Abstract

The rise of popular Islamic media in the digital age has shifted the influence from traditional to popular religion, impacting society's mindset. Interestingly, the digital space is predominantly occupied by conservative and radical forms of Islam. In response, this study examines the strategies employed by moderate groups to promote religious moderation, particularly through the Islamic portal nu.or.id. This portal aims to provide reliable information about Nu-an and Islam. The study analyzes articles, concepts, and viewpoints published on the portal to evaluate their promotion of moderation. Jürgen Habermas' theory of communicative rationality is used to assess moderate tendencies, while essays on nu.or.id are evaluated based on truth, accuracy, and honesty. The study concludes that nu.or.id's efforts to promote religious moderation have a significant impact on filtering news content or thoughts that do not align with Islamic values. Writers consistently use logical and religious arguments to challenge the conservative-radical narrative of Islam. The strategy implemented by portals such as nu.or.id appears to resonate with middle-class Muslims, who are often targeted by fundamentalist groups. Therefore, targeting a general audience through nu.or.id is seen as a positive step.

Abstract

The ngumbah keris tradition is recognized as a practice aimed at warding off bad luck through a series of specific rituals that incorporate mantras and offerings. This study explores the responses of kiai langgar to the ngumbah keris ritual using ethnographic methodology. Data were collected through purposive sampling, in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation. The analysis adhered to Miles and Huberman's interactive model, which encompasses data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supplemented by triangulation to ensure both validity and reliability. Max Weber's theory of charismatic authority provided the theoretical framework for this study, which is crucial for understanding how kiai langgar exercise their authority to mediate between traditional practices and religious principles. This framework highlights a dualistic response: kiai langgar aligned with Nahdlatul Ulama view the ritual as a means of seeking divine blessings, provided it is in accordance with Islamic teachings. In contrast, kiai langgar associated with Muhammadiyah classify the ritual as bid'ah (innovation) and superstition. The findings indicate that the negotiation of religious and cultural values is significantly shaped by the charismatic authority of the kiai langgar, influencing community perceptions and practices. This study deepens the understanding of the complex interplay between traditional rituals and Islamic teachings within rural Javanese communities, underscoring the role of kiai langgar as cultural brokers and agents of social change.

Abstract

This article explores the contestation of religious identity at the Masjid Gedhe ‘Grand Mosque’ of Kauman Yogyakarta, a provincial cultural heritage site in Yogyakarta. The study focuses on two events between October 2019 and March 2020: the rejection of the Muslim United #2 event by the Keraton ‘Palace’ and the refusal by the local Kauman community to hold a Nahdhatul Ulama anniversary at the mosque. The series of events can be read as an effort by each party to contest the power they have. This research is a descriptive study guided by a constructivist research philosophy and historical approach, which focuses on understanding cultural identity through the lens of social context. The study employs a combination of primary sources, such as photo archives and documents, alongside secondary sources, including articles from online news portals, to analyze two specific events. Data is collected through these sources and analyzed using Stuart Hall's cultural identity theory, providing a framework for interpreting the findings and examining how religious identity is contested at the Masjid Gedhe Kauman Yogyakarta. The result highlights how the Masjid Gedhe Kauman Yogyakarta became a contested space for religious identity between different groups, with each event reflecting ongoing power dynamics and cultural negotiations. The rejection of both the Muslim United #2 and the NU Anniversary events illustrates how identity is shaped and contested through representation and authority, where power structures, both institutional and community-based, played key roles in defining the mosque's religious and cultural identity.

Abstract

This study seeks to analyze the business performance of batik traders in the Johar Baru market of Semarang City, focusing on Javanese Islamic trade culture as an integral aspect of Javanese culture. This culture is characterized by three essential traits: harmonious, functional structural, and transcendental. The application of these characteristics draws from local wisdom rather than directly from the Qur'an or Hadith; however, upon closer examination, they do not contradict Islamic teachings. Thus, the business performance of batik traders in Johar market effectively reflects Javanese Islamic ethical values in trade. Employing qualitative research methods with a single case study design, the analysis followed the framework proposed by Miles and Huberman, which encompasses data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification. Informants were selected through purposive sampling techniques, which included in-depth interviews, documentation review, and focus group discussions. The study revealed that the moral attitudes and business performance ethos of batik traders in the Johar market are grounded in these three characteristics of Javanese cultural moral values: harmonious, functional structural, and transcendental. The identification of their performance is illustrated through various concepts that form several propositions. These findings culminated in the development of a new mini-theory termed the "Religiosity of Sustainable Javanese Trade Performance". This theory comprises four key steps: harmonization of the environment, harmonization of society and government, fostering friendliness and honesty, and implementing educational marketing strategies. These four steps embody moral values rooted in Islamic Shari'a and are scientifically valid as indicators of Javanese Islamic trade performance.

