Abstract

The practice of Kitab Kuning learning in Indonesian pesantren represents a fundamental aspect of Islamic scholarly transmission. However, long-standing teaching methods like sorogan and bandongan are coming under more pressure from modern educational needs, especially when it comes to getting students to pay attention and use their time wisely. While numerous acceleration initiatives have been implemented in various pesantren, systematic and empirically validated models of accelerated Kitab Kuning learning are still inadequately examined. This research examines pedagogical methods in three pesantren located in Madura and develops an evidence-based accelerated learning model for classical Islamic texts. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive-exploratory design, data were gathered via in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis at Almadinah Ganding Sumenep, LPI Maktuba al-Majidiyah Plakpak Pamekasan, and Darussalam Puncak Palengaan Pamekasan. The results show that traditional learning methods usually take students three to four years to master basic text, but accelerated teaching methods cut this time down significantly by using experiential, active, and contextual learning methods. The study advances theoretical understanding by framing accelerated textual literacy within pesantren pedagogy, enhances methodological approaches by suggesting a versatile multi-strategy instructional design applicable in various pesantren settings, and offers empirical validation through field-based evidence of its efficacy. The uniqueness of this research resides in the formulation of a structured acceleration model that maintains the epistemic authority and scholarly ethos of pesantren while addressing modern pedagogical challenges. These results have useful implications for developing curricula and training teachers in Islamic schools.

Abstract

This study examines the intellectual legacy of Shaykh Abdurrahman Shidiq bin Shaykh Muhammad Afif al-Banjari (c. 1857–1939), a distinguished Nusantaran scholar who served as Mufti of the Indragiri Kingdom during a period of profound colonial, social, and religious transformation. His scholarly contributions represent a synthesis of Islamic theology, Sufism, and education within the Ahlussunnah wal Jama‘ah tradition, reflecting the dynamics of Islamic knowledge production in the Malay-Indonesian world. The study aims to reconstruct his intellectual biography, analyze his principal writings, and evaluate the relative significance of five extant works that remain accessible to contemporary scholarship. Employing the historical method, the research follows four stages: heuristic, source verification, interpretation, and historiography. Primary data were obtained from printed works authored by Shaykh Abdurrahman Shidiq, complemented by secondary historical literature and preliminary interviews with local religious figures and scholars familiar with his intellectual heritage. The findings indicate that existing literature attributes at least sixteen works to Shaykh Abdurrahman Shidiq, covering the fields of theology, jurisprudence, ethics, Sufism, and Islamic education. Among the surviving texts, ‘Aqā’id al-Īmān appears, based on available textual evidence and field observations, to be the most widely studied in pesantren traditions, particularly in Indragiri and South Kalimantan. The study concludes that Shaykh Abdurrahman Shidiq made a substantial contribution to the development of Islam Nusantara through the transmission of Sunni scholarship and religious education. At the same time, this historical-textual reconstruction underscores the importance of systematic manuscript cataloguing, archival verification, and critical philological research to preserve and deepen understanding of Indonesia’s Islamic intellectual heritage.

Abstract

This study examines how LAZISMU’s inclusive productive zakat intervention contributes to the self-transformation of persons with disabilities in Indonesia. While previous studies have largely focused on the economic outcomes of zakat distribution, this research explores how zakat operates as a catalyst for multidimensional self-transformation. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, specifically Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), this study draws on in-depth interviews with seven beneficiaries of LAZISMU’s inclusive economic program: five with visual impairments who received business capital assistance, and two with physical disabilities who received prosthetic support. The findings reveal that productive zakat functions not only as economic assistance but also as a catalyst for self-efficacy, social recognition of dignity, spiritual meaning-making, and social participation among persons with disabilities. However, this transformation occurs within persistent structural constraints, including limited market access, social stigma, inadequate post-disbursement mentoring, and infrastructural barriers. This study contributes to the literature on Islamic philanthropy by demonstrating that productive zakat should be evaluated not only by income indicators, but also by its capacity to foster agency, self-confidence, social participation, and spiritual resilience among marginalized mustahik. The study also highlights the need to integrate structural transformation including disability-sensitive mentoring, accessible infrastructure, and stable market access into empowerment programs for persons with disabilities.

