Pattern of Problem Solving in Religious Harmony Forum

Nur Syam — 2024-08-29

This article aims to deepen the patterns of conflict resolution over religious issues in the Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) in three different provinces, namely North Sumatra, West Java, and East Java. In addition, to recognize the value and role of collegial collective leadership in solving inter-religious problems in each province. This research chose a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The data revealed is in the form of verbal expressions from the subjects or key informants and informants and then recorded and written according to the categories that have been determined. A multisite design was used in this research because the study focused on FKUB's collegial collective leadership in resolving inter- or internal life problems among religious communities. The result of this study disputes between religious communities and the construction of houses of worship are two issues that are often assisted by FKUB in their resolution. Negotiations between religious adherents are used to seek answers to problems in the context of conflict resolution based on local wisdom, inclusive diversity, upholding mutual respect and equality, and are open to accepting ideas and views, from different points of view.

A Study Of The Problematic Tradition And Modernity In Islamic Thought Based On A Contemporary Approach

Abdul Mukti Rouf — 2024-08-29

This study is primarily concerned with the challenges posed by the Arab-Islamic revival and its relationship to the system of reason that is intrinsic to the Arab-Islamic tradition of thought. The object of this study can be traced through the dialectics of contemporary Islamic thought, as evidenced in the tenets of several dominant madhabs, including those espoused by fundamentalists, liberalists, Marxists and post-traditionalists. The data is studied and analysed through the lenses of hermeneutics and the sociology of knowledge. This study finds that one of the causes of the decline and stagnation of the revival of Islamic civilisation in terms of its epistemology is the unduly strong Arab-Islamic system of thought, which relies on the glory of the past without a critical reading of the past itself and of modernity as an achievement of Western civilisation.

A New Paradigm of Common Link Theory in Contemporary Hadith Studies

Abdul Hakim Wahid — 2024-08-29

This article aims to explore the theory of common links in contemporary hadith research which was used differently from the beginning of its invention by Joseph Schacht and developed by Juynboll, who focuses only on discovering the originator or person in charge of the dissemination of a hadith. By using qualitative research with a historical approach, this article concludes that in the current context, the common link theory can be used to strengthen the authenticity of the prophet’s hadith because by using the source of the entire hadith book, a person with a common link status will be signed to a companion and even the prophet himself. Given the analysis that has been provided, it is clear that hadith scholars who are Muslim and non-Muslim have taken a keen interest in and debated Joseph Schacht's common link thesis, which Juynboll further expanded. Individual religious beliefs significantly influence the implementation and acceptance of the theory, resulting in differing degrees of support and criticism. There is no denying the common connection phenomena among isnad systems, even if many Muslim academics have widely rejected it. This research indicates that the common link theory can be used to support the veracity of particular hadiths, in contrast to some objections. Its potential utility in hadith validation is highlighted by the research, which finds cases in which the common link is attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his associates.

Semiotics of Islamic Law

Ahmad Junaidi — 2024-08-29

Many Muslims are trapped in carrying out formal rituals of the Sharia without understanding and appreciating the nature and essence of what it contains. Many underestimate it and even dare to abandon the formal rituals of the Sharia because the formal ritual practice of the Sharia is no longer needed once its nature and essence are understood. These two extreme points have always adorned the face of Muslims, from early times to the most recent modern times. Ibn ‘Arabi was a Sufi figure from Andalusia, Spain, who paid great attention to the issue of the dichotomy between Sharia and nature. The effort he made was to give symbolic meaning to Islamic legal texts. Aimed at a deeper understanding of the Koran and by the invitation to preach to Allah through wise methods (al-baṣīrah). This effort aims to balance al-kashf and the practice of worship both in general and in detail. The important aim of this symbolic meaning is ultimately for one's safety (bi najāti nafsihi) in addition to preaching the teachings of Islam and the teachings of Sufism in depth. His intellectual chain was then continued by his students and then developed to this day and has an influence on the work and ideas of the next generation.

Cultural Representation of Babukung Dance Funeral Ceremony Ritual of The Dayak Tomun Tribe as a Media for Character Building through Local Wisdom

Fimeir Liadi — 2024-08-29

The Babukung/Habukung ritual is only believed by people who follow the Kaharingan religion, the community believes that the Babukung ritual can help the process of someone who has passed away, so the Babukung ritual is divided into three functions. Firstly, to summon the spirits of the ancestors. Second, to provide entertainment for the family. Third, to ease the financial burden on the family left behind. Babukung rituals are usually performed in the morning and at night. Bukung dance is still performed by Dayak people in 3 (three) villages Sudan, Karuing and Parit. Other villages are not heard of them performing Bukung dance, because they have been influenced by the entry of other religions, such as Christianity, Catholicism, Islam and Hinduism. Unlike these three villages, although they already have Christianity, Catholicism and Hinduism, they perform Bukung dance as a legacy of their ancestors. This research illustrates the phenomenon that exists in the midst of society, that the culture and behaviour of the community become special characteristics as a description of the uniqueness of the community itself. Traditional culture that has been rooted into beliefs continues to be carried out by the community as an embodiment of the heritage of their ancestors. This noble culture originating from the ancestors continues to be preserved, despite the onslaught of information technology that is increasingly intensive on human culture.

Domestication of Women

Alfi Qonita — 2024-08-29

This article aims to look at the portrait of the role of women both in the public and domestic. This Research is comparing the thoughts of Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir and Huzaemah Tahido Yanggo with their expertise that upholds the spirit of egalitarian and justice. The research is literature using a reciprocal hermeneutic approach. Reciprocal or often called mubadallah has the characteristics of returning to the text, context and contextualizing in life. Some of the principles used in this approach are to look for the main message in the text and ignore subjects/objects that point to a particular gender, so that all laws can apply equally. The dual role in this study is often experienced by women (it can also happen to men) because they do domestic work while working in the public sphere. This will be a big problem in every household if a family does not apply the concept of 'parallelism'. Both the thoughts of Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir and Huzaemah T. Yanggo use the concept of reciprocity when reading texts from both the Qur'an and hadith with relationships, so that the message of 'cooperation' and partners built in the relationship between men and women can be built in everyday life.

A Comparative Analysis of the Muhammadiyah and Salafi-Wahhabi Da'wah Movement

Hendar Riyadi — 2024-08-29

Muhammadiyah is an Islamic organization that has a very comprehensive organizational structure. It is called comprehensive because Muhammadiyah does not only deal with theological issues, but Muhammadiyah also focuses on social-community issues, especially education, health and social welfare simultaneously. This is what makes Muhammadiyah a very unique movement, because Muhammadiyah is characterized by a movement to purify religious teachings (tajrid) in religious belief (Aqidah and Worship) which is combined with the principles and spirit of renewal (tajdid) in the world affairs. Recently, many people have the view that Muhammadiyah is another form of one of the purification movements that was born in the land of Hijaz, Salafi-Wahhabi. This conclusion is only based on several points of view between Muhammadiyah and Salafi-Wahhabi in several partial issues. The focus of the study in this paper is the comparison between Muhammadiyah and Salafi-Wahhabi. The argument in this paper is that Muhammadiyah and Salafi-Wahhabi are two very different typologies of Islamic movements. This is at least shown by five selective themes that are compared between the two, namely aspects of worldview (aqidah), ethos (ethics), religious views and epistemology of religious thought (manhaj), as well as their responses, especially to the issues of pluralism and gender.
