  • 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.

  • Pondok Pesantren: Changes and Its Future
    Journal of Islamic and Arabic Education 2(2), 2010 45-52 Pondok Pesantren: Changes and Its Future GAMAL ABDUL NASIR ZAKARIA ABSTRACT The tradition of education at Pondok Pesantren in Indonesia and in the Malay world possesses a long history and represents a portion of the history of the growth and spread of Muslims in the region. Pondok Pesantren is not only associated with the meaning of Islam but also incorporates the symbol of authenticity of the Malay community. This educational institution functions as an organization for the study of religious knowledge, preserves Islamic traditions, and produces both Muslim scholars as well as leaders. Pondok Pesantren, during its long history, has successfully proven itself to be an Islamic educational institution which is prestigious, of quality and self-supporting. Although its existence has not been influenced by sociopolitical, economical or cultural changes, this does not mean that Pondok Pesantren does not face problems and challenges, be they internal or external ones. This paper will discuss some issues such as the survival of Pondok Pesantren today and in the future with the fast-paced challenges which are happening around us. Key words: Pondok Pesantren, Islamic Educational Institution, Muslim Scholars, Challenges, Survival. ABSTRAK Tradisi pendidikan pondok pesantren di Indonesia dan di dunia Melayu memiliki sejarah yang san- gat panjang dan merupakan sebahagian daripada sejarah pertumbuhan dan perkembangan umat Islam di rantau ini . Pondok Pesantren tidak hanya dikaitkan dengan makna keislaman sahaja tetapi juga mengandungi simbol keaslian masyarakat Melayu. Institusi pendidikan ini berperanan sebagai wadah untuk mendalami ilmu-ilmu agama, memelihara tradisi keislaman, melahirkan ulama dan pemimpin umat.

  • From Custom to Pancasila and Back to Adat Naples
    1 Secularization of religion in Indonesia: From Custom to Pancasila and back to adat Stephen C. Headley (CNRS) [Version 3 Nov., 2008] Introduction: Why would anyone want to promote or accept a move to normalization of religion? Why are village rituals considered superstition while Islam is not? What is dangerous about such cultic diversity? These are the basic questions which we are asking in this paper. After independence in 1949, the standardization of religion in the Republic of Indonesia was animated by a preoccupation with “unity in diversity”. All citizens were to be monotheists, for monotheism reflected more perfectly the unity of the new republic than did the great variety of cosmologies deployed in the animistic cults. Initially the legal term secularization in European countries (i.e., England and France circa 1600-1800) meant confiscations of church property. Only later in sociology of religion did the word secularization come to designate lesser attendance to church services. It also involved a deep shift in the epistemological framework. It redefined what it meant to be a person (Milbank, 1990). Anthropology in societies where religion and the state are separate is very different than an anthropology where the rulers and the religion agree about man’s destiny. This means that in each distinct cultural secularization will take a different form depending on the anthropology conveyed by its historically dominant religion expression. For example, the French republic has no cosmology referring to heaven and earth; its genealogical amnesia concerning the Christian origins of the Merovingian and Carolingian kingdoms is deliberate for, the universality of the values of the republic were to liberate its citizens from public obedience to Catholicism.

  • RAPPROCHEMENT BETWEEN SUNNISM and SHIISM in INDONESIA Challenges and Opportunities
    DOI: 10.21274/epis.2021.16.1.31-58 RAPPROCHEMENT BETWEEN SUNNISM AND SHIISM IN INDONESIA Challenges and Opportunities Asfa Widiyanto IAIN Salatiga, Indonesia [email protected] Abstract Throughout Islamic history, we observe enmity and conflicts between Sunnism and Shiism, nonetheless there has been also reconciliation between these sects. This article examines the opportunities and challenges of Sunni-Shia convergence in Indonesia. Such a picture will reveal a better understanding of the features of Sunni-Shia convergence in the country and their relationship with the notion of ‘Indonesian Islam’. The hostility between Shiism and Sunnism in Indonesia is triggered by misunderstandings between these sects, politicisation of Shiism, as well as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. These constitute the challenges of Sunni-Shia convergence. One may also observe the ventures of Sunni-Shia convergence which have been undertaken by the scholars of the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, and other Islamic civil society organisations. Grounding on these enterprises and the enduring elaboration of ‘Indonesian Islam’, the opportunities of and the prospects for Sunni-Shia rapprochement in the country are envisaged. [Sepanjang sejarah Islam, kita dapat dengan mudah menyaksikan serangkaian pertikaian dan konflik antara kelompok Syiah dan Sunni. Namun demikian, terdapat pula serangkaian kisah rekonsiliasi antarkeduanya. Artikel ini akan mendiskusikan peluang dan tantangan dalam mendamaikan kedua kelompok tersebut di Indonesia. Selain itu, artikel ini juga memberikan Asfa Widiyanto: Rapprochement between Sunnism and Shiism................. gambaran lebih jelas mengenai karakteristik konvergensi antara Syiah dan Sunni dan hubungan mereka dengan term “Islam Indonesia”. Perseteruan antara Syiah dan Sunni di Indonesia pada dasarnya disebabkan kesalah- pahaman antara keduanya, politisasi Syiah, sekaligus ketegangan politik di Timur Tengah.

