Faith-Based Political Communication in Mandailing Natal’s Regional Elections
Full text linkThis study examined the role and strategies of ulama in political communication during the regional elections (Pilkada) in Mandailing Natal Regency, Indonesia—a region where religious authority plays a central role in shaping political behavior. This research adopted a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, which were selected purposefully for their active involvement in the local political landscape. Apart from that, observation and documentation were also used as data sources. Data were analyzed thematically using NVivo 12 Plus software. The findings revealed that ulama, as trusted religious figures, conveyed political messages through traditional religious forums such as majelis taklim and Friday sermons, as well as through digital platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook. These messages, rooted in Islamic values, emphasized leadership integrity, justice, and civic responsibility. The ulama’s communication strategy, which blended religious authority with cultural symbolism, significantly influences voter perceptions and participation. This study also highlighted the risk of social polarization when the ulama acts as partisan figures. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on religion and politics by offering insights into the symbolic and practical dimensions of faith-based political communication in Muslim-majority contexts. It also underscores the importance of ethical boundaries to ensure that religious leadership strengthens democratic engagement rather than undermining social cohesion
The Crucial Role of Police Intelligence in Navigating Identity Politics during Elections in Indonesia
Full text linkThis study investigated the influence of identity politics on Indonesia’s electoral dynamics during the 2014 and 2019 elections and evaluates the role of the National Police Security Intelligence Agency in addressing these challenges. Amidst the backdrop of low political literacy and the pervasive influence of social media, religious and ethnic tensions were notably manipulated for electoral gain. The research employed qualitative methods, including interviews, observations, and document analysis, primarily conducted in Jakarta. It revealed that the National Police adopted a "cooling system" intelligence strategy to effectively mitigate conflicts arising from identity politics while also considering the impact of global political trends on local scenarios. This study contributes to the development of an operational intelligence policing model, offering strategic insights for managing identity-based conflicts in democratic elections. This research not only enriches the academic discourse on electoral security and democracy but also provides actionable insights for policymakers and law enforcement agencies aiming to uphold democratic integrity amidst challenging political climates
Resistance to Religious Moderation in Indonesian’s Lower to Middle-Class Communities
Full text linkLower-to-middle-class communities in Indonesia continue to exhibit resistance to religious moderation, frequently perceiving it as a foreign concept influenced by Western ideologies. This misconception persists even though religious moderation is deeply rooted in Islamic tradition and represents neither a new religion nor a secular invention. Such resistance often manifests through overt, semi-covert, and covert strategies, reflecting varying levels of opposition ranging from open rejection to more subtle forms of disengagement. This study employed a qualitative approach, drawing on data from online media platforms to analyze patterns of resistance and their underlying causes. The findings revealed that resistance was frequently driven by misinformation, distrust of government-led initiatives, and a limited understanding of the historical and theological foundations of religious moderation. These attitudes fostered intolerance and social fragmentation, posing a serious threat to national resilience, democratic values, and social harmony. Furthermore, the study emphasized that addressing resistance required not only educational interventions but also inclusive policymaking that bridged the gap between state narratives and grassroots religious experiences. The research offers crucial insights for policymakers and educators in developing culturally sensitive and community-based strategies to promote religious moderation and counteract the growing tide of intolerance in diverse socio-religious contexts across Indonesia
Cultivating Peace through Education: A Case Study of Social Studies in Aceh’s Junior High Schools
Full text linkAceh, a post-conflict region in Indonesia, continues to face challenges in fostering social cohesion and reconciliation through education. Despite its crucial role in peacebuilding, peace education remains insufficiently integrated into the formal curriculum. This study investigated the systematic incorporation of peace education within the junior high school Social Studies curriculum in Aceh through a Research and Development (R&D) design. The research consisted of three phases: (1) curriculum mapping to identify opportunities for peace-related themes, (2) development of a structured peace education module, and (3) evaluation of its effectiveness through classroom observations, focus group discussions (FGDs), interviews, and pre- and post-tests involving 70 students and 9 teachers in Pidie Regency. Findings showed that values such as tolerance, mediation, and conflict resolution are implicitly present in existing materials but lack structured pedagogical integration. The developed module, validated by experts and teachers, significantly improved students’ understanding of peace concepts, empathy, and conflict resolution skills. Embedding peace education into existing curricula, rather than introducing it as a separate subject, proved more sustainable and contextually effective. The study highlighted the importance of comprehensive teacher training and supportive policy frameworks to enable large-scale implementation, this research supports Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4 and SDG 16), advancing quality education, peace, and strong institutions. The model offers a scalable framework for integrating peace education into Social Studies curricula in other post-conflict regions
The Influence of Identity Politics within Families on First-Time Voters in Aceh
Full text linkThis article explores the transmission of identity politics within families and its impact on the attitudes and political choices of first-time voters in Aceh. The significance of this study is emphasized by the electoral periods in Aceh and Indonesia, which are frequently influenced by strong identity politics. The study addresses two main questions: How does family identity influence the political understanding of first-time voters, and how does the transmission of political identity occur within families? Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research collected data through interviews with first-time voters from UIN Ar-Raniry and Universitas Malikussaleh. Findings reveal that in the context of Aceh, political identity, entrenched within family dynamics through political affiliations, religious values, and personal experiences, significantly shapes the political perspectives of first-time voters. Predominantly, the paternal figure acts as the primary agent of socialization, disseminating political orientations through family discussions and daily interactions, often without allowing for critical evaluation. This research confirms that families not only serve as institutions influencing and transmitting political views to first-time voters in Aceh but also restrict their ability to conduct independent political assessments due to the reinforcement of traditional and religious values in this transmission
