Interspecies Kinship of Liuran: Rethinking Marshall Sahlinsâ€™s Mutuality of Being

Sofiatul Hardiah — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The anthropological discussions regarding the concept of mutuality of being by Marshal Sahlins have focused on the idea that kinship only occurs between humans through certain rituals or traditions. This idea is limited in considering non-human species that also potentially form interspecies kinship. Through a multispecies ethnographic approach, this article discusses interspecies kinship in the context of joint agricultural care without exchanging exact amount of payment (liuran) by female farmers in Kampung Laut District, Cilacap Regency, Indonesia. In this study, the data were collected through participant observation techniques and in-depth interviews with four female farmers as key informants who have been involved in liuran for years. The findings showed that the interspecies kinship between female farmers and rice and garden crops is like mother and child because there has been an emotional-ecological bond in the process of caring for sedimentation farming over decades, primarily through taboo practices. The process of caring for rice and garden plants together also forms a socio-economic support system among female farmers, which helps strengthen their interspecies kinship. Considering non-human species as part of the family members places them in an equal relationship with humans in contributing to the sustainability of living ecosystems.

Islamization of Knowledge of Ismail Raji Faruqi: Integration-Interconnection to the Contextualization of Indonesian Science

This article discusses the concept of Islamization of knowledge promoted by Ismail Raji Faruqi. This concept aims to defeat secularism that blinds Muslims and brings misfortune. The spread of secularism has encouraged Muslims to make concessions to what the West offers them. Therefore, reading the Islamization of knowledge in the context of scientific integration-interconnection becomes essential to raise awareness among Muslims who are considered to glorify secular science so that people are too far from the concept of tawhid (monotheism). This research used a literature review method through several textual sources related to the topic discussed, primarily Faruqi's work entitled "Islamization of Knowledge," and secondary in the form of similar articles on the theme of Islamization of knowledge. Then, it is to consider the aims and objectives of the Islamization of knowledge, linking it with the concept of integration-interconnection, and considering the contextualization of the Islamization of knowledge in the Indonesian science. The results of this paper are as follows: Islamization of knowledge becomes an inclusive concept if we consider the existence of two disciplines. As a Muslim scientist, the realm of Islamization of knowledge must be imprinted in him to achieve the ideals of Islam. Islamization of knowledge is closely related to integration-interconnection, namely integrating sciences without legitimizing that one science with another cannot be merged. Islamization of knowledge is also a step in creating an Islamic civilization in the world of science. In the context of Indonesia, the Islamization of knowledge can be seen in the concept of science integration in several Islamic universities in Indonesia which has different concepts, but the same essence. The purpose of Faruqi's thought is to demand Muslims to be creative.

Al-'Ilm Al-á¸ªudhÅ«ri: Philosophical Epistemology and Sufism Common Ground

Kholid Al Walid, Darmawan Darmawan, Ni'mah Umm Hani D. Barra, Nurul Ain Norman — Sat, 30 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This article investigates the possibility of finding common ground between philosophy and Sufism. It aims to answer whether these two can converge on an epistemological level. The discourse of al-'ilm al-áº–udhÅ«riÂ was used to answer this question. The main source for this article's study is the works of Mulla Sadra and Suhrawardi, which are analyzed descriptively with a philosophical approach. This article concludes that al-'ilm al-áº–udhÅ«ri is a form of real knowledge obtained by individuals directly from God without needing mental representation or linguistic symbolism. This knowledge is spiritual, not sensory-rational. Mulla Sadra and Suhrawardi believe that the only way to obtain this knowledge is through spiritual observation by practicing Sufism, which involves the rites of mujahadah and riyadhah.

Actualization of the MaqÄsid Al-SharÄ«'ah in Indonesia: A Case Study of the Spiritual Counting of Prisoners in Judicial Institutions

