Rizieq Shihab, one of the key actors of ABI, wrote two songs known as “Si Ahok Durjana” and “Mars Aksi Bela Islam”. is paper argues that the success of mass mobilization during ABI cannot be separated from the creative use of media and popular culture—including music. e key actors of ABI used music and popular media as framing devices to communicate cognitive meanings, mobilize potential adherents, delegitimize authorities, instill emotional feelings and awaken the collective identity of Muslims. is paper applies new social movement theory that emphasizes the signicance and role of cultural factors in the dynamics of social movements. Keywords: Music, Social Movement, Contentious Politics, Framing, Collective Identity. 53 Studia Islamika, Vol. 28, No. 1, 2021 DOI: 10.36712/sdi.v28i1.11140 54 Rahmat Hidayatullah Abstrak: Artikel ini mengkaji peran musik sebagai repertoar perseteruan dan perangkat pembingkaian yang digunakan untuk menentang legitimasi politik penguasa dan memperkuat identitas kolektif para partisipan dalam rangkaian demonstrasi kolosal Aksi Bela Islam (ABI) di jantung Ibu Kota Jakarta pada penghujung 2016. Dalam peristiwa tersebut, Rizieq Shihab, salah satu aktor utama ABI, menciptakan dua karya musik, yakni “Mars Aksi Bela Islam” dan “Si Ahok Durjana”. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa keberhasilan mobilisasi massa dalam rangkaian ABI tidak dapat dilepaskan dari penggunaan kreatif media dan budaya populer—termasuk musik— oleh aktor-aktor utama gerakan sebagai strategi pembingkaian untuk mengkomunikasikan makna kognitif, memobilisasi pengikut potensial, mendelegitimasi otoritas penguasa, menanamkan perasaan emosional, dan membangkitkan identitas kolektif umat Islam. Artikel ini menggunakan teori gerakan sosial baru yang lebih menekankan faktor kultural dalam dinamika gerakan sosial.

DOI: 10.36712/sdi.v28i1.11140 Studia Islamika, Vol. 28, No. 1, 2021 Music, Contentious Politics, and Identity 55 ne of the most interesting aspects of the “Aksi Bela Islam” (ABI), also known as Islam Defense Action, was the use of Omusic as a repertoire of contention to frame conict issues and generate the collective identity of the demonstrators. During the event, Rizieq Shihab, head of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), wrote two songs: “Si Ahok Durjana” and “Mars Aksi Bela Islam”. e rst work, “Si Ahok Durjana”, was launched by Rizieq on 14th October 2016 (1410 Action or ABI I) and sung along during the march, which started at Istiqlal Mosque, Bareskrim Polri (Criminal Investigation Agency of Indonesian National Police) and culminated in City Hall of DKI Jakarta (JPNN 2016; Panjimas TV 2016a). e second work, “Mars Aksi Bela Islam”, was launched by Rizieq on 4th November 2016 (411 Action or ABI II) at Istiqlal Mosque and sung before the participants moved to the State Palace (Discover Jakarta TV 2016; FSRMM TV 2016). is song also played a big part of the demonstrations on December 2, 2016 (212 Action or ABI III), which were held at National Monument and led by a famous nashīd band that was affiliated with the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), Izzatul Islam (5M Production 2016). Research on the relationship between music and social or political movements is not new, but is still limited. As noted by Street, Hague and Savigny (2007), a considerable amount of literature draws attention to the role of music in public action and

  • 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.

  • Why Are Indonesians Prone to Support the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria?
    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. Dalam aksinya, mereka membunuh banyak orang, merugikan harta benda, serta membuat kerusakan infrastruktur dari wilayah kekuasaannya di Timur Tengah sampai dengan Asia Tenggara. Kabar kekerasan ISIS terdengar melalui media massa, dari internet, dalam artikel berita, dan didiskusikan di media sosial. Namun, dengan segala informasi mengenai kekejaman ISIS, mengapa masih ada orang Indonesia yang mendukung ISIS? Apa yang membuat mereka membenci orang-orang kafir? Apa yang memotivasi mereka untuk berjuang demi ISIS, bahkan sampai rela untuk kehilangan nyawa? Penelitian ini, dengan mengaplikasikan teori konstruktivisme, mendiskusikan kisah sejarah Indonesia dan faktor sosial yang mendasari alasan orang Indonesia mendukung ISIS. Dengan metode penelitian kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui interview dan studi literatur dari buku dan artikel penelitian. Peneliti mendiskusikan total 6 (enam) faktor pendorong dan penarik, mulai dari kisah sejarah, radikalisme di Tanah Air, kecendrungan orang Muslim di Indonesia, dan generasi milenial.

  • Youth, Mosques and Islamic Activism: Islamic Source Books in University-Based Halaqah1
    Youth, Mosques and Islamic Activism: Islamic Source Books in University-based Halaqah1 Hilman Latief* Abstract This paper discusses the emergent religious enthusiasm among young Indone- sian Muslims, with special reference to the university-based halaqah activists in Yogyakarta. Halaqah is a growing phenomenon of socio-religious expression amongst university students. Within the Islamic movement, it has had a new and powerful influence on Indonesian Muslim youth cultures. It provides a sys- tem within which young Muslims seeking a new personal or collective social identity can cultivate their religious orientation and thirst for knowledge. The regional spread of halaqah seems to correspond to the rapidly increasing number of publishers producing the halaqah reference materials that the movement desires, and making them readily available in the market. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive account of the religious, political, and cultural orien- tations of halaqah members by examining the reading materials circulating within halaqah. It argues that campus-based mosques are controlled by two kinds of halaqah, namely Salafi halaqah and Tarbiyah halaqah. The findings also show that Indonesia’s two mainstream moderate-traditionalist and reformist Islamic movements, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama, are less favored by university-based halaqah activists. This is partly because, although both these Indonesian mass organizations are faith-based civil society associations, they both overlook campus-based mosques in their main da‘wa agenda. Keywords Youth, halaqah, Tarbiyah, Islamic activism, and student organizations. * Hilman Latief is a lecturer at the Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta and currently a PhD Candidate at Ultrecht University. 6 4 Introduction ncreasing intellectual transformation in the Muslim world has accel Ierated the spread of social, religious and political ideologies.

