My first thanks and respects I pay to my supervisor Prof. Sean McLoughlin, who, with his expertise in the academic disciplines of the Sociology and Anthropology of Islam, served as a continual inspiration during my PhD research. His critical and detailed reading of multiple drafts of my thesis has helped me to widen and sharpen my analysis. As his student, I have learned and benefited from his knowledge, commitment, guidance, and patience, not only in my PhD research, but also for my whole academic life in the future. I owe many thanks to the staff of the Leeds Humanities Research Institute (LHRI) and the Cavendish office, where I spent most of my working hours, and also to all the staff of the School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science (PRHS). I had many close friends and colleagues during my study in Leeds between 2010 and 2015. I am very grateful for their hospitality and generosity. I would also like to express my gratitude to the Ministry of National Education in the Republic of Indonesia, which provided me with a scholarship through the overseas postgraduate studies programme BLN-DIKTI (Beasiswa Luar Negeri- Pendidikan Tinggi). Without such financial support, it would not have been possible for me to pursue my PhD in one of the UK’s excellent universities. My thanks also go to my home campus – the University of Muhammadiyah Prof. Dr. HAMKA (UHAMKA) in Jakarta – particularly to the Rector, Prof. Dr. H. Suyatno, M. Pd. I would also to thank many people in Indonesia, especially my research participants in Jakarta for their kindness and helpful contributions and comments. I must express my gratitude to all the members of my large family and relations in Indonesia. Thanks go to my husband, M. Hilali Basya, for his consistent encouragement and to my sons, Rafyal Fikri and Kafyal Rusydi, who bring bundles of joy into my life. My deepest gratitude and love goes to my late father, Nana Sutisna, who passed away at the end of my first year of my PhD studies, and to my late mother Hj. Titin Kuraesin, who passed away at the end of my PhD studies. For their endless love, prayers and motivation, I dedicate this work to my parents. iv Abstract This thesis contributes to the analysis of the dakwah (Islamic preaching and mission) of contemporary Islamist movements with a case study of the Indonesian Tarbiyah movement. My analysis borrows from aspects of social movement theory and conceptions of lived religion to illuminate both the official discourses and everyday experiences of the movement in a novel way. I begin by providing an historical framework for understanding dakwah and Islamist movements in modernity (Chapter 1) and by locating Islam(ism) and dakwah in terms of the changing social, political and religious dynamics of colonial and postcolonial Indonesia (Chapter 2). To investigate the Tarbiyah movement, I collected qualitative interviews and fieldwork data in Jakarta during 2012–13 (Chapter 3). In the key chapters of this thesis, I focus on three main arguments: i) that the gradual transition of the Tarbiyah movement from a politically repressed network of religious purists in the 1970-80s into a fully-fledged dakwah political party (the Prosperous Justice Party/Partai Keadilan Sejahtera, PKS) was the outcome of new ‘political opportunities’ which emerged during a period of democratisation 1990-97 (Chapter 4); ii) that the movement’s weekly Liqo (circle of religious teaching) illuminates both the synergies and tensions between official, top-down framing by increasingly formal, outward- looking and pragmatic PKS leaders and the more informal and more conservative networks, the latter remaining a key resource for mobilisation (Chapter 5); and, finally, that the lived experiences of female trainees in the Liqo suggest that this is a space where Tarbiyah movement/PKS norms, lifestyles and dispositions are more or less successfully taught, learned and reproduced principally through the disciplined and repeated performances of embodied piety (Chapter 6). v Table of Contents Acknowledgments ......................................................................................................... iii Abstract .............................................................................................................................. iv Table of Contents ............................................................................................................. v List of figures and tables ........................................................................................... viii Introduction ....................................................................................................................... 9 Chapter 1 Dakwah, Modernity, and Contemporary Islamist Movements . 37 1.1 Introduction ...................................................................................................................... 37 1.2.1 The early period of Islam ..................................................................................... 38 1.2.2 The classical period of Islam .............................................................................. 42 1.3 Muslims' responses to modernity and dakwah in the modern period....... 46 1.3.1 Modernity and its impact on the Muslim world ......................................... 46 1.3.2 Muslims’ responses to modernity .................................................................... 49 1.4 The Islamist notion of ‘active’ dakwah in the modern period ....................... 55 1.5 The contemporary Islamist dakwah movement: the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt ...................................................................................................................................... 62 1.6 Conclusion ........................................................................................................................ 69 Chapter 2 Islam, the State, and Dakwah in Indonesia ...................................... 72 2.1 Introduction ...................................................................................................................... 72 2.2 Muslim campaigns for Indonesian state independence ................................... 74 2.2.1 Muslims’ nationalist campaigns ........................................................................ 77 2.2.2 The establishment of Islamic organisations................................................. 79 2.3 The consolidation of Islamism during Indonesian independence ............... 82 2.4 The Islamists in the New Order period (1966-1997) ....................................... 88 2.5 New opportunities for Islamist movements ......................................................... 98 2.6 Conclusion ...................................................................................................................... 103 Chapter 3 Research Methodology ........................................................................ 106 3.1 Introduction ................................................................................................................... 106 3.2 Research processes and methods .......................................................................... 107 3.3 The application of research methods ................................................................... 112 3.3.1 Review of written sources ................................................................................ 113 3.3.2 Semi-structured interviews ............................................................................. 115 3.3.3 Participant observation ..................................................................................... 124 3.3.4 Focus group discussions (FGDs) .................................................................... 127 3.4 Ethical issues ................................................................................................................. 132 vi 3.5 Subjectivity and positionality .................................................................................. 134 3.6 Analysing and interpreting data ............................................................................ 139 3.7 Conclusion ...................................................................................................................... 142 Chapter 4 The Dakwah of the Tarbiyah Movement: Official Discourses, Leaders, and Transformation ................................................................................. 144 4.1 Introduction ..................................................................................................................

