https://journal.uinjkt.ac.id/index.php/studia-islamika/article/view/33741
Muhammadiyah advocates for the equal and rational standing of Muslims, underscoring that judgment lies solely with Allah and discouraging hierarchical leadership privileges. This viewpoint permeates its organizational structure, portraying leaders as dedicated members without elevated status. Alongside its emphasis on egalitarianism and rationality, Muhammadiyah has developed organizational mechanisms, aimed at preventing the concentration of religious authority in the hands of popular leaders. The article explores two of these mechanisms, collegial leadership and elections. Collegial leadership establishes a collective oversight body, ensuring equal rights for each leader. The unique election system, requiring the choice of thirteen candidates, prevents individual dominance and a potential landslide victory. By minimizing differences, emphasizing similarities, and discouraging the showcasing of individual merits and popularity, these mechanisms effectively diffuse religious authority within Muhammadiyah’s leadership.Hyung-Jun Kim

2023-12-272023-12-2730221123410.36712/sdi.v30i2.33741An Overview On Ottoman Manuscript Collection in the Sayyid Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas Library
https://journal.uinjkt.ac.id/index.php/studia-islamika/article/view/32019
This paper endeavors to give a quick view of the Ottoman manuscript (Osmanlı elyazmaları) collection at Sayyid Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas Library (SMNAL) of the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ISTAC) International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) by reviewing a published catalog. The Ottoman manuscripts, which mean texts written in the Ottoman Turkish language, were collected during the first part of the 1990s, inventoried, and cataloged during the early period of ISTAC. The collection possesses two hundred manuscripts on diverse subjects. This makes the SMNAL the most pertinent library in Southeast Asia, a place hoard of Ottoman Turkish manuscripts. This initiation of acquiring a certain number of Ottoman manuscripts by Sayyid Muhammad Naquib al-Attas which seems to have been purchased in the late decades of the twentieth century is no doubt an opening towards the path to the study of the Ottoman civilizational and intellectual eco-system among the Malay scholars and students of the Ottoman studies (Turcologists).Mehmet Özay

2023-12-272023-12-2730223526010.36712/sdi.v30i2.32019The Rise of Cinematic Santri in Post-Authoritarian Indonesia: Figure, Field and the Competing Discourse
https://journal.uinjkt.ac.id/index.php/studia-islamika/article/view/16432
This article examines the past decade’s cinematic rise among young pious Muslims (<em>santri</em>) affiliated with Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Indonesia’s largest traditionalist Muslim group. It focuses on the social actors, the fields of cultural production, and the competing discourse central to this rise. Its main argument frames the <em>santri</em>’s turn to cinema as symbolic of various changes and continuities in multiple sectors of NU society’s life. It then situates the fields and discourses of the <em>santri</em>’s cinematic practices in the broader set of power relations, consisting of different, at times conflicting, identities and interests that come with being pious Muslims in public domains. To the extent that the efficacy of filmmaking practices and technologies has enhanced the rivalrous inclination of Islam in the post-Suharto Indonesian public sphere, the article offers an insight into the relationship between image-making practices and the politics of representation in a Southeast Asian Islam context.Ahmad Nuril Huda

https://journal.uinjkt.ac.id/index.php/studia-islamika/article/view/22386
The early twentieth century served as a dynamic age for various modern movement intellectuals. The steamboat discovery enabled people to rush from one place to another, allowing a more active exchange of ideas and insights. Sutomo was a Javanese intellectual playing an essential role in Indonesia’s modern history. In 1936-1937 he travelled around the world and visited several countries, one of which was Turkey. This article discussed Sutomo’s views on modernization processes taking place in Turkey. This study employed a historical method by using articles from Soeara Oemoem’s newspaper from 1936-1937. That newspaper elaborately described Sutomo’s journey while he was in Turkey. In this article, we argued that social and economic situations influenced Sutomo’s views on Turkey’s modernization in the Dutch East Indies. His experiences abroad influenced his further involvement in the discourse of Indonesian secular and Islamic nationalism.Yon MachmudiFrial Ramadhan Supratman

