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 article examines the genealogy of wasaá¹­iyya Islam in Indonesia. Historical processes of Islamization in the pre-Indonesia context have influenced how the Muslim majority of Indonesia demonstrates its moderate expression from historical periods to contemporary situations. The establishment of the Indonesian state has the heredity derivation from the past Islamization. The role of Sufism in the processes of Islamization is addressed here. Ash’arism or Aswaja paved the theological way for wasaá¹­iyya by choosing a position of moderation between rationalist and conservative extremist schools of thought. On a deeper level, this article concludes that the Sufi foundations of the early Islamization period are essential for establishing wasaá¹­iyya in Indonesia. When Pancasila, as the nation-state philosophy, incorporates cultural elements acknowledged by Muslim Ulama, it is evident that any attempt to undermine or pervert wasaá¹­iyya Islam in Indonesia will finally fail. This research applied qualitative methodology with an exploratory research design. The data were collected using literature studies from books, journals, and related articles.

Abstract

This article discusses the fatwa of a JāwÄ« or Malay-Indonesian archipelago ulama who taught in Mecca in the early twentieth century, Sheikh Ahmad Khatib Minangkabau (1860-1916). He was issuing fatwa on heterodox sufism in the archipelago. His fatwa is written in a manuscript from Ogan Komering Ilir entitled Fatwa Sheikh Aḥmad Khaá¹­Ä«b al-MinangkabāwÄ« (DS 0003 00018). The manuscript has been digitized by DREAMSEA in 2019. This manuscript was probably written when he became a lecturer in Mecca between 1887-1914. It contains questions and answers about the existence of the name Muhammad and rūḥ al-quds (holy spirit) in the human heart that commands the body. Using a social history approach, this study shows that the Fatwa manuscript shows the response of JāwÄ« ulama who were increasingly influenced by the teachings of Islamic reformism. Ahmad Khatib stated that it was impossible for the spirit of Muhammad and rūḥ al-quds to exist in the body. For him, Muhammad is a human being and the holy spirit is Gabriel, an angel. He stated that whoever believes that both Muhammad and Gabriel are in his/her body is wrong and misguided, and if he/she believes that they are eternal, then he/she is a disbeliever. Ahmad Khatib’s fatwa indicate an attempt to purge the heterodoxy of sufism continually by SunnÄ« ulama in the early twentieth century.

Abstract

The Islamic conquest of Constantinople in the 14th century is a captivating historical episode in history that continues to intrigue historians. It stands out due to the involvement of two major world religions - Islam and Christianity. Furthermore, this conquest marked the end of the Roman civilization. One notable aspect of this conquest was the harmonious relationship between Muslims and Christians, which persisted before and after the event. This study aims to explore the implementation of religious moderation in Constantinople to resolve political conflicts. Adopting a historical methodology, the research collects data through extensive documentation and literature studies, employing a socio-political approach. The findings highlight that religious moderation played a crucial role in conflict resolution during the 14th century in Constantinople. The concept of religious moderation was not only applied before the conquest, but also after it. Before the conquest, the value of moderation was demonstrated through peaceful negotiations between the Islamic kingdom and the Catholic prelate in Rome. Several treaties were agreed upon, emphasizing the importance of faith and peaceful dialogue over resorting to military confrontation. Following the conquest, Sultan Muhammad al-Fatih exemplified religious moderation by engaging in negotiations with the inhabitants of Hagia Sophia. They agreed an agreement allowing Christians to continue practicing their faith despite being under Islamic rule. Additionally, al-Fatih displayed respectful treatment towards the prelate and Christian warlords, further exemplifying the value of moderation. The findings of this study shed light on the significance of religious moderation in resolving conflicts and offer a fascinating insight into the history of Constantinople during this period

Abstract

The phenomenon of non-Muslim Chinese women being elected as regional leaders in Indonesia is considered unusual, especially when elected amid a predominantly Muslim population and the strengthening of Islamist movements in national politics. This article, therefore, analyses the representation and capabilities of non-Muslim Chinese women as regional heads in Singkawang City, Indonesia, from 2017 to 2022. In the Indonesian context, we refer to this case as a “triple minority.” The research used a socio-legal approach involving data condensation, data display, and conclusion/verification stages. The findings of this study indicate that the representation and capabilities of non-Muslim Chinese women as regional heads in Singkawang City from 2017 to 2022 align with the principles of constitutional politics (siyasah dusturiyah) and Indonesian laws. Non-Muslim Chinese women elected as regional heads of Singkawang City, despite being in a Muslim-majority environment, have succeeded in making Singkawang City the top-ranked Tolerant City in Indonesia.
