Contesting Sufis Quietism: The Role of Sufism in the Islamization in West Africa
Full text linkSufism has been a key vehicle for expressing Islam. In the 18th century, its growth in West Africa led to a surge in Islamic conversions and the emergence of influential Muslim intellectuals, educators, and political leaders. Salafis, inspired by the writings of scholars who championed jihad and Islamic reforms, are often viewed as the sole jihadist group in the region. This study uses qualitative techniques and a historical lens to examine the significance of Sufism in West Africa, challenging the notion of Sufi passivity. It highlights key factors driving Islam’s expansion, paradigm shifts, and societal Islamization, while analyzing the Sufi Brotherhood’s methods of spreading Islam and shaping society. The research disputes the idea that Sufis are solely peaceful, non-political, or disengaged from activism. It focuses on how Sufis in West Africa not only spread Islam but also established states, governed people, and promoted Islam through conquest jihad. Contrary to popular belief, Sufism is not limited to political silence or spiritual withdrawal; it evolved through the Zawiya, who, despite persecution, played an active role in shaping society.

Sementara dari temuan mengenai aspek maqÄá¹£id al-syarÄ«’ah maupun nilai fundamental al-Qur’an, penulis menemukan aspek yang menonjol yaitu hifdzu nafs, sebab pada ayat ini dijelaskan bahwa kedua perempuan tersebut menjaga dirinya agar tidak berdesakan dengan penggembala lain dengan cara menunggu para penggembala selesai di sumber air tersebut, terdapat nilai kesetaraan juga yang menonjol karena menujukkan kedudukan yang setara antara laki-laki dan perempuan dalam hal bekerja. Jika di kontekstualisasikan di zaman sekarang, perempuan diperbolehkan saja bekerja untuk mengisi waktu luang dan mengembangkan keahliannya. Hikmah yang dapat dipetik adalah perempuan dapat memanfaatkan waktunya dengan melakukan pekerjaan yang bermanfaat, serta bekerja untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya asal memperhatikan syarat-syarat ketika bekerja

Tafsir Ilmi Versus Tafsir Ilmi: Ants in Scientific Interpretation Discourses
Full text linkThis article is based on the Ayat-Ayat Semes ta dan Nalar Ayat-ayat Semesta written by Agus Purwanto and Tafsir 'Ilmi: Animals in the Perspective of the Qur'an and Science published by Lembaga Pentashih Mushaf al-Qur'an (LPMQ) of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Indonesia in collaboration with the Indonesian Institute of Sciences with a focus on the interpretation of the word "Ant" or al-namlah in QS. al-Naml [27]: 18. Preliminary findings show that the interpretations of Puwanto and LPMQ tend to be different even though they are both based on scientific reasons. There are three questions asked in explaining this. First, what is the construction of Agus Purwanto and LPMQ's interpretation of "Ants" in the Qur'an. Second, why do the two differ in interpretation regarding the theme? Third, what are the implications of these different interpretations on the discourse of ilmi interpretation. This article uses content analysis to show Purwanto's interpretive construction of the diction "QÄ lat namlah" in QS. al-Naml [27]:18 means "queen of ants," while LPMQ means "al-namlah" with "an ant," so it has a different meaning. This difference lies in the emphasis of both; Purwanto emphasizes more linguistic aspects as a support for scientific findings to interpret "al-namlah" with the queen ant, which also emphasizes that this queen is the leader in the colony. At the same time, LPMQ uses an interpretive logic that does not emphasize "who rules the ants" These two models of interpretation must be positioned as part of an evolving dynamic of interpretation; Moreover, it is recognized that the same discourse also appeared in explanation in the past although it was more on theological and linguistic aspects
