Abstract

This paper aims to prove that the registration of marriages is one of the requirements  of marriage, which means unregistered marriagesare illegal. The basic reasonsfor this conclusion is two-fold. First, the Prophet Muhammad had commanded public notices of marriage (walimahan, iklan). The purpose of this public notice is to secure the rights of spouses so that couples can achieve the purpose of marriage: a harmonious family. In fact, public notices are means to achieve this. Thus a contextual change is possible to changes the legal form as a mean to achieve the objectives of the marriage. Registration of marriage (marriage certificate) is a kind of contextualization of the command for the public notice of marriage. This contextualization is necessary because it is more effective and efficient to guarantee the achievement of a harmonious family as the ultimate goal of marriage. Second, Indonesian citizens must obey the rules of registration of marriage as set out and defined in the Act no. 1 of 1974 on Marriage [Marriage Act], as it is an implication of the obligation to obey the government (uli al-amr). Therefore, Indonesian citizens  who do not comply with the contents of Marriage Act is disobeying the government.  Furthermore, the Indonesian government has the right to make rules for creating welfare for the community (mashlah), being Indonesian citizens. Consequently, citizens are required to obey rules set by the Indonesian government for the whole welfare of community, and it is clear that the purpose of registration of marriage is for welfare of Indonesian citizens

Abstract

Setiap manusia yang hidup di dunia ini semestinya mempunyai hak yang sama untuk mendapatkan  kebutuhan-kebutuhan dasarnya. Namun demikian realitasnya tidak seperti itu. Kelompokkelompok marginal seperti kelompok LGBT akan banyak mendapatkan diskriminasi. Bahkan pendiskriminasian itu sering dilegitimasi sebagai kutukan Tuhan di dunia. Tulisan ini akan mendiskusikan bagaimana Islam dan ummat Islam melihat fenomena homoseksualitas baik dari sisi teologis maupun sosiologisnya. Kelompok yang tidak setuju dengan keberadaan kaum gay ini, berargumen bahwa itu adalah penyimpangan sedangkan kelompok yang peduli melihat bahwa untuk menjadi gay, waria ataupun lesbi bukanlah pilihan dia tetapi itu juga  pemberian dari Tuhan,karena itu tidak adil jika mereka diperlakukan tidak adil dari apa yang terjadi pada mereka yang sebenarnya mereka tidak minta. Perbedaan ini tidak lepas dari pendekatan yang digunakan dalam memahami text-text keagamaan.

Abstract

The role of mass media is not only providing information to the public to fulfill their 'right to know' and 'right to expression', but also leading the creation of societies' images, myths, behavior, knowledge, even ideologies. Mass media produce new realities through texts, define facts or reality which amongst the semiotics such process is called creating the second reality from the first reality by the media. The media have created new realities in which men are portrayed as superior and engaging in all public spheres, whereas women are visualized as the weak. The production of mass media is also closely related to capitalist system of economy, which sometimes requires certain to become the victims; and women have been the victims in this capitalist system.

