Abstract

This article examines the interplay between commerce, cultural practices, and Islamic values in the seventeenth-century Banten Sultanate. While previous studies emphasize Banten’s position in global trade, insufficient attention has been given to the role of local socio-cultural norms in shaping its economic system. This study addresses that gap by exploring how indigenous traditions and Islamic teachings informed commercial behavior and contributed to Banten’s economic identity.“Using historical methods, the research analyzes primary sources, including European travel accounts (Portuguese, Dutch, and British) and local manuscripts such as Hikayat Hasanuddin. An interdisciplinary framework combining political economy and historical anthropology is employed to interpret the relationship between global trade dynamics and local institutions.“The findings show that Banten functioned as a major regional trading hub for spices, textiles, and other commodities, supported by a bazaar-based system embedded in a hierarchical socio-economic order. Political elites and merchant groups played key roles in regulating trade. Cultural practices such as the Mulud festival and kaget markets demonstrate the integration of economic life with Islamic and Javanese values. Encounters with European traders generated both tensions and adaptive responses within the commercial sphere.

Abstract

This article examines the role of Islamic academic libraries in representing and reconstructing local cultural heritage, with particular reference to Penginyongan culture in Banyumas, Central Java. Amid the pressures of globalization and cultural homogenization, the preservation of local identity increasingly intersects with Islamic institutional frameworks. This study aims to analyze how cultural representation is produced, negotiated, and legitimized within an Islamic epistemic context. Employing a qualitative interpretive case study at the UIN SAIZU Library, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The analysis draws on Stuart Hall’s theory of representation and Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of cultural capital, contextualized within Islamic principles of knowledge preservation (hifzh at-turâts) and public benefit (mashlahah). The findings reveal three key dynamics: first, library collections serve as institutional mechanisms that legitimize Penginyongan culture within academic and religious discourse; second, curatorial and spatial practices reflect a dialogical integration of Islamic values and local wisdom; and third, these practices facilitate the reconstruction of cultural identity across diverse audiences. This study argues that Islamic academic libraries function as cultural intermediaries that actively shape meaning, strengthen cultural resilience, and redistribute cultural capital among marginalized communities.

Abstract

This study examines the shifting role of the surau within Minangkabau society in West Sumatra, where it once functioned as a central institution for worship, learning, and the moral formation of young men. Traditionally anchored in the authority of the buya, the surau embodied a living synthesis of Islamic teaching and customary values. Drawing on field-based research, including in-depth interviews with religious scholars, customary leaders, and cultural experts, this study traces a significant transformation in its contemporary meaning. The findings suggest that the gradual detachment of the surau from the figure of the buya has eroded its philosophical and cultural significance, reducing it to a largely symbolic or physical space. This shift is closely linked to the diversification of Islamic educational orientations and the growing influence of local political dynamics. As a result, the surau no longer operates as a formative cultural institution, raising broader questions about continuity, authority, and identity in Minangkabau society.

Abstract

Contemporary discourse on Islamic education in Aceh has predominantly centered on institutional reform and curricular adjustment, yet it has insufficiently addressed the deeper epistemic rupture underlying the crisis of adab, the erosion of pedagogical relationships, and the superficiality of learning processes. The historical marginalization of rangkang—often reduced to a merely descriptive artifact—reveals a conceptual void in understanding the foundational structure of Acehnese local pedagogy. This study reconstructs rangkang as a constitutive element of the Acehnese epistemic prototype through a qualitative historical–conceptual approach grounded in the analysis of manuscripts, colonial archives, classical texts, and contemporary scholarly works. The findings demonstrate that rangkang functioned as an integral epistemic infrastructure, integrating relational-humanistic pedagogy, dialogical and gradual (slow) learning, and the principle of adab qabl al-‘ilm in the formation of knowledge. Rather than a peripheral component, rangkang served as a structural nexus ensuring continuity between intellectual tradition, social order, and spiritual discipline. This study contributes to the scholarship on Islamic education by formulating rangkang as a local epistemic prototype that challenges institutionalist paradigms and offers a model of Islamic education that is tradition-rooted yet globally resonant.

Abstract

Contemporary scholarship on Islamic moderation has largely emphasized normative doctrines, state policies, and institutional reforms, while paying limited attention to the historical social processes through which moderation emerged in post-conflict Muslim societies. This article examines the reconstruction of religious authority and social reconciliation in Minangkabau following the Padri War (1830–1869), focusing on the role of Surau Calau as a center of intellectual and social transformation. Employing a social-historical approach combined with philological analysis of Jawi manuscripts, the study investigates the interaction between the surau institution, local textual traditions, and the leadership of Sheikh Abdul Wahab Calau in shaping a contextually grounded model of Islamic authority. The findings identify three interconnected processes. First, Surau Calau functioned as an inclusive social space that fostered hybrid religious authority and mediated post-war ideological divisions within Minangkabau society. Second, Jawi manuscripts facilitated intellectual vernacularization by translating Islamic metaphysical and ethical concepts into locally intelligible agrarian analogies, enhancing their cultural resonance and social acceptance. Third, reconciliation was institutionalized through collaboration between religious scholars and traditional chiefs in educational governance and communal rituals, creating a durable framework for social cohesion. The study argues that Islamic moderation emerged through negotiated authority, vernacular knowledge production, and cross-communal cooperation, offering broader insights into post-conflict reconciliation and religious coexistence in plural societies.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of Buatulo Toulongo as a local wisdom-based mechanism for countering religious radicalism in Gorontalo Province, Indonesia. The research addresses three questions: how the Buatulo Toulongo mechanism functions, what challenges threaten its sustainability, and how it can be revitalized as a strategy for promoting religious moderation. Using an institutional ethnography approach, the study was conducted in three regencies/municipalities through in-depth interviews, participant observation in fifteen mosques, and documentary analysis. The findings show that Buatulo Toulongo operates as a tripartite safeguard system at structural, cultural, and operational levels. Structurally, it creates checks and balances on religious authority; culturally, it transmits wasathiyyah values through local identity and communal traditions; operationally, it acts as an early warning system based on social capital and community networks. However, the mechanism faces significant challenges, including modernization, leadership regeneration crises, ideological competition, geographical vulnerability, and weak institutional support. The study concludes that revitalization requires integrated policy measures, including regional regulations, leadership cadre strengthening, curriculum integration, and gender inclusion. These findings highlight the strategic role of local wisdom in strengthening community resilience and advancing religious moderation in Indonesia.

