Abstract

Despite the popular recognition of Indonesian Islam as being accommodative and moderate, there is a more conservative trend noticeable in the social and political sphere. Alerted by this recent development, the Ministry of Religious Affairs formulated the policy of religious moderation, which has drawn the attention of academicians. This research aims to gauge the level of religious moderation among lecturers of State Islamic Higher Education Institutions in Indonesia and its contributing factors. Specifically, this study attempts to examine whether variables of interreligious interaction, university policy, and socio-cultural context significantly influence the construction of religious moderation. It used a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative approaches with convergent parallel design. The quantitative approach applied a survey method using a questionnaire involving 272 lecturers at twelve institutions selected through multistage systematic sampling, while the qualitative approach used a focus group discussion technique to the management of the Religious Moderation House in 10 universities. The research revealed that the average level of religious moderation is moderate. The variables that significantly influenced religious moderation were university policies and sociocultural context, while the interreligious interaction variable had no significant effect. More complex variables need to be considered in future research.

Abstract

In the twentieth century, Islam faced various ideological challenges, among them being socialism. There are claims that socialism is more consistent with Islamic values than other ideologies like capitalism. One prominent Muslim thinker of this group is Mustafa al-Siba‘i whose attempted to combine Islamic principles with those of socialism. This research examines his idea of Islamic socialism, his criticism of communism-Marxism, and the typology and contextualization of his thought. It uses a literary and historical approach, collecting data from al-Siba‘i’s works and historical analysis to achieve a more in-depth understanding of the main concepts in al-Siba‘i’s thought on Islamic socialism. The main concept of Islamic socialism is social solidarity, rooted in Islamic teachings and emphasizing the importance of social justice and shared prosperity. Al-Siba‘i criticized socialism-Marxism and capitalism as man-made and, therefore, imperfect systems that are fraught with fatal errors, while offering Islam as an alternative. He asserts that the principles of Islam based on the Qur’ān, hadith, and ijtihād provide a solid foundation for socialism in its original sense. As such, al-Siba‘i’s approach attempts to contextualize socialism within an Islamic framework, creating a unique view of how Islamic principles can be applied in the context of socialism.

Abstract

This article discusses the implementation and problems of integration of science and religion in Madurese Islamic boarding schools and Islamic education institutions in Selangor, Malaysia. The development of a modern Muslim society requires Islamic education institutions to reform and actualize their syllabus. Using a phenomenological approach, the study data were collected through interviews, observations, and online materials. The main research samples are IISM School Gombak, Al Hamra Integrated School, Akademi Tahfiz Al-Hidayah in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Pondok Pesantren Al Amien Prenduan in Sumenep, Pondok Pesantren Annuqayah Sumenep, and Pondok Pesantren Darul Ulum Banyuanyar Pamekasan in Madura, Indonesia. It was found that the Islamic boarding schools in Madura implement adoptive-adaptive formal integration where some parts of the education subsystem are carried out separately, while the Islamic schools in Selangor follow a holistic approach. Both systems attempt to offer an inclusive syllabus; however, the integration of science in Madurese pesantren leans more towards constructive integration with concurrent traditionalist elements, while Islamic schools in Selangor have adopted a more modern and progressive syllabus.
Ruling on Theology through the Shari‘a: Modern Approaches of Qur’an Interpretation and the Classical Universal Law of God’s Transcendence Dhuhri, Saifuddin; Rijal, Syamsul

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to evaluate fatwa on the Wahhabite interpretation of the ambiguous verses in the Qur’an given in 2014. Classical Muslim scholars respected the intellectual freedom of the other theological schools as long as their interpretations did not attribute human characteristics to God. However, this intellectual tolerance is not demonstrated by the Ulama Council in Aceh, Indonesia today, which only accepts their interpretation of the Qur’an. Rival interpretations propagated by other ideological groups, such as the Wahhabites, are ruled as blasphemous and deserve public outcries of condemnation. It seems that the Ulama Council in Aceh has instrumentalized the Shari‘a to suppress any ideas that are not in line with the Ash‘arite creed, even though there are other legitimate schools and approaches. Any group that promotes a different view is now liable to public condemnation.

Abstract

This study aims to highlight the significance of Ahmad Hasyim Muzadi’s thoughts on civil tolerance, arguing that his paradigm can be used in conflict resolution. It explores the significance of Muzadi’s ideas in the context of Indonesia’s religious diversity, employing a qualitative approach through textual analysis. The findings revealed that Muzadi pioneered the concept of civil tolerance—a nuanced, humanized type of religious coexistence and mutual respect that goes beyond surface-level acceptance. Civil tolerance places a premium on the human experience and the defense of human rights while acknowledging the values inherent in all religious teachings. Muzadi’s four-dimensional concept of civil tolerance involves respecting diversity, acknowledging religious values, understanding human rights, and making collaborative efforts to build a more harmonious society. This research contributes to the discourse by presenting insights into how accepting such a nuanced form of tolerance can address existing problems as well as set the groundwork for a more inclusive society.

