Buku tentang maqāşid al-sharī'ah belum banyak dipublikasikan di Indonesia. Meskipun ada beberapa buku yang membahas maqāşid al-sharī'ah, pembahasannya tidak terlalu lengkap dan belum menyatukan perkembangan mutakhir tinjauan maqāşid al-shari'ah. Sementara di luar negeri, kajian ini telah mulai berkembang dan banyak digunakan untuk merespons fenomena baru yang berkaitan dengan hukum Islam. Buku ini hadir untuk melengkapi kekurangan ini dan ingin mengenalkan kepada pengkaji hukum Islam Indonesia tentang diskusi mutakhir maqāşid al-sharī'ah. Diskursus ini penting dikenalkan kepada masyarakat agar hukum Islam tidak terlalu tekstual dan konfirmasi para ahli hukum, khusus pembuat fatwa,...
Ideologi Jihadi dan Khilafah beserta simbolnya makin gencar dipropagandakan oleh kaum jihadis puritan dengan cara memelintir hadis-hadis. Apa sajakah masalah atau pemelintiran hadis-hadis yang sering dikutip oleh ISIS dan sejenisnya itu? Buku ini memaparkan jawabannya. • Lukman Hakim Saifuddin – Menteri Agama Republik Indonesia. Banyak yang mendadak mau berjihad hanya karena membaca terjemahan sejumlah hadis. Buku ini ditulis dengan renyah dan ringan, namun isinya penuh dengan penjelasan ulama yang diakui otoritasnya dalam keilmuan Islam. Agar, tidak ada lagi yang salah paham soal jihad akibat paham yang salah. • Prof. H. Nadirsyah Hosen, Ph. D. – Rais Syuriah PCI Nahdatul Ulama Australia-Selandia Baru/Dosen Law School Monash University.
The global pandemic has offered extraordinary opportunities for extremists and terrorists to mobilize themselves and revive as more powerful actors in the security landscape. But could these threat groups actually capitalize on the coronavirus crisis and advance their malevolent agendas? Utilizing the largest COVID-19-related terrorism database, the book presents an analysis built upon a quantitative and qualitative comparison between the nature of both the radical Islamist and the far-right-related threat in 2018 and 2020. It provides, for the first time, a true picture of novel trends since the pandemic outbreak.
Face veiling is relatively new in Indonesia. It is often stereotyped as a sign of extremism and the growing Arabisation of Indonesian Muslims. It is also perceived as a symbol that demonstrates a lack of female agency. However, increasing numbers of women are choosing to wear the cadar (the full face veil). This book provides an ethnographic study of these women: why they choose to wear the cadar, embody strict religious disciplinary practices and the consequences of that choice. The women in this book belong to two Islamic revivalist movements: various Salafi groups and the Tablīghī Jamāʿat. Indonesia has constantly witnessed transformations in the meanings and practices of Islam, and this book demonstrates that women are key actors in this process. Nisa demonstrates that contrary to stereotypes, the women in this study have an agency which is expressed through their chosen docility and obedience.
Pentingnya moderasi beragama sangat disadari oleh pemerintah dalam mengelola iklim bermasyarakat di Indonesia yang plural, dengan begitu banyan serta memiliki banyak perbedaan dan keberagaman, dari suku, etnis, agama, dan budaya. Kemajemukan merupakan kunci pemicu konflik atas nama perbedaan yang sangat mudah dipantik menjadi konflik berbasis kekerasan, termasuk mengarahkan pemikiran radikalisme ke arah ekstremisme kekerasan. Untuk itu, buku ini dapat memberikan gambaran real tentang tanggapan pihak perempuan, terutama perempuan penyuluh agama Islam, terhadap moderasi beragama tersebut.
Extremist groups rely upon women to gain strategic advantage, recruiting them as facilitators and martyrs while also benefiting from their subjugation. Yet U.S. policymakers overlook the roles that women play in violent extremism--including as perpetrators, mitigators, and victims--and rarely enlist their participation in efforts to combat radicalization. This omission puts the United States at a disadvantage in its efforts to prevent terrorism globally and within its borders. Women fuel extremists' continued influence by advancing their ideology online and by indoctrinating their families. New technology allows for more sophisticated outreach, directly targeting messages to radicalize and r...
This book explores the public role of Islam in contemporary world politics. “Public Islam” refers to the diverse invocations and struggles over Islamic ideas and practices that increasingly influence the politics and social life of large parts of the globe. The contributors to this volume show how public Islam articulates competing notions and practices of the common good and a way of envisioning alternative political and religious ideas and realities, reconfiguring established boundaries of civil and social life. Drawing on examples from the late Ottoman Empire, Africa, South Asia, Iran, and the Arab Middle East, this volume facilitates understanding the multiple ways in which the public sphere, a key concept in social thought, can be made transculturally feasible by encompassing the evolution of non-Western societies in which religion plays a vital role.
In the last decade the world has witnessed a rise in women's participation in terrorism. Women, Gender, and Terrorism explores women's relationship with terrorism, with a keen eye on the political, gender, racial, and cultural dynamics of the contemporary world. Throughout most of the twentieth century, it was rare to hear about women terrorists. In the new millennium, however, women have increasingly taken active roles in carrying out suicide bombings, hijacking airplanes, and taking hostages in such places as Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, and Chechnya. These women terrorists have been the subject of a substantial amount of media and scholarly attention, but the anal...
The book offers an innovative approach to studying processes of radicalization across a variety of cases, highlighting al-Qaeda, the Red Brigades, and the Greek-Cypriot EOKA. Focusing not only on opportunities for aggression or violence-prone ideologies, the book also demonstrates the key role of relational dynamics not only in driving, but also in impeding the radicalization process.