Aida Humaira, Imam Sujoko, Edwin Syarif, Nurul Adhha, Raju Moh Hazmi — Sat, 30 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Correctional institutions are undergoing a transformative shift from punitive spaces to acknowledging the humanity of inmates. This study delves into Indonesian correctional facilities' religious-based coaching programs prioritizing inmate protection, reintegration, and dignity. Analyzing these through Islamic law and Maqasid al-sharÄ«â€™ahprinciples, it explores personality development models and identifies limitations in current approaches. While initial findings showcase positive outcomesâ€”behavioural changes and reduced distressâ€”the study highlights the predominance of lecture-based programs, signalling the need for more comprehensive Islamic law-based models. Different inmate categories, especially those in serious crimes, display varying spiritual indicator weights. Spiritual development correlates positively with behavioural adjustments. Overcapacity issues in certain facilities, like Salemba and Jakarta Women's Correctional Institutions, pose severe challengesâ€”from limited resources to inadequate staff ratios and hindrances in providing proper medical and psychological support, notably impacting drug abuse victims. The study underscores the urgency of restorative justice in sentencing, emphasizing rehabilitation and societal reintegration.

The Solutions of Natural Environmental Degradation in the Perspective of Tafsir An-Nur

Nur Ilham Arifuddin, Abdur Rokhim Hasan, Ahmad Kamaluddin — Sat, 30 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This article examines the solutions to the natural environmental damage from the perspective of Tafsir An-Nur by Teungku Muhammad Hasbi ash-Shiddieqy. The study of natural environmental damage by a contemporary Indonesian mufassir in bil-maâ€™tsur and bir-raâ€™yi style is essential to understand the local interpretation of Al-Qurâ€™an concerning such damage. Through literature study, this research used a descriptive analysis method to describe the perspectives of Tafsir An-Nur regarding verses on the natural environmental damage and the embedded solutions in al-bÄ«â€™ah and fasÄd terms. This article argues that human objectification and greed toward the natural environment are the root of natural environmental damage. Humansâ€™ detachment from the moral-spiritual guidance taught by religion, especially Islam, has led humans to exploitative attitudes toward the natural environment. Tafsir An-Nur offers several solutions to overcome the natural environmental damage, namely interpreting the position of humans as caliphs fairly and wisely, cultivating the qanaâ€™ah character, eliminating hypocrisy in behaving, and building mutualistic relationships toward the natural environment. This article shows that efforts to end the damage to the natural environment begin with humansâ€™ attention to moral-spiritual aspects of ecology.

The Strategic Role of the Da'i Nagari in Driving Rural Development in Pasaman, West Sumatra

Desi Syafriani, Muhammad Ridho, Muhiddinur Kamal — Sat, 30 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This paper analyzes the strategic role of Da'i Nagari (local preacher) as Da'i assisting the nagari (village) government in driving rural development in Pasaman Regency, West Sumatra. Da'i Nagari is a local government-created program that rewards preachers in West Sumatra. This study aims to describe the significant role of Da'i Nagari in the development process. This research is critical since Da'i Nagari is a specific regional government initiative that only exists in West Sumatra. By providing an overview of the presence of Da'i Nagari in Pasaman Barat, this qualitative descriptive study elucidates the role of Da'i Nagari in the development process. Additionally, this study addresses academic concerns regarding the potential positive effects of the Da'i Nagari program on rural development. The results of this study are revealed by describing Da'i Nagari as an extension of the regional government in developing rural communities. The presence of Da'i Nagari assists the community in resolving various religious problems, including character building, religious information development, and social issues.

Violence Against Ahmadiyya as Productive Intolerance: Adressing Jeremy Menchikâ€™s Godly Nationalism

Muhammad Rizkita, Waryani Fajar Riyanto — Sat, 30 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This article examines godly nationalism using the theory of secularism. This connection is based on a shared "we-feeling" rooted in the common belief systems fostered by cooperation between the state and religious organizations (NU, Muhammadiyah, Persis). Jeremy Menchik argues that violence against Ahmadiyya should be viewed as "productive intolerance" rather than merely damaging democracy, as it is intended to protect this religious bond. The concept of godly nationalism has been criticized for neglecting religious freedom as a human right. This concept also overemphasizes macro-level data while failing to explain the local realities experienced by Ahmadiyya. The primary data for this research is Menchik's book titled "Islam and Democracy in Indonesia: Tolerance Without Liberalism,â€ then, it will be analyzed theoretically by borrowing Jose Casanova's secularism theory. This article found that the absence of secularism discourse throughout his work influenced his stance in understanding the nuances of religious intolerance in Indonesia. According to Menchik, Indonesia is viewed as a moderate country, but not in the form of binary opposition, as seen in the genealogy of secularism in the Western world, where religion is often positioned with certain negative prepositions.
