    “Fiqh peradaban” the religio-political developments of Nahdlatul Ulama in contemporary Indonesia
    (Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2024) Muhammad Yaufi Nur Mutiullah; Yanwar Pribadi
    This study explores the religio-political development of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in contemporary Indonesia, focusing on the leadership era of Yahya Cholil Staquf (Gus Yahya). NU, as the largest Islamic organization in the world, with more than 60 million followers in Indonesia and 30 million worldwide, plays a significant role in harmonizing Islamic teachings with modern socio-political challenges through the concept of Fiqh Peradaban. This study uses an interdisciplinary approach that integrates the interpretation of Islamic legal theory (usūl al-fiqh), Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), and social science analysis. The research methods include literature study and fieldwork, including interviews with important NU figures as well as analysis of related literature. The findings of this study show that NU in the Gus Yahya era, with the concept of Fiqh Peradaban, had a mission to bring a religious paradigm capable of addressing global issues. Fiqh Peradaban seeks to discuss actual issues relevant to the international context, such as the United Nation (UN) Charter and human rights, which are often overlooked in classical fiqh discourse. Additionally, this study found that NU's civilizational mission did not eliminate the characteristics of NU's traditionalist thinking, which still maintains the study of the yellow book (kitab kuning). This study argues that NU in the Gus Yahya era was different from previous leadership eras, which tended to focus on local and national issues. The concept of Fiqh Peradaban allows NU to play a more active role in global diplomacy without sacrificing its traditionalist principles. From a political perspective, this study also shows that NU's civilizing mission in the Gus Yahya era maintained the central role of the government, even though NU's close relationship with the government could give rise to internal conflict within NU itself.

    Intertwining Beauty and Piety: Cosmetics, Beauty Treatments, and Ḥalāl Lifestyle in Urban Indonesia
    (Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Mataram, 2023-06-12) Yanwar Pribadi; Muhammad Adlin Sila
    This article discusses the intertwinement of beauty and piety among middle-class Muslim women in urban Indonesia through the use of cosmetics and beauty treatments within the broader trends of ḥalāl lifestyle. It uses an anthropological approach with case studies in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, and Serang, the capital city of Banten Province. Jakarta and Serang were chosen because Jakarta is a picture-perfect example of an older area characterized by the abundance of middle-class Muslims and the vehemence of ḥalāl lifestyle, while Serang represents a newer area in this regard. Moreover, this article explores the understanding and practices of religious rituals, as well as the responses of urban middle-class Muslim women towards commodified goods and services, consumerism behavior, and communal piety. We argue that the use of cosmetics and beauty treatments has become one of the most glaring public expressions that has concurrently influenced the way urban middle-class Muslim women perceive themselves, beauty, and piety. In addition, we contend that the understanding and practices of beauty and piety are becoming increasingly complex in urban areas. Finally, we maintain that ḥalāl lifestyle has played an important role in strengthening Islamic identity in contemporary Indonesia.

    Negotiating Islamic identity among urban middle-class Muslims : cases from Islamic private tutoring institutions in Jakarta, Indonesia
    (Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2023) Alviani Rachma; Yanwar Pribadi
    This study delves into the intricate religious identity challenges faced by urban middle-class Muslims as they navigate their roles as modern Muslims. The increasing prevalence of secularism as the impact of modernity, Islamism phenomena in the urban city, and Islamic revivalism's impacts offers educated Muslims an opportunity to establish non-formal Islamic education platforms in the form of Islamic private tutoring institutions through intellectual discourse, aiming to influence urban middle-class Muslim families in shaping their children's Islamic identity. To achieve its objectives, this study employs Brekhus concepts of "marked identity" and "unmarked identity". It demonstrates how the marked identity group can exert influence over the unmarked identity group under certain circumstances. Employing qualitative research methods and socio-political approaches, this investigation conducts in-depth interviews and close observation of two prominent non-formal Islamic education namely Alif iqra and Igralabs both located in Jakarta. This study argues that Islamic private tutoring institutions as non- formal Islamic education have a role in shaping urban middle-class Muslims' Islamic identity amid modernity. The ability of educated Muslims to revive Islamic knowledge in a modern way provides a complete picture of Islam which attracted urban middle-class Muslim families. This process not only fosters a sense of modern Muslim identity but also instills a moderate Islamic identity aligned with the values of the Qur'an and Sunnah. It sheds light on the complexities of Muslim dilemmas in shaping their distinct religious identity.

