Abstract

Tuan Guru holds an important position in Lombok society as a spiritual and social leader. It is necessary to understand the balance between two roles that often cause tension: the religious-spiritual role as a religious teacher and the socio-political role as a community leader. Amidst dynamic social changes, Tuan Guru is required to maintain moral integrity while also being an agent of Islamic-based educational and social reform. This study aims to explain the balance between the spiritual-religious and socio-political roles of Tuan Guru. In this context, Tuan Guru is required to maintain moral integrity and religious knowledge while demonstrating adaptive social leadership. This will enable the re-emergence of Islamic leadership, such as that of the Prophet Muhammad which harmonizes religion and statehood. The approach used in this study is qualitative-descriptive. Data collection was carried out through observation at the Nurul Hakim Islamic Boarding School in Kediri, West Lombok, by interviewing various figures, namely the village head, community leaders, village elders, and teachers. This study employs Max Weber’s interactive analysis model, which encompasses data collection, reduction, presentation and drawing of conclusions, enriched by the theory of charismatic authority and the concept of transformational leadership developed by James MacGregor Burns and Bernard M. Bass. This framework is used to interpret Tuan Guru’s charisma as a source of moral legitimacy and to analyze the shift in his role from a religious authority to an actor in social, political, and educational reform. The findings indicate that Tuan Guru’s leadership has transformed from normative religious authority into multidimensional community leadership through strengthened moral legitimacy, social trust, and adaptive capacity in the face of social change. Consequently, Tuan Guru functions as a spiritual guide, moral exemplar, educational reformer, and socio-political mediator. This research makes a theoretical contribution to the study of religious leadership and, in practical terms, provides insights into value-based adaptive leadership for addressing contemporary social challenges.

Abstract

The Mantu Kucing, or ‘cat marriage,’ ritual in Curahjati Village, Banyuwangi, Indonesia, stands as a significant traditional practice that reflects the spiritual responses of agrarian communities to ecological uncertainty. Passed down through generations, this ritual was historically a means to invoke rain, yet it now confronts challenges posed by modernization, scientific rationality, and climate change. Although academic discourse surrounding traditional rain-making beliefs has expanded, systematic research on the social reproduction mechanisms that support their persistence remains limited. This study explores how the meanings and functions of Mantu Kucing are expressed in community life and how traditional beliefs are negotiated alongside modern meteorological knowledge. Employing Pierre Bourdieu's social practice theory, this qualitative ethnographic research analyzes the interactions among habitus, field, and symbolic capital. Conducted in Curahjati Village, the research involved interviews with ten informants, comprising traditional leaders, farmers, religious figures, and youth, as well as participant observation and documentation. The findings reveal that Mantu Kucing operates as a complex mechanism for social reproduction, where the ritual habitus engages with various overlapping fields: traditional rituals, Islamic practices, modern scientific knowledge, and the market economy. The ritual serves not only as a spiritual expression of cosmological beliefs but also as a means of fostering social solidarity through gotong royong (mutual cooperation). Additionally, it acts as a source of symbolic capital that enriches cultural identity and provides a venue for negotiating authority between traditional and modern knowledge systems. The tradition persists through strategic adaptation, maintaining its spiritual essence while embracing digital documentation and actively engaging younger generations by reinterpreting the ritual as local wisdom. This study underscores how agrarian communities exercise cultural agency within structural constraints, effectively preserving their collective identity through creative transformation and offering alternative rationalities for navigating ecological uncertainty.

Abstract

The Merariq Kodeq tradition is one of the cultural heritages of the Sasak people that contains profound philosophical, moral, and social values. However, in its development, it faces various dynamics due to the influence of modernization and social change. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the subjective experiences of Merariq Kodeq practitioners through a phenomenological approach and the socio-cultural context of the Sasak people, which is studied ethnographically. This research uses qualitative methods with a phenomenological and ethnographic approach, conducted in Kuranji Village, Labuapi District, West Lombok Regency. Data collection methods included participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, with informants comprising traditional leaders, religious leaders, village officials, community leaders, and adolescents. The results of the study show that Merariq Kodeq is not only understood as a traditional marriage practice, but also as a symbol of the collective identity of the Sasak people, representing the values of honor, politeness, and social solidarity. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of preserving local cultural values through educational, participatory, and collaborative approaches in order to maintain a balance between the preservation of customs and the dynamics of social change in the modern era.