  • The Politico-Cultural Dimension of Tabuik Piaman Performance in West Sumatra
    THE POLITICO-CULTURAL DIMENSION OF TABUIK PIAMAN PERFORMANCE IN WEST SUMATRA A s r i l Doctoral student, Graduate School, Indonesia Institute of the Arts, Yogyakarta Abstract This article aims to discuss about performance of Tabuik Piaman from the perspective of cultural policy of the West Sumatra Province and Pariaman District. Tabuik Piaman as a ritual tradition of Muslims Syi’ah has long been a cultural heritage and colossal ritual by Muslims Sunni community in Pariaman district. For the Pariaman people, Tabuik Piaman ceremony has become a space expression of social and cultural community. Each execution of the ceremony is their responsibility. However, the potential and strength of this ceremony was not much gotten serious attention by the government, especially before the early 1980s. In the period of the mid-1960s to late 1980s, Tabuik Piaman just become an arena of influence scrambling by political parties to attract their supporters, then Tabuik Piaman encountered the period of tragic - labeled as "black sheep" riots trigger. Consequently, execution of the ceremony is often discontinued. Although in the mid-1960s the West Sumatra provincial government issued policy concept about “self-esteem restoration”, in order to rebuilding cultural identity especially Minangkabau, and local traditions in each region. In the early 1980s, the government of Pariaman viewed Tabuik Piaman performances as a very positive opportunity to be revived. Government tried to make a policy to create Tabuik Piaman as media publications, promotion, and agent of "identity" as well as a carrier of economic and tourism sectors. Then, the Tabuik Piaman ceremony was changed to tabuik tourism.

  • Jesus in Java : an Orthodox Experience (To Appear in 2001 Studia Missionalia, Pontifica Università Gregoriana)
    1 Jesus in Java : an Orthodox experience (to appear in 2001 Studia Missionalia, Pontifica Università Gregoriana) Father Stephen C. Headley (Moscow Patriachate) One cannot expect a distinctive Indonesian Orthodox theology from a church founded just ten years ago. Furthermore, since the Orthodox Church, the church of the seven councils, is united by one theology, it is to be expected that any variations in that theology will be found in its cultural expression more than in its dogmatic content. In order to describe the conversion of a small number of Indonesians, mostly Javanese, to Jesus Christ and their entering the Orthodox Church (Metropolia of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia; Ecumenical Patriarchate) we need to listen to their witness, and to situate it in the context of the Orthodox in Asia1. We also need to understand something of the cultural milieu in which their journey took place. Peoples are very different and experience Christ in their own way. I have become sufficiently familiar with the island of Java in Indonesia over the last thirty years to willingly admit how much lies outside of my understanding, nonetheless I will discuss the following: - The relation between custom and religion. - The relation between family and religion. - Individual evaluations of faith. - Liturgy and cosmology. The relation between custom and religion in Java One can only approach the Holy Trinity through the voice of Christ. The guards sent by the Pharisees tocapture Christ, on returning empty-handed, said “Never man spake like this man (John 7:45). His voice is also unique for the Javanese Orthodox. In a country where religious practice is so important, and religious pluralism is so much in evidence, the distinctiveness of Christ’s voice is critical.

