Abstract

This study examines the role of Islamic-based mediation in strengthening family resilience within Muslim communities, particularly in conflicts between daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law. Such conflicts represent a significant social issue that not only affects household harmony but also influences broader community stability. This research aims to analyze mediation practices and formulate a community-oriented mediation model grounded in Islamic family law principles. Using a qualitative multi-site case study approach, the research involved eight Muslim families experiencing in-law conflicts, as well as mediators including religious leaders and institutional actors. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that conflicts are primarily triggered by parental interference, differences in values and parenting practices, and economic tensions. Effective mediation is characterized by the integration of Islamic values such as musyawarah (deliberation), ishlah (reconciliation), and justice; the balancing of power relations; and the establishment of clear agreements regarding roles and communication. These mediation practices contribute not only to conflict resolution but also to strengthening family resilience in psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions. This study proposes an Islamic relational mediation model that positions mediation as a community-based strategy for reinforcing social cohesion and family resilience. The findings highlight the importance of culturally grounded mediation in supporting sustainable community development within Muslim societies.
RECONSTRUCTING THE PHILOSOPHY OF ISLAMIC ECO-SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP: PESANTREN-BASED COASTAL DEVELOPMENT AS A PARADIGM OF ETHICAL TRANSFORMATION Suyono, Suyono; Fathurrohman, Fathurrohman; Fuady, Ahmad Silmul; Huda, Miftachul

Abstract

The structural paradox of coastal poverty in Muslim-majority communities lies in abundant marine resources alongside economic marginalization and environmental degradation. While Islamic institutions have historically contributed to social welfare, their role in contemporary sustainability discourse remains underexplored. This study examines pesantren-based coastal development as a model of ethical transformation to reconstruct the philosophical foundations of Islamic eco-social entrepreneurship. Using a thematic and interpretative analysis, the findings reveal that pesantren function as socio-economic catalysts beyond their religious roles. Santri-led enterprises diversify livelihoods, reduce reliance on exploitative middlemen, and promote environmentally responsible practices such as sustainable fishing and waste management. Triangulated data indicate a shift from exploitative to conservation-oriented behavior. The model is grounded in three dimensions: khilafah (ecological stewardship), integration of religious knowledge and skills, and commitment to maslahah and mizan. This integrative approach positions pesantren as ethical-economic actors, redefining poverty alleviation as moral-ecological reconstruction within a sustainable Islamic development paradigm.

Abstract

The determination of the start of the Hijri month is a fundamental aspect of Islamic religious practice, particularly in setting the dates for religious observances such as Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. However, differences in determination methods and criteria often give rise to social dynamics within Muslim communities. This article aims to analyse the dynamics of determining the start of the Hijri month and its impact on the social cohesion of the Muslim community. This study employs a qualitative approach based on a literature review, analysing scholarly literature, institutional documents, and previous research through the framework of the sociology of religion, particularly theories of social cohesion and religious authority. The analysis focuses on how epistemological differences, the role of institutions, and socio-cultural contexts shape religious practices and social relations. The findings indicate that differences in Indonesia regarding the determination of the start of the Hijri month are influenced by variations in the interpretation of religious texts and astronomical criteria, as well as the authority of religious institutions. These differences have an ambivalent impact on social cohesion: they can trigger fragmentation, symbolic conflict, and polarisation, yet they also foster tolerance, pluralism, and mechanisms of social adaptation. This research contributes by shifting the focus of study from fiqh and astronomical approaches towards a sociological approach that places social cohesion at the centre of the analysis.

Abstract

Peer support is widely recognized as a key component in the recovery of individuals with substance use disorders (SUD), yet its role in community-based rehabilitation within socio-religious such as in Aceh contexts remains underexplored. This study examines the contribution of peer support and its psychosocial impacts at the Rumoh Geutanyoe Aceh Foundation. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving eight informants (four active clients, two peer counselors, one former client and one coordinator program) and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings indicate that peer support significantly enhances psychosocial recovery by strengthening motivation, self-confidence, and resilience. This process is reflected in key dimensions of social support—particularly reassurance of worth, guidance, and reliable alliance—through emotional bonding, shared experiences, and sustained mentoring relationships. Peer support also fosters a stigma-free and supportive environment that promotes long-term recovery. This study contributes to the limited literature on peer-based rehabilitation in local and Islamic socio-cultural contexts and highlights the importance of integrating peer support into community-based recovery programs.

Abstract

Aceh has one of the largest forest areas in Sumatra. However, Aceh has lost approximately 117,000 hectares in the last 7 years. Although the Aceh government has addressed forest destruction through programs run by the environment and forestry agencies and regulatory support from Indonesian laws and Qanun, these measures have not been effective. In addressing this issue, Islam has a solution-oriented and relevant approach to tackling forest destruction through the concept of Waqf Forest. This study examined the implementation, positive impacts, and challenges, and will produce recommendations for the development of waqf forests in Aceh province. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study method to explore in depth the waqf forest model as a forest reforestation strategy in Aceh. Overall, this study highlights that the waqf forest model represents a promising strategy for addressing deforestation and supporting reforestation efforts in Aceh Province, while also identifying key challenges that hinder its optimal development. Contributing empirical insights into waqf forest implementation in Aceh, an area largely underexplored in prior literature. This research demonstrates that waqf forests hold significant potential as an Islamic philanthropic mechanism for advancing ecological sustainability and long-term forest conservation in the region.

