Abstract

The current Islamic resurgence, simply defined as the return of Islamic beliefs, doctrines, and values as a sources of personal identification manifested in personal, political, cultural, and social life, poses positions Indonesian Muslims in the an enduring struggle to reconcile between religious tradition and modern life. Canonical traditions and classical Islamic texts that prophesied prophesy the imminent coming of YaumulQiyamah(Armageddon) and their popular reception among Indonesian Muslims reveal how religious texts still have a powerful influence in shaping the way Indonesian Muslims perceive the world and how they deal with it.This paper seeks to address continuing scholarly debate on the interconnection of Islamic tradition and modernity in contemporary Indonesia. It deals particularly with popular books on millenarian topics published in the last 15 years. Millenarian discourse on the imminent coming of Mahdi (the Savior) requires and implies that Muslims to be strongly committed to perform all religious obligations as prescribed in the Shariah (Islamic law). Millenarian discourse on the coming of Dajjal (the Deceiver) and the spread of Fitnah (Confusion) and Jahiliyya (Ignorance) has also becomes an ideological tools to make a demarcating line between Muslim-ness and Kafir-ness, and between the so-called dar Islam (House of Islam) and darHarb(House of Unbelievers).

Abstract

This article examines the dynamics of radicalism and terrorism in Indonesia and Malaysia and how government from both countries responded to the rise of radicalism and terrorism. It discusses the development of terrorism in Southeast Asia from the period of Darul Islam in 1950s to Jama’ah Islamiyah in 2000s. In addition, it argues that Indonesia and Malaysia have become barometer of terrorism networks in Southeast Asia. Radicalism and terrorism networks also have transformed the character of Islam in Southeast Asia, and this certainly challenges the future of mainstream Muslims in the region who are recognized as maintaining moderate and peaceful Islam. This is based on interviews to terrorist and former terrorist detainees and government officials in Indonesia and Malaysia. It also comes from analysis of books and documents from radical-jihadist organizations and government.  It recommends state and civil society policy to unite in preventing and countering radicalism and terrorism in Southeast Asia, especially in Indonesia and Malaysia.

This research is based on the lack of humanistic pedagogy study which was born from the literary works of Nusantara written in manuscript by applying perfectly the Arab metrum in it. The presence of various modern pedagogical currents carried by the sociologists and observers of Western education, has made a new mapping in the study of modern education in the archipelago. Indeed the study has been popular since the early 20th century AD with a very specific theme evidenced by one of the manuscripts entitled Mir'ātu Afkār al-Rijāl Nadzm Ta'līm al-Muta'līm by a scholar from Solo. This study will prove the perfect application of the themes of Islamic pedagogy and Arabic metrum in the archipelago which is very concerned about the humanist value of the learner by displaying the harmony of the word-for-word pattern written in it. The method used is descriptive method of analysis which includes textual criticism in manuscript, that is so that text can be read well and photographing applying of humanist pegagogy and Arabic metrum. The result of this research is that the humanist flows of pedagogy in the archipelago adopt the Islamic pedagogy and Arabic sciences are perfectly proven with specific themes and patterns of rhythm / rhythm formation in the poetry text.

Abstract

Pesantrens or islamic boarding schools have become a common model of religious education in some countries in Southeast Asia, especially in Indonesia, Malaysia, Southern Thailand, and Southern Philippines. Muslim scholars (Ulemas) from Southeast Asian countries learned and shared each other on Islamic studies. Up to 1980s, students from Malaysia, Southern Thailand and Singapore studied Islamic studies at Indonesian Pesantrens. This model of pesantren teaching affected to the regional perspectives of practicing Islam accomodating local tranditions. Some Patani Ulema of Southern Thailand delivered the tradition of recitation of Islamic studies books with Javanese (pegon) letters in pesantren and madrasah. Furthermore, the scholars constructed Southeast Asian Muslims developing moderate and peaceful Islam, and created Muslim leaders in the region. They become cultural brokers or mediators in social, political and economic development. This article is based on fieldworks in some pesantrens in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
