Abstract

Traditionally, da‘wa (Islamic preaching) has been conducted face-to-face in mosques or communities through sermons and personal interactions. However, the advent of digital technology has significantly transformed these practices. Digital da‘wa   facilitates the dissemination of religious messages via social media, websites, and mobile applications, allowing messages to transcend geographical boundaries. This study explores the perceptions and motivations of Tuan Guru in Lombok regarding the adaptation of digital da‘wa  . Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with Tuan Gurus in Lombok, supplemented by observations and documentation. The study identifies four themes reflecting Tuan Gurus’ perceptions of digital da‘wa  : general views, effectiveness, accessibility and interactive convenience, and content quality and delivery. Similarly, four themes emerged regarding their motivations: expanding the reach of da‘wa  , adapting to contemporary trends, fulfilling religious and moral obligations, and seeking economic opportunities. This research provides a robust empirical analysis, offering valuable insights for developing more effective and contextually relevant digital da‘wa   strategies in the modern era.

Abstract

Between 1965 and 1968, South Blitar as the “last defense” of Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) underwent military operation. In East Javanese’s memories, PKI members frequently clashed with members of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Indonesia’s largest Muslim organization prior to the 1965 coup, and led to thousands of deaths, mostly among PKI affiliates afterwards. For decades, both groups lived in silent grievance. From the mid-1980s, under NU leader Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur), a new movement toward understanding and reconciliation emerged. This research examines how Syarikat, an informal NU youth network inspired by Gus Dur’s vision, facilitated cultural reconciliation in South Blitar without relying on formal NU structures. Based on oral histories and narrative analysis (2021–2024), the study highlights the role of religious legitimacy and moral authority in reshaping perceptions and building trust. The findings suggest that culturally grounded, empathetic dialogue rooted in shared spiritual values can heal historical divisions and promote social inclusion.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the religious expressions embedded in the local culture of the Pencak Macan among the coastal community of Gresik, East Java. The research method used in this study is qualitative research, employing an ethnographic approach combined with the study of cultural ecology in coastal communities. Data were collected through interviews, observations, document research, and focus group discussions. The informants were cultural practitioners of Pencak Macan from three sub-districts in the Gresik, namely Bungah, Sidayu, and Gresik districts. The results illustrate that Pencak Macan is a distinctive traditional procession for the coastal community of Gresik. It is a traditional art symbolizing the journey of life, particularly marriage. Featuring tigers as husbands, monkeys as wives, and Gondoruwo as conflict, it portrays the domestic trials needing patience and faith. This Gresik tradition, performed during bridal processions, emphasizes faith and piety, serving as a warning against succumbing to temptations that distort human nature.

Abstract

This paper analyzes Nahdlatul Ulama’s (NU) involvement in Indonesia's 2024 Presidential Election, focusing on the convergence of ideological and pragmatic motives. The study examines how different factions within NU align with various presidential candidates, driven by both the desire to protect Aswaja values and the need to maintain relevance in the political sphere. Using qualitative methods by conducting in-depth interviews with several NU circle and political party elites at national and local levels, inside and outside Java, and in the NU-base and non-NU Base regions, this study finds that NU’s political engagement often reflects a mix of ideological commitments to maintain Aswaja doctrine and the non-ideological motives which are the proximity to the party or candidate motive, patronage motive, and economic incentives and access to power motive. The research also highlights the challenges NU faces in maintaining neutrality while navigating the complexities of electoral politics. These diverse interests have ultimately led to polarization within NU and prove that NU is not a monolithic political force. Thus, this paper argues that NU's political participation is an unavoidable aspect of its identity, shaped by ongoing tensions between religious principles and the demands of a changing political landscape.

Abstract

This article deals with the transformation of conflict and the formation of identity of the Bandanese people in the Banda Islands after Maluku conflict through an analysis of kabata, folk songs that record the historical narratives of the colonial era. This research employs a grounded theory approach to collect field data from the Banda Islands and Ambon Island, as well as literature related to the Banda Eli community in Kei Island. The finding indicates that the Maluku conflict had an effect on the diversity of religion, custom and social relation among the Banda people, and led to the fragmentation of identity—the communities of Banda Neira Islands, Banda Eli in Kei and Banda Suli in Ambon—on the basis of religious aspects and their bond to Banda lands. The transformation of conflict created a consolidation of identity of Banda Islands community, which became religiously more exclusive, especially after the rise of conservative Islam in Indonesia. This article fills the gap in the study of kabata by positioning it as a key to understanding how the identity of the Bandanese people has developed and adapted within the context of the long history of colonialism and contemporary conflicts.

