Abstract

This study discusses the story of the death of Prophet Isa in Tafsīr al-Manār by Muḥammad ‘Abduh and Muḥammad Rashid Rida. Most commentators interpret QS. Ali ‘Imrān: 55 and QS. al-Nisā’: 157-158 by stating that Isa is still alive today. Allah saved Isa from assassination and crucifixion attempts by his enemies by lifting him up to the sky. One day Prophet Isa will come back down to earth before the end of the world to kill the Dajjal who committed destruction and apostasy on earth. This study is a literature review because it relies entirely on literature data from tafsir books, books, and journals, both print and online. Descriptive analysis was used in this study by including a hermeneutic approach that looked at the triadic relationship between text, interpretation, and context of interpretation. This research found that in the Tafsīr al-Manār it was mentioned that the Prophet Isa had died a natural death. Prophet Isa was indeed saved by Allah but not by lifting him to heaven. Ordinary methods protected him, finally died naturally, and was placed in a glorious place in the sight of Allah. Muḥammad ‘Abduh and Rashid Rida argue that there is not a single Qur’anic verse that states that Isa is still alive. Thus, the sentences in the Qur’an state that Isa has died. The hadith that explains the appointment of Prophet Isa is also the ḥadīth āḥād that cannot be used as a postulate for matters concerning faith or i’tiqād. This finding has implications for the understanding that the Prophet will not return to earth before the world’s end.

Abstract

This article aims to analyse the lyrics of an Arabic song entitled Sayyidi ar-Rais by Heba Meshary Hamada using Michael Riffaterre's semiotic theory. The song tells about the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The Israeli- Palestinian conflict that has caught the world's attention, through this song Heba M.H wants to convey a message which is her self-expression of the phenomenon that is happening. She tries to describe the situation and condition of the Palestinian people during the conflict. By using Michael Riffaterre's semiotic theory, the researcher wants to dig deeper into the meanings contained in the lyrics of the song Sayyidi ar-Rais. This research is a qualitative-descriptive research with the type of library research where the data obtained comes from literary sources related to the material objects and formal objects used. Based on the results of an analysis of the lyrics of the song Sayyidi ar-Rais using Michael Riffaterre's semiotic theory, namely through heuristic and hermeneutic reading, it was found that the song Sayyidi ar-Rais describes the lamentation of a Palestinian child who tells of the suffering he and the Palestinian people are experiencing as a result of the conflict with Israel, and hopes for freedom and peace for the land of Palestine and also for its people.

Abstract

This research aims to reveal the tradition of fasting in the Qur'an at the al-Falah Kudus Islamic Boarding School. The tradition of memorizing the Qur'an cannot be separated from the practice of fasting as a form of leisure in memorizing the Qur'an. The leisure of fasting Dalā'il al-Qur'ān at the al-Falah Islamic Boarding School is carried out when the students have completed the memorization of 30 juz. In practice, this fast must be carried out with the permission of the kyai, even though the number of days is not determined. The findings presented show that the Quran has made students who memorize the Quran memorize it, not just memorize it. The Qur'an has also encouraged them to carry out other special worship activities outside of memorizing the Qur'an. This then allows the worship activity to develop from its original form. Fasting, which was originally carried out without having anything to do with the activity of memorizing the Qur'an, was then carried out within the framework of memorizing the Qur'an. Therefore, the goal to be achieved from the fast also develops. Thus, the fasting of Dalā'il al-Qur'an has made the tradition of memorizing the Qur'an influence the development of orientation and goals to be achieved through fasting.

Abstract

Al-Qur’an, besides proclaiming itself as a guide for the man (huda li al-nas), also serves as a cure or healer (shifa') against all kinds of diseases, especially spiritual conditions. In the Community of Therapy Sky Line Two With Prayer, the Qur'an serves as a medium of infertility treatment. Infertility occurs when a husband and wife do not have children, even though they are sexually active. Besides being caused by medical factors, infertility is also caused by non-medical factors, such as genie or magic disorders. This article aims to elaborate and, at the same time, prove the success of infertility treatment through the medium of Qur'anic verses carried out by Therapy Sky Line Two With Prayer. Methodologically, this article uses field research whose primary sources are obtained through observation, structured interviews, and documentation. The collected data was then analyzed using a phenomenological approach. The findings of this article show that the Qur'an can not only cure spiritual diseases but can also be used as a medium to treat infertility. This article also found that the verses of the Qur'an recited to people with infertility can make their hearts calm, more pleased with His decrees, and also more grateful for the blessings He has given. This attitude is a fundamental thing that is needed for those who have not been blessed with offspring. Hence, they feel confident that chanting the verses of the Qur'an can stimulate people with infertility and make them pregnant and have the desired offspring.

