Takwil Tradition in Malay Literary Works: Islamic Spiritual Insights in Danarto’s Nostalgia
No full textThis article addresses the notion of the practice of allegory accomplished by Danarto, one of Indonesian writers whose literary works express much Islamic spirituality through non-Islamic characters. Like Malay Sufi writers, allegorically Danarto uses Hindu Javanese characters in his short story, Nostalgia, to express his spiritual notion. Such practice of using symbolic expression has been well known among Koran interpreters (Mufasir) and Sufi masters (Saalik) as Takwil. In this regard, Danarto expresses his spiritual account through symbolic figures used in Hindu-Javanese tradition of the Mahabharata, such as Arjuna, Kresna, Bisma, Abimanyu, and Sembadra. Different from Malay Muslim writers who used Malay Islam spiritual terms and analogies, Danarto uses those Hindu symbolic figures to express his spiritual journey rooted in Javanese culture where syncretism of various values, especially Islam, is obvious over time. His literary endeavor is part of that long tradition of Takwil practices in Malay religious works, which are substantially identified as Islamic pantheism
Maqāmāt dan Aḥwāl dalam Tasawuf
No full textThis writing presents the concepts of “maqāmāt” and “aḥwāl” in Sufism. “Maqāmāt” refers to the creative spiritual path undertaken by Sufis to approach and encounter God. It (maqāmāt) must be strived for (makāsib) with the entirety of one’s soul and body. True to its name, it is fixed and permanent. On the other hand, “aḥwāl” are the mental and spiritual states experienced by Sufis as a result of “maqāmāt.” It is considered a divine gift (mawāhib), cannot be attained through effort, and is subject to change. However, in the view of some Sufi groups, both are considered gifts
Indonesia Menuju Parlemen Bikameral
No full textThis article elaborates on the bicameral parliamentary system in Indonesia, which is a new step, considering that until now the Indonesian Parliament adhered to a Unicameral (single-chamber) system, namely the DPR (People’s Consultative Assembly). Whereas now (as a result of the 2004 Elections), it has produced members of the People’s Representative Council (DPR) and the Regional Representative Council (DPD) which will later become two chambers
Perilaku Politik Jawara Banten: Cermin Buram Civil Society
No full textFor a long time, Indonesia has been an interesting locus of study regarding the relationship between tradition and modernity. By taking the case study of the Banten champions, this paper reveals the dominance of the Banten champions (rooted in local tradition) over modern devices such as bureaucracy, mass organizations, political parties, and business-oriented institutions. As a sociopolitical study, this research examines the role of champions in attempting to obtain and maintain their dominance in the Banten region. They spread the slogan "Defend Yourself, Defend the Nation, Defend the State" to the community. This slogan is nothing but a reflection of the knowledge, beliefs, and value systems they adhere to, which serve as a reference for their behavior in society, which is actually counterproductive to the establishment of civil society
Ajaran Martabat Tujuh di dalam Kepustakaan Jawa
No full textThis text discusses the teachings of the Seven Degrees within Javanese literature. The study is based on two sources, namely the Javanese version of Tuhfah written around 1680, and Serat Centini written in the early 19th century. The Seven Degrees doctrine in Javanese literature is presented in the form of poems containing terms related to the seven degrees, such as Ahadiyah, Wahdah, Wahidyah, la ta’yun, and the essence of Muhammadiyah. However, the terms used in Serat Centini have undergone slight changes, both in the spelling of certain letters and specific words. This is associated with the passage of time, allowing for the influence of Javanese culture

Teologi Pembebasan Masyarakat Sekuler: Refleksi Pemikiran Harvey Cox
No full textThis article examines the background of the emergence of liberation theology within secular society. The rapid advancement of Western civilization, particularly its profound impact on value systems and religion, has become a topic of discussion in Christian theology, as Christianity is the religion most closely associated with the development of modern Western society. Conservative theologians view such phenomena as inherently negative and continue to uphold orthodoxy. Meanwhile, some taking a liberal approach see it as a positive reality. The process of secularization is not viewed as inherently antagonistic to the existence of religion, but rather as a sign of progress in human consciousness that is fundamentally rooted in the Bible. Figures such as Friedrich Gogarten, Rudolf Bultmann, John A.T. Robinson, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, including Harvey Cox, belong to the latter group. Among these figures, Harvey Cox is the most outspoken proponent of secularization theology, particularly in his monumental work: “The Secular City: Secularization and Urbanization in Theological Perspective” (1965)

Tafsir Fiqhiy: Potret Pemikiran Al-Jashshāsh dalam “Aḥkām Al-Qur’ān”
No full textThe “Aḥkām al-Qur’ān” by al-Jashshāsh is highly regarded by scholars of Islamic jurisprudence, including subsequent commentators, both supportive and critical of it. “Aḥkām al-Qur’ān,” this is the title chosen by al-Jashshāsh for his work without the mention of the word “tafsir” like other exegesis books. Only 81 surahs are discussed, with the writing system following the order of the mushaf. The method of interpretation is predominantly bi al-ma’tsūr. Al-Jashshāsh seeks to incorporate the principles of his school of thought into the verses under discussion, expanding his interpretation beyond the main topic of the verse and appearing as a Hanafi legal book
