Abstract

This article discusses the inheritance distribution before death which is the preference of many people in Babat, East Java. They thought this distribution could prevent dispute among the heirs after the death of the predecessor. However, the dispute is unavoidable. This distribution is also problematic from the perspective of the four madhhabs. This is a qualitative and library research using the case study approach. This study shows that the inheritance distribution before death in the Babat area generally uses hibah method; only some apply the wasiat method. Although the inheritance distribution before death is problematic from the perspective of the four madhhabs in some cases, this is the choice of the Babat community because they consider this method to be more effective in preventing disputes. The inheritance distribution before death also plays an important role in minimizing family disputes in the area, especially if hibah and wasiat are practiced according to Islamic law and issues related to hibah are completely resolved to avoid disputes and struggles for rights in the future.  يناقش هذا البحث عملية تقسيم الميراث قبل الوفاة التي صارت اختيار كثيرٍ من الناس في منطقة بابات. إنهم يعتبرون هذا التقسيم أحسن طريقة لدفع النزاعات في الأسرة بعد وفاة المورّث. لكن في الواقع، لا تسلم هذه الطريقة من النزاعات. ومن تلك النزاعات ما أدى إلى طرد زوج المورثة من المنزل. وبالإضافة إلى ذلك، فإن تقسيم الميراث قبل الوفاة في منطقة بابات يتضمن مشكلات فقهية من وجهة نظر المذاهب الأربعة، لا سيما عند ممارسة عقد الهبة أو الوصية. هذا البحث هو البحث النوعي الميداني والمكتبي باستخدام منهج دراسة الحالة. توصل هذا البحث إلى أن تقسيم الميراث قبل الوفاة في منطقة بابات تم على طريقة الهبة في الغالب، وقد يتم التقسيم أيضا على طريقة الوصية، لكنه نادر. وإن كان تقسيم الميراث قبل الوفاة يتضمن مشكلات من وجهة نظر المذاهب الأربعة في بعض الحالات، إلا أنه صار اختيار المجتمع في بابات؛ لأنهم يعتبرون أن هذا التقسيم أكثر فعالية في منع النزاع. ويلعب تقسيم الميراث قبل الوفاة أيضًا دورًا مهمًا في تقليل النزاعات الأسرية في منطقة بابات، خاصة إذا كانت الهبات والوصايا تمت على وفق ما قُرّر في الشريعة الإسلامية وتم حل القضايا المتعلقة بالموهوب مثل تسجيل شهادات الأراضي وغيره لتجنب النزاعات والتناضل من أجل الحقوق في المستقبل.

Abstract

The Sulang Silima institution, a traditional authority within the Pakpak community, plays a critical role in shaping social norms and political structures, with its intersection with Islam revealing significant socio cultural, legal, and political implications. This research examines how Sulang Silima influences local political decision-making, particularly through its involvement in the selection of political leaders, thereby demonstrating the fusion of Islamic principles with customary traditions. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the study investigates the dominance of Sulang Silima in determining social and political policies, with a focus on the manifestation of identity politics in the Pakpak context. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, and interpreted using thematic analysis to extract key themes and patterns. The findings reveal that Sulang Silima acts as a powerful legitimizing body, integrating Islamic moral frameworks with indigenous political customs to influence community leadership and governance. This intersection of religion and tradition has created a distinctive political culture in which customary institutions serve as gatekeepers of authority, identity, and social order. However, the embeddedness of identity politics within this intersection raises concerns about the potential for exclusion, marginalization, and, at a broader level, national disintegration. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on the interplay between religion, tradition, and politics in Indonesia, emphasizing the urgency of understanding such intersections to promote inclusive political systems. By analyzing Sulang Salima's role, the research highlights how traditional and religious institutions can both stabilize and challenge democratic processes in contemporary society.

