Tarekat and Social Change: The Influence of Tarekat Movement in Sukamanah Rebellion, Against Japan in 1944
type: item
description: This paper discusses the influence of the tarekat movement in the rebellion against Japan in 1944 from the pesantren in Sukamanah, Tasikmalaya, West Java. After the treaty of Kalijati, 1942, Japan took full control of the land of West Java. Sociologically it was considered to drain and enslave the people of Sukamanah, and theologically coupled with the Seikerei ritual imposed by the Japanese and considered by the leader of Sukamanah, Zaenal Mustafa, as a form of violation of Islamic principles became the motivation for the rebellion. This paper uses the historical method with a social approach. This writing uses the point of view of Sartono Kartodirdjo's social-religious approach in seeing the symptoms of resistance to Colonialism based on religious elites and the impact of a significant social change due to the oppression of colonialism which here is Japanese Imperialism, Tarekat being the only base of resistance. The final finding is that Zaenal Mustafa's role as a figure who further developed Tarekat Syattariyah, although political resistance in Java was very dominant was closely related to the development of the Tarekat Qadiriyah wa Naqsabandiyah community into a new force of resistance in West Java.

Collectivism and Climate Influence: Interpreting Indonesian Society Through the Perspective of Ibn Khaldun
type: item
description: This study analyzes the influence of climate on the formation of social character in Indonesian society based on Ibn Khaldun’s theory. In the Muqaddimah, Khaldun argues that hot and warm climates foster collectivism through environmental adaptation. This research employs a philosophical approach and literature analysis to examine the relevance of this theory within the context of Indonesia’s tropical climate. The findings indicate that the collectivist character of Indonesian society, as seen in practices such as gotong royong (mutual cooperation), reflects an enduring adaptation to ecological challenges. The study also highlights how Indonesia’s agrarian traditions and communal resilience are rooted in climatic necessity. However, the growing impact of globalization and modernity is contributing to a shift toward individualism, disrupting traditional communal patterns. This dynamic tension between collectivist values and individualist tendencies presents new socio-cultural challenges. Ultimately, this study underscores the continued relevance of Ibn Khaldun’s environmental theory for interpreting Indonesia’s socio-cultural transformations and opens avenues for future interdisciplinary research that bridges philosophy, sociology, and climate studies.

Implementation of the Book Ta’limul Muta’alim in Shaping the Character of Santri at Pondok Pesantren Darur Robbani Karanggede
type: item
description: Character education represents a cornerstone of Islamic educational philosophy, serving as a fundamental element in cultivating the holistic development of Muslim youth. In Indonesia's pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) tradition, character formation transcends conventional classroom instruction to become an integrated way of life that encompasses spiritual, intellectual, moral, and social dimensions. Character education is an important aspect in shaping the personality of students in the boarding school environment. The Ta'limul Muta'alim book has a central role in developing the character of santri by instilling the values of knowledge, patience, perseverance, and noble morals. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Ta'limul Muta'alim in shaping the character of students at Darur Robbani Karanggede Islamic Boarding School. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection techniques include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research findings show that Ta'limul Muta'alim is applied through formal teaching, daily practice, and examples from kyai and ustaz. Supporting factors include a conducive pesantren environment, practice-based learning methods, and a high level of discipline. However, the challenges faced include the diversity of santri backgrounds and the lack of initial understanding of the book. This study concludes that the implementation of Ta'limul Muta'alim is effective in shaping santri character, especially in the aspects of discipline, ethics, and responsibility. Therefore, it is very important for pesantren to continue to develop adaptive learning strategies to maximize the absorption of the values contained in this book.

The Impact of the Tsaqifa Method on Elderly Qur'an Reading Skills
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the effect of the Tsaqifa method on the Qur'anic reading ability of elderly learners at TPQ Masjid Arofah. The Tsaqifa method is a learning approach designed to enhance fluency and comprehension in reading the Qur'an, particularly among elderly students who may face challenges in learning due to age-related factors. This research employs a quantitative approach using an experimental method. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 16 elderly students as respondents. Data were collected through Qur'anic reading tests and analyzed using validity, reliability, and normality tests, as well as Pearson Product Moment correlation with the aid of SPSS 25.0 software. The results indicate that the research instrument is valid and reliable, with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.863. The data distribution is normal, with a significance value of 0.067 (>0.05). The assessment of the Tsaqifa method shows that 56.25% of students fall into the high category, 31.25% in the moderate category, and 12.5% in the low category. The Qur'anic reading ability of students is also categorized as moderate to high, with a correlation value of r = 0.690, which is higher than the r table value. This confirms a positive and significant effect of the Tsaqifa method on improving the Qur'anic reading skills of elderly learners. The implications of this study suggest that the Tsaqifa method can be used as an effective strategy in Qur'anic learning at TPQ. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for educators in selecting more innovative and effective teaching methods for elderly learners.