Abstract

Arabic–Islamic literary traditions have played a significant role in shaping the development of Indonesian Islamic literature, influencing its themes, forms, language, and intellectual orientation. Although the Islamization of the Indonesian archipelago has received considerable scholarly attention, the literary dimensions of cultural transmission between Arabic and Indonesian texts remain insufficiently examined. This study explores how Arabic–Islamic literary traditions contributed to the formation and transformation of Indonesian Islamic literature from the fourteenth to the twenty-first century. Using a qualitative research design that integrates historical and intertextual approaches, the study analyzes selected classical and modern Indonesian literary works alongside representative Arabic–Islamic texts. The analysis focuses on three interrelated dimensions: thematic influence, linguistic and stylistic adaptation, and the transmission of Islamic ethical and spiritual values. The findings demonstrate that Arabic–Islamic literary influence extends beyond the borrowing of vocabulary or narrative motifs. Rather, it constitutes a continuous process of cultural translation and intellectual exchange through which Indonesian authors appropriated, reinterpreted, and localized Arabic literary models. This process is evident in the persistence of religious and Sufi themes, the adaptation of Arabic rhetorical and narrative conventions, and the internalization of adab as a moral and aesthetic framework. The study argues that Indonesian Islamic literature emerged through sustained transregional literary interactions that connected local literary creativity with broader Islamic intellectual networks, contributing to the formation of a unique literary tradition in the Malay-Indonesian world.
RECONFIGURING MUSLIM PIETY: From Urban Sufism to the Hijrah Movement in Contemporary Indonesia Rofhani Rofhani

Abstract

This article explores the shifting landscape of Muslim piety among Indonesia’s urban middle class through an analysis of three major waves: Urban Sufism, the hijaber community, and the hijrah movement. Drawing on theories of popular religion, ritual bricolage, and pious consumption, the study argues that contemporary piety is not a rupture from tradition but a reconfiguration shaped by digital media, moral capitalism, and symbolic authority. Employing a qualitative methodology that combines literature review, digital ethnography, and visual-narrative analysis, the article demonstrates how spiritual values are sustained through new forms of expression—ranging from motivational Islamic seminars and modest fashion to Instagram-based da‘wah and halâl branding. These developments reveal a dynamic process of religious subjectivation, where Islamic devotion becomes both a personal ethic and a social performance, closely tied to class aspirations, visual aesthetics, and market logic. The article contributes to current debates on digital religion by highlighting how Indonesian Muslims construct religiosity not only through textual interpretation, but also through visual symbols, emotionally connected communities, and commercial practices. In doing so, it challenges binary narratives of secularization versus religiosity and offers a nuanced framework for understanding continuity and change in contemporary Islamic expressions.

Abstract

While religious moderation has become a central discourse in Indonesia’s pluralistic society, existing studies have largely examined it through legal-political and institutional frameworks, leaving its spiritual-ethical dimension, particularly the role of Sufism (tasawuf), insufficiently explored. This study addresses this gap by examining how Sufi traditions serve as a conceptual and practical resource for constructing religious moderation at the grassroots level. Using a qualitative case study of the Majelis Pengkajian Tauhid Tasawuf Indonesia (MPTT-I) congregation in Aceh, this research employed purposive and snowball sampling to gather data from key informants, including Abuya Amran Wali Al-Khalidi, district leaders (wali nanggroe), and MPTT-I members. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, consisting of data collection, condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that MPTT-I integrates three major Sufi traditions, namely falsafi, sunni, and akhlaqi, into its spiritual teachings. These traditions form a moral-spiritual framework that nurtures religious moderation through values such as balance (tawâzun), acceptance of diversity, self-restraint, tolerance, compassion, and communal harmony. This study contributes by proposing a Sufism-based model of religious moderation, showing that moderation emerges not only from policy or doctrine but also from embodied spiritual practice.

Abstract

Informal Qardh al-Hasan funds represent an empirically understudied form of Islamic social finance, particularly in marginalized communities where formal financial institutions are inaccessible or perceived as religiously incongruent. This study examines the motivational architecture underlying participation in interest-free lending networks in Saravan, a marginalized district in Iran’s Sistan and Baluchistan province. Employing a sequential dual-method design, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted on survey data from 210 fund participants to identify six latent dimensions: communal trust and social capital; financial accessibility and incentive structures; institutional constraints and governance perceptions; collective solidarity and mutual support; religiosity and spiritual motivation; and personal embeddedness and local financial culture. Bayesian Network Analysis (BNA) subsequently modeled the probabilistic interdependencies among these dimensions. Findings indicate that institutional dissatisfaction and religious conviction jointly activate communal trust, which facilitates financial accessibility, collective solidarity, and local embeddedness. Religiosity does not operate primarily as a direct behavioral determinant; rather, it functions as moral infrastructure through which trust is generated and collective financial action sustained. By demonstrating how religious commitment interacts with institutional perceptions, social capital, and embeddedness, this study extends Institutional, Social Capital, and Embeddedness theories and offers policy implications for culturally and religiously responsive financial inclusion in marginalized communities.