In-Country Free Trade Zone in Post–Conflict Aceh: Illegal Cigarette Trade in Sabang, Indonesia
Full text linkThe implementation of the Sabang Free-Trade Zone (FTZ) has implications for the increasing distribution of illegal cigarettes in the mainland areas of Aceh. It exacerbates state financial losses, community health problems, and the workload on customs to conduct control and supervision. This qualitative study aims to explore how the Free-Trade Zone in Sabang was managed as an instrument for political concession in the Aceh conflict and its quota decision mechanism on illegal cigarettes. Using a grounded qualitative research design, we conducted 12 in-depth interviews with key stakeholders. Four important findings are reflected in this study. First, the management of the Sabang-Free Trade Zone is highly influenced by political aspects and a lack of managerial competence. Second, there is a dilemmatic perspective of the conflicting parties regarding the Sabang FTZ. Third, the quota mechanism related to the distribution of imported cigarettes is not regulated and merely relies on importers’ requests. Lastly, the control and supervision system at the Sabang FTZ is weak. These findings are expected to serve as the foundation for policy recommendations and lessons on the illegal cigarette trade in Indonesia and other post-conflict countries, as well as free trade zones in neighbouring countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines
Spirituality and Physical Health as Predictors of Mental Health Among University Students
Full text linkThis study examined the predictive influence of spirituality and physical health on depression, anxiety, and stress among undergraduate students during their first full return to face-to-face learning after the COVID-19 pandemic. Anchored on the Biopsychosocial Model, SPIRE Model, and Health Hexagonal Model, a complex correlational design was employed using multiple linear regression analysis. Data were collected from 1,760 freshmen and sophomore students enrolled in 24 academic programs at a state university in the Philippines. Three validated instruments—the DASS-21, the Spirituality Scale, and the Physical Health Questionnaire—were administered. Findings revealed that spirituality, particularly the dimension of self-discovery, was a significant protective factor against depression, anxiety, and stress. In contrast, physical health concerns such as sleep disturbances, gastrointestinal problems, and respiratory infections were substantial risk factors across all three psychological outcomes. These results affirm the multifaceted nature of mental wellness and highlight the importance of integrating spiritual and physical dimensions in designing context-sensitive mental health interventions for higher education. The study contributes novel insights from the Philippine context to the growing global discourse on student mental health and underscores the value of holistic, culturally grounded approaches in supporting psychological well-being in post-pandemic academic transitions
Integrating Local Wisdom into Entrepreneurship Education for Sustainable Tourism in Pulo Aceh, Indonesia
Full text linkPulo Aceh is rich in natural resources and local wisdom with high potential to become a tourist destination. However, community awareness of this potential is still low, encouraging us to find strategies to raise this awareness and develop entrepreneurial spirit among local students in the tourism industry. A qualitative method with a descriptive analysis approach was employed. The data collection techniques included observations and interviews with school teachers and several local people of Pulo Aceh. The findings revealed that Pulo Aceh’s natural landscape and resources play an essential role in the development of Pulo Aceh’s tourism. For the sustainability purpose, the awareness and skills in tourism businesses should be built from a young age, specifically in the middle school and high school levels. The knowledge and skills can be integrated into a school subject and taught through tourism business-related materials. Seven strategies were also proposed to build students’ entrepreneurial spirit, namely 1) linking lesson material to real life, 2) using technology, 3) applying project-based learning, 4) designing creative activities, 5) social involvement, 6) giving appreciation to students, 7) material flexibility and adequate information about future careers in the tourism industry. Through these strategies, it is expected that these young entrepreneurs are born and improve the region’s econom
The Influence of Conventional Banking and Sharia Banking on Economic Growth in Indonesia
Full text linkThe financial sector is referred to as one of the factors influencing the monetary crisis. This study examined the relationship between the banking development score in the dual banking system model and economic growth in Indonesia. This study used a quantitative method, using the VECM approach and the Granger Causality model. The findings showed that Conventional Banking Credit Growth, Sharia Banking Financing Growth, PMTB, LDR and FDR, and ROA of conventional and Sharia banks had a positive effect on economic growth in Indonesia. The inflation variables, NPF, and NPL had a negative effect on economic growth in Indonesia. This finding provided us with an understanding that the existence of Sharia banking could drive economic growth in Indonesia. In conventional banks, in the long term, there was a long-term relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variables. This study provided new insights into the influence of the banking sector on economic growth in Indonesia, highlighting the importance of synergy between conventional and Islamic banking in creating diverse financial instruments and enhancing access to banking services, especially in areas with limited financial access
Romanticism in Salafi Da\u27wah: A Cultural and Historical Perspective from West Sumatra, Indonesia
Full text linkThis study examines the Salafi doctrine, which emphasizes the importance of returning to the Qur’an and hadith based on the understanding of Salafus Shalih (the pious predecessors). Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the article focuses on Salafi religious practices in West Sumatra, analyzing how Salafis interpret and implement the sunnah in a contemporary context. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed by categorizing the information into subtopics to extract deeper meanings. The findings indicate that the kajian sunnah (study of the sunnah) among Salafis in West Sumatra is characterized by exclusivity, doctrinal rigidity, and a textual approach. Moreover, the study reveals that the doctrine of adhering to the understanding and practices of Salafus Shalih serves as the cornerstone of Salafi da’wah strategies. This doctrine positions the Salafus Shalih generation as the ideal model for understanding and connecting with the essence of the Qur’an and hadith. The study concludes that the romanticization of Salafus Shalih functions as a central da’wah strategy for Salafi groups, facilitating the mobilization of their religious understanding and practices within contemporary society
