Ritual, Rasa, Raga: Menyelami Upacara Adat Pernikahan dalam Serat Centhini Jilid 6
Serat Centhini is recognised as a comprehensive compendium of Javanese culture, embracing a wide range of subjects including ethics, traditional recipes, and metaphysical teachings. This study specifically highlights the richness of descriptions of Javanese traditional wedding ceremonies in the Centhini Manuscript Volume 6, through the integration of three main dimensions, namely the symbolic (ritual), emotional (feelings), and physical (body) dimensions. The objective of this study is to identify the fundamental meaning behind each procession, to trace the traces of cultural transformation, and to affirm the relevance of these values to the spirituality of contemporary Javanese society. The text was analysed using a qualitative approach and literary hermeneutic methods, with the analysis being both descriptive and interpretative. The results of the analysis demonstrate that wedding ceremonies, particularly those involving Jayengresmi and Niken Tambangraras, exhibit a profound syncretism between Javanese traditions and Islamic values. Moreover, this procession evinces the symbolism of the body (raga), emotional experiences (rasa), and reflections on traditional gender constructs. Therefore, the wedding ceremony described in Serat Centhini is not merely a series of traditions, but rather a concrete manifestation of the relationship between humans and moral values, spirituality, and Javanese cultural identity, which is in a state of constant adaptation.

Suara Anak-Anak dalam Rumah Tangga Kolonial: Surat-Surat Putra-Putri Indo-Pribumi Snouck Hurgronje (1906-1908)
This paper attempts to examine letters written by the children of Dutch colonial officials and renowned Islamic scholar Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje, who lived in Ciamis from 1906 to 1908, as a primary source for exploring and understanding the emotional dimensions, experiences, and identities of Indo-Native children within the colonial family system. Unlike previous studies that focused on Snouck's travels and intellectual and political contributions or the impact of his colonial policies, this paper attempts to highlight the domestic and emotional dimensions of Snouck and his family in the Dutch East Indies through an epistolary analysis and microhistory approach. Analysis of these letters reveals at least several main themes, including longing for a father who has left his wife and children, expressions of obedience and politeness characteristic of Sundanese-Ciamis culture, education as a path to social mobility, economic dependence on the colonial father figure, and the negotiation of children's identities in the context of mixed families. These letters also show how colonialism worked in the domestic sphere through emotional, economic, and cultural relationships between fathers and their children. A significant contribution of this research is its effort to enrich Indonesian colonial historiography by presenting the voices of children, which rarely appear in official colonial archives, and showing that the experience of mixed families can be an important lens for understanding colonialism from a more human and personal perspective.
HARMONI IMAN DAN KEARIFAN LOKAL: TELAAH SINKRETISME ISLAM–JAWA DALAM RITUAL PANJANG JIMAT DI CIREBON
The Long Amulet Ritual in Cirebon is a form of local religiosity that reflectsa strategic syncretism between Islamic teachings and Javanese wisdom. UnlikeWestern approaches that tend to view syncretism as passive acculturationor theological deviation, this article uses Andrew Beatty's theoretical frameworkAndrew Beatty that understands syncretism as an active dialoguebetween equal or hierarchical ideological systems. Through qualitative-descriptive methods and in-depth interviews with religious leaders, royal servants, and the people of Cirebon, this study reveals that Panjang Jimatis not merely a cultural heritage, but a process of reconceptualization, integration,and modification consciously carried out by local actors. The findings showthat this ritual becomes a symbolic space where the values of tawhid, palace authority, and Javanese mystical spirituality merge in a contextual and dynamic form. This study provides a theoretical contribution to the study ofIslam Nusantara by rejecting the universal-local dichotomy and emphasizing thatIslam Nusantara is an Islam that engages in dialogue, not an Islam that is imposed.
