The pandemic has raised not only questions about health but also worship. Employing a qualitative approach that combined textual and fieldwork research, this study seeks to explain the historical literacy of Gen Z Muslims about the pandemic. It also explores the ways in which they respond to the diversity in Muslim worship practices during the pandemic and the extent to which their involvement increases their Islamic historical literacy. The study was carried out in Surabaya, involving several data collection methods, such as interviews, focused group discussions, and surveys. The study reveals that the historical literacy of Gen Z Muslims fell short of expectations. Furthermore, with regards to the impact of the pandemic on the adjustment of worship practices among Muslims in their community, Gen Z Muslims are divided into three groups: affirmative, negative, and ignorant. This study also shows that Gen Z Muslims have yet to be connected intensely with community networks that allow them to participate in and improve their historical literacy.","PeriodicalId":55654,"journal":{"name":"Ulumuna","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46419820","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}

First, how is the typology of urban Sufism practised by the Kopiah community in Jayapura city? Second, what is the strategy for strengthening Sufism among the Kopiah community in Jayapura city? This paper is the result of qualitative research using a case study technique. There are two sources: interviews and records in the form of films, images, and papers relating to the Kopiah community’s activities. According to this article, the Kopiah community practises urban Sufism in the form of tazkiyyat al-nafs. The tazkiyat al-nafs rite, on the other hand, has been innovatively and contextually changed. 1) Kopiah is a hijra community that follows an urban Sufi typology that is not linked formally with any Sufi sect and is more oriented to tazkiyat al-nafs. The Kopiah community, however, seems to be associated with the Alawiyah Order, based on the remembrance that is recited, because its members adopt the Ratib al-Haddad. 2) Tazkiyat al-nafs rituals in assembly with a loud voice; studying the Qur’an and fiqh; Islamic teachings via dialogues titled “Ngopi” (Ngobrol Perkara Iman/Talking about Faith) and “Ngobat” (Ngobrol Perkara Taubat/Talking about Repentance). This essay helps to the mapping and preliminary understanding of urban Sufism in eastern Indonesia, particularly in Jayapura.","PeriodicalId":55654,"journal":{"name":"Ulumuna","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67536535","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}

In this country, Muslim scholars tend to neglect the study of ideas, significantly developed in the 1990s. Through a bibliographical study of the works of Isaiah Berlin, this article presents the intellectual foundations of Berlin in reconstructing philosophical concepts.

The research subjects were selected by purposive sampling, and the data were analyzed using a descriptive approach. The research results found that the interfaith harmony in the province of Aceh is well and peacefully established. There are five strategies for realizing harmony: tolerance, equality, cooperation, mutual respect, and communication. This study also revealed that FKUB has carried out its role optimally in creating interfaith harmony in Aceh.

However, ‘Ummah’ as an euphemism for state-centered political aspirations become endemic to them only in the last century. This tendency could be linked to literal scriptural interpretations, contempt for the technocratic and mystic traditions and the idea of sacred-geographies pushed inward by reformist movements since 1920s, which disjuncts with classical hermeneutic traditions followed by Keralite Ulama by their distinctive longue-durée to mainstream Muslims lands. Recently through a revivalist campaign, the traditional Ulama refurnished their monolithic concept of Ummah by reimagining and re-appropriating those sacred imaginaries from the puritanical-Islamist claim of the pure. An embedded Ummah locality – a mixture of local products and global variants – thus piggybacked on the structural and cultural forces of globalization, allowing Ulama to prudently redraw the boundaries of national culture and its ally, local Islam. Through this paper, I try to explicate how traditional Muslim scholarship in Kerala employed Quranic Ummah in the plural society while structurally re-embedding it with the global Muslim whole. A short reflection on the interpretive paradigm of puritanical-Islamist orientations on the concept of Ummah will be given along to place various paradigms in a comparative framework.","PeriodicalId":55654,"journal":{"name":"Ulumuna","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46216763","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}

This paper utilizes the concept of communal tolerance developed by Jeremy Menchik to analyze how intolerance is still inherent in amongst the majority groups.

Based on the theory of structural functionalism by Talcott Parsons, this phenomenological study analyses the structure of society and the interrelationships of various structures seen to be mutually supportive of dynamic equilibrium. This theory focuses on how good order is maintained among various elements of society. This study shows Sayyid Ahmad uses social da’wah approach by establishing economic harmonization, building educational institutions to teach tolerance values, constructing mosques by different religious adherents to realize the meaning of tolerance, and completing the mosque with good facilities and infrastructure. He also teaches the pillars of tolerance and harmony among religious communities by serving and helping each other, giving justice to anyone, and respecting other religions.","PeriodicalId":55654,"journal":{"name":"Ulumuna","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46929981","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}

Several texts have been identified to be taught in various madrasahs and at times local community prayer halls called “surau” in teaching credal belief to the religious students and public. A total of three main texts had been identified as being the most popular in the teaching of credal belief to the masses. Credal belief as it is sanctioned by the country’s religious establishment is the Asha’irah school which is part of the broad Ahlussunnah wal Jamaah belief system in Islam. The texts chosen are the popular texts used in teaching aqidah in the madrasah and mosques in the country. They are al-Durr al-Thamin (1232/1817), Aqidatun Najin fi ilmi usul al-Din (1308/1891) and Faridatul Fara’id (1313/1895). The relation between God and His creatures as depicted in the texts here would be exposed and analysed.
