Layout and cover design: Hafizuldin bin Satar Font: Goudy Old Style Font size: 11 pt Printer: Gemilang Press Sdn Bhd iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS his book grew out of a three-day workshop jointly held by the Regional Studies TProgram, Walailak University, and the Department of Cross-Cultural and Re- gional Studies, Copenhagen University, in Nakhon Si Thammarat, southern Thai- land, in 2006. The theme of the workshop was, “Voices of Islam in Europe and Southeast Asia”. Its aim was to gather leading scholars in the fields of Islamic Stud- ies from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to discuss contemporary developments in the study of Islam and Muslim societies in these two regions. In organizing the workshop it was hoped that a more representative picture could be presented of the diverse understandings and practices of Islam and the dynamism of contemporary Islamic Studies – at a time when a tense international situation and violent insur- gency in southern Thailand were dominating the media headlines, both in Thailand and internationally. Although it was not our intention a great many papers delivered at the workshop focused on Islamic Studies and Islamic education in Southeast Asia. This theme subsequently became the subject of our book. For their help in organizing the workshop we would like to thank the then Dean of the School of Liberal Arts at Walailak University, Dr. Uthai Dulyakasem, for his encouragement, advice, and support at every stage. The University President at that time, Dr. Suphat Poopaka, generously gave the project the university’s back- ing. Our colleagues in the Regional Studies Program, including Jirawat Saengthong, Onanong Thippimol, Phailada Chaisorn, Abdulroya Panaemalae, and Davisakd Puaksom, worked very hard to make the workshop possible. Our thanks also go to our administrative staff, Thatsanee Kanwinphruet, Nathee Phakhawamethawi, Phitchayada Dansakul, Waraporn Manthong, Jiraporn Chuaichu, Sukanlaya Thavornpon, Janjira Kumsuk, Jintana Nunah, and to the students of the Re- gional Studies Program. At the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, Copenhagen University, we thank Dr. Cynthia Chou for her collaboration on this project and Professor Ingolf Thuesen for his willingness to offer his department’s support. The workshop could not have been held – and this book not subsequently pro- duced – without the generous financial support of the following sponsors: the Asia- Europe Foundation and the European Alliance for Asian Studies, the Rockefeller Foundation’s Southeast Asia Regional Program, the Japan Foundation (Bangkok), and the Royal Netherlands Embassy, Bangkok. v We are also grateful to the Aceh Research Training Institute (formally attached to Melbourne University) in Banda Aceh for giving us the opportunity to use their offices at the latter stages of the editing of the book. Our special thanks go to Harold Crouch, Michael Leigh, and Eve Warburton for making our time there both pleas- ant and productive. Finally, we wish to thank Professor Omar Farouk for his assistance at a cru- cial stage in the process of the publication of this volume. We are thankful to Dr. Khairul ‘Azmi Mohamad and Mr. Shaikh Mohd Saifuddeen bin Shaikh Mohd Salleh of Yayasan Ilmuwan, with whom it was a pleasure to work in preparing the manuscript for publication.

Mansurnoor Bibliography 227 Index 247 ii Islamic Studies and Islamic Education in Contemporary Southeast Asia FOREWORD he development of Islamic education in Southeast Asia is tremendous and Treceiving an overwhelming support from the community. Many governments support the establishment of Islamic educational institutions both financially and administratively. In a more recent development, a specialised international university, namely the International Islamic University of Malaysia was established. The university em- ploys a unique methodology in its education system, having Islam at the core of its foundation. At the same time, knowledge which is loosely labelled ‘conventional’ or ‘western’ by some, is not neglected. The approach is synergistic and diverse in nature. More Muslim parents are convinced that an educational institution which cov- ers both parameters of education in their content and environment offers a better option for their children. Interestingly, an institution such as the International Is- lamic University of Malaysia attracts non-Muslims to study and to work at the uni- versity. Nowadays, many schools which are either being ‘Islamic religious school’ in its name or carrying out similar perspective receive strong support from the Muslim community. In Malaysia, it is certainly flourishing. In other parts of Southeast Asia, this system is gaining popularity. What is important is that Islam becomes the pillar of this education system. The product of this education system, namely the students, must also be trained to live according to the teaching of Islam. Life is governed by the tenets of Islam regard- less of its activities. To immediately have a comprehensive and advanced institution may not be possible to all. Initiative, effort and strong-will would assist in gradually realise the establishment of such an institution. Another important aspect is teacher selection and training. Teachers must not be assumed to know what to do. Naturally, they have to meet the necessary criteria. However, if the human resource development part is not given serious attention, they may not be able to cope not only with academic responsibilities, but also in the understanding of the direction of the institution. Therefore, a holistic training module must be developed and performance is continuously monitored in order to meet the standard required. What truly characterise a school or institution to be Islamic is not its name. It is the philosophy, content, environment and leadership that provide completeness iii Islamic Studies and Islamic Education in Contemporary Southeast Asia to the system. When they are well in place, we should be able to predict its positive result. Ideally, a good system is the one that is able to dig and impart knowledge form its original sources, namely the Divine revelations, which are combined with modernity. The discipline of specialisations must be varied and enough to cover the worldly needs. Ultimately, pious professionals with global perspectives should be able to lead the world. Knowledge is truly translated to serve the well being of the community. The era of civilisational glory would perhaps resurface. DR. KHAIRUL ‘AZMI MOHAMAD Executive Chairman, Yayasan Ilmuwan iv Islamic Studies and Islamic Education in Contemporary Southeast Asia INTRODUCTION o-one would deny that in recent years there has been an explosion of interest Nin the study of Islam worldwide, both within the Muslim community and out- side it. Islamic education and the burgeoning field of Islamic Studies in Southeast Asia are no exception. Such interest is contributing to significant changes in the way that the study of Islam is both conceptualized and taught in the region. Once dominated by scriptural interpretation and exegesis, for some years there has been a growing trend towards the

The Southeast Asian Muslims, for example, once re- garded as being peripheral to the world of Islam, are now becoming recognized as model Muslim leaders with exceptional abilities to manage difficult tasks such as their own coun- try‟s economic development, the Islamic financial system, democratization and even aero- nautics.

