ISLAM JAWA DAN PEACEFUL ISLAM SEBAGAI KONTRA RADIKALISME ISLAM DI PEDALAMAN RIAU, SUMATERA KONTEMPORER
Get PDFThis article is the result of research on the locality of Islam in Indonesia post-reformation, focusing on the rural areas of Riau, Sumatra. The study examines the dynamics of local Islam in three regencies, namely Siak, Pelalawan, and Rokan Hulu, in the province of Riau, uncovering various interesting phenomena. The Riau Malay Islam, which has deep historical roots influenced by Sufism, has developed a pattern and character of peaceful Islam. This peaceful Islam character is shaped through the acculturation of local traditions and culture. At a glance, this peaceful Islam seems to be a collective identity of the Riau Malay Muslims that is unchanging. However, this is not the case. Post-reformation Islam in Riau has undergone dynamic changes. The rise of radical Islamic ideologies promoted by several radical Islamic organizations has led to a shift in the mindset of the Malay Muslims from moderate and peaceful to more radical. Amidst this shift in Islamic thought in modern Riau Malay, networks of Javanese Muslims from various pesantren in Java affiliated with the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) organization have been promoting the spirit of Javanese Islam, which is peaceful, akin to the Malay Islam inherited from their ancestors. In this open social structure, each actor plays a role in interpreting Islam within the mentioned social structure
Pengarusutamaan Nilai-nilai Sufisme dalam Pendidikan Islam Indonesia Kontemporer
Get PDFThis article reexamines and rediscusses the importance of the dimensions of Sufism virtues as the foundational spirit of Indonesian Islamic education today amidst its social dynamics. This article is based on participatory research on psudo-Sufism, namely the Shalawat Adlimiyah located in districts of Bojonegoro and Pasuruan. Findings show that the Sufism dimension is effective in reducing moral decadence and strengthening character education. The teacher-student relationship as the core of Sufism teachings is the entry point as well as a capital for the processes of shaping personality and morality, both of which are the essential in character education. This practice has occurred for hundreds of years in the tradition of Sufism education and is still ongoing today. One of its representations is through Sufism education in the circles of Shalawat Adlimiyah. This paper suggests that mainstreaming Sufism values into the practice of Islamic education is urgently needed in addressing the problems of contemporary Indonesian Islamic education.Artikel ini menelaah dan mendiskusikan kembali arti penting dimensi nilai-nilai sufisme sebagai ruh dasar bagi pendidikan Islam Indonesia dewasa ini di tengah berbagai problematika sosialnya.

