Social Problems of Islam in Modern Indonesia in Muslim Academic Periodicals

The purpose of the article is to analyse the modern Muslim intellectual tradition in Indonesia in the context of analysing the social problems of Islam. The novelty of the study lies in a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the main trends and directions in the development of Muslim social thought in modern Indonesia. Methodologically, the article is based on the principles proposed in intellectual and social history, which allows us to perceive Muslim intellectuals involved in the study of the social problems of the Ummah as an imagined community, and their ideas as invented traditions. The article analyses 1) the theoretical and methodological foundations of modern Indonesian sociology of Islam, 2) national specifics and regional features of the development of Islam in Indonesia in modern Muslim thought, 3) the problems of transformation and contradictions of the radicalization of Islam through the prism of understanding and interpreting this dimension of the modern social history of Islam. It is assumed that Muslim intellectuals make a significant contribution to the consolidation of modern identity by analysing both the social characteristics and characteristics of the Ummah, as well as the threats faced by the Indonesian model of Islam in a secular society in the context of the actualization of the ideas of radical Islam. The author's main conclusions include several points: 1) professional Muslim intellectuals make a major contribution to the development of modern Muslim sociology, 2) specialised journals published by Islamic universities play a leading role in the production and relaying of social knowledge based on Islam, 3) modern Muslim intellectual tradition is the subject to fragmentation, but, in general, the scientific tradition of the Ummah actualizes moderate trends in Islamic Sociology, based on the principles of interdisciplinarity.

Collaborative Preaching for Collective Trauma Healing: A Model from Indonesia

In this article, I propose a collaborative preaching model for healing collective trauma. It begins with the preaching context of a society in the grip of collective trauma after a traumatic event. Taking the May 1998 tragedy in Jakarta, Indonesia, as a case study and employing descriptive, historical, and analytical methods, this study argues that the Church is called to respond to collective trauma in its ministries as part of God’s mission. The research focuses specifically on the ministry of preaching and explores theories of trauma-aware preaching to affirm that preaching can indeed be a medium for healing collective trauma. I then present a collaborative preaching model for collective trauma healing by integrating a conversational preaching approach with the local Indonesian traditions of gotong-royong and musyawarah-mufakat.

Guarantee’s Right In Marriage By Perspective Of Women’s Study: A Gender Perspective

Departing from the shift in the meaning of ijbar which is identified with ikrah by most Indonesian people, especially in the gender perspective, the center for women's studies UIN Sunan Kalijaga, encourages researchers to conduct a study on the development of the implementation of ijbar rights in Indonesia today as well as legal regulations regarding the implementation of ijbar rights in marriage which are still a tradition in Indonesia and legal protection for women's human rights that have been degraded as a result of forced marriage as a consequence of the application of ijbar in a marriage. The type of research used is field research with a legal-formal approach. The results showed that the absolute right of ijbar thereafter should no longer be exercised in Indonesia after the birth of the Marriage Law and the Compilation of Islamic Law. From a number of chapters it is clear that the permission of the bride and groom, or prospective husband and wife, is an important component of the marriage itself. The concept of ijbar has a legal basis in fiqh, fiqh experts have different opinions about forced marriage (ijbar). Center for Women's Studies UIN Sunan Kalijaga provides two types of legal protection for women whose human rights are violated because of marriage with ijbar rights from the point of view of Islamic law. First, every woman has the same right to choose her partner. Second, a woman may ask her guardian's permission to marry her without his knowledge or consent.

The Role of Local Cultural Heritage in Community Empowerment: The Case of Gentur Lantern in Jambudipa Village, Indonesia

ABSTRACT Ngalogat is a type of pesantren tradition in Indonesia that is increasingly recognized as a local cultural heritage. However, there have been limited studies on the local potentials and assets in Jambudipa Village. This paper aims to explore the transformation of the Ngalogat tradition into new commodities, specifically Gentur lantern crafts, as a contribution to heritage studies. The research utilized a phenomenological approach involving observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that the preservation of Ngalogat as a Gentur lamp commodity is indirectly influenced by religious figures advising students (Santri) living in Jambudipa and promoting the iconic heritage to residents. This has led the local government to initiate One Village One Product program, involving locals in producing Gentur lamps. While the pesantren traditions were once viewed with suspicion during the Dutch colonial regime, the post-independence era has brought hope for preserving local cultural heritage as a national identity and a driver of national development. However, these potentials have not been fully realized as authentic crafts of the people. This study suggests that the government should assist local communities in nominating intangible cultural assets to the World Heritage Committee (WHC) to gain recognition and protection of local identity.

The unique dowry tradition in Indonesia is called “belis” with the raw elephant tusks where the origin is still a mystery and will certainly be controversial at this time because they are prohibited to be traded and used.

Islamic communication as an invention of modern-western knowledge: critical analysis toward Islamic communication in Indonesia

ABSTRACT This article questions the idea that Islamic communication is rooted purely in the religion itself. By studying the field of Islamic communication studies in Indonesia, it analyzes discourses which produce knowledge of Islamic communication. Foucauldian archaeological method is employed to examine literatures, textbooks, and other sources which form regulated statements about Islamic communication tradition in Indonesia, developed by both public university scholars and Islamic scholars in the nation. The author argues that Islamic communication traditions in Indonesia are the product of modern developmentalism discourse which dominated in the New Order era (1966–1998). As a consequence, Islamic communication tradition in Indonesia is currently unable to provide an alternative perspective in much broader communication studies. This article proposes revisiting the history of Islamic communication within certain local contexts and use of the Islamic discourse as a criticism toward every kind of domination, including the domination of knowledge termed Islamic.

