This paper aims to explain a theoretical concept of al-haml ?ala al-ma?na or muru?at al-ma?na to evidence a correlation between meanings and texts. It states that text should be inferior to the meaning. Based on our inquiry, verbs should be formed in the feminine (mu?annath) in two situations: first, if verbs consist of ism zahir (visible noun), mu?annath haqiqi (actual feminine), and no texts are bridging the verb. Second, if verbs consist of ism mustatir (invisible noun) with which the subject (fa?il) is in actual feminine or allegorical feminine (mu?annath majazi). Thus, the masculine or feminine form should be based on their respective meaning. The careless interpretation in constructing meaning may lead to an error understanding, which is contrary to its original meaning. To avoid this, some approaches are needed, such as semantics, ma?ani, siyaq al-kalam, and asbab al-nuzul.

In most of her works, Mernissi tried to portray that religious teachings could be easily manipulated. Mernissi, therefore also believe that the oppression of women is a kind of tradition that made-up and not from Islamic teachings. So she was very brave and not afraid to unload a tradition that is considered as sacred by the community over the years. She also draws attention to the concept of hijab. Hijab is very dominant theme in the Mernissi’s intellectual career. It is because that matter affect herself and her families, and of course other Muslim families. Hijab, which is an instrument restriction, segregation and exclusion of women from public space, according to Mernissi is the dominant form of religious understanding (dominated by men). By doing interpretations of al-Qur'an and the Hadith, historical research and sociological analysis, Mernissi strives to dismantle this understanding, and then provide an alternative interpretation. Therefore, this article attempts to describe Fatima Mernissi’s view on Islam and democracy, compared with other perspectives of Moslem intellectual. This article does not only elucidate the connection between Islam and democracy but also scrutinize the essential meaning of democracy and how historical Islam practically deals with the issue of democracy. There are three models of connectivity between Islam and democracy. First, symbiotic-mutualistic: there is no separation between Islam and democracy. Second, there is no connection between both. Third, connection with notes and critics

Religious phenomenon is a universal symptom, unique and full of mystery. Its existence was always traced from prehistoric until modern times. The fact that religious society has been confronted to a collective consciousness, structural adjustment and cultural understanding of religion is a must. Therefore, religion should not be placed in a subordinate position that associated with social, cultural, economic and politic development. This should be understood as an effort to look back the diversity of public religions. Various religious existences are studied and reviewed holistically with studying their function and relation to other cultural aspects. Religious existence symptoms were assessed with anthropological approach and its unity with other cultural aspects. Anthropology aims to appreciate symbols, norms and society prevailing systems. Religion is a cultural phenomenon. In other word, as a social science, anthropology does not discuss the “actual religion” or sacred dogma. The center of attention is human activity as a cultural phenomenon. This requirement can be interpreted as a response of religious society to the changes that occur rapidly. Religious studies through a more anthropological approach can describe the role of human / religious community in action, so that religion is defined as part of lives (culture) of individuals or groups, which each adherent has authority in understanding the religion and apply it.

Talking about Javanese culture, anthropologist will often refer to Geertz’s thesis of santri-abangan-priyayi. Geertz’s book, Religion of Java, has been a “holy book” for those who concerns for observing and researching Javanese culture and society. In this context, Geertz has acknowledged a theory of social system of Javanese people. In his another book, Interpretation of Culture, Geertz identifies culture based on the last-concept of Kluckholn. He sets culture as a text which has to be meaningfully interpreted, not only as a concrete manner. In addition, he sets religion as cultural values within is embodied within the meanings. Everyone can interpret and experience those meanings in his own approach. Since Geertz conducted a study on The Religion of Java, the study continues, either agree or disagree with him. This article deliberately take the starting point of Geertz’s studies related to the concept of trichotomies; students, abangan and priyanyi. Although this has led to the concept of trichotomies to pros and cons among scientists, but the thing that needs to be underlined is that Geertz's conception of Islam of Java are a source of inspiration for the study of Islam in Indonesia. In addition, this article not only discusses about Geertz’s concept of religion, but also the concept of Islamic Religion in Indonesia.

It is an interesting to see how religious pluralism thrives and well applied in Indonesia. One plus point for such matter is as a response toward inter-religious tolerance in Indonesia in the latest period. Nurcholish Madjid is one of Muslim intellectualist who gives declarations on the religious pluralism concept in Indonesia. He is also known as the one who brings pluralism in observing issues relating to inter-religious relationship. His perspective of pluralism is wrapped in the context of Islamism, Indonesianism and modernism which is very interesting to review it. For one case, he takes into account religious pluralism based on Islamic point of view which is full of egalitarianism, opened and just. The idea of Nurcholish Madjid’s pluralism focuses on tawh}îd, in the context of philological and historical subject. It is to openly differentiate between the realm of God and the reality of mankind. Philological perspective comes from the process of redefining meaning of Islâm in Arabic language as “surrender” and “submission”, while the historical perspective comes with a number of facts in the history of religious plurality. This basic idea will initiate religious relativism, religious similarity, and religious freedom. Madjid’s idea allows Islam to view other religions and religious diversities. It is a universal vision: from exclusivism to inclusivism. Madjid’s opinion could be seen as intellectual concern to the realm of religious life. This article attempts to explore Madjid’s idea on religious pluralism

As an intellectual Muslim, Abdullah Saeed obviously concerns to contemporary issues of Islam. He attempts to contextualize Islamic values based on faith that Islamic doctrine is shâlih li kulli zamân wa makân. This attempt appears, for instance, on his views relating to the concept of riddah (apostasy) and human rights. Saeed offers what he names as progressive-ijtihadits methodology: a method to re-interpret religious texts based on necessities of contemporary people. Bids progressive-ijtihadist methodology is still facing many obstacles, but should be used as an alternative and a way out. The biggest challenge is the internal constraints, such as unpreparedness of Muslims themselves for the brave dissent, the pleasure of the culture of blaming each other (takfîr), and a cynical view of some groups of Muslims who consider this method as a deviation from the original Islamic teachings. Saeed uses historical analysis to observe and set the concept of riddah as a sin not as crime. By using historical analysis, he said, we can examine the concept due to scientific approach: centripetal and centrifugal. Therefore, the concept of riddah consists of both ontological and existential problems.

