Abstract

This study explores the role of indigenous, religious, and intellectual institutions in mitigating the social impacts of illegal gold mining on communities in West Pasaman, West Sumatra. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through interviews and observations involving ten key informants. Data analysis was conducted using the framework proposed by Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal that illegal gold mining has led to significant social consequences, including social conflict, economic disparities, moral degradation, and the proliferation of drug and alcohol abuse. These pressing issues have garnered serious attention from Tigo Tungku Sajarangan, a traditional leadership structure, which collaborates with the Nagari Customary Court to address these challenges. This collaboration involves various stakeholders, including nagari leaders, the Nagari Traditional Council, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) of West Pasaman, local Islamic preachers, as well as members of Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama. Additionally, non-governmental organizations and diaspora communities also play an active role in these efforts. The initiatives undertaken through this collaboration include moral appeals, public awareness campaigns, and the imposition of customary sanctions. However, customary institutions lack the legal authority to prosecute criminal offenses, limiting their ability to enforce legal consequences. Nonetheless, their efforts contribute significantly to fostering social harmony and strengthening community resilience against the adverse effects of illegal gold mining.Keywords: Society, Impact, Illegal Gold Mining, Tigo Tungku Sajarangan

Abstract

This article explores the role of Kiai leadership and management strategies in fostering character education at Islamic boarding schools, with a focus on the integration of Sufism as a spiritual approach to shaping students’ Islamic character (akhlak). Conducted at the At-Tamur Islamic Boarding School in Bandung, the study employs a qualitative method using interviews with the school’s director, a teacher, and alumni, alongside observations and documentation. Secondary data were drawn from scholarly articles, books, and other relevant literature. The findings reveal that the Kiai’s character education strategy is deeply rooted in Sufistic principles, emphasizing both hablu minallah (relationship with God) through weekly Friday night religious recitations, and hablu minannas (relationship with others) through active community service. The study contributes to the discourse on Islamic education by showcasing the practical application of Sufism in contemporary pesantren leadership.

Abstract

This article aims to study the European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR)’s fatwas and legal statements concerning Muslims’ loyalties to European states. the authoritative Sunni reformist scholarly institution arguments and theses in chronological order. Next, I will examine the resources and limitations of loyalty in the ECFR’s fatwas in relation to the European securitization of loyalty. Specifically, emphasis will be placed on how, in the European setting, loyalty to secular states and Islam can coexist, complement each other, or conflict. This article uses a discourse analysis method to examine the ethical assumptions in these fatwas while also contextualizing them in the current debates on politics and ethics, drawing on sociology of religious norms. The study shows that the discourses of the European Council for Fatwa and Research advocate the ideas of multiple loyalties and the harmony and complementarity of political citizenship with religious loyalty to Islam. These findings imply the commitment of Sunni reformism to political loyalty as a moral basis of group identification, the self and the other, and the processes of forming alliances and the quest for social cohesion.

Abstract

The interpretation of the Qur'an often neglects sociological disparities, despite its inherent social dimensions. This study examines Abdullah Saeed's progressive interpretation of the Qur'an, focusing on his concept of the Islamic hierarchy of values as a framework for recontextualizing ethical-legal injunctions in modernity. Employing a descriptive-qualitative method with a hermeneutic and socio-historical approach, this research traces the epistemological foundations of Saeed’s contextual exegesis and its implications for contemporary Qur’anic scholarship. Saeed argues that ethical-legal verses must be reinterpreted in light of evolving social realities, emphasizing a dynamic hierarchy of values that prioritizes the Qur'an's overarching moral objectives over rigid textual literalism. Influenced by Fazlur Rahman’s double-movement hermeneutics, Saeed systematically develops an interpretive model that distinguishes between timeless universal principles and time-bound rulings. His approach advocates for a shift from textualist to contextual methodologies, ensuring the Qur'an’s relevance to modern challenges. This study concludes that Saeed’s hierarchy of values offers a transformative framework for progressive Qur’anic interpretation, balancing fidelity to the text with responsiveness to societal change, thereby enriching contemporary Islamic thought.

Abstract

Multiculturalism often positions the majority group as the central axis in establishing the rules of sociality. This article examines how urban social spaces in North Sumatra serve as dynamic platforms for interactions among diverse ethnic, religious, and cultural groups, with the Muslim community as the dominant majority. Using a phenomenological approach, the study explores how social realities are constructed through intergroup interactions. Field data, analyzed hermeneutically within a qualitative philosophical framework, reveal that these social spaces function both as arenas of conflict and as catalysts for integration. The findings highlight the dual roles of social spaces in fostering cooperation and preserving diverse identities, conceptualized through the metaphors of a “symphony" and a “mosaic.” The “symphony” illustrates harmonious collaboration among groups, while the “mosaic” reflects the coexistence of distinct identities. These dynamics contribute to a distinctive model of multiculturalism in Indonesia, where conflict is integrated as part of the social fabric, fostering deeper social cohesion. This research provides valuable insights for global discourses on diversity management and conflict resolution, particularly in multicultural urban societies.

