Abstract

The study of masculinities in the context of film is currently attracting global attention from researchers. However, there are still a few researchers who study Muslim men as heroes in the context of Indonesian films. In this regard, this research aims to explore Muslim male heroes in Indonesian horror and silat films through the perspective of masculinity. This research employs qualitative methods, with data collection techniques conducted through a literature review. The data used were Indonesian horror and silat films from 1970 to 2020. The results of this study reveal the following key findings. The results of this study show the following findings. First, in Indonesian horror films, there is a type of male Muslim hero who performs exorcism of demons that possess human bodies; performs exorcism of demons that disturb and cause terror to families/citizens; and fights against black magic shamans. Second, in Indonesian silat films, the type of Muslim male hero is often depicted as a tough, strong, and mighty figure, fighting against the Dutch colonizers. Third, Muslim male heroes who appear in Indonesian films, both horror and silat, are not fully the main hero character. Globally, this research is expected to contribute to Islamic studies on male heroes in films from the perspective of masculinity, a topic that has been rarely explored in Islamic studies.

Abstract

The principle of popular sovereignty constitutes a fundamental doctrine in modern constitutional democracy, positioning the people as the ultimate source of political legitimacy. However, within Islamic political thought, this principle has often been perceived as theoretically problematic due to its assumed tension with the doctrine of divine sovereignty (ḥākimiyyah Allāh). This article aims to reconstruct the principle of popular sovereignty from the perspective of fiqh siyasah, moving beyond the conventional dichotomy between divine sovereignty and popular authority. Employing a normative-philosophical approach combined with conceptual and historical analysis, this study examines classical Islamic political doctrines alongside contemporary theories of sovereignty and constitutionalism. The findings demonstrate that fiqh siyasah does not reject popular sovereignty per se, but rather reframes it as a form of delegated, ethically bounded authority. Sovereignty, in this perspective, is not an absolute right of the people to legislate without limits, but a collective mandate exercised within the normative framework of Islamic law and oriented toward the realization of justice and public welfare (maqāṣid al-sharī’ah). Popular will acquire legitimacy not merely through procedural majority, but through its conformity with substantive ethical principles. This reconstruction offers a conceptual synthesis between Islamic political jurisprudence and modern democratic governance. It further shows that democratic institutions in Muslim-majority states can operate within a framework of constitutional and ethical sovereignty without negating Islamic normative foundations. In the Indonesian context, this model provides a theoretical basis for strengthening substantive democracy by integrating popular sovereignty with constitutional values and moral accountability. The article contributes to contemporary Islamic political thought by offering a prescriptive framework that bridges normative Islamic principles and modern constitutional practice.

Abstract

The crisis of commitment to green theology has been sublimated into collective consciousness, making the potential ecological damage caused by ritual practices often seem normal or acceptable. However, this issue tends to be overlooked in academic discussions. This study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach using a case study method. Data collection and analysis were conducted intensively by examining online news articles published between May 29 and June 11, 2025, using the keywords “climate change, ritual, and ecological knowledge” via the Google search engine. The findings indicate that ritual practices conducted in natural settings frequently disregard their long-term ecological implications. This situation is further exacerbated by the use of non-environmentally friendly ritual materials, such as plastic and synthetic substances, which leave residues that are not easily biodegradable. The lack of waste management and the absence of ecological rehabilitation efforts following the rituals reflect a weak commitment to green theology in the implementation of tradition-based rituals. The significance of this study lies in its emphasis on the need to reorient traditional ritual practices so that they are theologically and ecologically integrated, thereby supporting environmental preservation without compromising religious intentions and cultural values.