Abstract

This study examines how Islamic volunteerism functions as a process of transformation within the context of Islamic philanthropy in Indonesia. Moving beyond dominant perspectives that emphasize motivation and well-being, this research positions volunteer engagement as an embodied transformative learning process. The research aims to analyze how service experiences shape muzakkī who participate as volunteers in the (Badan Amil Zakat Nasional) BAZNAS Volunteer program understanding and practice of Islam. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research was conducted within the BAZNAS Volunteer activity at Kampung Muallaf Cepak Buah, Lebak, Banten, from 30 November to 1 December 2024, involving 15 participants purposively selected from 41 volunteers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and analyze using an integrative framework combining Transformative Service Research (TSR), Transformative Learning Theory (TLT), and the concept of self-embodiment. The findings show that encounters with social inequality foster religious reflexivity, reshape meaning, and transform Islamic values into lived and enacted practices. The study highlights self-embodiment as a key mechanism bridging service experience and emerging transformative learning. This research contributes to the development of Islamic studies by demonstrating that Islamic philanthropy serves as a dynamic space for the transformation of living Islam, and offers practical insights for designing volunteer programs that foster deeper religious engagement and sustained social commitment.

Abstract

This study explores the lived experiences and meanings constructed by Muslim activists in Bogor Regency in relation to digital activism through the online petition “Return Donor Money.” The study addresses the limited attention given to the subjective, emotional, and faith-based dimensions of local Muslim participation in digital activism, particularly when online mobilization is connected to issues of transparency, accountability, and Islamic social solidarity. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, this research draws on semi-structured in-depth interviews with five participants, consisting of mosque activists, a humanitarian volunteer, a blogger, an NGO activist, and a local religious leader. The data were analyzed through Moustakas’ phenomenological procedures, including epoche, horizonalization, clustering of meanings, and thematic interpretation, supported by observation and social media monitoring. The findings show that the petition functioned not only as a digital instrument for demanding financial accountability but also as a moral space for expressing concern, strengthening collective identity, and mobilizing solidarity among Muslim communities. Participants interpreted their involvement as non-violent resistance, ethical advocacy, and an effort to protect the value of taʿāwun within Islamic philanthropy. However, the study also reveals tensions related to misinformation, public skepticism, echo chambers, digital inequality, and digital dualism between online and offline identities. The study contributes to digital activism and Islamic communication scholarship by demonstrating that online petitions may operate as telepresence, enabling Muslim activists to transform moral awareness into collective advocacy and social change.

Abstract

Religious coexistence within multireligious societies is a key issue in the study of religion and pluralism, particularly amidst rising identity polarisation and religion-based conflicts. Although a number of studies have examined tolerance and interfaith harmony in Cigugur, West Java, most have focused on the role of local culture and have not comprehensively explained how religious coexistence is constructed, maintained and reproduced in the social life of the community. This study aims to analyse the social mechanisms that shape and sustain religious coexistence within a multi-religious community in Cigugur, Kuningan Regency, West Java. The research employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with religious leaders, community leaders, educators, village officials and local residents, as well as documentation of various social and religious activities within the community. The findings indicate that religious coexistence in Cigugur is constructed through the interaction of three main dimensions: genealogical, cultural and institutional. The genealogical dimension is reflected in inter-religious kinship ties that strengthen social cohesion. The cultural dimension is rooted in collective memory and values passed down through the Sunda Wiwitan tradition. Meanwhile, the institutional dimension is realised through the roles of families, schools, religious leaders, the village administration, and the Forum for Interfaith Harmony in reproducing the values of tolerance and communal living. These three dimensions are maintained through mechanisms of social negotiation that enable the community to manage differences whilst sustaining harmony. This study offers a multidimensional model of religious coexistence that broadens our understanding of interfaith relations within a multireligious society.

Abstract

This study examines how religious symbolism is negotiated within the political communication and da’wah strategies of Baitul Muslimin Indonesia (BAMUSI), an Islamic wing organization affiliated with the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle. The research aims to analyze how religious symbolism is used to construct political legitimacy, reduce anti-Islam stigma toward the party among Muslim voters, and generate polarized interpretations between internal and external actors. Using a qualitative approach within a constructivist paradigm, this study applies a case study design based on in-depth interviews, documentation, and interpretative analysis. The findings reveal that BAMUSI negotiates Islamic symbolism through an integrative discourse that positions Islam, nationalism, and Pancasila as compatible identities within Indonesian democracy. Religious symbols are represented not only through rituals and visual attributes, but also through social-religious programs, digital da’wah, and the involvement of Islamic figures to strengthen emotional and symbolic ties with Muslim communities. However, the study also finds that external actors frequently interpret these symbolic practices as political image-building and electoral camouflage rather than substantive religious commitment. This research concludes that religious symbolism in contemporary Indonesian politics functions as a multidimensional arena of meaning negotiation, political legitimacy, audience accommodation, and identity contestation. The study contributes to the development of political communication and Islamic politics scholarship by demonstrating how religious symbolism operates beyond ideological representation and becomes a strategic mechanism for political branding and legitimacy construction in democratic society.