Abstract

The hadîts tradition places great emphasis on the precise transmission of reports from reliable sources, with authenticity hinging on the integrity of each link in the chain of transmission (isnâd). This concern for accuracy led narrators to study under authoritative scholars, as the reliability of a hadîts depends significantly on the credibility of its transmitters. Following the compilation of hadîts into canonical texts, students actively pursued learning from recognized teachers, often documenting their scholarly lineages and texts studied in tsabat manuscripts. Many traveled to major centers of Islamic learning, such as the Haramain, where scholars from across the Muslim world gathered. This study examines the contributions of Indonesian hadîts scholars to the tsabat tradition through an analysis of manuscripts by Yasin al-Fadani, Mukhtar 'Atarid al-Bughuri, and Mahfuz al-Termasi. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, it investigates their methods of documentation and transmission. The findings reveal that Indonesian scholars played a vital role in preserving hadîts transmission chains, demonstrating scholarly rigor on par with their Middle Eastern contemporaries. Mahfuz al-Termasi’s Kifâyat al-Mustafîd, in particular, exemplifies meticulous sanad recording. This study underscores the importance of tsabat as a marker of scholarly authenticity and calls for the digitization of such manuscripts to safeuard Islamic intellectual heritage.

Abstract

This article explores the Minangkabau leadership philosophy through the perspective of the history of Islamic political thought, focusing on the integration of Islamic values, customary principles, and the role of intellectuals in traditional Minangkabau society. The research problem centers on how this local leadership model rooted in concepts such as Tungku Nan Tigo Sajarangan and Tali Nan Tigo Sapilin reflects the evolution and localization of Islamic political concepts, particularly concerning authority, justice, and legitimacy. Using a qualitative method and a historical-analytical approach, the study draws on classical Islamic political texts and local Minangkabau sources to trace continuities and adaptations in political thought. The findings indicate that the Minangkabau leadership tradition embodies a contextualized interpretation of Islamic political ideas that has endured across generations. It suggests that this tradition, when revisited with empirical data from relevant contemporary stakeholders, can offer practical frameworks for cultivating integrity-based and sustainable leadership in modern Muslim societies. This study contributes to broadening the discourse on Islamic political thought by emphasizing indigenous contributions and the relevance of local wisdom in contemporary governance.

Abstract

Efforts to integrate science and revelation in Islamic campuses have been underway since the 1970s; however, the extent to which these aspirations have been achieved still requires further discussion. This study examines how the integration of knowledge is manifested at USIM and UIN SU Medan. The focus is on the theoretical-philosophical framework, objectives, implementation processes, strategic priorities, and challenges of science integration. The research primarily relies on written data from guidebooks and reports on science integration at both campuses, analyzed using Content Analysis. The study found that both campuses share similarities in terms of philosophy and theory of integration, despite using different terminologies and jargons. They also face relatively similar challenges. On the other hand, there are significant differences between the two campuses in terms of governance and clarity of work plans. As an experience, the findings of this study can contribute to similar efforts at other campuses.

Abstract

This paper examines the living tradition of Bay’ah Lima, rooted in the teachings of Sheikh Musthafa Husein al-Mandily, with particular attention to its historical development and transformation. Using a qualitative-historical approach and drawing on Eric Hobsbawm’s theory of Invented Tradition, the study highlights three key findings: first, Bay’ah Lima emphasizes loyalty to both religion and the nation; second, while the formal practice of oath-taking is no longer observed in Pesantren Musthafawiyah, it has evolved into forms more relevant to contemporary contexts; and third, its values remain embedded in classroom teaching, pesantren activities, and national commemorations. These findings illustrate that traditions may shift in form while retaining their essence. The study underscores the role of pesantren as a vital force in shaping Indonesian nationalism, countering assumptions that Islamic education fosters anti-nationalist sentiment, and recommends that pesantren continuously contextualize their practices to sustain both religious and national consciousness.

Abstract

This study explores audience reception of the Malaysian drama Bidaah through the perspectives of pedagogy and media literacy, focusing on how cinematic depictions of religious manipulation shape perceptions in Malaysia and Indonesia. Using a descriptive-exploratory qualitative method supported by quantitative data, the research analyzed social media discourse, surveyed 100 respondents, and interviewed 20 Islamic educators from both countries. Findings show divided responses: Indonesian audiences tended to value the film’s artistic critique of spiritual abuse, while most educators expressed concern about its potential to distort views of Islamic leadership. Thematic analysis highlights issues of charismatic dominance, symbolic language, and emotional religious rhetoric in media. The study argues that educators should move beyond binary judgments and instead foster critical, ethical media engagement. Bidaah thus becomes not only a cinematic controversy but also a pedagogical opportunity to nurture discernment, compassion, and media-literate faith.
