Abstract

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.

Abstract

Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani is a prominent figure in Muslim society. Compared to the influence of his intellectual works, the revered status he has earned is in large part because of his known outstanding spiritual qualities. He enjoys a place of honor that can hardly be equaled by other scholars and saints in Islam. The spread of this respect for him is not only a local phenomenon in Indonesia but also found in other countries. From the practice of venerating the shaykh in various places, it is known that the tradition has a global and a local dimension in the religious structure of Muslims. This issue is investigated through a comparative approach of textual and field studies in Indonesia and Turkiye. The study concludes that the preservation of the tradition of honoring the shaykh is possible because of the existence of supporting factors, such as the legacy of in the forms of books or institutions, the spread of documents or manuals that commemorate the figure, the development of communities that respect and practice his teachings, the emergence of rituals or activities associated with the figure on a regular basis. By those factors, the veneration becomes a popular and deep-rooted tradition.

Abstract

Despite the increasing number of zakat amil institutions in Indonesia in the past few years, many lack market segmentation-oriented efforts in serving the donor members. Marketing tactics and programs are often designed general, believing that every member would respond the same to ‘one for all’ programs. This research aimed to conduct market segmentation for qurban donors with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as the underpinning theory. A survey of 464 members of Baitul Maal Hidayatullah National Zakat Amil Institute (BMH) Surabaya was performed. Employing cluster analysis statistical technique, this study identified four distinct qurban donor segments, namely: 1) Aqliyah segment with 2%; 2) Ihsaniyah segment with 28%; 3) Insaniyah segment with 54% and 4) Ubudiyah segment with 16%. This result shows that religious is not the only motive of offering sacrifice. In fact, insaniyah which refers to solidarity is the most prevalent motive.

Abstract

This article examines the roles and political behaviors of Al-Irsyad during the President of Soekarno's reign (1945-1965).This study is part of an effort to complete the history of Al-Irsyad's journey which seems to have not been revealed by academics, the role and political attitude of Al-Irsyad in the era of President Soekarno in particular. Using historical research methods supported by the main primary sources that have not been explored by scholars, such as a collection of writings welcoming the "Musjawarah Besar dan Ulang Tahun ke-25 Pemuda Al-Irsjad, 1964" and a collection of writings to welcome "Muker IV Pemuda Al-Irsjad Tahun 1967, the study has revealed that Al-Irsyad as the organization of a religious social movement that at the beginning of its establishment focused on the development of modern (Islamic) education, then shifted and involved on political movement. Its involvement in politics was pragmatic and accommodative. The proof of its pragmatism showed when it joined the Masyumi Party. Those two parties had similar Islamic views and even Masyumi could support the Al-Irsyad members’ political rights. Meanwhile, Al-Irsyad’s pragmatic-accommodative attitude was shown when addressing Soekarno's policies during the Guided Democracy. It was performed to obtain protection from Soekarno. Therefore, it is common knowledge that in the era of Guided Democracy, the statements of Al-Irsyad's figures were supported by Soekarno's political policies in many ways.

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.