Abstract

This study examines how ritual symbols, religious experience, and social meanings are negotiated within the Cokaiba tradition as a localized expression of Islam in Halmahera, Eastern Indonesia. Using a qualitative ethnographic case study design, the study draws on semi-structured interviews, participant observation, visual documentation, and document analysis. Fieldwork was conducted in Patani, Central Halmahera. Informants include religious leaders, community elders, youth participants, local scholars, and government officials with direct engagement in the tradition. Data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of symbolic interpretation, embodied religious practice, and social negotiation. The findings show that ritual elements such as masks, white costumes, mosque miniatures, and collective recitations of ṣalawāt and dhikr are not merely cultural artifacts but are actively reinterpreted as expressions of devotion to the Prophet Muhammad, markers of communal identity, and media of social cohesion. These meanings emerge through lived participation rather than fixed doctrinal interpretation. The study further reveals that Cokaiba functions as a site of lived religion where emotional engagement, intergenerational participation, and embodied ritual practices shape everyday Islamic experience. However, certain symbols particularly masks remain contested, reflecting ongoing negotiation between local ritual heritage and normative Islamic interpretations. The article contributes to scholarship on Islam lokal by demonstrating that religious meaning is continuously produced through processes of symbolic re-signification and discursive negotiation embedded in everyday social life.

Abstract

Media discourse has become a crucial arena in which public policy, religious legitimacy, and state authority are constructed and negotiated, particularly in religiously sensitive policy contexts such as Hajj governance in Indonesia. Despite extensive studies on Hajj administration, limited attention has been given to how media discourse legitimizes policy and reconfigures Islamic authority through linguistic and multimodal representations. This study aims to analyze how media discourse constructs and negotiates Islamic authority in the communication of the Hajj cost reduction policy, identify the discursive and multimodal strategies used to legitimize the policy, and examine their implications for contemporary Islamic governance. Employing a qualitative critical case study, this research analyzes selected online news reports published during the period surrounding the official policy announcement. Data were examined through the integration of Critical Discourse Analysis and Multimodal Discourse Analysis, focusing on lexical choices, actor representation, visual composition, and numerical visualization. The findings show that media discourse legitimizes the policy by framing Hajj cost reduction as ethical responsibility, positioning state institutions as legitimate religious authorities, reinforcing transparency and efficiency through numerical and visual representations, and embedding fiscal policy within the lived religious experience of Hajj. This study contributes to communication and Islamic governance scholarship by demonstrating that policy legitimacy is produced through the interaction of textual, visual, and numerical modes, resulting in a hybrid form of Islamic authority where bureaucratic governance and moral-religious values mutually reinforce one another.

Abstract

This study examines how Living Islam strengthens sustainable profit growth in Islamic banks in Indonesia by shaping internal resource management and institutional responses to external economic dynamics. It addresses a key problem in Islamic banking scholarship: profitability has often been explained through financial ratios and macroeconomic variables, while limited attention has been given to how lived Islamic values become organizational capabilities that sustain performance. Using a qualitative interpretive documentary approach, this research analyzes publications, regulatory documents, annual reports, sustainability reports, corporate governance reports, and policy literature through content and thematic analysis. The findings show that Living Islam strengthens profit growth by institutionalizing Islamic values into everyday organizational practices, including ethical governance, value-driven leadership, trustworthy human resource management, prudent asset allocation, operational efficiency, customer-oriented services, and adaptive responses to macroeconomic uncertainty. Internal resources such as capital, human capital, assets, digital infrastructure, ATM networks, and branch offices become stronger organizational capabilities when guided by amānah, iḥsān, shūrā, ʿadl, and maṣlaḥah. External factors such as national economic expansion, oil price volatility, and exchange rate movements are also navigated sustainably when strategic decisions are grounded in Islamic ethical principles. Theoretically, this study extends the Resource-Based View by conceptualizing Living Islam as a value-based organizational capability that transforms resources into sustainable competitive advantage. Practically, it offers strategic insights for Islamic bank managers, regulators, and policymakers to strengthen governance, organizational culture, human resource development, and long-term competitiveness.
