Abstract

Climate change and ecological disasters have significant impacts on women’s lives, particularly in the context of the Lapindo mudflow. This study aims to uncover the resilience experiences of women affected by the disaster, their strategies in coping with the crisis, and the role of gender in public policy. The research employs a qualitative approach with an ecofeminist perspective to highlight the social, economic, health, environmental, cultural, and spiritual experiences of affected women. Analysis was conducted to examine the resilience strategies implemented, ranging from strengthening social solidarity, engaging in microeconomic activities, maintaining health, managing the environment, to practicing cultural and spiritual traditions. The findings indicate that: (1) women face complex disaster impacts, including loss of homes, forced relocation, social dislocation, difficulties in accessing public services, psychosocial pressures, and disruption of education and traditional practices; (2) women’s resilience strategies encompass social, economic, health, environmental, as well as cultural and spiritual aspects; (3) the study also found gender exclusion in decision-making and village deliberations, resulting in women’s voices often being marginalized; (4) the study recommends full participation of women in recovery processes and disaster policy formulation to ensure greater equity and inclusivity.

Abstract

This article examines Mama Aleta’s struggle within the theoretical framework of ecofeminism. Employing a qualitative literature review with an analytical-philosophical approach, the study draws on data from books, journals, articles, and credible online sources related to ecofeminism and Mama Aleta’s activism. The findings reveal that communities in Eastern Indonesia, particularly the Mollo people, hold a holistic and spiritual worldview in which nature is recognized as a sacred part of human existence. Nature is not perceived as a mere object of exploitation, but as a source of life, identity, and cultural continuity that must be safeguarded for future generations. Mama Aleta’s resistance to large-scale mining in Mollo territory symbolizes a profound ecofeminist consciousness: caring for the environment is inseparable from protecting human dignity and maintaining the integrity of God’s creation. Framed within Islamic ethical perspectives, this struggle aligns with the Qur’anic concept of humankind as khalīfah (trustees of the Earth), tasked with rejecting greed while upholding harmony between humans, nature, and the Divine. The study thus argues that Mama Aleta’s activism represents a powerful articulation that the defense of nature is inherently a defense of life, particularly women’s lives, since environmental destruction disproportionately impacts women’s roles, bodies, and social realities.

Abstract

Minority religious communities often face significant challenges and social friction in various aspects of life. In Indonesia, several regions have a minority Muslim population; Mahakam Ulu Regency is one of them. This study aims to understand how the Islamic community in Mahakam Ulu Regency is undergoing religious rituals and living a life of religious tolerance. The research data consisted of primary and secondary data, with the primary data being semi-structured interviews conducted with several informants of Islamic religious leaders in Mahakam Ulu Regency. Meanwhile, secondary data is produced from reports of government agencies to meet the data needs of this study. The interview data were then processed using NVivo 12 Plus. The results of the study are divided into two sub-parts. In the first part, we map the secondary data obtained by identifying pockets of the Islamic population in each area of Mahakam Ulu Regency and then focusing on them. In the second part, we analyzed the strategies carried out by the Islamic community of Mahakam Ulu Regency so that they can continue to carry out religious rituals and can exist in a living social and economic life in Mahakam Ulu Regency. Some of the strategies carried out are by limiting the culture of worship by restricting loudspeakers used in mosques in Mahakam Ulu Regency, so that when the azan resounds, prayers are carried out without using a high volume of sound. Besides that, another strategy is to increase tolerance and concern for all elements of society, regardless of their religious background.

Abstract

Child marriage remains a complex socio-religious issue in Indonesia, including in regions with relatively high educational attainment such as Salatiga and Semarang Regency. While structural factors such as poverty and unintended pregnancy are frequently identified as primary drivers, the role of religious interpretation, particularly the understanding of hadith, has received insufficient critical examination. This study investigates the extent to which interpretive bias in selected Prophetic traditions contributes to the legitimation of underage marriage. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis involving eight individuals who entered marriage below the legally prescribed age. The findings indicate three principal factors underlying child marriage: (1) premarital relationships leading to pregnancy, (2) economic vulnerability, and (3) textualist readings of hadith concerning the exhortation for youth to marry and the narration of ʿĀʾishah’s marriage. The study argues that such readings reflect an interpretive bias rooted in a decontextualized textual approach that overlooks historical contingencies and the higher objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-sharīʿah). The persistence of child marriage, when grounded in literalist religious interpretation, risks generating long-term social and psychological consequences within marital life. This article, therefore, calls for a contextual and maqāṣid-oriented re-examination of relevant hadith, alongside strengthened dissemination of national marriage law, in order to align religious understanding with the normative principle of public welfare (maṣlaḥah).

