Abstract

Abstract: The article reveals the crucial role of contextualizing fiqh as the foundation of Islamic law in addressing contemporary human challenges, with a particular focus on interfaith fiqh. In the modern era when societies are increasingly diverse and interconnected, it is imperative to adapt and advance Islamic legal principles to effectively address current issues and promote harmonious coexistence. This article uses library research as a data collection technique and theory of maslahah to discuss the subject. It argues that fiqh has the capacity to adjust to the demands of the contemporary era. Interreligious fiqh in Indonesia needs to get more attention, which will be a social landmark in the midst of social diversity. In essence, in sharia, Islamic principles promote mutual respect social control, deliberation, peace, pluralism, brotherhood, loving-kindness, equality, fairness, freedom, responsibility and honesty. Efforts that can be taken are: (1) practicing mutual forgiveness, (2) respecting human dignity, (3) being fair and creative in solving problems, and (4) formulating a peaceful civilization with a loving-kindness approach. Because digital space is the second place of socialization and has been a primary need for modern humans, by utilizing such social medias as Instagram, WhatsApp, websites, Facebook and other platforms, this article supports the socialization process of fiqh products which are inclusive, humanist and pluralist.

Abstract

The digital culture has made the internet a significant source of knowledge for millennials. The fast access to information has made them associated with instant culture and bandwagon effect: they behave and adapt to popular trends and demand instant pleasurable activities. In this case, the phenomenon influences how they seek religious advice (fatwa). Pleasure and piety become parts of millennials’ religiosity: they want to look pious yet casual and trendy. This article closely examines a millennial hadrami-descent preacher, Habib Ja‘far. It investigates how he builds his religious authority among millennials and the youth by cultivating his online and fun fatwas. Habib Ja‘far’s YouTube channel is the main data source in this case. Employing qualitative research with netnography method and Slama’s theory on “mediated intimacy”, This study found that a mufti (a man who gives religious advice) must adapt to the changes in how people seek religious advice (fatwa) to gain authority. The more skilled he is at adapting, the more authoritative he will be. In Habib Ja‘far case, his adaptability to youth culture and social media has made him a new religious authority. His da’wa model using social media by collaborating with various speakers from different perspectives can engage a wider audience and make da’wa more entertaining, accepted, and informative toward the fun and easy side of religion without hurting its sacredness.

Abstract

The explanation of when and under what conditions post-Islamism elite is more moderate toward democratic values is still up for debate. The majority of studies explain these issues at the national level without taking into account the local dynamics and variety of experiences. Based on a comparative study on Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (Prosperous Justice Party or PKS) at the local level (Depok and Sukabumi City, West Java) on the acceptance and repudiation of religious freedom rights, this study argues that moderation is not a linear process and is largely determined by strategic confidence, where the moderation can maintain or even expand their power and influence. This study demonstrates how social pressure, organizational structure, and political experience are interconnected and influence the choice of moderation or immoderation.

Abstract

This paper explores the emergence of the Jaringan Intelektual Muda Muhammadiyah (JIMM: Muhammadiyah Young Intellectual Network) as a response to the perceived stagnation of Islamic thought within Muhammadiyah. The discussion encompasses the historical challenges faced by Muhammadiyah, including the dominance of Western-oriented modernism, organizational routine, and resistance to change within the institution. The analysis delves into the controversies surrounding JIMM, as it faced resistance from various circles within Muhammadiyah, often labeled as “liberal” and accused of affiliating with the Liberal Islamic Network (JIL). The paper details the resistance encountered by JIMM, both institutionally and ideologically, including attempts to disband the network during the 46th Congress of Muhammadiyah in 2005. The paper also examines the shift in Muhammadiyah’s stance towards JIMM over time, from initial resistance to eventual accommodation within the organization’s structure and thought processes. The narrative concludes by highlighting Muhammadiyah’s evolving perspective on JIMM as a potential catalyst for intellectual regeneration within the Islamic organization.

Abstract

This article aims to evaluate the use of digital media in the context of Catholic education, especially in religious activities. The method used in this study is content analysis as well as interviews on various aspects of the parish using ATLAS.ti7 software. It encompasses church building history, architectural design, community engagement, blessing ceremonies, photos, videos, writings, digital media integration and so forth. The results reveal that digital media has been used in a variety of church activities, including sharing photos, videos and writings and integrating digital media into religious experiences. However, its use in the context of Catholic education is still narrow. These factors include local conditions, limited resources and pastoral priorities. Nonetheless, digital media has great potential to be used as an educational tool in the Catholic context with the right approach and investment in the right resources.

