Islam Multikultural: Hikmah, Tujuan, Dan Keanekaragaman Dalam Islam

MULTICULTURAL ISLAM: LESSONS, OBJECTIVES, AND DIVERSITY IN ISLAM. Multiculturalism is a major challenge faced by religions in todays world, given any real religion emerged from the religious and cultural plurality. Indonesia has one of the worlds most multicultural prularis and even for the country consists of distinct ethnic, linguistic, religious, cultural, culture, and so forth. The diversity of culture is encapsulated in the motto Unity in Diversity, which means even different but still one. In the socio-historical, the presence of Islam in Indonesia can not be separated from a multicultural context as can be read in the history of Islam in the archipelago brought by Walisongo. Furthermore, making Islam multicultural topics or discourse is interesting and needs to be widely disseminated. This is at least three reasons. First, the circumstances of conflict. In the midst of circumstances that often conflict, multicultural Islam requires the establishment of the Islamic community who love peace, harmony and tolerance. Therefore, the goal to create and promote the establishment of the situation and the conditions of peace, order and harmony became an important agenda for the people of the world, including Indonesia. Second, the reality that diversity. The religions diversity, ethnic, ethnicity, and language becomes imperative to be addressed by all parties, especially the Muslim community in Indonesia. Therefore, social responsibility is not only on the government but also religious. In other words, peace-conflict societies also rely on contributions creation of a peaceful religious people, including the Muslims in this country. Robert N. Bellah, a sociologist of religion from the United States, said that through the Prophet Muhammad in Arabia, Islam has become a huge multicultural civilization, mighty and awesome to sur pass the greatness of the country the birth of Islam, the Arabian Peninsula. In this context, tolerance and mutual respect for religious differences, as revealed Wilfred Cantwell Smith, needs to be maintained and cultivated. Third, religious norms. As a noble teachings of religion would be a strong foundation for the clergy in general to create conditions so that no profanity. In this case, religious inter pretations is not expected based solely on the text, but also the context of that text can be captured according mean age meaning. The debate between the flow taaqquli are based on the power ratio/reason and the flow of taabbudi which relies on aspects of the text has been represented by two streams, namely Mutazilah and Ashariyah, the lessons of the past can be very interesting

ISLAM, HUMOR, DAN KRITIK: BUDAYA BANJAR DALAM KUMPULAN CERITA SI PALUI MASA ORDE BARU

 Artikel ini bertujuan mengkaji kumpulan cerita pendek si Palui dalam bahasa Banjar yang terbit teratur di Banjarmasin Post. Kumpulan cerita Palui karya Yustan Azidin (1933-1995) berjudul Si Palui Raja Pandusta digali dan dianalisis dari sudut pandang glokalisasi atau pribumisasi Islam, yakni bagaimana berbagai nilai dan praktik Islam yang universal dan global diserap dan diapropriasi oleh budaya lokal Banjar. Artikel ini juga mencoba menggali berbagai pesan dan kritik yang terkandung di dalam cerita-cerita itu dilihat dalam konteks sosio-politik masa Orde Baru. Dalam kajian ini ditemukan bahwa cerita-cerita itu dengan fasih menghadirkan bagaimana orang-orang Banjar menginternalisasi nilai-nilai Islam melalui kerangka budaya mereka sendiri dalam berbagai bentuk pertemuan dan ritual keagamaan, termasuk pandangan mereka terhadap perempuan dan poligami; bagaimana mereka merespon ideologi pembangunan pemerintah; dan bagaimana mereka memandang orang Jawa sebagai suku terbesar di Indonesia. Cerita-cerita itu juga berhasil menghadirkan humor, kebijaksanaan dan kritik terhadap masyarakat Banjar dan/atau pemerintah Orde Baru. The purpose of the article is to study a collection of short stories of si Palui in Banjarese language that was regularly published in Banjarmasin Post. The collection of the short stories written by Yustan Azidin (1933-1995) entitled Si Palui Raja Pandusta is explored and analyzed in terms of glocalization or indigenization of Islam, that is, how the universal and global Islamic values and practices are absorbed and appropriated in the Banjarese local culture. The article also explores the messages and criticisms contained in the short stories within the socio-political context of the New Order period. This study finds that these short stories eloquently represent how the Banjarese people internalize Islamic values through the framework of their own culture in various forms of religious gatherings and rituals, including their views of woman and polygamy; how they respond to the government’s ideology of development; and how they look at the Javanese, the biggest ethnic group in Indonesia. The stories successfully present humor, wisdom and criticisms of the Banjarese society and/or the government of the New Order

HISTORICAL DYNAMICS OF INTER-RELIGIOUS RELATIONS IN SOUTH KALIMANTAN

This paper presents a historical overview of the dynamics of inter-religious relations in South Kalimantan. Early conversion to Islam in the 16th century, and more intensive Islamization by the 18th century, can be seen as the formative period of Islam in this region. The encounter and clash between the new religion and the existing beliefs and practices were unavoidable. By the late 19th century, the clash seems to move to another target, namely the colonial power associated with Christianity. By this period, Islam was transformed from the court into a people movement against the colonial power. By the first half of the 20th century, the problem of the 18th century apparently reappeared but in another form, namely the clash between puritan and traditional Islam. The making of the Indonesian nation state by the second half of the 20th century pushed the Banjarese Muslims to be involved in the ideological debates, and even in a rebellion against the state. During the Soeharto period, Muslim-Christian tensions at the national politics also influenced this region. Finally, in the Reformation Era, the Muslims in the province face serious challenges of intra- and inter-religious plurality

Religion and Dialogue in Indonesia: From the Soeharto Period to the Present

The fact that Indonesia is a multi-religious country may lead us to question if there have been initiatives among di?erent religions to dialogue, and if so, who have been the main advocates of this dialogue, what were the issues being discussed and what are the results of the dialogue? This paper tries to answer these questions by analyzing the development of religious dialogue from the Soeharto period to the present. The historical overview will hopefully give us some lessons to learn for the future of dialogue in Indonesia and perhaps also in the neighboring countries.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v17i3.455

State and Religion in Aceh: The Competences of Religious Education Teachers (Referring to ACT 14, 2005)

Studies on religious education teacher’s competences in Aceh could not be separated from studies on state’s intervention toward education. State hegemony occurs in the form of regulation formalization which regulates efforts for improving qualification and competence of teachers. The research showed that the presence of Act No. 14, 2005 and the Government Regulation No. 74, 2008 had been used as legal reference to encourage the improvement of Aceh religious education teachers’ qualification and competence. This is a qualitative study in which triangulation in data collection was used. The data was then collected through documentations, observations, and deep interviews. This work emphasizes that improving teachers’ competences in Islamic education system in Aceh was in accordance to and did not contradict with national education system and moreover strengthen the content of Act No. 14, 1005 and Government Regulation No. 74, 2008.

However, teachers experienced that socialization process and implementation of regulation has yet to receive upmost attention. The study also suggests that religious education teachers’ qualifications and competences will significantly contribute to the development of religious education quality, thus Islamic education transforms intently in national and state relations order
