Abstract

This study explores local politics in Madura, Indonesia, dur­ing the early years of regional autonomy following the fall of the New Order, a period marked by the rise of civilian elites in positions previ­ously dominated by the military. It focuses on two influential local actors—kiai (Islamic religious leaders) and blater (local strongmen)—and examines their role in shaping regional elections (Pilkada) in Bangkalan. The research aims to understand community perceptions of these elites’ involvement and its implications for democratization. Adopting a qualitative, descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews and documentation, involving kiai, blater, commu­nity leaders, party figures, academics, cultural figures, and residents from both urban and rural areas. The study draws on the theoretical frameworks of interest groups and democratization. Findings indicate that Kiai engage in politics by running for office, endorsing candidates, campaigning, and issuing religious guidance to mobilize followers, while blater employ intimidation and coercion to influence voting be­havior. Although both elites are central to local elections, their partic­ipation does not advance substantive democracy; instead, it constrains political choice and undermines citizens’ autonomy. The study argues that the entanglement of religious authority and local power structures in Bangkalan illustrates a complex pattern of elite influence, highlight­ing the challenges of achieving genuine democratization in post-re­form Indonesian regions.

Abstract

This article examines the process of Islamization and its impact on the socio-economic transformation of the community in Onderafdeeling Manna, Bencoolen or Bengkulu Residency, during the Dutch colonial period, spanning from 1824 to 1942. The primary objective of this study is to identify the early figures who disseminated Islam in the region and analyse how Islamic teachings influenced the lifestyle of the local community. Using historical methods through the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, this study finds that Islam entered the Manna region around the 1880s through the preaching of Shaykh Muhammad Amin from Nias Island. Islamic activities developed through the establishment of large mosques, such as Al-Manar, the formation of Islamic organisations like Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama, and the growth of Sufi orders in the post-independence period. This process also encouraged changes in the community’s economic behaviour, primarily through shifts in trade ethics, increased cooperation in agriculture, and the development of waqf and zakāh-based initiatives. These findings demonstrate that Islam serves not only as a religion but also as a social and cultural force capable of transforming society’s structure in a peaceful and sustainable manner.

Abstract

The 1997 National Conference of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Scholars in Lombok issued a groundbreaking fatwā permitting women to hold the position of vice president—a progressive step in advanc­ing gender justice within Islamic discourse. However, at the grassroots level, gender segregation remains deeply entrenched, particularly in Sumenep Regency. This study explores how NU feminists in Su­menep negotiate their struggle for gender equality and how local kiai and religious scholars respond to these efforts. Employing a qualita­tive approach with data collected through literature review, observa­tion, interviews, and documentation, this research is framed by Is­lamic feminist theory. The findings reveal that gender discourse in NU Sumenep remains weak when confronted with the religious authority of kiai and traditional scholars. Their ambivalent and skeptical re­sponses toward gender equality activism indicate that the discourse promoted by the NU Central Board (PBNU) has not been effectively internalized at the local level. Furthermore, the absence of pesantren-based initiatives on gender awareness perpetuates gender segregation, resulting in unequal competencies and opportunities between male and female students. This study highlights the gap between NU’s pro­gressive theological discourse and its limited cultural translation among rural communities.

Abstract

his study explores how Minangkabau literary and cultural elements shaped Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah’s Tafsīr al-Azhar, particularly in the interpretation of al-Baqarah. Employing qualitative content analysis combined with Norman Fairclough’s critical dis­course framework, the research examines the interplay between text production, reception, and socio-cultural context in Hamka’s exeget­ical method. The findings reveal that literary device—such as pantun, proverbs, metaphors, and maxims—serve as key interpretive tools, enriching the text’s aesthetic and cultural resonance. Equally signifi­cant are the Minangkabau influences, including local language, social traditions, and political references, which root Qur’anic interpretation in lived experience. This synthesis demonstrates Hamka’s capacity to integrate Islamic revelation with the cultural-linguistic heritage of the Malay-Indonesian world. The study argues that Tafsīr al-Azhar trans­cends local boundaries, positioning itself within the global discourse of modern Qur’anic exegesis. Hamka’s approach bridges classical in­terpretive traditions and contemporary cultural realities, highlighting the importance of contextual hermeneutics in making the Qur’an ac­cessible across diverse communities. Ultimately, the study offers a model for culturally grounded tafsīr and provides a foundation for comparative analysis with other modern commentators.

Abstract

This study explores how sacred Qur’anic manuscripts in Madura, Indonesia, are embedded in local mythological narratives and transformed into cultural and economic resources. Although these manuscripts are preserved as religious artifacts, they also function as “living texts” that circulate meaning and power within spiritual, cul­tural, and touristic contexts. The research aims to examine how local myths surrounding these manuscripts mediate between faith, author­ity, and contemporary cultural tourism. Using a qualitative approach that includes participant observation and semi-structured interviews with manuscript custodians, religious leaders, and visitors, the study analyzes how stories of miraculous origins—such as manuscripts writ­ten in one night or underwater—shape public perception and enhance symbolic value. The findings reveal that these narratives serve not only as expressions of belief but also as strategies of cultural preser­vation and commodification, turning sacred texts into heritage objects that attract visitors and generate community pride. The study contrib­utes to a broader understanding of how religious heritage in Muslim societies is continually reinterpreted through narrative, economy, and local identity.

Abstract

This study analyzes the Mappano Bine tradition in Bone Regency as a communicative practice that integrates local wisdom, Islamic values, and ecological ethics. Drawing on a qualitative design with interviews, non-participant observation, and document analysis, the research examines how environmental communication is enacted through ritual performances, symbolic expressions, and collective practices. The findings indicate that Mappano Bine extends beyond agricultural celebration; it serves as a communicative act that weaves Islamic spirituality prayer, gratitude, and communal responsibility into indigenous ritual forms. These practices generate ecological consciousness and transmit environmental ethics across generations through oral narratives, ritual symbols, and communal participation. The study advances the field of environmental communication by framing Mappano Bine as a hybrid communicative model where religious and indigenous values converge to promote ecological harmony and cultural continuity. While challenges such as modernization and youth disengagement persist, the contribution lies in positioning ritual as an analytical lens for understanding the intersection of faith, culture, and ecological communication.

Abstract

This study investigates the political dynamics of pesantren alumni from three influential pesantrens in East Java’s region: Pesantren Nurul Jadid Probolinggo, Pesantren Sidogiri Pasuruan, and Pesantren Salafiyah Syafi’iyah Situbondo, with fieldwork conducted in Bondowoso and Jember. Focusing on the 2024 presidential election, this research explores two key issues: the emergence of polarization among alumni groups and their adoption of political marketing strat­egies. Using a qualitative approach, the study finds that polarization intensified in line with divergent political preferences among the founding families of the parent pesantren. This division occurred not only across alumni networks of different pesantren origins but also within alumni of the same alma mater. The findings also show that each alumni group employed political marketing principles, combin­ing push and pull strategies, to mobilize support and strengthen voter engagement for their preferred presidential candidate.