Abstract

The scholarship on the last days (ākhir al-zamān) has predominantly centered around religious and historical texts, leaving out the rich mystical sources within Shia culture. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating Islamic mysticism from the second to the tenth century AH, written in Persian and Arabic. By delving into these mystical writings, this research intends to shed light on the transformative impact of discussions in the last days and the way mystics approached this subject. The overlooked evolution of these writings remains significant for grasping the continued relevance of discussions on the last days in contemporary Shia society and other religions. The research suggests that discussions surrounding the concept of the last days have been a source of considerable debate among mystics dating back to the first mystical tradition, with these interpretations often incorporating elements from several religions, becoming more intricate in subsequent periods, and influencing Shia culture today.

Abstract

This study explores the ontology of dhunnya in Madurese culture, encompassing its interpretations as treasure, the mortal world, and the worldly realm within the framework of intentionality-equilibrium. The concept of dhunnya is inherently directed towards achieving socio-religious balance, which serves as a fundamental guiding principle for the Madurese, both within their homeland and in diasporic contexts. This concept underpins the mindset, attitudes, and behaviors of the Madurese people, who place significant emphasis on spiritual and religious dimensions. This study adopts a hermeneutic-philosophical approach, concluding that the harmony and disharmony of dhunnya are reflected in the balance between rights to property, altruism, and transient worldly adornments. Moreover, this balance is oriented towards fostering ethnic solidarity and strengthening the kiai-santri relationship. The eclectic model of dhunnya ontology is reconstructed through an analysis of socio-religious practices, including koloman, haul, tahlilan, molodhen, funeral rites, and studio-based education. These practices are particularly relevant to the integration of spiritual-religious and spiritual-economic aspects among Madurese migrants in Malaysia. This finding underscores the critical role of socio-religious principles in maintaining the harmony of Madurese life in diaspora contexts.

Abstract

The higher objectives of the Sharia provide a legal framework within Islamic law to guide independent reasoning in interpreting legal issues based on rational principles. However, knowledge can also be obtained through unveiling. Ibn ‘Arabi argued that intellectual activities without spiritual experience are like spiritual perceptions without intellectual support. His analysis involved a systematic and rigorous approach to understanding and interpreting Islamic law through philosophical, linguistic, and historical contextualization. Ibn ‘Arabi relied on inner knowledge when examining legal issues and performed a type of spiritual ijtihād, but he did not disregard the role of traditional scholarship in Islamic jurisprudence. This balanced approach highlights the integration of rational and spiritual dimensions in legal reasoning, emphasizing the importance of both intellectual and spiritual insights in the interpretation of Islamic law. By combining these elements, Ibn ‘Arabi’s methodology offers a comprehensive understanding of legal issues, ensuring that interpretations are both deeply rooted in traditional scholarship and enriched by personal spiritual experiences. This dual approach underscores the dynamic and multifaceted nature of Islamic jurisprudence, where rational analysis and spiritual insight work together to achieve a holistic understanding of the law.

Abstract

This paper aims to explore Muhammadiyah’s engagement with Islamic discourse on Sufism, neo-Sufism, and reform. Muhammadiyah appears to adopt a rather critical stance toward Sufism. This qualitative research study employs a combination of discourse analysis and hermeneutics to outline the organization’s perspective on Islamic spiritualism as a discursive phenomenon. This perspective is analyzed interpretively and enriched by scholarly sources, including its ideological framework, the ideas of its leaders, and its socio-cultural context. We find that Muhammadiyah, which espouses a Salafist-leaning ideology primarily opposed to superstition and heresy, does not reject Sufism outright. We argue that the organization’s reluctance to embrace organized Sufism as a modern Islamic expression aims to prevent misunderstanding among its Muslim constituency, while selectively incorporating discursive elements that align with Shari‘ah and modernity. Consequently, Muhammadiyah is more inclined to accept ideas associated with neo-Sufism. This study acknowledges the possibility of a conceptual reconstruction of thought around textualist and conservative ideas that should not be labeled as anti-Sufi.

Abstract

This article examines Muhammad Abduh's role in utilizing Sufism to build spiritual consciousness amid significant social changes in Egypt in the late 19th century. The main issue discussed was how Abduh combined the teachings of Sufism with social reform in the context of modernity, which is increasingly developing due to the influence of European colonialism and modernization pioneered by Muhammad Ali Pasha. This study explores how Abduh positioned Sufism as a moral tool supporting social reform. The method used is text analysis of Abduh's works and relevant secondary literature studies. The main findings show that Abduh has successfully integrated the spiritual dimension of Sufism with the demands of modernity, making Sufism a pillar to strengthen public morality and support harmonious social change. This article strongly recommends that further studies be conducted to understand how Abduh's approach to Sufism can be applied in contemporary social contexts that face similar challenges, as this could provide valuable insights for addressing current societal issues.
