Ahlus Sunnah Views of COVID-19 in Social Media: The Islamic Preaching by Gus Baha and Abdus Somad

The Covid-19 pandemic, which occurred in line with the massive transformation of digital media, was a significant moment that enabled diverse Islamic preachers to use media to advance their own interests. However, little has been discussed regarding the religious responses to the COVID-19 performed by Ahlus Sunnah community members or those who are not inclined to participate in radical activities. By analyzing two important Ahlus Sunnah figures, Gus Baha and Abdus Somad, this article focuses on the group’s COVID-19 views on social media, which represents their motives, perspectives, strategies, and theological views to encourage Muslims to have certain mindsets on the virus. Given that Abdul Somad Official account around $1400- 21,700 per month with 950 thousand subscribers and Gus Baha Official account around $5-75 with 500 thousand subscribers, this article investigates their religious/ theological perspectives on COVID-19 and the extent to which they represent religious moderate viewpoints as the solution of the COVID-19. It argues that their YouTube or Facebook channels have enabled the birth of religious moderate arguments on COVID-19 rooted in the Ahlus Sunnah movement. Unlike well-established scientific perspectives on Covid-19 that spread out through official government channels or television, Gus Baha and Abdus Somad’s viewpoints have been relatively independent from medical networks, but highly dependent on Ahlus Sunnah movements. With a high number of offline and online followers, it demonstrates the potential of their status as religious influencers on COVID-19 based on Ahlus Sunnah viewpoints in Indonesia.

Humor, Piety, and Masculinity: The Role of Digital Platforms in Aiding “Conversations” Between Islamic Preachers and Waria in Indonesia

AbstractThis article explores the influence of digital platforms in opening up ways for Islamic preachers in Indonesia to conduct dakwah and connect with their Muslim audience using distinct affective mechanisms, such as localized humor, pious activism, and display of Islamic knowledge–authority. Since 2016, influenced by online preachers who have earned a loyal following through YouTube, there has been a spike in national interest toward the Islamic discourse of immorality associated with the globalized LGBTQ liberation movement. In this article, I will investigate the role of digital dakwah in perpetuating a moral discourse against gender nonconforming expressions and reinforcing the popular discourse of embodying daily Islamic piety to preserve the morality of the Indonesian nation. I am specifically interested in examining the digital presence of Ustadz Abdul Somad and Ustadz Felix Siauw, two prominent Indonesian Islamic preachers, and their particular “interactions” and views toward waria communities in Indonesia. Using evidence from YouTube, I distinguish and illuminate three affective mechanisms used by Islamic preachers and waria to engage in the broader discourse of LGBTQ rights and gender nonconformity in Indonesia: carpool dakwah, humor, and religious authority.

Tracing Digital Divides in Indonesian Islam: Ambivalences of Media and Class

AbstractThe article examines questions of the digital divide from a religious perspective. It asks about the consequences of unequal access to and limitations on uses of social media among Indonesian Muslims with regard to their Islamic practice and sociality. The article concentrates on two phenomena: Islamic preachers and their affective‐cum‐economic relationship with their followers who are often organized in Islamic study groups; and online Qur'an reading groups that are frequently part of this Islamic preacher economy. Both examples point to the ambivalences that are present in Indonesia concerning economic inequality, social belonging, the uses of new media as well as the meaning of the term class as such. The article considers how these ambivalences are coming to the fore in the context of the introduction of new media and how class boundaries are renegotiated and reintroduced in Islamic online realms. From the discussion of the two examples and the ambivalences that become apparent through them, the article concludes that mediated religiosity that demands a strong presence on social media platforms is largely a middle‐class affair in Indonesia being articulated in ways that are partly reminiscent of offline class distinctions and their ambivalences.

Risky Appearances, Skillful Performances: Female Islamic Preachers and Professional Style in Malaysia

ABSTRACTMass involvement of women in Islamic associations and public religious expressions has led to an unprecedented demand for women Islamic authorities. Yet, paradoxically, the global Islamic revival has also strengthened conservative norms with regard to the exposure of women's bodies and voices. In Malaysia, women Islamic popular preachers navigate, and to some extent obviate, this tension between publicity and modesty by cultivating a professional style. In the context of mass education, mass mediatization, and a public sphere saturated with techno‐political language, these women combine religious guidance with knowledges and performances more commonly associated with nonreligious professions. They perceive their work and careers as an accumulation of professional skills. They work from offices as well as traditional religious institutions. And they provide specialized, often paid services ranging from conventional religious teaching and preaching to professionalized Islamic healing and media performances. The increasing salience of a professional persona in women's preaching requires an analysis that moves beyond pious exemplarity—a central concern of many anthropological studies of women's religious authority—and that recognizes the central role of professional style and associated performances in the shaping of new Muslim femininities.

