<![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[Online social media has been widely used by Muslim preachers in Indonesia. This research critically examines the activities of Instagram account @edhnx which spreads da‘wa messages of popular preachers massively on his Instagram account. The research uses a qualitative approach with virtual ethnographic methods. The context of public space which is close to freedom actually harbors discourses of domination and reputation. The da‘wa messages from popular preachers are deliberately disseminated to get audience responses in the form of opinions, interactions and participation. As it progressed, audience responses became increasingly diverse. This then creates an ideal public space, namely a public space that fulfills the activities of a multicultural society. Thus, social media accounts are not only used as a space for mutually beneficial interaction. Ownership of public space gives rise to control of digital public space through preaching messages that can be carried out by anyone without having to first become a preacher. Social media accounts ultimately become an ideal public space to demonstrate dominance as a subject controlling space which can be done openly and freely by utilizing da‘wa messages.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the Shia minority in Makassar, South Sulawesi, who was excluded by anti-Shia groups, and received support from the local government. The exclusion of Shia in Makassar is contrary to the constitution in Indonesia which guarantees freedom of religion for all religious people, including the Shia group. The purpose of this study is to explain that the act of exclusion against the Shia group in the public sphere is against the Constitution. From this study, there is an urgency to build religious inclusivity and equality in democratic public policies. This study uses a qualitative approach with primary data collection methods conducting in-depth interviews with several competent informants in Makassar.]]>

<![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[The increasing trend of hijra in Indonesia since the last decade has had an impact on workers in the Islamic banking sector. Even though these workers are already working in Islamic financial institutions, not a few of them have resigned because they want to leave usury. This study aims to explore the views of members of the XBank community regarding Shariah non-compliance practices at Shariah banks, the causal factors, and their implications for these financial institutions. This study was conducted on former Islamic bank employees who resigned due to religious reasons and joined the Xbank community. Data was obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings of this study indicate that the resignation of workers in the Islamic banking sector is influenced by the many practices that violate sharia principles in the process of executing Islamic bank products. This sharia non-compliance was triggered by the low commitment of Islamic bank human resources to sharia principles and pressure from management to pursue bank profit targets. This sharia non-compliance has the potential to cause a decline in Muslim confidence in this Islamic financial institution.]]>

<![CDATA[This article discusses the electoral contestation and eventual defeat of Islamic parties in Indonesia's past 2024 general election. Data for this article were collected using a mixed-methods approach. Field research was conducted by the authors between March and June 2022. In addition, the authors also collected data from articles written in various national and international journals, as well as official government offices. Collected data were subsequently analyzed using the perspectives of political sociology and gender justice. Islamic parties and nationalist parties sought to gain the votes of Indonesia's Muslim-majority population by raising such issues as women, education, poverty, and the revival and survival of Islam both at home and abroad. This article also argues that the future of Indonesian Islam lies in two civil society organizations, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama, which represent the moderate Islam. Political Islam, conversely, relies on an essentialist understanding of Islam to attract voter support. Islamic parties do not share a clear political ideology, nor do religious-nationalist parties.]]>

<![CDATA[Theology has been employing logic in order to justify faith with reasons not to mention bridging a gap between some different theological schools of thoughts. This article aims to examine Wirman’s claim of fallacies against Nasution’s theological thought. Thus, I will investigate two questions: (1) What sort of fallacies does Wirman charge against Nasution? (2) If there is no specification, then would it be fallacies at any rate? To address these questions, I strive to capture Wirman’s main premise for identifying those fallacies, exploring Avicenna’s ḍarūrī, and discussing thirteen Aristotelian fallacies. On the one hand, the conclusion of this investigation might topple Wirman’s accusation, and on the other hand it might look like a consolation for Nasution. Having said that, both Wirman and Nasution do reason only in the realm of Aristotelian logic instead of Avicenna’s account of necessity.]]>

<![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[The comprehension of democracy and Shura by the Islamic community plays a crucial role in enhancing participation in democratization processes. However, a lack of thorough understanding may lead to disparities and disagreements. The Wasathiyah Islamic Preaching Movement offers a solution by facilitating a deep understanding of both concepts. This article employs a literature review methodology, analyzing seven articles across three databases—PubMed, Scopus, and SpringerLink—to explore the empowerment efforts within the Islamic community regarding democracy and the principles of Shura, as facilitated by the Wasathiyah Islamic Preaching Movement in Indonesia. The findings suggest that the empowerment of the Islamic community in understanding democracy and Shura, through the Wasathiyah Islamic Preaching Movement in Indonesia, is achieved through moderation (tawasuth), balance (tawazun), tolerance (tasamuh), and justice (ta’addul). This article aims to serve as a resource for society to mitigate the potential for disparities and disagreements in applying democratic principles and Shura.]]>
