Why do Indonesian Muslims Donate through Crowdfunding Platforms? An Integration of UTAUT, Transparency, and Trust

Indonesia's recognition as the most charitable country in the world makes research on donations through crowdfunding platforms an intriguing subject for study. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of technology and institutions factors on people's intentions to donate through the crowdfunding platform. This study employs Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with a sample size of 155 questionnaires. The results indicate that components of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and social influence) and institutional factors (trust and transparency) have a significant positive influence on people's intentions to donate through the platform kitabisa.com. These findings imply the importance of developing new technologies for philanthropic organizations and increasing public intention to donate, especially through donation crowdfunding. This research also contributes theoretically to the development of the UTAUT model by integrating trust and transparency.

Grave Matters: Ambiguity, Modernism, and the Quest for Moderate Islam in Indonesia

Abstract Although graves of famous figures are often important sites of commemoration where religious communities invoke a normative past, the very act of commemoration can coexist uneasily with a religious community’s values and self-understanding. This is the case with Muhammadiyah, an Indonesian modernist Islamic mass organization focused on the purification of Islam from what they consider heretical innovations, including memory practices at graves. Yet, to differentiate themselves from radical Islamist organizations they find objectionable, Muhammadiyah’s leadership has begun to draw on their organizational history and its physical remnants, including graves, to articulate a “moderate” identity. Drawing on ethnographic research in Yogyakarta, I show how Muhammadiyah’s conflicting desires produce an ambiguity that is productive for articulating the organization’s complex ideological positionings. In so doing, I argue against the pervasive claim that with modernity, Islam lost its tolerance and appreciation of ambiguity.

Freedom that is not Absolute: Ecological Ethics and Human-Nature Relationship in the Qur'an

This article presents an analysis of ecological ethics in the holy scripture of Islam through the intellectual interpretations of Muslim scholars. The primary focus is on discussing the limitations of human rights in utilizing ecology and the obligation to preserve it according to the perspective of the Qur'an. This discussion is particularly relevant for Indonesia, a country with a majority Muslim population, which is experiencing increasing ecological degradation. The article urges Muslims in Indonesia to refer back to the ecological principles within Islam, avoiding capitalist ideologies that contradict Islamic teachings. The research methodology used is literature analysis, drawing from the texts of the Qur'an and its exegesis, analyzed through thematic and descriptive-analytical interpretative approaches. Two main themes discussed are the limitations of human creativity towards ecology and the relationship between humans and nature. Research findings indicate that the Qur'an explicitly prohibits human behavior that can harm environmental sustainability. Although nature was created to meet human needs, humans are still forbidden to treat the environment carelessly. The Qur'an emphasizes the importance of maintaining ecological balance, forbids isrāf (wastefulness), and warns of punishment in the afterlife for those who damage the environment.

The Dynamics of Divorce in Indonesian Muslim Families

The development of divorce cases from year to year is very dynamic. Divorce occurs not only because of problems in the family but also because divorce is attached to the husband and wife, who are left behind due to death. Likewise, the judge's decision can affect the determination of divorce status. If the judge is unwilling or does not decide on the divorce, the marriage is not declared divorced. Therefore, divorce is defined as the breakup of the marital relationship with the judge's decision or the request of one of the parties. This article aims to find out the dynamics of divorce development in Indonesia. This research is library-based qualitative with a descriptive, critical, analytical approach and an interdisciplinary perspective, combining philosophical, psychological, sociological, juridical, and comparative methods. The results show that divorce and marriage exist in the world. In the jewish religion, divorce is permitted. In the catholic faith, divorce is prohibited, while in protestantism, it is allowed on the grounds of adultery. In islam, the majority of islamic jurists allow it and some islamic jurists ban divorce. Meanwhile, in indonesia, divorce is permitted by a court decision. Some regions with the most divorce cases are West Java, East Java, Central Java, North Sumatra, DKI Jakarta, Banten, South Sulawesi, And Riau. The factors that cause divorce are spouse conflicts, economy, leaving one party, domestic violence, drunkenness, gambling, neglect, one of them being imprisoned, adultery, polygamy, forced marriage, and disputes that lead to divorce. Efforts to prevent divorce include premarital education, family money management training, strengthening the basis of personality, family mediation, and rehabilitative assistance for divorced couples.