Abstract

This article investigates the relationships between two congregations, Muslims and Confucians, of two places of worship, that is, Al-Ikhlas Mosque and Tri Dharma Temple adjacent to each other in Desa Sadar Kerukunan, Ilir Kota, Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan. These two places of worship together arguably form the icon of tolerance between religious communities. To ensure that a society characterized by religious and ethnic diversity is harmonious, social capital is necessary to bolster the cohesiveness of relationships between individuals and groups. This study is field research with a qualitative approach and a descriptive method. Employing Robert D. Putnam’s theory of social capital encompassing trust, norms, and networks, this study found that firstly, the deep trust of each religious community is well fostered, which is reflected in the practice of inter-religious communities helping each other. Secondly, there are social networks established and preserved by the elite of the two places of worship. Thirdly, social norms encourage all activities related to ethnicity and religious identity to be communicated clearly to all parties. Fourthly, harmony between religious communities around these two places of worship is driven by the same motive to preserve a common interest, that is, the economic aspect.

Abstract

This research aims to understand the role of religion as a trigger to the conflict while acting as a social integration to seek a viable, inclusive solution. The research method employed in this study is qualitative, with phenomenology of religion as the approach. The data is collected through observation, interviews, and online media to be classified and analyzed as the discussion and findings. The research found that religious identity creates a discriminatory basis, while religious sentiment worsens the situation, especially when some religious extremists are involved in the conflict. The critical factors in the crisis are the geopolitics of religion, identity formation, communal solidarity, and the global view of the crisis. The Acehnese people saw the refugee crisis as a problem of security and regional stability, human rights, Muslim solidarity, and a geopolitical concern. The involvement of international actors and mass media also contributed to the acceptance issue. This research contributes to understanding the conflict dynamics, Acehnese’s acceptance of the refugees, and its relevance to Southeast Asia politics. The study can also be a reference for more inclusive policy-making in Aceh and Indonesia concerning similar cases.

Abstract

This article discusses Jesus anthropologically and his implication as well as historicity in the Islamic context. In Islam, Jesus is called ‘Īsā al-Masīḥ. In this article we discuss Jesus in the Quran and the Hadith, the anthropology of Jesus in Islam, the miracle of Jesus in the Islamic context, the Christian polemic against Islam in the Middle Ages and the dialogue and peace between Christians and Muslims. The method employed is content analysis of relevant primary and secondary data. The data collection method uses library research to explore various reference sources. The primary and secondary data obtained are then analyzed using a qualitative approach. The result is that the figure of Jesus based on Oddbjørn Leirvik’s thought can be used to promote harmony and peace in religious relationships, and it is very relevant to Indonesian context. The awareness of the figure of Jesus based on Islamic and Catholic teachings is essential to promote harmony especially in Indonesia.

Abstract

The Ḥaḍramī people in Indonesia, popularly called ḥabā’ib, are those of Arab descent who have contributed to the history of this nation. Their same origin does not necessarily make this community homogeneous, especially when it comes to Islam and Indonesianness. The vibrant tones that characterize this diversity can even be traced back to the colonial era. One of them is related to the struggle for the influence of h}abā’ib’s religious politics in the public sphere. The recent growth of their authority at the national level has drawn attention and prompted a key inquiry about what infrastructure and superstructure are conducive and supportive for this to occur. A heuristic analysis is conducted to explore the issue. This study reveals that ḥabā’ib’s religious politics have grown in prominence in Indonesia because they have hospitable spaces to grow in accord with the construction of their identity as a social and religious elite group. Meanwhile, this phenomenon is difficult to develop in cultural settings that do not accommodate the expressions of supremacy based on race, ethnicity, or ancestry. The existence of cultural spaces with different inclinations in addressing h}abā’ib’s identity is still constitutionally permitted in Indonesia. Muslims have the wisdom as well as the resilience to manage the struggle for religious and political authority in their respective Islamic cultural environments. The state and government must continue to position themselves as the large tent for the diversity of their people.

Abstract

This article investigates the religious and spiritual dimensions of the kris which is a cherised cultural heirloom. This research aims to portray the deepest meaning of the kris according to the kris enthusiasts in East Java. It is essential to see the kris from local knowledge perspectives. In exploring the meaning of the kris as a sacred object, the article puts forth two main questions: how the kris enthusiasts view the kris as a cultural symbol and how religious and spiritual experiences of the kris influence their views on daily life. This research uses a qualitative method with a combination of phenomenology and ethnography approaches. Data collection was through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, with informants selected using purposive sampling. The results of the research show that firstly, the kris enthusiasts view the kris as a religious symbol that helps build their journey of life. The kris is understood as a symbol of noble values and to contain a philosophy of life that is inseparable from other elements, including beliefs, moral values, art, thoughts and practices, thereby being of great importance for the lives of the kris enthusiasts. Secondly, the religious and spiritual experiences of the kris are not limited to external or ritualistic aspects alone, but also encompass the internal dimension that gives birth to spiritual and religious depth, creating a space of meaning for profound human experience.
