Sense of Community dan Fragmentasi Identitas Diaspora Muslim Indonesia: Studi Kasus AIMF-ACT dan IMCV di Australia

The Indonesian Muslim diaspora maintains both social and Islamic identities in their host countries. In this context, numerous studies indicate that the quest for identity generates divisions among Muslims and might, to some degree, incite disputes and rivalries. This article contradicts that assertion. We collected data during a participatory experience in community service activities grounded in Assets-Based Community Development (ABCD) at two Indonesian Muslim organizations in Australia, specifically AIMF-ACT and IMCV. This article, utilizing the qualitative case study technique, reveals that members of both organizations possess a dynamic sense of community. Amidst the diversity of identities present in each individual, a sense of unity emerges. The sense of community derives from geographical linkages and a collective commitment to the significance of practicing Islam within a diverse context. Although not all members realize it, awareness of the variety of Islamic expressions is rising, which gives rise to a new optimism that variations in how Muslims practice Islam can increase social cohesiveness rather than inevitably cause conflict and hostility. This article categorizes prior theories regarding the sense of community, including the perspectives of David W. McMillan and David M. Chavis

Salafisasi Tradisi Intelektual Islam: Al-Albānī dan Suntingan Riyāḍ Al-Ṣāliḥīn

Salafis are known for their strong commitment to practicing Islam as literally as possible in accordance with the understanding of the Salaf (pious forefathers) generation in their daily life. Despite their claim to the purity of their Islamic interpretation, Salafism is historically constructed. This article deals with the taḥqīq (editing) of Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn endeavored by a renowned Salafi scholar, Nāṣir al-Dīn Al-Albānī. It aims to demonstrate how Salafism has been constructed. In doing so, it tries to detail how Salafism has become increasingly mainstreamed, a process we might call “Salafization”. This article argues that Al-Albānī did “Salafization” of Islamic intellectual tradition through taḥqīq. Using Gérard Genette’s paratextual analysis, this article unveils practices and discourses surrounding Al-Albānī’s textual editing. These practices and discourses were guided by his Salafi ideology. In his edition of Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn, there are three examples where Al-Albānī corrected popular Islamic understanding, including the relationship between intention (nīyah) and action (ʿamal), asmāʾ wa ṣifāt, and traditional religious practices and rituals

Makna Islam dalam Al-Qur’an: Studi Penafsiran ‘Abdullāh Yūsuf ‘Alī dan Muḥammad Asad

This research discusses the negative image of Islam that is perceived by some elements of society and religious figures, who often view parties outside of Islam as threats. This creates a dichotomy between the majority and the minority, which has implications for the emergence of violence and oppression. Using qualitative methods with a manhaj al-muqāran approach, this research examines the interpretations of ‘Abdullāh Yūsuf ‘Alī and Muḥammad Asad, both of whom offer inclusive perspectives on Islam. The research results show that although there are differences in approach, both agree that Islam teaches the values of tolerance, religious freedom, and total surrender to God as the path to salvation. This finding confirms that Islam is not an exclusive religion but rather prioritizes coexistence in peace. This research contributes to healing the psychological burden of Muslims and opens insight into the meaning of Islam, which is relevant in the contemporary era

Berkeley and Sensible Things

This paper aims to re-reading Berkeley and reposition his philosophy of knowledge between the claims of adherents of idealism or immaterialism that so far have been labeled by interpreters. In other words, the label as an adherent of idealism or immaterialism is not a position stated by Berkeley himself, but the result of interpreters reading the consequences of Berkeley's philosophy of knowledge. Those who called Berkeley an idealist included: Georges Dickers, Robert G. Meyers and Robert J. Fogelin. His assumption, citing Dickers, branded Berkeley as an idealist because of Berkeley's view that there are only ideas and thoughts rather than physical objects. Meanwhile, those who label Berkeley as adherents of immaterialism include: I.C. Tipton, David Berman. His assumption cites Berman that Berkeley's labeling of immaterialism is hypothetical and a consequence of his philosophical views. This study uses a descriptive method, where relevant texts are collected first as research objects, which the writer then describes as variables. The status variable itself has no influence or relationship or correlation with other variables. The findings of this study are that both interpreting Berkeley as immaterialist and idealist are related to Berkeley's rejection of religious skepticism. In addition, labeling as an immaterialist or idealist comes from the interpretation of Berkeley's schoolar on the consequences of Berkeley's rejection of physical objects that are independent of the subject's mind
