Abstract

This article examines the role of Islamic communication and da‘wah in fostering digital resilience among Muslim millennials in Southeast Asia. In an increasingly fast-paced, fragmented, and polarized digital environment, Islamic preaching faces both ethical challenges and transformative opportunities. Employing a qualitative approach based on literature analysis and conceptual reflection on empirical studies of Islamic communication and digital religiosity, this article explores patterns of da‘wah that contribute to self-control, ethical media engagement, and constructive communicative relations. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of digital da‘wah is not determined by the intensity of normative messaging, but by the quality of dialogical relationships established between preachers and audiences. Dialogical approaches enable da‘wah to function as ethical accompaniment rather than moral control. Core principles of Islamic communication—qaulan ma‘rūfan, qaulan layyinan, and qaulan sadīdan—serve as normative anchors that prevent da‘wah from being absorbed into the logic of virality and digital exclusivism. Furthermore, Qur’anic concepts such as taqwā, tabayyūn, and self-control provide a relevant ethical framework for strengthening digital resilience. This study contributes to Islamic communication scholarship by integrating dialogical da‘wah and Qur’anic ethics within contemporary digital contexts.

Abstract

Orientalist scholarship on the Qur’an has significantly shaped global academic and socio-religious discourse through its epistemic assumptions, theological frameworks, and comparative methodologies. This article investigates dominant epistemic motives underlying orientalist approaches to the Qur’an and analyzes how such motives operate within broader knowledge–power relations. Employing qualitative library research and content analysis within a sociology of knowledge framework, this study examines key orientalist works and maps their recurring argumentative structures. The findings reveal three central epistemic tendencies: (1) delegitimizing the Qur’an as divine revelation, (2) constructing negative assessments of the Prophet Muhammad, and (3) positioning the Qur’an as a derivative text of Jewish–Christian traditions. These discursive tendencies are embedded within Western theological, historical, and colonial contexts that privilege Judeo-Christian epistemic norms as benchmarks for evaluating Islamic revelation. The article further highlights contemporary Muslim scholarly responses—particularly within the Asia–Pacific region—that challenge orientalist paradigms through postcolonial critique, interdisciplinary hermeneutics, and socio-religious renewal in Islamic higher education. This study contributes to ongoing debates on religion and society by framing orientalist Qur’anic studies not merely as textual critique, but as socio-epistemic discourse with implications for Muslim identity, scholarship, and interreligious relations in the Asia–Pacific context.

Abstract

Interreligious relations in Indonesia are often framed through narratives of harmony or overt conflict, while the dynamics of symbolic conflict embedded in everyday social life tend to be overlooked. This article aims to analyze how symbolic interreligious conflicts in Indonesia are mediated and transformed through culturally grounded local intelligence and everyday social practices. Employing a qualitative approach based on literature analysis and conceptual reflection on a range of empirical studies on religious conflict and coexistence in Indonesia, this article examines the forms of symbolic conflict that emerge in ritual contestations, struggles over public space, and the negotiation of religious identities, as well as the cultural mechanisms through which communities mitigate these tensions. The findings demonstrate that interreligious conflict in Indonesia is more frequently manifested as symbolic conflict rather than open physical violence, and that local communities do not rely solely on formal regulations or state intervention in managing such tensions. Instead, they activate forms of local intelligence rooted in local wisdom, everyday social relations, and historical experiences of coexistence. These practices reflect an implicit and contextual form of praxis-based dialogue, functioning as mechanisms of conflict transformation that shift symbolic tensions toward cultural collaboration.

Abstract

This article examines Adeeb Khalid’s Islam after Communism: Religion and Politics in Central Asia as a theoretical contribution to the study of religion and politics, rather than merely a regional account of post-Soviet Islam. Challenging dominant narratives of Islamic revival and radicalization, Khalid emphasizes the importance of historicizing Islam by foregrounding the legacies of Soviet secularism and postsocialist governance. Through a qualitative and interpretive reading of Khalid’s work, this article argues that Islam in Central Asia has been reconfigured as national heritage, bureaucratized through state control, and securitized within authoritarian political frameworks. These processes have reshaped Muslim subjectivities and politicized everyday religious practices from above, driven largely by state anxiety rather than popular mobilization. By highlighting continuity rather than rupture in state–religion relations, the article complicates liberal assumptions about secularization and religious freedom in post-authoritarian contexts. It concludes that Khalid’s insistence on historicity offers a transferable analytical framework for understanding religion in post-imperial and postsocialist societies beyond Central Asia.
