Crisis Studies of The Discourse of Identity Politics in Indonesia from The Perspective of Asabiyah Ibn Khaldun
This paper critically analyzes Indonesia's discourse on identity politics through Ibn Khaldun's theory of asabiyah (social solidarity). It aims to diagnose issues surrounding the weaponization of identity for political ends that have polarized society and eroded unity. A qualitative approach scrutinizes empirical evidence on divisive identity politics before theoretically examining it via asabiyah. Recent history shows Indonesian identity politics exacerbating intergroup intolerance and discrimination by fracturing communities along ethnic and religious lines for power consolidation, violating asabiyah's emphasis on cohesion. However, moderate identity politics can enable democratic representation of societal diversity. Moving forward requires recalibrating identity discourse by fostering the unifying religious and nationalist solidarity underpinning asabiyah to balance inherent identity affiliations with preserving pluralistic national harmony
PERSAMI MI Nurussalam: Strategies for increasing students\u27 spiritual intelligence based on natural activities
Spiritual intelligence is an important dimension in the holistic development of students. Although intellectual intelligence (IQ) is often the main focus in education, spiritual intelligence also has a significant role in shaping character, morality, and emotional well-being. Islamic Religious subject is one way to develop spiritual intelligence, a phenomenon that occurs at MI Nurussalam. Islamic Religious subject is given at a percentage of 10% of the general subjects’ hours so that religious subject study hours only last for three meetings a week. Universitas Darussalam (UNIDA) Gontor Women’s Campus Postgraduate Community Service Team organized PERSAMI at MI Nurussalam which aimed at increasing student\u27s spiritual intelligence through fun natural activities, namely Saturday and Sunday Camps (Saturday and Sunday Camps – PERSAMI). The method used is PAR (Participatory Action Research), in partnership with MI Nurussalam teachers and students. This community service has succeeded in carrying out a series of activities which generally includes camps, cross country, and happy bonfires with a series of religious subjects in each activity. PERSAMI of MI Nurussalam activities succeeded in increasing students\u27 spiritual enthusiasm and increasing their understanding of religion through fun nature camp activities
