Abstract

Since 2010, mosque revitalization has become a strategic priority of Muhammadiyah, emphasizing the integration of religious observance with community-based empowerment. This study examines the Garbage Charity Program (Sedekah Sampah) as a transformative model of mosque-led initiatives that promote belief, worship practices, and civic engagement. Grounded in Social Capital Theory, the research examines how trust, norms, and social networks are fostered through environmentally motivated religious actions. Utilizing a Concurrent Triangulation Design, qualitative data were collected through field observations, semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, and document analysis, enabling methodological cross-validation. The findings indicated that the program fosters mutual trust and collective responsibility among mosque congregants, while reinforcing Islamic ethical norms related to charity and environmental stewardship. The initiative has gained traction beyond Bantul, with its success replicated in Central and West Java, and it has been recognized both nationally and internationally. It has expanded to include eco-mosque features such as rainwater harvesting and greywater filtration for ablution, promoting sustainability through faith-based frameworks. This convergence of religious values and environmental consciousness generates robust spiritual and social capital. In conclusion, mosque-based empowerment initiatives can significantly contribute to community resilience and sustainable development when anchored in localized religious practices and supported by substantial social capital.

Abstract

The implementation of multicultural Islamic Education in Islamic-based universities often creates its own dynamics, especially for non-Muslim students who are part of an inclusive academic environment. This study aims to describe the response of non-Muslim students to learning Islamic Education in a multicultural context at Muhammadiyah Mataram University. This Islamic campus is open to diversity. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a field research design, this study involved 75 non-Muslim students from seven study programs through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation in class and campus social spaces, and documentation of curriculum and academic policies. Data validity was maintained with a method triangulation strategy. Data analysis was conducted using Miles and Huberman's model, which involves the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the responses of non-Muslim students were mixed: some showed appreciation for the inclusive approach and universal values in Islamic Education, while others felt less engaged because the materials were considered too normative and exclusive. Factors such as the lecturer's pedagogical approach, the relevance of the material, and the social dynamics in a multicultural classroom greatly influenced their perceptions. This research recommendation encourages higher education policymakers to strengthen curricula and teaching methods that are dialogical, adaptive, and inclusive, thereby increasing tolerance and fostering peaceful coexistence in multicultural campus environments.

Abstract

Religious moderation has emerged as a central discourse in strengthening social cohesion and countering the rise of exclusivist and radical narratives in Muslim-majority societies. While formal education has been widely explored in this regard, the contribution of nonformal settings such as Islamic pilgrimage guidance institutions remains underexamined. This study investigates how the nonformal religious education practices of KBIH ’Aisyiyah Bantul integrate religious moderation values tolerance, anti-violence, balance, and accommodation of local culture through a framing approach. Drawing on qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, the research highlights the institutional strategies in embedding moderation during Hajj preparation and community-based religious activities. The analysis employs frame theory to uncover how moderation values are articulated, negotiated, and internalized within the educational process. Findings demonstrate that KBIH ’Aisyiyah Bantul frames religious moderation as both a theological imperative and a socio-cultural necessity, aligning with broader efforts in Indonesian Islamic education reform. Moreover, the results reveal that digital learning spaces and e-learning platforms extend the reach of moderation discourse, while pilgrimage experiences situate moderation within global encounters of diversity and communitas. These insights underscore the potential of nonformal education to complement formal curricula in shaping inclusive religious identities. The study’s global relevance lies in showing how localized practices of religious moderation can contribute to international debates on peacebuilding, intercultural dialogue, and resilience against radicalism. Implications are offered for policymakers, educators, and faith-based organizations seeking to foster sustainable models of moderation in religious education worldwide.

Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of marriage registration implementation in Pekanbaru City through a juridical-sociological approach. The main focus of the research is to examine the implementation of marriage registration regulations, identify inhibiting factors, and formulate an effective model of approach. The findings reveal that the ambivalence of Article 2 of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage creates legal uncertainty, where society tends to perceive marriage registration merely as an administrative formality rather than as a requirement for the legal validity of marriage in the eyes of the state. The study further reveals the significant impact of unregistered marriages, particularly on the legal protection of women and children. Empirical data show that 45% of divorce cases cannot be formally processed due to the absence of a marriage certificate, while 35% of children from unregistered marriages face difficulties obtaining complete birth certificates. At the implementation level, there is a notable geographical disparity, with the highest compliance rate in Pekanbaru Kota (85%) and the lowest in Rumbai Pesisir (68%). The main inhibiting factors include regulatory, socio-cultural, economic, bureaucratic, and infrastructural aspects. The complexity of procedures, limited digital infrastructure (only 45% of Religious Affairs Offices possess adequate facilities for the SIMKAH system), and weak coordination between Religious Affairs Offices and the Civil Registry Office (with data integration only at 65%) further exacerbate the situation. This study recommends a holistic approach encompassing regulatory reform, infrastructure equalization, bureaucratic simplification, and intensive public outreach through multi-stakeholder collaboration to enhance the effectiveness of marriage registration in Pekanbaru City.