Abstract

This article aims to explain how cultural misaccommodation of rituals in local communities can occur. Bissu as a component of society comes along with negotiations to maintain the rituals and religiosity that have shaped their identity. The presence of bissu in the ritual procession is an authority that they have culturally. Throughout the history of civilisation, bissu were the main, sacred and central party in the ritual procession. However, what happened on Bone's 62nd anniversary was a moment when bissu were not involved. This article is based on data obtained from online searches. News and article searches were conducted as a basis for analysing the cultural misaccommodation of local communities. This article shows that the misaccommodation of bissu in the ritual procession is a weakening of identity and existence. The government in this case becomes the party that eliminates bissu from its roots, the dynamics of polarisation of the ruling group along with a set of laws make bissu misaccommodation a hegemony. Along with the society that places bissu as a minority party, both socially and culturally. Therefore, it is necessary to affirm the authority of bissu as a party that maintains cultural sustainability.

Abstract

This research examines the relationship between Islam as a world religion and Patuntung as a traditional religion adhered to by the Ammatoa indigenous community in Kajang, South Sulawesi. The relationship between these two religions is not only oppositional or harmonious but also dynamic and negotiating. This research uses a qualitative method with a 'New Ethnography' approach, which pays attention to three aspects: self-reflection, polyvocality, and testimony. The findings of this research show that the meeting between Islam and Patuntung produces a hybrid reality, namely Sallang, which is basically a different Islam and another Patuntung. Sallang is a new reality that emerged from the meeting between Islam and Patuntung. This is clearly seen from Ammatoa's belief that the Koran is 40 juz, 10 juz revealed in Kajang, and 30 juz revealed in Mecca. This research provides a new contribution to the study of the relationship between world religions and indigenous religions, especially in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article examines and explores the phenomenon of Sufism among Western academics and women, as well as the factors that influence it. The background to this study is the increased attention to Sufism after the events of September 11, 2001, in which Sufism was considered an alternative to overcome psychological anxiety in modern life. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors influencing the distribution of Sufism among Western academics and women, as well as to understand the role of women in the spread of Sufism. The research method used is a literature study with a descriptive analysis approach. The main finding of the study is that Sufism is considered a tolerant school and can accommodate a variety of cultures, including in the context of Western culture. The role of women in the spread of Sufism is also very important, where Sufism becomes a means to prevent moral decay and seek spiritual tranquility in the midst of spiritual pressure.

Abstract

 This article aims to explore the involvement of the Al-Qaeda network in Southeast Asia at the beginning of the 21st century. As an international terrorist organization with sufficient financial and human resources, Al-Qaeda's arrival in Southeast Asia came as a major shock to the local communities affected by it—an injustice caused by the capitalist regimes in the region. The methods used in writing this article are case studies and historical analysis. This article will provide specific examples of Al-Qaeda involvement in several countries in Southeast Asia, such as the case in Poso, Indonesia, where Al-Qaeda members Omar Bandon and Jusuf Galan from Spain provided military training and funding to militant Islamic groups in Malaysia. This article will also discuss Al-Qaeda's involvement in the Philippines, where they formed cells and networks with the Abu Sayyaf and other extreme Islamic groups. The results of this research show that the entry of the Al-Qaeda network in this area has caused terrorism problems and resulted in quite large losses in the form of property and lives. It is hoped that this article will provide new insights and policy recommendations to strengthen counterterrorism efforts in the future.

Abstract

This research examines the community's offering rituals to honor gods, ancestral spirits, and guardian spirits of sacred places. This ritual caused controversy among Muslims because it contained elements of shirk. This research aims to seek a synthesis of this controversy. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method approach with an ethnographic type. Data collection was carried out through observation and interviews. Data analysis uses interactive methods. The research results show that offering rituals can be synthesized from a religious and cultural perspective with the following conditions: 1) offering rituals are positioned as cultural events, not as offerings as in religion; 2) the meaning of the offering ritual is thanksgiving which is consumed by the community, not left to be eaten by spirits or ancestral spirits because it would be wasteful; 3) the intention of the offering ritual is only for Allah alone and is not mixed or added with other names. As in religion, the intention of sacrifice is for Allah alone, but the object (sacrificial animal) is for humans.
