Fostering Faithful Praxis: Tracing Educators’ Affective Turning Points in an Australian Islamic Teacher Education Program

There has been a rise in Islamic schools in Australia, a trend similarly seen in other Western countries, and yet limited opportunities for teacher preparation on what it means to impart an Islamically grounded education. This study utilizes qualitative research methods, specifically portraiture to shed light on the experiences of in-service Islamic school educators, with varied backgrounds and religious affiliations in a cohort of the Graduate Certificate in Education (Islamic Education) program in Australia. This faith-based teacher education program aims to foster “faithful praxis”, and recenter the Divine in teaching and learning. The research focused on analysing transformative affective shifts as reflected in the program’s final portfolios. Portraits of four participants reflect a reconceptualization of education as a holistic process that aims to nurture the whole student: mind, body, and soul. The portraits also highlight awakening experiences that signify the role of reflexivity and self-reflection of the educator so that educational renewal is of the whole collective in the school community. Implications of this study signify the role of spirituality in teaching and learning and the importance of moving beyond conventional and secular models of teacher education programs.

Exemplar and Educational Preference: The Influence of Religious Figures on Interest in Islamic Education in Indonesia

This current research aims to analyse the influence of religious figures on people's interest in choosing Islamic education in the Indonesian context.

Tinjauan Hadis Terhadap Tradisi Uang Panai dalam Adat Pernikahan Bugis-Makassar (Analisis Isi Hadis dalam Film Uang Panai Maha(r)l)

The tradition of uang panai is one of the traditions that is still preserved by the Bugis-Makassar community in marriage. This tradition is in the form of a sum of money the groom gives the bride as a sign of appreciation and seriousness to marry her. However, the tradition of uang panai represented in the movie “Uang Panai Maha(r)l” shows a shift in value and is not based on Islamic values contained in the sources of Islamic law, namely the Al-Quran and Hadith. This study aims to analyze the content of hadith about the tradition of uang panai in Bugis-Makassar marriage customs represented in the film “Uang Panai Maha(r)l”. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a qualitative content analysis technique. The results showed that the hadiths related to marriage do not contradict the tradition of uang panai as long as they are by Islamic teachings. However, the concept of uang panai in the movie “Uang Panai Maha(r)l” is depicted excessively and contains elements of coercion. Thus, the concept of uang panai in the movie is not by the meaning of the hadith, which recommends making it easier for each other to carry out marriage and walimah. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the tradition of uang panai in Bugis-Makassar wedding customs can be justified if it is carried out by Islamic teachings, namely the recommendation of marriage, the recommendation of facilitating marriage, and the recommendation of organizing walimah. This tradition must be carried out wisely and does not contain elements of coercion. Keywords: Uang Panai, Hadith, Bugis-Makassar Wedding, Film
