Abstract

This research investigates the usage of the terms Allah, Al-Ilah, and Allahumma in the Christian-Muslim Middle Eastern context before the 9th century AD. The aim of this study is to trace the historical development and theological implications of these terms within Arabic-speaking Christian and Muslim communities. The research method employed is a literature review, focusing on historical documents and inscriptions. The findings reveal that these terms were used in both religious traditions, indicating a shared linguistic and cultural heritage. Generalising these unique terms across both religions has been a major source of misunderstanding. This discussion remains relevant, not only in the context of Christian and Islamic religious language but also in the general use of Arabic within churches that use the Arabic language today, such as the Syrian and Coptic Churches in the Middle East. This article elucidates that Arab Christian communities are considered a missing link between the Christian and Islamic worlds. The research shows that the same ritual words—Allah, Al-Ilah, and Allahumma—were used before the advent of Islam. Through these Arab Christian communities, various points of contact and examples of tolerance and understanding can be clearly developed. This study contributes to a foundational theological understanding shared between Christianity and Islam, fostering interfaith dialogue and mutual respect.

Abstract

This study investigates how the Towani Tolotang people express their religious and social values through traditional and special rituals related to their economy. This qualitative research utilises a phenomenological approach through observations, interviews, and literature studies. The findings reveal that the rituals performed by the Towani Tolotang community, such as Molalaleng, Mappaenre Inanre, Sipulung, and Mattampung, aim to obtain protection, happiness, and economic strength. These rituals involve offerings to Dēwata SeuwaE and are crucial in maintaining unity, harmony, and economic stability within the community. Through these rituals, which involve the use of new clothes and other economic activities, a significant contribution to the local economy is evident. The cultural identity displayed by the Towani Tolotang community encompasses positive values such as mutual respect, simplicity, and self-worth, which strengthen the nation's character and promote social harmony. This study contributes to understanding the socio-economic impact of traditional rituals and highlights the role of cultural practices in promoting economic resilience and social cohesion.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze cultural greetings based on the linguistic structures of the Wemale and Alune tribes in Maluku. This qualitative research employs an ethnographic approach and was conducted across eight sub-districts in Western Seram Regency, Maluku Province. Data collection methods included observation, interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). Data analysis followed Spradley's model, which comprises four phases: domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, componential analysis, and cultural theme analysis. The study identified 20 traditional greetings from the indigenous peoples in the Western Seram Regency. Ten of these greetings were recommended for official use, and six were selected as the primary cultural greetings based on the linguistic structures of the Wemale and Alune tribes. These greetings are Ho Salamate, Sou Salamate, Tabea Salamate, Mese, Upu Ana, and Sopai. This research contributes to the preservation and revitalization of the Wemale and Alune languages by proposing standardized cultural greetings that reflect the linguistic and cultural heritage of these tribes. The findings also support the integration of these greetings into local education curricula to promote cultural sustainability.

Abstract

The location, acceptance, and tolerance of religious education in public spaces have been fiercely debated since South Africa’s democratic transition in 1994. As a result, South Africa’s constitution now guarantees religious freedom in all public places, including educational institutions. The primary question is, however, how much do these public universities’ theological and religious faculties guarantee that all religious or faith traditions have equal access to their curricula? Simply put, this article examines the theological and religious education programs at universities such as the University of the Free State (UFS), North-West University (NWU), Stellenbosch University (SU), and University of Pretoria (UP) and asks whether they promote justice to the extent that they incorporate all faith traditions into their curricula. Given this, the paper posits that the majority of religious communities are not sufficiently represented in the curricula of South African public universities’ theological and religious faculties. It then advocates, as a practical measure, the establishment of the theological-religious ombudsman to guarantee that students of all faiths have equitable access to theological and religious curricula at South African public universities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the indigenous women's movement to protect nature using the perspective of religious ecofeminism. The Indigenous People Alliance of Indonesia (Aliansi Masyarakat Adat Nusantara-AMAN) documented 13 cases of indigenous territory seizure, affecting 103,717 indigenous people and 251 hectares of indigenous territories. Consequently, the patterns of indigenous knowledge related to spirituality, as lived by indigenous women, prompt them to respond to the exploitation of nature. This research seeks to confirm the basic thesis of ecofeminism that links the domination of women and nature. The study employs qualitative methods, utilising text data from online media such as Twitter. The selection of data sources is based on the role of online media as a space for the representation of indigenous women and indigenous peoples. The main findings indicate that indigenous women have successfully positioned themselves at the forefront of nature protection through their movements. The indigenous women's movement to protect nature exemplifies a relationship based on indigenous understanding and knowledge, which is inseparable from the interpretation of nature itself. Equally important, the response of indigenous women reflects the interpretation of humans and nature as interdependent entities that provide sustenance, a concept known as religious ecofeminism. This concept embodies a cultural and religious understanding of the cosmology of life. The study contributes to raising awareness of the critical role of indigenous women in environmental conservation and demonstrates that their movements are grounded in religious ecofeminism values.

Abstract

This article examines how Barasuara's composition "Hagia" contributes to promoting religious tolerance and orientational pluralism in Indonesia, aiming to comprehend the manifestation of these concepts within the musical piece. The study uses qualitative methods and Heim's theoretical frameworks to show that the lyrics of "Hagia" show a diverse and pluralistic ethos by focusing on a number of different points of view and themes that help create an environment where religious tolerance can thrive. The study results indicate that cultivating a pluralistic understanding through music can foster acceptance and inclusivity among individuals of different religious backgrounds. Furthermore, the article argues that the influence of religion may vary between younger and older individuals. "Hagia" transcends relativism by advocating for active consideration and recognition of others' beliefs, thereby suggesting that a pluralistic understanding can aid individuals in becoming more accepting and inclusive of their religion as well as others, or what can be called religious tolerance. This study contributes to a more nuanced comprehension of societal responsibilities in fostering a more inclusive and tolerant society. It facilitates a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter at hand.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the transformation of ngaji practices among Generation X audiences, specifically followers of Gus Baha, from virtual to conventional formats. The rapid development of the internet and social media has significantly influenced religious practices, including the proliferation of virtual ngaji. However, despite the convenience of digital platforms, conventional ngaji remains prevalent. This research employs fieldwork and qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews and observations, to investigate why individuals prefer attending traditional ngaji sessions despite the availability of virtual alternatives. The study finds that the cultural concepts of baraka (blessing) and sanad (chain of transmission) are crucial motivators for followers to seek in-person ngaji. Additionally, the research identifies the dual impact of unintended online ngaji—while it extends the reach of Gus Baha’s teachings and bolsters his religious authority, it also poses risks due to the potential for misinterpretation and unauthorized dissemination of content. This study contributes to understanding the dynamics between digital and conventional religious practices and highlights the enduring significance of direct spiritual engagement in contemporary Muslim communities.