Prophetic Sira and the Construction of Indonesian Islam

Indonesian Islam has gone through a long journey in its history since the first advent up to the present day. In this course, one should note that the process of Islamization was formed under a set of historical and cultural complexity. Among those, the role of Islamic preaching is the most important. Under this canopy, the process of transmission and transformation took the first place as the main force. As the Qur’an and Sunna are the major sources for all Muslims around the world. Both had also become the main streams in Islamicization. Seerat-e-nabi, beside the Qur’an, in this case has a place of honor. It became one of the major sources of all Islamic heritages in Indonesia. The prophet Muhammad PBUH (peace be upon him) was immersed within the Indonesian Islamic traditions in various fields and spheres. It is fair to say that the story of the islamicization of the Indonesian archipelago and the face of Indonesian Islam today is culturally formed by the determination of seerat-e-nabi, besides the Qur’anic scripture. In the other words, the birth and the face of Islam really depend on how its adherents interpret and take a cultural reception on the seerat-e-nabi. This paper tries to capture the prophetic heritage in Indonesian Islam in twofold analysis; transmission and transformation. The former tries to explore how the heritage of seerat-e-nabi flowed into the scene of Indonesian moslem life through various modes of transmission up to the present day. The latter aims at how the seerat-e-nabi became the force and inspiration for the various receptions of institutional matters.

الحوار في ضوء القرآن والسنة

This article discusses different aspects of dialogue in the light of the Qur’ān and Sunnah. The Qur’ān calls for dialogue and the biography of the Prophet Muḥammad tells that he interacted with polytheists, hypocrites, and the people of the book. Therefore, dialogue with other religions is not just a forced choice imposed by geographical, social, or political realities; rather it is the best strategy that the Prophet employed during the Meccan and Medina phases of Islamic preaching. However, in the modern period, some people may accuse Islam of opposing interfaith dialogue. This study highlights that such accusations are baseless and that Islam teaches its followers to have dialogue with the adherents of other religions in the best possible way. Moreover, this study identifies the ways to promote and strengthen interfaith dialogue in the modern age.

Public piety and Islamic preaching in Bangladesh

ABSTRACT This article proposes ways how to access emotions in Islamic preaching. Conceptually, it brings together the often-juxtaposed spheres of body and mind; nature and culture; aesthetics and religion. Based on extensive research on Islamic sermons in Bangladesh between 2012 and 2015, it stresses the form of public speech as the means to access the emotional potentials of oratory. It argues that a focus on emotions allows us to gain a deeper understanding of Islam as an aesthetic and political formation while at the same time emphasizing processes over static ideas of identity and complicating ideas of political participation. Sermons offer listeners emotionalized roles that are not reducible to state or party narratives and reorient the relationship to nationalism as much as other parts of subjectivities, such as masculinity, sense of justice, or imaginations of the future. The article shows how these debates can be linked to emotions engrained in the vocal qualities of Islamic preaching. To make this argument, it intervenes in debates about the concepts of emotions and affects. It furthermore stresses the role of humour in making emotional potentials transcend a private or literary sphere rather than, as has been done in previous literature, a merely relaxing aspect of oratory. From this perspective, Islamic preaching gatherings evolve as communicative practices that crucially shape configurations of community, extends of the political, and gendered subjectivities.

مکی دور میں مسلم اقتدار کے تصورات کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Details of Madani era are available in the chronicles of history & Sīrah, but this aspect is somewhat terse research, as to when did the efforts to establish the state of Madinah begin? Obviously, the establishment of the state of Madinah is not a coincidence but it was already been planned for, efforts have been made for its establishment and It must have been a reaction too. Therefore, in the Mecca era when did the Holy Prophet think of establishing a state? On what occasions did he express it? Did his opponents understand his thinking? Who they were and how they reacted? What was the ruling of Allah to him in this regard? This article enlights all the above-mentioned aspects and concludes that the establishment of the state of Madinah is not an accident, but the result of Prophet’s constant struggle in the Mecca period, which he has expressed on various occasions. Arab leaders, as well as Jews of Madinah, knew about the prophet's views for the establishment of a state in the near future and opposed him either by creating obstacles in the preaching of Islam or by removing the shreds of evidence from the previous religious literature such as Bible.

RESTORASI MANAJEMEN WAKAF DARI TRADISIONAL MENUJU PROFESIONAL

This study found that waqf is a form of worship that contains a distinct benefit. The distinction of waqf is that its object is permanent and its benefits continue to flow for the benefit of Islamic preaching and the economic improvement. Waqf is not only in the form of immovable objects but also includes all handy objects. This is in accordance with the words of the Prophet, "hold on to the point and give the result." So far, waqf has only been managed traditionally. It needs restoration so that becomes professional, and becomes a potential and useful asset for the benefit of Muslims. Waqf in the history has contributed to Muslim civilization. Waqf as a medium for Islamic preaching (dakwah), such as mosques, universities, and schools because it will becomes the glory of Islam as rahmatal lil 'alamin. Waqf also has a function as a medium for improving the economy of Muslims, because a very urgent need is property to meet the needs of life. Meanwhile, what people face today is poverty. One of them is waqf which is managed productively and professionally. Fourteen centuries ago, the Prophet said, "almost poverty has fallen into disbelief". Therefore, it is necessary to change the mindset or rejuvenate that Islam is not synonymous with poverty and backwardness. So, it is inappropriate for Muslims to live in an Islamic country in poverty even if they are kafir dzimmi (kafir who has the protection in Islamic country).
