Abstract

Post conflict societies face major challenges in rebuilding social unity, particularly in areas with long histories of communal and religious tension such as Mamasa, West Sulawesi. This study aims to analyze how customary authority and religious institutions interact with state institutions in sustaining post conflict peace in Mamasa. The research adopts a qualitative design using a case study approach. Data were collected through in depth semi structured interviews with ten purposively selected informants, including customary leaders, religious leaders, community members, youth figures, representatives of the Interfaith Harmony Forum (FKUB), and local government actors, supplemented by participant observation and an analysis of relevant policy documents. The data were analyzed thematically using an interpretative approach through coding, iterative theme development, and source triangulation. The findings indicate that sustainable peace in Mamasa is produced through a hybrid configuration that integrates the cultural legitimacy of customary institutions, the moral authority of religious actors, and the procedural support of state institutions in conflict resolution. The implication of this research is that strengthening institutional collaboration that connects restorative justice procedures with customary mediation and interfaith moral leadership is crucial for making reconciliation more durable.   Masyarakat pascakonflik menghadapi tantangan besar untuk membangun kembali kesatuan sosial, terutama di wilayah yang memiliki sejarah ketegangan komunal dan keagamaan seperti Mamasa, Sulawesi Barat. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis bagaimana otoritas adat dan institusi keagamaan berinteraksi dengan institusi negara dalam mempertahankan perdamaian pascakonflik di Mamasa. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus intrinsik. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam semi terstruktur dengan 10 informan yang dipilih secara purposif, yakni pemimpin adat, pemimpin agama, anggota masyarakat, tokoh pemuda, perwakilan FKUB, dan aktor pemerintah daerah, serta dilengkapi observasi partisipatif dan analisis dokumen kebijakan terkait. Data dianalisis secara tematik dengan pendekatan interpretatif melalui pengodean, pengembangan tema secara iteratif, dan triangulasi sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perdamaian berkelanjutan di Mamasa terbentuk melalui konfigurasi hibrida yang mengintegrasikan legitimasi budaya lembaga adat, otoritas moral aktor agama, dan dukungan prosedural institusi negara dalam resolusi konflik. Implikasi penelitian ini adalah pentingnya penguatan kolaborasi kelembagaan yang menghubungkan prosedur restorative justice dengan mediasi adat dan kepemimpinan moral lintas agama agar rekonsiliasi lebih tahan lama.

Abstract

  Modern social science, shaped by a positivist epistemology, tends to separate facts from values, so religion is often placed outside the realm of legitimate social knowledge, even though in many Muslim societies it continues to shape norms, authority, and public life. This study aims to reconstruct Kuntowijoyo’s Prophetic Social Science as a conceptual-analytical framework within contemporary Islamic social theory. This research is a conceptual paper employing a qualitative literature review approach. The data were collected purposively from Kuntowijoyo’s major works, especially Islam Sebagai Ilmu and related writings, as well as supporting literature in social theory, Islamic epistemology, and recent studies on religion, normativity, and knowledge production. The analysis was conducted through reflexive thematic analysis by means of repeated close reading, identification of conceptual patterns, thematic grouping, and interpretive reconstruction of theoretical relationships. The findings show that Prophetic Social Science can be reconstructed not merely as a normative-ethical project, but as a conceptual-analytical framework that integrates revelation, reason, and social reality in a dialogical manner. The categories of humanization, liberation, and transcendence can therefore be positioned as analytical tools for examining socio-religious dynamics such as authority, inequality, moral contestation, and institutional relations. This study implies that Prophetic Social Science offers an alternative path for developing a non-reductionist social theory that connects normative orientation with empirical analysis.   Ilmu sosial modern yang dibentuk oleh epistemologi positivistik cenderung memisahkan fakta dari nilai sehingga agama kerap ditempatkan di luar sumber pengetahuan sosial yang sah, padahal dalam banyak masyarakat Muslim, agama tetap aktif membentuk norma, otoritas, dan kehidupan publik. Penelitian ini bertujuan merekonstruksi Ilmu Sosial Profetik Kuntowijoyo sebagai kerangka konseptual-analitis dalam teori sosial Islam kontemporer. Penelitian ini merupakan artikel konseptual yang menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berbasis studi literatur. Data dikumpulkan secara purposif dari karya utama Kuntowijoyo, khususnya “Islam Sebagai Ilmu” dan tulisan terkait lainnya, serta literatur pendukung dalam teori sosial, epistemologi Islam, dan kajian mutakhir tentang agama, normativitas, dan produksi pengetahuan. Analisis dilakukan melalui reflexive thematic analysis dengan pembacaan berulang, identifikasi pola konseptual, pengelompokan tema, dan rekonstruksi interpretatif atas hubungan teoretis antarkonsep. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Ilmu Sosial Profetik dapat direkonstruksi bukan sekadar sebagai proyek normatif-etis, tetapi sebagai kerangka konseptual-analitis yang mengintegrasikan wahyu, rasio, dan realitas sosial secara dialogis. Kategori humanisasi, liberasi, dan transendensi terbukti dapat diposisikan sebagai perangkat analitis untuk membaca dinamika sosio-keagamaan seperti otoritas, ketimpangan, kontestasi moral, dan relasi institusional. Implikasi penelitian ini adalah bahwa Ilmu Sosial Profetik menawarkan jalur alternatif bagi pengembangan teori sosial non-reduksionis yang menghubungkan orientasi normatif dengan analisis empiris.