  • Teaching Islam in Southeast Asia
    Teaching Islam in Southeast Asia By Nelly van Doorn-Harder Teaching about Islam in Southeast Asia is simultaneously one of the most delightful and most frus- trating activities in which to engage. The sheer richness of history, culture, literature, and locally- developed expressions and interpretations of Islam allow a teacher to show a side of Islamic faith and culture that seldom reaches a class focused on the Middle East. Architecture, art, fashion, media, education, and folk festivities provide wonderful illustrations for show and tell. he frustrating part is the paucity of material suitable for POINTS OF HISTORIC IMPORTANCE the level of high school and college students.

  • The Formation of Liberal and Anti-Liberal Islamic Legal Thinking in Indonesia Akh
    Akh. Muzakki IS EDUCATION DETERMINANT? The Formation of Liberal and Anti-liberal Islamic Legal Thinking in Indonesia Akh. Muzakki The University of Queensland, Australia Abstract: Liberalism and anti-liberalism are two increasing- ly prominent but staunchly opposing streams of Islamic legal thinking in Indonesia. This article analyses the formation of each of the two through an examination of the role of formal education. It focuses on organic intellectuals during two periods, the New Order and the reformasi. Challenging the strongly-held thesis of the determinant role of education, this article argues that both liberal and anti-liberal Islamic legal thinking in Indonesia is a result of not only the intellectual formation in the sense of academic training and access to education and knowledge, but also the sociological background and exposure in building a new epistemic community in an urban context. As a theoretical understanding of sociolo- gical background and exposure, the concept of epistemic community deserves to be taken as an analytical framework in addition to education for the analysis of the formation of the two contesting bents of Islamic legal thinking in Indonesia. Keywords: Liberalism, anti-liberalism, Islamic legal think- ing, education, epistemic community. Introduction In his controversial speech entitled “The Necessity of Islamic Renewal Thinking and the Problem of the Integration of the Ummah” on 2 January 1970, Madjid argued for a dynamic approach to Islam which requires reinterpretation of Islamic teachings in context with place and time. In more elaborate ways, he further argued that Islamic values move in line with the spirit of humanitarianism which promotes 280 JOURNAL OF INDONESIAN ISLAM Volume 01, Number 02, December 2007 Is Education Determinant? the dignity of Mankind.

It focuses on how the relationship between Islamic actors of the Cambodian Muslim minority, that is, groups, movements and institutions, and their offline environment shape their online representations and proselytization activities. It particularly considers the observation that theological debate is almost absent in this Islamic social media scene compared to that of other Southeast Asian Muslim societies and attempts to find answers to the question of why this is the case. The article particularly examines the Facebook pages of various Islamic groups and explains the sociopolitical factors and language politics that inform the ways in which they formulate the contents and style of their posts. It shows how the close connections between the political and the religious fields in an authoritarian setting, where the state strongly discourages social discord, have the effect of largely muting debates on social media.

    Sejarah Munculnya Pemikiran Islam Liberal…(Samsudin dan Nina Herlina Lubis) 483 SEJARAH MUNCULNYA PEMIKIRAN ISLAM LIBERAL DI INDONESIA 1970-2015 THE BIRTH OF LIBERAL ISLAMIC THOUGHT IN INDONESIA 1970 - 2015 Samsudin dan Nina Herlina Lubis Universitas Padjajaran, Indonesia E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Naskah Diterima: 15 April 2019 Naskah Direvisi: 20 September 2019 Naskah Disetujui : 28 September 2019 DOI: 10.30959/patanjala.v11i3.522 Abstrak Kemajuan yang dicapai oleh negara Barat dalam bidang ilmu pengetahuan, teknologi, dan ekonomi, berakar pada trilogi liberalisme, pluralisme, dan sekularisme. Atas dasar itulah, beberapa tokoh Islam Indonesia ingin memajukan umatnya dengan trilogi tersebut. Dalam perjalanannya, tokoh Islam seperti Nurcholish Madjid dan Ulil Abshar menuai kritik dari Rasjidi dan Atiyan Ali. Puncaknya adalah ketika MUI mengeluarkan fatwa mengharamkan Islam liberal. Bagaimana gambaran sejarah masuk Islam liberal di Indonesia? Mengapa terjadi polemik Islam liberal di Indonesia? Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, metode yang digunakan adalah metode sejarah, meliputi heuristik, kritik, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, sejarah Islam liberal di Indonesia terbagi ke dalam empat tahap, yaitu: Tahap awal ketika masih menyatu dengan pemikiran neo-modernisme. Kedua, pembentukan enam paradigma Islam liberal. Ketiga adanya kritik dan evaluasi pemikiran Islam liberal. Kemudian sebab terjadinya polemk pemikiran Islam liberal disebabkan oleh perbedaan paradigma berfikir dan metodologi memahami ajaran Islam dalam melihat realitas yang terjadi di masyarakat pada masa kontemporer. Kata kunci: Islam liberal, sejarah, tokoh liberal, polemik. Abstract The progress achieved by Western countries in the fields of science, technology and economics is rooted in liberalism, pluralism and secularism. For this reason, some Indonesian Muslim intellectuals want to reform their people accordingly.
