Negotiating the Sacred and the Profane: Paradigm Shifts in the Tarekat Shiddiqiyah toward Economic Empowerment in Jombang, Indonesia
Full text linkThis study explores the shift in the spirituality of the Shiddiqiyah Order towards an economic empowerment paradigm in order to address modern Islamic issues. The Order is claimed to be a reflection of the decline of Islam because it only emphasizes spirituality, while neglecting worldly affairs. The order focuses only on religious and mystical rituals. They are passive towards social problems and changes. Therefore, this study reflects the spirituality of the Shiddiqiyah Order, which makes community empowerment a means to achieve perfection before God. This effort is referred to as a shift to negotiate the concept of ijtihad in the order. This is a qualitative study, with primary data taken from interviews with members of the Shiddiqiyah Order and several mursyids. The data was then analyzed using triangulation involving authentic sources. The findings show that the metaphysical shift to the profane realm (community empowerment) is a spiritual step towards achieving peace in worshiping God. This shift is based on three basic concepts of ijtihad, namely qiyas, istihsan, and istislah, which state that the existence of the order is to provide social peace through spirituality. This process is then called the negotiation of the spirituality of the order
Fatwas, Religious Moderation, and Global Security: Examining the Intersection of Islamic Economic Jihad and Humanitarian Responses to the Israel-Palestine Conflict
Full text linkThis research examines the implications of the Indonesian Ulema Council's (MUI) Fatwa No. 83 of 2023, which supports the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation, focusing on its theological foundations, the concept of religious moderation, and the dynamics of economic jihad through the boycott of Israeli products. Utilizing a qualitative approach, this study analyzes the fatwa's position within Islamic jurisprudence and its impact on global humanitarian responses to the Israel-Palestine conflict. The findings indicate that the fatwa serves as a non-violent instrument, promoting peace and human rights while advocating for humanitarian aid to Palestine through zakat, Infāq, and donations. It also highlights the potential effects on Indonesia's foreign policy, urging the government to take a firmer stance in international relations regarding Palestine. Furthermore, the study discusses the effectiveness of the boycott as an economic strategy and its moral implications, emphasizing the importance of addressing the humanitarian concerns of civilians in both Israel and Palestine. Overall, the fatwa reflects a balanced approach to supporting the Palestinian cause while adhering to the principles of moderation and compassion inherent in Islam.Penelitian ini mengkaji implikasi Fatwa Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) No. 83 Tahun 2023 yang mendukung perjuangan Palestina melawan pendudukan Israel dengan fokus pada landasan teologisnya, konsep moderasi beragama, dan dinamika jihad ekonomi melalui boikot produk Israel. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian ini menganalisis posisi fatwa dalam yurisprudensi Islam dan dampaknya terhadap respons kemanusiaan global terhadap konflik Israel-Palestina. Temuannya menunjukkan bahwa fatwa berfungsi sebagai instrumen tanpa kekerasan, mempromosikan perdamaian dan hak asasi manusia sekaligus mengadvokasi bantuan kemanusiaan ke Palestina melalui zakat, infaq, dan donasi. Hal ini juga menyoroti dampak potensial terhadap kebijakan luar negeri Indonesia, yang mendesak pemerintah untuk mengambil sikap lebih tegas dalam hubungan internasional terkait Palestina. Lebih lanjut, penelitian ini membahas efektivitas boikot sebagai strategi ekonomi dan implikasi moralnya, serta menekankan pentingnya mengatasi permasalahan kemanusiaan warga sipil di Israel dan Palestina. Secara keseluruhan, fatwa tersebut mencerminkan pendekatan yang seimbang untuk mendukung perjuangan Palestina dengan tetap berpegang pada prinsip-prinsip moderasi dan kasih sayang yang melekat dalam Islam
The Tension between Cultural Heritage and Individual Freedom: The JiLu Marriage Tradition among the Indigenous Javanese Community in Blembem, Ponorogo
Full text linkThis study investigates the persistence of JiLu, a Javanese customary prohibition against marriage between the first and third-born children of different families, as practised in Blembem Village, Ponorogo. Although JiLu lacks a formal legal or religious foundation, it continues to function as a binding social norm upheld through oral tradition, communal belief systems, and social sanctions. Employing a socio-legal approach, the research integrates qualitative data from in-depth interviews with traditional elders, affected couples, and local stakeholders, alongside a review of relevant literature. Berger and Luckmann’s theory of social construction—comprising the processes of externalization, objectification, and internalization—provides the theoretical framework to analyze how JiLu is maintained and reproduced. The findings reveal that JiLu operates as a symbolic system that regulates social behaviour, particularly in marital decisions, through emotional reinforcement and the fear of spiritual or social consequences. However, the norm’s authority is increasingly questioned by younger generations exposed to formal education, religious reinterpretation, and modern legal rationality. This generational shift highlights a growing tension between the preservation of collective cultural identity and the assertion of personal autonomy. The study demonstrates how customary norms can either adapt or erode when confronted with changing societal values, contributing to broader discussions on the dynamics of tradition, law, and individual rights in contemporary rural Indonesia.Penelitian ini mengulas tradisi larangan pernikahan JiLu di Dusun Tembol, Desa Blembem, Ponorogo, yang dianggap membawa dampak buruk bagi pelanggarnya. Tradisi ini dipertahankan melalui mekanisme konstruksi sosial yang melibatkan tahapan eksternalisasi, objektivasi, dan internalisasi, sebagaimana dijelaskan oleh Berger dan Luckmann. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif berbasis studi kasus, dengan data yang diperoleh dari wawancara mendalam dengan tokoh masyarakat dan pasangan yang terdampak larangan ini, serta melalui kajian literatur terkait. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tradisi JiLu dalam konteks teori hukum kritis Roberto Unger, yang menekankan pentingnya kebebasan individu dan perlunya evaluasi terhadap norma tradisional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun tradisi ini tetap dihormati oleh generasi tua sebagai bagian dari identitas budaya, generasi muda mulai mempertanyakan relevansinya dalam era modern yang menekankan otonomi individu. Tradisi JiLu, meskipun berfungsi menjaga struktur sosial, dinilai membutuhkan penyesuaian agar selaras dengan nilai keadilan dan kebebasan pribadi. Unger menyoroti bahwa tradisi harus bersifat dinamis dan tidak boleh menjadi penghalang dalam pengambilan keputusan individu, terutama dalam memilih pasangan hidup. Pergeseran pandangan ini mencerminkan kebutuhan akan keseimbangan antara pelestarian tradisi dan pengakuan hak-hak individu, sehingga norma seperti JiLu tetap relevan dalam masyarakat yang terus berkembang
Ecological Crisis and Modern Cosmology: A Critique of the Materialist Paradigm and Reconstruction Through Islamic Conception
Full text linkThe purpose of the study is to return to the conception of cosmology as something that is not only a natural material but also has an immaterial nature. This research used qualitative techniques based on the search bibliography. The concept of matter that developed during this period was influenced by the development of science. Initially, classical cosmology viewed the universe as a unity encompassing both physical (material) and non-physical (immaterial) aspects, including things considered sacred, such as God. The development of modern cosmology then separated its scientific approach from this sacred dimension. From there, the beginning happens crisis ecology begins with a paradigm shift. Therefore, shifting paradigms through revolutionary science allegedly contains problems that distance man from nature as well as cause damage to sustainable nature. Therefore, the research will discuss about shift in paradigm cosmology, modern science has resulted in crisis ecology, and will criticize as well as sit back to the problem with paradigm Islam. Researchers give a conclusion that crisis ecology today happens to leave from the crisis awareness man that not all matters must be measured with the material will, but there is more sacred that needs to be understood. Finally shift method view in the creation and natural universe makes the Conception of sacredness naturally lost, and the damage system that occurs today

Childfree also became the talk of the Indonesian people when Gita Savitri, an influencer promoted the childfree campaign in Indonesia. Childfree has two perspectives: some view childfree as something that is allowed, and some reject it.

Ensuring The Best Interests of the Child in Divorce Judgments Through the Lens of Maslaḣah Principles
Full text linkThis research analyzes the concept of the child's best interests in divorce judgments from the perspective of the principle of maslahah, with a focus on Verdict Number 225/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Bkls. The study aims to explore how court decisions consider the welfare of the child in the context of divorce, particularly concerning custody and post-divorce financial arrangements. The analytical approach encompasses legal aspects and judicial considerations related to the principle of maslahah. The identified academic problem is the ambiguity in applying the best interests of the child principle in divorce judgments in Indonesia, which often overlooks the aspect of maslahah. The research findings indicate that although the principle of maslahah is frequently mentioned, its implementation is still limited and requires enhancement in judicial practice. This study provides an in-depth understanding of the implementation of the child's best interests in the context of divorce and recommends improvement measures to effectively protect the rights and interests of children in the future. This research is expected to guide wise decision-making among legal practitioners and judicial institutions in handling divorce cases involving children.This research analyzes the concept of the child's best interests in divorce judgments from the perspective of the principle of maslahah, with a focus on Verdict Number 225/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Bkls.