Garebeg Mulud Sebagai Bentuk Konsistensi Pelestarian Budaya Jawa Di Karaton Ngayogyakata Hadiningrat Yogyakarta
The forces of cultural globalization and the rising influence of transnational Islamic ideologies often resistant to local traditions pose significant challenges to the preservation of indigenous cultural practices. This ethnographic study explores how the Garebeg Mulud tradition continues to be practiced by the Karaton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat amidst the pressures of modernization. The endurance of Garebeg Mulud is closely tied to the pivotal role of the royal court (ndalem), which imbues each ceremonial procession with sacred meaning and a sense of divine blessing, thus legitimizing its preservation. The openness of the keraton reflects its adaptive response to a constantly evolving sociocultural reality. Through various preservation strategies including ritualization and formalization. The palace demonstrates a capacity for cultural invention that sustains traditional values within contemporary frameworks. This ability to maintain cultural continuity offers a potential model for other local traditions across the Indonesian archipelago facing similar pressures from modernity and ideological shifts.

Islamic Society dan Problematika Muslim Minoritas di Papua Nugini pada Tahun 1978-2001
As a minority group, Muslims in Papua New Guinea have their own struggles, even just to survive in the midst of Christian domination. This study aims to explain the history of the entry of Islam and the establishment of the Islamic Society of Papua New Guinea (ISPNG) in 1978, describe the problems faced by Muslim minorities, and analyze ISPNG's efforts in solving these problems. The method used is a historical approach through the stages of topic selection, heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. Theories used include theories of minority groups, Islamization, social problems, and social movements. The results showed that Islam has been known since the 16th century, but experienced significant development after ISPNG played an active role in facing discrimination, limited worship facilities, and difficulties in obtaining halal food through various proselytization strategies, building mosques, providing halal food, and collaborating with international networks.
Diskursus Relasi Zakat-Pajak dalam Perumusan Undang-Undang Zakat, 2010-2011
This research analyzed the discourse of the statute bill of zakat in the Indonesian Parliament, especially about the relation between zakat and tax. It is important since the implementation of zakat as a tax deduction according to the previous statute is not running well. The tax deduction scenario, for some people, puts the Indonesian muslim into double burden. They ask legislators to accommodate zakat as tax credit in the new statute of zakat. Integrated zakat and tax into one regulation would be a dynamic discourse as both have similarity and differences in several things. Therefore, the aim of this study is to reveal how the discourse happened in the Indonesia Parliament so that they decided to pass the statute of zakat related with zakat and tax. The primary sources used for this paper are the verbatim records of the statute bill of zakat, newspaper from the same period, and interview. The research found that tax credit is not applicable in Indonesia. This paper hopefully contributes to the development of the history of thought of zakat management and the history of public policy of management of zakat in Indonesia.
Peran Pesantren Al-Hamidiyah Pangandaran Jawa Barat Pada Masa Revolusi Fisik (1945-1949)
Pesantren in Indonesia have functioned not only as religious educational institutions but also as key actors in the struggle against colonialism. This study explores the history of the establishment of Pesantren Al-Hamidiyah in Pangkalan Village, Pangandaran, and its role in defending Indonesian independence. Conducted using academic historical research methods, the study follows five stages: topic selection, heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. The findings reveal that the pesantren was founded by Kyai Abdul Hamid out of concern for the community’s limited understanding of Islamic teachings. After independence, the pesantren evolved into a center for consolidation and military training for students and local youth. Under Kyai Abdul Hamid’s leadership, the pesantren’s militia actively participated in resisting Dutch forces through guerrilla warfare and a strong spirit of jihad. Despite facing numerous challenges, Pesantren Al-Hamidiyah remained steadfast in its commitment to defending the nation’s independence.
