Abstract

Barikan has a religious dimension worthy of exploration. It is a Javanese cultural practice that integrates Islamic values such as gratitude, charity, and brotherhood into social life. This tradition reflects the concepts of the Living Quran and Living Hadith, where the teachings of the Quran and the Prophet’s Sunnah are manifested in collective rituals that strengthen social solidarity and religious identity. Using a qualitative approach based on ethnographic methods, this research was conducted through participatory observation and in-depth interviews in a village in East Java where this tradition is practiced. The findings reveal that the Barikan tradition is a medium for praying for ancestors and an educational platform for Islamic values such as gratitude, cooperation, and generosity. In addition to fostering ukhuwwah Islamiyah (Islamic brotherhood), this tradition also functions as a tool for social unification and a reinforcement of local Islamic identity. By uncovering the religious values embedded in the Barikan tradition, this study highlights the importance of cultural and religious acculturation in maintaining social harmony.

Abstract

This article aims to describe and discuss (1) the phenomenon of religious extremism on the campus and (2) institutional responses of the state Islamic higher education to it in the form of (3) strengthening religious moderation through the revitalization of Ma‘had al-Jami‘ah (Pesantren of University). With a case study research design and the religious moderation concept of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia as a theoretical framework, this study found relatively the same facts about the phenomenon of religious extremism in the three state Islamic universities. Their institutional responses also tend to be similar; they rely on the belief that religious extremism harms the spirit of Islam’s raḥmatan li al-'ālamīn and the movement of extreme religious elements has threatened the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. The biggest difference is the way the three campuses foster moderate religiosity of students through the revitalization of Ma‘had al-Jami‘ah. However, the various strengthening strategies they do are relatively in line with the strategy of strengthening religious moderation of the Ministry and therefore have productive values for the national program. These results contribute to enriching the discourse on religious extremism and can also be used as a reference for state Islamic universities in strengthening the early warning system, especially through the revitalization of Ma‘had al-Jami‘ah.

Abstract

This study investigates the persistence of JiLu, a Javanese customary prohibition against marriage between the first and third-born children of different families, as practised in Blembem Village, Ponorogo. Although JiLu lacks a formal legal or religious foundation, it continues to function as a binding social norm upheld through oral tradition, communal belief systems, and social sanctions. Employing a socio-legal approach, the research integrates qualitative data from in-depth interviews with traditional elders, affected couples, and local stakeholders, alongside a review of relevant literature. Berger and Luckmann’s theory of social construction—comprising the processes of externalization, objectification, and internalization—provides the theoretical framework to analyze how JiLu is maintained and reproduced. The findings reveal that JiLu operates as a symbolic system that regulates social behaviour, particularly in marital decisions, through emotional reinforcement and the fear of spiritual or social consequences. However, the norm’s authority is increasingly questioned by younger generations exposed to formal education, religious reinterpretation, and modern legal rationality. This generational shift highlights a growing tension between the preservation of collective cultural identity and the assertion of personal autonomy. The study demonstrates how customary norms can either adapt or erode when confronted with changing societal values, contributing to broader discussions on the dynamics of tradition, law, and individual rights in contemporary rural Indonesia.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has led to the practice of content monetisation on social media such as YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook, which has become a new source of income for individuals. From the perspective of maqāṣid sharī'ah, according to Abdul Majid al-Najjar, this phenomenon can be considered valid if it is in line with the five main principles, namely protecting religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn), soul (ḥifẓ al-nafs), intellect (ḥifẓ al-'aql), offspring (ḥifẓ al-nasl), and property (ḥifẓ al-māl). This research uses a qualitative-descriptive analytical approach by examining the social media accounts of Indonesian digital creators such as Atta Halilintar, Ria Ricis, and Jerome Polin and strengthening the findings with fiqh literature, fatwas of scholars, and digital economy regulations. The analysis shows that content monetisation is sharia-compliant if the content produced does not violate religious teachings (ḥifẓ al-dīn), does not feature violence or exploitation (ḥifẓ al-nafs), encourages education and the use of reason (ḥifẓ al-'aql), maintains norms of decency and family honour (ḥifẓ al-nasl), and obtains halal, transparent, and free from elements of gharar, usury, and maisir (ḥifẓ al-māl). Thus, content monetisation is acceptable within the framework of maqāṣid sharī'ah as long as it meets the established ethical and legal criteria.

