Hajj, Istita'ah, and Waiting List Regulation in Indonesia
No full textThis study examines the concept of istita'ah (capability), and the problems faced by pilgrims in Indonesia with the departure regulation that implements a waiting list system. This research is purely a literature study using a normative juridical approach. Islamic law stipulates that one of the conditions that must be met by someone who will perform the pilgrimage is istita'ah (capable) which includes aspects of physical and spiritual health, financial ability, and safe situation. Unfortunately, even though these conditions have been met, it does not necessarily allow someone to go directly to Mecca to perform the pilgrimage. The reason is that there is a quota system set by the Saudi Arabian Government to balance the coming pilgrims with the capacity of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. As a result of this quota system, prospective pilgrims in Indonesia have to queue waiting for departure, with a waiting time span of tens of years. This study finds out that the waiting list system, although aimed at ensuring the smooth and comfortable in performing pilgrimage, turned out to be an obstacle, because there is no guarantee that a person, in such a long waiting period, will remain healthy, even many. some of them had died before the time of departure arrived. Therefore, the government must find a solution to suppress the waiting list so that it does not continue to extend, by setting certain criteria for individuals who will register, for example the age limit and whether or not the person has performed hajj before

No full textThis research presents critical study of Nahdlatul Ulama’s dynamic discourse on social change. The background of this study is rooted in the significant role of NU in the history of Indonesia, particularly in the realm of cultural and religious ideologies. The research methodology employed encompasses a combination of qualitative approaches and document analysis to attain a comprehensive and profound comprehension, to understand how the NU tradition is integrated into moderate thinking and the extent to which the transformation of such thinking can act as a catalyst for societal progress. The theoretical framework of this research encompasses a profound understanding of the traditional values of NU, the concept of moderation as the cornerstone of thinking, and how thinking evolves in the face of contemporary challenges. The results of the analysis indicate that NU traditions not only persist in everyday life but are also effectively assimilated into the modern context. Moderation, as a pivotal aspect of NU thought, emerges as a crucial component in promoting interreligious dialogue and contributing to political stability. The transformation of NU's thinking is evident in its response to advancements in technology and science. Although NU thinking encounters challenges, particularly in preserving cultural heritage, this study underscores the opportunities for the development of NU thinking in the future. The conclusions of this study offer a critical evaluation of NU's impact on societal change and emphasize the significance of comprehending and permeating traditional values while remaining relevant in the face of evolving times. The implications of this research hold valuable insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers in supporting the positive development of a society founded on the moderate values of NU
Tazkiyah al-nafs sebagai Terapi Penyakit Jiwa (Tinjauan Hadis)
No full textArtikel ini mengupas tentang makna tazkiyah al-Nafs yang terkandung dalam hadis Nabi SAW. Hakikatnya manusia merupakan makhluk yang memiliki entitas fisik dan non-fisik. Non-fisik meliputi jiwa, ruh, dan qalb, aql di mana jika terjangkit penyakit maka sulit untuk disembuhkan dibanding penyakit fisik, karena sifatnya yang mudah untuk berubah. Sehingga para psikolog baik Muslim maupun Barat ikut serta dalam mengambil peran dalam penyelesaian persoalan tersebut. Dalam kajian psikolog Barat, persoalan tersebut terhenti hanya pada manusia sendiri, tidak melibatkan hal-hal yang metafisik. Untuk itu, perlunya penelitian ini mengangkat persoalan tazkiyah al-Nafs dalam perspektif hadis. Penelitian ini menggunakan kajian kepustakaan (Library Research) dengan metode analisis konten (contens-analysis) pendekatan hadis dengan sanad perawi yang muttasil. Sehingga menghasilkan beberapa poin di antaranya bahwa tazkiyah an-Nafs merupakan solusi Muslim untuk menyucikan jiwanya dari beberapa penyakit manusia, seperti berbangga diri, sombong, kikir, dan lain sebagainya. Bahkan hadis Nabi pun juga dijelaskan bagaimana seorang Muslim mampu mengkondisikan dirinya dari berbagai penyakit jiwa, yaitu dengan shalat, puasa, dzikir, dan masih banyak lagi metode dalam Islam untuk tazkiyah an-Nafs
Sakaya: Balia Tradition Transformation in The Kaili Tribe Community of Palu, Central Sulawesi
No full textThe social changes of the Palu community after the 2018 disaster affected the values, attitudes, behaviors, and perspectives of some religious groups in society, which in turn forced the Balia tradition to transform as an adaptive step. This qualitative research aims to find the transformation of Balia by using an ethnographic approach. The research location was in the cities of Palu and Sigi. The sample was determined twice using the snowball technique and convenience sampling, which resulted in five respondents. Data was collected using depth interviews and analyzed using triangulation. This study found that Balia has transformed into a new form adapted to the community's needs and demands, called Sakaya. The term Sakaya is intended for someone who can be a medium or a means of communication with supernatural beings. Sakaya is not a colossal ritual but a personal ritual. The transformation occurs in the second aspect of Balia and does not leave the primary aspect. As a result, these rituals have become more effective, efficient, inexpensive, and easily accessible to the public. Another finding of this research is that the function of the Sakaya is extended beyond Balia, which includes economic, social, and political aspects, which makes it more acceptable in the social life of the Kaili tribal community
Packaging Fatwa in the Post Truth Era: MUI Fatwa Contest Facing New Religious Authority
No full textIndonesia has a federation organization that brings together several Islamic organizations. This organization is known as the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). One of his duties is to issue Islamic legal fatwas to serve as guidelines for the Muslim community. However, on a practical level, quite a few fatwas give rise to polemics. In several cases of intolerance and mobilization of political interests, MUI fatwas are often used as a means of legitimation. This article wants to discuss the contestation of the MUI fatwa with the dynamics of Islamic thought in Indonesia in the context of the digital era. Data was obtained from online news documents regarding MUI fatwas in several cases with social problems. This research found that the MUI fatwa polemic arose due to the need to consider Indonesia\u27s social setting and political conditions. Hence, Islamic law products were prone to being misused and misunderstood. This study also argues that the MUI authorities must package the fatwa by prioritizing cultural diversity, social impacts, and political tensions at that time. Thus, the MUI fatwa must be formulated apart from being based on scientific grounds and supported by good online media infrastructure. So they will be better able to contest with the new religious authority in the post-truth era. Good fatwa packaging via social media is also oriented towards finding substantial values in responding to community problems based on the principle of uniting the community (tauhid al-ummah) and protecting the community (himayat al-ummah)
