Abstract

To address the question of how extensively Islamic institutions have integrated climate change and environmental (CCE) issues into their curriculum, the Center for the Study of Islam and Society (PPIM) at UIN Jakarta, in collaboration with Greenpeace Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Ummah for Earth, launched the Greenpeace MENA-Ummah for Earth program. This initiative, which began in July 2023, aims to analyze the curricula of Islamic universities and develop strategies for addresing climate and environmental principles into teaching materials. The program seeks to strengthen the role of Muslim community, particularly the Ulama, in promoting environmental conservation efforts.

Abstract

This paper examines a late 19th-century brochure entitled ‘Perdjalanan ke-‘Tanah-Tjoetji’ (A Pilgrimage to the ‘Holy Land’) written by Dja Edar Moeda, a Dutch-educated native teacher and a pioneer journalist and vernacular press entrepreneur in Sumatra. The text offers a critical perspective on the Hajj, differing from the majority of this corpus, which tends to show religious enthusiasm and saintly connotations. This paper demonstrates that the ‘deviant’ voice on the Hajj in the Brochure reflects the author’s concerns. As a native intellectual and religious modernist with a Western-secular education, he worries about the fate of his fellow native pilgrims, who are often victimised by rampant fraudulent practices in the organisation of the Hajj due to their illiteracy, map illiteracy, innocence, naivety and tendency to be submissive in their religious practice. In this respect, the Brochure indirectly criticises the Dutch East Indies colonial authority’s deficiencies in organising the pilgrimage and protecting the pilgrims as its colonial subjects.

Abstract

In the context of Muslim-majority Indonesia, we see the strengthening of Islamic piety as a response to the reorganization of people’s daily lives under neoliberal imperatives. Our study investigates how the often-overlooked Muslimah laborers in the historical locality of Solo Raya navigate their public and domestic spaces to fulfil distinctive gendered roles. They resort to organized labor movements to fight for workers’ rights and realize the imagination of working-class solidarity, while donning hijabs and negotiating curfews from their male guardians. They also play caregiving roles to parents, children, and husbands; filling the deficiency of basic social and health services they demand from the state, while ensuring security in the afterlife, which is not achievable in their material one. The pious common sense can impinge on the collective wills of the workers to challenge the neoliberal structures that shape experiences of marginalization. But it is no less meaningful in maintaining life (and being resilient) in an increasingly unfair socio-economic world.

Abstract

On December 13, 2024, the Institute for Languages and Cultures of the Islamicate World at the University of Cologne held the “Indonesian Studies Day 2024” in Cologne, Germany. Chaired by Prof. Dr. Edwin P. Wieringa (Professor of Indonesian Philology, University of Cologne) and co-chaired by Muhammad Nida’ Fadlan (PhD researcher in Indonesian Islamic Philology, University of Cologne), this academic event focused on the intersection of religion, culture, and identity within the context of Islam in Indonesia. It served as a colloquium that gathered Indonesian PhD students in Europe to discuss the latest research on this subject. There were two main reasons for this event. First, Indonesia is a country that is globally still unfamiliar to many people, even though it has the largest population of Muslims in the world. The attempts to showcase the rich Islamic heritage of Indonesia have not yet been very successful. Second and relatedly, there is still a need to promote academic activities related to Indonesian Islamic studies. This forum brought together doctoral students from different European universities who are researching various topics related to Indonesian Islam, enabling profound and fruitful discussions. By coming together, this intellectual gathering encourages and furthers research in this area.

Abstract

This essay provides an historical overview of broad currents in the social scientific study of Islam in Indonesia from the Modjokuto project of the early 1950s to today. It makes three broad points. First, the essay shows that a perennial influence on the refiguration of Muslim politics and ethics in Indonesia has been, not scriptural principles alone, but the global ascendance of the modern nation state and Muslim intellectuals’ and politicians’ efforts to craft a Muslim public ethics consonant with the realities of a modern and religiously plural nation. Second, the essay shows that another feature of the social scientific study of Islam in Indonesia has been the ascendance of Indonesia-born Muslim intellectuals to positions of intellectual leadership in the field. Third, the overview makes clear that one of the most important recent achievements of this social scientific research has been to explain how Indonesia succeeded in developing the most effective and sustainable democracy in the Muslim-majority world.