Abstract

The low level of education among the Kaili Da’a community impacts the vulnerability of family resilience, particularly in economic and social aspects, as reflected in the dominance of livelihoods in the informal sector, where 50.3% of Kaili Da’a livelihoods are in agriculture and gardening, while the remainder work as traders, miners, or vendors in markets. This study aims to analyze the strengthening of family resilience among the Kaili Da’a indigenous community from the perspective of Jamaluddin Athiyyah’s Maqāṣid al-Sharīʻah using qualitative methods as well as Miles and Huberman’s analysis. The results indicate that family resilience among the Kaili Da’a community encompasses five dimensions: legal and structural quality, physical resilience, economic resilience, socio-psychological resilience, and socio-cultural resilience. However, comprehensive fulfillment of indicators is only observed in the dimensions of legal and structural quality, physical resilience, and socio-cultural resilience, while the economic and socio-psychological dimensions remain suboptimal. From the perspective of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʻah, these findings indicate that the family resilience of the Kaili Da’a community reflects the dimensions of the individual, family, society, and humanity. This study contributes to the development of an analysis of family resilience based on Jamaluddin Athiyyah’s Maqāṣid al-Sharīʻah, which integrates the local values of the Kaili Da’a indigenous community with an Islamic perspective. This study also enriches the theoretical discourse on family resilience grounded in local culture and Maqāṣid al-Sharīʻah.

Abstract

Rias Village in the South Bangka Regency has been projected as the settlement of Javanese, Sundanese, and Bugis transmigrants alongside the indigenous Bangka community. The coexistence of these diverse ethnic groups has given rise to variations in social and cultural practices, as well as differences in agricultural management approaches. The role of civic virtue was examined in shaping community life within the transmigration area, with particular attention to traditional practices that contribute to harmonious environmental management. Qualitative-descriptive research was employed, where the data were collected through observation, purposive sampling interviews, and document analysis. Research findings from document studies were analyzed through several stages such as document familiarization, coding process, theme and pattern analysis, interpretation, and report preparation. The findings indicate that three key Islamic traditions like Sedekah Bumi, Maulid Nabi, and Ruwahan embody the principles of civic virtue. These traditions function as mechanisms for fostering unity and social cohesion, while simultaneously supporting collective values of civic disposition and civic commitment. Sedekah Bumi is related to civic disposition in hopes of getting better harvest in the following year. Maulid Nabi fosters civic commitment in building togetherness. The ruwahan tradition fosters civic commitment in building intimacy. The values positively influence the cooperative management of agricultural environments.

Abstract

Although the Qur’an contains numerous dialogical passages that present debates between prophets and their opponents, the underlying structure of these arguments has rarely been examined through a systematic analytical framework. Existing studies on Qur’anic disputation tend to emphasize rhetorical or literary dimensions, while the logical and structural organization of Qur’anic dialectics remains relatively underexplored. This study investigates the argumentative structure of Qur’anic dialectics through a case analysis of the debate between Abraham and a king—commonly associated with Nimrod—in Surah al-Baqarah verse 258. Methodologically, the study combines philological analysis of Qur’anic dialectical terminology with an exegetical examination of classical tafsīr literature, particularly the works of al-Zarkashī, al-Suyūṭī, al-Zamakhsharī, and al-Rāzī. The analysis focuses on identifying the structural sequence of arguments and the conceptual foundations of Qur’anic dialectics as reflected in the exegetical tradition. The findings demonstrate that Qur’anic dialectics operates through a structured argumentative sequence consisting of three principal stages: the introduction of the claim, the elaboration of rational demonstration (ḥujjah), and the concluding refutation that exposes the logical weakness of the opponent’s argument. Philologically, the Qur’anic discourse of debate is articulated through several key lexical roots—j-d-l, ḥ-w-r, and ḥ-j-j—each of which reflects distinct dimensions of argumentative engagement. Furthermore, classical exegetical works reveal that Qur’anic disputation significantly influenced the later development of Islamic dialectical traditions, particularly in the literature of munāẓarah and theological debate. By integrating textual analysis with insights from the classical exegetical tradition, this study proposes a structural model of Qur’anic dialectics that highlights the interaction between rational demonstration, dialogical engagement, and rhetorical persuasion within Qur’anic discourse. The study thus contributes to a more systematic understanding of argumentative patterns in the Qur’an and their significance for the broader history of Islamic intellectual traditions.

