Abstract

Maktab al-Islamiyah Tapanuli is the earliest formal Islamic institution in Medan, North Sumatra. It seems that this institution has not received the attention it deserves, especially for its pioneering position. This might not be soo surprising, because, in general, Islamic education in North Sumatra has not drawn the attention of researchers as much as that of neighbouring Aceh or Minangkabau. This article is an attempt to present a primary source on the topic, i.e. a short treatise entitled History of Maktab al-Islamiyah Tapanuli. This book is an academic heritage left behind by `alim-historian of Medan, Syekh Abubakar Ya?qub (d. 1982). Here, it is posthumously published so that it can be used to enhance our understanding of the history of Islamic education in North Sumatra. Although the work itself is short but it is very important, since it contains first-hand information put together by a man who took part in the series of event he recorded. This work provides primary data and notes that should be of most importance for researchers.

Abstract

Relationships between Islam and local cultures, post-coloniality, the construction of National Islams and nationalisms are extraordinarily complex. They pose complex academic, theological and political problems. This paper considers examples from the province of West Java in post-colonial Indonesia. It will be concerned with the ways in which elements of local West Javanese/Sundanese culture are rejected by Islamist nationalists but at the same time incorporated into a regional variant of the culture friendly Islam Nusantara formulated by Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in 2015. See Chamami (2015) and Woodward (2018). It also suggests that what Philosopher of Science Karl Popper termed the ?situational logic? of Islam Nusantara is based on principles that have driven the construction of what Historian Marshal Hodgson (1974) termed Islamicate Civilizations since they emerged in the sixth century. Thorough consideration of these questions requires an overarching analytic and theoretical framework. Without one, we can produce disconnected, fragmentary analyses with limited practical applications. This paper is an attempt to establish such a framework. Building on Berger?s constructivist approach to the Sociology of Religion, it draws on seemingly divergent themes in the academic discourse about religion/society/state relationships in hope that the resulting synthesis will be of greater analytic utility and practical applicability than the sum of its parts. Empirically it focuses on West Java, Sundanese culture and emergence of alternative National Islams in contemporary Indonesia. It also makes comparative references to neighbouring countries, especially Malaysia. Theoretically, it is transdisciplinary, combining approaches from Cultural Anthropology, History, Political Science and Religious Studies. Given the current state of intra-Islamic political and religious discourse, it also necessarily focuses on debates between Sufi oriented ?traditionalists? and Salafi oriented ?modernists? that have been a major feature of colonial and post-colonial Muslim discourse for more than a century. It argues that alternative National Islams are shaped by a combination of theological debates and religion/state/society dynamics.

Abstract

Cross-cultural interactions are commonplace. The fact that Javanese people are very multicultural is one of the perfect examples. The text of Babad Ngayogyakarta Hamengkubuwana IV-V records this phenomenon. The text, a copy written in 1881CE (during HB VII period), is indeed an important cultural document. Bbd.Ngy.HB IV-V contains an account of the coronation of HB IV and stories how he and his successor (HB V) governed the kingdom. A close reading of this text gives an overview of how Javanese culture coexists in harmony with Islam. Islam is seen not only as a religion but also an identity that exists within the kings. However, Javanese culture is also irrevocable for Javanese leaders. The text said that the king (when he was still a teenager) must read the Qur'an everyday. This is referred to in the text with the word ngarbi that is interpreted as Arabic and refers to an Arabic letter (referring to the Qur'an). The king not only had to study the religion but also to read Javanese literary books, namely Babad Mentawis, Serat Rama, and Astabrata, all of which provide wisdoms by giving examples of archetypal behaviors and teachings for a king. Habituation with two these pillars side by side, religion and cultural traditions, in preparing the king shows the importance of character. Religion is a pillar that must be strong within a leader?s character, but he must not abandon the local culture of high value. The combination of the two pillars becomes the ideal character of a Javanese leader.

Abstract

Over the past two decades, the trend of fatwa requests has increased. Fatwas issued by certain individuals or organizations are used as references in daily life. Likewise in Indonesia through the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) where the desire for asking fatwas is almost the same as the desire for implementing the fatwa itself. Including fatwas related to religious sects such as Ahmadiyya which are often become victims of discrimination and assault. Studies of this research focuses on texts fatwa issued by MUI on Ahmadiyya sect in 1980 and 2005. This study departs from the claims of some researchers who think that the fatwa had a strong correlation with actions and violent behavior that befell the Ahmadiyya Community. Use an anthropological linguistic approach, this study show Jemaah Ahmadiyya considers that fatwas are opinion. As usual opinion, he must be respected. Disagreement with an opinion is common. Because opinions are not binding. Such a pedestal of thinking simultaneously raises attitudes and responses that tend to appear to 'accept what we are'. However, if examined more closely, there are a number of efforts which although they are 'sporadic' and are not interpreted as a specific strategy to counter the actual heretical labelling efforts carried out by the Jemaah Ahmadiyya.