The Effectiveness of Al-Islam Kemuhammadiyahan Learning Based on Cooperative Learning in Shaping Students' Religious and Democratic Character at SMK Muhammadiyah 3 Karanganyar
type: item
description: This study aims to: 1) Describe the implementation of Al-Islam Kemuhammadiyahan learning in shaping students' religious and democratic character at SMK Muhammadiyah 3 Karanganyar; and 2) Analyze the application of the Cooperative Learning method in strengthening these characters. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and document analysis to deeply explore the learning process and its impact. Data were then analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research findings reveal that: 1) The Al-Islam Kemuhammadiyahan learning at SMK Muhammadiyah 3 Karanganyar has not yet fully met the three core competencies—attitude, knowledge, and skills—outlined by the Muhammadiyah Central Leadership's Majelis Dikdasmen; 2) The application of the Cooperative Learning model has proven effective in strengthening students’ religious and democratic character; and 3) This model fosters greater student activeness, encourages collaborative learning, and helps students internalize Islamic teachings and democratic principles in their daily behavior. Through Cooperative Learning, students engage more critically and collaboratively, which not only enhances their understanding of religious concepts but also cultivates democratic attitudes such as tolerance, respect, and responsibility. This research contributes to efforts in improving Al-Islam Kemuhammadiyahan learning practices in Muhammadiyah schools.

Renewal of the Soul According to Sheikh Hamza Yusuf (1958-2025)
type: item
description: Education is a fundamental aspect of shaping the human personality as a whole, including the soul, which serves as the center of consciousness and morality.

According to Sheikh Hamza Yusuf, soul renewal encompasses moral, emotional, and social dimensions that are interconnected in shaping a holistic human being. Besides internal obstacles such as egoism and unsupportive environments, the agenda emphasizes practical improvement steps through the implementation of Islamic values such as the pillars of faith and Islam, virtuous character, da'wah, charity, remembrance (dhikr), and empathy.

Tracing the Traces of Culture Acculturation and Islamic Values: Sacred Traditions of the Dukuh Dalam Traditional Village Community in Cikelet Garut
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the Islamic values contained in the traditions of the people of Kampung Adat Dukuh Dalam in Cikelet District, Garut Regency. This study is important because the traditions of indigenous peoples are often considered mere cultural heritage, whereas in the context of Kampung Adat Dukuh Dalam, these traditions are a direct reflection of the Islamic value system integrated in social and spiritual life. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, this research examines the history of Kampung Adat Dukuh Dalam, the variety of traditions that have developed, and the Islamic values contained in the traditions as a guide to life. The results show that the people of Kampung Adat Dukuh Dalam live within the framework of customs sourced from the teachings of Islam brought by Sheikh Abdul Jalil. Islamic values are reflected in the form of daily, monthly, and annual traditions that are full of aqidah, worship, and moral values. In the midst of the swift flow of modernization and external influences, the community is still able to maintain its cultural identity by filtering external influences based on the principles of Islamic teachings. They reject elements that contradict the Shari'ah, and adopt those that are in line through the preservation of traditions, faith-based non-formal education, and the strengthening of communities based on Islamic values.

Islam in Minangkabau from Conflict to Integrity
type: item
description: This article explains how the development of Islam in Minangkabau acculturated with customs, until the emergence of Islamic reformers who had a major influence on the world of education in Minangkabau which previously had a conflict between the tuo and the mudo because of the differences in paradigms between them in understanding and implementing customs and religion. This study aims to determine the process of the entry of Islam and its development until it merged with customs in Minangkabau. This study uses a historical qualitative approach by looking at the social context that occurred in Minangkabau society by looking at library data related to Minangkabau and Islam. The development of Islam in Minangkabau was not as smooth as imagined. Although the Minangkabau people have accepted Islamic teachings as an official religion by looking at the Minangkabau proverb "Adat basandi syarak, syarak basandi kitabullah", there are several customary practices that are not in line with Islamic teachings that give rise to conflict as evidenced by the Paderi War in Minangkabau. In the period after the Padri War, Islamic reformers were born who gave birth to integrity and had a big influence on the Islamic world in Minangkabau, especially in terms of education, which was proven by the birth of many madrasas and made Minangkabau a region that was strong in Islamic teachings, according to sharia.

