SOCIAL MEDIA, MUSLIM COMMUNITY, AND THE PANDEMIC: Context-Oriented
- Authors: Arndt Graf, JM Muslimin
  Abstract: This study focuses on misinformation and disinformation (MDI) in social media in Indonesia and Malaysia during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study argues that empirical inquiries into such general categories of contexts reveal the specificity of each of them in situ, e.g. complex landscapes of emotions in Indonesia and Malaysia as described by Heider, or the normative news clusters observed by Goal et al. in Indonesian and Malaysian online news media. The conclusion is that both content- and context-oriented strategies to counter MDI should consider the fragmentation of audiences in Indonesia and Malaysia and their heterogeneous emotional and normative landscapes. A hybrid, combined approach including both social media content and social networks outside of social media, but relevant for the emotional and normative context of social media users, e.g. trusted religious communities, seems to be a promising strategy to counter MDI.

GUS BAHA, SANTRI GAYENG, AND THE RISE OF TRADITIONALIST PREACHERS ON
SOCIAL MEDIA
- Authors: Dawam Multazamy Rohmatulloh, Muhammad As'ad, Robi’ah Machtumah Malayati
  Abstract: This research discusses the efforts of the old religious authority in Indonesia, particularly NU activists and preachers, to maintain its values amidst the substantial exposure of new online preachers. This study employs qualitative methods by observing da’wah on social media platforms: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. The sample of this research is the da’wah of KH. Bahauddin Nursalim (Gus Baha) through Santri Gayeng’s social media accounts. This research argues that the online da’wah of NU, specifically Gus Baha and Santri Gayeng, is adequate and effective to compete with online Islamist activities, such as those from former HTI members. The success of Santri Gayeng is attributed to its strategy to implement da’wah 2.0, which maximizes visual aesthetics, communication skills, and marketing tactics, besides the use of Indonesian subtitles. These factors have attracted audiences comprising Nahdlatul Ulama members as well as former jihadists to Gus Baha’s house to listen to and broadcast his lectures online. The response of traditionalist Islam groups through Santri Gayeng has two meanings; namely, it marks the engagement of NU followers in online da’wah interactions and enhances the characteristics of related moderate groups in Indonesia.

STUDENTS’ RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE: Comparing Muslim Students at Public
Schools and Pesantren
- Authors: Sulaiman Mappiasse, Hayadin Hayadin
  Abstract: Due to modernization and globalization, Indonesian Muslims today face complicated difficulties related to cultural diversity. The moderation allows Muslims to learn the religion from a variety of sources both inside and outside of school. Religious education is typically taught in public schools, boarding schools, and madrasas. This article aims to identify the religious tolerance among students at public schools and Pesantren. The study also examines the causes of the tolerable inequalities among students in three different school categories by putting the phenomenon in a social and policy context. The Data were collected by distributing survey to 926 students in 2021 in North Sulawesi. According to the findings, Muslim students in public schools and public madrasas are significantly more tolerant than those at Pesantren, and both groups of students are equally tolerant. Our understanding of how educational policies affect Muslim students’ religious tolerance outside of Java has been expanded by this surprising finding.

THE BIBLICAL INSERTION IN THE JAVANESE QURANIC EXEGESIS: Textual and
Contextual Analysis of Tafsir Soerat Wal-’Asri by Siti Chayati,
Surakarta
- Authors: Akhmad Arif Junaidi, Luthfi Rahman
  Abstract: This study examines the insertion of Biblical sources as references in Tafsir Soerat Wal-’Asri by Siti Chayati, a Javanese Quranic exegete who interprets chapter 103 (al-Asr) of the Quran in Javanese using Javanese Script. The Chayati’s work using some Biblical verses of Barnabas, Matthew, and John as its references, is unique and thought-provoking to understand the motives and its historical background. This study finds that the use of Bible verses in her work was aimed to strengthen her claims on the truth of Islamic teachings against the missionary activities of the Dutch in Java. At the beginning of the 20th century, they attempted to weaken the Islamic community by conducting the Zending movement and establishing Seminary Christian Schools in several regencies in Java. Therefore, debates on religious concepts had become a central issue to win the heart of the traditional Javanese society. The tensions between Christian missionaries and Muslim preachers in that era turned out to be significant factors influencing the insertion of Biblical references in the work of Chayati’s Quranic exegesis.

HARMONIZATION BETWEEN CUSTOMS AND ISLAM IN THE JALAWASTU COMMUNITY
- Authors: Enkin Asrawijaya
  Abstract: There is a growing study concerning various processes of localisation of widely recognised world religions and universalization of local traditions currently, notably associated with the field of religious moderation. One of the issues being stressed is how Islam is able to establish and coexist in harmony with local cultures. This study examines the interaction of Islam with Indonesian indigenous traditions in West Java called Jalawastu, the existence of which continues to present. In other words, this study aims to analyze the religious-cultural lifestyle of the Jalawastu customary community, which have long been practised. A qualitative approach with an ethnographic method was applied. The results of this study illustrate that the relationship between Islam and Jalawastu traditions is in harmony and balance. Those are markedly indicated in the community’s daily life. They are both practising Islamic teachings and performing ancestral traditions. The community’s compliance with their customs brings about the long existence of the traditions even until this modernized era. To sum up, Jalawastu traditions and Islam are the ways through which humanitarian relationships and local wisdom could be reinforced in the era of globalization.