  • Program Studi Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Konsentrasi Kajian Komunikasi Dan Masyarakat Islam
    ANAK MUDA, DAKWAH JALANAN DAN FRAGMENTASI OTORITAS KEAGAMAAN: Studi Atas Gerakan Dakwah Pemuda Hijrah dan Pemuda Hidayah HALAMAN JUDUL Oleh: Muhamad Ibtissam Han NIM: 1620010052 TESIS Diajukan kepada Pascasarjana UIN Sunan Kalijaga Untuk Memenuhi Salah Satu Syarat guna Memperoleh Gelar Master of Arts (M.A.) Program Studi Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Konsentrasi Kajian Komunikasi dan Masyarakat Islam YOGYAKARTA 2018 ABSTRAK Tesis ini mengkaji gerakan dakwah di kalangan anak muda di Bandung, dengan studi kasus Shift Gerakan Pemuda Hijrah dan Pemuda Hidayah. Penelitian ini berkontribusi dalam studi mengenai diseminasi otoritas keagamaan, terutama yang beredar di kalangan anak muda. Penelitian ini adalah studi kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode etnografi selama kurang lebih tiga bulan dengan melakukan serangkaian wawancara mendalam terhadap para aktivis juga jamaah, baik itu dari komunitas Shift Pemuda Hijrah maupun komunitas Pemuda Hidayah, serta partisipasi observasi dengan mengikuti berbagai kegiatan yang mereka selenggarakan. Tesis ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat kesinambungan antara gerakan dakwah yang dipelopori oleh Shift dengan gerakan yang pernah ada sebelumnya di Bandung, yaitu masjid masih menjadi sentral dalam gerakan dakwah. Namun terdapat juga perubahan dari gerakan sebelumnya yaitu aktor-aktor yang berperan penting dalam gerakan tidak lagi berasal dari tokoh yang memiliki pengakuan di bidang keagamaan baik secara figur pribadi maupun afiliasi dengan lembaga agama yang memiliki otoritas. Mereka justru lahir dari komunitas subkultur anak muda. Perbedaan latar belakang komunitas di kalangan anak muda yang berkaitan dengan perbedaan budaya dan kelas sosial membuat aspirasi mereka berbeda. Upaya akomodasi terhadap aspirasi yang berbeda tersebut melahirkan gerakan dakwah jalanan yang semakin beragam. Pada akhirnya otoritas yang dimiliki oleh figur maupun gerakan tidak terpusat pada satu ustaz dan satu gerakan tetapi menyebar kepada banyak ustaz dan juga gerakan sekaligus menyempit pada segmentasi audiensi tertentu.