Contextualizing Islamic Traditions in English Language Teaching at Indonesian Islamic Higher Education

English language teaching (ELT) in the context of Indonesian Islamic higher education has been particular and little known. The spirit of interconnecting ELT and Islamic tradition has given birth to the concept of dual tasks suggesting the practitioners to teach English and preach Islam. The practitioners are faced with strategic efforts to contextualize Islamic traditions into ELT. By examining six State Islamic higher education located in Lombok, Java, and Sumatera as the main contexts, this study explores issues related to the English teachers' dual tasks and their practiced strategies of contextualizing Islamic traditions into their teaching activities. Narrative inquiry was employed to explore those issues as they are closely related to the participants’ life experiences as English teachers at Indonesian Islamic higher education. This study concludes that the participants’ dual tasks are supported by theological narratives, particularly that of the Islamic propagation argument, and by academic narratives highlighting scientific distinction and knowledge integration. Further, the contextualization of Islamic tradition in ELT is polarized in the explicit mode narratives, referring to the strategies directly related to ELT, and the implicit mode narratives which cover the strategies indirectly connected to ELT. The findings highlight the intricate interaction between ELT and Islamic tradition within the realm of Indonesian higher education, thereby indicating potential pathways for subsequent research endeavors and pedagogical enhancements.

Revisioning Official Islam in Indonesia: The Role of Women Ulama Congress in Reproducing Female Authority in Islamic Law

Until now, the religious views of the Indonesian Government, known as official Islam, tend to be masculine and patriarchal in determining laws. The masculinity of official Islam can easily be found in some regulations in Indonesia. The establishment of the Indonesian Congress of Women Islamic Scholars (Kongres Ulama Perempuan Indonesia, KUPI) has introduced a new perspective on gender amid the dominance of official Islamic masculinity. This article focuses on the role and position of KUPI amid the dominance of official Islamic masculinity in Indonesia. Through content analysis and Charles Peirce's theory of knowledge construction, the author found that KUPI has successfully become a center for reproducing female authority in Islamic law. This is achieved by reinterpreting several government rules and policies that tend to be masculine and disadvantageous to women. The success of KUPI as a center for the reproduction of the authority of women Islamic scholars plays a role in revising official Islam. KUPI accomplishes this by offering a new paradigm that embodies the values of justice and gender equality. Abstrak: Pandangan-pandangan keagamaan Pemerintah Indonesia yang dikenal dengan istilah official Islam selama ini masih cenderung maskulin dan patriarki dalam menetapkan hukum. Maskulinitas official Islam dapat dengan mudah ditemukan dalam sebagian aturan di Indonesia. Penyelenggaraan Kongres Ulama Perempuan Indonesia (KUPI) memunculkan perspektif baru terkait gender di tengah dominannya maskulinitas Official Islam tersebut. Artikel ini menganalis peran dan posisi KUPI di tengah dominannya maskulinitas Official Islam di Indonesia. Melalui pendekatan content analysis dan teori konstruksi pengetahuan Charles Peirce, penulis berargumen bahwa KUPI telah berhasil menjadi pusat reproduksi otoritas ulama perempuan di Indonesia. Hal ini dicapai dengan melakukan penafsiran ulang terhadap beberapa aturan dan kebijakan pemerintah yang cenderung maskulin dan merugikan perempuan. Keberhasilan KUPI menjadi pusat reproduksi otoritas ulama perempuan ini berperan dalam merevisi Official Islam tersebut. Hal ini dilakukan oleh KUPI dengan menawarkan paradigma baru yang lebih mengandung nilai-nilai keadilan dan keseteraan gender.
