Typology of Islamic Movements in Indonesia 18-19 Century

The study explores the typology of the Islamic movement in Indonesia in the 18th to 19th centuries with a focus on resistance to Dutch colonialism, education, as well as tasawuf and tarekat aspects. The phenomenon of religious revivalism, especially in the growth of the practitioners and tarekat, was closely linked to the rise of the people of Hajj in the 19th century. Dutch colonial politics, in its attempt to humanize Indonesia from Islam, used Western education as its primary tool. The process of secularization occurs as a result of the penetration of Western influence into the education system, forming secular groups that tend to support non-religious organizations. The emergence of the Islamic modernist movement as a result of the diversification of the movement, especially in the fields of law, leadership, and conflict between custom and religion. Political developments show the accommodation and polarization between the traditionalist and modernist groups, shaping the diversity of Islamic movement in Indonesia. The study uses a library method with a qualitative approach, analysing contemporary historical sources related to the Islamic movement in Indonesia during that period. The results identified the typology of the movement based on its patterns and characteristics, including political, economic, educational, tasawuf, and tarekat. Various events of resistance to colonialism are described, such as the Padri Movement (1819-1837) in Minangkabau, the Diponegoro War (1825-1839) in Java, the Banjarmasin War, and the rebellion in Banten influenced by the Qadiriyah tarekat wal Naqsyabandiyah. Educational institutions, especially gymnastics, have become the focus of the Islamic movement. The importance of the role of tasawuf and tarekat in motivating resistance against colonial oppression is illustrated, for example, through the network of tarekat Syatariyah in the Java War. In conclusion, the Islamic movement in Indonesia in the 18th to 19th centuries involved complex typologies, covering aspects of resistance, education, and spirituality, shaping the dynamics of Indonesian Islamic history.

Actualization of Contemporary Islamic Education Concepts: A Study of the Thoughts of Sayyid Naquib Al-Attas and Buya Hamka

The crisis of Islamic education, along with other pressing issues, has long been apparent within the Islamic world. According to Al-Faruqi, the education sector is suspected to be experiencing the worst crisis. This should not happen because the spirit of renewal in Islam should not only touch upon political, military, and economic aspects but should also be more focused on education. This type of research is a literature review, utilizing a factual-historical approach concerning prominent figures. Through several efforts, this research concludes that what has been formulated by Al-Attas and Hamka, particularly regarding education, is their intellectual jihad to realize an ideal Islamic education system. This system is based on moral, spiritual, and religious values. The orientation and values of Islamic education fundamentally lie in the harmony and balance of the complete individual, encompassing both the physical and spiritual aspects of human beings. Similarly, when viewed in terms of the human function as the servant of Allah ('abd Allah), symbolizing the vertical dimension, and as the vicegerent on earth (khalifah fi al-ard), symbolizing the horizontal dimension.

Data analysis is an effort to find and organize systematically the records of observation, interviews, by means of data reduction, data display (presentation of data), data conclusion and data verification. The impact of drug abuse on social family. The results showed that the impact of drug abuse on social indicators, namely user education and user families, concluded that both informants had completed their college education before falling into using drugs. Or it can be interpreted that they used drugs when they were already in the work environment. From a psychological point of view, this can be seen from the divorce that occurred, while the psychological impact on parents and other families is to feel depressed and frightened due to changes in the behavior of users who are very aggressive and temperamental. The impact of drug abuse on the family economy is that the three informants interviewed are all unproductive and can no longer work properly, especially since all informants have been using drugs for a very long time. HI only works twice a week, AM can no longer work. Informant S, because he owns a dental clinic business inherited from his family, can still be said to be able to work but because he is dependent on consuming 4 times a week, S also has a history of heart disease due to consuming drugs so that it will interfere with his work productivity. In the perspective of Islamic economics, every family must ensure the welfare of its family members by fulfilling their every need both in terms of social, economic, and spiritual aspects. However, a person's involvement in drug abuse will damage their economic security so that they cannot provide welfare to their family members. Users will spend their income to buy drugs so that they cannot fulfill their personal needs, borrow money from parents and relatives, and even have to pawn some of their property because they are very dependent.

The role of spirituality in identity after trauma: a scoping review of quantitative and qualitative evidence

ABSTRACT This scoping review explored the relationship between spirituality and identity after trauma. Studies must have explored an aspect of spirituality and identity (e.g., personal, role, group). Trauma was defined by the DSM-5 PTSD Criterion A diagnostic criteria. Four databases were searched (n = 10,641 citations), resulting in 181 relevant publications (57 quantitative studies, 124 qualitative studies) that included 55,783 participants from 30 countries. Quantitative findings predominantly showed positive associations between different aspects of spirituality (e.g., religious beliefs/practices, spiritual wellbeing) and identity post-trauma. Thematic analysis of qualitative findings highlighted that: spirituality had helped people to construct a helpful personal identity; supported role identities; and contributed to coherence; and maintained religious identity post-trauma. However, in some cases, spirituality paradoxically contributed to an unhelpful identity after trauma, or led to the loss of a religious identity.

This reduced diarrhea and potential bleeding-related problems, which enhanced the self-awareness and control of the disease by the patient. It is suggested that psychological assessment should be added to the outpatient follow-up, so as to promptly determine whether patients have emotional distress through specialist examination.</p> <p> </p>

The New Age and the awakening of a decolonial consciousness from Mexico

This article underlines another aspect of New Age spirituality developed in Mexico: although emerging from the Global North, it is also a matrix that gives value to those elements excluded by modernity and produces decolonial critiques and deconstructions from the Global South. The authors analyse four strands of neo-Mexican spirituality in which the decolonial perspective is corroborated: (1) the rise of post-national ethnic nations; (2) the criticism of patriarchy and the emergence of ecofeminist spiritualities; (3) the critique of capitalism and the alternatives of sustainable economy; and (4) the consumption of sacred plants and medicines as a spot where the struggle of indigenous ontologies and modern epistemologies takes place.
