Natural disasters, which occur regularly in Indonesia, have inspired many volunteergroups to emerge from different groups of society, including religious group.This paper focuses on the experiences of the religious volunteer group calledSantana (Islamic student’s response to disaster) in East Java region. The groupis part of Islamic education institution (pesantren) that emphasizes religious aspectsand attempts to realize religious values in everyday life. The group givesreligious meaning to the experience of disaster and the efforts to help disaster victims. The aim of this study is to describe Santana’s response to natural disasteras not only a natural but also a cultural phenomenon. This study reveals alarge number of religious symbols referring to disaster as natural and theologicalphenomena. Referring to the religious text, disaster victims are categorized bySantana as weak people (mustad’afin). It has inspired this group to engage intheir social activism. Their commitment to the religious tenets involves not onlygiving material aid but also promoting spiritual empowerment. This gives insightinto the dynamic of how religious groups manifest their religious values by providingboth material and spiritual aid.Bencana alam yang terjadi hampir setiap tahun di Indonesia telah mendorongkemunculan kelompok relawan dari berbagai elemen masyarakat, termasukkelompok agama.

Abstract

In the last few years, literature on Islamic themes has become increasingly popular in Indonesia. It is commonly categorized as Islamic literature identified by Islamic texts and symbols on the book cover and its content. The literary works have been popular as reflected in the record sales figures. Previously, some literary works dealing with Islamic themes failed to gain public attention. Interestingly, those works are not mentioned by people as Islamic literature. This paper aims to discuss some questions on why are some literary works on Islamic theme mentioned as Islamic while others are not? Is there Islamic literature within Indonesian literature? What are the differences between Islamic literature and kitab literature (sastra kitab) written by Muslim scholars in the Malay world? By exploring the social context of reader responses toward selected literary works on Islam, this study reveals that the label of Islamic literature is created to confront opposite themes in Indonesian literature. The term Islamic literature remains a problematic and debatable issue related to literature based on Islamic themes in both old and modern Indonesian literature.

Abstract

Ali Ahmad B?kath?r was a prolific Arab playwright, novelist and poet of the 20th Century. He wrote almost fifty literary works and more than thirty plays in Arabic which developed Islamic character in Arabic literature. His works sought to establish Islamic values and traditions that occurred in Islamic societies. Although his works contributed immensely to the Arabic and Islamic literature, B?kath?r has received lack of attention from scholars both in Islamic world and in non-Islamic world. This paper explores the Muslim effort in acquiring national independence on the literary works of B?kath?r, particularly on the concept of nationalism. In the process of acquiring national independence, Indonesia?s figures usually utilized the paradigm of nationalism through words of dialog. The words of figure that referred to nationalism will be discussed. In this paper, we argue that B?kath?r literary work?s ?Audat al-Firdaus contains the spirit of nationalism for gaining independence.
