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

 The purpose of this article is to describe the vagueness of the concepts and the negative effects of the Blasphemy Law, which is operated in contemporary Indonesia with the law No. 1/PNPS/1965. Since its enactment in 1965, this law has been used by various intolerant groups to vilify, to discredit and to discriminate minority communities, including indigenous people, aliran kepercayaan groups (often used interchangeably with aliran kebatinan or Kejawen), and other non-conformist groups as deviant. According to the Blasphemy Law contents, opethese groups are not recognized as official religions because their religious doctrines are not allowed to be practiced and contradict those held by the majority. This article argues that the maintenance of the Blasphemy Law in Indonesia is not only detrimental to interfaith relations and harmony among the country’s diverse religious communities, but also contributes to the high number of violations of religious freedom and belief. Furthermore, a lot of researchers measure that the blasphemy law is one of two major problems in Indonesia — the other problems are related with religious conversion and proselytism. Its repeal is essential to promote religious tolerance and respect for individual beliefs. Certain doctrines are accepted on the basis of majority rather than merit, while those of minorities are often disregarded. Alternatively, this article will consider Resolution 16/18, also called “Combating Intolerance, Negative Stereotyping and Stigmatization of, and Discrimination, Incitement to Violence against Persons Based on Religion or Belief,” which was submitted by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries to the UN Human Rights Council in 2011 to address the problems caused by the controversial blasphemy law. Keywords: Blasphemy Law, Religious Freedom, and UN Resolution 16/18.

Abstract

Quran Translation by the Ministry of Religious Affairs entitled “Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahannya” which has been improved and refined for the third time shows the involvement of the state in providing Quran translation for Muslims. This article aims to show how politics and state policies in the translation of Quran in Indonesia as the power-knowledge, and how this power-knowledge is related to other power-knowledge. By analyzing all edition of “Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahannya” published by the Ministry of Religious Affairs as well as a set of interviews, this article concluded that Quran translation by the Ministry of Religious Affairs is an authoritative strategy of the state in accommodating Muslims interest to comprehend their holy Quran. At the same time, through this translation, the interest of the state in maintaining its stability of power is accommodated as well. The state power-knowledge in the form of Quran translation by the Ministry of Religious Affairs is not only focused on the state (The Ministry of Religious Affairs), but also related to other translation of Quran as the power-knowledge in the society.

Abstract

This paper discusses polygamy seminars with three critical perspectives: religious commodification, hegemonic masculinity, and libidinal economics. In terms of religious commodification, polygamy seminars as a religious activity held in many places in Indonesia with quite expensive costs are economically beneficial. Regarding Raewyn W. Connell’s masculinity theory, polygamy seminars can be read as activities closely related to masculinity and femininity. The libidinal economic perspective of Jean Francois Lyotard helps see the relationship between religious commodification, desire, and capital in polygamy seminars. This article is an analytical descriptive study with quite extensive empirical data.

Abstract

This article aims to explain the meaning of spirituality which is then linked to the plurality of religions, both of which intersect and are interconnected. The connection between the two becomes a way to understand that natural reality is created by the law of plurality, multi-variety. The consequence of this diversity, more specifically in religion, is that it gives rise to a real plurality of teachings, values, understandings and differences, which are not only different but also conflict with one another. Thus, each religious follower understands plurality as a path to God. It can be concluded that by using spirituality glasses to see plurality, the perspective on and for ' the others' does not clash one religion with another religion from any aspect. Religious competition no longer seeks to increase the 'quantity' of the number of adherents, but rather increases the 'quality' of output from each religious teaching.

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 attempts to trace the contiguity of the substance of the sharia revealed to Musa in the Quran by tracing the terminology of the Torah and Ṣuḥuf on exegetical sources. The article will track the intersection of the classical and contemporary exegetical sources that use the jurisprudence approach as a lens in interpreting the Quran. This research is qualitative in nature, and the method used is descriptive-analytical. As a result, at least based on exegetical literature, there is a specific intersection between the sharia brought by Musa and the sharia brought by Muhammad in the Quran. The intersection lies, for example, in legal aspects such as qiṣāṣ, diyāt and rajam. However, there are different views on addressing this contiguity. One view is that the contiguity does not mean anything because the previous sharia has been abolished by the revelation of the Quran. Another view states that the Quran is a conclusive-confirmative revelation and does not abolish previous sharia.

Abstract

This article aims to examine Al-Shawkani's interpretation in Al-Shawkani's hermeneutic theory in Tafsir Fathkhul Qadir eschatological verses as well as the implications of the theory and its application to various categorization models of interpretation studies. Using a qualitative literature methodology, it was found that Al-Shawkani's hermeneutics was applied to verses about the graves and the barzakh. This study produces conclusions. First, al-Shawkānī's hermeneutics is built on the principle of convergence between riwāyah and dirāyah. Viewed from the perspective of triadic structures in hermeneutics, "riwāyah" represents the authority of the author, while "dirāyah" represents the authority of the text. The convergence of riwāyah and dirāyah makes al-Shawkānī's interpretation rely on inclusive, egalitarian, and retrospective literalism. Second, al-Shawkānī applies hermeneutical principles consistently to his interpretation of the graves and the barzakh in the Qur'an. Meanwhile, in terms of the history of hermeneutics, what al-Shawkānī does is not far from the discussions that appear in classical hermeneutics, namely in the form of interpretation theory, philological methods, or linguistic understanding methods.
REGULATING RELIGIOUS HETERODOXIES IN CONTEMPORARY INDONESIA Ropi, Ismatu; Wahid, Din

Abstract

This article delves into a discussion about how the Indonesian government, specifically the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag RI), regulated the handling of problematic religious movements and groups in Indonesia in 2017. It also aims to investigate whether the 2013 fatwa issued by the Indonesia Council of Ulama (MUI), which consists of religious scholars and holds significant influence, played a pivotal role in shaping this regulatory framework. Both of these documents were issued in response to the actions of individuals and groups that were perceived to have crossed the line of acceptability or violated the core beliefs of mainstream religious groups in Indonesia. They both outline key principles aimed at preventing any activities, teachings, or movements that strayed beyond the boundaries of legitimate dissent and encroached upon the sacred aspects of religion. In essence, the primary theme running through both documents is the preservation of mainstream religious orthodoxy. This reflects the government's and the dominant religious group's efforts to control and closely monitor any groups that appear to deviate from mainstream beliefs. The government and the majority religious community are viewed as the protectors of orthodoxy, and they are unhesitant in restricting individuals or groups accused of being "problematic" or "deviant" from participating in the public sphere.

Abstract

This research departs from the empirical-epistemological fact that there are ideas about fear stored in memory that do not originate from any experience. This fact is based on data that researchers obtained through observations of people who are fear of heights and depths of water. From these empirical facts, two basic assumptions result, firstly, the idea of fear comes from impulses in the mind itself before experiencing it. Second, the idea of fear comes from sensations or impressions after experiencing it. From the differences between these two basic assumptions, there has also become an academic debate around epistemologies that separates Cartesian rationalism and Humean empiricism. For the Cartesian group, ideas originate from consciousness (cogito) as part of the activity and impulse of the mind so that the truth is clear and distinct. This means that the ideas in the mind itself are clear and distinct. Meanwhile, for the Humean group, ideas originate from copies of certain impressions as part of experience activities so that they are clearer and more alive. This means that ideas in the mind themselves are vague because they are copies of impressions. From the academic debate between the two major groups in the philosophy of knowledge, which helps researchers to clarify the idea of fear stored in memory.
