The Concept of Love in Islam, Christianity, and Judaism for the Postmodern Indonesian Religious Communities
Full text linkThe pattern of thinking relativism and pluralism in the postmodern era has always been a problem in religious life. The problem is due to the openness of relations between religions. This thinking style will be good if it accommodates a sense of brotherhood and mutual understanding between religious communities. On the other hand, it will be harmful if it is used to bring down other religions. This study aims to build a constructive model of comparative theology in a pluralistic society in Indonesia. The research method used in this paper is comparative theology by comparing the concept of Habluminallah-Habluminannas, with a similar idea in Christianity, which is also rooted in Judaism. The results showed that the idea of Habluminallah-Habluminannas is a unifying difference from the three Abrahamic religious concepts without eliminating the religiosity of each religion. This study concludes that Habluminallah-Habluminannas is the shade of the three Samawi religions to strengthen harmony and brotherhood.

Sekolah Kebhinnekaan: Potret Kebijakan Internal SMA Negeri di Mataram
Full text linkArtikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kebijakan internal sekolah yang menunjukkan inklusivitas karakter toleran pada peserta didik yang majemuk. Fokus penelitian pada kebijakan inklusif dalam arti keadilan, kesetaraan, dan sikap positif terhadap kemajemukan agama. Sekolah berperan untuk memenuhi hak peserta didik dalam keberagamaan. Menjadi masalah, jika lembaga sekolah diskriminatif atau tidak memfasilitasi pendidikan kerohanian pesesrta didiknya. Studi kasus penelitian adalah SMAN 1 Mataram dan SMAN 5 Mataram. Penelitian ini adalah field research dengan teknik penggalian data observasi kegiatan peserta didik yang mencakup: organisasi, kerohanian, aturan hari libur agama, ketersediaan tempat ibadah; dan wawancara mendalam kepada peserta didik, guru, dan pelaku kebijakan sekolah. Hasilnya, kedua sekolah tersebut menerapkan institusionalisasi ide menjadi kebijakan. Di antara kebijakan tersebut: melaksanakan kegiatan imtaq (iman dan taqwa) sesuai agama peserta didik; memberikan izin pembentukan organisasi rohani; fasilitas tempat maupun alat ibadah multi-agama; memfasilitasi guru rohani di setiap agama yang dipeluk oleh peserta didik; dan kebijakan libur fakultatif. Pemahaman masyarakat di wilayah sekolah tentang keberagaman suku, bahasa, dan agama yang praksis (tidak teoritis) menjadikan modal penting dalam kelangsungan toleransi di sana. Meskipun kedua sekolah tersebut tidak mewakili kebhinnekaan dalam hal suku dan etnis, setidaknya agama peserta didik yang berbeda-beda mewakili cerminan dari Indonesia yang beragam.

This article aims to analyze the school\u27s internal policies that show the inclusiveness of the tolerant character of diverse learners. The research focuses on inclusive policies in terms of justice, equality, and positive attitudes towards religious pluralism. Schools play a role in fulfilling the rights of students in religion. It becomes a problem if school institutions are discriminatory or do not facilitate the spiritual education of their students. The research case studies are SMAN 1 Mataram and SMAN 5 Mataram. This research is field research with data mining techniques for observing student activities which include: organization, spirituality, rules for religious holidays, availability of places of worship; and in-depth interviews with students, teachers, and school policy actors. As a result, both schools implemented the institutionalization of ideas into policies. Among these policies: carry out imtaq (faith and taqwa) activities according to the religion of the students; granting permission to form a spiritual organization; facilities for places and tools of multi-religious worship; facilitate spiritual teachers in each religion embraced by students; and facultative holiday policies. The understanding of the community in the school area about the practical (non-theoretical) ethnic, linguistic and religious diversity is an important asset in sustaining tolerance there. Although the two schools do not represent diversity in terms of ethnicity and ethnicity, at least the different religions of the students represent a reflection of the diversity of Indonesia.

This study responds to the findings of the BNPT which states that there are pesantrens that are suspected to be affiliated with terrorism and radicalism. This study focuses on pesantrens of As\u27adiyah, Darul Da\u27wah wal Irsyad (DDI) and Nahdlatul Ulum, especially in terms of their religious networks and models as the basis for religious moderation. The question of this study is how are the networks and religious models of As\u27adiyah, DDI and Nahdlatul Ulum, and the relationship between the three in religious moderation? This study is both library and field research. The literature review is directed to explore the historical side of the three pesantren related to their networks and religious models, while field studies are directed to reveal the persistence of their networks and religious models. From this, this study concludes that the network of the three pesantren was influenced by the intellectual traditions of Mecca and Java. Even though all three have different religious models, all three show religious moderation. This can be seen from the beginning of its establishment which was supported by local government, its vision-mission to improve the morals and intellectuals of the people (umat), kitab materials taught, to the views of each alumni. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to pay attention to as well as strengthen the pesantren network that has a moderate religious model, especially in order to avoid the entry of radicalism and terrorism into Islamic boarding schools.

