The making of living ḥadīth : a new direction of ḥadīth studies in Indonesia
(Routledge, 2024-04-21) Saifuddin Zuhri Qudsy; Irwan Abdullah; Hasse Jubba; Zaenuddin Hudi Prasojo; Egi Tanadi Taufik
Ḥadīth studies identifies Islamic practices that originate from the text of the ḥadīths or the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad. The term ‘living ḥadīth’ has emerged as a new direction to ḥadīth studies. This article seeks to explore the dynamics of living ḥadīths as they have emerged in and revitalised ḥadīth studies, especially within academic discourse of Indonesian Islamic universities. Important findings include that the living ḥadīth has become a subdiscipline of ḥadīth studies that examines on how Muslims interpret and express the ḥadīths in their daily lives, as well as how Indonesian Muslims link, communicate, and relate ḥadīths to local traditions and how local cultures assimilate and interact with the texts. This article also finds that the paradigm of living ḥadīth differs from the disciplines of sociology and anthropology of religion, presenting its epistemology through five areas of focus: practice, reception, text, transmission, and transformation.
Analyzing the market conditions and long-term dynamics in the biodiesel industry
(Taylor & Francis, 2024-07-02) Muhammad, Mansur; Herbert Wibert Victor Hasudungan
The Indonesian energy industry is working towards achieving net zero emissions by reducing energy composition between renewables and non-renewables. Based on this background, this study investigates the biodiesel market conditions and its long-term sustainability using monthly data from January 2014 to October 2023. The study applies the 3SLS, Johansen and bound test approach to cointegration for estimations. Findings from the study show that demand for biodiesel in Indonesia is price inelastic, which implies that the response of demand on small price changes is high due to the availability of substitute products. The Walrasian coefficient is negative and statistically significant, suggesting a partial disequilibrium in the biodiesel market. Furthermore, the blending mandatory of biodiesel is found to be sustainable in the long run as shown by the bound f-statistics and Johansens’ trace statistics. The increasing prices of crude palm oil, catalysts, methanol, and glycerin have a devastating effect on biodiesel production. Exchange rate depreciation is also a negative function of biodiesel production. These findings are crucial for industry stakeholders and policymakers to make informed decisions about resource allocation, cost management, and strategies to enhance the sustainability and efficiency of biodiesel production processes.
Regrounding maqāṣid al-sharīʿa, the quranic semantics and foundation of human common good, written by Mohamed El-Tahir El-Mesawi
(Brill, 2025-01-15) al-Marakeby, Muhammad
Each year, a vast amount of literature is published on maqāṣid al-Sharīʿa. However, only a few of these works stand out as serious and thoughtprovoking. One such work is the book we are reviewing: Regrounding Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿa, the Quranic Semantics and Foundation of Human Common Good, authored by Mohamed El-Tahir El-Mesawi with Waleed Fekry Faris and Dawood A. Yahya al-Hidabi. The book’s main body spans 208 pages and is divided into three main chapters preceded by an introduction and followed by a conclusion. The first chapter examines the preservation of religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn) and progeny (ḥifẓ al-nasl), the second focuses on the preservation of life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), and the third explores the preservation of the mind (ḥifẓ al-ʿaql) and wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl). This book can be situated within the ongoing debate on the ambiguity surrounding the interpretation of maqāṣid in modern times and its occasional (mis)use to justify contradictory positions within the framework of Sharīʿa. It takes an important step toward re-establishing a connection between maqāṣid and Qurʾānic terminology by conducting a semantic analysis of the Qurʾān to (re)define maqāṣid. The authors argue that early scholars have largely overlooked this critical link, making their efforts both timely and essential. The central question posed by the book is: What might the five maqāṣid mean if interpreted through the conceptual framework of the Qurʾān?
Indonesian literacy teachers’ efforts to integrate children’s literature in literacy classrooms
(Springer, 2023-12-30) Tati Lathipatud Durriyah; Firman Parlindungan; Sofe Dewayani; Sary Silvhiany; Amos, Yukari
Literacy is now an essential part of teaching for Indonesian teachers. This qualitative case study reports on three Indonesian teachers as they integrate the use of children’s literature into their literacy instruction. For 4 months, the teachers’ eforts to use children’s literature were documented through multiple sources such as focus group discussions and interviews, teachers’ refections, and classroom observational notes. The study uses the reader-response theory framework, especially the notion of teachers as part of the learning context in promoting students’ engagement with a text. The study highlighted some case study teachers’ classroom practices centering on children’s literature, giving access to books, infusing children’s literature in teaching, and using books to discuss difcult topics with students. The fndings discussion sheds light on some contributing factors to the teachers’ decision to integrate children’s literature into their classrooms and how they could make such decisions. The discussion points to a larger picture of how these teachers were empowered to make decisions to integrate children’s literature, particularly with diverse themes
The intersection between Islamic populism and radicalism in Indonesia : the rise and fall of aksi bela Islam movement
(Routledge, 2024-01-08) A’an Suryana
This article discusses the role of radical Islamist groups – the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), and the Salafis - in spearheading the populist Islamist 212 Movement. It examines why they were such effective forces in leading the movement and why their role diminished over time, which contributed to the decline of the movement. Drawing on political process theory and the literature on populism, this article argues that the movement faltered because they could no longer play an instrumental role due to the unsupportive structure of political opportunities, disorganized social movement, less relevant framing, and greater social and political pressure to the social movement.