  • Muslim Legal Ought in Modern Indonesia. by R. Michael
    Book Reviews / Islamic Law and Society 18 (2011) 116-130 127 Muslim Legal ought in Modern Indonesia. By R. Michael Feener. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2007. Pp. 290. ISBN: 978-0-521-53747-6. £60; $120.99. Michael Feener’s close examination of the intellectual development of Islamic law in Indonesia is an important work that adds to a growing body of literature covering various aspects of Indonesian Islam. ese include works on Muslim organizations and movements,1 Islamic education and Muslim students,2 Qurʾānic exegesis,3 Islamic theology,4 and on Muslim Sufism.5 By offering insights into areas not taken into account by earlier works on Islamic law in modern Indonesia,6 Feener fills in some important gaps. As he states in his preface, the seven chapters of this book examine “the ways in which Indonesian Muslim scholars and activists have formulated new conceptions and interpretations of Islamic law through creative readings and syntheses of diverse materials, including Islamic scriptural sources, classical Muslim jurisprudential texts, and modern Middle Eastern and ‘Western’ academic writings read in light of rapidly evolving social, economic and political contexts” (p. xx). Drawing on Roff,7 Feener points out that three key phenomena have influenced Muslim legal thought in modern Indonesia: voluntary associations, print culture and 1) Taufik Abdullah, Schools and Politics: e Kaum Muda Movement in West Sumatra, 1927-1933 (Ithaca, 1971); Deliar Noer, e Modernist Muslim Movement in Indonesia, 1900-1942 (Kuala Lumpur, 1973); B.

  • Chapter 2: Jemaah Tarbiyah and Islamisation in Indonesia
    Chapter 2: Jemaah Tarbiyah and Islamisation in Indonesia The long process of Islamisation1 that planted its roots in the society of the Indonesian archipelago in the 14th century is by no means yet finished. It continues to bring about change and continuation, from conversion to re-islamisation.2 After Islam gained its roots in Indonesia until now, all efforts of Islamisation carried out by its agents mainly have aimed to bring the followers of Islam closer to practices of orthodox Islam (reform).3 Both traditionalists and modernist have been known for their role in carrying out the reform in different degree and approaches. This ongoing process has also manifested interesting and distinct phenomena through time, depending on the varying contexts of social and cultural change. Over the centuries, Islam has played a major role, not only in shaping society but also in directing the course of Indonesian politics. The fact that Muslims are the majority in Indonesia is considered clear evidence of the importance of Islam. However, to what extent Islam has been adopted at the contemporary structural level is still debatable. In order to gain sufficient knowledge about its role, two distinct approaches: cultural and political, in the Islamisation process need to be presented.4 While cultural approach tends to focus itself effort in Islamising the society, the political (structural) approach prefer to rely on structural and political power in carrying out its Islamisation agenda.5 Thus the emergence of Jemaah Tarbiyah in Indonesia is not an isolated phenomenon, but part of the general process of Islamisation. Through a detailed study of the model and approach of Jemaah Tarbiyah in furthering its dakwah or predication, we can discover the religious and political orientations of the movement, and in particular, the movement's view of the relationship between religion and the state in Indonesia.

  • In Search of Hegemony: Islamism and the State in Indonesia
    In Search of Hegemony: Islamism and the State in Indonesia LUQMAN NUL HAKIM This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Melbourne February 2019 Declaration I certify that this thesis is the product of my own research, fewer than the maximum word limit in length, and contains no material which has been accepted as part of the requirements of any other degree at any tertiary education institution, or any material previously published by another person except where due reference is made. Luqman Nul Hakim i Abstract In post-authoritarian Indonesia, but particularly following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Islamism has become a contentious matter of scholarly debate. The prominent accounts emerging from security and democratisation studies place much analytical weight on ideology and culture by often portraying the relationship between Islam and politics in essentialist fashion, associating the dynamics of Islamism with interpretations of Islamic doctrine or the contest between moderate and radical Muslims. The institutionalist literature, on the contrary, explains the rise of Islamism as the result of the weak capacity of the state following the fall of the centralised New Order authoritarian regime. Another variant draws attention to the moderation of Islamic politics as the result of participation in democratic processes, especially electoral politics. Yet, such linear and teleological explanations obscure the complex circumstances that establish the different trajectories of Islamism. They also fail to comprehend how the prevalence of Islamist discourse on power struggles in the current democracy can produce a more conservative and illiberal form of Islamism.

At the outset, the author will delve literature review on transnationalism and transnational Islam globally. Afterward, it will discuss the presence of transnational Islam, especially Salafi of Jafar Umar Thalib (JUT) in Jayapura and Keerom that has created tension and hostilities within Muslims communities, as well as toward non-Muslim. No doubt, Salafi faction of JUT has tried to promulgate or disseminate radical Islamic teaching through dakwah (propagation) and other activities that threaten Papua Land of Peace (Papua Tanah Damai). As a result, their presence has gotten resistance from some Islamic mass organisations and non-Muslims.
