Abstract

After pursuing a long academic career as an anthropologist, this article provides my (Mitsuo Nakamura’s) personal academic reflection of how my anthropological approach differs from Geertzian paradigm, why anthropology and Islamic studies should be bridged, and what implications of the conversation between Islamic studies, anthropology, and other social sciences are. By answering the above questions, this reflective article sheds a new light on the relationship between anthropology and Islam and Muslim studies in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia. The anthropological studies of Muslims in Southeast Asia that have been heavily influenced by Clifford Geertz through his work, The Religion of Java (1960), are engaged critically in this article. If Geertz and his students pay a more attention to Little Tradition (local culture and practices) and avoid Great Tradition (e.g. religious concepts and teachings), my anthropological approach argues for the importance of incorporating Great Tradition, which is Islamic Studies in the case of Muslim studies in Southeast Asia, in the study of anthropology and vice versa.

Abstract

In this paper, the writer describes the practice of debus in Banten and its function among present-day Bantenese.The underlying question to be considered here is the way in which debus perfor-mances are now regarded as an integral part of Banten’s tradition. There is anumber of studies devoted to debus in Banten and in several places in Indonesia,most of which are anthropological studies. Little attention has been given to an in-depth study of debus practised by the Bantenese. In fact, debus has developedas invulnerability performance and has gone much further of late than the previous invulnerability performances in Aceh described by Snouck at the end of the nineteenth century. The writer attempts to show how the debus perfor-mances combined with aspects of tariqah’ now also include several new attributes

Abstract

Quranic exegesis has a special place in the development of Islamic intellectual tradition and civilization at large. As the main source of Islamic teaching, for centuries Muslims have attempted to understand the various meanings of the Qur’an in order to be in line with the current needs of the society through the process of contextualization. In this article, the author presents and explains the way in which Abdullah Saeed, a professor in Islamic studies from the the University of Melbourne, Australia, contextualize the meaning of the Quran. In particular, this article analyzes some methodological aspects proposed by Saeed in the qontextualization of the Qur’an: 1) identifying the world of the text; 2) analyzing text critically; 3) connecting the text to the early Islamic community as the first receivers; and 4) relating the text to the current needs of society. Keywords: Quranic exegesis, Abdullah Saeed, tafsir methodology, contextualization.

Abstract

This paper wants to describes the contribution of al-Anbari's thought in the interpretation of the verses of the Koran, this is inseparable from al-Anbari's expertise not in the field of interpretation but linguists. The main source of this research is the work of al-Anbari entitled "al-Adhdad" while the secondary source is the work of al-Anbari in other fields and the work of others that are related to the research theme. The results showed that al-Anbari as a nahwu Kufah expert had different thoughts from other Kufah scholars both in the fields of syntax and morfology. His thinking in the problem of syntax and morfology seems to have a significant contribution in providing an understanding of the verses of the Koran, especially the verses in which the word at-tadhad is used. The contribution of his thoughts can be understood from his interpretation of the use of letters, idioms, verbs, name of subject, name of object, circumstance, and derivations in the Koran.

Abstract

Western epistemology was greatly influenced by Greek philosophical ideas. In the course of history, Epistemology has been dominated by patterns of thought that are rational, secular and free from religious values and beliefs. History shows that the Western Epistemology turned into a large school that became dominant: in the form of rationalism, empiricism, criticism, and intuition. Although it has various methods and approaches to acquire knowledge, in principle the building and its foundation have the same way of thinking that comes from a philosophy that upholds the mind and also relies on human sensory abilities. The West denies revelation as a source of knowledge and for Islam, revelation is the highest source of knowledge. Authentic revelation is the Qur'an and Hadith. The result of this paper shows Western epistemology has a foundation and roots that are based on philosophical thinking that is far from the touch of religious values. Western epistemology in its manifestations is then limited to the acquisition of knowledge about the visible world such as sensory nature and not touching on other realms. Western epistemology focuses more on reason and senses as the main source of science, dichotomization, anthropocentrism, opposition to the spiritual dimension, relentless uncertainty, secularization, desacralization, and empiricism. While tthe Islamic epistemology views both sensory and metaphysical objects and recognizes the three sources of knowledge at once namely senses, reason, intuition. Each of these sources has different levels of ability so they cannot be separated and must be used proportionally. The object of knowledge in Islam is not only empirical, but also metaphysical. The source of knowledge in Islam is also different from Western epistemology. If the West only recognizes the senses and ratios, then in the Muslim view, knowledge comes from God obtained through: the senses are healthy, khabar sadiq, and intuition.

Abstract

This paper investigates the dialectics between “political legitimacy” and “social fabric of society”, as it develops in the Imamite-Shiite Qur’anic commentaries on Qur’anic verse 16: 90. It reveals the transformation and development of Imamite-Shiite exegesis pertaining to Q. 16: 90, ranging from classical to modern. It takes into a closer look into seven Qur’anic commentaries which may serve as examples of different typologies within Imamite-Shiite exegetical tradition. It argues that the Imamite-Shiite interpretation on this verse moves between these two poles (political legitimacy and social fabric of society) most notably due to the religious and political circumstances of the exegetes. From these Quranic commentaries, one may also notice the division and ecumenism between Sunnism and Shiism. This paper underlines a colourful nuance of Shiite exegesis and denies the simplified belief that Shiite exegesis is sectarian.

Abstract

The author discusses the nature of the Tablihi Jamaat, an India-based Islamic movement which in the past decades has witnessed organizational transformation by becoming the transnational Islamic movement active in many parts of the world. The author pays attention to the characteristic of religious ideology of the organizational pattern of Tablighi Jamaat. He argues that a strong organizational commitment and voluntarism among the members of the Tablighi Jamaat have had a profound impact on the enduring Tablighi Jamaat activities. Yet, ideologically, unlike other Islamic movements such as Ikhwanul Muslimin or Hizbut Tahrir whose ideological foundations are nurtured through written communication and speech based-congregational preaching, the Tablighi Jamaat has utilized direct and personal approach in delivering the messages of Islam to the communities. Keywords: Tablighi Jamaat, religious Ideology, transnational organization, the Islamic movement.

Abstract

Bentuk-bentuk kedermawanan seperti zakat, infak, sedekah dan wakaf atau sekarang lebih populer dengan istilah filantropi Islam, adalah jantung dari ajaran Islam itu sendiri, yaitu rukun iman yang lima. Praktik dari bentuk kedermawanan ini dalam sejarah Islam, membuktikan bahwa Islam dalam doktrin normatifnya, adalah agama yang menekankan kesalihan sosial yang berujung pada keadilan sosial
