Abstract

Caught between the pull of tradition and the push of modernity, pesantren is undergoing a crucial transformation in the landscape of Indonesian Islamic education. This study explores how pesantrens maintain their classical roots while integrating modern educational practices. It employs a narrative review with data collected from relevant peer-reviewed literature. These data are synthesized according to common themes and analyzed qualitatively. The review reveals that, despite external pressures (e.g., colonial rule and state policies) and its active role in civil society, pesantren continues to preserve traditional Islam by sustaining classical Islamic scholarship, moral teachings, and kyai-led authority. At the same time, modernization has strongly influenced pesantren education, with many institutions expanding their curricula, adopting inclusive governance, utilizing digital tools, and aligning with national education policies to strengthen institutional capacity and relevance. These pesantrens demonstrate a careful balancing act; they selectively integrate modern educational reforms while upholding their religious traditions although certain issues still merit further attention. Overall, these findings underscore the pesantren’s resilience, adaptability, and significance in today’s Indonesian educational context.

Abstract

This study examines how the multiple identities of the Mindanao Muslim minority in Metro Manila influence their loyalty to the Philippine state. Using qualitative methods through Focus Group Discussions and in-depth interviews conducted in Quiapo, Maharlika Village, and Culiat, the research applies Creswell’s qualitative data analysis framework. The findings reveal four key tendencies: (1) reluctance to identify as Filipinos due to historical, cultural, and religious dissonance; (2) prioritization of ethnic and religious over national identity; (3) pragmatic identification as Filipinos for bureaucratic purposes; and (4) successful integration of Islamic, Bangsamoro, and Philippine identities among a small group who perceive no inherent conflict between them. The study contributes to the discourse on Muslim minority identity negotiation by demonstrating that identity pluralism and adaptive negotiation are crucial mechanisms for sustaining minority existence within a dominant national framework

Abstract

This study examines the impact of European colonialism on the political, economic, and religious identity dynamics of Muslim communities in the Nusantara while highlighting Islam’s role as a pillar of resistance. The research analyzes primary archives and secondary literature within a “Challenge and Response” framework using a historical-qualitative methodology. Findings show that Islamic sultanates had developed strong economic and cultural networks before European colonization. Policies of monopoly and cultural assimilation by the Portuguese and Dutch triggered resistance, marked by physical opposition and the reaffirmation of religious identity. Islamic institutions such as pesantren, ulama networks, and Sufi leaders were central in fostering solidarity and anti-colonial sentiments. Resistance spanned political, cultural, and spiritual domains, positioning Islam as an inspiration for social movements. This study concludes that colonialism accelerated the formation of Islamic identity as a resistance force, paving the way for structured liberation movements.

Abstract

Dzikr (remembrance of Allah) and meditation are core spiritual practices in Islam that support inner peace and personal transformation. Grounded in the Qur’an and developed within tashawwuf (Sufism), they aim to purify the self (tazkiyah al-nafs), deepen God-consciousness, and cultivate spiritual tranquillity. This study explores the relevance of dzikr and meditation by integrating Islamic spiritual perspectives with contemporary psychological and mental-health insights. Using a qualitative–descriptive method, data were obtained through literature analysis and participatory observation in dzikr and meditation gatherings, supplemented by informal interviews. The results show that these practices enhance spiritual well-being by fostering gratitude, emotional balance, and awareness of the Divine, while also producing measurable psychological benefits such as reduced stress and increased resilience. The study concludes that dzikr and meditation remain highly relevant for promoting holistic well-being and providing accessible pathways to balance and meaning in modern life.

Abstract

Pakistani society generally interprets Islamic teachings textually, especially regarding men’s responsibility to protect women, resulting in a strong patriarchal structure. The joint family system places the eldest male as the protector for all members, giving women security in basic needs and housing. This differs from Indonesia, where Muslim communities tend to provide women with greater equality and autonomy. Using a qualitative descriptive method through field and literature research, this study finds that women in Pakistan’s joint family system receive broader support when husbands are absent or irresponsible. In contrast, women in nuclear families—common in Indonesia—often face greater vulnerability due to limited family assistance. While the joint family system enhances women’s protection, it also reinforces dependence on male authority.

