Abstract

At the beginning of the 20th century, when the modernism of Islam was strengthened in Minangkabau, many academics viewed the Kaum Mudo movement paradoxically. On the one hand, it was considered to be progress-oriented by negotiating and accommodating adat, and as such, the followers were referred to as reformers. Conversely, the movement was seen as opposing and eliminating against the elemental integration of local cultures or adat and modern ideas into Islam. Hence, the supporters were also referred to as puritans. This article employed Stella Ting-Toomeys’s identity negotiation theory, which refers to ethnic or traditional and religious identities as primary. Consequently, it was concluded that the Kaum Mudo Islamic reform movement in Minangkabau was rooted in religious customs and traditions and not purification. Furthermore, it was observed in several cases, such as the contests and fights for mutual influence by the existing social groups. It was also seen in the ethnic backgrounds of each character at times when attitudes, which give room for negotiations, are required. Meanwhile, the existing madrasa reform models negotiated between the traditional surau system and the modern Dutch school have displayed this movement. Finally, the existence of a synthesis of adat with Islam and modernity in Minangkabau, which are engaged in mutual negotiations, was also seen.

Abstract

This article seeks to reveal Kiai Muchith Muzadi’s thought on the Islamic nationalism in Indonesia. It deals with a number of issues such as state form, the meaning of politics within nation-state life, and the relation of Islam and Pancasila. The article also attempts to answer problematic discourse on contemporary Islam which, within recent decades, (re)rises the principles of nationalism into public discussion. Muchith argues that Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia (NKRI/The Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia) has been an ultimate state form for the Indonesian people. Therefore, this is a duty for the Indonesian Muslims, as Indonesia’s majority inhabitant, to actively take a role and involve themselves in guarding Indonesia and its unity. Muchith also sees no relevant necessary to replace the state form with other systems such as khil?fah and Islamic state. To him, politics is a mere means to fight for interests carried out with Islamic principles coupled with nationalism values in order to establish national integration and achieve the shared ideals. Muchith maintains that Pancasila along with its values is compatible with Islam and this is why the Indonesian Muslims should accept it as the state ideology.

Abstract

This paper attempts to study the scholars’ network of Mandailing and Haramayn Ulama in the mid-19th and early 20th centuries. By employing the content analysis method, it was discovered that the Mandailing scholars had made intellectual encounters with those in Haramayn, and some even established networks with the Egyptians and Indians. The Mandailing scholars connote those that ethnically originated from the Mandailing clan, and data reveals that they come from Tapanuli and East Sumatera residencies, both of which are parts of the modern era North Sumatera province. This information does deny that some of these scholars were born in Makkah. During the duration evaluated by the study, it was observed that some scholars studied religion intensively and settled in Makkah, while others only learned Islam by meeting the scholars in this region during the Hajj period. The last group of scholars studied religion intensely in Nusantara, but while performing hajj, they met the scholars and learned Islam in a very limited time. Mandailing scholars studied Islamic sciences, especially Quranic exegeses, hadīth, and Sufism, and taught them to several scholars from Arab and Nusantara. These scholars include Ahmad Khatib al-Minangkabawi, ‘Abd al-Qadir b. Shabir al-Mandili (Nasution), and Hasan Masysyath. Ideologically, they studied Islamic sciences in the context of the Sunnī school of thought, especially Ash‘ariyya and Shāfi‘iyya.

Abstract

Muhammadiyah strives to make a positive contribution to the progress of Indonesia. In the first century of the advent, this organization focused on advancing education, health, and compensation to the du‘af?’. Meanwhile, it issued an important point, which emphasized the minority groups through the 47th Congress in Makassar held in 2015. Hence, this article examines several issues concerning the views that underlie young Muhammadiyah intellectuals in voicing partiality towards the religious minority. It also analyzes the role or form of alignments and the implications of these views on thought upheavals within Muhammadiyah internally and nationally. The study discovered that the young intellectuals play a pivotal role in fighting for the basic rights of the religious minority, which continues to face the complicated problem of citizenship. Subsequently, this data has been focused on advocacy and intellectual works, including a literature review of attitude statements, published books, journals, research reports, and opinions in the national mainstream and alternative media.

Abstract

Many studies on pesantren in Indonesia emphasize more on the aspect of this establishment as the oldest Islamic educational institution in the archipelago only, instead of other aspects related to this type of school. Recently, a growing number of studies have shifted their topic into one particular focus, which is radicalism or Islamism in pesantren. Consequently, this paper aims to examine the responses of pesantren teachers and students to the term ‘Islamism’. The study was conducted at Pesantren Mawaridussalam, an Islamic boarding school located in Batang Kuis village, Deli Serdang, which is in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Specifically, the responses of teachers and students to the issue of the Islamic state were elaborated. The study also focused on shariazation, which seeks to make Islam the state law, as well as democracy, and jihād, which is a struggle or fight against the enemies of Islam the religion. The findings of this study indicate that the teachers and students had varied understandings of Islamism as some argued that the term was close to Islamists, while others believed that it was identical. Despite the different understandings, most of them rejected the use of violence in fighting for the ideals of Islam.

