  • Digital Islam in Indonesia: the Shift of Ritual and Religiosity During Covid-19
    ISSUE: 2021 No. 107 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 12 August 2021 Digital Islam in Indonesia: The Shift of Ritual and Religiosity during Covid-19 Wahyudi Akmaliah and Ahmad Najib Burhani* Covid-19 has forced various Muslim groups to adopt digital platforms in their religious activities. Controversy, however, abounds regarding the online version of the Friday Prayer. In Islamic law, this ritual is wajib (mandatory) for male Muslims. In this picture, Muslims observe Covid-19 coronavirus social distancing measures during Friday prayers at Agung mosque in Bandung on 2 July 2021. Photo: Timur Matahari, AFP. * Wahyudi Akmaliah is a PhD Student at the Malay Studies Department, National University of Singapore (NUS). Ahmad Najib Burhani is Visiting Senior Fellow at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute and Research Professor at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Jakarta. The authors wish to thank Lee Sue-Ann and Norshahril Saat for their comments and suggestions on this article. 1 ISSUE: 2021 No. 107 ISSN 2335-6677 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the use of digital platforms in religious rituals was already becoming an increasingly common practice among Indonesian preachers to reach out to young audiences. During the pandemic, some Muslim organisations and individual preachers have speeded up the use of such platforms as a way to communicate with people and to continue with religious practices among the umma. • Among religious rituals that have shifted online are the virtual tahlil (praying and remembering dead person), silaturahim (visiting each other) during Eid al-Fitr, haul (commemorating the death of someone), and tarawih (night prayer during Ramadan).

  • Daily Prayers
    Islam ​ Salat: Daily Prayers Salat: Daily Prayers Summary: Daily prayer (salat) is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Salat begins with ritual ablution (wudhu) as preparation ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ for prayer. Muslims pray facing the qiblah (direction of Mecca), often indicated in mosques by a mihrab (niche in the wall). ​ ​ ​ ​ Fridays and holidays like Eid include performance of other types of salat. ​ ​ One of the most distinctive aspects of Muslim life is the emphasis on daily ritual prayer. Ritual prayer, called salat, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam; every Muslim after reaching adolescence is required to ​ ​ perform five daily prayers. The prayers punctuate the whole day: the first prayer takes place before sunrise, followed by a prayer at midday; the third is at mid-afternoon, another after sunset, and the final prayer when the sky grows dark. The salat provides a regular interruption of the day’s activities in order ​ to focus the mind and heart on the first priority of life, service to God. Muslims prepare for prayer by performing ritual ablutions, called wudu. This begins with washing of the ​ ​ hands, followed by rinsing of the nose and mouth, washing of the face, ears, arms, hair, and finally ending at the feet. It is a complete ritual washing that prepares the worshipper physically for the prayer. Facing the qiblah, the direction of Mecca, worshippers stand to begin the prayer. They state their ​ ​ intentions, raise their hands, and pronounce “Allahu akbar” (God is greater). This is followed by ​ ​ recitation of Qur’an, and other formulas of praise and glorification of God corresponding to each of the four postures of salat which are standing, bowing, prostrating, and sitting.

  • Tarawih Prayerprayer
    TarawihTarawih PrayerPrayer In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Compassionate There are some misconceptions about tarawih prayer and how many raka'a it has. While some are saying any addition to 8 raka'a is bidah others are saying that not praying 20 raka'a is rejecting the Sunnah and the consensus of the Sahabah. So what's the truth and the right way concerning the question of how many raka'a tarawih prayer has? And in addition to that, is it obligatory to recite the whole Qur'an during tarawih prayer? Should Tarawih prayer be offered individually or in congregation? It should be said that the vast majority of the scholars of hadith, fqh, and the four mujtahid Imams are in agreement that 20 raka'a are the most appropriate, followed by 3 raka'a of witr, and this is also the opinion of Ahmad ibn Taymiyyah! But frst let's look what tarawih is. Tarawih is a highly emphasised recommended prayer. It was called that because after they used to pray four units they would rest for a short while. The literal meaning of the Arabic term ‘tarawih’ is derived from the root word ‘rauh’ or ‘raha’ which basically means to take a rest. Because it is customary to take a small break or rest halfway through these extra voluntary prayers of the nights of Ramadan, it came to be called and recognized as the ‘tarawih’ prayers so as to distinguish them from other voluntary night prayers. Some linguists stated that Taraweeh is the plural of Tarweehah, which in origin is a name given for the practice of sitting.

DURING THIS PANDEMIC / LOCKDOWN - It is not permissible for women to lead men in any Salah. It is also Makruh Tahreemi to have a woman only BY: MUFTI EBRAHIM DESAI (HAFIDHAHULLAH) Jama’ah. IMPORTANCE: CORRECTING THE IMAM: It is Sunnah Mu’akkadah for males and females to perform 20 Rakāts of Tarāweeh Salāh. - A person not in the same Salah as the Imam cannot correct the mistakes of the Imam. Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) mentioned: “Whoever stands in Ramadhān (i.e. Tarāweeh) with Imān - If a Non-Baligh of understanding age corrects the Imam whilst in Salah, it is permissible. (Fatawa and hoping for reward from Allah, all his past sins will be forgiven”. (Bukhari, 1/16) Raheemiyyah 6/234 – Isha’at) - A woman should not correct any mistakes of the Imam, she should rather clap her hand (hit right hand NUMBER OF RAKATS: on left) and alert the Imam. If she does correct the mistake and the Imam accepts the correction, the Salah Ibn Abbas (Radhiyallahu Anhu) narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) used to pray will be valid.
