Pilgrimage studies is multidisciplinary studies in religious studies involving many perspectives and approaches in the social sciences. Therefore, it cannot be separated from the development of other studies, particularly tourism studies that leads to the current study on religious tourism. This article is a literature review generally tracing the development of theoretical tendencies of the pilgrimage studies. Based on an understanding of some theoretical tendencies, this article attempts to look at and examine the emerging trends in the study of saint’s pilgrimage in Indonesia, as one of the variants in pilgrimage studies. The study attempts to scrutiny (1) the dominant theories of the pilgrimage studies, (2) the study of saint’s pilgrimage in Indonesia, continued with (3) what aspects relate to the study of saint’s pilgrimage, and (4) which are the focus of discussions that still need to be discussed and explored relating to the study of saint’s pilgrimage in Indonesia. The results show that the pilgrimage studies experience recent theoretical developments and trends that emphasize postmodern reasoning, which makes pilgrimage studies vary with a great influence on the study of pilgrimage to the tourism studies.

This article is aimed to assess the progress of Islamic and religious studies at State Islamic University (UIN) Sunan Ampel Surabaya throughout the view of new paradigm on Islamic studies. It attempts to seek whether there is a shifting paradigm from parochial Islamic studies to dialogical Islamic studies that could accommodate contemporary social scientific instruments. It is based on one core question, “is the Islamic studies at UIN Sunan Ampel—especially the Department of Comparative Study of Religions—still based on normative-doctrinal studies or based on historical critics?” This paper took four undergraduate theses as a sample, starting from 2011 back to forty years before. Each thesis represents one-decade period. In order to analyze religious studies at the Department of Comparative Study of Religions will be a strategic stage to observe methodological perspective, namely insider-outsider perspective. Having examined all of these theses, this article concludes that Islamic religious studies at the Department of Comparative Study of Religions have not changed at all. It shows signs of stagnating after four decade of teaching religious studies in this department.

Artikel ini menjelaskan tentang sejarah munculnya ritual ruwatan di Mojokerto, tujuan, bentuk ritual dan makna ruwatan bagi masyarakat lokal. Dengan menggunakan metode etnologi penulis menemukan bahwa munculnya ritual ruwatan di Mojokerto merupakan hasil dari proses magis yang berupa mimpi. Berawal dari mimpi salah satu satu pemuka desa yang bermimpi bertemu dengan pendahulu desa yang memberi simbol-simbol magis untuk menyuruh masyarakat setempat melakukan ritual ruwatan di area makamnya. Ritual tersebut diyakini oleh masyarakat setempat sebagai tameng atau senjata untuk menghindarkan masyarakat dari berbagai bahaya bencana. Bentuk ruwatan yang dilakukan mencakup dua model yaitu membersihkan makam serta memberi sesajen di waktu pagi dan menyelenggarakan wayang di sore dan malam hari. Secara umum, masyarakat lokal memiliki cara pandang bahwa ruwatan tersebut selain untuk menyelamatkan mereka dari mara bahaya, juga mengingatkan mereka pada leluhur serta merupakan suatu bentuk ungkapan terima kasih mereka kepadanya. Kesimpulan artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa ritual ruwatan desa merupakan representasi hormat masyarakat kepada leluhur. Selain itu, tujuan diadakannya ritual ini untuk membentuk keharmonisan di dalam masyarakat, karena masyarakat yang datang dari latar belakang yang berbeda datang dan berkumpul di ritual ini.

Popular news on religious issues tends to simplify the values of religion in socio-political expressions. They attend to blow acts of violence up in the name of religion. In this context, media remark some religious groups by using horrible terms and idioms, such as zealots, extremists, militants, etc. Moreover, they swipe it with taking some appalling photos and pictures. Religious leaders perceive this phenomenon as kind of misunderstanding paradigm in approaching and viewing religion, having known that conflict and violence are not only socio-political expression of religion. There are many untold beautiful expressions of religion, like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa, Malcolm X, and Dalai Lama. This article attempts to explore how religion can deeply be embodied with peace building, conflict management, and peace studies. It suggests that in order to be a tool of peace building, religion should not be used for proselytizing other people but rather should be put in academic and rational way to spread voices of peace. In addition to this, peace message of religion should also be expressed especially in social media as a counteraction against violent message of religious extremists. And the last thing is that peace building can only be achieved when peace work can bridge religious and secular communities.