Abstract

This article investigates the mystical dimension embedded within the traditional Javanese performance art of Sintren, revealing its function as a medium for spiritual experience and transcendence. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study draws on Annemarie Schimmel’s theoretical framework on Islamic mysticism and incorporates in-depth analysis of Sintren performances, alongside field research involving practitioners, artists, and audience members. The research seeks to understand how Sintren facilitates spiritual engagement and mystical encounters within a cultural and performative context. Findings demonstrate that Sintren operates not merely as a ritual or cultural performance, but as a tangible expression of mysticism deeply rooted in Javanese spiritual consciousness. Through the interplay of music, dance, trance states, and symbolic language, Sintren creates a sacred space in which participants and observers alike experience a connection with the Divine. This mystical interaction transcends performative boundaries, offering both performers and audiences moments of transcendence and inner transformation. The study underscores how traditional art forms serve as vital vehicles for spiritual expression, embedding metaphysical themes within cultural practices. By highlighting the convergence of art and spirituality, this research contributes to broader discourses in religious studies, anthropology, and performance theory. It also underscores the urgent need to preserve and critically study cultural expressions like Sintren, which encapsulate rich, localized interpretations of the sacred. Ultimately, this research affirms that traditional art forms are not only aesthetic phenomena but also powerful conveyors of mystical experience and spiritual identity within indigenous cultural frameworks.

Abstract

Understanding cultural identity among students is a critical yet often underexplored dimension of educational research, particularly in multicultural societies. This study investigates the identity formation processes of Chinese-Muslim students in Malang, Indonesia, emphasizing the urgency of fostering cultural awareness and tolerance in educational settings. The research highlights how identity construction directly influences students’ sense of belonging and participation in society. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of cultural sensitivity for educators who engage with diverse learners. Employing a qualitative methodology, this study explores the lived experiences of five Chinese-Muslim students in navigating their cultural identities. Findings reveal that all participants belong to the Hui ethnic group but tend to self-identify as "pure Chinese," distancing themselves from their Hui-Muslim heritage. Despite physical similarities to the Han majority in China, these students experience marginalization in Indonesia due to their Chinese features, often feeling like cultural outsiders. In the academic context, their learning behaviors are shaped by cultural norms that emphasize passivity and individual effort, contrasting with the collaborative learning style more prevalent among their Indonesian peers. This creates challenges in group-based educational activities, although self motivation and strong parental support act as key enablers. By illuminating these identity dynamics, this study contributes to the broader discourse on inclusive education and intercultural understanding. The findings call for urgent pedagogical strategies that accommodate cultural diversity, enhance student engagement, and promote mutual respect in increasingly pluralistic classrooms.

Abstract

This article aims to trace the thoughts of Muhammad ‘Ali al-Sâbûni in attempt to develop the tarjîh method through the interpretation of ahkâm verses in Rawâî’ al-Bayân book. This is substantial to study since tarjîh is one of solutions taken by many ulama when there is a contradicting argument. Besides, the tarjîh principles used by al-Sâbûni have distinction compared to other ulama. This is library research included in qualitative study, implementing textual approach and Holsti’s version of content analysis. The analysis tools used in this article are tarjîh theories in usûl al-fiqh, both general theories of al-Shaukânî and al-Âmidi, which were then developed by Wahbah al-Zuhaili, as well as the application theories of tarjîh Ḥusain al- Ḥarbî. The results show that al-Sâbûni in Rawâî’ al-Bayân develops certain tarjîh principles and implements the method which is in accordance with those principles. In this case, there are 22 tarjîh principles and 16 implementation methods, taken from the solid source and basis such as Quran, hadith, theories in ‘ulûm al-Qur’ân and usûl al-fiqh, as well as the arguments of previous ulama. Implementation wise, al-Sâbûni is able to do innovative and objective tarjîh which are far from mazhab’s fanaticism.

