<![CDATA[This article traces the history of Majelis Taklim groups in Indonesia since their emergence and reviews the groups’dynamics in the local Jambi region. Alongside the rise of Majelis Taklim, it details the advancement of women’s roles in the public sphere and their contributions to a functioning democracy. I argue that the role of Majelis Taklim groups has changed in recent decades, with the groups providing a vehicle for Muslim women’s interests and voices to be heard. In particular, women in Majelis Taklim groups are showing much more awareness of political issues compared to the past. Changes have occurred in wider Indonesian society, most significantly their participation in education since the 1960s. This is reflected in the gradual improvement in the Gender Equality Index and Human Development Index of Jambi in 2019 when compared to nearly a decade earlier in 2010, however, gender inequality issues, mainly regarding labor and political participation, are still strong.]]>

<![CDATA[This article discusses two elements of the evolution of Sufism amongst young urbanites. First, it explores the dynamics of the youths who are actively involved in spiritual activities at cafés, councils, and pesantren in Yogyakarta. Second, it investigates their response to the religious formalism promoted by Salafist organizations. Such spirituality offers a means of enriching religious perspectives and discourses. At the same time, urban Sufism (as promoted by zikir groups, prayer groups, and pesantren) has been challenged by Islamic organizations that adhere to doctrines of Salafism/Wahhabism and transnational Islamism. This study employs a qualitative approach by collecting its data through observations and interviews with urban Sufis in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It finds that youths' opposition is not only to religious formalism produced by Salafists but also to formality and exclusivity known as brotherhoodism or tariqa (Sufi order) from Sufi itself. Their strict opposition to the dualism of religious formality provides them with an important means of critiquing the dominant strains of tasawwuf and religious schools (tariqa) while offering new religious dynamics.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper discusses the character of Wisnu (Vishnu) in Javanese culture as seen from two classical Javanese Islamic texts, namely Babad Tanah Jawi and Serat Suluk Warna-warni. Based on the two texts, this paper argues that Vishnu has been historically inseparable from the development of Islam in Java. Called the first king in the Land of Java, Vishnu was seen as the progenitor for the hereditary rulers of Java up to the Kingdom of Mataram Islam. In the texts, Vishnu underwent a transformation from one of the major deities in Hinduism to an important figure in the development of Islam in Java. Vishnu's reincarnation is also present in the form of artifacts and various wayang (shadow puppet) plays. In the context of Java, Vishnu and Islam represent a form of continuity that emphasizes the importance of the harmony of the universe. The presence of Vishnu and Islam brought safety and peace into the life of the Javanese. This study is expected to inspire the idea that revisiting literary works of the past could contribute to efforts to develop a peaceful and harmonious cultural life in Java.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to conduct an analytical examination of the interpretative approach of Muhammad ibn Umar Nawawi al-Jawi, known as Nawawi Jawi, in addressing the perceived contradictions in the Holy Quran within his exegesis entitled Marah Labid. The research utilizes a descriptive methodology to clarify the concept of contradiction, enumerating the conditions for contradiction between two issues with an example for each condition. Additionally, it employs an inductive approach, followed by an analytical method, to understand Nawawi Jawi's strategy in addressing the six most apparent instances of perceived contradiction in the theological discourse, as mentioned in his interpretation. The findings of this research highlight that Nawawi Jawi employed a rigorous scientific approach in addressing these perceived contradictions in the Quranic verses. This study underscores the scientific value and significance of defending the Quran during its interpretation, demonstrating a practical example of the progressive role expected of an exegete.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper aims at exploring shared values in a traditional Islamic boarding school, Pesantren Sidogiri one of the oldest educational institutions in Indonesia, and their impact on the pesantren’s identity construction. Pesantren Sidogiri has been running for nearly three centuries with all of the distinctive characteristics and customs. Through ethnographic study this article seeks how the community in this particular pesantren engages with the educational system organised based on their shared values. The results demonstrate that the shared values preserved shape the identity of the traditional Islamic education institution namely persistent greater emphasis on Islamic teaching, moral development, and shared awareness not to depend on the states’ policies in two areas: teaching materials and funding.]]>