Artikel ini mendiskusikan gerakan Front Pembela Islam (FPI) di Indonesia dengan menyorot pada beberapa poin: 1) faktor dan konteks geopolitik yang mempengaruhi munculnya FPI; 2) ideologi kelompok FPI; dan 3) perkembangan FPI di Indonesia. Dalam perkembangannya, gerakan FPI sering kali menimbulkan kontroversi. Mereka mengklaim dirinya sebagai representasi kaum Muslim yang bertugas untuk memantau sekaligus memerintahkan umat Muslim untuk berbuat baik dan melarang mereka dari berbuat jahat (al-amr bi al-ma’rûf wa al-nahy ‘an al-munkar). Namun dalam praktiknya, mereka menjustifikasi langkah-langkah yang tidak konstitusional (seperti aksi kekerasan) demi menegakkan jargon tersebut. Di sisi lain, FPI tidak hanya keberatan terhadap kebobrokan sosial, tapi juga menentang eksistensi kelompok minoritas seperti Syi’ah dan Ahmadiyah. Dengan model gerakan takfiri, FPI secara konstan beranjak untuk mengembangkan budaya takut dalam masyarakat. Hal ini tentu menjadi tantangan serius bagi masyarakat Indonesia yang mendambakan kedamaian dan harmoni sosial. Pemerintah dalam hal ini perlu mengambil sikap yang tegas untuk melawan tindakan-tindakan intoleran melalui penegakan hukum yang serius, sekaligus menyebarkan pesan-pesan perdamaian. Jika tidak, kekuatan-kekuatan tak beradab itu akan terus berkembang dengan aksi-aksi teror yang meresahkan masyarakat.

Identitas politik orang Papua dianggap sebagai ras Melanesia dengan ciri-ciri yaitu orang yang berkulit hitam, rambut keriting dan beragama Kristen. Identitas politik semacam itu dipergunakan oleh orang-orang elit Papua sebagai alat perpolitikan, namun politik identitas tersebut menjadi agak berbahaya berkaitan dengan identitas Papua yang inklusif dan toleran. Pada kenyataannya, orang Papua asli dapat dibedakan menurut identitas agama mereka yang terdiri dari orang Kristen, Katolik dan Muslim. Hal tersebut menandakan bahwa ruang perdebatan untuk menentukan politik identitas Papua ditandai dengan proses negosiasi Kristen Papua (orang Papua yang beragama Kristen) dan Muslim Papua (orang Papua yang beragama Islam). Perbedaan penafsiran dari identitas Papua dibangun oleh para intelektual dan elit Papua yang ingin bersinggungan langsung dengan pengembalian identitas asli (re-papuanization). Artikel ini akan mengarah pada metode orang Islam dan Kristen Papua dalam mempertahankan identitas mereka dan mendapatkan pengakuan sebagai bagian dari orang Papua. Artikel ini mencoba menjawab tiga pertanyaan terkait dengan (1) bagaimana Muslim Papua membangun identitas budaya mereka pada masa otonomi khusus; (2) bagaimana Muslim Papua memperjuangkan identitas budaya mereka bersamaan dengan Muslim imigran; dan (3) bagaimana Muslim Papua memperjuangkan identitas budaya mereka bersama dengan orang Kristen Papua.

