Nikah Muda: The Hijrah Movement of Anti-Dating Communities from Progressive to Conservative in Indonesia (A Critical Study of Hadith)

The proliferation of hijrah groups among youth has had a significant impact, with positive outcomes such as enhanced religious understanding among teenagers and an increase in the adoption of more Islamic attire. However, this has also brought about negative consequences, including the dissemination of radical and textual interpretations, leading to conservatism. This article aims to uncover the controversy surrounding early marriage among Muslim millennials, driven by a tendency towards textual religious understanding. The research employs a qualitative method, drawing primary data from social media platforms of anti-dating millennial communities and online Islamic organizations in Indonesia. Secondary data were sourced from books, journals, and other relevant articles. The research findings indicate that controversy arises from the selection of hadith texts and differing interpretation methods. Anti-dating communities use motivational hadiths to support early marriage, employing a literal textual understanding related to sexual motivation, religious and individual piety, the vision of a happy family, emulation of the Prophet's marriage, and assurance of sustenance from Allah. Conversely, scholars use hadiths to reject early marriages with contextual understanding. The disregard of the youth for the views of scholars opposing early marriage indicates a shift in religious authority among Muslim millennials from traditional figures to influencers popular on social media. Early marriage reflects the hybridization of the religious identity of Muslim millennials, maintaining religious values while remaining trendy and cool. The re-reading of hadiths is conducted by examining the social-historical context and contemporary circumstances within the discourse of modernity.

The Relationship between the Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and Social Media Use in Articulating Islamic Identity among Muslim Millennials

Current technological developments have both positive and negative impacts. One of the negative impacts of excessive use of social media is that it can lead to addiction, cyberbullying, and fear of missing out (FoMO). It can even erode one's identity, as it is influenced by widely circulated videos on social media. The purpose of this research is to analyze the relationship between FoMO, problematic use of social media, and expressions of Islamic identity. The FoMO scale, social media disorder scale, and Instagram Islamic identity scale were used as measuring tools in this research. A quantitative approach was employed, using multiple analyses, which revealed that both FoMO and problematic use of social media contribute simultaneously to the expression of Islamic identity. The subjects of this research were 177 Indonesian millennial Muslims who actively participated in the Instagram migration movement. Problematic use of social media and expression of Islamic identity had an effective contribution of 40.6% (36.7% from social media use and 3.9% from FoMO). Additionally, we found that questionable social media use had a significant correlation with the articulation of Islamic identity, while FoMO itself had no correlation with it. These results can serve as a basis for future research on the expression of religious identity on social media and the development of interventions to address excessive social media use.

The findings contribute to online food delivery service providers by encouraging the inclusion of halal information in their applications, prompting halal certification organizations to enhance socialization efforts regarding the significance of certification, and urging the public to elevate religious belief and halal awareness.