Abstract

This article examines Kitab Kuning manuscripts preserved in Javanese–Penginyongan pesantren from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century (1890s–1970s) through a codicological and philological lens. It identifies two dominant textual formations: localized adaptations of authoritative Islamic works from the wider Sunni canon, and original compositions by indigenous ulama crafted to address regional pedagogical needs, linguistic sensibilities, and socio-religious realities. Covering major fields of Islamic learning, such as tafsir, fiqh, kalam, and tasawwuf, the manuscript corpus demonstrates a vibrant and plural intellectual ecology within rural pesantren culture. Detailed codicological analysis of script styles, ink composition, paper provenance, bindings, colophons, marginalia, and Arabic–Pegon bilingualism reveals not only material practices of manuscript production, but also modes of transmission, annotation, and pedagogical use. These features illuminate how texts were read, taught, and recontextualized across generations of santri and teachers. The study argues that Penginyongan pesantren functioned as dynamic nodes of Islamic knowledge-making, actively mediating between transregional Islamic scholarship and local epistemic frameworks. In doing so, they contributed decisively to the vernacularization, continuity, and hybridity of Islamic textual traditions within the broader Nusantara scholarly network.
Tracing Aḥmad al-Ṣāwī’s Sunni Theological Thought (1761–1825) in Ḥāshiyat al-Ṣāwī ʿalā Tafsīr al-Jalālayn Abdul Waris Marsyam; Makmur

Abstract

This article examines Aḥmad al-Ṣāwī’s articulation of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamāʿah theology in his Ḥāshiyat al-Ṣāwī ʿalā Tafsīr al-Jalālayn. Living during the transition from late premodern Islamic traditionalism to the modern period, al-Ṣāwī witnessed the emergence of the Wahhābī movement in the Arabian Peninsula, which he sharply criticized and associated with the Khawārij. In his gloss, al-Ṣāwī addresses fundamental theological questions and engages critically with other schools of kalām. Employing a descriptive-analytical method, this study argues that al-Ṣāwī adopted a firm position in defending the doctrines of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamāʿah against two perceived extremes: radical textualism, represented in his account by Wahhābism, and ultra-rationalist liberalism, associated with Muʿtazilism and neo-Muʿtazilism, as well as the intellectual and political influence of French colonialism. The Ḥāshiyah affirms a broad range of Sunni doctrinal principles encompassing both foundational doctrines (uṣūl) and subsidiary questions (furūʿ). Its principal theological concerns include the doctrine of God, prophethood, and eschatology. Moreover, al-Ṣāwī’s commitment to the four Sunni legal schools, rejection of rigidly literalist exegesis, strong criticism of what he regarded as modern Khārijism, employment of taʾwīl and tafwīḍ, and defense of established Sunni religious practices collectively constitute a distinctive articulation of Sunnism in early nineteenth-century Egypt.

Abstract

This article examines Mahmud Yunus’s Tafsir Qur’an Karim in order to explore the meanings of “Indonesianness” embedded in his ways of understanding, interpreting, and contextualizing the Qur’anic text. The study employs a qualitative approach in the form of library research, using Tafsir Qur’an Karim as the primary source and supported by works on Mahmud Yunus’s intellectual biography, Nusantara exegesis, and contextual–humanistic theories of interpretation. Data were collected through systematic identification, classification, and coding of exegetical passages related to the themes of education, poverty, family livelihood, nationalism, social justice, and the management of religious and social diversity. Content analysis is combined with a hermeneutical–contextual reading in order to examine the relationship between the exegetical text, the socio-historical context of early twentieth-century Indonesia, and the contemporary needs of Indonesian society. The findings show that Mahmud Yunus constructs an exegetical approach characterized by social engagement, rationality, and communicative clarity, through which the Qur’an is presented as an ethical–practical guide for the Indonesian socio-national project. This project emphasizes education, diligence, family responsibility, social solidarity, and religious moderation. The study thus affirms the continuing relevance of Mahmud Yunus’s exegetical legacy for strengthening contemporary Indonesian discourses on Islam, nationalism, and social justice.
The Prophetic Work Ethos in Oemar Bakry’s al-Aḥādīth al-Ṣaḥīḥah (1938): Re-evaluating Hadith Commentary for Contemporary Professionalism Jannatul Husna; Nelli Yendena; Nik Mohd Zaim Ab Rahim; Siti Nora’aeshah binti Zakaria