Adaptasi Terhadap Konteks Nasional: Strategi LDII Indonesia dan Ikhwanul Muslimin Mesir dalam Menjalin Hubungan Agama-Negara
This article examines the dynamic interactions between religious movements and state authorities by comparing two distinct Islamic organizations: Lembaga Dakwah Islam Indonesia (LDII) in Indonesia and the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwanul Muslimin, IM) in Egypt. Both organizations, rooted in Islamic principles, have forged complex relationships with their respective states, yet their paths reflect divergent approaches shaped by unique national contexts. LDII, operating within Indonesia's pluralistic democracy underpinned by Pancasila, has strategically adapted to national norms. Despite past controversies, LDII has embraced a pragmatic approach, emphasizing Quran and Hadith-based teachings, actively participating in socio-economic initiatives, formalizing its organizational structure, and collaborating with government programs. This demonstrates a flexible alignment with Indonesia's emphasis on national unity and religious moderation. In stark contrast, Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, once a dominant political force, faced an existential threat following the 2013 military coup. Forced into exile, the IM has largely maintained an ideologically rigid stance in opposition to the state. By analyzing these two cases, this study highlights how contextual factors ranging from political systems and state ideologies to historical trajectories and internal organizational dynamics profoundly influence the strategies religious movements employ to survive and thrive within state-religion frameworks.
Eksklusivitas Hijab Premium Buttonscarves dan Distingsi di Kalangan Muslimah Suburban
This study examines how Buttonscarves premium hijab builds a narrative of exclusivity as well as a tool that creates social difference among suburban Muslim women. Using Pierre Bourdieu's distinction theory as an analytical framework, this study found that Buttonscarves builds a narrative of exclusivity through various planned strategies. These strategies include naming iconic cities or places from various parts of the world for its product collections, using diction associated with luxury in product descriptions, collaborating with international influencers such as Halima Aden, applying premium prices to create an image of “expensive,” and limiting accessibility to certain products to emphasize the exclusive impression. The results show that the consumption of Buttonscarves among suburban Muslim women is not solely driven by fashion needs, but also to express social status and distinctive tastes, especially in terms of design. In relatively economically homogeneous communities, the hijab is used as a means to strengthen group identity and solidarity, for example through joint buying activities in the work environment. In contrast, in more socially and economically heterogeneous communities, the consumption of Buttonscarves sometimes provokes criticism as they are perceived to reflect stark social class differences. Thus, Buttonscarves not only function as a symbol of prestige, but also a marker of upper-middle-class identity as well as a means for individuals to assert their social position in suburban society. This finding implies that the practice of premium hijab consumption among Muslim women also reproduces social stratification in the context of everyday life.

Interkoneksi Sanad Keilmuan dalam Mujahadah Nihadlul Mustaghfirin dengan Sanad K.H Dalhar dan Pengaruh Ajarannya pada Masyarakat Muslim Indonesia
This study aims to trace the chain of sanad mujahadah Nihadlul Mustaghfirin and interconnection with sanad K.H. Dalhar, as well as the influence of its teachings on the Indonesian Muslim community. This mujahadah is interesting to discuss because although it is not tied to any community organization, its development is very rapid in various regions. In addition, the importance of scientific sanad needs to be studied in depth not only in the realm of hadith discussion but also covers all disciplines, with its main function being to maintain the originality of a science. This research was conducted by qualitative methods with the interconnection of scientific sanad as the main focus. The source of data used in this study comes from a case study approach through interviews with the figures concerned. In analyzing the interconnection of the mujahadah scientific sanad, the author uses Amin Abdullah's theory of integration-interconnection and the theory of Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali’s scientific sanad. Based on this theory, it is concluded that the sanad mujahadah Nihadlul Mustaghfirin is included in the category of sanad diploma, and the connection of scientific sanad is given directly by the teacher (Kyai Nahrowi Dalhar) to his students (Gus Muh). The existence of mujahadah was found to influence bonding relations between communities and expand connections because it was followed by thousands of groups of people.

The colonial government's branding strategy was closely linked to the development of print media at the time, where classified ads frequently appeared and celebrities were utilized to attract public attention. the appearance and lifestyle of celebrities, especially women, reflected social values influenced by colonialism. for example, miss Riboet's name was associated with powder products, and Roekiah became an advertising star after her success in the film Terang Boelan. Although the practice of celebrity marketing has existed since the colonial era, the difference with the present is obvious, especially due to the rapid development of technology and the use of the internet.