Abstract

This study aims to explain the existence of border community harmony in multicultural and religious social interactions. The border areas of Aceh and North Sumatra in this mountainous community are known to have ethnic and cultural diversity that influences the social dynamics and religiosity of the local community. This study uses a qualitative approach through participatory observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The study results indicate that socio-religious harmony in this area is realized through religious moderation values, which are indicated by tolerance of religious communities, positive dialogue between religious communities, and respect for local traditions. Religious figures, community leaders, and educational institutions are important in educating and advocating for an understanding of religious harmony.

Abstract

This study aims to highlight the impact of qirāʾah on Islamic law. This study also explains Ibn Ḥayyān's interpretation in interpreting the verse on usury so that it has an impact on Islamic law. This research is descriptive-analytic research using a literature study. This study describes the interpretation put forward by Abū Ḥayyān, which is then analysed by using qirāʾāt shādhdzah in interpreting legal verses, which is devoted to the verse that discusses usury. The findings of this study indicate that Abū Ḥayyān's interpretation of QS. al-Baqarah: 279-280 emphasises the compatibility between one verse and another, by understanding the causes of the revelation of the verse, and referring to the principle of al-ʿibrah bi-ʿumūm al-lafẓi lā bi-khuṣūṣ as-sabab. Differences in qirāʾah enrich the understanding of the verse linguistically. This study concludes that qirāʾāt shādhdhah can be used to support or strengthen legal understanding, thus adding depth to linguistic legal interpretation.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the phenomenon of transformation and hybridity practices in Islamic philanthropic institutions in Indonesia by carrying out research at the Pos Keadilan Peduli Umat (PKPU) from 2001 to 2023. This research employs a qualitative method, utilizing in-depth interview methods, observation, and institutional document analysis. The theoretical approach employed is the hybridity of Homi K. Bhabha, which is moderately helpful in explaining how Islamic philanthropic institutions have a role between two poles of values, namely normative Islamic values and global humanitarian values. This theoretical research also uses Marie Juul Petersen's institutional criticism model  to comprehend institutional integration, differentiation, and dynamics. The results of this research indicate that PKPU fundamentally changed its institution into the Human Initiative (HI) to take advantage of the global humanitarian market, expand humanitarian work, and manage institutions in the style of Western management by renegotiating its institutional identity while remaining spiritual but professional, Islamic but universal and able to connect to the global community. The PKPU also established two institutions, the Indonesian Zakat Initiative (IZI) and the Waqf Initiative (IWakaf), to focus on developing the potential of zakat and waqf for Muslims in Indonesia. The changes in PKPU show a dynamic, synergistic, and adaptive institutional development model to extend the market and innovation that continues to grow in humanitarian and development contributions.

Abstract

Following the dissolution of the Ottoman dynasty in 1924, Turkey experienced profound political transformations. Transitioning from a monarchy under the Ottoman Empire to a republican system under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the country embraced secularism as a foundational principle. This article explores the political rhetoric of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the current President of Turkey, who has revived the concept of Neo-Ottomanism to shape Turkey's developmental trajectory and regional ambitions. By analyzing political statements, policy documents, and public discourses, this study investigates how Erdogan's administration employed Neo-Ottomanism not only to evoke a nostalgic vision of the Ottoman Empire’s grandeur but also as a strategic framework for asserting Turkey's regional influence and political dominance. The article argues that Neo-Ottomanism is a symbolic tool for national identity construction and a practical instrument for projecting geopolitical power.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Sufistic multicultural da'wah in shaping the moderate character of the millennial Muslim generation during the challenges of the digital era. Using a qualitative research method based on literature studies, this study explores the Sufistic da'wah approach that emphasizes the value of spirituality and appreciation for diversity. Data is collected from relevant academic literature and analyzed systematically to identify da'wah's challenges in the era of information technology globalization. The results of the study show that Sufistic multicultural da'wah can provide strategic solutions in dealing with the issue of intolerance and radicalism through internalizing the values of moderation, social harmony, and local wisdom. This finding emphasizes the importance of Sufistic da'wah in building a generation of Ull Albab who not only understand moderate Islamic values but are also able to contribute to the harmony of a multicultural society. Future research recommendations include the development of a multicultural da'wah model based on the participation of the millennial generation, as well as the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Sufistic approach in the context of a multicultural society.