Abstract

Artikel ini membahas tentang kebebasan beragama bagi kelompok minoritas Muslim berdasarkan gender di Indonesia. Kelompok minoritas sering mengalami permasalahan untuk dapat mengakses hak-haknya sebagai warga negara. Transgender merupakan salah satu kelompok minoritas berdasarkan gender yang sering mengalami permasalahan tersebut. Hak beragama merupakan salah satu hak sipil yang dimiliki oleh setiap warga negara. Namun, keberadaan transgender belum sepenuhnya diterima oleh seluruh lapisan masyarakat di Indonesia, khususnya masyarakat Muslim, maka mereka terhambat untuk dapat mengekspresikan keyakinan agama mereka. Faktanya, transgender itu ada dalam kehidupan sosial. Fenomena tersebut juga sudah ada ketika zaman pra-Islam ataupun zaman Nabi Muhammad SAW. Ayat-ayat Al Qur’an yang dijadikan inspirasi untuk mendefinisikan transgender adalah QS. Al Hajj: 5 dan QS. An-Nur: 31. Sedangkan dalam hadith juga ada penjelasan tentang transgender, pada kisah transgender dan istri-istri Nabi. Sehingga Fiqh, sebagai landasan hukum dalam Islam juga memberikan penjelasan tentang peribadatan yang terkait dengan transgender. Term yang disebutkan dalam Fiqh untuk istilah transgender adalah khuntha dan mukhannath. Akan tetapi dalam sebagian besar penjelasan mengenai transgender dari para Ulama Muslim, sering melupakan kondisi psikis yang dialami oleh transgender. Seseorang tidak bisa dengan mudah memahami kondisi yang dialami oleh transgender. Untuk memahami transgender, seseorang tidak cukup hanya melihat dari aspek fisik saja, tetapi perlu menelaah aspek psikologis dan biologis dari transgender tersebut.[This article explains the religious freedom for Muslim minority group based on the gender in Indonesia. The minority groups usually face some obstacle to access their rights as a citizen. Transgender as one of a minority group based on the gender and they usually face that problem. The religious rights include to the civil rights and all of the citizen should have it. However, the existence of transgender in the social community cannot be accepted yet by the Indonesia society, especially Muslim society. So, it causes the difficulties for them to express their belief. In fact, transgender exists in social life. This phenomenon has been existing since the pre-Islamic era or the era of the Prophet Muhammad. There several verses of Qur’an explain about transgender, such as QS. Al-Hajj: 5 and QS. An-Nur: 31. Moreover, the explanation about transgender also exists in hadith, in the story of transgender and Prophet’s wives. Therefore, Fiqh as a fundamental of Islamic law also explains how transgender does their pray. In Fiqh of Islam, transgender is called as khuntha and mukhannath. But in most of the explanations about transgender from Muslim scholars, they often forget about the psychological conditions of transgender. People cannot easily understand the condition of transgender. Therefore, to understand their condition, it is not enough by seeing them only from the physical aspect, but we need to understand their psychological and biological conditions.]

Abstract

This article discusses the issue of women in the family with respects to inheritance. In this context, what is discussed are contemporary thoughts, with the hopes of achieving new ideas. The formulation of 2:1 ratio for men  and women are seen by classical ulama(s) as something final. In the words of Al-Jabiri, this view is counterintuitive to textual understanding. In his perspective, this formula could still change, due to the trans-historic nature of  the application of the Quran. This view is in contrast to the burhani school of thought. With many social changes in society, it could very well be that women could receive more inheritance than men.

Abstract

Majority of conventional scholars almost never questioned of status of women's testimony stated Al-Baqarah (2): 282, that the testimony of women is only a half of that men. However, majority of contemporary scholars have different view. They argue that what has been stated in the verse has to be interpreted contextually. The paper tries to describe the different view of the conventional and contemporary scholars, why it happens, and what kind of interpretation seems to be suitable for nowadays. What have been found is that the different opinion between conventional and contemporary scholars appears seems to be due to different context and method of interpretation. Conventional scholar more textual in interpretation while contemporary one more contextual. This different method happens due to the different demand. The conventional scholar was able to apply easily and no difficulty what is stated in Al-Baqarah (2): 282 without cantextualization, while contemporary scholars need context. Moreover, applicable conceptand it is more guarantee justice for nowadays is that the testimony of men in general manner is equal of that woman. Since, generally speaking, men and women play equal role in all aspect of life; family, society and state. The conclusionis found by using contextual approach and put nomative-universal nash more and before pratice-temporal. nash, while Al-Baqarah (2): 282 is included in practice-temporal nash. In another words, what has been stated in al-Baqaroh (2):282 is more contextual than normative. Therefore, different context automatically produces different concept.

Abstract

The future of a nation, including Indonesia, can be predicted from the current condition of its children. A nation may have a good vision of their future if children are living in a good life, in a good health whether physically or psychologically, and free from any violence. In contrast, if the current condition of children is bad, such as what we find in Indonesia which is among the eight most populous Muslim countries, we may be pesimistics over the future of our nation. Children experiencing violences one after another particularly in Muslim counries intrigues our conscience whether there is something wrong in our understanding over religious texts, hadits in this context. Hadits has been taken as a religious source for raising children, for education as well as development of children's future. Presumably incorrect understanding of hadits on children raising and education has provoked violence on them. This article seeks to present better understanding of several prophetic traditions on children issues, and to promote the messages of the Prophet Muhammad to rectify the quality of children.