Salah satu tantangan sarjana Muslim ketika berbicara perdamaian dalam Islam adalah terkait ayat-ayat yang terlihat mendukung kekerasan dalam Alquran. Tidak bisa dipungkiri, terdapat beberapa ayat Alquran yang bahkan mendukung peperangan dan pembunuhan kepada mereka yang dianggap kafir atau orang musyrik. Ketika dibaca atau diartikan secara harfiah, tentu dapat menimbulkan kebencian terhadap non-Muslim. Itulah mengapa, ayat-ayat kekerasan sering kali dikutip oleh beberapa kelompok dalam perdebatan isu ini untuk memojokkan Islam dan menunjukkan bahwa Islam adalah agama kekerasan ketimbang perdamaian. Artikel ini mengkaji tentang beberapa ayat-ayat kekerasan yang ada dalam al-Qur’anAlquran khususnya dalam QS. al-Baqarah [2]:191, an-Nisâ’ [4]:89, dan at-TaubahTawbah [9]:5. Ketiga ayat-ayat ini berisikan kalimat yang hampir berbunyi “Bunuh mereka di mana kamu bertemu dengan mereka”. MakalahArtikel ini memperhitungkan antara dua penafsiran yaitu tafsirtafsîr klasik dan modern. Buku-buku tafsirtafsîr klasik yang dibahas di sini yaitu tentang penafsiran dari al-T{{abârî, al-Râzî, al-Qurt}}ûbî dan ibn Kathîr sedangkan penafsiran modern meliputi Rashîd Rid}}â, al-Sha’râwîal-Sha‘râwî, al-Zuhaylî dan Quraish Shihab. MakalahArtikel ini menarik beberapa perbandingan dan perbedaan antara penafsiran klasik dan penafsiran modern dengan mengacu pada ayat-ayat tersebut.

The seeds of the clash of thought between the East and the West have become a pin point on the valuable literature of the classical west to take a part on such issues. In short, Hegel’s claim on the philosophical history, Darwinism on the evolutional theory and Marxism on the capitalism join in this complex debate. Those three figures play a role in formulating the existence of west civilization with its hegemonic characteristic. The prosperous study on looking another civilization in black-white discourse takes part in growing animosity among civilization. Civilization is a total number of material achievements and thoughts from many generations. Civilization cannot appear from few people for it is a spontaneous design of human being. This article attempts to explore two leading civilizations in the world, Islam and the West. When Islam, which is identical with the East, has tried to observe the West by using Occidentalism as its epistemological approach, polemic and debate become apparent. The tension between the West and the East takes another new volume. This article attempts to elucidate the antagonistic-relationship between the East and the West, the Occidentalism, and epistemological efforts to build the dialogue of civilization.

The movement of Salafism constitutes part of the Islamic history of fundamentalism. They call their self as Salafis, who etymologically means “what had passed through and gone before” or “the outdistancing group”. The appearance of Global-Salafism apparently starts from the will of coming back to the past, which is the period of as-Salaf ash-S{âlih}. In the next development, it had to deal with the shifting perspective from theological nuance into political movement (Jihad-Salafism) which well issued by the appearance of phenomenon of many radical movements. Discourse about Salafism therefore is actually being pretentious after the tragedy of World Trade Center (WTC), September 11, 2001. Salafism is Islamic radical movement which attempts to modify Islamic traditional legacy. Unlike other group on Islamic movement that use religious reform within their progress, Salafism uses retrograde process as practical method. This article aims to explore at least three issues concerning with Salafism: (1) the basic doctrine of Salafism and its response to politics, (2) its movement and fragmentation, and (3) how it constructs follower’s conviction in different states in the world. This article primarily refers to Roel Meijer’s book, Global Salafism; Islam’s New Religious Movement. In this book, Meijer wrote about intellectual’s concern and care for global Salafism. In addition, this article also refers to other references to enrich its analysis, specifically the social influences of global Salafism.

Falsehood (bid‘ah) becomes an interesting study for Moslem scholars especially on the matters of worship and ritual practices. The committee of tarjîh al-Qur’ân justifies falsehood by referring to H{adith used as the guide and method. The interpretative result toward the h}adith causes different perspective among Moslem scholars. There are three important points that will be elucidated in this article: first what method uses MTA in conceiving h}adith in relation with falsehood, second how MTA perspective of bid‘ah, and third is re-construction the h}adith bid‘ah according to MTA. MTA explains that what is called bid‘ah in prophet’s h}adith is bid‘ah in the matter of religion (worship) that certainly misleading. Yet, the falsehood in relation with worldly matter for MTA must be given a space to branch out as long as it gives positive impact and push people creativity in general meaning. It is suitable with prophet’s h}adith said that “man sanna sunnah h}asanah..... man sanna sunnah sayyiah...”. In this condition, MTA indirectly admits the variant of the bid‘ah. But the ordinary classification differs with the ulama’s classification either in terms of mutaqadimîn or muta’akhirîn, in general point of view, otherwise the classification is in contrary with the religious matters and worldly matters.
