A compelling account of the struggle for the soul of Indonesian Islam.
Leading scholars discuss how 'Islam' and 'liberalism' have been entwined historically and politically and how Muslims have thought about this longstanding relationship.
Indonesia has been home to some of the most vibrant and complex developments in modern Islamic thought anywhere in the world. Nevertheless little is known or understood about these developments outside South East Asia. By considering the work of the leading Indonesian thinkers of the twentieth century, Michael Feener, an intellectual authority in the area, offers a cogent critique of this diverse and extensive literature and sheds light on the contemporary debates and the dynamics of Islamic reform. The book highlights the openness to, and creative manipulation of, diverse strands of international thought that have come to define Islamic intellectualism in modern Indonesia. This is an accessible and interpretive overview of the religious and social thought of the world's largest Muslim majority nation. As such it will be read by scholars of Islamic law and society, South East Asian studies and comparative law and jurisprudence.
Issues on social problems, human rights, women, and democracy from Islamic perspectives.
While many books have probed the role of Islam in political and social change in Southeast Asia over the past three decades, few have focused on the power of the religious discourse itself in shaping this transformation. Contemporary Islamic Discourse in the Malay–Indonesian World captures the interplay between religion and social thought in comparative case studies from Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Drawing on a critical sociology of knowledge and a profound understanding of historical contexts, the central focus is on Muslim intellectuals who have grappled with the impact of modernity in these societies, between those seeking to reform Islam’s role and those who take a hardline de...

Buku ini melewati semula agenda pembaharuan dengan menelesuri tradisi yang tercerah, yang tersudut dalam sejarah serta harus dapat dikembalikan peranannya tanpa pula kita terjebak meromantiskannya, yang mengidamkan pulang ke tradisi semata-mata sebagai jalan keluar dari segala kemelut dan permasalahan yang kita hadapi. Pembaharuan akan bisa berakar sekiranya tampil di kalangan agamawan dan aktivis-santri yang bukan sahaja teryakin dari gagasan reformis, tetapi juga datang dari sekelompok tradisionalis yang tercerah. Yang terakhir ini dapat membedakan peranan tradisi yang dinamis sifatnya, sebagai gerak nilai dan budaya yang mampu menawarkan nilai-nilai ulung dan universal sepanjang perjalana...
Muhammadiyah, together with the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), are seen as the two pillars of moderate Islam in Indonesia. Muhammadiyah is currently often perceived to be the more conservative of the two and to have more affinity with Islamist groups. On political issues, for instance, it is steered by Islamist imagery. On cultural issues, Muhammadiyah is often guided by old enmity towards what is called the TBC (takhayul, bid’ah dan churafat; delusions, religious innovation without precedence in the Prophetic traditions and the Qur’an, and superstitions or irrational belief). This position has placed Muhammadiyah in an uneasy relationship with both local cultures and traditionalist Islam. Three ...
