Abstract

This research aims to explore the manifestation of the immanent-transcendental relationship between Javanese individuals and their deity within their performance art songs. The analysis focused on Javanese scale settings known as pathet, as well as padhang-ulihan structures, which represent Javanese sentence styles in composition. These elements were examined to understand how the Javanese express their emotions and convey their thoughts to their deity. The data for this study were collected using ethnographic methods, including participant observation, in-depth interviews, and literature studies. The findings indicate that, as immanent beings, humans require symbols to communicate with their deities in the transcendental realm. Javanese people embody their way of life and perspectives on the universe through the melodies and song structures of Karawitan, a form of Javanese musical art. The analysis of pathet and padhang-ulihan reveals that Javanese individuals shape their worldview by selecting and playing pathet in conjunction with the coordinated construction of the padhang-ulihan model within a Karawitan musical notation.

Abstract

The study on the role of religious moderation in food consumption practices as a strategy to maintain environmental balance highlights the unique synergy between Islamic and Confucian values within the local context of Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. This article explores the moderate practices of Muslims and Confucians in Pontianak in valuing food to maintain environmental balance. More specifically, this article asks how Islamic and Confucian values of moderation are reflected and integrated into daily consumption practices to maintain environmental balance sustainably. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with informants representing Muslim and Confucian communities. The results show that both communities own environmentally friendly practices reflected in efforts to reduce food waste and control consumption. The concept of moderation and balance in Islam and Confucianism is the main foundation of this practice, as well as religious teachings, cultural norms, and ethical values. The findings suggest that environmental stewardship can be a point of convergence between religion and culture to maintain the sustainability of natural resources. These findings’ policy and conceptual implications can be used to promote awareness of environmental stewardship among Muslim and Confucian communities and develop inclusive sustainability strategies. Further studies can expand the scope and go deeper in understanding sustainable behavior in diverse cultural contexts.

Abstract

Islam-based local wisdom is unique because it represents a moderate religious path. This article analyzes how the moderate path works in the Jambi Malay traditional seloko. The Jambi Malay people have customs that guide their lives. By using a qualitative method based on content analysis, where data was collected by (1) reading Jambi Malay traditional seloko documents and (2) interviews with Jambi Malay traditional leaders, this study proves that Jambi Malay traditional seloko displays a harmonious dialogue between Islam and the locality. In the case of the seloko adat regarding washing the village (cuci kampung), for example, as a punishment for committing adultery, the discipline of stoning (rajm) or flogging (jild) as per Islamic law is not applied, even though it is said that the Jambi custom is a custom that originates from Islamic Law. In this case, the people of Jambi use a substitute punishment for stoning and flogging, which is marrying the two adulterers. The Islamic law based on the Qur’an and hadith textually is not applied as the Indonesian state is not based on sharia. It is a form of dialogue between Islam and Jambi local wisdom according to the concept of the moderate Islamic path. Apart from that, there are several other values, such as tolerance, democracy, and nationality. The findings of this study can strengthen the study of Islamic moderation in the context of local wisdom amidst various damaging accusations against local Islam as impure Islam.

Abstract

Building synergy between local culture and education is a strategic effort to create communities and families that have a strong identity, and are able to adapt to global dynamics. This article aims to analyze the implementation of Islamic education in the muallaf family of the Abun Tribe in Baun Village, Tambrauw, Southwest Papua who are a minority in their environment and tribe. The existence of inner conflicts, marginalized in social life, causing personal problems, even poverty, is a serious problem in the hearts of these seekers of God. This research uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Data were obtained through observations and interviews with informants from muallaf families. The results showed that the practice of religious education in the muallaf family of the Abun Tribe is still weak, so it really needs continuous guidance from various parties. Islamic education coaching based on local culture and tradition is one of the alternative choices to realize the ideal Islamic family, sakīnah, mawaddah wa raḥmah in the Abun muallaf family

Abstract

Traditions in religious life sometimes cause problems in society. The role of religious experts is very important in solving this problem. This study aims to analyze the tradition of larung Sesaji and the views of religious figures in Ponorogo regarding this procession. This study is qualitative research in which the data were collected from field research. For analysis, descriptive methods with a phenomenological approach are applied. The research results show that the tradition of larung sesaji in Ngebel Lake, with its various kinds of knick-knacks, is passed down from generation to generation as an accumulation of pre-Islamic customs. This tradition was originally a prayer for safety from the disaster caused by the supernatural ruler of Ngebel Lake. In response to this, the puritan Ulama in Ponorogo stated that larung sesaji is close to shirk (idolatry) and is considered ‘urf fāsid, so there is no need to practice it. While moderate ulama is more flexible, allowing the tradition to continue as usual while giving guidance so that any possibility of violations of the Shari’a can be anticipated; hence, it is considered ‘urf ṣaḥīḥ. However, as a consequence of the Constitutional Court Decision No. 97/PUU-XIV/2016 regarding believers with no belief to not include their religion on KTP (ID Card), people around Ngebel Lake have converted their faith (apostates). Eventually, this tradition and practice are beyond the authority of the MUI and ulama.

Abstract

Interethnic conflict in Sampit erupted amidst the post-Reformation era in Indonesia between the Madurese and Dayak people, which caused casualties and displacements. Peaceful coexistence is prevailing between both people in Sampit nowadays, but discussion about this reconciliation process is still rare, and its significance is in understanding the region’s transformation. This study evaluates the reconciliation process as a stepping stone toward positive peace by examining the reconciliation process of interethnic conflict in Sampit using Hamber’s model of reconciliation, exploring whether it supports conditions for positive peace. This study employs library research followed by descriptive qualitative analysis of existing literature, journal articles, reports, and documents on this case study. It argues that the Declaration of Tekad Damai Anak Bangsa operates as conflict resolution, with victory secured by the Dayak people as the indigenous people. The absence of truth-telling or mutual acknowledgment of events, compounded by the exodus of most Madurese, left reconciliation incomplete. Justice and litigation processes were passed to preserve the current non-conflict situation, resulting in a reconciliation dominated by the Dayak community. Although reconciliation has occurred at the leadership level among ethnic and government figures, critical grassroots issues like truth-telling, displacement, and justice remain unresolved. It has created a fragile peace, where lingering resentment and unresolved grievances could threaten the region’s stability. The study highlights the importance of addressing these underlying issues to transform the prevailing negative peace into sustainable positive peace.
