<![CDATA[The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted religion. Provisions issued by religious authorities were imposed upon Indonesian Muslims to cope with. Various responses were identified representing how their religiosities negotiated. Here, direct participation in the implementation of Tarawih prayers in Surabaya was taken as a research unit. This study focused on (1) the diversity in negotiating religiosities amid the pandemic; (2) its underlying reasons; and (3) its potential implications. This qualitative research methodologically took a constructivist approach and phenomenological design by combining open-ended interviews, behavioral observations, and questionnaires in collecting data. The results demonstrated many factors playing a role in the shaping of diversity. They could include social, political, economic, and cultural considerations. The negotiation occurred through acceptance, resistance, and transformation embodying the tensions between logics of religion in addressing scientific contributions. The diversity of religious negotiation amid the outbreak subsequently confirmed the flexibility and adaptability of Islam in addressing historical dynamics.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper explores the role of the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the largest Muslim organisation in Indonesia, in advocating and practicing religious pluralism. It examines the organisation’s commitment to fostering religious pluralism and the institutionalisation of the principle of religious pluralism by interviewing and observing a number of NU administrators and/or activists from the national to the village level, and by reviewing official documents of the NU and articles in media published in East Java and Central Java. The article argues that the NU’s commitment to fostering religious pluralism develops through the organisation’s denunciation of various forms of religious violence and through mainstreaming moderate Islam. The article also contends that the NU’s notion of pluralism and its practices are not monolithic for there has been a spectrum of pluralism within the NU, ranging from the communal to liberal types of tolerance.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper identifies cultural-linguistic practices in Palembang Malay humor and directives in Islamic speech in Indonesia. Berkelakar (make a joke), as part of everyday interactions among the people of Palembang, has not previously been examined. This mixed method research, using Partington’s theory of affective face and affiliation alignment, applies discourse analysis to 10 Islamic speeches to explore Palembangnese humor and directives. Humor in the form of kelakar (jokes), puns and abbreviations and directives in the form of advice appear most frequently in the lectures and teachings on Islam. As a result, this paper raises cultural awareness and highlights the tradition of humor for the people of Palembang and for Muslim and other communities across Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[The dynamics of Muslim communities of Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) in Lombok Island, have a profound emotional impact on the history of Nahdlatul Wathan (NW). It alters how social and religious systems are developed. Since 1953, NW has grown quickly to become the majority Islamic organization in Lombok due to the pioneers’ educational background, as well as their cultural and social capitals in the development of Islam. After the New Order, internal created two strongholds for conflict entities and reconciliation. Open violence has broken out in a number of Lombok locations due to conflicting forces. The integrated dualism of the organization's leadership has not been seen in the resolution of conflicts through practical politics. This article underlines how NW has evolved into one of the cases where division positively affects the growth of mass organizations.]]>

<![CDATA[As a global pandemic which has led to economic and mental health crises, Covid-19 demands resilience in every scope of social systems. This article attempts to examine the resilience of family as the smallest social system and assess the impacts of Islamic law awareness and other factors in family resilience and parenting quality. This article is based on a quantitative and cross-sectional study which involved 296 young people and families as respondents from all-over Indonesia. The study reveals that family resilience is influenced by parenting quality, awareness of Islamic law, and personal financial management. The parenting quality is affected by psychological maturity and personal financial management. In addition, raising awareness of Islamic law among young people and families may strengthen family resilience during the Covid-19 crisis. The capability of parents, especially fathers, as family leaders to transform spiritual-religious activities to enhance family resilience is a strategic issue.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the thoughts of Javanese Muslims on cockfighting in the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries. It has been a custom and culture since humans domesticated chickens. At first, it had a sacred connotation. It eventually devolved into a profane gamble. Although Islam banned animals fighting and gambling, the tradition continued during the Islamic era. This study examines (1) the reasons why Javanese Muslim culture enjoys cockfighting, (2) the forms of Javanese Muslim thought about cockfighting in Javanese manuscripts from the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, (3) its influence on colonial and royal rule in Java. Research showed that some thoughts normalized cockfighting and cockfight gambling, but some viewed the game as an evil deed during the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries.]]>

<![CDATA[This article examines the communication process of Islamic proselytising (da‘wa) carried out by Abdul Somad, commonly called UAS, on YouTube channels. Somad is a representative of the Indonesian Islamic preacher who is regarded to have become famous very quickly and well known as Ustadz Berjuta Follower. Some of his lectures recorded in video format and uploaded on YouTube channels have been successful in attracting the attention of the audiences. Indeed, dozens of videos have been watched by more than five million people per video. Using the Lasswell’s model of communication process ‘who says what, to whom, which channel, and with what effect’ and textual analysis of Somad’s videos on YouTube, this study found that Somad managed to communicate his lectures to the target of da'wa dozens of times compared to conventional lectures from the pulpit to the pulpit. Thus, the communication of da'wa through YouTube in terms of the targeted audience was more effective. The multiplier effect of the audience was supported by the potential of YouTube to provide space for the interaction of the audiences, so as to create a multi-level flow of information. In addition, based on the observed visual and verbal aspects of Somad’s preaching on YouTube indicate that he is a moderate Indonesian ulama.]]>