THE ADAPTABILITY OF PESANTREN IN INDONESIA DURING THE NEW NORMAL ERA
- Authors: Shofiyullah Muzammil, Egi Tanadi Taufik, Siti Mufidatunrofiah, Nazifatul Ummy Al Amin
  Abstract: This article discusses strategic issues of pesantren management during the Covid-19 pandemic-based “adaptation to new habit” era in Indonesia. The research is carried out to a total of fifteen pesantren in West Borneo, Yogyakarta, East Java, and West Java. Sociocultural perspectives of pesantren during this period also has influenced the emergence of adaptive protocols toward public interest (maṣlaḥah). Therefore, each pesantren has authentic regulations in dealing with the disasterous situation (sadd al-dharā‘i`). The results classify the adaptive responses of pesantren during the pandemic into three categories from the upper, middle, and lower tier management. Aside from misfortunes for humanity during the disaster, academics of pesantren suggest that they obtain several cocktails of wishful thinking from this phenomenon, i.e. inspiring ideas to maintain their faith and piety (hifz} al-dīn) while developing enthusiasm for studying science and religion (hifẓ al-‘aql). To summarize, all observed pesantren have attempted to balance physical (baṭīnīyah) and emotional (żāhīrīyah) neccesities in overcoming the pandemic situation.

SKETCHING THE EARLY 20th CENTURY HIJAZ-JAWI ISLAMIC SCHOLARSHIP THROUGH
THE COMMENTARY LITERATURE: A Preliminary Study on Muḥammad 'Ali
al-Mālikī’s Inārat al-Dujā
- Authors: Asep Nahrul Musadad, Muhammad Fauzinudin Faiz
  Abstract: This article seeks to highlight some important accounts on the intellectual history of Ḥijāz-Jāwī Islamic scholarship by examining the syarh (gloss or commentary) literature. The work under investigation is Inārat al-Dujā Syarḥ Tanwīr al-Ḥijā Naẓm Safīnat al-Najā written by Muhammad ‘Ali al-Mālikī al-Makkī (1870-1945 AD/1287-1364 AH). This book is a commentary (syarḥ) on Tanwīr al-Ḥijā Naẓm Safīnat al-Najā, a notable work by Ahmad Qusyairi bin Ahmad al-Siddiq al-Fāsuruwāni al-Lāsimī (1892-1972 AD/1311-1392 AH), a prominent Jawi scholar of the early 20th century who had established a correspondence with Muhammad ‘Ali al-Maliki. Beginning with the initial exploration on what might be called “the trans-regional scholarship of Safinat al-Naja”, this paper highlights the collaboration between ‘Ali al-Malikī and Ahmad Qusyairi al-Fāsuruwanī through Inārat al-Dujā, including the historical sketch behind the publication of the work, some important aspects it contains, and its significance for the larger picture of the early 20th Century Hijāz-Jāwī Islamic intellectual history.

CHANGING TRENDS IN THE STUDY OF SHARIA IN INDONESIA: An Account on
Relevant Bibliographies
- Authors: Muhammad Latif Fauzi
  Abstract: The study of Sharia in a Muslim country, like Indonesia, has been experiencing a significant change in terms of approaches, methods, and object of study. This article deals with the continuities and changes in the study of Islamic law in Indonesia. Based on my bibliographical study, it emphasizes that the study of Sharia in Indonesia has changed in response to the changing social and political surroundings, which I categorize into three phases. First, during colonialism, the relationship between Islam and local customs has become an important subject of intense debate among scholars. Second, an upturn occurred in the mid-1950s, as the study of Sharia was no longer oriented to examine the debates on the relationship between Islam and local practices. Instead, Islam is seen as a set of interpretative resources and practices. This approach continued to develop until the 1970s. Third, along with the codification of Islamic family law, the study of Sharia has been given to the dynamics of Islamic law in courtrooms, examining the position of women and the role of judges, and in state policies both at provincial and district levels.

AL-TAṢAWWUF WA RIYĀDAT AL-A‘MĀL FĪ AL-MA‘HAD AL-ISLĀMĪ BI
INDŪNĪSĪYĀ: Dirāsah fī Ma‘had Riyāḍ al-Jannah al-Islāmī bi
Bātshīt Mūjūkirtū
- Authors: Amir Maliki Abitolkha
  Abstract: Sufism is always seen for having more emphasis on the salvation hereafter. It also has become a spiritual force in human souls to adapt to changing times. However, ulama in pesantren Riyad al-Jannah Islamic Traditional Boarding School, Pacet, Mojokerto understand it differently as they see sufism and entrepreneurship which focuses on economic betterment can join hand. They believe that Sufism does not lead people to the abyss of ecstasy and stagnation but rather leads them to the prosperity through the practice of deeds in worldly life without neglecting the interests in hereafter. This study aims to reveal the most in-depth exposure to entrepreneurship based on Sufism values in the Pesantren Riyadlul Jannah. The results show that the Sufi circles and teachings in this institute lead students to actively develop entrepreneurship with the support of business centers and their facilities by the school. The school develops entrepreneurship skills for santri to build economic independence. This way will prevent them from the lure of worldly pleasure, materialism, and secularism. This entrepreneurship-inspired Sufism will generate welfare, independence, with the blessing of God.
