Abstract

This article examines how Abdurrahman Wahid’s (Gus Dur) ethical vision of religious pluralism is translated from a normative framework into lived social praxis within contemporary interfaith contexts. While existing studies have largely focused on Gus Dur’s intellectual, theological, and political contributions, the practical enactment of his pluralist ideas at the grassroots level remains underexplored. Addressing this gap, the study employs a qualitative ethnographic approach to investigate how core principles of equality (musāwah), justice (ʿadl), and freedom of belief (ḥurriyyah al-iʿtiqād) are embodied in everyday interfaith engagements. Fieldwork was conducted within interfaith communities that consciously draw on Gus Dur’s legacy, with the Forum for Religious Harmony (FKUB) in Jakarta serving as an empirical lens. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal a significant transformation of pluralism from abstract discourse into a lived civic ethic, manifested in interfaith rituals, conflict mediation, inclusive education, and digital activism. These practices are sustained through dialogical, collaborative, and affective relational patterns among interfaith actors. This study argues that Gus Dur’s pluralism operates not merely as a theological doctrine, but as a dynamic framework of civic engagement rooted in local wisdom and social interaction. By foregrounding ethnographic insights, the article contributes to global discussions on religious pluralism by demonstrating how ethical values can be operationalized as socially embedded and context-sensitive practices in plural societies.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) fatwa on Christmas, particularly the prohibition of greeting Christians with “Merry Christmas.” It addressed two main questions, namely what is the content of MUI fatwa on Christmas, and how does the relationship between tawhid and tolerance manifest in Christmas greetings? To achieve this objective, a qualitative case study design was used. Data sources included MUI fatwa on Christmas and the perspectives of young Muslim activists on Christmas greetings. The results showed that MUI fatwa on Christmas and the prohibition of Christmas greetings were based on the 1981 and 2016 fatwas, further reinforced by sermons from North Sumatra and South Sulawesi MUI regarding Christmas greetings. MUI fatwa is derived from the Qur’an, Hadith, Usul Fiqh, and Ulama's opinions. The religious arguments referenced by MUI generally emphasize an attitude of hostility between Muslim and non-Muslim, while other normative sources that promote religious tolerance are not adequately referenced to provide a context for harmonious relations between Muslim and non-Muslim. Meanwhile, the perspective of young Muslim activists on the relationship between tawhid and Christmas greetings shows that there is no direct relationship between tawhid and Christmas greetings. However, the greetings can foster religious tolerance. MUI perspective on Christmas, particularly the prohibition of Christmas greetings, appears to be irrelevant to the context of Indonesian pluralistic society.

Abstract

The proliferation of digital media has fundamentally transformed the production, circulation, and legitimation of religious knowledge, including the discipline of uṣūl al-dīn as the foundation of Islamic theology. Traditional structures of authority rooted in scholarly chains of transmission (sanad) and institutional recognition are increasingly mediated by algorithmic visibility, engagement metrics, and participatory interaction within networked digital environments. This study examines how these transformations reshape both the authority and rationality of Islamic theological discourse in cyberspace. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in digital discourse analysis, data were collected through non-participant observation of theological content and interactions on social media platforms, and analyzed using thematic and critical discourse frameworks. The findings reveal a significant epistemic shift from sanad-based legitimacy toward forms of performative and algorithmic authority, where visibility, emotional resonance, and communicative accessibility play central roles. The rationality of kalām, traditionally characterized by systematic and deductive argumentation, has been rearticulated into concise, modular, and visually mediated forms adapted to digital communication structures. Furthermore, theological interpretation emerges as a participatory and dialogical process involving both content creators and audiences, resulting in fluid authority and the distributed production of meaning. Based on these findings, this study proposes the concept of Participatory-Digital Hermeneutics of Uṣūl al-Dīn as a conceptual framework for understanding contemporary theological interpretation. This model highlights four key features: collaborative interpretation, fluid authority, narrative-performative rationality, and networked meaning production. While the normative foundations of ʿaqīdah remain intact, their articulation and public negotiation are increasingly shaped by digitally mediated interaction.
AGAINST KALĀM FOUNDATIONALISM: IBN TAYMIYYAH’S EPISTEMOLOGY AND ITS STRUCTURAL CONVERGENCE WITH WITTGENSTEINIAN FIDEISM Munir Munir; M. Rachmatullah Arken; Mohd. Roslan Mohd Nor

