SHARING SPACES BETWEEN MAJORITIES AND MINORITIES: Negotiations of Muslim Communities in North Sumatra in Shaping a New Multiculturalism from a Social Philosophy Perspective
Full text linkMulticulturalism often positions the majority group as the central axis in establishing the rules of sociality. This article examines how urban social spaces in North Sumatra serve as dynamic platforms for interactions among diverse ethnic, religious, and cultural groups, with the Muslim community as the dominant majority. Using a phenomenological approach, the study explores how social realities are constructed through intergroup interactions. Field data, analyzed hermeneutically within a qualitative philosophical framework, reveal that these social spaces function both as arenas of conflict and as catalysts for integration. The findings highlight the dual roles of social spaces in fostering cooperation and preserving diverse identities, conceptualized through the metaphors of a “symphony" and a “mosaic.” The “symphony” illustrates harmonious collaboration among groups, while the “mosaic” reflects the coexistence of distinct identities. These dynamics contribute to a distinctive model of multiculturalism in Indonesia, where conflict is integrated as part of the social fabric, fostering deeper social cohesion. This research provides valuable insights for global discourses on diversity management and conflict resolution, particularly in multicultural urban societies
ISLAM AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: Perspectives from Traditionalist and Modernist Muslim Communities in Indonesia
Full text linkThis study explores how traditionalist and modernist Muslim communities in Indonesia respond to the ethical, religious, and social implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Using a qualitative analysis of fatwas, religious texts, and scholarly discourse, the research identifies distinct approaches: traditionalists prioritize doctrinal continuity and exhibit caution, while modernists adopt more adaptive interpretations that seek to align AI with Islamic ethical principles. Despite methodological differences, both groups express shared concerns regarding AI’s influence on human agency, moral responsibility, and religious authority, while also recognizing its potential benefits when guided by Islamic values. The findings reveal that theological orientation alone does not shape responses to AI; socio-cultural factors also significantly influence how religious communities interpret emerging technologies. This study offers a nuanced perspective on how Indonesian Muslims navigate the intersection of faith, ethics, and technological advancement, contributing to broader discussions on Islamic thought and digital transformation in contemporary society

EXTREMISM IN PRE-ISLAMIC ARAB SOCIETY: A Perspective on Moderate Values and Tolerance
Full text linkAbstract: This study is inspired by the social norms of pre-Islamic Arab society, which often sparked issues related to gender equality and tolerance. These norms were marked by acts of inhumane violence that stood in stark contrast to the teachings of Islam. Unfortunately, similar problems still exist in modern society. This article aims to examine the extremism found in the inhumane social rules of pre-Islamic Arab society through the lens of Islamic values of moderation and tolerance, while also reflecting on parallels in today’s world. Using a case study approach and a comparative analysis, the research explores the social conditions of pre-Islamic Arab society alongside current social realities. The study uncovers four key findings. First, the oppression of women through practices like slavery and female infanticide represents acts of severe extremism. Second, the culture of constant warfare, fueled by disputes and tribal fanaticism, was a hallmark of the time. Third, the unfair practices surrounding marriage and divorce caused significant harm to women. Finally, the study highlights striking similarities between the pre-Islamic era and contemporary society, where a lack of commitment to the Islamic principles of moderation and tolerance continues to contribute to social challenges.Keywords: Extremism, social rules, pre-Islamic Arabia, moderate value, and toleranc
HIJRAH AND RECTIFICATION OF MUSLIM IDENTITY: The Case of Campus Da’wah Activists in Pontianak City
Full text linkFrom its inception, hijrah in Islamic tradition referred to the Prophet Muhammad’s geographical migration from a perilous environment to a place of peace. Over time, however, hijrah has evolved to encompass broader notions of transformation, including shifts in lifestyle, adoption of Islamic attire, and changes in social relationships. These developments illustrate that hijrah is a fluid and multifaceted concept. It explores how these activists experience and manage hijrah in terms of acceptance and supervision. Key questions addressed include: How do campus da’wah activists construct and sustain their identity through hijrah in the context of modernity? What role does the state play in shaping religious life? The article argues that hijrah represents not only a journey of self-improvement but also a subtle form of resistance to state influence in regulating religious practices, particularly as communities navigate the negative aspects of modernity. The interplay between hijrah, the state, and modernity is characterized by selective engagement, prioritizing lifestyle changes over ideological shifts. Using Peter L. Berger’s social construction framework—encompassing externalization, objectification, and internalization—the article concludes that the spirit of hijrah within this framework significantly shapes perspectives on the state’s role in religious affairs.Keywords: Hijrah; identity, state role, Islamic thought, modernity

THE MEMES OF HADITH ON DOWRY IN SOCIAL MEDIA: Paul Ricoeur’s Hermeneutical Perspective
Full text linkAbstract: This study examines how people understand and convey the message of a hadith about dowries through memes, using images and illustrations. By analyzing these memes hermeneutically, particularly those shared on social media, the research explores the interplay of image, caption, underlying ideas, and how the hadith is interpreted. Conducted as library research, it employs descriptive analysis methods and a hermeneutic approach, focusing on a meme about marriage dowries sourced from a Facebook fan page. Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutics framework guides the analysis. The findings reveal that hadith memes reflect the social construction of society based on real-life experiences. These constructions promote the idea of a “salehah” (pious) woman as someone who requests a modest dowry. The interpretation of the meme’s content serves as a symbol for readers, conveying the hadith’s message in informative, declarative, interjective, and affirmative ways. Furthermore, the study highlights that women who do not conform to or uphold the hadith’s teachings may face a negative social image.Keywords: Memes, Hadiths, Dowry, Hermeneutics, Labelin
MAPPING INTELLECTUAL TRENDS IN FIQH: The Written Legacy of Southern Tapanuli Scholars in the 20th Century
Full text linkAbstract: In 20th-century Southern Tapanuli, Islamic discourse prominently centered on fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), reflecting historical circumstances and local challenges. Limited access to classical Middle Eastern texts prompted scholars to produce accessible, practical fiqh literature tailored to the community’s needs. This study analyzes their contributions by examining fiqh texts to identify thematic patterns and focus areas. The findings reveal that while fiqh education gained public prominence, the written works concentrated on foundational topics like purification (taharah), worship (ibadah), and almsgiving (zakat). These efforts highlight the pragmatic approach of Tabagsel scholars, ensuring that Islamic jurisprudence remained contextually relevant and responsive to societal needs.Keywords: Southern Tapanuli Scholars, Writing Tradition, FiqhStudies, Mandailin

PRESUPPOSITIONS AND LEVELS OF UNDERSTANDING IN SCIENTIFIC EXEGESIS: Insights from Indonesian Quranic Scholars
Full text linkThis study explores the presuppositions underlying scientific exegesis as discussed by Indonesian Quranic scholars. Focusing on horizontal gradations of understanding, it examines their role in shaping the necessity for scientific interpretation. Since the 1960s, Indonesia has witnessed significant growth in scientific exegesis, leading to the emergence of three distinct generations of exegetical thought. These developments are rooted in foundational presuppositions (mabna), which drive the evolution of interpretive approaches. Using a literature review method, the research analyzes documents and applies content analysis to identify key insights. The study concludes that the horizontal gradation of understanding, reflecting the Qur’an’s comprehensiveness and its numerous scientific verses, serves as the foundational presupposition for Indonesian scientific exegetes in employing scientific methodologies for Quranic interpretation. This approach underscores the dynamic interplay between scientific perspectives and Quranic understanding within the Indonesian context.