To know the origin of the Jews cannot be separated from the historical existence of Abraham because he was an ancestor of the three monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). There are two nations that claim to be the descendants of Abraham: The Jews and the Arabs. The Jews passed down through the line of Prophet Ishâq, then down to the Prophet Ya’qûb that holds Israel (servants of God) so that the prophets who were ethnic Jews call themselves as Israelites, descendants of Israel. This article does not only discuss the origin of the historical roots of Jewish groups, but also explain about another issue that is often become the object of intellectual discourse about Jews that could be classified as religion or merely ethnic. Indeed, on the face can be drawn that they are religious communities (Jews as a religion), but many think not. In fact, most of them prefer to call themselves Jews (ethnic) not Judaism. Jewish religion can we categorize as the ethical religion and not a mystical religion. It is caused the Jewish religion always uphold ethics. These ethical principles are formulated in the ten commandments (al-Was}âyâ al-Ashr). in addition, this paper also discusses the displacement of the Jewish people from one place to another

Antonio Gramsci’s idea of organic intellectuals that dedicate their life to improve social life has been actually inherited within Indonesian Muslim intellectuals. The main characteristic of them is not conceptualizing and publishing their own interest in the context of academic field, but expressing and advocating social aims. This article attempts to capture Indonesian organic intellectual movement was fashioned from the era of HOS Cokroaminoto in colonial era until the existence of Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in the present time. The history of Indonesia has witnessed that such movement has actively promoted social purposes and aspirations. Although, in its progress, organic intellectual movement is always challenged by the regime (policy oriented studies), it always comes with its own academic-emancipatory explanation for social problems. After Reformation Era, the goal of this movement focuses on advocating society against global capitalism which is expressed in—for example—World Trade Organization (WTC) and Multi-National Corporation (MNC). Another finding of this paper is that there are many NGOs in Indonesia based on Islamic values although their activists do not work on the name of Islam. The reason behind this view is that because all Muslim activists work on religious normative exercise social, economic, political, cultural, environment problems.

Agama memang menjadi salah satu isu sensitif yang berkembang subur dalam tatanan sosial masyarakat tertentu. Peran agama di ranah sosial hingga kini masih terus diperdebatkan. Sebagian meyakini bahwa agama tidak memiliki peran signifikan dalam membangun kehidupan sosial, sementara sebagian lain percaya bahwa (nilai-nilai) agama berperan besar dalam membangun tatanan sosial ke arah yang lebih baik. Sebuah hal yang menarik jika melihat peran agama dalam ranah sosial. Sering kali perdebatan muncul oleh karena hal semacam itu. Bagi yang pertama, agama jelas identik dengan moralitas yang mana sangat jelas terlihat dari ajaran-ajaran agama itu sendiri. Bagi yang kedua, menjadi suatu pengetahuan umum bahwa agama dari segi ajarannya sangat berpengaruh besar dalam tatanan sosial dalam bermasyarakat. Oleh karena itu, perihal perspektif yang pertama (agama identik dengan moralitas), keyakinan tersebut memunculkan tesis lain yang berseberangan yaitu tidak beragama berarti tidak bermoral. Kedua tesis ini identik, saling berkorelasi, meski tidak sama. Artikel ini berupaya mendiskusikan keraguan-keraguan bahwa agama tidak memiliki peran dalam membangun moralitas sosial. Tentu saja artikel ini tidak akan mempertanyakan akan pentingnya nilai-nilai agama dalam kehidupan sosial, melainkan berangkat dari sebuah hipotesis bahwa bermoral atau tidaknya seseorang (manusia) tidak hanya berpijak pada ajaran-ajaran suatu agama. Itu berarti bahwa yang tidak beragama tidak secara langsung berarti tidak bermoral

Western thoughts have discredited Islamic teaching. Orientalism never gives up in spreading issues in relation with their objectives in distancing Muslim from Islam. The idea of orientalism becomes a point of discussion that appears as opposition of Islam in many ways. Unfortunately, this kind of situation has not been realized by most Muslim in Indonesia that is contemporarily bothered by their debated teaching of Islam which comes from orientalist ideas in order to disintegrate Islam. For instance, is the orientalism in Indonesia. The history of orientalism in Indonesia becomes unforgettable part of Indonesia colonialism. It was known that the orientalist activities have supplied many objectives for the colonialism, especially in Aceh Darussalam. Hurgronje analyzed and observed that the struggle from the Acehness will be suppressed by the politics of split within the local leader between Ulama (religious leader) and Uleebalang (formal leader). This paper aims to explore the activities of Christian Snouck Hurgronje in relation with his effort in helping colonial to disintegrate Indonesia people. His mission is to crack the principal sources of Islam: Qur’an and Hadith by pretending to be a Muslim and went to Mecca for learning Islam. But his affiliation to Islam is only a mask to cover his actual purposes as a missionary.
