Abstract

The relationship of power and resistance against it has been widely discussed as an intellectual discursive debates. However, resistance groups against the theological authority is off the debate. This paper analyses the resistance movement of Salawah Wahidiyah (SW) in the face of the erroneous fatwa by the Assembly of Indonesia Ulema (MUI). With the analysis of power relationships, knowledge, and resistance, this paper finds that SW is fighting against the misguided fatwa of Tasikmalaya MUI which is carried out as the majority of theological hegemony to defend the doctrine and amaliyah as well as to reject the deviating claim. This is all done to maintain the freedom to believe and practice the teachings of an inside democracy which guarantees and protects the right of religious freedom. Ironically, the resistance of SW in Tasikmalaya was not able to replicate the success of the Centre SW in conducting resistance against NU figures. SW Tasikmalaya failed to reconcile the differences of religious views with MUI. As a result, the motion of SW became limited because it is still stigmatized as deviant.

Abstract

The increased number of hijabi women (women who wear hijab) in Indonesia presents changes in religious-socio-political lanscape of Muslim community in Indonesia. For hijabi, hijab is a technology for the self. It represents one’s identity through performance. Beside religious identity, hijab does explain hijabi’s social and economic status in the society. Especially with the growth of hijab industry, hijab becomes part of lifestyle. Tradition has now developed more into fashion. There emerge several hijab communities initiated by young hijabis to promote hijab trough popular culture. Looking through the phenomenon of hijab from this lense, it could be argued that hijab does not necessarily express hijabi’s religiosity and spirituality. Given certain contexts and meanings, each hijab style explains hijabi’s identity becoming instead of identity being. This paper discusses hijab focusing on two main concerns; first discussion relates to hijab and identity formation and the second relates to hijab and regulation of women’s bodies.

Abstract

There are problems of islamic jurisprudence existing in society, but Qur'an and hadith as the references of shari'a are keep stagnant. Text of Qur'an and hadith are stagnant-without development, while the problems of jurisprudence are still growing. In fact, it is impossible to leave the problems without a solution. In that context, like other Islamic organizations, Nahdhatul Ulama (NU) actively issues religious fatwas. In order to keep the religious fatwa still based on the islamic law, NU has established a procedure of bahtsul masail, which is a scientific forum to respond the problems of jurisprudence, both individual and public jurisprudence related to public affairs. In delivering fatwa or answering the problems of jurisprudence, NU likely only picks up old Jurisprudence reference which are relevant to the problems. However, NU is allowed to perform ilhaqul masa'il binadhairiha, even istinbath in jama'i if the problems of Jurisprudence which can not be solved with the old Jurisprudence reference.

Abstract

Using Mohammad in Archipelago as a metaphor of the postmodern religious landscape, this article argues that Mohammad, a prophet of Muslim born in Mecca Saudi Arabia, has undoubtedly become a consumer item in shalawat council (Majelis Shalawat) practiced in many areas of Indonesia, including Probolinggo. This new religious phenomenon has been reproduced in line with the emergence of blurred negotiation between the profane and the sacred, and by the fact that religion is always posed in social life and in business life, shalawat practice also depends itself on the meaning and process making, or the certain socio-cultural context. This study sets the Majelis Shalawat Syubbanul Muslimin, located at Probolinggo, in relation with the ways they reproduced its penetration of religion vis-a-vis market economy. It also portrays how Syubbanul Muslimin produced a spatial order of certain followers since they have successfully practiced modes and techniques of production, consumption, and structuration of their own spiritual market. Additionally, it also contributes to the construction of charisma they have shaped by using the economic-political discourse of media.

Abstract

This present study aims to investigate the essence and values of moderate Islam and internalize them in the process of education. The research findings are expected to be able to contribute a wide range of knowledge as one of alternatives to prevent and overcome symptoms of extreme and radical actions in students’ religious activities. It was a qualitative descriptive study by employing library research. This study highlights the imbalance between the concept of Islamic teachings demonstrating moderate values and the actions eroding the moderate Islamic values. Education plays a pivotal role to bring the image of peaceful Islam back by internalizing the moderate Islamic values in the process of education. The results reveal that (1) moderate Islam refers to a form of Islam that emphasizes the values of moderation between the ‘left-wing extremist group’ (liberal group) and the ‘right-wing extremist group’ (fundamental group) in implementing Islamic teachings; (2) moderate Islamic values include the values of tolerance in showing attitudes, the value of tolerance in respecting diversity, the value of inclusiveness in accepting something new with lots of strengths, the value of logic and flexibility in understanding texts, the value of relevance in interpreting texts by deeming their contexts, the value of innovation in solving problems that the answers have not been stated in the texts yet, and the value of social transformation; (3) the process of internalization covers three stages, namely: the stages of value transformation, value transaction, and trans-internalization. The first stage copes with the process that is carried out by teachers in informing the values of moderation conceptualized in Islamic teachings. The next stage promotes that the values of moderation are interactively communicated between teacher and students. The last stage suggests that familiarizing behavior and actions that represent the moderate Islamic values is performed through not only verbal communication, but also mentality and personality.

Abstract

Material wealth, good health, and efforts to make money are central, but not solely, to the flourishing of religious commodifications. Pola-Pertolongan-Allah is a business-based-religious training which argues that strong beliefs in fate and luck are essential to the efficacy of the rituals, which is believed to generate ‘practical benefits’ for the participants of training. By paying for IDR500,000 – IDR1,500,000 / meeting for private class, and IDR150,000 /three hours for public classes, ‘the devotees’ will get also some kinds of bonus, including additional handbooks of tauhid, practical guide of various shalat patterns. PPA, by doing so, has successfully made the participant to be instrumental in performing meritorious acts to secure future happiness for themselves and their descendants, but still must depend on their fate and moral luck if they are to have the best possible outcomes. PPA, which operates with Multi-Level-Marketing recruitment system, stands in the increased commercialization of Muslim community in Probolinggo. This study finally figures out that commodified religious mode and technique of merit making could be subverted and employed to negotiate and express their religious-economic class identities.
