Dari Ulama ke Internet: Transformasi Dakwah di Zaman Kiwari

Andries Kango — 2024-12-01

This article discusses the transformation of dakwah (Islamic preaching) from conventional methods to digital, known as cyberdakwah, in the modern era. Digital dakwah has become a global phenomenon by leveraging internet technology, allowing Islamic messages to be spread more widely and efficiently. Society now has easier access to religious information through social media and search engines like Google, which has replaced the traditional role of scholars in providing religious knowledge. This phenomenon leads to a paradigm shift in acquiring dakwah knowledge, moving from religious scholars and institutions to digital platforms. The article examines the impact of this shift, including the incommensurability between knowledge from scholars and Google, as well as the sudden change in the patterns of seeking religious information. While cyberdakwah holds great potential, challenges arise regarding the superficiality of messages and the lack of personal connection between the preacher and the audience. Therefore, integrating digital and conventional dakwah is seen as essential to ensure that dakwah messages are received more deeply and responsibly.

Kiky Hanapi — 2024-12-01

This qualitative research seeks to examine the relation and implicaton of maddah (da’wah teaching materials) to discover new understandings of Islamic teachings especially on the issues of natural disaster occured in Gorontalo. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews to the preachers, natural disaster victims, and the members of Indonesian Ulema Council of Gorontalo (MUI). This research reveals that there ara at least two main argument of maddah in responding natural disasters. In the first stream, there is maddah that focuses on how natural disaster should be coped with human repentances to the God due to their exploitative actions toward the natural balances; while on the other hand, a madah that moves beyond boundaries of doctrines and ask for direct actions to save the earth. Built on the scholarship of dialectical framework, this paper argues that the difference between maddah teachings can be explained by contextualizing the issues of natural disaster through three primary principles: akidah, sharia and akhlaq. In praxis, this maddah’s vision then manifests in the spirit of natural disaster advocacy such as mutual aid, climate awareness and justice, caring and other collective actions that can guarantee safety as a serious devotion to the God.

Mohd Kailani — 2024-12-01

This research analyzes the patterns of social interaction and tolerance between the Malay community and the Batak ethnic group in Bagan Pete, Jambi City. Known for its pluralistic characteristics since the pre-independence era, Jambi City shows how ethnic diversity can be a positive force instead of a source of conflict. Jambi City's Bagan Pete became the focus of the research due to its high diversity driven by the presence of Jalan Lintas Timur and Alam Barajo Terminal, which attracted many migrants, especially ethnic Batak who are predominantly Christian. Through a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with ten key informants, the research reveals the complex social dynamics between the two communities. The results show that social interactions manifest in various forms, including cooperation, conflict, competition and accommodation. Positive interactions are mainly seen in daily social and economic activities, with conflicts that arise generally minor in nature and can be resolved through constructive dialogue. Religious tolerance is a prominent aspect, shown through the Malay community's respect for different beliefs, reinforced by initiatives to develop religious understanding through study groups, Islamic schools, and Qur'anic learning. The findings have practical implications for local government policy development and community development, including the importance of interethnic interaction programs, interfaith dialogue, and strengthening the role of community leaders in maintaining social harmony.

Suhra Wardi, — 2024-12-01

This research seeks to examine a trending phenomenon in society: the hijrah movement and the rise of extreme ideology among youth. The study employs a literature review method, analyzing various sources such as reference books and prior research to establish a theoretical foundation for the investigated issue. The technique involves systematically describing and evaluating books, scholarly articles, notes, and relevant reports pertaining to the topic. The article explores a contemporary adult phenomenon gaining traction in society. In Indonesia, the hijrah movement manifests in two typologies: conservative and Islamist. This research draws on Islamic perspectives, particularly the views of communities promoting content that advocates specific practices—such as cutting men’s trousers (to modify clothing) and enforcing long headscarves and veils for women. Additionally, it addresses youth behaviors that contravene Islamic law, including criminal acts, out-of-wedlock pregnancies, drug abuse, and other social issues. From these observations, the study concludes that the youth hijrah movement has a largely positive impact, embodying Islamic religious values and promoting religious moderation. It also serves as a counter to extreme ideologies that disrupt societal harmony, positioning the Qur’an as a foundational guide for the movement’s development.
