ on three things, for example, Copernicus believes that the sun only stays in its orbit, while Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī convinced that the sun goes around the earth, and so on. This study is library research with the descriptive-analytical method and comparative approach.