Countering Social Stigma as the Basis of Interfaith Movement: A Case Study of Cadar Garis Lucu
Full text linkOne of the weaknesses of interfaith dialogue in Indonesia is the lack of participation and space for women\u27s voices. Almost all spaces for interfaith dialogue are dominated by men, even though women have an important role in interfaith dialogue. Therefore, we should involve more women than men, not only because women are the most affected when religious conflicts occur but previous studies have also shown that women are most effective in peacebuilding negotiation based on non-violent strategies. This study investigates an interfaith movement, Cadar Garis Lucu, which veiled/niqab women initiated to counter the stigma that veiled/niqab women are radical-extremist and anti-other religions. Besides being active in promoting peace and interfaith dialogue, Cadar Garis Lucu also promotes the discourse of gender equality. By employing qualitative research and in-depth interview method as the primary data collection technique, this study found that Cadar Garis Lucu is an interfaith movement that aims to counter society\u27s negative stigma towards women - both veiled/niqab women and women in general - and seeks to bring women to participate in interfaith dialogue. Furthermore, this study argues that there is no better way to peacebuilding than to give space for women in interfaith dialogue
Celebrification and Branding New Female Religious Authority in Indonesia
Full text linkIndonesian religious authority in the Post-Soeharto era has dramatically shifted from organization to individual. Previously, the two largest organizations Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah, dominated religious authority. However, recently, the religious activities of the Indonesian Muslims have been influenced by celebrities who experienced a religious transformation (hijrah). These celebrities, who become more obedient and pious in daily life, are called ‘Hijrah actors\u27 as the same concept as ‘born-again Muslims.\u27 They have emerged as motivators, inspirators, and preachers who advise being more obedient to Indonesian Muslims. As a result, Indonesian Muslims have many choices to decide the religious authority to follow. This condition has caused the new actors of religious authority to use different strategies to gain the trust and support of Indonesian Muslims. This article is a case study that focuses on Peggy Melati Sukma. She was a former Indonesian celebrity who became a female preacher and da\u27wa actor (propagation of Islamic teaching). This article examines how Peggy built her religious authority. Data and information are gathered from social media, participating in Peggy\u27s da\u27wa activities, and analyzing her several autobiographies. This article finds that Peggy builds her female religious authority in Indonesia through five strategies: storytelling, promoting the Islamic lifestyle, sponsoring Islamic charity, use social media, and organizing religious community.

This paper aims to determine the implications of the principle of Islamic personality in providing opportunities for non-Muslims to proceed in the Religious Courts in the event of a dispute between Muslims and non-Muslims. The approach used in analyzing this problem is using the historical-juridical approach. The historical approach explains the background of the establishment of the Religious Courts, while the juridical approach is used to examine the articles governing the absolute authority of the Religious Courts, the principles of Islamic personality, both in the Law on Religious Courts with all their amendments, KHI, Supreme Court Regulations, and Jurisprudence. The results obtained from this study are historical, the Religious Courts existed long before the Law on Religious Courts was formed because of the role of Islamic kingdoms before the Dutch colonized. While juridically, the Islamic Personality Principle in the Religious Courts environment provides opportunities for non-Muslims to hold proceedings in the Religious Courts regarding divorce, inheritance, and sharia economic disputes.

Fragmentasi ke Konvergensi: Asatiz Selebriti dalam Bingkai Gerakan Dakwah Barisan Bangun Negeri
Full text linkLebih dari satu dekade terakhir, Islam Indonesia telah menyaksikan menjamurnya gerakan dakwah melalui media sosial. Sebagian besar gerakan dakwah tersebut didirikan oleh \u27Ustaz Selebriti\u27, sebuah istilah yang merujuk pada ustaz yang populer di media baru. Belakangan ini, beberapa di antara mereka menunjukkan kecenderungannya pada Aksi Bela Islam (ABI) yang identik dengan identitas politik. Hal itu mencoreng citra Islam di mata publik sekaligus membuat otoritas keagamaan menjadi terfragmentasi. Peristiwa ini mendorong para ustaz selebritis, yang memiliki jumlah jemaah yang besar, mendirikan gerakan dakwah dengan nama "Barisan Bangun Negeri" yang berfokus pada isu-isu sosial, lingkungan dan kemanusiaan serta dirancang untuk memulihkan citra Islam. BBN menjadi bentuk konvergensi atau pemusatan umat sebagai respon atas terpecahnya umat Islam sebelumnya. Urgensi yang dibawa dalam gerakan dakwah ini tentu saja identitas, tepatnya identitas keislaman. Ada kebutuhan bagi para ustaz selebriti untuk membela identitas Islam mereka. Tulisan ini berusaha mengkaji sejauh apa gerakan dakwah BBN berhasil menyatukan umat muslim. Melalui metode netnografi dan wawancara, kami berpendapat bahwa BBN berusaha menampilkan citra Islam sebagai ‘Islam Rahmatan lil Alamin\u27 melalui implementasi  ide-ide syariah. Selain itu, BBN juga mengajak para pengikut ustaz selebritas dalam gerakan dakwah mereka untuk menyukseskan program-program tersebut.

The Acculturation Dynamics of the Sekaten Tradition in Modern Indonesia

Using a qualitative approach and historical and ethnographic methods, data were collected through in-depth observations during the sekaten celebration at the Yogyakarta Palace.
