Abstract

This study uses the concept of religious moderation to analyze the perceptions of traditional community leaders in Lake Toba Caldera, North Sumatra on halal tourism. Toba, Samosir, Humbang Hasundutan, and Dairi are Christian-majority regions designated as priority tourist destinations by the government, with a focus on halal tourism. A qualitative method was used in this study, with interviews with traditional leaders as the primary source, supplemented by interviews with tourists and business actors, as well as observations and literature reviews. The findings, analyzed through the concept of religious moderation, revealed three perspectives on halal tourism: the first group saw it as a form of Islamization, the second had only a vague idea, and the third rejected the term itself due to its discriminatory connotations. Overall, the traditional leaders accepted halal tourism as a service for Muslim tourists but were not comfortable with the term ‘halal tourism’. This study highlights the importance of religious moderation values, with tolerance and national commitment emerging as the key indicators of religious moderation in the region.

Abstract

The narratives of peace, humanity, and religious freedom have become central to public discourse, particularly in promoting inclusive Islamic theology within Muslim communities across ASEAN countries, e.g. Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines. This discourse unfolds in various public spaces: government institutions, religious organizations, educational settings, and places of worship. It reflects a dynamic religious contestation, driven by organic intellectuals who engage through institutional channels and humanistic awareness. This article seeks to explore the religious discourse surrounding the productive contestation of inclusive Islamic theology and to analyze how this discourse is disseminated among Muslim scholars in Southeast Asia. A qualitative research method was employed, involving observations and interviews with influential Muslim scholars from academic, governmental, and religious organizations. The focus was on understanding how individuals are shaped by the policies and ideas they advocate. Interviews provided insights from academics and religious activists (referred to as Muslim scholars) on the issue of inclusive Islamic theology. The analysis draws on contestation theory to examine the arena of religious narratives in the public sphere. Findings indicate that the discourse surrounding inclusive Islamic theology in Southeast Asia varies by country, with each nation adapting it to its unique cultural and social landscape. In Indonesia, for example, the discourse is often more inclusive and culturally grounded, while in other countries, it may take a more structural approach. Despite these variations, Southeast Asian Muslim scholars broadly agree on the importance of promoting inclusive Islamic theology drawing upon religious teachings, state policies, and societal characteristics as key considerations.

Abstract

Tri Hita Karana (THK) is a fundamental principle of Hindu philosophy, particularly influential in Bali that emphasizes harmony in three interrelated realms: with the divine (Parahyangan), with fellow human beings (Pawongan), and with nature (Palemaha). This balance has fostered social cohesion within Hindu communities, promoted environmental stewardship, and served as a broader model for societal harmony and sustainability. While rooted in Hinduism, THK resonates with universal values that transcend religious boundaries. However, as Muslims seek to adopt practices inspired by THK, theological differences may arise, particularly regarding acts of worship. This study explores the compatibility of THK with Islamic teachings, particularly in the areas of social and environmental ethics, drawing on the work of scholars such as Mutawalli Sha‘rawi. Both Islam and Hinduism emphasize obedience to God, human welfare, and environmental responsibility. However, differences in worship must be respected. Muslims can embrace THK’s principles of social and environmental responsibility within the permissible framework of Islamic doctrine while avoiding practices associated with Parahyangan. This approach promotes interfaith understanding while enabling collective efforts toward social harmony and environmental stewardship.

Abstract

This article explores the experience of cultivating religious senses and sensibilities through ritual Sufi dance. In contemporary Indonesia, Sufi dance serves both as a performance and a ritual. As a performance, it is staged at specific events; as a ritual, it acts as a religious practice, engaging the body and fostering a connection with God to experience spiritual ecstasy. Employing a phenomenological approach, the research data were gathered through interviews, participant observation, and social media. This article focuses on the Tari Sufi Mafia Sholawat group, the predominant Sufi dance community in Java, and illustrates how sound and listening during Sufi dance rituals significantly nurture and enhance religious sensibility and the affective body. Furthermore, it identifies various sounds present in the Sufi dance performance that resonate with listeners’ senses and sensibilities. These sounds evoke a range of bodily actions and emotional responses from the performers, such as hand movements, closed eyes, weeping, and screaming. The dancers perform these movements within a sacred space, thereby amplifying their spiritual impact.

Abstract

Puritan Muslims disapprove of the syncretic architecture of the Menara Kudus Mosque; however, the early Muslim saints spreading Islam in Java adopted this Hindu-Buddhist architectural style as a sign of cultural acceptance and continuity. This study aims to explore the symbolic meanings of the syncretic architecture of the Menara Kudus Mosque built by Sunan Kudus. This qualitative study employs the symbolic interaction theory of Joel M. Charon and George Ritzer, supplemented by the comparative method to unveil the similarities and differences in functions and structures between the Menara Kudus Mosque and Hindu-Buddhist temples and their inherent symbolism can be understood. The study found that Sunan Kudus chose this unique architectural style to promote inclusive and tolerant behavior through a theological-imaginative dialogue process to create social harmony. Such an attitude reflects Sufistic tawḥīd teachings combined with a deep understanding and respect for the local cultures.