  • Pesantren: the Miniature of Moderate Islam in Indonesia
    Pesantren: the miniature of moderate Islam in Indonesia Syamsun Ni’am Faculty of Islamic Education, State Institute for Islamic Studies (IAIN), Jember E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Since reformation movement was trundled by students and people in Indone- sia in 1998, all most thought and social movement domain are influenced by the reformation, primarily those relate to the religious understanding and its practice. At the time before reformation the people were in the quo status detention, who used to agree with all the uniformity of thought and move- ment—including in religious practice. However, in line with the reformation movement, the uniformity have been dissolved, so it encourages the emer- gence of various new religious thoughts. These have brought the consequences of emerging issues of islamic liberalism, funadamentalism, moderatism, ect. in Indonesia. The study of moderate Islam Indonesia have found the momen- tum to be seeked the roots of the devolopment in Pesantren. Sejak gerakan reformasi digulirkan oleh para mahasiswa dan masyarakat Indo- nesia pada tahun 1998, seluruh pemikiran dan gerakan sosial telah terpengaruh olehnya, khususnya terkait dengan pemahaman dan praktek keberagamaan. Pada saat sebelum reformasi digulirkan, masyarakat Indonesia berada dalam tekanan status quo, di mana mereka sudah terbiasa hidup dalam keseragaman dalam pemikiran dan gerakan —termasuk di dalamnya adalah praktek keberagamaan. Akan tetapi, dengan digulirkannya gerakan reformasi tersebut, 111 IJIMS, Indonesian Journal of Islam and Muslim Societies, Volume 5, Number 1, June 2015: 111-134 keseragaman (uniformitas) telah menjadi pudar, dan hal ini telah memunnculkan berbagai model pemikiran keagamaan yang baru. Hal ini telah membawa konsekuensi terhadap munculnya isu-isu tentang liberalisme, fundamentalisme, moderatisme, dan sebagainya di Indonesia.

    TAFSIR TARJUMÂN AL-MUSTAFÎD KARYA ‘ABD AL-RAUF AL-FANSHURI: Diskursus Biografi, Kontestasi Politis-Teologis, dan Metodologi Tafsir Arivaie Rahman Pascasarjana UIN Sunan Kalijaga Jl. Laksda Adisucipto, Caturtunggal, Depok, Sleman, Yogyakarta, 55281 e-mail: [email protected] Abstrak: Artikel ini mengkaji tafsir Tarjumân al-Mustafîd karya ‘Abd al-Rauf al- Fanshuri. Penelitian ini difokuskan pada surah al-Fâtihah dan surah al-Baqarah yang menghabiskan setidaknya lima puluh halaman dari tafsir Tarjumân al-Mustafîd. Pendekatan deskriptif dan kuantitatif dalam penelitian ini sangat perlu dilakukan untuk menggapai hasil yang tepat sesuai dengan fakta dan realitas yang ada. Tafsir ini ditulis ketika ‘Abd al-Rauf menduduki jabatan mufti di kerajaan Aceh yang waktu itu dipimpin oleh empat orang sultanah secara bergantian. Meskipun begitu, hampir dapat dikatakan nuansa politis itu tidak meresap ke dalam penafsirannya. Sisi keunikan tafsir ‘Abd al-Rauf ini, ia sangat kontiniu dalam menggunakan kata kunci tertentu untuk mengawali sebuah penafsiran, ditambah lagi dengan bahasa dan aksara yang melekat dalam tafsir semakin menambah kekayaan khazanah tafsir Nusantara yang jarang dimiliki oleh tafsir lain. Abstract: ‘Abd al-Rauf al-Fanshuri’s Tarjumân al-Mustafîd: Biography, Political and Theological Contestation and Tafsir Methodology. This article is an attempt to provide insight to the reader on the interpretation of Tarjumân al-Mustafîd by ‘Abd al-Rauf al-Fanshuri focusing on the sura al-Fâtihah and sura al-Baqarah which consumes at least fifty pages of the Tarjumân al-Mustafîd tafsir. This commentary was written when ‘Abd al-Rauf assumed the position of mufti in the kingdom of Atjeh, which was then led by four sultanahs in turn, although, it is almost arguable that the political nuance did not seep into his interpretation.
