EXPLORING JAVANESE FEMALE SUFISM IN SERAT MURTASIYAH: A STUDY OF WOMEN'S REPRESENTATION OF RELIGIOUS VALUES IN THE DOMESTIC REALM WITHIN MODERN WESTERN CONTEXTS

Gender discourse is challenged in the study of Sufism because Sufism is not inherently bound by gender identity. However, most Javanese literary works tend to place men as Sufis. Murtasiyah, the main female character in Serat Murtasiyah, is a picture of a Javanese Sufi woman with an extraordinary religious personality as a wife. This article discusses how Murtasiyah practiced Sufism and applied religious values in the domestic sphere of the family. The form of obedience of Javanese wives through the character of Murtasiyah is also compared from Javanese and Islamic perspectives. Through textual and contextual approaches, preceded by a philological method, Serat Murtasiyah was dissected using a hermeneutic and content analysis with a feminist approach. The findings show that Murtasiyah can understand the knowledge of meaning (ngelmu rasa) through the Sufism levels of tahalli (pure heart), takhalli (soul-filling), and tajalli (inner light). The religious teachings of a Sufi, such as always being grateful, patient, obedient to worship, pleased, remembering, and willing to repent, are also reflected in Murtasiyah’s personality. With these religious values, Murtasiyah can pass through the storms of life to become a Sufi. In addition, the form of obedience of women as wives in the Javanese perspective tends to be more diverse than the interpretation of the obligations of a wife according to Islamic teachings. From this study, modern women can also learn and apply the concept of Sufism Murtasiyah in carrying out their daily dual roles to create a balance in achieving worldly and afterlife affairs.

NUPTIAL AGREEMENT IN MUSLIM MARRIAGE: A JURISTIC ANALYSIS

The nuptial agreement is been gaining attraction in the Muslim environment in recent times because of the assumed benefit to protect either of the marital partners in the advent of divorce or separation. Prenuptial clauses usually take effect immediately after marriage consummation and every party can lay claim to the agreement in the event of a breach of agreement while postnuptial agreements are clauses agreed upon during the marriage period. Although there are complaints that Muslims from Western and non-Islamic societies might need prenuptial agreement in the place of khulʼ (redemption) to protect either party in the case of future divorces or separation, however, there are concerns about the rate of interest in the new couples from Muslim society opting for a prenuptial agreement. This study explores the concepts of prenuptial and postnuptial and their associated use by Muslim couples in contemporary reality. The study will examine why Muslim couples from Islamic society are opting for nuptial agreement rather than khulʼ regulations in Islamic law and the need to identify essential thresholds in juristic conditioning for nuptial agreements in a Muslim marriage, especially in the case of Shartu fāsid (invalid conditions) in a marriage agreement. The study uses a doctrinal approach to gathering and analysis of data from an Islamic perspective. The study proposed useful suggestions from the finding on juristic conditioning in the application of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements in Muslim society.

A Critical Appraisal of Obligatory Bequest as Prevalent in Muslim Countries

The obligatory bequest has been adopted by legal force in several Muslim states. The basic purpose of this adoption is to overcome the economic grievances of orphaned grandchildren. This reform seems to be justified from an Islamic perspective because it does not radically interfere with the Islamic law of inheritance. Orphaned grandchildren who are excluded under the traditional law of inheritance are its beneficiaries. These grandchildren inherit the share of their predeceased parent within the bequeathable limit of one-third of their grandparent’s estate. However, if the grandparent does not make any bequest in their favour, the court will assume that the grandparent has made the bequest and enforce it. Pakistani courts have preferred obligatory bequest over Section 4 of the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961. However, obligatory bequest is not an ideal solution; it has restricted its benefit to grandchildren only and no provision is made for spouses and surviving parents. Additionally, both these reforms of obligatory bequest and Section 4 suffer from similar anomalies of representational succession. However, the state is the ultimate guardian of all deprived and needy classes. Therefore, the most appropriate way to tackle the economic necessities of orphaned grandchildren is through the welfare and development programmes of Muslim states. This article thoroughly analyses the obligatory bequest and discusses the different models applicable to Muslim countries. Moreover, the article probes the arguments for and against obligatory bequest and examines their implications.

Islamic Legal Perspectives on Refugee Protection and Welfare: A Case Study of Malaysia

This article examines the refugee crisis in Malaysia from the perspective of Islamic law, addressing the challenges arising from the absence of a formal legal framework for refugee protection. Through a legal normative approach and in-depth interviews with Islamic authorities and NGOs, this study investigates Islamic principles related to refugee welfare. The findings of this study reveal that Malaysia has an ethical and legal responsibility under Islamic law (domestic and legal normative) to protect and support refugees despite not signing the 1951 Refugee Convention. This study emphasises the potential role of Islamic authorities as part of the government body in administering, coordinating, and implementing Islamic welfare efforts to meet the needs of refugees. By aligning refugee support with Islamic values, Malaysia can improve its ability to provide comprehensive care and protection to refugees, fulfilling religious and humanitarian duties.
