Muhammad Anggung Manumanoso Prasetyo — 2024-10-14

Organizational conflicts are intrinsically linked to leadership and political dynamics. This study aims to describe an empirical experience and develop a model of the efficacy of political policy practices in resolving organizational conflicts within pesantren (Islamic boarding schools). The study adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing the diary method based on empirical data gathered from fourteen years (2010-2024) of active and consultative management of a pesantren. The research informants include the most senior leader of the pesantren and several teachers involved in the conflict. Informants were identified using the snowball sampling technique. The findings of this study reveal that the political practices of leadership in managing conflicts within pesantren consist of three strategic steps: the central role of leadership and political acumen, the reinforcement of cultural values within the pesantren through collective commitment, and the effectiveness of the employed conflict resolution strategies. Resolving individual conflicts, particularly those involving teachers and leadership, is essential to prevent the escalation of disputes into open conflicts. Conversely, individual conflicts between teachers and staff often lead to collaboration and compromise. Moreover, institutional conflicts between the pesantren and external parties create a competitive environment in which the pesantren's position must be fortified to ensure legitimacy while minimizing external interference.This research carries significant social implications. If pesantren successfully navigate conflicts, they are likely to benefit the broader community. As religious institutions, pesantren require support, protection, and advocacy.

Maya Safitri — 2024-10-14

This research aims to develop an Islamic education model for preventing sexual bullying using a sociolinguistic approach. This approach analyzes language use and social interactions within Islamic education to understand and mitigate sexual bullying behavior. The main issue highlighted is the lack of understanding regarding the integration of sociolinguistic principles into these models. A qualitative research method was employed, involving 5 respondents from Islamic educational settings, 2 sociolinguistic experts, and 3 Islamic religious teachers. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, with social integration theory applied in the data analysis. The findings indicate that educational models such as communication etiquette training, social skills development, the teaching of law and ethics, Islamic religious education, and shared responsibility learning play crucial roles in preventing sexual bullying. They support the formation of a positive social identity and strengthen interpersonal relationships. The uniqueness of this research lies in integrating sociolinguistic and Islamic approaches to address sensitive issues like sexual bullying. In conclusion, Islamic education models based on sociolinguistic principles have significant potential to reduce incidents of sexual violence in educational environments.

Historiographical Analysis of Farag Fouda’s Thought in Kebenaran yang Hilang

Haukil Hannan — 2024-10-14

Kebenaran yang Hilang (KYH), a historical work by Farag Fouda, has garnered significant criticism, especially from Islamist groups, due to its unconventional methodologies and Fouda’s lack of formal training as a historian. These critiques reflect broader debates in Islamic historiography regarding the boundaries of historical scholarship and who is deemed qualified to contribute to this discourse. This study addresses two central issues: the historiographical nature of KYH and its legitimacy as an Islamic historical text, particularly in its treatment of early Islamic political history. Through historiographical analysis, the research explores Fouda’s reliance on traditional sources, his historical methods, and his diachronic, liberal perspective. The analysis places KYH within the theoretical frameworks used by informal historians. Despite Fouda's non-traditional background, this study demonstrates that KYH meets key criteria for a valid historical work by integrating both traditional and modern historiographical approaches. The research introduces fresh perspectives on Islamic history, while simultaneously challenging established narratives. It contends that, despite its controversial reception, KYH holds significant value as a historical text and makes a meaningful contribution to the field of Islamic historiography, meriting further scholarly critique and engagement.

Anis Zohriah — 2024-10-30

Globalization has changed the world rapidly, including Islamic learning. Therefore, this post identifies and analyzes globalization's positive and negative effects on Islamic learning updates. Literature review procedures are used in this article to collect information from reliable sources, such as academic newspapers, novels, and scientific articles related to the impact of globalization on Islamic learning. From the results of the literature review, there are some positive and negative effects of globalization on Islamic learning updates. The positive effects of globalization on Islamic learning updates include increasing access to data and knowledge through technology, expanding the curriculum to include scientific research and modern technology, and increasing women's participation in Islamic learning. Not only that, but globalization also poses challenges that have forced the Muslim world to reform Islamic education so that it fits the changing times and the needs of society. However, the adverse effects of globalization also appear in Islamic learning updates. One of the significant negative consequences is the possibility of Western cultural influences that can interfere with the Islamic values and traditions of Muslim citizens. Another negative consequence is the formation of neglect of aspects of spirituality in Islamic learning due to the influence of secular and materialistic thinking. This post concludes that globalization has had a significant impact on updating Islamic knowledge. The positive effects of globalization have opened opportunities for updating Islamic learning by incorporating data technology into the curriculum, expanding the field of research, and increasing women's participation in Islamic knowledge. However, the negative consequences of globalization such as the influence of Western culture and the neglect of aspects of spirituality in Islamic learning must be handled carefully and wisely.

