Indonesian capital market regulators have already accommodated Islamic products as one of Indonesian capital market products. Theoretically, Islamic investment promises three main benefits i.e. spiritual, financial, and social benefits. Realizing Islamic investment in the sense of those three main benefits needs serious effort. This paper discusses the perception of capital market investors. This study suggests that their opinion as to whether or not sharī‘ah capital market products had fulfilled their expectations of Islamic comprehensive objectives. Islamic capital market instruments are part of Islamic instruments. The Islamization of financial institutions and instruments in the modern era has emerged not only to meet Muslims’ need for financial activities but also as the medium to realize the higher objectives of Islam, i.e. maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah in economic and financial activities.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v23i2.2408

This article discusses the reconstruction of Islam in Wajo by looking at Lontaraq Suqkuna Wajo of Datuk Sangaji Sengkang collection as the main source of the study. As a script, lontaraq is an evolutionary change of the Kawi script which has been being modified and has long been used as evidenced by the finding of inscription on the fort site of Somba Opu and Lagaligo epics written before 1600. Lontaraq script occupies an important position in the cultural history of Bugis Makassar. For Bugis, lontaraq has two meanings: (1) lontaraq as an history and science and (2) lontaraq as a writing.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v18i3.429

This article examines the attempt by Muhammadiyah to respond to the issue of returning to the primary sources -the Qur'an and the hadith -to resolve modern problems. The focus will be on the concept, method and source of ijtihad (legal reasoning) used by Muhammadiyah. The author will argue that Muhammadiyah faces several problems in formulating a method to reinterpret the Qur'an and the hadith and these will be critically analysed.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v10i1.643

This article proposed the term moderate fundamentalism, as a tool in understanding the defining characteristic of the PKS. In short, the term refers to fundamentalism in a moderate perspective, enabling moderate fundamentalists to be involved in political activities adaptively and without resorting to the use of radical means. Using this term, I argue that the PKS is a part of the fundamentalist faction, differentiating it in principle from other modernist groups or parties in Indonesia. Its moderate nature, however, also differentiates it from the radical camps within the fundamentalist faction. The use of the term moderate fundamentalism allows for the observation of diversity within the fundamentalist faction and contributes to new insights into present-day Indonesian Islamic political parties.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i3.546

K.H. Ali Maksum is recognized as one of the most leading 'ulama's (Muslim Scholars) of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the biggest traditional Muslim organization in Indonesia. This can be seen not only frorn the fact the he became rais 'am (the highest post in the structure of NU) from 1981 to 1984, but also from an important political role be played in this organization. It was Ali Maksum who supported the NU to take the principle (khittah) of 1925 in 1984 by which NU come back to be a social-religious organization after having had involved in the political practice. Likewise it was also Ali Maksum who "protected" Abdurrahman Wahid -the executive head of NU- from strong criticism of the 'ulami's as advocated by K.H. As'ad Syamsul Arifin. Abdurrahman Wahid was contended from his misconduct, especially from traditional Islamic viewpoint, so that be was elected again in 1989 as the executive head of the NU.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v6i3.725

Almost all governments in the world, including authoritarian, claiming that their political system is democratic. However, not all governments in the Muslim world accept this system. Among the 'ulama and Muslim intellectuals themselves there are differences of opinion about the system and the concept of democracy. In general, the modernist Muslim groups accept this system, because he was judged to be compatible with Islam, while Muslim groups "fundamentalist" and mostly conservative Muslims reject this system, because it supposedly excludes the sovereignty of God.The problem that often arises is how to implement human rights in Islamic societies. Then in 1990 the Muslim countries which are members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) issued a "Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam" , after over 13 years of discussing this issue among its members. Thus, there are two declarations for the people of Islam, namely: Cairo Declaration on the top and the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights".DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v3i1.812

This essay examines the transformation of charity administration operated by zakat agencies in Indonesia with special reference to Dompet Dhu’afa. This study offers an approach of marketing Islam in elaborating on zakat organizations that exercise community development through economic, social and humanitarian aid for disadvantaged people. The practice of zakat administration is basically designed to develop community-based programs among the poor and not struggle for Islamization or the politicization of Islam. Marketing zakat agencies does not attempt to commercialize religion; rather it is committed to the objective advancement about the effectiveness of religious teachings in Muslim communities. Marketing zakat to the public tries to demonstrate its role as the vanguard of social justice especially for the benefit of the destitute and needy. The proliferation of state-sponsored zakat agencies (BAZNAS) vis-à-vis community-based zakat organization (LAZ) is not a case of state-initiated Islamization. It is rather an attempt at regulating public affairs, including zakat funds, within the state administration.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v22i3.2353

This article discusses the manuscript of Butuhaning Manusya Mungguhing Sarak as an evidence of the acceptance of Islamic texts in the cultural context of inland Java, particularly in the Sultanate of Yogyakarta, which is often considered to be more concerned with the mystical or hakikat aspects of Islam. Its analysis focuses on the way of Javanese receive the orthodox Islamic texts in the cultural context of Java and the functions of the texts in the religious life of Javanese. The existence of the Kitab Butuhaning in Yogyakarta asserts that sharī‘ah aspects have been accepted among the people in countryside Java. It also confirms that Islam in Yogyakarta seeks to balance the sharī‘ah and mystical aspects. This article argues that translations or adaptations of Arabic Islamic texts into Javanese culture and language become one of the Islamization routes in Java.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v19i2.365

The birth of Jamaah Tabligh was in fact a direct reaction to the emergence of aggressive Hindu proselytization movement, such as the Shuddhi (Purifying) and Sangathan (Consolidation) movement, which made wide-reaching attempt in the early 20th century to "return" to Hinduism those who had "left" the religion and converted to Islam during the period of Muslim political power in India. The main target of these right-wing Hindu movements were those they called "borderline Muslims" who still maintained many beliefs and cultural habit that had come from Hinuism. Maulana Muhammad Ilyas, founder of Jamaah Tabligh, believed that only a grass-roots Islamic movement could challenge the effort of Shuddhi and Sangathan, thought "purifying" these "borderline" Muslims and educating them about basic faith and worship in order to save them from the process of Hindunisation.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v11i3.596

Book Review: Arskal Salim, Challenging the Secular State: The Islamization of Law in Modern Indonesia. (Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press,2008), xiv + 256.The book by Arskal Salim is one of the scholarly works which examines the relation between religion [Islam] and state, in particular the dynamics of its relation in contemporary Indonesia. The main focus of the discussion concerns with islamization of law in modern Indonesia, which consists of three points: constitutionalization, nationalization, and localization. The first two points refer to how shari'ah (Islamic law) is integrated into state constitution and implemented in act. The last part refers to the way the sharti'ah (Islamic law) is made as the foundation of issuing regional regulation (peraturan daerah) or qanun in Aceh, which regulate citizens' right and obligation in regional level.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v16i2.486
