Mystical Practices and Amulets: The Views of Abdul Karim Amrullah in Minangkabau Culture

Fauzan Fauzan — 2024-06-30

This research aims to explore the conception of magic and amulets during the time of Abdul Karim Amrullah, both in terms of concept and practice in Minangkabau. Magic and amulets are distinct aspects but closely related in Minangkabau culture. In the past, shamans primarily controlled magic, while amulets, as countermeasures, were held by tarekat scholars. Over time, with the integration of custom and Islam in Minangkabau's philosophy "adat bersendi syara' and syara' bersendi kitabullah," there was a shift in expertise between magic and amulets. Both became skills possessed by both shamans and scholars. Subsequent developments showed a decline in magic practitioners, with some even becoming scholars. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. There are three main questions addressed in this article: first, how did magic and amulets emerge in Minangkabau; second, what is the depiction of the development of magic and amulets in Minangkabau; third, what is Abdul Karim Amrullah's conception of magic and amulets in Minangkabau. According to Abdul Karim Amrullah, magic, and amulets are practices that corrupt faith and can lead to polytheism. The proliferation of magic and amulets in the past was due to the rigid and fatalistic interpretation of "qudrah" by the Minangkabau society.

Dwi Setiowati — 2024-07-24

Holistic nursing includes spiritual care, which benefits nurses' spiritual health and patients' healing. However, despite integrating Islamic spirituality into the nursing curriculum, there is a gap between previous research findings and feedback from student practice fields regarding the suboptimal spiritual care provided by UIN Syarif Hidayatullah nursing students. This study aims to explore the experiences of newly graduated Muslim nurses in terms of readiness for spiritual care. The study used a qualitative approach involving fourteen informants, including eight newly graduated nurses. Thematic analysis was conducted through transcription, coding, and theme formation. Seven themes were identified: (1) perceptions of spiritual care; (2) readiness and ability (mental, physical, psychological, social, spiritual); (3) experiences; (4) benefits of spiritual care; (5) success and hindrance factors; (6) efforts to improve spiritual care; and (7) the role of nursing education. There is a need for habituation in nursing education before graduation and the enhancement of spiritual care among newly graduated Muslim nurses to improve reflection in nursing care.

The Controversies of Hardline Islam In Indonesia: A Conflict Resolution Approach

Nurkhalis — 2024-06-30

The existence of hardline Islam in Indonesia has changed the shocking Islamic culture without violence and has presented an attitude of extreme and radical actions. This research is studied through a qualitative approach with library research. The purpose of this research is to suggest Indonesian hardliner Islam and the government respond to every hardliner maneuver not equated with handling terrorists with a pattern of shot to kill. Therefore, the problem-solving of Indonesian hardliner Islam is resolved by Galtung-style conflict resolution with a “positive peace” step. The results of the research reveal that Indonesian hardline Islam cannot be equated with hardline Islamic movements in other Muslim countries that are similar to the Taliban style or terrorist movements. Most Indonesian hardline Islam is treason, extortion, and undermining against Pancasila by imposing the value of sharia as an effort in “shariatization” so that their movements contradict the highest state regulations that they fall into actions in the criminal category.

Keberadaan Islam garis keras di Indonesia telah mengubah budaya Islam yang mengejutkan tanpa kekerasan menjadi sikap yang ekstrim dan radikal. Penelitian ini dikaji melalui pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian kepustakaan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memberikan saran kepada Islam garis keras Indonesia dan pemerintah untuk menyikapi setiap manuver kelompok garis keras tidak disamakan dengan penanganan teroris dengan pola diintai kemudian tembak mati. Oleh karena itu, penyelesaian masalah Islam garis keras Indonesia diselesaikan dengan resolusi konflik ala Galtung dengan langkah “perdamaian positif”. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa Islam garis keras Indonesia tidak bisa disamakan dengan gerakan Islam garis keras di negara-negara Muslim lainnya yang mirip dengan gaya Taliban atau gerakan teroris. Sebagian besar Islam garis keras Indonesia bersifat makar dan merusak pemahaman terhadap Pancasila dengan memaksakan nilai syariatisasi sehingga gerakan mereka bertentangan dengan peraturan tertinggi negara sehingga masuk ke dalam tindakan yang dapat diklasifikasikan dalam kategori kriminal.

The Role of Arabic in Strengthening Muslim Religious Identity: Insights from Minangkabau’s Social Transformation

Isral Naska — 2024-10-06

This study aims to analyze the role of Arabic as a foreign language in strengthening the religious identity of Muslims as a social group. Previous studies indicate that religious identity can shift due to various factors, with religious understanding being the most influential. From the Islamic perspective, the Qur'an, regarded as the holy scripture and written in Arabic, serves as the primary source of Islamic teachings. Thus, proficiency in Arabic is considered a crucial factor in shaping Islamic identity. However, previous research has not thoroughly examined how Arabic strengthens Muslim religious identity from a sociological viewpoint. This study employs a qualitative method through literature review, focusing on Minangkabau's history as a case of socio-cultural acceptance of Islam. The analysis is conducted using William H. Sewell Jr.'s theory of social transformation. The findings reveal that Arabic plays a central role as a resource in Minangkabau's social transformation, particularly in the formation and reinforcement of Muslim religious identity at the social level.