Abstract

This paper investigates how far the Qur’an penetrated into the ritual of Samin people in Central Java. Taking their conversion to Islam and the politics of religion as point of departure, this paper argues that the attempts of Samin people to negotiate their previous belief to the present involve their unique interpretation of the Qur’an in their religious tradition. For the young Saminist it is a strategy to shape new morality and materiality of being a Muslim. The present ritualistic tradition among Saminist then comes up with complexity; it is by maintaining the locality and adopting the new element for their ritual. Such negotiation was due to massive political project of santrinization in contemporary Indonesia and vast decline of abangan community. In this context, the Qur’an and the produced religious ritual at certain tradition among Saminist are discursive in which the Samin community rationalize the new ritual based on their understanding about Islam rooted on their historical narrative.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of Islamic identity in Indonesian horror films from the 1980s to the 2020s. Employing an interpretive qualitative method, this study analyzes selected horror films from each decade to uncover patterns of change in the portrayal of Islamic identity through narrative, symbolism, and character depic­tion. The findings reveal three key trends: first, during the 1980s and 1990s, Islamic identity was prominently depicted through characters such as Kiai or Ustaz, who served as exorcists. Second, in the 2000s, representations of Islamic identity diminished, replaced by themes of secula­rism and eroticism. Third, in the 2020s, Islamic identity re-emerged more explicitly, with stronger Islamic themes present in both storylines and visual symbols. These findings suggest that the portrayal of Islam in Indonesian horror films reflects not only the socio-cultural dynamics of society but also market strategies aimed at appealing to a predomi­nantly Muslim audience. This re­search contributes to inter­disci­plinary studies on Islam, popular culture, and Indo­nesian film while paving the way for further inquiries into the relationship between religion and mass media.

Abstract

Contrary to what happened elsewhere in Indonesia, conversion of Chinese descents to Islam in Wattan Soppeng is considered peaceful and more numerous. While religious conversions sometimes followed by family disputes and often breakup, this article shows the gradual and peaceful conversion to Islam of the Chinese in Watan Soppeng. It also uncovers the origin of the Chinese conversion to Islam, the motives, and the relationship between Chinese Muslim converts and local indigenous people. This study applied three methods to obtain data and information, namely in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The data and information obtained were verified, classified, integrated, and described. The research results show that the conversion process began in the 1950s and has been lasting for approximately seventy years. This conversion was caused by some reasons, namely the interest in Islamic teachings, the motive of marriage, and the self-awareness to convert to Islam. So far, the native Chinese have maintained good relations with the local Bugis community. Those who embraced Islam enjoyed more intensive social interactions.
DETERMINANTS OF CONSUMER LOYALTY IN HALAL TOURISM: Unveiling the Critical Factors Driving Visit Intentions of Muslims and Non-Muslims in Lombok, Indonesia Primadona, Fitry; Hartoyo, Hartoyo; Yuliati, Lilik Noor; Arsyianti, Laily Dwi

Abstract

This paper explores the behavioral mechanisms that shape consumer loyalty in halal tourism, focusing on Lombok Island, Indonesia. Using quantitative data from 685 respondents, including 600 Muslims and 85 non-Muslims, the study applies descriptive statistics and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that halal-friendly attributes significantly influence perceived value, satisfaction, and trust among Muslim tourists. However, these attributes do not directly lead to loyalty. Instead, perceived value plays a central role by enhancing satisfaction, trust, and ultimately loyalty. Satisfaction also strengthens trust and loyalty, while trust has a moderate effect on loyalty. These results suggest that visible halal elements are necessary but not sufficient; deeper psycho­logical engagement is essential. The study recommends that halal tourism providers focus on emotional experience, authenticity, and transparent service to build long-term loyalty. The implications emphasize a shift from functional halal compliance to meaningful and trust-based relation­ships with Muslim travelers.

Abstract

This study departs from two questions: 1) how did state-controlled politics in Indonesia's New Order era influence the negotiation of religious identities among urban Chinese Muslims, and 2) how was the concept of citizenship defined and redefined within this religious and political context? From those questions, this study delves into the interplay between urban Chinese Muslims, state politics, and the concept of citizenship in Indonesia. Using a historical method and sampling of Chinese Muslims in Jakarta this article highlights the experiences of urban Chinese Muslims that are affected by restrictions on their rights as citizens, including political aspirations, and reveals the dynamics shaping the relationship between Islam and state politics in urban areas. The response of Chinese Muslims in Jakarta during the New Order period can be an important contribution to the national narrative and the enduring legacy of the country's politics on religious identity and citizenship in contemporary Indonesia.