This makes it easier to implement technology-based learning interactively with students. The students who study in the study program at the Faculty of Ushuluddin and Adab are dominated by the Ciayumajakuning area, with the origin of madrasah schools and Islamic boarding schools. Graduates of study programs at the Faculty of Ushuluddin and Adab work and have careers in various segments of the world of work with an average waiting period of less than six months. This kind of condition needs to be improved in five aspects of quality improvement, namely the Organization and Management Sector, Education and Student Affairs, Research and Community Service, Institutional Cooperation and Support Sector. These five aspects of quality improvement are carried out in the form of improvement and development strategies such as carrying out Internal Quality Audits in an accountable and database-based manner, sending lecturer delegations to scientific associations (National and International), publishing lecturer-student collaboration journals, intensifying models and cooperation from the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to the orientation of the Memorandum of Action (MoA), organizing the Fostered Village program.
Manajemen Mutu Program Studi: Analisis Profil Mutu Lulusan dan Relevansinya dalam Karir Alumni Sejarah Peradaban Islam Tahun 2011 – 2021
The analysis of the description of the process of formulating the quality concept of the profile of graduates of the History of Islamic Civilization (SPI) Study Program (SPI) IAIN Syekh Nurjati Cirebon is an integral part of efforts to test the relevance of graduate profiles to graduate careers. This effort was carried out through a survey research method with an exploratory approach to the alumni population from 2011 to 2021 which amounted to 297 people. This approach was chosen based on the assumption that social reality applies typically, subjectively and contextually in space and time, so researchers need to understand it by interpreting the phenomenon in depth in its context. The results of the study show that the mechanism of formulation and preparation is carried out through several stages, namely Need Assessment, Workshop, Formulation and Ratification at the Senate level, Socialization, Improvement. This mechanism produces the formulation of the quality profile of graduates, namely: Historians; Creator of narrative works with the theme of Multimedia-based Islamic Cultural History; Researcher in the field of Islamic Cultural History; Historical Tour Guide; and Cultural Observers. Meanwhile, the level of quality relevance in the career of graduates is relatively low, namely 19% of the object population. This low relevance is caused by several obstacles, namely the lack of job opportunities purely related to the expertise of the History of Islamic Civilization; Linearity of non-educational and educational expertise; Low foreign language and computer/technology (IT) skills; Low socialization and promotion of the SPI Study Program to stakeholders (the world of work).

Dinamika Multikulturalisme Muslim di Australia
This article investigates the process of Islamization and development in Australia amid multiculturalism. The process of Islamization began in the 17th century, when Makassar fishermen looking for seagulls came. When Muslim immigrants arrived from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, China, Jordan, Syria, Malaysia, and Indonesia, Islamization became more visible. Throughout its history, Islam has always battled minority rights and terrorism challenges. The presence of various Islamic groups in Australia, including the Australia Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC), the Australian Federation for Muslim Students and Youth (FAMSY), and the Muslim Women's Center (MWA), signaled the expansion of Islamization in the country. The study employs qualitative methodologies in conjunction with a literary review strategy. Primary data sources are consulted.
Dampak Perjanjian 1752 Terhadap Konflik Keraton Kasepuhan Abad XVIII
The crux of the matter can be found in the guidelines for the succession of power in the Kasepuhan Cirebon Palace. Each party adheres to the conviction that the procedures they espouse are the authentic guidelines. Notably, relevant experts have not corroborated the veracity of all claims. Furthermore, there is a lack of reliable historical sources about the succession procedures within the Kasepuhan Cirebon Palace family. This lack of evidence renders the arguments of those seeking to resolve the issue even more tenuous. Because of the aforementioned considerations, the author endeavors to look at historical primary sources in the form of archives of agreements between the sultans of Cirebon in the past, stored by the National Archives of the Republic of Indonesia. It is hoped that the results of this study will serve as a scientific and academic reference for related parties, thereby facilitating the immediate resolution of the conflict that has arisen in the Kasepuhan Cirebon Palace.