Raden Ranggawarsita's Correction of the Javanese Islamic Calendar in Serat Widyapradhana
type: item
description: The Javanese Islamic calendar is a cultural heritage passed down from our ancestors that continues to be preserved today. Some communities still use it in their daily lives. However, not everyone pays close attention to the correction system required for its proper use. Ranggawarsita, a prominent figure of the royal court, wrote a manuscript titled Serat Widyapradhana, which offers a detailed explanation of the application of the Javanese Islamic calendar, including how corrections should be made. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to explain how Raden Ranggawarsita addressed the correction system within the Javanese Islamic calendar. Data was collected through library research, using the Serat Widyapradhana manuscript as the main source. A philological approach was applied to help the researcher better understand the text. The study found, first, that the Javanese Islamic calendar was already in use before the reign of Sultan Agung, particularly by Sunan Giri II. Second, Ranggawarsita explained in his writings how corrections should be made to the calendar, especially regarding the 2400-year kurup cycle, to prevent the calendar from falling out of sync. These corrections are essential to maintain harmony between the Islamic Hijri calendar and the Javanese calendar. This research highlights the need for greater awareness and understanding among users of the Javanese Islamic calendar, encouraging deeper engagement with the system and contributing to the broader field of Islamic astronomy, particularly in the study of calendar variations.

Sipahalima in Parmalim Teachings: An Analysis of Local Spiritual Resilience Against the Challenges of Modernization in the City of Medan
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the meaning, function, and dynamics of the Sipaha Lima ritual within the Parmalim belief system in Medan City, as well as the adaptation strategies employed by its community in an urban and modern context. This research is significant because Sipaha Lima is not only a spiritual practice but also a marker of local cultural identity that is vulnerable to marginalization amid globalization and dominant socio-cultural pressures. The study adopts a qualitative approach based on anthropological theory, particularly Victor Turner’s concept of ritual and theories of cultural identity. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with key informants from the Parmalim community, and document analysis. The findings reveal that Sipaha Lima functions as a medium for community unity, internal solidarity, and the transmission of Batak noble values to the younger generation. The Parmalim community also demonstrates creative adaptation efforts through the use of digital technology and openness to interfaith dialogue. The study concludes that the continuation of the Sipaha Lima ritual reflects the cultural and spiritual resilience of the Parmalim community, while also serving as a form of resistance against stigmatization and the erosion of local values. Broader recognition and systematic documentation are necessary to ensure the preservation of this practice within Indonesia’s diverse cultural framework.

Fighting the Pes Plague, Tegal 1927-1935: Living in the Midst of a Health Crisis
type: item
description: This study examines the plague outbreak that struck the Tegal region between 1927 and 1935, focusing on its transmission routes, the response of the colonial government, and the participation of the local community. Employing historical methods comprising heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography this research presents a historical narrative that identifies ports and railway lines as primary factors in the spread of the disease. Unsanitary environmental conditions and the limited number of healthcare personnel further accelerated the outbreak. The colonial government's policies indicate that significant progress in managing the epidemic was achieved after 1934, marked by improved healthcare services and vaccination efforts. This study affirms that the successful containment of the outbreak depended on the integration of public health policies, active community involvement, and adequate infrastructure readiness. This study aims to identify the routes and causes of the spread of the plague in Tegal, as well as the mitigation efforts carried out by the Government at that time. Furthermore, this research is important as a reference for educating healthcare professionals and the general public today about plague outbreaks caused by rat fleas.

type: item
description: This study explores the process of gambling legalization in the city of Semarang during the period from 1970 to 1993.

type: item
description: Modern societies view women as equal to men, especially in government. conversely, societies with traditional stigmas view women as having power only in the domestic sphere. Historically, Javanese women, particularly in the ancient Javanese era, held a strategic position in shaping government policy.