  • Expanding the Indonesian Tarbiyah Movement Through Ta‘Āruf and Marriage
    Al-Jāmi‘ah: Journal of Islamic Studies - ISSN: 0126-012X (p); 2356-0912 (e) Vol. 54, no. 2 (2016), pp.337-368, doi: 10.14421/ajis.2016.542.337-368 EXPANDING THE INDONESIAN TARBIYAH MOVEMENT THROUGH TA‘ĀRUF AND MARRIAGE Suaidi Asyari*; M. Husnul Abid** *, ** State Institute for Islamic Studies (IAIN) Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi, Indonesia email: [email protected] Abstract This paper will shed light into the most current phenomena of how Islamist groups create and expand their influence and membership. In view of the Islamists like the Indonesian Tarbiyah movement, Islamisation of society and the state is the ultimate goal to be achieved. Families become the most important means of Islamisation. If all families have been successfully made “Islamic”, people and the country will follow suit. Preparing the family as the basis of making up society and the establishment of an Islamic state is, therefore, urgent. One of the ways is to match young men and women to get married through taʻāruf or “Islamic introduction”, which goes against the very popular trend of dating among youths nowadays. In addition to be practiced within Tarbiyah members, marriage is also promoted to the larger public. This group of Islamists use most contemporary modern media to expand their influence. By doing so, this kind of movement will have a tremendous and strong socio-political implication in the long run of Indonesian politics. [Tulisan ini mengkaji fenomena kontemporer tentang bagaimana sebuah kelompok (Gerakan Tarbiyah) membentuk dan meluaskan pengaruh serta keanggotaannya. Kelompok Islam tersebut melihat bahwa Islamisasi masyarakat dan Negara merupakan tujuan utama yang harus dicapai termasuk yang terpenting adalah keluarga.

  • THE ULAMA in INDONESIA: Between Religious Authority and Symbolic Power
    MIQOT Vol. XXXVII No. 1 Januari-Juni 2013 THE ULAMA IN INDONESIA: Between Religious Authority and Symbolic Power Zulkifli Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jl. Ir. H. Juanda No. 95, Ciputat, Jakarta, 15419 e-mail: [email protected] Abstrak: Ulama di Indonesia: Antara Otoritas Keagamaan dan Kekuatan Simbolik. Artikel ini berupaya menguji hubungan antara peranan ulama, otoritas keagamaan, dan kekuatan simbolik dalam masyarakat Muslim Indonesia dengan meneliti sejumlah literatur penting. Dalam studi ini penulis menggunakan kerangka teoretis ahli sosiologi Prancis Pierre Bourdieu, yakni teori praksis yang hampir tidak pernah digunakan dalam kajian agama di Indonesia. Studi ini mengungkapkan bahwa ulama memegang peranan yang strategis dalam masyarakat Indonesia dan peranannya tetap penting dalam konteks perubahan sosial, politik, dan ekonomi yang cepat. Tetapi otoritas keagamaan ulama telah terfragmentasi sejak lama dan media global dan teknologi informasi telah membuat otoritas tersebut semakin plural. Dalam konteks ini otoritas keagamaan merupakan arena yang kompetitif di mana kelompok tradisionalis, reformis, radikalis, dan pendatang baru berkompetisi untuk mencapai pengakuan. Studi ini juga menegaskan bahwa otoritas keagamaan dan pengakuan berjalan hanya dengan adanya kekuatan simbolik. Abstract: This article attempts to examine the relationship between the role of ulama, religious authority, and symbolic power in Indonesian Muslim society by scrutinizing famous literature of ulama in Indonesia. In the study I utilize French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical framework known as theory of practice, hardly ever used in the study of religion (Islam) in Indonesia. The study reveals that the ulama have played a strategic role in the Indonesian society and their role continues to be important in the context of rapid social, political, and economic changes.

Therefore, Wahid presented Islam from democratic and cultural sides.

It can be concluded that Islam presented by Wahid is the Islam that relates to softness, adoring loves, defending the weakness and minority, sustaining to lead the justice, having faith and honesty, tolerance, inclusive, and showing plualities. Keywords: Islam, Islam basic value, plurality ABSTRAK Artikel ini menjelaskan penelitian tentang pemikiran dan tindakan Wahid yang lebih menekankan keislaman pada nilai dasar Islam, bukan pada simbol belaka.

    WHY ARE INDONESIANS PRONE TO SUPPORT THE ISLAMIC STATE OF IRAQ AND SYRIA? Karen Savitri Universitas Pelita Harapan, Tangerang [email protected] ABSTRACT Negara Islam Irak dan Syam, atau lebih dikenal sebagai ISIS, mendeklarasikan dirinya sebagai sebuah khilafah, atau negara Islam, dengan Abu Bakar Al-Baghdadi sebagai Khalifah atau pemimpin atas segala umat Muslim, pada tahun 2014.