    Port security and preman organizations in Indonesia
    (Taylor and Francis, 2024-10-09) Yanwar Pribadi
    Strongmen have long been widely associated with bandits, violent entrepreneurs or revolutionaries. Such strongmen should be differentiated from the strongmen of politics. The latter are defined as political leaders who rule by repression and exercise an authoritarian administration, while the former are defined as gangsters who benefit from local insecurities to obtain an occupation, build their reputation and accumulate social and political influence when they become involved in politics. In the case of Indonesia, there have already been several significant works on these stereotypically sturdy and muscular people, who have been represented as bandits (Suhartono Citation1995), village leaders (Onghokham Citation1978), rebels (Cribb Citation1991), local heroes, powerbrokers and criminals (Schulte Nordholt Citation1991). Preman, Indonesian contemporary free men (Dutch: vrije mannen), stand in between a blurred line of strongmen and violent groups. Preman (thug) was originally used to refer to irregular or demobilized soldiers; later, the term came to mean bandit and then gangster.

    The negotiation strategy of transnational Islamic networks : the case of Jama’ah Tabligh in Indonesian pesantren
    (Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2024) Nadia Rizky Fauziah; Yanwar Pribadi
    This thesis examines the negotiation and adaptation carried out by Jama'ah Tabligh as one of the transnational movements present in Indonesia. In contrast to other more general studies, this study focuses on the negotiations and adaptations carried out by Jama'ah Tabligh in the pesantren. It should be noted that since the mid to late 20th century, Jama'ah Tabligh, present in Indonesia, has brought major changes in the culture of Indonesian pesantren. They have collaborated their transnational ideas and internalized them into Indonesian pesantren. This change has even led to rapid development, with a shift in the orientation of the pesantren becoming a “Pesantren Tabligh” that has established almost 300 branches throughout Indonesia. Pesantren Tabligh has taken a significant role in the spread of Jama'ah Tabligh and its mobilization in various regions in Indonesia. This research shows the negotiation and adaptation carried out by the Jama’ah Tabligh through the institution of pesantren as one of the ways to spread and mobilize their dakwah. This research uses Quintan Wicktorowicz's resource mobilization theory, which states that the key to a social movement mobilization lies in emphasizing the type of formal organization, accommodating the role of informal institutions and social networks, and diagnostic framing. In practice, this research is qualitative field research with the sample of Pesantren Al-Fatah as one of the largest Pesantren Tabligh in Southeast Asia and Pesantren Darus Sunnah as a branch pesantren of al-Fatah. This research was conducted from February to June through interviews, discourse analysis based on the history of Pesantren Al-Fatah books, content analysis, and documentation. Interviews were conducted with 14 participants, consisting of the leaders of both male and female pesantren, three teachers, one radio staff, and several santri. This study argues that Jama’ah Tabligh has various strategies to negotiate and adapt to the context of Indonesian society today with the rise of Tabligh Pesantren. This study found that Jama'ah Tabligh has negotiated its strategy through the institution of pesantren by building student teams as an innovation in the spread of da'wah. They also established branch pesantren as a cadre base that serves as a strategic center to train Jama’ah Tabligh members and alums to establish branch pesantren. These pesantren utilize their social networks to spread the values of Jama'ah Tabligh as a more effective strategy for member regeneration. They also use modern communication advances such as Radio Trangkil FM to broadcast their ideas widely. On top of that, this study also shows a shift in the apolitical claims of Jama’ah Tabligh, especially those in pesantren, due to the political tradition in Indonesia that makes pesantren a warehouse for patronage activities.
