Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of relations between ethnic Chinese and Malays on Rupat Island, Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province, in the post-1998 Reformation context and its position as an Indonesia-Malaysia border region. In contrast to major cities such as Jakarta and Medan, which experienced ethnic violence in 1998, Rupat Island demonstrated social stability and intergroup harmony. This study aims to explain the socio-historical factors that support social resilience, identify the cross-cultural adaptation strategies developed, and interpret identity formation and social integration in this multi-ethnic border region. Using a border anthropology approach and descriptive-analytical qualitative methods, this study collected data through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and a review of historical documents and local archives. The analysis was conducted by combining Abner Cohen's (1969) theory of ethnic instrumentalization, Gudykunst and Kim's (2003) cross-cultural adaptation, and Homi Bhabha's (2012) theory of cultural hybridity. The research findings demonstrate that social resilience on Rupat Island does not arise from the absence of conflict, but from an active process of cultural adaptation, ongoing identity negotiation, and the role of local elites in maintaining social balance. The Chinese community's historical adaptation to coastal Malay values, the inclusive local wisdom of the Malay community, and the geographic character of the border, which is open to socio-economic exchange, are key factors in shaping harmony. These findings enrich the study of ethnic relations in Indonesia by demonstrating that economics and identity can serve as vehicles for social integration in border regions.

Abstract

Pandai Sikek Songket is a cultural heritage of the Minangkabau people, rich in aesthetic and philosophical values. Its decorative motifs were initially influenced by natural elements and local customs that developed since the pre-Islamic era. However, with the arrival of Islam in Minangkabau, these motifs underwent a transformation toward alignment with Islamic values. The influence of Islam is reflected in geometric patterns, the reduction of figurative motifs, and philosophies that embody Islamic ethics and teachings. The purpose of this study is to explain the transformation of Pandai Sikek Songket motifs within the context of the encounter between Minangkabau customs and Islamic values, and to explore how this process of cultural adaptation occurs harmoniously without diminishing the essence of local identity. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data were collected through literature review, interviews, and observational documentation, followed by an analysis of Pandai Sikek Songket motifs that have undergone stylization. To examine the influence of Islam, the research applies the theories of acculturation and Islamic aesthetics to understand how Islam shaped the motifs of Pandai Sikek Songket as a traditional textile. The findings conclude that the influence of Islam on Pandai Sikek Songket motifs occurred through a process of harmonious cultural adaptation. Elements of custom and nature were preserved but reinterpreted in accordance with Islamic values, such as the use of symmetrical patterns, stylized forms, and symbolic meanings that reflect Islamic principles. The harmonization of tradition, nature, and Islam in Pandai Sikek Songket illustrates the cultural flexibility of the Minangkabau people in embracing change without losing their identity. The contribution of this study lies in strengthening the understanding of how traditional cultural heritage can transform through the dialogue between custom, nature, and religion, thereby enriching the discourse on Islamic aesthetics and Nusantara culture. The findings also reveal that the harmony between tradition, nature, and Islam in Pandai Sikek Songket reflects the cultural flexibility of the Minangkabau community in adapting to change while preserving its authentic identity.

Abstract

Modern Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Indonesia have traditionally instilled the value of zuhud—simplicity and detachment from worldly materialism—as a core principle of Islamic spirituality. However, modern pesantren increasingly enroll students from upper-middle-class families, who bring exposure to consumer culture, creating a fundamental tension between religious teachings that emphasize zuhud and the pervasive influence of consumerism, which celebrates material acquisition and social status. This study examines how female students (santri) at modern pesantren navigate the tension between Islamic values of zuhud and the pressures of contemporary consumer culture. This research addresses a critical gap in understanding how young religious women actively negotiate these competing influences, rather than passively accepting either religious doctrine or consumer messages. It reveals how female students (santri) reconstruct their religious identity to create contemporary forms of religiosity relevant to modernity. Using Baudrillard's theory of consumer society and Bourdieu's theory of field, habitus, and social capital, a case study was conducted at Assalaam Modern Islamic Boarding School in Sukoharjo through in-depth interviews with 15 female students who had lived there for 3-6 years and came from upper-middle-class economic backgrounds. The findings identified three negotiation types: Minimalist-Pragmatic Students, who maintain simplicity through structured consumption; Selective Negotiator Students, who develop religious justifications to legitimize consumption; and Adaptive Consumer Students, who are highly influenced by peer groups and social media. All respondents acknowledged the influence of social media, with the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) being the primary driver for purchasing expensive items. Brand dominance (Rabbani hijabs, Adidas, Nike, Corkcicle) creates conformity pressure. The research reveals that female students (santri) actively reconstruct religious identity to accommodate modern realities, creating contemporary zuhud—a reinterpretation of simplicity as religiously responsible consumption rather than complete material rejection. Female students (santri) are active agents constructing a blend of religious-consumer identities, creating a new form of religiosity relevant to modernity.