Women in the Shadow of Colonialism: The Existence of Nyai in the Priangan Residency 1870-1900
type: item
description: This article aims to examine the dynamics of nyai life in the Priangan Residency during the Dutch colonial period between 1870 and 1900. The practice of concubinage involving native women and European men reflected gender inequality, economic pressure, and patriarchal colonial power. The term nyai is often associated with issues of morality and social stigma, but in reality they played an important role as a liaison between native and colonial society. This article also explores the legal regulations regarding mixed marriages and the fate of children from concubinage who often experienced social and legal discrimination. This phenomenon illustrates the dilemma of colonial authorities in regulating public morality amidst economic interests and power. This research uses a historical method that includes the stages of heuristics (collecting sources), source criticism (external and internal), interpretation (interpretation of historical meaning), and historiography (writing history). The sources used come from colonial archives, newspapers, Staatsblad, and documentation from institutions such as KITLV and Delpher. Through this approach, the article presents a critical analysis of the role and position of nyai in the socio-economic structure of the colonial Dutch East Indies.

The Concept of Morality-Based Education in Q.S Al-Hujurat: 11-13 with a Comparison of the Interpretations of Ibn Katsir and Al-Misbah
type: item
description: In this era of industrial revolution, there has been a shift in behavior that deviates from the moral values taught in Islam. This situation reflects a moral crisis and decline in morality, largely triggered by the rapid pace of globalization and the development of information technology. Moral education is the appropriate foundation for preventing moral deviation. The Qur'an and Hadith serve as the benchmarks for obtaining knowledge in moral education. This study aims to compare the interpretations of Ibn Kathir and Al-Misbah to provide an in-depth analysis of the ideas regarding moral teachings in QS. Al-Hujurat verses 11-13. A qualitative approach and literature review research techniques are combined in this study. Content analysis is the data analysis method used. The Tahlili interpretive approach is employed for data analysis. Comparative analysis is the data analysis method used in this study. The results of this study indicate that QS. Al-Hujurat: 11-13 contains basic moral education principles for humans, namely respecting and honoring others, avoiding mockery, having good intentions, and not gossiping. These are basic moral education principles and can be applied to fellow Muslims or people of other faiths. Universally, this verse emphasizes the importance of guarding one's speech and actions toward everyone.

Uang Pannai in the Bugis Marriage Custom: Islamic Legal Perspective on Local Traditions
type: item
description: This research aims to analyze the practice of uang pannai in Bugis marriage customs and examine the perspective of Islamic law on this local tradition. This research is important because the escalation of the value of the “uang pannai“ has created an economic burden that prevents young couples from marrying, resulting in a shift from the original philosophical meaning of the tradition that emphasizes honor and reward. This phenomenon requires harmonization between local cultural practices and Islamic values in the context of a multicultural society. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive-analytical approach through literature studies, using primary data from the Quran, hadith, and classical and contemporary fiqh literature, as well as secondary data from relevant books, scientific journals, and previous research. The results of the study show that uang pannai ' has a deep social meaning in the Bugis society as a symbol of honor, an instrument of social status affirmation, and a medium for family unification. From the perspective of Islamic law, this tradition is acceptable as long as it does not conflict with sharia principles, especially when evaluated through the framework of sharia maqasid. The research concludes that the harmonization between the tradition of uang panai' and Islamic values can be achieved through moderation in the determination of amounts, emphasis on symbolic meaning, and integration with dowry, so that cultural heritage is maintained while maintaining conformity with Islamic teachings.

A Comparative Study of Skepticism Towards Triumph in the Search for Truth Imam Al-Ghazali in Al-Munqidz min Al-Dhalal and Sophie in Sophie's World
type: item
description: This study aims to compare the dynamics of the search for truth experienced by Imam al-Ghazali in his autobiographical work Al-Munqidh min al-Dhalal and the fictional character Sophie in Jostein Gaarder’s novel Sophie's World. The theme of the search for truth is significant as it reflects the intellectual and spiritual struggles of human beings across time and cultures, offering deep reflections on the crisis of meaning often found in modern life. Using a qualitative approach and content analysis method, this research examines the stages both figures undergo—facing skepticism, engaging in critical reflection, and ultimately attaining philosophical and spiritual conviction. Imam al-Ghazali experienced an epistemological crisis that led him to the path of Sufism as a means of achieving certainty, while Sophie embarks on a rational journey through philosophical dialogues toward existential understanding. The findings show that, despite originating from different historical and intellectual traditions, both figures follow a similar pattern in their quest for truth: intellectual unrest, distrust of external authority, pursuit of independent thinking, and the eventual discovery of a personal and transformative form of belief. These findings highlight the importance of dialogue between Eastern spiritual traditions and Western philosophy in understanding the dynamics of truth-seeking in today’s global and contemporary context.