<![CDATA[Hazairin is a leading figure in legal reform in Indonesia and is famous as the pioneer of the idea of Indonesian madhhab. This paper examines Hazairin's interpretation of the Qur’an issued to bilateral and mawāly theories in the inheritance system in Indonesia and the implications of his interpretation. This study uses a hermeneutic approach to interpreting the Qur'an, which looks at how Hazairin reads and provides interpretations of inheritance law verses in the context of inheritance in Indonesia. The results showed that Hazairin interprets the inheritance verses differently as he tries to present these verses by considering local values. Hazairin's interpretation of the Qur'an Surah al-Nisa (4): 7 has found the bilateral system, which is adopted in article 174 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), and his interpretation of the Qur'an Surah al-Nisa (4): 33 has found the new concept of mawāly system and is adopted the Compilation of Islamic Law Article 185. For this reason, this study argues that the interpretation by referring to prevailing local values as carried out by Hazairin can provide a strong foundation, but it should always refer to the source of Islamic law.]]>

<![CDATA[Although Wahhabi institutions have neither grown rapidly nor attracted a significant number of followers in Indonesia, the spread of Wahhabist thoughts among Indonesian Muslims has outreached the institutions and their propagators. This study proves the argument by examining the rift among a Muslim community in the Eastern Java village of "Karang Mojo", in which Wahhabism penetrates into the lives of the villagers due to exposure to a Wahhabi television station "Rodja”. This Wahhabi televangelism TV channel typically broadcasts religious narratives that exclude and attack the culturally vibrant practices of Indonesian Islam that preserved the tolerance to the local cultures. No prior record was found of the presence of a Wahhabi propagator or institution in the remote village. However, currently, a Muslim group with heavy Wahhabist influence has emerged in the remote village through various channels including Rodja television (hence, the group is hereinafter referred to as Rodjai). Through a series of observations and interviews with a number of people from the various groups in the village, the study points out the powerful influence of Wahhabism that penetrates into not only the urban areas but also the rural villages of Indonesia. The previously-unified Muslim community in the village is now divided. The Rodjai group in the village is very aggressive in attacking the culturally-rich practices of traditional Indonesian Islam and condemning those practices as heretical and superstitious that deviate from the pure teachings of Islam.]]>

<![CDATA[Driven by strong political reforms in Indonesia, women's rights have become one of the nation's most prominent agendas. But Indonesia's women's equality agenda is running out of steam. The argument is that we have ignored the importance of Indonesian Islam, which informs and shapes the nation's 'habit of the heart'. So that the nation's efforts to entrench gender equality substantively, legally and culturally have been inefficient. With this argument, this paper emphasizes the importance of considering Indonesian Islam as a crystallization of local values that can strengthen women's rights in CEDAW, as has been proven. There is gender perspective in private legal products such as the Marriage Law and KHI (which intersect with culture and religion) and the development of expert opinions that use these arguments. This article presents examples of the use of Islamic customs and Indonesian culture to advance women's rights in the Indonesian context, even though in reality they are not fully CEDAW-compliant.]]>

<![CDATA[This article studies the transformation of economic theology indicated by the present of financial service access provided by the government to the lower-class society, particularly those living around pesantren. They so far find difficulty in accessing financial service as they are faced with the requirement of collateral and high interest rate. Responding to such condition, Indonesian government develops micro-sharia financial institution called pesantren-based Bank Wakaf Mikro (BWM). This institution has developed and reached many lower-class people with affordable loan scheme in the last five years. Uniquely, this institution not only provides financial loan but also contains theological and Islamic economic education dimensions through weekly halaqah (study circle) activity. This halaqah becomes a place where the customers of BWM attend pengajian (communal Quran study) held by BWM and perform dhikr (remembering Allah by saying laa ilaha illaallah). Through observation and interview, the author studied the vision of pesantren-based BWM founder, strategy and activities conducted and economic theological transformation in the frame of lower-class community empowerment. This research contributes to encouraging the solidarity-based economic activities in the context of Islamic economic theology.]]>