Abstract

The Lamaholot local wisdom encapsulated in the phrase /koda kirin nulun walen melan senaren/ transcends mere kinship expressions. This phrase serves as a guiding principle for the Lamaholot community in East Flores Regency, particularly in fostering the values of religious moderation. This research aims to investigate how this Lamaholot expression aids in internalizing religious moderation values in Pepakgeka Village. The study employs a descriptive field research methodology with an ethnographic approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. Analysis was conducted using Huberman and Miles' framework, which includes phases of data collection, data condensation, and conclusion drawing. The research was carried out from August to October 2024. The results indicate that the local wisdom /koda kirin nulun walen melan senaren/ is effective in promoting the values of religious moderation. The essence of local wisdom is communicated through advice shared in speech (koda kirin) and through actions (nulun walen), enabling the Lamaholot people to aspire to be virtuous individuals (melan senaren). The foundation of religious moderation within the Lamaholot community is deeply embedded in local wisdom, including the expression /koda kirin nulun walen melan senaren/, which has been upheld since ancient times and is reflected in their everyday speech and behavior.

Abstract

This article investigates the legal implications of necrophilia within the framework of Islamic law, specifically addressing whether such acts can be categorized as zinā ‘adultery’. The primary aim of this research is to analyze how Islamic teachings interpret and regulate sexual relations with deceased individuals, with a focus on the fundamental principles of human dignity and sanctity. Utilizing a qualitative method alongside a case study approach, this study involves a comprehensive review of Islamic texts, legal cases, and scholarly interpretations. The data sources encompass Islamic literature, the Qur'an, Hadith, and legal references, including scientific journals and academic books. The theoretical framework is anchored in the concepts of maqāşid syarī’ah, particularly the preservation of religion ‘ḥifẓ al-dīn’, intellect ‘ḥifẓ al-aql’, and life ‘ḥifẓ al-nafs’. The findings indicate that necrophilia is regarded as a serious violation under Islamic law, representing a breach of both moral and legal standards, which results in stringent penalties. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of upholding the dignity of the human body after death, as mandated by Islamic law. This research contributes by clarifying how Islamic law addresses necrophilia and reinforcing societal norms related to the sanctity of life and death.
The Purposes of Marriage and its Hierarchy according to Al-Ghazālī on the Iḥyā’ Ulūm al-Dīn based on Mubādalah Perspective Heru Susanto; Abdul Ghofur; Abu Rokhmad; Agustina Kumala Dewi Sholihah

Abstract

Al-Ghazālī is recognized as a distinguished scholar who adeptly integrates the principles of fiqh ‘Islamic jurisprudence’ with tasawwuf ‘Islamic mysticism’, achieving a balance between naqlī ‘transmitted knowledge’ and 'aqlī ‘rational knowledge’, as articulated in his seminal work, Iḥyā' 'Ulūm al-Dīn. However, his perspectives on women's issues, particularly regarding the purpose of marriage, have been characterized as non-moderate, prompting some scholars to label him a misogynist. This study aims to elucidate and analyze Al-Ghazālī's views on the purpose of marriage and its hierarchical structure through the lens of Mubādalah ‘reciprocity’. This research employs qualitative literature review methodologies supported by a philosophical framework. Primary data are sourced from Al-Ghazālī's works, namely Iḥyā' 'Ulūm al-Dīn and Kasr al-Shahwatain. Secondary data encompass a range of academic books, journal articles, and additional references that substantiate the research findings. The collected data are subjected to descriptive-analytical techniques for thorough review and analysis. The research outcomes indicate the following: First, Al-Ghazālī highlights the hierarchy of marriage purposes grounded in the levels of maqāṣid al-syarī’ah, which consist of ḍarūriyāt ‘necessities’, ḥājiyāt ‘needs’, and taḥsīniyāt ‘desirables’. Second, from the perspective of Mubādalah, Al-Ghazālī's views on the purpose of marriage, as presented in Iḥyā' 'Ulūm al-Dīn, do not align with the principles of Mubādalah and exhibit gender bias. This misalignment is evident in several aspects: (1) At the pre-marriage stage, Al-Ghazālī positions men as the decision-makers in the selection of a spouse, while women are relegated to the status of the chosen objects. (2) There exists an incongruity between the hierarchy of marriage goals from Al-Ghazālī's perspective and the principles of Mubādalah. (3) Al-Ghazālī delineates the husband-wife relationship within a superior-inferior framework. (4) He emphasizes the roles of women primarily within domestic spheres. Al-Ghazālī's views are undoubtedly shaped by the socio-historical context of his era, as well as his identity as a şūfi. This research aspires to contribute to the discourse surrounding the evolution of Islamic family law legislation, advocating for the recognition and safeguarding of women’s rights and roles in a more equitable manner.