Abstract

This article focuses first on the semantic aspects, ontology, and categorization of oceanic verses as revealed and found in 42 verses in the Qur'an and then on how sea verses are selected as guidance for technological solutions. This study aims to find out the phenomenon of the ocean in the verses of the Koran by offering alternative interpretations of several problems, including; fire / energy in the ocean; two oceans that do not blend; deep darkness of the ocean; sea boundary; oceanic layers; and the abundant wealth of the sea for humanity. The study uses method of interpretation of bir rakyi or interpretation within reason using the scientific method. Modern semantic scientific methods, ontology, and the categorization of verses are used for further understanding and create a framework for further study in developing a foundation for Islamic Marine Knowledge. The results of the study indicate that the disclosure of layers in the sea water column -as mentioned in the Koran- could be a blessing for Muslims to be inspired and guided to find more discoveries and benefits of this water layer phenomenon. The findings in the analysis of these marine verses are postulated as ancient revelations to the most significant challenges of modern civilizationsuch as direct solutions to food and energy security; health & medicine; transportation and mobilization of goods; environmental management; and the birth of the new discipline of the Islamic Ocean Knowledge. There are clues in these oceanic verses about technological solutions to the existing and future humanitarian problems, which ultimately Muslims can use this as divine guidance.

Abstract

The attention of researchers about Islam to Nusantara is largely related to the transmission of Islam to Nusantara. Meanwhile, attention to the role of vernacularization of Islamic sciences by Nusantara scholars - including attention to vernacularization of interpretive science - is still limited. This paper with the vernacular concept from A.H. Johns, focused on discussing the role of Jawi Tafsir in the Islamization of Nusantara in the early phases of both the formulation of Islamic Nusantara Islam and the socio-cultural transformation of Nusantara. This article?s frame of reference is in terms of the concepts of enculturation, adoption and cultural adaptation, in which vernacularization occurs in each of these processes. Through studies on the Jawi?s vernacular interpretation, Tarjum?n al-Mustaf?d, this paper argues that in the early scientific formulation of the Nusantara Islam that transformed the socio-cultural Nusantara, the existence of the Tarjum?n al-Mustaf?d had a major role. With another Jawi commentaries, Tarjum?n al-Mustaf?d then became the Nusantara's Islamic identity and proof of Islam with the archipelago's character.

Abstract

Semiotics, which is the science of signs, has become an increasingly interesting interdisciplinary area of study. As such, semiotics can also be used as both structural and pragmatic approach for translation studies, especially for studies in which meanings are difficult to comprehend including symbolic texts. This paper aims to uncover the role of semiotics in the translation of symbolic languages, especially religious texts. The study employs descriptive qualitative method to describe and interpret the data in the form of an analysis of symbolic text translation. This is to uncover the various attitudes and perspectives about the roles of semiotic science in the translation of religious texts. The findings of this study indicate that the semiotic perspective is able to reveal the dimensions of referential or conceptual meaning of the symbols through the appearance of a supplementary component, which connects literal and figurative meanings conventionally. This effort is carried out through the use of structural semiotic analysis tools, namely by exploring the relationships between symbolic meanings, both syntagmatically and paradigmatically.

Abstract

Indonesia's education is heavily promoting education on characters. Exploring the values of character as legacy of the previous generations can be done through scriptures. Of any genres of Javanese scriptures very rich in character values is the wulang script. One of the wulang scripts found in Surakarta is Suluk Candra written by Prince Wijil Kadilangu and stored in Museum Rekso Pustaka Mangkunegaran Library . This article tries to explore the character values in it and to contextualize it with today?s education. The method used in this study is principle working of philology and interpretation of texts.. The working principle of philology aims to produce a text edition, while interpretation aims to analyze the content of the text. The results of this study are as follows. Suluk Candra is a script containing Islamic values. At least this Suluk teaches four ethics that can be contextualized with the world of education in the current 4.0 era. The ethical findings are ethics to the king/ leader/ state, ethics to teachers, ethics to fellow human beings, and ethics to oneself. In addition to values of ethics, values of character education are also found in Suluk Candra. Those character values are relevant to the present days, including love of science, logical thinking, critical, creative, innovative, religious, honest, and nationalist.