Abstract

As one of the regions with a long history of cultural and religious interaction, the Sundanese people have developed a distinctive literacy tradition in accommodating the influence of Islam. Local texts produced during the Islamization period reflect the creative ways in which communities contextualized new teachings within their cultural worldview. This study examines the Wawacan Nabi Medal (WNM) manuscript as a significant expression of the indigenization of Islam in the Sundanese region. Written in Sundanese and structured in pupuh, the text narrates the life cycle of the Prophet Muhammad while integrating local cultural elements such as language, social values, religious practices, and artistic forms familiar to Sundanese audiences. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using philological and sociocultural methods to understand how Islamic teachings were adapted through the wawacan tradition. The primary source is the WNM manuscript from the collection of Muhammad Supyandi in Jampang Kulon, written in Pegon and containing several pupuh. Data were collected through manuscript inventory, transliteration, and content analysis to identify cultural expressions and Islamic values within the text. The philological work applies the standard manuscript method, using the Supyandi copy as the base manuscript due to its completeness and textual stability, supported by diplomatic transcription, limited normalization, and documentation of significant variants in a critical apparatus. The findings show that WNM represents a harmonious synthesis between Islamic teachings and Sundanese cultural identity. The prophetic narrative is reshaped into poetic form and endowed with ritual meaning, allowing Islam to be internalized not as an external force but as a tradition deeply rooted in local sensibilities. Through this process, WNM stands as a clear example of the successful indigenization of Islam in the cultural landscape of the archipelago.

Abstract

This article examines the practice of fidyat ‘ransom’ for prayer (al-ṣalāh) for the deceased in North Aceh through the lens of vernacularizing fiqh, explaining how textual norms are translated into socially legitimate local practices. Employing a qualitative design—library research on Shāfiʿī fiqh and cross-madhhab comparison, combined with fieldwork (observation, in-depth interviews, documentation) across several sub-districts—the study maps operational definitions, normative bases, and modes of implementation, including the tulak breuh tradition (a rotation of rice-based almsgiving). Findings show that what is locally called “fidyat al-ṣalāh” operates primarily as almsgiving/ihdāʾ al-thawāb and, in specific cases, via the Ḥanafī route contingent on waṣiyya (valued at ṣadaqat al-fiṭr and drawn from one-third of the estate); practices are non-coercive and prioritize eligible recipients. Clerical reasoning clusters into three types: first, tradition-solidarity (communal almsgiving), second, iḥtiyāṭ within Shāfiʿī (qawl ḍaʿīf; one mudd= 650–700 grams of rice; per missed prayer) as a personal charity, and third the Ḥanafī position requiring a valid will. Tulak breuh functions as a socio-economic infrastructure that renders the practice feasible (cost-sharing) and legitimate (local authority, ʿurf). The article contributes by refining the operational-normative framework of fidyah/kaffārah for prayer, proposing a model of fiqh vernacularization for bodily acts of worship, and offering practical implications: terminological education, enforcement of waṣiyya and one-third limits, recipient prioritization, operational measures, and basic record-keeping.

Abstract

The interaction between teachers (kiai) and students (santri) has always played a crucial role in Islamic education, particularly within the tasmīʻ ḥadīth tradition in pesantren, where knowledge is transmitted both orally and symbolically. This oral interaction not only represents a pedagogical process but also serves as a social mechanism through which authority, respect, and scholarly values are reproduced. This study aims to examine the pragmatic dimensions of communication during the tasmīʻ ḥadīth performance and to interpret how these interactions generate symbolic capital within the pesantren context. The focus of this study is directed toward how utterances, corrections, and verbal responses between teachers and students construct symbolic power relations and reproduce religious values within the Islamic scholarly tradition. This research employs a qualitative approach using participatory observation and in-depth interviews. Data were collected through observations conducted at a pesantren in East Lombok. Data analysis was carried out by identifying speech acts, politeness strategies, and forms of symbolic recognition that emerge during the tasmīʻ process. The findings show that oral interaction between teachers and students functions not only as a means of transmitting religious knowledge but also as a medium for constructing symbolic capital in the form of scholarly legitimacy, hierarchical respect, and the internalization of pious values. This study offers a new contribution by integrating pragmatic analysis and the theory of symbolic capital within the context of the tasmīʻ tradition, which has rarely been explored from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the foundational principles governing Prophet Muhammad’s interactions with people with disabilities, ultimately formulating a normative model for Islamic-based social integration. The study addresses the unfortunate reality that people with disabilities continue to face persistent marginalization and stigma within contemporary Muslim societies, despite the strong ethical teachings of Islam. This paper offers a crucial new perspective by shifting the focus of Islamic disability studies from traditional theological and juridical approaches toward a sociological analysis rooted in the Prophet’s actual social practices.The methodology employed is qualitative library research, utilizing primary data from the Hadith, Sīrah (Prophetic biography), and classical Islamic texts, complemented by secondary data from contemporary scholarly literature. The analysis is conducted using a descriptive-analytical approach, synergistically applying Émile Durkheim’s theory of social solidarity, Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus and social capital, and John Rawls’ theory of justice.The findings demonstrate that the Prophet’s interactions were not merely acts of moral compassion but rather reflected a systematic effort to build social participation and responsibility among people with disabilities. This was achieved through the deliberate provision of symbolic capital (honor and recognition), the elimination of stigma, and the active provision of equal social access. The novelty of this research is the formulation of a Sunnah-based social inclusion model that integrates Islamic values with modern sociological theory, thereby explicitly enriching the discourse on modern social integration and global disability studies, while also serving as an inspiration for policies and empowerment strategies for persons with disabilities in contemporary society.

