Hermeneutika Modern: Sebuah Pengenalan Awal (II)
No full textThe development of knowledge represents the dialectic of social dynamics and knowledge itself, even theology. From there arises various knowledge that later crystallizes into science. One of them is hermeneutics. It is a science that can be simply interpreted as the science of interpretation. This science initially served as a prerequisite for unraveling religious texts that were considered final and sacred. That is why hermeneutics as a science is closely related to the world of theology, specifically the sub-discipline of theology that deals with the methodology and authentication in interpreting the Scriptures in the Christian and Jewish traditions. This paper describes modern hermeneutics from the perspective of understanding, history, and its divisions into methodological, philosophical, and critical hermeneutics
Potret Perkotaan dalam Menghadapi Globalisasi
No full textThe globalization sweeping the world today has influenced the lives of communities in general. The rapid flow of information and the increasing availability of various facilities also contribute to the acceleration of this process. Events in one part of the world are now more easily observed and imitated by people in other parts. Naturally, this phenomenon will impact the lifestyle of communities, ultimately leading to global changes. The link between globalization and urban development can be seen as a reflection of progress at a higher level. Are our communities ready to face global competition, or are we still preoccupied with internal urban issues that are increasingly prevalent today? It is concerning that while other nations are busy preparing for global competition, we seem to be stagnating. What steps should the government take to address this issue? This is an important issue that needs to be discussed, although it may seem cliché and like an old song with no end in sight
Konstruksi Tatanan Dasar Politik dalam Islam
No full textIn societal and governmental life, from ancient times to the present, there has been a need for a set of regulations, whether derived directly from religious teachings or through contemporary decisions based on current needs, whether these regulations have been codified in writing or not, whether they are fundamental (constitutional laws) or developments. With these regulations in place, societal and governmental life becomes orderly and organized. Conversely, without a set of regulations, societal life would undoubtedly become chaotic, disorderly, and would inevitably lead to a law of the jungle. In this context, the author attempts to propose some basic principles for the purpose of governing societal and state life from the perspective of Islamic political thought, including the principles of consultation, equality, freedom, upholding justice, and so forth. These principles are indeed universal values, wherein civilized nations in societal and governmental life also apply these principles, albeit with different interpretations and implementations
Konsolidasi Militan Islam dan Reproduksi Makna Jihad
No full textThe Islamization that has swept the Islamic world in recent decades has successfully consolidated Islamic movements and reproduced the meaning of jihad, activating it as a controversial ideological instrument. This phenomenon inevitably often leads to misunderstandings, both among Muslims themselves and among non-Muslims in the West and the East. For some Western scholars, jihad, an Islamic teaching, is synonymous with religious war (holy war). Therefore, Islam is labeled as a brutal religion, applying militaristic patterns and declaring war not only permissible but also sacred. Islam—because of the doctrine of jihad—is also seen as promoting the use of violence to proselytize non-Muslims into Islam. Such misunderstandings have had fatal consequences and have unjustly portrayed Islam as a religion of violence and terrorism, as well as a threat to Western civilization. This portrayal has then perpetuated long-standing suspicions against the Muslim community
Transformasi Peran Ulama dalam Pergerakan Politik
No full textUlama or kiai is often understood as a religious authority. However, in its development, ulama is not only seen as a guide in practicing religious teachings but also in all aspects of life, so that all behaviors and actions of ulama will be imitated without reserve. Even their followers (jamaah) tend to justify or protect them when the ulama face challenges from other parties. The role of ulama known so far only as preachers, lecturers, caretakers of Islamic boarding schools, and religious leaders, turns out to be not like that, because history proves that ulama also play a role in practical politics. This article attempts to revisit the role played by ulama in the political arena, both during the Dutch Colonial, Japanese, and Independence periods, especially during the New Order era, where the role of ulama underwent changes. Ulama were returned to their purely religious role
Bahasa Arab sebagai Akar Bias Gender dalam Wacana Islam
No full textThe influence of the Arabic language on non-Arab Muslim communities also implies an influence on the way Muslims worldwide think and behave. This can be seen in the tendency of Muslim communities to associate everything Islamic (in accordance with Islam) with Arab culture. Being a comprehensive Muslim (kaffah) is often expressed by adopting Arab attributes such as wearing traditional clothing, turbans, beards, robes, veils, having Arabic names, listening to desert music, and so on. The Arabic language, which has become the language of the Muslim community, carries gender biases that affect the textualization process of Allah’s words in the form of the Qur’an. This bias is reflected in Arabic grammar, where every noun (isim) in Arabic is assigned a gender (mudzakkar or mu’annats), both literally and metaphorically. Therefore, in-depth studies on the language of the Qur’an from a gender perspective are necessary
The Role of Chinese Communities to the Spread of Islam in Indonesia
No full textThe role of Chinese people in the development of Islam in Indonesia in the past was significant, as evidenced by historical evidence such as mosques and Muslim Chinese graves. The spread of Islam in Indonesia was not only carried out by Arabs and Persians, but also by Chinese people, both those who came with traders from the Middle East and separately. Since Islam entered the Malay Archipelago, especially Indonesia, through traders, it is understandable that Islamic kingdoms first emerged in coastal areas rather than inland or mountainous areas, which generally adhered to Hinduism, Buddhism, or local religions and beliefs. Their main purpose for coming to Indonesia was not to spread Islam but to establish relationships and trade. However, because they were Muslims, their attitudes and actions could influence the local population wherever they were, and intermarriages between them and the local population could lead the locals to convert to Islam
Penyelesaian Hadis Mukhtalif tentang Sumber Ajaran Islam
No full textIn the perspective of Ulum al-Hadith, conflicting hadiths must be resolved, either by compromising or by giving preference to find the stronger one in quality. It is assumed that the Prophet Muhammad, as the role model for the Muslim community, would not make statements that contradict each other without explanation. Such a situation could confuse Muslims who are trying to understand and follow his teachings. Therefore, research on these Conflicting Hadiths needs to be conducted, especially concerning the primary sources of Islamic teachings that serve as benchmarks for legal provisions in Islam. If so, the issue worth investigating is: How to resolve Conflicting Hadiths to reach an integrative solution
Al-Muḥarrar Al-Wajīz fī Tafsīr Al-Kitāb Al-‘Azīz Karya Ibnu ‘Aṭiyah
No full textThe works of classical Muslim commentators have to some extent provided us with information about the extensive development of knowledge during that era. Hence, their significant works also serve as studies for the present time and yield further works in modern times. Among the exegesis books from the classical era is the book al-Muḥarrar al-Wajīz fī Tafsīr al-Kitāb al-‘Azīz by Ibn ‘Aṭiyah. The emergence of this interpretation occurred during the zenith of Islam, and its author hailed from the Western world, Spain. The issue at hand in this discussion is the approach to interpreting the book of interpretation al-Muḥarrar al-Wajīz fī Tafsīr al-Kitāb al-‘Azīz, and through this study, the profile and characteristics of this book are expected to be delineated, thus revealing its differences and uniqueness compared to other exegesis books
Metodologi Penelitian Keagamaan: Dekonstruksi Hermeneutik I
No full textThe main issue of this writing is the methodology for religious research, meaning this study is a methodological research. Methodological studies fall within the realm of the philosophy of science. In the context of scientific research, there are several key terms that are interrelated and have similarities, namely methodology, method, and theory. Therefore, in the context of this research, it is necessary to first explain the differences in meaning and the relationship between methodology, method, and theory
