Abstract

The mysticism up to now has been a debatable discourse. The notion and practice to fuse “the self” to “the Creator” understood in so many meanings is an interesting study. No exception the issue also falls on the concept of “Ingsun” or the I-amness solidified by Syekh Siti Jenar. The study is deeply aimed to re-reveal the notion and practice of the prominent figure. According to the writer, the teaching of Ingsun makes serious effort to turn a human consciousness back to authenticity especially in relation to religion. Ingsun opens the awareness that everybody has to actually receive the life always forming a pair among goodnessbadness, life-death and God-servant. Goodness, life and God are the eternal realities of the God. While badness, death and servant are the human realities. Meanwhile the teaching of Ingsun acts as brigde for a gap between human and God. Keywords: Ingsun, The Ultimate Reality, Anthrophocentrism, Syekh Siti Jenar

Abstract

This article investigates the role of Majelis Tafsir Al-Qur’an (MTA), a dakwah movement operating aminly in Central Java. MTA is known as the Muslim purist movement whose mission focuses on the purification of Islam by utilizing the slogan back to the Qur’an and Sunnah. Using the social movemenet theory, the author analyzes the extent to which MTA uses cultural dakwah or symbolic-cultural mobilization as its dakwah strategy in order to produce counter-interpretation towards the established and hegemonic interpretation of the Javanese culture. Cultural dakwah can mean a bolization process of Javanese symbols by ataching new meaning and interpretation to thos symbols. The author further argues that even though the MTA’s dakwah movement is mainly characterized by confontative attitudes, the MATA has also shown its acomodative character by introducing new new understanding and meaning of the existing cultural symbols. Keywords: Majelis Tafsir Al-Qur’an (MTA), Islamic dakwah movement, symbolic-cultural mobilization.

Abstract

Franz von Benda-Beckmann is a famous figure in the field of legal pluralism. He is one among scholars who propose to understand the plurality of norms in a society. Among his many works, those on Minangkabau are well-known in the study of Anthropology of Law (Rechtsethnologie). This article attempts to analyse his ideas in a book entitled Property in Social Continuity: Continuity and Change in the Maintenance of Property Relationships through Time in Minangkabau, West Sumatra published in 1979. It has its relevance in the seminar Anthropology of Islamic Law, especially when the book talked about the pluralistic situation of laws in Minangkabau on problems of property and inheritance. Because the book is predominantly about Minangkabau adat, the author focuses on adat’s relation with Islamic law and more specifically on the problem of inheritance which has been a source of much “competition” between both systems to regulate the society. Keyword: Islamic law, adat, Minangkabau, anthropology, legal pluralism

Abstract

The rapid development of Islamic philanthropic activism in Indonesia has drawn much attention among scholars, practitioners, and policy makers. It appears that efforts to promote Islamic philanthropic activism as a means of fostering social justice have been done by civil society organizations and the state’s agencies. It can be seen partly in the motives and objectives of Islamic philanthropic associations, as well as regulations enacted by the state regarding the practice of Islamic philanthropy since independent era until nowadays. It suggests that the philanthropic culture in Muslim societies is no longer governed in a traditional way, or simply to relieve the poor. Instead, it is expected that through the culture of giving, poverty can be alleviated, and Islamic associations can provide long-term development projects. However, in reality, these efforts to promote social justice have been constrained by several factors, including social, economic and political factors, and therefore enduring and systematic efforts from the state’s actors and civil society, to promote social justice are, still needed. Keywords: philanthropy, Islam, social justice.

Abstract

This article discusses the extent to which pesantren in a rural area finances its activities and operates social programs by revitalizing Islamic philantropic scheme. By way of a case study in a village at Kulonprogo District-Yogyakarta, where a small Muhammadiyah pesantren, which is Darul ‘Ulum, has been operating since the 1930s, this article suggests that the ability of this pesantren in engaging the villagers in religious and social activities has made this pesantren survives until now. Unlike other pesantrens, notably in urban areas, pesantren Darul ‘Ulum functions as an educational institution that provides an opportunity to thus students coming from low-income households, including orphanages to study. This paper asks to what extent a small pesantren in a rural area can resolve its budget constrains, how community supports and the culture of giving can, or cannot, underpine pesantren’s social and educational activities, and what sort of challenges for this pesantren to incease its institutional capacity? Keywords: pesantren, philantrophy, community innitiatives