Abstract

This research focuses on the dynamics of social intermediation implemented by BNI Syari’ah in Kendari City, South Sulawesi, Indonesia based on the Islamic law perspective and its impact on social life. In developing and realizing the social intermediation function of Islamic banks that arise from administrative-structural and cultural dimensions, the interpretation and meaning of a conceptual perspective are present. Therefore, this research applies a qualitative approach with a case study type through a one-site design. Data collection is done through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation study. The data were analyzed with the principle of on-going analysis using Miles and Huberman's analysis method. The research found that social intermediation implemented by BSK (BNI Syari’ah Kendari) really determines the potential and mentality of the poor society. This social intermediation is in the form of institutions such as the bayt al-mâl. This way, the poor can receive zakât, infâq, alms, grants, and other social funds. Furthermore, the social intermediation even has a positive impact on the community, because it integratively puts forward the concept of maslahah (according to the principles of maqâsid al-sharî‘ah).

Abstract

Egypt is negotiating with Ethiopia regarding the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Nile River. This research employs Negotiation theory combined with the role of power and Transboundary Water Interaction concept to understand the negotiation process Egypt carried out. The research findings show that Egypt, using its power that comprises material, bargaining and ideational power, tries to maintain its hegemony in the region. Egypt succeeded in inviting third parties such as the US, World Bank and UNSC in the negotiation process. Political dynamics in the region and internal instability after the 2011 Egyptian Revolution influenced Egypt's strength in its negotiations with Ethiopia. Thus, the interaction is related to contest and compliance. The development of GERD in Ethiopia is seen as a contest for the hegemonic situation, while Egypt is trying to create compliance with Ethiopia. Egypt seeks to create compliance with the status quo through some mechanisms: coercive, utilitarian, normative, and ideological hegemonic. Although the two countries compete with and obey each other, they still collaborate and negotiate to resolve the GERD problem. The interaction between these two during the negotiation process can be categorized as a neutral interaction with low conflict–low cooperation category.

Abstract

This article examines the philosophy of Western pragmatism since pragmatism is considered to be a real threat to human civilisation. It happens because pragmatism, as a philosophy, makes empirical facts and usefulness as the basis of everything. Thus, it fosters a sceptical attitude towards everything, doing things based on certain benefits, and ignoring norms as well as religious values. This study is a literature study since it examines various sources (books and scientific articles) analysed with a socio-historical approach with Kalâm jadîd science as the basis. The study focuses on the critical analysis on the concepts of knowledge, truth, morals and religion of the philosophy of pragmatism. This study shows that the concept of the philosophy of pragmatism is extremely contrary to Islamic values and teachings. Firstly, pragmatism has its own concept of truth, where empiricism and coherence of ideas and reality determine the value of a truth. Secondly, knowledge will be considered relevant as a scientific discipline if it is able to have a direct impact on and value or benefits for human life. Thirdly, religion and morals are realised as actions done according to human will.

Abstract

Radicalism in universities has transformed into covert movements that do not overtly display religious symbols and utilize technology to infiltrate academic communities. This study aims to identify how radical groups adapt within university environments in Central Java, and analyze campus policies’ and extra-campus organizations’ role in promoting religious moderation. It employs a qualitative method and phenomenological approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. It is based on cultural identity theory to understand how the academic community’s religious identities are shaped in response to radical infiltration. The findings reveal that universities in Central Java established Islamic traditions and facilities, including religious moderation centers, moderation gardens, and multifaith worship spaces to resist radical groups, teaching interfaith tolerance to the academic community. Extra-campus organizations are essential for shaping attitudes toward tolerance and religious moderation, depending on the dominant organizations’ nature at each institution. However, Salafi Jihadi, Ikhwanul Muslimin, Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), Jamaah Islamiyah (JI), Takfiri groups, and ISIS are radical movements, infiltrating extra-campus Islamic organizations. Universities implemented strict policies and preventive measures to combat radicalism within their academic environments. This study provides a deeper understanding of the campus’ strategies and highlights extracurricular organizations’ role in promoting religious moderation.