Abstract

This article discusses Robert W. Hefner’s Islam and Citizenship in Indonesia: Democracy and the Quest for an Inclusive Public Ethics (2024), that characterizes the interplay between religious culture and politics in Indonesia not as a single trend, but as a contentious project of nation-making and citizen belonging. The book seeks to address broad questions concerning the role and influence of Indonesian Muslim culture and its social movements, the messages conveyed through Islamic higher education, the social roles of Muslim women, and the impact of electoral democracy on the contested interpretations of Islam in the Indonesian public sphere. The book argues that the relationship between religion and state, and other forms of authority in Indonesia as a process of religionization, which distinguished from Islamization, while also emphasizing Indonesia as a site of agonistic plurality. By dispersive and multi-sectoral approach, the book offers a compelling framework for understanding the complex entanglements between religion, state, and society in shaping Indonesian public ethics.

Abstract

This essay considers continuities and discontinuities in the study of gender and Islam in Indonesia since the 1960s, tracing key themes that emerged early on and in many cases continue to animate contemporary scholarly discussion. Important themes include enduring patterns of matrifocality; the complementarity of gender roles; and the “essential bilateralism” of gender orders – which have led to assessments of the “relatively high status of Southeast Asian women.” This essay will focus on the impact of the resurgent interest in Islam on Indonesian gender studies from the 1980s until today, emphasizing the evolving status and role of women in the context of recent social and political developments and the rise of a new Indonesian Muslim middle class. It argues for the continuing importance of local, on-the-ground case studies that speak to broader regional patterns but also to Indonesia’s impressive ethnic and regional diversity.

Abstract

This special issue retrospective on the study of Islam in Indonesia chronicles several disciplinary approaches, methodological strategies, and theoretical interventions in the study of the social, economic, political, artistic, and religious life of Islam, across nearly eight decades of Indonesian independence. As a collection of essays in the spirit of reflection on a wide corpus of scholarship, these essays cover an incredible breadth of ground. This introduction offers some context for the intellectual vision of this panel (moving towards Post-Orientalist collaborations) and ponders possible future models of research and scholarship that are cognizant of trends in postcolonial theory and decolonial thought that seek to diversify and amplify voices on the margin, not simply for the sake of diverse representation, but especially to expand and sharpen our understandings of Islam in Indonesia.

Abstract

Research concerning the Indonesian Hadrami diaspora predominantly centers on male actors, with contributions primarily from male scholars. There remains a notable lack of scholarship that adequately addresses the contributions of Hadrami female religious authorities and is authored by female scholars. I begin by examining the research surrounding the Hadrami diaspora in the Indian Ocean region. In the second part, I focus on literature concerning Hadrami women to highlight the scarcity of research that explores the dynamics of contemporary Indonesian Ba ‘Alawi female preachers, despite their impact in coloring Indonesian Islam. Finally, through the perspective of feminist epistemology and “gender jihad,” I emphasize the epistemological contributions by these preachers as the preservers and disseminators of their Sufi tradition, known as Ṭarīqah ‘Alawīyah, while also providing new interpretations and practices of this thariqah. This article helps to enhance our understanding of the Hadrami diaspora in the Indian Ocean region, the dynamics of Sufi networks, and the roles of women in Indonesian Islam.
Indonesian Post-Orientalist Study of Islam Ali, Muhamad

Abstract

This article seeks to explain the emergence of an Indonesian post-Orientalist study of Islam from the 1990s onwards, which results from the increased influx of Indonesian-born scholars into the study of Indonesian Islam, a field previously dominated by Western-born scholars. In contrast to Edward Said’s adverse Orientalists, to the Arabic-based dirāsah islāmiyyah, and the previous generations of Indonesian Western-educated scholars, the post-1990s generation of pesantren-and-Western-educated Indonesian scholarship has taken selectively elements from Islamic texts and traditions, humanities, and social sciences in analyzing contemporary Islamic beliefs and practices. With an eclectic intellectualism combining faith and public mission, Indonesian Muslim scholars have reinterpreted Qur’anic and classical Islamic concepts while engaging different Western theories regarding religion, law, identity, and social movements. By analyzing local and national figures and movements, using diverse sources, and negotiating the tensions between the normative, practical, scriptural, and contextual, they aim to represent Islam and Muslims in their diversity and complexity in global, national, and local dynamics. With collaborative work at home and abroad, they contribute to pursuing different trajectories with scholarship and activism for Indonesian society and beyond.