  • Sultans, Shamans, and Saints: Islam and Muslims in Southeast Asia. by Howard M
    BOOK REVIEWS Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jaar/article/78/1/290/759120 by guest on 27 September 2021 Sultans, Shamans, and Saints: Islam and Muslims in Southeast Asia. By Howard M. Federspiel. University of Hawai’i Press, 2007. 297 pages. $57.00. To my knowledge, four of Howard M. Federspiel’s works have been pub- lished so far, three in English and one in the Indonesian national language. His earliest work entitled Persatuan Islam: Islamic Reform in the Twentieth Century Indonesia was published in 1970 in the Monograph Series, Modern Indonesian Project, Southeast Asia Program, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. The Indonesian name Persatuan Islam (Islamic Association) was a small Indonesian Muslim association promoting Islamic modernism among the Muslims in Indonesia from 1923 to 1957. Islamic modernism in Indonesia and Malaya during those years had its origins in Islamic modernism of Muhammad Abduh (d. 1905) in Egypt. Federspiel’s second work, Islam and Ideology in the Emerging Indonesian State: The Persatuan Islam (Persis) 1923 to 1957, was published by Brill Academic Press in 2001 and spans 365 pages. This work is clearly an enlarge- ment, addition, or extension to his earlier work. The same work was published later in the Indonesian language in Jakarta in 2004 and it has 479 pages with the Indonesian title Labiran Ideologi Muslim: Pencarian dan Pergulatan Persis di Era Kemunculan Negara Indonesia (1923–1957). In 2006, the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore published his small book of sixty-six pages entitled Indonesian Muslim Intellectuals of the Twentieth Century. His latest work, Sultans, Shamans, and Saints: Islam and Muslims in Southeast Asia, is about Islam and Muslims in Southeast Asia.

  • Bab Ii Kondisi Bangsa Indonesia Sebelum Sidang Bpupki A
    BAB II KONDISI BANGSA INDONESIA SEBELUM SIDANG BPUPKI A.Masa Sebelum Sidang BPUPKI Setiap negara memiliki konstitusi. Demikian halnya bangsa Indonesia sebagai suatu negara juga memiliki konstitusi, yaitu Undang-Undang Dasar 1945. Pembentukan atau perumusan Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 ini menjadi konstitusi Indonesia melalui beberapa tahap.Pembuatan konstitusi ini diawali dengan proses perumusan Pancasila. Pancasila adalah dasar Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia. Pancasila berasal dari kata panca yang berarti lima, dan sila yang berarti dasar. Jadi, Pancasila memiliki arti lima dasar. Maksudnya, Pancasila memuat lima hal pokok yang diwujudkan dalam kelima silanya.1 Menjelang kemerdekaan Indonesia, tokoh-tokoh pendiri bangsa merumuskan dasar negara untuk pijakan dalam penyelenggaraan negara. Awal kelahiran Pancasila dimulai pada saat penjajahan Jepang di Indonesia hampir berakhir.Jepang yang mulai terdesak saat Perang Pasifik menjanjikan kemerdekaan kepada bangsa Indonesia. Untuk memenuhi janji tersebut, maka dibentuklah Badan Penyelidik Usaha-Usaha Persiapan Kemerdekaan Indonesia (BPUPKI) pada tanggal 28 Mei 1945. Badan ini beranggotakan 63 orang dan diketuai oleh dr. Radjiman Widyodiningrat. BPUPKI bertugas untuk mempersiapkan dan merumuskan hal-hal mengenai tata pemerintahan Indonesia jika merdeka. Untuk memperlancar tugasnya, BPUPKI membentuk beberapa panitia kerja, di antaranya sebagai berikut: 1. Panitia sembilan yang diketuai oleh Ir. Sukarno. Tugas panitia ini adalah merumuskan naskah rancangan pembukaan undang-undang dasar. 2. Panitia perancang UUD, juga diketuai oleh Ir. Sukarno. Di dalam panitia tersebut dibentuk lagi panitia kecil yang diketuai Prof. Dr. Supomo. 3. Panitia Ekonomi dan Keuangan yang diketuai Drs. Moh. Hatta. 4. Panitia Pembela Tanah Air, yang diketuai Abikusno Tjokrosuyoso. BPUPKI mengadakan sidang sebanyak dua kali. Sidang pertama BPUPKI terselenggara pada tanggal 29 Mei-1 Juni 1945.
