Abstract

The spread of Islam in Maluku occurred not only in central areas of power but also in the peripheral regions. Based on various ancient Islamic manuscripts, this article examines the contextualization of these manuscripts within the broader framework of Islamization and acculturation with local traditions in the peripheral regions of the Maluku Islands. By combining a field research and literature study with contextual analysis, the article explores the significance of these manuscripts in preserving and transmitting Islamic knowledge, as well as the development of Islam in this region. The research findings indicate that these manuscripts reflect the dynamic interaction between Islamic traditions and local customs in the region. Additionally, the study highlights the textualization of ancient Islamic manuscripts, which contain various Islamic teachings that were contextually adapted to align with local culture. This paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the processes through which Islam was integrated into the cultural fabric of the Maluku Islands.

Abstract

This article describes and analyzes how the virtual communities of Nahdlatul Ulama Garis Lucu (Funny Brigade) have created a new religious culture in Indonesia through their Instagram posts. There are four important elements of their Instagram posts, namely the content, humor as a means of communication, interactions, and digital media as a new public sphere. The content analyzed is only a few samples related to three topics, i.e., religious teachings, religious practices, and religious conversions. The analysis is qualitative in nature, from a philosophical-conceptual point of view, especially through the lens of Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of the carnivalesque. Such a concept highlights the importance of humor in these Instagram posts. Humor brings trust, equality, and also incongruity. The interactions allow for dialogism, and the digital space provides ample freedom. This article concludes that the Nahdlatul Ulama Funny Brigade has created a new image of Islam in Indonesia through its virtual carnivalesque.

Abstract

This article discusses the important features of social reform contained in the explanation of Sura Yasin, Chapter 36 of the Qur'an through Tafsir al-Jalālayn, delivered by Baha' al-Din Nur Salim, known as Gus Baha'. It places Gus Baha's interpretation within hypothetical oral interpretation, which Nadia al-Ouznaji calls a type of interpretation that relies on direct discourse between the interpreter and the audience and is based on using the Qur'anic text in a dynamic, realistic way to reform the individual and society. As a qualitative research, it uses recordings of the interpretation of Surat Yasin by Tafsir al-Jalālayn uploaded on the Muhibbin Youtube channel as a primary source. Using a descriptive analytical approach, this research found that Gus Baha's oral interpretation is closely related to social reform because it is in direct contact with the reality of society and generates an impact on people to achieve a reformist goal. Secondly, Gus Baha's explanation of Surah Yus through Tafsir al-Jalālayn contains directives and instructions that call for the reform of individuals and society in various aspects and levels of doctrinal, moral, educational, and social reform. Thus, this research supports Al-Waznaji's argument that oral exegesis is closely related to the task of reforming society.

Abstract

This article analyzes the extent to which Australian scholarship portrays the reality of Indonesian Islam from a socio-historical perspective. This article argues that there is no such thing as interest-free in the process of knowledge production in Indonesian Islam studies. The production of knowledge on Indonesian Islam made by Australian scholars in Australian universities are inextricably linked to political and economic interests of the country. This article found out that academic production among Australian scholars is directed by the vision of the country in order to protect Australia and all Australian citizens both politically and economically. In addition, the academic production is designed to make a stable relationship between Indonesia and Australia. For Australia, the existence of Indonesia does matter as its major forefront in facing external threats such as military invasion, asylum seekers as well as immigrants. The stability of relationship will lead to the creation of economic prosperity among Australian citizens in general.

Abstract

This article analyses the existence of the Hadrami Arabic School in Betawi, which shows the ambivalence of Habib ‘Uthmān's attitude as a figure who is exclusive on the one hand and inclusive on the other. The figure portrayed often responds to the problems faced by the hadrami community in Betawi, including the scope of education with his idea of an Arabic School. This article explores Habib ‘Uthmān's life journey, work, and thoughts written in archives or books, journals, and newspapers related to Habib ’Uthmān in the context of his life history, including the curriculum of the Arabic School. This article finds that Habib ‘Uthmān supports the implementation of an education system that maintains the hadrami community and rejects education systems that are contrary to hadrami customs and traditions, including those initiated by the government so that he seems exclusive. On the other hand, Habib ‘Uthmān is found to support government policies, including educational concordance, so he is considered inclusive. This attitude shows Habib ‘Uthmān's ambivalence in Betawi towards the hadrami community and Dutch colonial policies, which is a form of humanization, which is the core purpose of education.
OUR HUSBAND AND CHILDREN ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGED: Endogamy, Gendered Power, and Child Issues in the ‘Alawiyyīn Marriage in Indonesia Rahmaniah, Syarifah Ema; Taufik, Egi Tanadi

