Abstract

Zanzibar is an island located in East Africa and part of the United Republic of Tanzania. In contrast, Kwara State is one of the states of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the West Africa sub-region. Both regions have similar colonial histories and post-colonial experiences. Islamic Jurisprudence has undergone many reforms since the post-colonial era in Zanzibar Island of Tanzania and Kwara State of Nigeria. Islamic Jurisprudence is used in the adjudication process in Islamic religious courts in these two regions of Africa with a sizeable Muslim population. These courts essentially adjudicate Muslim personal matters, such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, wills, and endowment. The official jurisprudence of the people Zanzibar-Tanzania is Shafi’i jurisprudence. For the people of Kwara State of Nigeria, Maliki jurisprudence is recognized. Marriage is considered part of Muslim identity; therefore, applicable jurisprudence is necessary for a fair hearing on Muslim personal matters. The Muslim judges (qadis) play a laudable role in the justice system under Islamic Jurisprudence. This paper uses doctrinal, case law and empirical approaches for the discourse.

Abstract

The Jews’ arrival to the archipelago began acquainted in the 13th to the 20th century, although, much earlier, history shows the Jew’s traffic in the Southeast Asian region had eventuated. In this study, Jew accommodates several meanings, religion – Judaism and the adherents – Jewish or Jewish descendants. Practically, the beliefs’ differences are arduously accepted by a few Indonesians. Various stereotypes are imposed on this community as a form of othering. Moreover, radical ideological propaganda encompassing antisemitism incitement is presented conditionally. The absence of legal acknowledgement has impacted limiting Jews’ precious wiggle room in enforcing their religious freedom. As a further consequence, they will prefer to conceal their identity to hinder friction or disputes with the opposition. Misleading perceptions about Jews and Israel implicitly politicized identities. Aware of the rising negative sentiments, this paper provides an overview of the Jewish existence in Indonesia, from the historical journey, recognition, and prejudice to identity politics. Analysis of legislation and actual reality is carried out to find out the urgency of recognizing Jews’ identity. In the end, Indonesia endures the essential duty to fulfil religious freedom and nurture its diversity for peace.

Abstract

Increasing numbers of retired pastors have been struggling with welfare and ministry challenges upon retirement in Zimbabwe for decades. Scholarship on the well-being and ministry of retired pastors in Zimbabwe is scanty. Thus, this study explored problems that the pastors of the Assemblies of God Back to God (AOG BTG) face after retirement. Applying Osmer’s methodology, this paper addressed what the church and pastors could do to prepare for, and deal with their difficulties. It proposed that the church could rebuild its economic sustainability to resource pastors to effectively prepare for retirement, adopt pension plans and support different ministries that they could engage in. It also recommended that the pastors can embrace tent–making to sustain their welfare, new ministries, and other needs and wants after tenure.

Abstract

This paper tries to offer an approach to studying Islam in the contemporary age by taking into account the socio-political contexts which surround the present-day Muslim communities. Islamophobia, post-truth, the era of identity, and post-orientalism pose new challenges to Islamic studies. The interdisciplinary approach is thus a necessity, in line with the complexity of the problems of contemporary Muslim societies. This study strives to investigate two main research problems, namely: (a) in which ways current socio-political circumstances pose challenges to the content and methodology of contemporary Islamic studies; (b) what kind of knowledge integration can be brought forward in response to these changing contexts. This paper argues that contemporary Islamic studies should move towards al-dirasa al-Islamiyya al-muwassa’a (Islamic studies in its widest sense) by integrating Islamic and modern scholarship. This knowledge integration is strategic in producing knowledge that is both up-to-date and deep-rooted in society. It should also involve the integration of perspectives and worldviews so that it may lead to the production of balanced knowledge, in the sense of not being trapped in apologetics and excessive criticism. This knowledge integration will be more embedded in society if it is developed into a knowledge culture.

Abstract

In the last decade, Islamic Religious Education (IRE) has received a negative image because it is associated with the growth of religious radicalism. Thus, the demands for applying religious moderation in IRE are getting stronger. This study aimed to find epistemological models that can direct IRE to align with religious moderation. Efforts to find answers were carried out by studying the thoughts of several figures of Islamic philosophy and contemporary Islamic studies, pursued by qualitative studies, supported by case studies, and enriched by surveys. The results showed that Musa Asy'arie's Multidimensional Concept, Amin Abdullah's Multidisciplinary-Interdisciplinary-Transdisciplinary Concept, and Siswanto Masruri's Science Collaboration Concept could serve as epistemological footholds in building a multicultural IRE that lead to religious moderation.

