Abstract

The phenomenon of pranks on social media has developed into a form of entertainment that is fraught with ethical and moral issues, especially when carried out without considering the psychological impact on the victims. Although it often receives positive responses from netizens, this type of content essentially indicates a tolerance for symbolic violence in the digital space. This article analyzes Abdullah Gymnastiar’s (Aa Gym) critical response to prank practices from an Islamic ethical perspective, which was uploaded to Aa Gym’s YouTube account on May 9, 2022, entitled “Celakanya Prank yang Mendzolimi Orang Lain-kajian singkat Aa Gym”, with reference to the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad about joking, particularly in Sunan Abī Dāwūd. This study uses Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis approach through three stages: (1) text analysis as a representation of something that contains a certain ideology because it wants to see how reality is formed in the text to identify lexical, sentence structure, rhetorical style, and intonation; (2) discourse practice analysis to understand the context of the production and dissemination of the message in digital media, and (3) socio-cultural practice analysis to relate the findings to Islamic ethical norms and the dynamics of online humor culture. This study explores the construction of language, moral values, and religious norms in Aa Gym’s digital dakwah content and its implications for public understanding of ethical boundaries in online humor culture. The analysis reveals that Aa Gym emphasizes the importance of responsible humor that entertains without hurting or degrading others. This study underscores the importance of ethical reflection on digital humor practices and the need to reevaluate the boundaries of decency in jokes. Thus, this article contributes to the discourse on media ethics and contemporary da‘wah, while highlighting the relevance of Islamic norms in responding to the challenges of popular culture in the digital age.

Abstract

This study explores the shift in the spirituality of the Shiddiqiyah Order towards an economic empowerment paradigm in order to address modern Islamic issues. The Order is claimed to be a reflection of the decline of Islam because it only emphasizes spirituality, while neglecting worldly affairs. The order focuses only on religious and mystical rituals. They are passive towards social problems and changes. Therefore, this study reflects the spirituality of the Shiddiqiyah Order, which makes community empowerment a means to achieve perfection before God. This effort is referred to as a shift to negotiate the concept of ijtihad in the order. This is a qualitative study, with primary data taken from interviews with members of the Shiddiqiyah Order and several mursyids. The data was then analyzed using triangulation involving authentic sources. The findings show that the metaphysical shift to the profane realm (community empowerment) is a spiritual step towards achieving peace in worshiping God. This shift is based on three basic concepts of ijtihad, namely qiyas, istihsan, and istislah, which state that the existence of the order is to provide social peace through spirituality. This process is then called the negotiation of the spirituality of the order.

Abstract

The authenticity and political interpretation of the ḥadīth al-sulṭān ẓillullāh fī al-arḍ remain contested within Islamic scholarship, particularly concerning its role in legitimizing monarchical authority. This study investigates the ḥadīth through isnād criticism, matn criticism, and historical contextualisation. Primary sources include Kitāb al-Sunnah by Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim, Tahdhīb al-Tahdhīb by Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī, Syuʿab al-Īmān by al-Bayhaqī, complemented by Kuntowijoyo’s historical methodology. The findings reveal that while some transmitters are problematic, the existence of multiple transmission chains elevates the ḥadīth to the status of ḥasan li-ghayrih. In terms of matn, its content corresponds to Qur’anic principles of justice (ʿadālah) and consultation (shūrā), framing leadership as a trust and a moral legitimacy for just rulers, rather than the sacralization of political authority. Historically, the circulation of this ḥadīth from the Umayyad and Abbasid periods to the Malay-Indonesian sultanates demonstrates its use as a political instrument to sustain authority. Theoretically, this study contributes to Islamic political thought by demonstrating that political aḥadīth function not only as normative-religious texts but also as mechanisms of legitimation and critique of power. Future research is recommended to employ comparative-historical and hermeneutical approaches to further contextualize the role of political ḥadīths in both classical Islamic governance and contemporary contexts.

Abstract

This study explores the contestation over religious authority between ulama of dayah and Salafis & Wahhabis in Meulaboh, West Aceh, highlighting the struggle for theological, cultural, and political legitimacy in the Islamic public sphere. Its primary goal is to examine how the living sunnah—the practice of sunnah intertwined with local cultural customs and the rituals of dayah—confronts the strict, text-based definition of as-sunnah promoted by Salafis and Wahhabis. Using qualitative research methods and a sociology of religion framework, this study incorporates Weberian’s authority theory and Bourdieu's habitus concept to analyze the power relations, identities, and social practices involved in the conflict. Findings reveal that this dispute is more than just an ideological or theological issue; it is a struggle for social, symbolic, and political-economic dominance, as seen in cases like Masjid Jabir al-Ka'by and local religious rituals along the west coast of Aceh. This study underscores that the contestation of the sunnah is not merely a religious debate but a social dynamic that shapes who has the authority to define authentic Islam, preserve local identity, and control the religious public sphere.

Abstract

The schism within the Islamic community reached its zenith following the Battle of Ṣiffīn, when the process of Taḥkīm, intended to alleviate the conflict between Ali ibn Abi Talib and Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan, instead incited theological divisions. This research focuses on how Taḥkīm transformed the dispute from practical politics into doctrinal debate, giving rise to various sectarian movements. This study aims to critically and historically examine the role of Taḥkīm in the emergence of sects such as the Khawārij, Shīʿah, Murjiʾah, and other theological factions. The methodology employed is a literature review, analysing classical documents and contemporary academic literature that discuss the socio-political context, the arbitration process, and the responses of various groups following Taḥkīm. The findings indicate that this arbitration not only resolved military disputes but also served as a catalyst for the formation of a fragmented Islamic intellectual structure. The implications of this study underscore the importance of re-reading the history of internal Islamic conflict in an objective and inclusive manner, enabling the community to learn from past experiences, maintain unity, and avoid the politicisation of religion that could undermine brotherhood.

Abstract

This article examines the transformation and digital adaptation of Jama‘ah Tabligh in the digital era, with a focus on the negotiation and reconfiguration of ritual communication in online spaces. The central issue addressed is the tension between the group’s traditional reliance on khuruj (missionary journeys) and face-to-face interactions, and the adoption of digital platforms that redefine authority and identity. This study employs a qualitative approach by analysing digital proselytizing content, observing practices on platforms such as YouTube, WhatsApp, and Instagram, conducting a critical review of relevant secondary literature, and carrying out in-depth interviews with selected members of Jama‘ah Tabligh. Indonesia is taken as the primary context of analysis while incorporating transnational dimensions to situate local practices within global networks. The findings indicate that digitalization has fostered more personal, visual, and participatory forms of religious expression, while simultaneously contributing to identity fragmentation and a redistribution of authority from seniority-based hierarchy to algorithmic visibility. Ritual communication, which was previously centered in markaz and physical khuruj, has expanded to include digital sermons, podcasts, and visual quotations, generating hybrid forms of piety that combine the values of Jama‘ah Tabligh with the logic of social media. This shift not only demonstrates resilience and adaptation but also raises epistemological challenges, including the risks of oversimplification, exclusion, and debates over authenticity. The article concludes that digitalization is not merely a means of disseminating proselytizing content but also reconstructs the structures of piety, authority, and collective identity in contemporary Islam in Indonesia. The implications extend to debates on digital religion and the sociology of transnational Islam, highlighting how non-political movements such as Jama‘ah Tabligh recalibrate their spiritual mission within the global network society.