Moh. Musafak — 2024-11-12

Realizing an independent economy is part of the concept of sharia economics, which is carried out by using funds managed by the mosque to cover its own expenses.The concept of an independent mosque is not only a beneficial driver for the paradigm of empowering people's economies, but it also intends to allow the mosque to maximize its potential by developing positive programs for the surrounding community. Some mosque administrators believe that the number of worshippers is the most important factor influencing the mosque's economy and economic empowerment. Using the Al-Falah Seoul Mosque as the research object, this study intends to describe the success of a model of mosque economic empowerment through MSMEs, despite the mosque's limited number of worshipers. As a field study, this study employs a qualitative approach supplemented by two data-gathering tools: observation and interviews. The results of this study demonstrate the enormous potential of the economic empowerment initiative undertaken by the management of the Al-Falah Seoul Mosque. Although this mosque faces significant obstacles due to the limited number of worshippers, it is able to effectively manage the donations of the management, the congregation, and its sympathizers in various initiatives to strengthen the economy of the mosque, both in the form of consumptive and productive programs such as the Geumbab program (free blessed Friday meals), sponsorship of Da'wah, Bojeunggeum (deposit loans for homes), the establishment of cooperatives, and the Halal Mart MSME. The Halal Mart was founded as part of the mosque's efforts to meet Muslims' daily requirements while also actively promoting the development of South Korea's halal business.

This article examines the understanding of Asbāb Wurūd al-Ḥadīth through a socio-cultural approach and its application within the Indonesian cultural context. The reinterpretation of hadiths with asbāb al-wurūd must always consider historical, social, and cultural factors to reveal the underlying contexts, whether they involve questions posed to the Prophet Muhammad or other circumstances. This study emphasizes the importance of investigating hadiths through a socio-cultural lens for a more comprehensive and contextual analysis. The research aims to uncover various implicit meanings embedded within the social, cultural, and traditional dimensions of the hadith, providing broader insights into their relevance and applicability in different cultural settings, particularly within Indonesia. Conceptually, this research is a literature review employing qualitative methods.

These examples include: (1) the hadith about wearing sandals during prayer (social aspect), (2) the hadith about wearing a turban (cultural aspect), (3) the hadith about women’s leadership (political aspect), and (4) the hadith regarding the command to bathe on Fridays (economic aspect). In conclusion, the socio-cultural approach offers a significant contribution to contextualizing hadiths and adapting them to the unique cultural conditions in Indonesia, enhancing their relevance and applicability in modern society.

New Narrative of Islam and Patriotism: Initiation of Stability of National Life within the Framework of Public Ethics

Robbah Munjiddin Ahmada — 2024-11-12

The existence of patriotism is an important pillar for the continuity of the state and nation. Historically, patriotism has played a crucial role in achieving Indonesian sovereignty.
In this context, patriotism faces challenges, making its actualization necessary. This
is particularly significant as globalization leads to cross-culturalism, which can potentially result in soft imperialism. This study employs a qualitative approach with a
literature study design, presented in a narrative-descriptive manner. It focuses on the idea of patriotism in the Indonesian context, patriotism in Islamic literature (the Qur’an and Hadith), and the relevance of patriotism in the modern context. The discourse of patriotism emerges as a blend of local aspects and global hegemony. Regarding patriotism in Islamic literature, it can be found in several verses of the Qur’an, such as QS. al-Qasas: 85, QS. al-Baqarah: 126, and QS. Maryam: 31, as well as in the Hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad by Imam Ibn Hibban, Imam Bukhari, and Imam Muslim. For actualization, the concept of public ethics offers an alternative for fostering a new sense of patriotism, especially since the existence of patriotism in Indonesia is closely tied to religious discourse.