Artikel Dinamika Urban Sufisme di Indonesia: Continuity and Change dalam Majelis Shalawat Muhammad di Surabaya
No full textThis paper discusses the phenomenon of urban sufism among the majelis Shalawat Muhammad under the murshid Gus Kahar in Surabaya with followers (disciples) spreading in various places especially East Java, even abroad. The theory of continuity and change is used to critically review Howell’s concept on urban sufism, and to present key concepts on sufism in its generic sense in terms of doctrine and empirical praxis. Although based in Surabaya, the doctrine and praxis of urban sufism in the Majelis Shalawat Muhammad reflects generic sufi teachings. The findings of this research reveal that the principle of continuity and change prevails in sufi tradition from time to time. This finding is different from Howell’s theory which stress on ritual dimension. The followers of Shalawat Muhammad emphasize more on education on the basis of praxis (sālik-sulūk, riyāḥah, and mujāhadah), in addition to the dimension of doctrine itself
KONTEKSTUALISASI SUFISME BAGI MASYARAKAT URBAN
Get PDFThis paper critically examines the important roles of the presence of Sufism institutions for the urban middle class. Writing taken from research on the Majelis Shalawat Muhammad in Surabaya and Bojonegoro presents constructive thinking as well as the creative practices of the murshid, Gus Kahar and Gus Mustakim. Both managed to "reconcile" between modernity and spirituality. The concept of positive sufism and positive zuhud based on Gus Kahar and Gud Mustakim make a significant contribution as well as a reference for urban middle-class people who are often confused and uncertain in combining Islam and modernity. In accordance with the mission of Islam from the beginning of its birth, Islam (sufism) taught in the Majelis Shalawat Muhammad was felt to liberate its jama’ah from diseases suffered by urban communities such as the reason for being analyzed, disorientated, distorted, and so o
Reorientasi Ideologi Urban Sufism di Indonesia terhadap Relasi Guru dan Murid dalam Tradisi Generik Sufisme pada Majelis Shalawat Muhammad di Surabaya
No full textThe article focuses on the discussion about ideology reorientation on Urban Sufism’s doctrines in Indonesia in the post Reformation Era. The study puts emphasis on Majelis Shalawat Muhammad and its teachings. The study on the doctrinal teachings based on practices (‘amalîyah) of Majelis Shalawat Muhammad provides, on one hand, conceptual data on Sufism teachings within their generic meanings. On the other, it is intended to be a comparative study toward theoretical conceptions on Urban Sufism established by Julia Day Howell, Martin van Bruinessen, and other scholars on the field. This study underlines the relation of guru-murid (murshid and his pupils) in preserving doctrinal teachings and practices of Sufism, which have been uninterruptedly maintained from classical period until nowadays. Within the tradition of Sufism, the relation of guru-murid has generated a term what so-called walîy Allâh. Predicate as walîy Allâh within the personality of a pupil is indicated by his ability to reach and “open” a dimension of tawhîd which is called mukâshafah. The dimension of mukâshafah has played a pivotal role in maintaining the transmission of teachings and doctrines of Sufism from generation to generation and ensuring their sustainability
ISLAMIC POPULISM IN POST-TRUTH INDONESIA
Get PDFThis article examines the rise of Islamic populism in post-truth Indonesia. It particularly discusses the proliferation of Islamic populism narratives in social media that lead to hoaxes and hate speeches which appeared in series of political elections. This article argues that there has been a similar pattern of Indonesian form of populism to that of other parts of western countries, particularly the US and the UK. Like populism in the latter two countries, the issue of “indigeneity” has generated the reproduction of post-truth narrates, ranging from false-news, hoaxes, and hate-speeches, blaiming the so-called “foreign” elements of the country. Islamist mobilisation is central to explain the proliferation of post-truth politics which cultivates tensions and divisions among society and reserves as a threat to democratic consolidation in contemporary Indonesia

THE ROLE OF URBAN SUFISM OF SHALAWAT MUHAMMAD ASSEMBLY ON URBAN MIDDLE CLASS SOCIETY
Get PDFThis article critically examines the role of Sufism in the process of social change in society,
especially among urban societies that are symbolized by their middle class society. The subject
in this study is the Shalawat Muhammad Assembly under Mursyid Gus Kahar and his successor,
Gus Mustakim. Although the assembly represents the urban sufism, but it has rooted from
classical Sufism. In analyzing the role of this assembly in the process of social change in society,
the theoretical framework of Cultural Brokers and Cultural Trendsetter of Geertz and Hirokosi
are used as perspectives. The result simultaneously, consistently, and progressively shows that
Sufism has a major contribution in any social change of societies to the value and ideology from
the outside. The inherent value system in Sufism symbolized by the guru (murshid), is not just a
role as a cultural broker as mentioned by the theory of Geertz. In fact, all gurus (mursyid) are
willing to change the value and ideology from the outside into a new system of traditions and
cultures. This phenomenon resembles the cultural role of kyai in the Islamization of Indonesia
in the past. It is the same like the theory of the cultural trendsetter of Hirokos

DESAKRALISASI TRADISI KEAGAMAAN: Studi Tentang Perubahan Makna Simbolik Istighosah di Jawa Timur
No full textAs a symbol system, istighosah ritual can be categorized as a part of slametan ritual. However, substantively, it is viewed from its motif and target and also its forms of execution; there is a difference between istighosah and slametan. Slametan ritual is understood as form of syncretism of Java Islam. But, istighosah ritual is assumed as more “genuine”, as a part of traditional santri community tradition rooted from a big tradition of Islam (high Islam) in Middle East. But it is too bad that istighosah ritual has not been studied by observer elaborating study of local tradition and Islam in Indonesia. Finding of this study seems to have a shifting of orientation and also other deep meaning change which can be expressed. At the genuine concept of Istighosah, it emphasizes on two elementary aspect; (1) Target motif and (2) Form of application. Its field study shows the gradual change of “contemporary” istighosah execution starting to exit from this “track”. There is a cultural system change at the group of traditional Muslim entity. To analyze it, this research use the perspective of Geertz’s symbolic-interpretative as a theoretical framework
