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 article aims to describe the religious views of Indonesian Muslim groups concerning Covid-19 and health protocols. It also explores the factors that lead some Muslims to reject health protocols in their religious practices. The qualitative method was employed in this study, with research subjects selected through purposive sampling, and data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The informants included leaders of Indonesian Muslim groups, such as Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulama, and other Muslim group leaders. The research findings indicate that most Muslim group leaders interpret Islamic teachings with academic perspectives, although many tend to adopt conservative interpretations. This conservative religious understanding is influenced by several factors: first, the psychological factor of panic or cultural shock among some Muslims; second, the influx of information on social media whose accuracy is challenging to verify; third, economic pressure on the people; and fourth, the government’s indecisiveness and the ineffectiveness of public communication.

Abstract

This paper discusses woman’s authority in social media, presenting how female scholars appear in social media and convey messages of Islamic teachings. This qualitative study finds that the concept of Maqāṣid sharīʿah was used by them in outlining their da’wah messages. The implication of using this approach leads them to explain religious messages textually and contextually. In practice, they take advantage of the opinions of previous Muslim scholars to support the messages they spread. The presence of women ulama who interact actively through online platforms provides opportunities for Muslim women to choose different information about Islamic teaching in a proportional and personal.

Abstract

The verses of the Qur'an interpreted by the commentators, both classical and modern, continue to experience changes and developments. This is done to achieve the goal of the Qur'an which is ṣho>liḥ li kulli zama>n wa makan. It is not surprising that the methods of interpreting the Qur'an are very diverse in order to increase the intensity of academic research to obtain variations in the meaning of the Qur'an in an integrative manner. This study focuses on the meaning of Jihad as stated in QS. Al-Ankabut: 69. This study discusses the interpretation of two figures, Hermenutika Sahiron Syamsuddin and Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd. The questions that will be examined by this paper are how do the two figures think in interpreting the verses of jihad and how is the analysis of the interpretation of the verses of jihad by the two figures? To answer these questions, the author uses a qualitative research type, while the nature of this research is descriptive-analytical. The method used to process and analyze the data in this study is a combination of deductive-inductive-comparative. The results of this study reveal that both figures deny the existence of a textual interpretation of the jihad verse which is only interpreted in the context of war. According to Syamsuddin, the meaning of jihad in Surah al-Ankabu>t/29: 69 can be seen in three stages: first, jihad against one's own lusts to achieve the path of obedience to Allah. Second, jihad against those closest to us. Third, jihad against the government, state, and homeland. Meanwhile, Zayd through his hermeneutics (tafsir al-siya>qi) explains that the meaning of jihad in Surah al-Ankabu>t/29: 69 is to free the country from all its problems.

Abstract

Idrisiyyah's spiritual entrepreneurship was born from the neo-Sufism paradigm which produced a business ethos with the motivation of worship, professional service to the murshid, a symphony of inner and outer life and a modern and professional business management culture for the Islamic boarding school's economic independence. Apart from that, Idrisiyyah's entrepreneurial spirituality also gave birth to Idrisiyyah's distinctive corporate culture and corporate values which caused Idrisiyyah business people to feel inner satisfaction, priceless. Cannot be compensated with money, objects or any kind of materials. This causes Idrisiyyah's spiritual entrepreneurship to become an oasis in the midst of a business ethics crisis; but it is difficult to put into practice in society, because Idrisiyyah's spiritual entrepreneurship is tied to the Tarîqah system. The key to success lies in applying the concepts of lillah, fillah and billah, for Allah, in Allah's rules and by Allah, in all lines of business in the epicenter of murshid leadership and example.

Abstract

As long as humans always try to understand the deepest meaning of a text, symbol, or event, hermeneutics is a common activity. However, the gap between the creation of texts, symbols or events has created its own problems that must be solved. The problem is, should an attempt at interpretation of a text, symbol or event achieve its objective status in the sense intended by the author or writer, or not? Hermeneutic thinkers differ in solving this problem. Unlike Friedrich Schleiermacher and Wilhelm Dilthey who emphasized the importance of revealing the author’s original intent, Hans-Georg Gadamer emphasized the importance of the subjective dimension of the interpreter. In Gadamer’s thought, prejudice and cultural influences in interpreting a text, symbol or phenomenon are also considered as one of the horizons. Dialectic and horizon fusion in itself will be an internal mechanism to reduce the dominance of prejudice or subjectivity that cannot be accounted for. By paying close attention to Jurgen Habermas’s note that hermeneutics overemphasize the aspects of prejudice and cultural influences will only provide opportunities for certain communication distortions and cultural hegemony, Gadamer’s contribution can still be maintained as a human hermeneutical activity.

Abstract

This paper strengthens the research of Shittu and Adebolu (2016) confirming that Arabic language science: semantics, naḥw-ṣarf, and balāghah has an important role in understanding ḥadīth. In addition, this research also strengthens Asmaʿ al-Khatab and Ali Younis affirming that the Arabic style of ḥadīth in terms of balāghah can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the historical facts of ḥadīth and the substance of ḥadīth teachings. In particular, this research concludes that Muhajirin Amsar (d. 2003) as one of the Indonesian ḥadīth experts has a deep concern about understanding ḥadīth with a language approach. This is proven by the study of semantics, naḥw-ṣarf, and balāghah in the Miṣbāḥ al-Ẓalām as a work that explains the legal ḥadīth of Islamic law.

Abstract

People everywhere always live in diversity. Sometimes, people express their values in ways incompatible with the principle of reciprocity or reasonableness. In John Rawls's view, they are categorized as unreasonable because their expression does not align with public reason. In this article, we need to ask, are they really unreasonable and a threat to democracy? Here, we state that public reason is essential to democracy. However, we also need to build a fairer public life and broader public reasoning that engages people from wider background cultures. Thus, Rawls’ understanding of unreasonableness is challenging. We cannot exclude people who have not applied public reason from public life. We neither categorize them as unreasonable because they do not necessarily attack public reason. We can identify them as “in-between” reasonable and unreasonable people, and they are not really a threat to democracy. We need to engage and endorse them to explore a just public life. In order to build a fairer public life, we need to engage people widely and make public reasoning a place for learning the meaning of justice.

Abstract

The study employs a dual approach, combining psychological analysis with Sufi teachings to comprehend the multifaceted nature of death. Methodologically, it synthesizes insights from psychological theories on emotional detachment and the human perception of mortality. This is juxtaposed with the Sufi perspective, derived from extensive literature, teachings, and interpretations of Sufi scholars and texts. The psychological aspect delves into the notion of psychological death, exploring how individuals, while physically alive, can experience emotional numbness, disconnect, and insensitivity to their surroundings. This exploration incorporates established psychological frameworks and case studies that illustrate these states. Simultaneously, the Sufistic approach interprets death as an inevitable certainty, emphasizing the spiritual separation between the body and the eternal soul. This perspective draws upon Sufi texts, traditions, and philosophies that emphasize the eternal nature of the soul and the transformative aspect of death. The study synthesizes these perspectives, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of death. It examines how the psychological and Sufi viewpoints converge and diverge, shedding light on the multifaceted meanings and implications of death within the human experience. Through this methodological fusion, the study endeavors to offer a nuanced perspective on death that encompasses both psychological and spiritual dimensions.
