Umat dalam Kontes Perumusan Identitas Muslim Filipina
No full textThis theme is discerningly discussed by George C. Decasa, in this book derived from his doctoral dissertation, which he currently completed from the Gregorran UIniversity, Rome, Italy. Decasa begins his work with an over flowing elaboration of the word umma. He follows Fazlur Rabman's recommendation to study the meanings of umma in various Qur'anic verses in the order of their revelation to get a full understanding of the term. Decasa impressively uses a phenomenological approach in understanding the interpretation of Qur'anic exegesis of the word umma. Employing a contextual historical reading enables him to figure out the reflections of umma in some different particular historical contexts. In the context of the Qur'an, as shown in its varied commentaries, umma as a religious community, is likely open to various interpretations. In general, however, the term umma in the Qur'an reflects a reference to humankind as one community. The mainstream of belief in Islamic tradition is that God sent prophets to different peoples at different times, where they preached one religion and one religious community. In particular, the term umma may also suggest People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitab), Abraham and certainly Muslim community.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v6i3.72

Law and Politics in Post Independence Indonesia: A Case Study of Religious and Adat Courts
No full textThis paper will address the development of Indonesian law in the post-independence era. In the following pages, this paper will demonstrate that changes in the country's political climate affected born the Islamic and adat (customary) courts,in spire of the inflexibility with which both legal traditions had weathered the political upheavals of the first half of the century. To this end, the place of both adat and religious courts in post-independence Indonesia will be analyzed in light of this political change. Two major avenues of investigation will be discussed. The first explains the debate between "pluralist" and "uniformist" groups regarding legal development in the young Republic of Indonesia, while the second discusses contentions between the so-called "secular nationalists" and "Muslims". The discussion provided in these sections is intended to provide a basis for understanding the legal controversies which unavoidably arose as a result of the shift from a colonial to a narional legal philosophy.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v6i2.73

Islamisasi Jawa
No full textBookreview: M.C. Ricklefs, Islamisation and Its Opponents in Java: A Political, Social, and Religious History, c. 1930 to the Present (Singapore: NUS Press, 2012, xxi+575 halaman)This work of Ricklefs is the last in a trilogy and follows Mystic Synthesis in Java: A History of Islamisation from the Fourteenth to the Early Nineteenth Centuries (2006), and Polarising Javanese Society: Islamic and Other Visions c. 1830–1930 (2007). The three works comprehensively discuss the Islamization of Java since the 14th century. Observing the process and dynamics of Islamization in Javanese society during the centuries up until the contemporary era, Ricklefs concludes that Javanese Muslims have surpassed the difficult times of the early spread of Islam, the era of Dutch and Japanese colonialism, the messy government of Soekarno, the totalitarian government of Soeharto, and contemporary democratic period. Undergoing various changes, Javanese Muslims have become an outstanding example of increased Islamic religiosity. The three works dispute the assumption of many scholars that a large part of Javanese–Muslim society is abangan, or nominal, Muslim.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v20i1.35

Makhṭūṭat Butuhaning Manusya Mungguhing Sarak: Mi‘yārīyat al-Islām fī al-Manāṭiq al-Dākhilīyah bi Jawa
No full textThis article discusses the manuscript of Butuhaning Manusya Mungguhing Sarak as an evidence of the acceptance of Islamic texts in the cultural context of inland Java, particularly in the Sultanate of Yogyakarta, which is often considered to be more concerned with the mystical or hakikat aspects of Islam.