Abstract

This article examines whether Ibn Taymiyyah’s rejection of taqdīm al-ʿaql, the kalām principle assigning rational argument priority over apparent scriptural meaning, constitutes an independent epistemological theory, and whether that theory shares structural features with Wittgensteinian post-foundationalism as developed by D. Z. Phillips and Norman Malcolm. The analysis applies a two-stage method combining Davidsonian interpretive charity with a Lakatosian distinction between the hard core and protective belt of Ibn Taymiyyah's epistemological program, drawing primarily on the Darʾ Taʿāruḍ al-ʿAql wa-al-Naql, al-Radd ʿalā al-Manṭiqiyyīn, and Bayān Talbīs al-Jahmiyya. The study identifies four structural homologies between Ibn Taymiyyah's epistemology and Phillips-Malcolm fideism, alongside three irreducible ontological divergences at the level of correspondence theory, cosmological realism, and the transcultural scope of fiṭra. These findings weaken the irrationalism charge associated with Laoust, Massignon, and Wolfson, demonstrating that Ibn Taymiyyah's resistance to kalām operates as a coherent epistemological position rather than fideistic evasion.

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

Abstract: Recent debates on mining governance in Indonesia have intensified discussions among Muslim intellectuals regarding environmental ethics and natural resource management. While previous studies have examined religion as a source of moral legitimacy or resistance to extractive industries, little attention has been paid to the epistemological processes through which Islamic normative concepts are interpreted in constructing religious reasoning. This article investigates how Ulil Abshar Abdalla and Ahmad Suaedy develop religious reasoning in Indonesia's mining debate during 2024-2025. Employing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) informed by a maqāṣid al-sharīʿah perspective, the study analyzes eight purposively selected texts, including opinion articles, public statements, social media posts, and digital discussions. The findings demonstrate that both intellectuals draw upon a shared Islamic normative tradition but construct distinct forms of religious reasoning by prioritizing different objectives of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. Ulil develops a maṣlaḥah-oriented justification that emphasizes public welfare, contextual ijtihād, and policy accommodation, whereas Suaedy advances a justice-oriented justification grounded in equality, accountability, and distributive justice. Based on these findings, the article proposes the concept of dual religious justification to explain how different epistemological priorities within the same Islamic interpretive tradition produce distinct yet internally coherent forms of religious reasoning. The study further argues that maqāṣid al-sharīʿah functions not only as a normative framework but also as an epistemological resource for contemporary Islamic ethical reasoning.

Abstract

Contemporary mental health discourse increasingly recognizes the importance of spiritual, relational, and existential dimensions of human well-being, yet indigenous intellectual traditions remain underrepresented in the construction of culturally grounded mental-health frameworks. This article examines the spiritual conceptions of human well-being found in Sanghyang Siksa Kandang Karesian (SSKK) and Sewaka Darma (SD) and places them in dialogue with Pierre Hadot’s concept of philosophy as a way of life and al-Ghazali’s theory of tazkiyat al-nafs in Ihyā’ ‘Ulūm al-Dīn. Using qualitative library research and philosophical hermeneutics, the study analyzes the concepts of Dasa Kreta, Dasamala, Iyatna-Yatna, and Jatiniskala, and compares their transformative orientations with riyāḍah al-nafs, tazkiyat al-nafs, murāqabah, and ma‘rifatullah in al-Ghazali’s thought. The findings reveal structural similarities, rather than conceptual equivalence, in the way these traditions understand human flourishing as a process of spiritual self-formation. The comparative analysis yields a four-stage Nusantara Spiritual Mental Health Model comprising self-regulation, inner purification, reflective awareness, and spiritual transcendence. The model conceptualizes mental health not merely as the absence of psychological disorder or the achievement of emotional stability, but as an ongoing process of ethical cultivation, spiritual awareness, relational balance, and orientation toward transcendent reality. The study argues that Old Sundanese manuscripts can be approached not only as philological and cultural artifacts but also as epistemic resources for culturally grounded understandings of mental well-being.
