ISLAMIC APPROACHES TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

2023-12-21T10:46:58+07:00

This study aims to investigate and review the Islamic perspective on the environment, identify Islamic approaches to preserve the environment and examine the effect of the Islamic approach in the empirical reality of the Muslim population. Based on a Systematic Literature Review of journal articles from the Scopus, the review results of 23 articles generated the Islamic perspective on the environment, namely the harmonious relationship of humans and the environment, the caliph’s role, the expression of faith and sharia obligations, and Islamic ethics. In preserving the environment, Islam proposes a theological approach, ethics and Sufism, Islamic law, comparative religion, educational, communication, philosophical, and social movement approaches. The review also found that while most studies demonstrate the positive effect of increasing Islamic environmental awareness, attitude, and actions, the two reveal an ineffective role of the Islamic environmental project and Islamic countries because environmental problems are subject to economic and political considerations. Future research should focus on explaining the diverse Islamic environmental perspectives and practices across different regions and cultures, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration among scholars to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic.

EXCURSION AS AN EFFECTIVE MODEL FOR INTERRELIGIOUS LITERACY TO PROMOTE MODERATE CULTURE IN PLURAL SOCIETY

2024-02-28T09:44:31+07:00

Moderation is more than a simple concept; it is also a way of life. In order to make moderation a daily practice, enormous efforts must be made during the process of socialization and until it becomes a movement. This study aims to describe and analyse the strategies and actions of interfaith young people in Jembrana, Bali, who promote the value of moderate culture. Using a qualitative approach through participant observation model within the framework of social construction, this study found that the excursion to the interfaith communities and religious worship houses became an effective medium for increasing moderate culture awareness and practice. The trip, as a genuine activity of young people, is the result of mapping the issues and potential actors involved in the movement by considering the network for disseminating the values of moderation. The actions initiated by the students of MAN 1 Jembrana, which then involved interfaith young people from various schools in Jembrana, started with a weekly routine discussion related to diversity issues, then continued with visits and social services to various places of worship as well as religious institutions. After all, the action ended with a declaration of fraternity and an interfaith commitment to peacekeeping

EXPLORING INDONESIAN RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE AND ORIENTATIONAL PLURALISM THROUGH BARASUARA’S "HAGIA"

2023-12-21T23:24:03+07:00

This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how Barasuara's Hagia manifests religious tolerance and orientational pluralism in Indonesia. It is important to highlight that the responsibility for religious tolerance and pluralism extends beyond leadership to every stratum of society. By leveraging music as a vehicle to promote pluralism and instill values within individuals at their core, this approach may prove to be more effective than other governmental-implemented formalized methods. Religion can impact the behavior of young people, who are more ardent than older people, who are more cautious. By applying a qualitative approach, this study shows how orientational pluralism in the Hagia of Barasuara exemplifies religious tolerance. Through the emphasis on divergent viewpoints and other interconnected themes, the lyrical compositions of Hagia demonstrate the potential for religious tolerance and are therefore indicative of a pluralistic and diverse ethos. In conclusion, the lyrical composition suggests that pluralistic understanding can improve inclusive views toward one's own and other religions. Hagia's recognition and admiration of various religious beliefs demonstrate that sheer relativism is insufficient; individuals must show proactive compassion for others.

ISLAM, CYBERSPACE AND POST-TRUTH: EPISTEMOLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN THE DIGITAL AGE

2023-12-21T23:20:51+07:00

This study describes how Islam responds to the post-truth that frequently appears in the digital sphere, especially when political momentum is involved. Post-truth connects with epistemology since, factually, it is intimately tied to the question of truth. This study provides a paradigm for dealing with post-truth by combining the taxonomy of fake news with the Islamic epistemology of Murtadha Mutahhari. Using the horizon of post-truth detection and the Islamic epistemological horizon, the method integrates Gadamer's horizons. According to the study's findings, post-truth stems from the issue of human cognitive bias, which occurs when people tend to accept what they want to think to be true. Meanwhile, misrepresentation, media bias, information laundering, statistical deceit, manipulation of election results, and similar practices are the main traits of falsehoods in the virtual world. In line with Murtadha Mutahhari's Islamic epistemology, the multiple frameworks of these lies must be challenged with efforts at verification, correspondence, and soul purity.