Abstract

This paper analyzes the endogamous marriage practices among the ‘Alawiyyīn community in Pontianak Indonesia and the problems of gender inequality and child discrimination. This ethnographic research was conducted within eight months in 2021 and 2023. The doctrine of endogamy is actually misogynistic narratives towards the Sharifah women, silent resistance against exogamy, and refusal of half-blood child. The discussion analyzes the phenomenon of Muslim kin marriage within the socio-setting of religious-historical aristocracy and the patriarchal hegemony of the patrilineal community. It also highlights how the ‘Alawiyyins of Pontianak defend the doctrine of endogamy as institutionalized in the concept of kafa’at against exogamy practices among the community. The resistance to endogamy is practiced as a complex negotiation among ‘Alawiyyīn members for normalizing exogamy as they re-internalize and institutionalize the doctrine of kafā’at. Against the dogma, the exogamy marriage directly affects normalizing non-familial marriages among ‘Alawiyyīns, restoring the social status of those performed out-marriage and recognizing their descendants as clan members. However, the insistence of ‘Alawiyyīns in defending their kin marriage doctrine at all-cost makes this counter narrative remain in the sideline at the moment.

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the ideology of progressive Islam of the Muhammadiyah Young Intellectuals Network (JIMM), a progressive wing within Muhammadiyah. This provides a systematic discussion of the construction of the JIMM’s ideology, its genealogy, and its current development. This is primarily based on the qualitative data purposively collected through participatory observation and interviews, conducted mainly during the 2023 JIMM Congress in Yogyakarta. By employing a sociology of knowledge approach, this article finds that the progressive idea of JIMM is deeply rooted in and has a coherence with Muhammadiyah, particularly in Ahmad Dahlan’s ideology of progressive Islam which combines religious liberalisation and social liberation as embodied in the Al-Ma’un Theology and the Alleviation of Public Misery. We argue that in its recent evolution, JIMM’s ideology of progressive Islam has responded to various contemporary issues, as demonstrated by its activists who have proposed to focus more on the advocacy for human rights, gender justice, religious harmony, universal access to education, environmental stewardship, and caderisation.

Abstract

This study delves into the spiritual lives of Indonesian female migrant workers in Taiwan. It uncovers how these workers actively engage in pengajian (Islamic study sessions) to address spiritual needs. The research question in this study is how do pengajian contribute to fulfilling spiritual needs, strengthening communication networks, and forming national identity for Indonesian women migrant workers in Taiwan. This research uses a qualitative approach with an online data collection method, involving in-depth interviews with the management of the pengajian and participatory observation of its activities of Indonesian women migrant workers in Taiwan. The research reveals that these gatherings facilitate everyday Islamic jurisprudence studies, sufism moral introspection, Quranic learning, and salawat recitations. Additionally, these sessions foster robust communication networks among workers, enhancing their information exchange, relationships, and discussions. In uncertain conditions, these gatherings provide ideological reinforcement, social engagement, and a sense of national identity. The study suggests potential future research avenues in education and political ideology of these migrant workers.

Abstract

This article examines the narrative identity of the Muslim community in Pegayaman Village, located in Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency, Bali Province. As the oldest Muslim community on the predominantly Hindu island of Bali, the people of Pegayaman Village possess unique characteristics compared to other Muslim communities on the island. These include the tradition of combining Balinese and Arabic names for their descendants, the use of Arabic books translated into Balinese in daily life, and various forms of acculturation between Balinese traditions and Islamic teachings. These unique features suggest a dual identity for the Pegayaman community, representing themselves as both Balinese and Muslim. The theoretical framework for this study is Paul Ricoeur's narrative identity theory, while the research approach employs a qualitative method using narrative analysis and literature review. The findings indicate that both historical and fictional narratives contribute to the formation of the Pegayaman community's narrative identity. Meanwhile, the idem and ipse identities, reflected in the culture, traditions, and character of the Pegayaman community, are rooted in both extralinguistic and linguistic dimensions. Moreover, the narrative identity of the Pegayaman community generates ethical, aesthetic, and political implications for its members.

Abstract

Muhammadiyah has historically played a significant role in bridging conflict through multicultural da’wah. Although the organization originated in Yogyakarta and was initially intended only for the local community, it has evolved into a national and global da‘wa movement that spans across ethnicities, including Chinese Indonesians. Literature discussing Muhammadiyah’s da‘wa is abundant, yet little is known about Muhammadiyah’s multicultural da‘wa and its impact on Chinese Muslim Indonesians. This study aims to reveal the historical role of Muhammadiyah in establishing multicultural da‘wa for Chinese Indonesians. Using a qualitative historical research method and an interdisciplinary approach, the findings illustrate that due to the encouragement of the chairman of the Muhammadiyah Central Executive, K. H. Ibrahim, Chinese Muslims propa­gated Islam to the people within their ethnicity, through the establishment of PITI. Further, Muhamma­di­yah’s da‘wa method inspired Chinese Indonesians to carry out da‘wa in a similar way. Chinese Indonesians who have converted to Islam preach Islam through the organization and da‘wa bil hal.
