The Degradation of The Role of Mamaca Art as a Medium for Proselytizing Moderate Islam

Ahmad Badrus Sholihin — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of the fading of the mamaca art tradition among the Madurese community, especially in Glagahwero Village, Kalisat District, Jember Regency. The art of mamaca, which used to function as a means of cultural Islamic da'wah, has now experienced a significant decline in terms of regeneration of actors, community appreciation, and social relevance. This is exacerbated by the strengthening of scripturalist-textualist da'wah that is less accommodating to local cultural expressions. The purpose of this study is to understand the factors that contribute to the decline of the art of mamaca, examine the responses of religious leaders and artists to these conditions, and explore the implications for moderate Islamic da'wah in the contemporary era. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques that include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants consisted of religious leaders, artists, and local villagers.The results showed that the decline of mamaca was influenced by the absence of a regeneration system, resistance to innovation, and the dominance of a literalistic religious model. The art of mamaca has the potential to be revived if it is integrated into pesantren education and local cultural programs that are more adaptive to the current context.

A Different Kind of Political Islam: The Ideas of The Sudanese Scholar Mahmoud Mohamed Taha

Cristi Rusin — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Ustadh Mahmoud Mohamed Taha is one of the least known but most interesting figures in Sudanese history. The movement he led, the Republican Brotherhood, played a significant role in the debates within Sudanese society during the 1950s-1980s. This study presents the life and thought of this figure, analyzing his main work: The Second Message of Islam. This volume forms the foundation of his entire Islamist ideology, a progressive, pacifist, and tolerant Islamism very different from that of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. The essential characteristic of his conception is linked to the distinction between the Islamic message revealed in Mecca and that in Medina — more precisely, between the Meccan and Medinan surahs. He believed that the core teachings of the Qur’an with universal and timeless applicability are the Meccan ones, whereas the laws from Medina are temporary. These unique interpretations by Taha brought him into direct conflict with the Sudanese authorities, who accused him of apostasy — a conflict that ultimately culminated in his execution. His movement and ideas, unusual for traditional Islam, remain a relevant example of an attempt to modernize Islam and perhaps could have contributed to preserving Sudan's unity.

The Malay Community’s Yellow Rice Scattering Tradition in Baru Village, South Arut, West Kotawaringin

Silvana Dewi, Selvia Santi, Suryanti — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This research explores the yellow rice sprinkling tradition practiced by the Malay community in Kelurahan Baru, Arut Selatan, Kotawaringin Barat Regency. Originating from the pre-Islamic era, this ritual has been transformed over time through Islamic adaptation. While often mistaken as a Dayak custom, it is actually rooted in Malay traditions, shaped by local cultural interactions including elements of Dayak culture and enriched by Islamic teachings.Today, the ritual is typically performed during significant events such as weddings, religious ceremonies, and welcoming guests. Though its outward form has evolved, it retains deep symbolic meaning, representing prayers for protection, well-being, and gratitude. The practice now often includes Islamic elements like sholawat (praises for the Prophet) and intentions directed to Allah SWT, highlighting its religious integration.This qualitative study investigates how the ritual is conducted and its meanings within the community. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with community elders, religious leaders, and local residents. The findings show that the ritual is still carried out with a sense of sacredness, usually by respected cultural figures, and is often combined with the tampung tawar ceremony. Ultimately, this tradition reflects a harmonious blend of ancestral heritage and Islamic values within Malay cultural identity.

Contestation of Religion, Politics, and Social Identity: a Historical Analysis of Ali Sadikin's Policy Towards the Localisation of Kramat Tunggak in Jakarta, 1950-1999

Ahyaul Ahnafia Sholeha, Hario Aji Nugroho — Sat, 04 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This research examines the dynamics of Kramat Tunggak Localisation as part of the social structuring policy in Jakarta in 1950-1999. As Jakarta developed into a metropolitan city, prostitution emerged as a social problem that was difficult to control. Governor Ali Sadikin then took action by establishing an official localisation in Kramat Tunggak, North Jakarta. The policy aims not only to regulate the practice of illegal prostitution, but also as a surveillance effort, prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, as well as rehabilitation and resocialisation programmes for prostituted women. This research employs the historical method, which includes the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data were obtained from various archives, newspapers, scientific papers, and literature reviews, with analysis based on Clifford Geertz's cultural interpretation approach and Michel Foucault's biopolitical theory. The research findings show that Kramat Tunggak is not only a representation of social policy, but also a symbolic space where the state, society, and women interact in the context of power and morality. The closure of these localisations in 1999 signalled a shift in public moral discourse as conservative Islamic groups gained strength in the post-New Order era. However, the policy triggered the spread of prostitution to more hidden locations. Thus, the story of Kramat Tunggak's journey reflects the complex relationship between morality, state power, and social identity in urban spaces.

Factionalization of the Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia: Transformation of the Leadership of a Terror Organization into a Political Organization

Yassirly Amrona Rosyada, Alvin Noor Sahab Rizal, Muhammad Noor Sulaiman Syah — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study analyzes the Majelis Mujahidin mass organization where in its development there were internal conflicts that caused several internal factions and a shift in leadership figures. Based on the support and study of the theory of factionalism, identity politics, and leadership, this thesis aims to find out some of the factions in the Majelis Mujahidin and the shift in the area of da'wah from Yogyakarta to West Sumatera. This study uses two types of data sources, namely primary data sourced from the field, observation and in-depth interviews. While secondary data is the type of data that comes from scientific works such as books, articles, journals and others related to the context of this research, especially about factionalism and identity politics of the Majelis Mujahidin. While the method in this research is a qualitative-descriptive method that uses a socio-political approach. The results of the study revealed that the Majelis Mujahidin had several factions. The first is the Abu Bakar Ba'asyir faction with a jihadist da'wah style. The two factions of Muhammad Talib where the Majelis Mujahidin in their preaching emphasize study through knowledge. The three factions Irfianda Abidin and Jel Fathullah with political missions. The emergence of Jel Fathullah and Irfianda Abidin advancing in the realm of Indonesian politics is quite surprising for Indonesian Islamic organizations. Both are known to be in the central management structure of the Majelis Mujahidin. As a result, the Majelis Mujahidin, which is well-known as an organization that challenges the democratic system, raises its figures to participate in the contestation in a system that it considers kufr. The emergence of political factions in the Majelis Mujahidin certainly shows that their existence is quite massive to this day.