Abstract

This study examines the social meaning and legal interaction of dowry differentiation within Muslim communities in Tanjung Pauh, focusing on the relationship between customary law and Islamic law. While previous studies on dowry in Indonesia have largely emphasized normative or economic aspects, limited attention has been given to how legal pluralism operates in everyday social practices, particularly when customary norms introduce distinctions not explicitly regulated in Islamic jurisprudence. This research adopts an empirical legal approach with a qualitative descriptive design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with customary leaders, religious figures, village authorities, and community members, complemented by observation and document analysis. The findings indicate that dowry determination is governed by a collective and institutionalized customary system, in which virgins receive one gram of gold and widows receive half a gram. This differentiation is consistently applied and widely accepted as a cultural symbol reflecting marital experience rather than as a form of social inequality. From the perspective of Islamic law, the practice is considered permissible as it upholds the principles of mutual consent, fairness, and the absence of coercion. This study demonstrates that the interaction between customary law and Islamic law results in a form of normative convergence, where local traditions are accommodated within Islamic legal values. It contributes to the discourse on legal pluralism by highlighting that culturally embedded practices can function harmoniously without undermining gender dignity. Practically, the study provides insight into how community-based norms shape the implementation of Islamic family law in diverse social contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the communicative role of religious leaders in mediating the relationship between Islamic values and local cultural practices within the Begawe tradition of the Sasak community in Lombok. Existing scholarship on religious authority and local wisdom has largely overlooked the discursive mechanisms through which socio religious meanings are negotiated in communal ritual contexts therefore, this study aims to address this gap by analysing how religious narratives are constructed and strategically communicated. Employing a qualitative design grounded in critical discourse analysis, data were collected through in depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving five key informants representing religious, customary, and community leadership. The findings reveal that religious leaders function as cultural brokers who articulate adaptive Islamic discourses by integrating scriptural references, symbolic ritual language, and moral exhortations that legitimise tradition while responding to ongoing socio religious transformations. This mediation process fosters social cohesion and reinforces collective identity, yet also reflects contestations shaped by modernisation and differing Islamic orientations, particularly between Aswaja and Salafi groups. Overall, the study contributes to communication studies and the anthropology of religion by conceptualising local religious discourse as a dynamic cultural strategy for negotiating continuity and change in contemporary Muslim societies.
QUR'ANIC MANUSCRIPTS OF TERENGGANU AND ACEH (CODICOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF QUR'ANIC MANUSCRIPTS A47 AND A694 FROM THE PNRI COLLECTION) Setiawan, Budi; Herman, Herman; Saleh, Putri M; Billah, Muhammad Qudwah I’tishom

Abstract

This study examines the codicological characteristics of two ancient Qur'anic manuscripts, A47 from Terengganu and A694 from Aceh, which are part of the collection of the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia (PNRI). Using a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods, this research analyzes the physical aspects of the manuscripts including calligraphy, illumination, paper type, binding techniques, and additional texts, as well as textual aspects covering rasm, qira'at, dhabt, tajwid, and waqf signs. The results show that both manuscripts reflect a unique synthesis between Islamic traditions and local cultures. Manuscript A47 displays complex geometric patterns with gold color dominance, reflecting the aesthetics of Terengganu, while A694 shows minimalist floral illuminations with dominant red and black colors, characteristic of Acehnese culture. Textual analysis reveals variations in rasm and qira'at, with A694 tending to be more conservative in Rasm Uthmani and following certain qira'at such as Ibn Amir and Hamzah, while A47 is more accommodative to isbat alif and follows the majority qira'at of 'Asim via Hafs. This study concludes that these manuscripts are not only religious texts but also cultural artifacts that reflect the dynamics of transmission and adaptation of the Qur'anic text according to the needs of Muslim communities in Terengganu and Aceh, as well as contributing to the understanding of the history of Islamic civilization in the Archipelago.

Abstract

This study addresses stunting as a multidimensional community development issue that requires collaborative efforts at the grassroots level. Stunting, caused by chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections during the first 1,000 days of life, remains a significant challenge in Indonesia. Strengthening the capacity of community-based actors such as PAUD teachers and Posyandu cadres is essential for early detection and prevention. However, their limited knowledge of early screening practices hinders effective intervention. This study aims to analyze and compare the capacity improvement of PAUD teachers and Posyandu cadres through community-based SDIDTK telenursing training. A quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design was employed. The sample consisted of active PAUD teachers and Posyandu cadres selected through purposive sampling, all of whom had access to digital devices for training. Data were analyzed using independent sample t-tests. The results showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.874). However, both groups experienced an increase in knowledge after the training. These findings indicate that SDIDTK telenursing training is effective as a community-based capacity-building approach and can equally empower different community actors in supporting early stunting detection.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the da'wah strategies implemented by the Majelis Taklim Darusshofa Medan to increase congregational participation in routine religious study activities. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies involving administrators, preachers, and congregational members. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques to identify key patterns and themes. Using descriptive qualitative methods, data collection was carried out through participatory observation, documentation studies, and in-depth interviews with 15 informants consisting of assembly administrators, preachers, and active and passive congregations in order to obtain a comprehensive perspective. The results indicate that effective da'wah strategies include personal and community approaches, innovative study programs, and the use of digital technology as a means of disseminating information. These strategies contribute to increased awareness, motivation, and sustained congregational participation in routine religious study activities. This study emphasizes the importance of adaptive da'wah practices oriented to community needs in strengthening religious engagement within the majelis taklim environment. The success of increasing congregational participation was driven by the integration of contextual da'wah strategies that combine a bil-hikmah (persuasive) approach with the use of digital media as a means of dissemination and coordination. These findings provide practical contributions for da'wah institution managers in mapping the needs of urban congregations, while also providing theoretical insights into the effectiveness of persuasive communication in strengthening socio-religious cohesion in urban environments.