Abstract

India’s 2019 Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the revocation of Article 370 mark a significant shift from secular democratic principles toward ethno-religious nationalism. The CAA introduces religious criteria for citizenship by offering expedited naturalization to non-Muslim minorities from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, while deliberately excluding Muslims. Simultaneously, Article 370’s revocation dismantled the constitutional autonomy of Jammu and Kashmir, India’s only Muslim-majority region. This qualitative empirical study employs document analysis, comparative legal analysis, and critical discourse analysis to examine legislative texts, constitutional amendments, and academic literature. Primary data sources include constitutional document, and citizenship laws. Secondary data is drawn from indexed scholarly articles, books, and reputable media. The article uses Religious Nationalism Theory and Neoclassical Realism as its theoretical framework to analyze the domestic ideological dynamics underpinning Hindutva and the filtering mechanisms in India’s foreign policy. The study finds that the legal architecture of the CAA-NRC fosters systemic discrimination and the risk of statelessness, particularly targeting Muslims, while the removal of Article 370 undermines collective political autonomy through centralized control. Despite widespread criticism from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, India maintains strategic partnerships with Gulf states, driven by pragmatic economic interests that outweigh pan-Islamic solidarity. This article contributes by integrating constitutional and diplomatic analysis within an ethno-religious framework, clarifying the interconnectedness of domestic policy and international relations. It fills a gap in the literature on the linkages between majoritarian domestic policies and global response, providing an analytical framework for policy development, human rights advocacy, and international relations research in pluralistic democracies.

Abstract

The digital reproduction of weakly authenticated hadiths used to support the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM/C) exacerbates health risks. It reinforces patriarchal bias within Muslim communities, thereby eroding gender justice and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah amidst the democratization of religious authority on social media. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) has designated FGM/C as a harmful practice with serious medical and psychological consequences, some Indonesian Muslim groups continue to perpetuate it through cultural and religious legitimacy, creating tensions between textual tradition, human rights principles, and the dynamics of online discourse. This study addresses this gap by analyzing hadith narratives on the Instagram account @halalcorner, integrating hadith criticism and digital netnography to explore the negotiation of religious authority. Using a qualitative-descriptive netnography approach, data were collected through non-participant observation (March–August 2025) of 12 core posts, 1,256 user comments, and multimodal elements, with purposive sampling based on keywords and engagement levels. The analysis followed Kozinets’ four-stage model (investigation, immersion, interaction, integration), with validity maintained through methodological, researcher, and theoretical triangulation, as well as Cohen’s kappa calculation (yielding 85% agreement), peer debriefing, and an audit trail. The findings reveal a dominance of pro-circumcision narratives (70%), followed by opposition narratives (15%) and neutral narratives (15%). The cited hadith tend to emphasize the notion of ​​ṭahārah rather than legal prescriptions, revealing interpretive biases that contradict the protection of life and lineage. By drawing on feminist theology and digital religion theory, this study underscores the need for online discourse that is more reflective, humanistic, and aligned with Islam’s vision as a mercy for all creation.

Abstract

This study examines the process of economic authority appropriation by the Dutch colonialists in the Riau-Lingga Kingdom between 1830 and 1909, by analyzing a number of contracts. Instead of using physical conflict, the Dutch colonial government chose contractual agreements as an instrument to seize economic power. This research was conducted using historical research methods. The primary sources used were contracts between the Riau Lingga kingdom and the Dutch government, as well as the Perhimpunan Plakat and other sources collected from the Indonesian National Archives, digital libraries and the Balai Maklumat Pulau Penyengat. Furthermore, the historical facts findings were analyzed using a colonialism approach. This study found that the appropriation of economic power took place gradually through legal mechanisms such as customs and excise regulations, shipping permits, and symbolic regulations on the use of the royal flag. This process transformed the Sultan's position from that of an independent economic authority to a symbolic ruler under the control of the Resident of Riau. The main findings show that Dutch colonialism in Riau-Lingga was not merely political domination, but also a process of institutionalizing economic power through fiscal and shipping regulations. This research fills a gap in the historiography of political economy in the Malay maritime region and can be considered when examining colonialization in Indonesian history from a different perspective.