Abstract

Amid the ethical ambiguities often encountered in modern workspaces, there is a critical need to rediscover indigenous moral frameworks. This article examines the construction of the prophetic work ethos in the thought of Oemar Bakry (1916–1985), a prominent Minangkabau scholar-merchant whose work bridged classical tradition and modern life. Centering on his 1938 work, al-Aḥādīth al-Ṣaḥīḥah, this study employs a qualitative approach using content analysis to re-evaluate Bakry’s interpretation of ḥadīth considering contemporary professional challenges. The research identifies that Bakry formulated a multidimensional prophetic work ethos comprising sincerity, persistence, transcendental professionalism, and pioneering benevolence. This study argues that while these ideas emerged in the early twentieth century, they provide a robust ethical anchor for navigating the disruptions of Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0. By synthesizing material productivity with an eschatological orientation, Bakry’s framework offers a transformative model for enhancing Muslims’ bargaining position in the global arena. The findings conclude that reintegrating this prophetic work ethos is not merely a nostalgic endeavor but a strategic necessity for fostering ethical resilience and professional integrity in the contemporary digital age.

Abstract

This study examines the understanding of Islam Wasathiyah from the perspective of Acehnese dayah ulama and explores its negotiation with the state-promoted discourse of religious moderation. Although religious moderation is widely promoted to encourage inclusive and peaceful Islam, the terminology has encountered resistance among dayah ulama in Aceh. This study aims to analyze how Islam Wasathiyah is interpreted within dayah scholarly traditions and to investigate the negotiation between local Islamic traditions and national religious discourse. Employing a qualitative fieldwork-based approach, the study draws on in-depth interviews, limited observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that dayah ulama reject the term “religious moderation” due to its perceived ideological and political connotations. Nevertheless, they substantively embrace and practice these core values through the concept of Islam Wasathiyah, which is rooted in the tradition of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama‘ah. In this context, Islam Wasathiyah functions as a dialectical bridge that mediates between local Islamic authority and national religious discourse. This study highlights the importance of cultural sensitivity, linguistic framing, and local religious authority in articulating moderate Islam within the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Contemporary Islamic bioethics has largely evolved through case-based juridical responses, resulting in perceptions of fragmentation and limited theoretical integration within the global bioethical discourse. This article addresses the epistemic gap underlying this condition by proposing a structural reconstruction of Islamic bioethics, inspired by Imre Lakatos’s Methodology of Scientific Research Programs (MSRP). The study aims to demonstrate how Islamic bioethics can be conceptualized not merely as a collection of fatwas, but also as a coherent normative research program with an identifiable theoretical core and adaptive methodological mechanisms. Through normative-philosophical and conceptual analyses grounded in Islamic legal theory and the philosophy of science, the paper maps key components of Islamic ethical reasoning onto categories derived from Lakatos. Findings indicate that Islamic bioethics maintains a stable hard core rooted in theological-ontological commitments such as the sanctity of life and the prohibition of harm, while tools of ijtihād, including maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, legal maxims, and doctrines of necessity, serve as a dynamic protective belt. Furthermore, the structure of ḍarūriyyāt al-khams functions heuristically in both affirmative (wujūdan) and preventive (ʿadaman) modes, guiding ethical innovation while safeguarding foundational commitments. This reconstruction repositions Islamic bioethics as a progressive normative program capable of systematic development, thereby enhancing its methodological legitimacy and fostering a more balanced engagement with global bioethical frameworks, without compromising its normative identity.
