It is a shocking health issue and generates other economic and societal problems. With its many citizens, Indonesia faces limitations in dealing with this pandemic. The research was initiated due to global COVID-19, which affects Indonesia economically and socially. They utilized local wisdom to support religious minorities via humanitarian efforts. This research explores the charitable and philanthropic efforts of minority religious communities such as Ahmadiyah, Shia, Baha'i, and Sapta Dharma in Yogyakarta, which often face negative perceptions in Indonesia. This study uses qualitative methods to illustrate how minority religious groups participate in helping others in responding to the pandemic. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, Focused Group Discussions, and documentation. The results showed that minority religious groups in Indonesia have the initiative and actively participate in assisting needy people around them as their responsibility as Indonesian citizens, despite the discrimination and hostility they face because of their beliefs. Philanthropic motivations based on religious values, universal humanity, and moral responsibility as a religious group can be viewed as local wisdom. The existence of cultural views in Indonesia for help and mutual assistance makes aid acceptable as a form of brotherhood, which is inversely proportional to the theological rejection of the group.","PeriodicalId":277667,"journal":{"name":"IBDA` : Jurnal Kajian Islam dan Budaya","volume":"94 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140670110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study’s focus is the Kerinci Regency in Jambi, Indonesia, and it looks at how identity politics and diversity are positioned within the larger Indonesian framework. The research selectively chooses informants, such as the FKUB, the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu), traditional leaders, and religious figures, using qualitative methods like observation, interviews, and document examination. Results show that a variety of political identification patterns exist across the country according to societal culture, resources, and sociopolitical circumstances. As a result, the FKUB responds with a variety of strategies and tactics. The study also emphasizes how the discourse-centric perspective on multiculturalism hinders its ability to effectively counter identity politics. The research points up difficulties that stand in the way of achieving diversity, such as the consolidation and contestation of identity within Islam. Interfaith conflicts, however, show a downward trend and provide a more nuanced picture of the intricate relationship between identity politics and multiculturalism in Indonesia at the local level.","PeriodicalId":277667,"journal":{"name":"IBDA` : Jurnal Kajian Islam dan Budaya","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139328906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research method used was field research focusing on the Lekuk Lima Puluh Tumbi Lempur community, Jambi, Indonesia. The data obtained were analyzed and studied with Islamic law. The findings first show that the forced marriage occurs when a man and a woman return to the village after a late night. Second, factors behind these customary sanctions include religious, social and customary ones. Third, the impact of these customary sanctions is the occurrence of underage marriage and the resultant divorce. Fourthly, the marriage is contrary to Islamic law, because it involves coercion, even though the pillars of marriage are fulfilled, but the conditions of marriage are not fulfilled, so the law of marriage becomes fasid (broken). Therefore, as a consideration, if the sanction of forced marriage is carried out without regard to the cause, whether chronological or consensual, and age, but only based on customary coercion, then the customary sanction can cause more significant harm than benefit, so the custom must be abandoned.","PeriodicalId":277667,"journal":{"name":"IBDA` : Jurnal Kajian Islam dan Budaya","volume":"28 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132610978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tradition of mengaji, or learning the Qur’an, has been impacted by globalization and modernization. Still, new methods such as online learning and fun-learning techniques have emerged to make the tradition more innovative and creative for children. This article discusses how modernization changes the way of learning activities in reading al-Quran for children (mengaji) in urban areas. Their tradition of going to the TPA/TPQ (Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur’an) shifted to the modern way. It taught Muslims to live alongside digital technology and an internet connection following current conditions. Following the new opportunity to learn Qur’an intensively for children, private Islamic institutions attract some urban muslim families to teach their children Qur’anic reading, such as Binar Qur’an institution. The analysis is conducted by descriptive qualitative research, which is stated by the respondents verbally and in real behavior. The data is obtained through reduction data, explaining data, and drawing a conclusion. Research shows that the impact of modernization forces people to educate their children on Qur’anic reading. It shows that the situation helps the Muslim family to be modern regarding Islamic education. Moreover, the hard struggle of parents to preserve their children in the Islamic path of society is by busying their children with positive activities such as mengaji to fulfill their growth with the Islamic nuance and to produce a better Muslim generation in the future.","PeriodicalId":277667,"journal":{"name":"IBDA` : Jurnal Kajian Islam dan Budaya","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131322251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Practising local spirituality rooted in an indigenous belief, tatali paranti karuhun, while administratively accepting Islam, the people have been struggling to deal with the nearby majority Sundanese who practices Islam and the establishment of the national park covering their living space. The study considers whether a minority group living in an area endowed with both natural and cultural tourism resources consciously chooses tourism as a selected ground to deal with policies which neglect them in terms of religious practices and land policy. Employing the ethnographic method, the study reveals that contesting identity in tourism also means the readiness to accommodate various outside elements. However, the strategy has led the Halimun Salak National Park authority to declare the area as a “special status area” for cultural tourism inside the state park since 2017. The study findings show that after engaging with tourism, various rituals and art performances rooted in the old Sundanese spirituality, which is not officially recognized by the state, can be freely performed for the sake of tourists. In this case, the community is not passive in dealing with external forces but has also enabled its own silent productivity, including its varying consequences.","PeriodicalId":277667,"journal":{"name":"IBDA` : Jurnal Kajian Islam dan Budaya","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126394143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