Abstract

Social media not only creates a new public sphere for the expression of religious activities but also serves as a contested arena for religious discourse. In Indonesia, one of the key discourses under contention is moderate Islamic discourse. This article addresses two primary questions: First, what forms does contested moderate Islamic discourse take on social media, and what strategies are employed in these contests?.  Second, what factors contribute to the emergence of these contestations surrounding moderate Islamic discourse on social media?. Using Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis as a theoretical framework, this research explores qualitative data gathered through the observation of YouTube videos. The findings indicate that the contestation of moderate Islamic discourse on YouTube occurs not only between traditional and new religious authorities, as is often assumed, but also among traditional religious authorities themselves. These groups compete to articulate the true and ideal meaning of moderate Islam. The contestation is driven by a combination of ideological, economic, political, and socio-cultural factors that influence the digital sphere in Indonesia.

Abstract

Family issues are at the heart of challenges like early marriage and sexual violence. Historically, these problems have been regarded as private matters, making them difficult to address. As the smallest unit of society, the family plays a vital role in tackling these issues. Nahdlatul Ulama, the largest mass organization in Indonesia, has pioneered an important approach by emphasizing the family as a key solution to these challenges. This article explains social innovation in preventing early marriage and sexual violence among young people with a study of the Gerakan Keluarga Maslahah Nahdlatul Ulama (GKMNU) movement. This research uses an qualitative approach with participatory observation and in-depth interviews taking locations in three regions, including Pekalongan Regency, Pekalongan City and Batang Regency. This research analyzes social movement theory and incorporates social innovation concepts. The results of this research show that the GKMNU has implemented several empowerment programs for the community including (1) Maṣlaḥah and Ma’rūf Relations, Good Parenting; (2) Healthy Family (3) Prosperous Family which contains messages of increased income, assets, resilience and (4) Educated Family. The GKMNU program runs using a cultural and structural approach in building a movement that has been proven to have a significant impact on society. The results of this research recommend that GKMNU become a movement that continues to be carried out by continuing to involve all elements and stakeholders of society and continuing to innovate.

Abstract

The dynamics surrounding the determination of the beginning of the Hijri calendar remain a persistent and relevant issue within the Indonesian Muslim community. One notable example is the public resistance that emerged in response to the government’s decision regarding 1 Shawwal, which was perceived to neglect input from various stakeholders. This study aims to explore the forms of resistance and identify the underlying factors contributing to this phenomenon. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected from online news sources and other relevant materials, then categorized and analyzed. The findings reveal that resistance occurs not only at the organizational and group levels but also at the individual level. Furthermore, the study highlights that an individual's level of literacy and mastery of scientific knowledge significantly influences their understanding and acceptance of the calendar decision. By applying Social Representation Theory, this study offers a novel contribution to the literature by shifting the focus from legal-astronomical debates to the sociocultural meanings and identities that shape public responses. This perspective fills a gap in previous studies and provides a more holistic understanding of calendar-related conflicts. The study recommends a more extensive public education effort by the government, including the integration of related knowledge into formal school curricula, as a strategic investment for fostering greater social harmony in the future.