https://journal.uinjkt.ac.id/index.php/studia-islamika/article/view/25175
The ecofeminism movement in Indonesia is generally territorial and intersectional but tends to be secular. This study shows the emergence of ecofeminism ideas integrated with Islamic values in the form of <em>pesantren</em>. Unlike other ecofeminisms—which were generally born as a response to women and environmental issues an sich, <em>pesantren </em>ecofeminism was an effort to rise from the mental-class and economic-class trauma of peasant society. I used a subsistence perspective, which led me to the Pesantren Ekologi Ath-Thaariq in Garut, West Java, Indonesia. I combined Harvard and Longwe frameworks to analyze pesantren’s activity, access, control, and equivalence level. This article contains the pesantren ecofeminism concept in viewing the environment through faith, local wisdom, and piety. This study further examines the ability of <em>pesantren</em> to break unequal power relations between humans and between humans and non-humans, instead of continuing the patriarchal tradition and its <em>kiai</em>-centric system.Mardian Sulistyati

https://journal.uinjkt.ac.id/index.php/studia-islamika/article/view/32763
This article challenges the claims that assert that Indonesian Muslims are fundamentally conservative, if not fundamentalist, in nature. The discussion is grounded in a case study of peaceful coexistence between the Muslim Minang Community (KMM) and the Christian Nias Community (KKN) over several centuries in Padang Pariaman. To obtain this perspective, this study centres on evidence from customary land agreements between the two communities, reinforced by observations and interviews with traditional and religious figures from both communities between 2017 and 2018. Among the most significant findings is that KMM has developed a concept of land management rights (<em>ulayat nagari</em>) that differs from state-controlled management. The management of ulayat nagari land not only places emphasis on economic access but also opens up various social and even religious concessions. Through the concessions of 1927 and 1928, KKN gained rights to the ownership of <em>ulayat nagari</em> land, recognition of their village head (<em>penghulu</em>), and adherence to the customs of KKN. Furthermore, two KKN churches stand on this <em>ulayat nagari</em> land as symbols of religious freedom.Andri AshadiSefriyono Sefriyono

<p>Ismail Hakki Kadi and A.C.S. Peacock (eds.). 2022. <em>Ottoman-Southeast Asia Relations</em>, 2 vols. Leiden and Boston: Brill</p><p>The glorification of the Ottoman Empire, often legitimized by specific Muslim groups in Indonesia in the past two decades, has frequently steered toward myth-building rather than the advancement of knowledge through historical sources. This book represents an endeavour to present comprehensive data on the relationship between Southeast Asia and the Ottoman Empire through research centred on the theme of “Islam, Trade and Politics across the Indian Ocean” during the years 2009-2011, with a focus on the archives of the Turkish Presidential Archives in Istanbul. The book unveils crucial puzzles in the history of Islam in Southeast Asia concerning diplomatic relations with the Islamic superpower, encompassing the period from the early encounters with Western powers and continuing into the Colonial Era. In addition to examining primary sources of diplomatic relations between the kingdoms of Aceh, Kedah, Riau, Jambi, and Brunei with the Ottoman Empire, this book also reveals the political, economic, and socio-religious dynamics as they unfolded in Batavia, Singapore, and the Philippines.</p>Jajat Burhanudin

https://journal.uinjkt.ac.id/index.php/studia-islamika/article/view/36297
<p>The COVID-19 pandemic, from early 2020, compelled rigorous border restrictions among nations. Travel between countries became virtually impossible to curb the virus's rampant spread. All plans involving face-to-face human interactions had to be abandoned except for essential pandemic-related activities. Consequently, the scheduled leaders' visits from Indonesian Islamic boarding schools (<em>pesantren</em>) to Japan during this period had to be withdrawn as well.</p><p>This annual event, initiated in 2004 through collaboration between the Center for the Study of Islam and Society (PPIM) at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University of Jakarta and the Government of Japan, aims primarily to enhance understanding and cultivate friendship between Japan and Indonesia, particularly among the Muslim community. Over nearly two decades, this program facilitated the participation of 157 leaders (<em>kiai</em> and <em>nyai</em>) from diverse regions in Indonesia, enabling them to observe contemporary developments in Japanese society while exchanging insights into the characteristics of Indonesia's Muslim community with the local people. Domestically, this initiative also desired to strengthen networks among pesantrens.</p>Muhammad Nida' Fadlan