Abstract

The revitalization of Arab–Malay calligraphy in Islamic boarding schools throughout Riau constitutes a strategic initiative to preserve Malay Islamic cultural identity while enhancing students’ life skills in response to contemporary educational and social challenges. This research develops and analyzes an instructional framework for Arab–Malay calligraphy learning that integrates cultural preservation with student competency development. Utilizing a Research and Development (R&D) methodology, the study employed a systematic instructional design process comprising needs analysis, learning design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Data collection involved classroom observations, in-depth interviews with pesantren leaders, calligraphy instructors, and students, as well as documentation of learning facilities, instructional programs, and students’ artworks. Qualitative analysis was conducted using an interactive model of data reduction, data display, and continuous verification. The results demonstrate that the revitalization of Arab–Malay calligraphy is most effective when implemented through an integrated instructional framework that combines formal classroom instruction with workshop-based mentoring. Classroom instruction reinforces foundational competencies such as letter formation, proportion, and writing discipline, while workshops offer intensive opportunities for talent development, creativity, and artistic specialization. Instructional methods based on demonstration, imitation, repetitive practice, and continuous instructor feedback significantly improve students’ technical skills, perseverance, and motivation. In addition to artistic competence, Arab–Malay calligraphy learning fosters creativity, self-reliance, productivity, collaboration, and a heightened sense of pride in Malay Islamic cultural heritage. The study concludes that Arab–Malay calligraphy should be regarded not only as an aesthetic-religious art form but also as a culturally grounded instructional framework that advances life skills education, student empowerment, and the preservation of Malay–Nusantara Islamic traditions within the pesantren context.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between local traditions and societal morality within the context of ethics and Islamic thought. With concerns about moral decline and weakening community bonds amid modernization and individualistic digital culture in Indonesia, there is an urgent need to strengthen ethical foundations rooted in local wisdom to maintain social cohesion. A noticeable effect of this decline is the reduction in participation in tradition-based social activities in South Sumatra, which historically fostered the transmission of moral values. This research specifically analyzes the Sedulang Setudung tradition in Banyuasin as a medium for character development and examines its epistemological foundations through Ibn Miskawaih’s thought. Using a qualitative approach, the study incorporates participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of traditional practices. The analysis reveals that the Sedulang Setudung tradition transmits values such as togetherness, social solidarity, and collective responsibility, internalized through cultural symbols and communal participation. According to Ibn Miskawaih, this process aligns with the concept of ta‘wīd al-nafs, where virtue is cultivated through repeated actions, becoming ingrained character traits. The findings underscore that local traditions serve not just as heritage but also as vital tools for moral education, enhancing the ethical resilience of society. This research contributes to Islamic moral philosophy by emphasizing the integration of local wisdom and Islamic ethics to strengthen contemporary societal morality.

Abstract

The practice of contract marriage in West Java has developed as a social phenomenon that is not merely associated with violations of legal norms or marital morality, but also reflects gendered power relations shaped by tourism-based economic structures and local social inequalities. This article aims to analyze the practice of contract marriage through a gender sociology perspective by emphasizing the interaction between local patriarchy, the informal tourism economy, and women’s agency negotiation under structural constraints. Furthermore, this practice persists through a dual framework of cultural-religious legitimacy, where certain religious interpretations are manipulated to justify temporary unions while masking underlying socio-economic exploitation. This research employs a qualitative case study approach conducted in the Bogor–Cianjur–Puncak tourism area through in-depth interviews with individuals involved in contract marriage practices and relevant local actors, field observations, and document analysis. A total of 14 informants were purposively selected based on their direct involvement or knowledge of the practice. The findings indicate that women’s participation cannot be fully understood as an autonomous individual choice, but rather as a negotiated response within conditions of limited access to education, restricted formal employment opportunities, and family economic pressures. Contract marriage functions as both a survival economic strategy and a process of commodification of women’s bodies legitimized through local intermediary networks and the demands of transnational tourism markets. These findings affirm that contract marriage represents a manifestation of gender inequality reproduced within tourism economic structures. Therefore, gender-sensitive policy approaches are required through strengthened legal protection for women, local economic diversification, and community-based social interventions, including gender-sensitive religious counseling, to reduce the reproduction of structural vulnerability in tourism areas.

Abstract

Religious and indigenous belief systems across Indonesia are transmitted intergenerationally and are deeply embedded in ritual practices rich in symbolic meaning. One recurring element in many of these rituals is the use of smoke, produced from burning plants, resins, incense, and other organic materials. Despite its widespread presence, the symbolic meanings and communicative functions of smoke within ritual contexts remain underexplored in scholarly discussions on religion and culture. This study focuses on ritual practitioners from several Indonesian ethnic communities, particularly the Sundanese, Javanese, and Batak groups, whose ritual traditions continue to preserve the spiritual use of smoke in both religious and indigenous belief practices. The study aims to examine how these communities interpret and utilize smoke in their spiritual rituals.communities. Employing an ethnographic approach, primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with 23 ritual practitioners from diverse religious and belief backgrounds among Sundanese, Javanese, and Batak communities. The data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of meaning and ritual function. The findings reveal that smoke is understood not merely as a ritual accessory, but as a medium of spiritual communication—facilitating interaction with spiritual entities, mediating transcendental connections, and fostering personal spiritual well-being. These results contribute to broader discussions in religious, social, and cultural studies by highlighting smoke as a symbolic communicative device embedded in lived religious experience. The study also opens comparative possibilities for understanding similar ritual expressions in other cultural contexts.