Patterns of Inheritance Distribution in Tlogoharjo Village, Giritontro Subdistrict in the Review of Islamic Law

The pattern of inheritance distribution in rural communities is a complex phenomenon, especially when viewed from the perspective of Islamic law. With the diversity of ethnicities, races, languages, religions, and traditions in Indonesia, differences arise regarding the pattern of inheritance distribution in the community. The fundamental thing about the inheritance system is the distribution of inheritance that is in line with the current legal regulations. This research aims to analyze the pattern of inheritance distribution in the community of Tlogoharjo Village, Giritontro Subdistrict, with a focus on related aspects of Islamic law. This research was conducted using field research with a qualitative method with a descriptive approach which is one of the qualitative research methodologies and data collection techniques by means of observation and interviews. The results of this study are that the pattern of distribution of inheritance property both before and after the heir dies is allowed in Islamic Law as long as there is no element of harm, this is because Islamic Law accepts culture and custom as legal norms that must be obeyed if there is no deviation in it and Islamic law is flexible which can be developed according to the needs of people living in the modern era today. Furthermore, the pattern of inheritance distribution in Tlogoharjo Village is still strongly influenced by customary values and local traditions, although Islam is formally the legal basis. However, there is a tendency for adjustments to the principles of Islamic law in the practice of inheritance distribution. For example, the inheritance rights stipulated in the Qur'an and Sunnah tend to be respected, although sometimes with interpretations adapted to the social and cultural context of the village community. This research also highlights some differences between the practice of inheritance distribution in village communities and the ideal principles of Islamic law. Factors such as lack of understanding of religious teachings, hereditary traditions and economic factors play an important role in shaping inheritance distribution patterns.

The external environmental conditions that become the opportunities are the changes in people's lifestyles, the support from the government for tourism development and the outstanding image by tourists. The strategic options that can be taken are making the activity of drinking tea a tradition in Indonesia, increasing the educational tours of picking and processing tea, working with the government to build roads that facilitate the tourists to get to the tourist attractions safely and increasing the electrical installations around the tourist attractions as well as educating the public and the tourists about the conservation of the environment.

ISLAM AND CULTURAL LOCALITY OF NYEKAR TRADITION IN INDONESIA

Nyekar or commonly known as cemetery pilgrimage is a culture in Indonesia that is frequently carried out by the Javanese community. It involves scattering flowers on graves and praying collectively. Nyekar is done to remind people of the inevitability of death that will eventually befall all living creatures in the world. This research focuses on the history of the tradition of pilgrimage or nyekar in Indonesia, the tradition of nyekar itself from an Islamic perspective, and the purpose of the pilgrimage tradition in various regions of Indonesia. The aim of this research is to understand the history of the emergence of the pilgrimage tradition in Indonesia, to understand pilgrimage according to Islamic views, and to understand the purpose of pilgrimage in several regions in Indonesia. This research uses secondary data such as journals, articles, and other relevant sources. The study was conducted by collecting data from written sources related to the research topic. However, some of the main issues in this research are still based on empirical answers found in the study. The results of this research indicate that the nyekar tradition was formed due to the cultural acculturation of Islam, Javanese, and Hindu traditions. In the Islamic view, cemetery pilgrimage or nyekar was initially forbidden as a form of worship but later encouraged in religion. The purpose and goals of cemetery pilgrimage differ from each individual, depending on their beliefs and intentions.

Analisis Putusan Majelis Hakim Pengadilan Negeri Balige terhadap Penerapan Hukum Waris Adat Batak dalam Pembagian Hak Waris

Patrilineal inheritance, a customary system practiced in various Indonesian traditions, designates inheritance passing through the paternal lineage. However, complications arise when heirs lack male descendants or those recognized as legitimate by customary norms. Customary practices within the community often address these issues. Judicial panels frequently adjudicate disputes related to patrilineal inheritance to ensure equitable resolutions. Judges, empowered by the Judicial Power Law No. 48 of 2009, make decisions based on a comprehensive understanding of the legal framework and case circumstances. A case analysis, specifically Verdict Number 3494 K/Pdt/2016, concerning the inheritance dispute among the Batak Toba customary community, revealed that evidence from documents and testimonies proved the disputed land belonged to the appellants. The land, previously acquired by the appellants' mother through purchase from the Nagari, was not part of the inheritance left by the appellants' grandfather. However, the decision in settling the Batak Toba customary dispute in Verdict Number 3494 K/Pdt/2016 did not align with the principles of patrilineal inheritance customary to the Batak Toba community. This divergence stemmed from the judges' consideration that the disputed land constituted communal property resulting from the marriage between the late Yakob Sitinjak and the late Sanggul Boru Sinaga.

Case Study Of Mawe Tradition: The Theology Study Of Spirit Summoning Rituals In Buru Island, Maluku

Cultural traditions in Indonesia are very diverse, including the Mawe tradition on Buru Island, Maluku which is believed to be able to provide clues to uncover cases or problems that often occur. Uniquely, this tradition uses the spirits of deceased ancestors, which is a ritual led by traditional elders to provide clues that can explain a problem. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach and analysis of supporting Bible verses. As a result, from the theological studies conducted, it is known that rituals of seances have also been carried out in the biblical tradition, but it is clear that this tradition is contrary to the Bible. The Christian theological view is very clear that believers are not justified under any circumstances to perform seances because it is a form of syncretism.