Abstract

This paper critically examines Wael Hallaq’s argument that contemporary Islamist movements are structurally shaped by colonial modernity and that the modern Islamic state is a hybrid formation rooted in Western political epistemologies rather than an extension of classical Islamic governance. While compelling, these framing risks underemphasize the heterogeneity, agency, and adaptive capacities of Muslim reformist actors. Using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis and a decolonial framework, the study interrogates the ideological and epistemic assumptions underlying Hallaq’s “impossibility thesis.” The textual analysis shows that his lexical, modal, and metaphorical choices construct a narrative of structural closure that minimizes reformist creativity, while the discursive-practice analysis reveals how his arguments circulate within Western academic paradigms that can unintentionally reinforce epistemic hierarchies. The socio-ideological analysis demonstrates that, although Hallaq exposes the colonial genealogy of the modern state, his emphasis on rupture sometimes obscures how Islamist movements creatively reinterpret shūrā (consultation), maṣlaḥah (public interest), and khilāfah (caliphate), within contemporary political contexts. The findings argue for a more nuanced account of Islamic political agency and situate Islamism within broader debates on decolonial praxis, epistemic plurality, and emerging frameworks such as Islamic multiple modernities, ethical-political subjectivity, and multi-scalar engagements with state power.

Abstract

The rapid development of Islamic philanthropic activism in Indonesia has drawn much attention among scholars, practitioners, and policy makers. It appears that efforts to promote Islamic philanthropic activism as a means of fostering social justice have been done by civil society organizations and the state’s agencies. It can be seen partly in the motives and objectives of Islamic philanthropic associations, as well as regulations enacted by the state regarding the practice of Islamic philanthropy since independent era until nowadays. It suggests that the philanthropic culture in Muslim societies is no longer governed in a traditional way, or simply to relieve the poor. Instead, it is expected that through the culture of giving, poverty can be alleviated, and Islamic associations can provide long-term development projects. However, in reality, these efforts to promote social justice have been constrained by several factors, including social, economic and political factors, and therefore enduring and systematic efforts from the state’s actors and civil society, to promote social justice are, still needed. Keywords: philanthropy, Islam, social justice.

Abstract

This article investigates the role of Majelis Tafsir Al-Qur’an (MTA), a dakwah movement operating aminly in Central Java. MTA is known as the Muslim purist movement whose mission focuses on the purification of Islam by utilizing the slogan back to the Qur’an and Sunnah. Using the social movemenet theory, the author analyzes the extent to which MTA uses cultural dakwah or symbolic-cultural mobilization as its dakwah strategy in order to produce counter-interpretation towards the established and hegemonic interpretation of the Javanese culture. Cultural dakwah can mean a bolization process of Javanese symbols by ataching new meaning and interpretation to thos symbols. The author further argues that even though the MTA’s dakwah movement is mainly characterized by confontative attitudes, the MATA has also shown its acomodative character by introducing new new understanding and meaning of the existing cultural symbols. Keywords: Majelis Tafsir Al-Qur’an (MTA), Islamic dakwah movement, symbolic-cultural mobilization.

Abstract

The mysticism up to now has been a debatable discourse. The notion and practice to fuse “the self” to “the Creator” understood in so many meanings is an interesting study. No exception the issue also falls on the concept of “Ingsun” or the I-amness solidified by Syekh Siti Jenar. The study is deeply aimed to re-reveal the notion and practice of the prominent figure. According to the writer, the teaching of Ingsun makes serious effort to turn a human consciousness back to authenticity especially in relation to religion. Ingsun opens the awareness that everybody has to actually receive the life always forming a pair among goodnessbadness, life-death and God-servant. Goodness, life and God are the eternal realities of the God. While badness, death and servant are the human realities. Meanwhile the teaching of Ingsun acts as brigde for a gap between human and God. Keywords: Ingsun, The Ultimate Reality, Anthrophocentrism, Syekh Siti Jenar

Abstract

The objectives of this article are: first, to discover the background of religious pluralism in Javanese society, notably among the communities in Ketanggi; second, to explore religious practices in Ketanggi; and third, to explore the religious attitudes of Ketanggi people towards religious pluralism. This article is based on field research carried out in Ketanggi sub-district of Ngawi, East Java, which is inhabited by the communities with different religious backgrounds. This paper argues that religious commitment among Ketanggi people is partly based on ‘tantularisme’, a sort of ethical principle which emerges as a result of the encounters between religion and local wisdom. The reception of Ketanggi people towards religious and cultural pluralism is partly expressed in the concept of lilo legowo (voluntary reception towards the other) which in turn become foundation of religious tolerance in that area. Keywords: religious pluralism, tantularism, and Javanese culture.
