This book provides a comprehensive survey of Qur’an translation in Indonesia – the most populous Muslim-majority country in the world with a highly diverse, multilingual society. Delving into the linguistic and political dimensions of this field, the contributors – many of whom are Indonesian scholars – employ a wide range of historical, socio-cultural, linguistic and exegetical approaches to offer fresh insights. In their contributions, the negotiation of authority between state and of non-state actors is shown to be a constant theme, from the pre-print era through to the colonial and postcolonial periods. Religious organizations, traditional institutions of scholarship and Wahhabi-...
This book studies the political and institutional project of Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahnya, the official translation of the Qurʾān into Indonesian by the Indonesian government. It investigates how the translation was produced and presented, and how it is read, as well as considering the implications of the state’s involvement in such a work. Lukman analyses the politicisation of the Qurʾān commentary through discussion of how the tafsīr mechanism functions in this version, weighing up the translation’s dual constraints: the growing political context, on the one hand, and the tafsīr tradition on the other. In doing so, the book pays attention to three key areas: the production phase, the textual material, and the reception of the translation by readers. This book will be of value to scholars with an interest in tafsīr studies, modern and Southeast Asian or Indonesian tafsīr sub-fields, the study of Qurʾān translations, and Indonesian politics and religion more broadly.

To do ethnography, a researcher must have rapport with research subjects. But what is rapport? Ethnography and ethnographic methods have increasingly become a feature of social inquiry in general and sociolinguistics in particular, and rapport is generally considered a prerequisite for fieldwork. And yet, unlike related terms such as "communication" and "phatic communion," this concept has remained largely unexamined. Reimagining Rapport turns a critical eye to the use of the term "rapport" across disciplines. The collection analyzes the very idea of rapport, both exploring how it has been shaped by historical forces and actors within sociocultural anthropology, and questioning its usefulnes...

This book focuses on the written heritage of Muslims in the Philippines, the historical constitution of chancelleries within the Islamic sultanates, and the production of official letters to conduct local and international diplomacy. The standard narrative on Muslims in the Philippines is one that centres political and armed struggles within the region. However, two important aspects remain unattended: the cultural and intellectual production of the sultanates, and the Moro involvement in Southeast Asian Islamic civilization. This book connects the development and personality of the Philippine sultanates into the regional context of local communities that adopted an international faith. Poli...

“Edisi kedua karya sahabat Aksin Wijaya ini merupakan lanjutan dari karya sebelumnya yang berjudul Menggugat Autentisitas Wahyu Tuhan, di sisi lain menjadi pijakan dasar dari karya berikutnya yang berjudul Sejarah Kenabian dalam Perspektif Tafsir Nuzuli. Sebagai lanjutan, karena buku ini menampilkan gagasan inti dari karya sebelumnya tentang diferensiasi pesan Tuhan menjadi wahyu, al-Qur’an dan Mushaf Utsmani; dan menjadi pijakan karena karya berikutnya itu bertolak pada buku ini terutama tentang dialog al-Qur’an dan Mushaf Utsmani dengan realitas masyarakat Arab yang hidup pada pra, era, dan pasca kehadiran al-Qur’an. Ketiga buku itu menjadi satu kesatuan yang harus dibaca oleh mere...
Buku karya Aksin Wijaya yang ada di tangan pembaca ini merupakan model kegelisahan “baru” akan dominasi nalar Arab dalam teks keagamaan, dalam hal ini al-Qur’an. Dikatakan “kegelisahan baru” mengingat pikiran-pikiran yang dilontarkan turut “mempermasalahkan” mushaf Utsman yang oleh sebagian besar pengkaji al-Qur’an justru tidak lagi dipermasalahkan. Sederet pemikir kontemporer, seperti Amin al-Khuli, Fazlur Rahman, Hassan Hanafi, Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, Abdul Karim Shoroush, dan Muhammad Syahrur, misalnya, dengan seabrek tawaran metodologis serta pemikiran kritis lainnya tentang al-Qur’an, justru tidak menyinggung mushaf Utsman sebagai korpus yang pantas “digugat”, meski s...