Abstract

This study explores how the tharîqah khalwatiyah samman integrates social, spiritual, and religious life amid the pressures of modernity, which often promote individualism and weaken communal ties. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research examines the experiences of the mursyid, khalîfahs, and members, supported by observations of rituals and community activities. Findings show that integration unfolds on three levels. Spiritually, collective dzikr, wirid, and Qur’anic recitation cultivate inner awareness and a shared sense of devotion. Socially, gotong royong, community service, and mutual support strengthen solidarity and cohesion. Institutionally, the tarekat extends its influence through education, charity, and moral guidance, allowing its values to reach the broader community. Interpreted through Talcott Parsons’ structural functionalism, the order operates as an adaptive system that maintains core values while fostering social harmony. Overall, the tharîqah khalwatiyah samman exemplifies a living synthesis of Sufi spirituality and communal ethics in contemporary Indonesian Islam.

Abstract

This study examines the contextual Qur’anic interpretation developed by Ahmad Sonhaji and its influence on Muslim identity formation within Singapore’s multicultural and secular social order. As a prominent religious scholar, Sonhaji articulates pluralism as part of divine ordinance, emphasizing justice, coexistence, and ethical engagement with religious diversity. Employing a qualitative research design, this study combines textual analysis of Sonhaji’s tafsir writings with semi-structured interviews involving Islamic educators in Singapore to assess the transmission and reception of his interpretive framework within Islamic educational institutions.““The findings demonstrate that Sonhaji’s contextual tafsir offers a locally grounded yet theologically coherent approach that reconciles Islamic normative teachings with the realities of plural society. His interpretation reinforces Muslim identity not through exclusivism, but through ethical responsibility, civic engagement, and interfaith respect. Integrated into both formal curricula and digital learning platforms, his ideas encourage critical thinking and participatory religious understanding, particularly among younger Muslims. This study argues that Sonhaji’s work represents an important model of localized Qur’anic scholarship that contributes to contemporary tafsir studies and Muslim minority discourse. It highlights the significance of context-sensitive interpretation in enabling Muslim communities to navigate diversity while maintaining religious authenticity.

Abstract

Consumption constitutes a central aspect of daily life, in which individuals are required to evaluate the appropriateness of products, particularly in relation to ethical and religious considerations such as halal compliance. This study analyzes how literacy of halal products can strengthen or weaken the relationship between economic factors and consumer preferences for the demand for halal food products among the Nahdatul Ulama Muslimat, Tasikmalaya City, West Java administrators. We used a sample of 100 women registered in Nahdlatul Ulama organizations in Tasikmalaya. In this study, the average age of the sample is 49, with an average education of 11.45 years, or equivalent to senior high school. We conducted data analysis using the ordered probit method. Meanwhile, the ordered probit estimation results show that halal literacy predicts increased demand for halal products due to cognitive aspects in consumption decision-making. However, income and religious beliefs also influence demand. The study also shows a positive relationship between price and demand, contradicting the conventional law of supply and demand in microeconomics. The study has limitations, including insufficient consideration of socio-demographic variables and product specifications, necessitating further research to gain a comprehensive understanding.

Abstract

This study investigates how collective consciousness is framed by religious moderation activists and how false consciousness emerges within Indonesia’s religious moderation movement. Using a qualitative comparative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and secondary sources in North Sumatra and North Sulawesi. Findings reveal that collective consciousness is framed through political discourse, theological narratives, cultural references, and memories of conflict and injustice. In North Sumatra, theological framing is dominant, producing a fragmented harmony that is institutionally grounded yet exclusive. By contrast, North Sulawesi demonstrates performative harmony, emphasizing universal slogans while denying latent conflicts. Despite these contextual differences, both regions sustain harmony through forms of false consciousness—maintaining peace by avoiding open confrontation rather than fostering genuine negotiation.

Abstract

Religious traditions in contemporary societies are increasingly shaped by reflexivity, individual choice, and engagement with secular rationalities. This article analyses Sufism as a form of Islamic spirituality that negotiates these conditions by offering alternative configurations of subjectivity and meaning. Through a critical reading of Sufi philosophical and ethical texts, the study argues that Sufi epistemology challenges modern rationalist frameworks by integrating intellectual reasoning with experiential knowledge (‘irfân). Practices such as ascetic discipline (zuhd) and spiritual self-examination are examined as techniques for cultivating reflexive subjectivities oriented toward transcendence rather than consumption. The article further explores how Sufi ethical virtues, including gratitude (syukur) and contentment (qanâ‘ah), address affective dissatisfaction characteristic of late-modern life. At the communal level, Sufi ideals of altruism (îtsâr) are shown to foster relational identities that counter excessive individualisation. The article concludes that Sufism represents a dynamic spiritual tradition whose resources remain salient for understanding contemporary religious subjectivities and the ongoing negotiation between spirituality and modern rationality.