Abstract

Family education is very strategic because it is the first and foremost education carried out continuously in large portions. This study analyzed the pawon as a place for children’s education regarding how it was carried out and what values were taught. The author focused on discussing the values of multicultural Islamic education. It was conducted using a qualitative method, so the data was qualitative, collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. In the Tenggerese society, the pawon is a fireplace and can be interpreted as a kitchen. The Tenggerese, who like to gather in the pawon, are very strategic in carrying out education in the family because parents will be free to communicate with children in the Tenggerese tribal family. This teaching is done through various methods, including examples, traditional advice, and methods of attention or supervision. The pawon is so important and valuable as it becomes an effective place to internalize the values of multicultural education from an Islamic perspective which is carried out through those methods mentioned. These values include a) al-mushawarah (democracy), al-musawah (equality), al-‘adl (justice), habl min an-nas (humanity), al-ta’aruf (knowing each other), al-ta’awun (cooperation), al-salam (peace), al-tasamuh (tolerance), al-ukhuwwah (brotherhood). With these values, it is hoped that children will be ready to live in a multicultural society, especially in Tengger, where significant differences in religion and culture exist.

Abstract

Due to the dynamic situations in Germany and other Western European countries, the break with religious traditions has been already completely achieved and a far-reaching spiritual-religious plurality has been formed. Against this backdrop of a multitude, in part contradictory, spiritual signs of the times, even prospective teachers of religion can no longer assume an already established and reflected spiritual-religious identity. The following article indeed will deeply explore and interpret personal and professional experiences through self-reflection and writing and relate these, for example, to religious, cultural, and social implications. In addition, it will reflect more closely the field of tension between pluralistic-secular life-world and (Christian)-religious traditions in which prospective teachers of religion find themselves and present a time-sensitive and addressee-oriented spirituality module supporting them in establishing their own spiritual-religious identity. It is hoped that this sustainable and communicable model serves to enable teachers of religion to communicate about it (with pupils) and to meet others’ religious identities in an open and empathetic way.

Abstract

This paper analyzed how Muslim women at the grassroots level can prevent religious conflict in Tanzania by examining their roles, contributions, and challenges. This qualitative research used observation and in-depth interviews with the main respondents to address the three issues mentioned above. In contrast to their role and contributions to religious conflict prevention, the findings showed that Tanzanian Muslim women at the grassroots level faced numerous challenges. There are two major roles that grassroots Muslim women play in religious conflict prevention: raising awareness and providing religious education. Regarding their contributions, they supported and strengthened Islamic religiosity, empathy, and peace. Lastly, some of their challenges included a lack of resources and financial support, a lack of influence and participation, and a lack of expertise and skills in conflict prevention. The author recommends that other peacebuilding ventures can be studied, particularly by focusing on the contributions that have been played by upper and middle class Muslim women have played in reducing conflict within Muslim society.

Abstract

This article attempts to portray the competition of forces in the Indonesian democratic system, with the Ahmadiyya movement as the test case for the “contestation”. This article takes into account the reformation era as the landscape of the study, since this era opens a relatively wider opportunity for many entities to freely express their ideas and actions. Exploring the socio-political approach, this study comes up with the following findings: first, in the sociological domain, as predicted by Dawam Rahardjo, moderates defeat radical Indonesian Islam as the former outnumber the latter. However, in the political domain, as pointed out by Martin van Bruinessen, since the moderate Islam is just a silent majority, then the radical Islam wins the competition - marked by the issuance of the SKB Tiga Menteri, because the factor at work in the winning of this political competition is more on the “logic of power”, rather than the “power of logic”. The victory of the radical Islam in the political domain in turn implies at the failure of the Ahmadiyya movement in its struggle for survival in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article used a biographical approach to follow the lives of former Muslim extremists in examining individual deradicalization from the actors' perspective. The results of the extremists' deradicalization were examined using theories of Salafi ideology and identity transformation. Deradicalization marks a period of transformation - a process of taking a new ideology and identity and initiating a new power. The doers adopt a new jihad ideology after being influenced by a colorful interpretation of jihad. The deradicalization also shifts from the Salafi jihadi/irhabi to the Salafi Purist, or from a violent to a less-violent jihad. They continue to support violent jihad but restrict how its principles are used. Few extremists decide to engage in moderate or non-violent jihad on their own initiative and without the influence of others. In conclusion, deradicalization does not ensure their eradication. It implies a certain amount of transformation into a new identity, which has profound short- and long-term effects. The first demonstrates that former Muslim extremists who still identify as jihadists, adhere to their ideology, and engage in a variety of jihad-related activities. The deradicalization of the extremists will be more challenging the more in-depth the knowledge and experience of violent jihad. On the other hand, the latter is dedicated to leaving the violent jihad group and ending recidivism.