Abstract

Gender sebagai sebuah diskursus perkembangan pemikiran yang baru hadir mewarnai kajian keislaman termasuk dalam hal ini kajian hadis. Kenyataan tersebut setidaknya dapat dilihat dalam kajian yang berada di jurnal-jurnal PTKI secara umum maupun jurnal-jurnal yang dibawah Pusat Studi Gender/Wanita. Kajian gender dalam hadis mengikuti pola yang ada dalam kajian studi hadis secara umum yang meliputi tiga bentuk utama yakni kajian ilmu hadis, penelitian hadis dan pemaknaan hadis berikut perkembangannya. Demikian juga kajian hadis dan gender di dalamnya berisikan fenomena keilmuan atas gender dan hadis, penelitian atas hadis dan kitab-kitabnya serta pemahaman hadis tertentu baik dalam dimensi teks-teks dalam hadis maupun non teks yang berada di masyarakat yang dikenal dengan living hadis. Apa yang digagas dalam pemahaman hadis dan gender ini sebenarnya adalah mengembalikan ruh ajaran Islam sesuai dengan al-Qur’an dan hadis. Walaupun ada yang menolak keberadaan gender dalam tradisi Islam, maka dimensi keberadaan persamaan laki-laki dan perempuan merupakan dimensi yang diajarkan dalam Islam. Secara tidak langsung, maka kajian gender dan hadis merupakan upaya untuk menghidupkan misi kenabian Muhammad saw. yang sangat menjunjung perempuan. Perempuan dan laki-laki memilki relasi yang sama di hadapan Allah swt.[Gender is as a discourse of thought development, its contemporary discourse gives a new contribution to Islamic studies, including the study of hadith. This phenomenon is reflected both in several studied of PTKI’s journals in general and journals under supervision of Women/Gender Studies Center. Gender studies in the hadith adopt the study of hadith’s current pattern. In general, there are three main forms of its pattern; the study of hadith, the research of hadith, the interpretation of hadith and its development. Similarly with the study of hadith and gender, inside of them contains about the phenomena of science toward gender and hadith, the research about hadith and its books, and understanding of specific hadith based on text and non-text dimensions inside of society, known as living hadith. The purpose of hadith and gender studies is actually to reconstruct Islamic studies based on Al-Qur’an and hadith. Even though, there are some groups refuse the existence of gender in Islamic tradition, it reminds the same that Islam teaches there is equality dimension of men and women. Indirectly, the study of gender and hadith are an effort to revive the mission of Prophet Muhammad SAW which uphold women’s rights. Women and man have the same relation in front of Allah SWT.]

Abstract

Judul : Citra Perempuan dalam Islam: Pandangan Ormas KeagamaanPenulis   : JamhariPenerbit  : Gramedia Pustaka UtamaCetakan  : April 2003Jumlah Halaman : 175halaman  Al-Qur’an telah menegaskan bahwa kedudukan semua manusia di hadapan Allah adalah sama, baik itu laki-laki maupun perempuan, baik itu kaya maupun miskin, baik itu pejabat atau rakyat jelata sekalipun, baik itu tua maupun muda dan seterusnya. Lalu dimanakah perbedanaanya? Hanya ketaqwaannyalah yang membedakan antara manusia yang satu dengan manusia yang lainnya, termasuk dalam hal ini adalah antara laki-laki maupun perempuan. Segala sesuatu yang bisa dilakukan oleh laki-laki bisa dilakukan oleh perempuan, kecuali membuahi. Begitupun sebaliknya, segala sesuatu yang bisa dilakukan oleh perempuan bisa dilakukan oleh laki-laki, kecuali menyusui dan melahirkan. Islam menyeterakan kedudukan antara laki-laki dan perempuan dalam segala hal, termasuk dalam ranah politik sekalipun

Abstract

This article addresses the issues of child marriages from the perspective of an activist in women's empowerment. The practice of child marriage has become a medium for institutionalizingviolence against women. This is because the practice has violated some basic human's rights of young girls; such as their rights to education, to have opinion and to express their thoughts, to have their thoughts be heard, to rest and play, and to grow fully and be prgtected.