Abdurrauf Al-Singkili's Concept of Dhikr: Exploring the Sufi Psychotherapy Model
Full text linkThe prevalence of mental health disorders in contemporary society underscores the need for effective psychotherapeutic approaches. While modern psychotherapy has made significant strides, the potential of Sufistic approaches, particularly in Islamic contexts, remains largely unexplored. This study examines the dhikr (remembrance of God) concept of Abdurrauf al-Singkili, a prominent 17th-century Indonesian Sufi, as a psychotherapeutic model. Through extensive library research, utilizing documentary techniques to analyze Abdurrauf's works and related scholarly materials, this study employs content analysis to elucidate his unique approach to dhikr. The findings reveal that Abdurrauf's dhikr concept offers a comprehensive Sufistic approach to psychotherapy, potentially serving as an alternative or complementary model in addressing current mental health challenges. Abdurrauf's conceptualization of dhikr as a means for spiritual fortification and psychological tranquility demonstrates remarkable parallels with contemporary meditation and relaxation therapy techniques. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on integrative psychotherapy, highlighting the relevance of traditional Sufistic practices in modern mental health interventions
Islamic Philanthropy and Humanitarianism: Hybridity and Institutional Dynamics of PKPU in the Landscape of Islamic Humanitarianism
Full text linkThis research aims to examine the phenomenon of transformation and hybridity practices in Islamic philanthropic institutions in Indonesia by carrying out research at the Pos Keadilan Peduli Umat (PKPU) from 2001 to 2023. This research employs a qualitative method, utilizing in-depth interview methods, observation, and institutional document analysis. The theoretical approach employed is the hybridity of Homi K. Bhabha, which is moderately helpful in explaining how Islamic philanthropic institutions have a role between two poles of values, namely normative Islamic values and global humanitarian values. This theoretical research also uses Marie Juul Petersen's institutional criticism model to comprehend institutional integration, differentiation, and dynamics. The results of this research indicate that PKPU fundamentally changed its institution into the Human Initiative (HI) to take advantage of the global humanitarian market, expand humanitarian work, and manage institutions in the style of Western management by renegotiating its institutional identity while remaining spiritual but professional, Islamic but universal and able to connect to the global community. The PKPU also established two institutions, the Indonesian Zakat Initiative (IZI) and the Waqf Initiative (IWakaf), to focus on developing the potential of zakat and waqf for Muslims in Indonesia. The changes in PKPU show a dynamic, synergistic, and adaptive institutional development model to extend the market and innovation that continues to grow in humanitarian and development contributions
Ibn Taymiyya's Sufism Education Model in Strengthening the Religious Moderation of Indonesian Society
Full text linkRadical ideology is a big problem for the Indonesian people in maintaining integrity and unity. The concept of religious moderation is a strength in maintaining the diversity and integrity of this nation. The science of Sufism is an alternative to developing moderate character with a humanist model of Sufism through Ibn Taymiyya's thoughts. This research aims to find Ibn Taymiyya's model of Sufism education to strengthen religious moderation in society. The research method used was a character biographical study, namely conducting a study of thoughts, life stories, and works produced. Data analysis used induction and interpretation techniques supported by relevant library sources so that the data presentation was more focused and valid. The study results concluded that Ibn Taymiyya's Sufism education model upholds the concepts of tawazun, tasamuh, ta'dil, tawasuth, which can encourage the formation of attitudes and moderate character. The moderate character positively impacts the maturation of social attitudes, which are beneficial for forming a complete, tolerant, and tolerant life. This attitude becomes a reinforcement in maintaining state sovereignty and togetherness between individuals. Ibn Taymiyya's model of Sufism education in practice and concept can form a moderate attitude so that religious understanding can be understood wisely, far from blind fanaticism and exclusive attitudes that can form gaps between individuals. The limitations of this research only extend to the analysis of Ibn Taymiyya's Sufism education model, which is relevant to the concept of religious moderation. The development direction for further research can be focused on Ibn Taymiyah's multicultural-based model of Sufism education in response to the era of artificial intelligence (AI).Radical ideology is a big problem for the Indonesian people in maintaining integrity and unity.