Abstract

This study examines the religious perspectives on the Ahmadiyya movement in East Sumatra in the early twentieth century. The primary research questions are: What was the official stand of the ‘ulamā’ of the Ahmadiyya movement in East Sumatra? What were the epistemological foundations of their views? To date, there has been no specific research on this topic. Thus, this study aims to provide a historical, sociological, and philosophical review of the rejection of the Ahmadiyya movement that emerged in East Sumatra in the 1930s. This is a library research study employing historical, sociological, and philosophical approaches. Al-Jabiri’s epistemological framework is utilized as a tool to analyze this research topic. The study reveals that the ‘ulamā’ in East Sumatra, particularly Tengkoe Fachroeddin and the Committee for the Eradication of Ahmadiyya Qadiyani Beliefs, concluded that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and his followers were apostates and infidels. In constructing their knowledge about the Ahmadiyya, they employed rational epistemology. This study argues that the rejection by scholars in East Sumatra is based on rational arguments in reference to the religious sciences they studied. This approach has negative implications as it facilitated the emergence of religious attitudes that are dogmatic, defensive, apologetic, and polemical.

Abstract

The formulation of the Five Pillars of Islam, widely accepted by the majority of Muslims, is not upheld by the Rifa‘iyah sect, who claim that there is only one such pillar. This obvious divergence from the majority view is strongly opposed by the leading religious organizations and has soured the social interactions between Rifa‘iyah and non-Rifa‘iyah communities in Indonesia. This article aims to understand: (1) the nature of the controversy surrounding the single pillar of Islam in Rifa‘iyah belief; (2) the factors that provoke this controversy; (3) the social impact of this controversy on Indonesian society. This research employs a qualitative methodology, with primary data sourced from the writings of Kiai Ahmad Rifa‘i and interviews with several Rifa‘iyah clerics. Findings show the difference is nominal, with faith testimony as the core and others as complements. However, misinterpretations and prejudices have fueled hidden conflicts between Rifa‘iyah and non-Rifa‘iyah communities. This study highlights the value of intellectual diversity in Islamic scholarship and provides practical recommendations to reduce social tensions, including promoting interfaith dialogue, integrating diverse theological perspectives into education, and fostering collaborative community activities. It fosters a more tolerant understanding of Islam in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article aims to describe the shifting role of women in Muslim Salafist communities in Indonesia. Stereotyped as being oppressed, unrepresented, and not allowed to participate in the public sphere, the Salafi women are not expected to play an active role in their movement. Constructed on a literary study, this study finds that the female members of the Salafist movement can exercise some level of agency within the framework of structural conditions and are aware of their role. Salafist women in Indonesia are determined to play an active role in society and pursue their higher education, thus preparing them to serve as agents in the movement’s da‘wah activities. Although the women’s role is confined to activities within their community, they help recruit new female members and maintain the movement’s social networks.

Abstract

This article re-examines Javanese Sufism through the lenses of hierarchy, determinism, and free will, adding an explicit economic-political dimension often absent from earlier studies. Drawing on participant observations in three pesantren, semi-structured interviews, and textual analysis of classical and Javanese scholarship, the analysis showed how charismatic teachers and guides converted spiritual authority into material patronage networks, while disciples negotiated between Jabarī rhetoric and pragmatic agency. Two ideal types emerged: an ascetic current that framed free will as self-discipline and distance from power and a common, devotional current that sacralized the submission of the self through collective dhikr and pilgrimage economies. These two approaches can explain Sufism’s success in spreading Islam in Java and its current traction among economically marginal groups. By linking doctrinal debate with money flow, the study extends current scholarship on religion and social change and provides a framework for assessing governance and accountability in Sufi institutions. Sufi institutions are advised to adopt transparent budget disclosure and participatory decision-making so that charismatic authority is balanced by measurable good governance safeguards.

Abstract

The relationship between sex, gender, and sexual orientation—particularly within Islamic contexts—presents complex global challenges. In many Western societies, confusion between biological sex and socially constructed gender has led to identity conflicts. Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) identities are based on sexual orientation, while transgender identities focus on gender, often intersecting with diverse sexual preferences. This overlap complicates the understanding of gender dysphoria and creates tensions between transgender individuals and the broader LGB community. Iran offers a distinct approach by classifying transgender identity as a psychological condition, separate from LGB identities. This perspective underscores how cultural and psychological frameworks shape societal attitudes toward gender variance. By analyzing literature, official documents, and media, this study explores the evolution of LGB and transgender identities in Iran and the West. Despite differing cultural norms, both contexts often blur the boundaries between biology and culture, leading to persistent misconceptions and exclusion. The study highlights the need to question prevailing social norms and calls for further qualitative research, especially on the post-transition experiences of Iranian transgender individuals, to inform more inclusive and culturally aware global policies.