Abstract

The study of radicalism among students of the State Institute of Islamic Studies (IAIN), Surakarta, showed a significant increase within the recent decade. Hence, this article attempts to analyze the level of moderate understanding of these students with a survey that involved 100 persons. The past educational background of each student was deeply explored to figure out the basics of their religious understanding. Meanwhile, qualitative and quantitative designs were employed to measure their understanding of moderate Islam. The results of the study showed that the students of IAIN Surakarta had a moderate understanding of Islamic teachings, according to an outcome of 87%. The high value was because the majority of the respondents had graduated from madrasah and pesantren, which had strongly emphasized cultivating moderate religious doctrines. This outcome was different from that of general high school graduate students, where they learned the doctrines from Rohani Islam or Rohis. Also, it was discovered that the Rohis commonly hold radical and intolerant religious doctrines. This is understandable as this community tends to understand Islamic doctrines textually, scripturally, and differently from the teachings promulgated by pesantren and madrasa.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the phenomenon of combative jihadism domination and the associated conditioning factors. Also, it evaluates the possibility of jihād’s dominant concept being paralleled to the Western concept of ‘just war.’ It can be argued that Islam normatively recognizes two forms of jihād, namely the greater form, which is for self-purification and improvement, as well as the lesser jihād for combative war. Although the combative meaning has historically dominated the contemporary discourse of jihād, it has been conditioned by several factors. These factors include the growth of the radical Islamism ideology, Western hegemonic behavior, globalization, and the absence of alternative narratives. Furthermore, it was discovered that the dominant concept of jihād in a legalistic view, is relatively similar to the Western concept of ‘just war,’ which in reality tends to be illegal or “breaks the law.” It also discusses the normative and historical meanings of jihād, the factors that conditioned the domination of combative jihadism, and the concept of ‘just war’.

Abstract

The Kurds are an ethnic group that has experienced significant friction with other countries, such as Persia, Arabia, the Mongols, and Turkey. However, the Kurds and the Ottoman Empire have established completely distinct relations, including the mutual attraction of the Islamic Faith, school of thought, and the problem of nationalism. Although Islam does not discern according to the ethnicity people belong to, it is a devotion that distinguishes their degree before God. Therefore, this article attempts to examine how the Kurds have been able to survive under the auspices of the Ottoman Empire, which was formerly considered as a substitute for the previous Islamic caliphate that ruled based on shari‘a. The study discovered that the political and legal transformation in the body of the Ottoman Empire made the Kurds extremely depressed and agitated. This brought about the rise of their nationalism and intention to establish an independent state. Unfortunately, it was difficult to realize since the region’s map is shaped by the winning countries of World War I, which did not recognize the so-called Kurdistan State. Also, the surrounding countries, such as Turkey, Iran, Syria, and Iraq, did not want to lose their territory.

Abstract

In Indonesia, tariqa has become a choice to counter and fight against the radical groups that target youngsters as prey. An obvious example is the organization of Mahasiswa Ahlith Thariqah Al Mu‘tabarah An Nahdliyyah (MATAN). By employing the phenomenological approach, this study considered MATAN as a Muslim youth organization that strongly emphasizes radicalism and positivism among youngsters, especially college students. Also, it maintained that MATAN has strived to synergize intellectuality and spirituality among the students, with claims of loyalty to the preservation of moderate, tolerant, inclusive, and consistent Islam. This preservation concerns sharī‘ah, ḥaqīqah, and ma‘rifah, and simultaneously maintains awareness as an integral part of Indonesian people living in the country. Therefore, they must obey the country’s rules imbued with Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. These points can inspire every activity of the members of MATAN to actively promote and engage themselves in de-radicalization efforts. Meanwhile, the findings confirmed several studies and surveys conducted in Morocco, Algeria, and Mali, asserting that the tariqa has become a new fondness and is believed to be a savior of youngsters from religious extremism.

Abstract

The Faculty of Ushuluddin and Dakwah State Institute of Islamic Studies Kediri is facing many challenges, one of which is related to the number of students, as it currently seems to be less interesting and irrelevant to the work field. Moreover, the Islamic Studies provided seems to be supplying insufficient capability for graduates compared with the pesantren alumni. Based on this statement, this paper seeks to find some proper solutions to suggest. This study examined the documents of this faculty, specifically related to the curriculum, and also interviewed the stakeholders. It was concluded that to maintain and develop the faculty’s existence, some changes were necessary. These solutions include strengthening the integration within Islamic studies by using a practical theology approach in teaching and learning, as well as continuously developing the ability of students to attain a higher order of thinking. The third solution was to give special attention to the pesantren-based primary Islamic literature, which was mostly delivered in Arabic, along with strengthening the students’ ability in understanding the language.
