Judul artikel:  Disability and Islamic Law in Indonesia: Beyond the Rukhṣah Jurnal: Studi Islamika, Vol. 30, No. 3, Th. 2023 DOI: https://doi.org/10.36712/sdi.v30i3.35011  Tanggal terbit: April 2024 Abstract In the past decade, Indonesia has witnessed a surge in interest in exploring the intersection of Islam and disabilities. This trend began with a seminar at UIN Sunan Kalijaga in 2011, leading to numerous research initiatives and publications, culminating in the publication of separate Fikih Difabel by three prominent Islamic institutions. However, these works often treat disabilities as exceptions, relying heavily on exceptions (rukhṣah) rather than developing comprehensive solutions that integrate people with disabilities as full and equal members of the community. This article examines the approaches and limitations of those three Fikih Difabel and proposes a more inclusive Fikih Difabel. It advocates adoption a holistic paradigm encompassing approach, definitions, ...

Judul: Translating The Untranslatable: The Jalālayn learning as a translation practice Jurnal: Indonesia and the Malay World, Vol. 51, No. 151, 2023 Tanggal Terbit: 4 Januari 2024  DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/13639811.2023.2264672 ABSTRACT Apart from the issue of the translatability of the Qur’an, the practice of translating the Qur’an into Indonesian has captured the attention of scholars. Some studies argue that there was a pause in activity after the composition of Tarjumān al-Mustafīd, a translation from Arabic to Malay in the 17th century. This viewpoint is primarily influenced by the expectation of finding a complete translation work similar to Tarjumān. However, this article contends that translating the Qur’an has always been an ongoing practice before and after Tarjumān. The aim of these translation practices, however, is not necessarily to create a work translated from one language to another, but rather to serve as a pedagogical activity that produces knowledge about th...

Previous studies have neglected a critical area of intersection between Islamic law, women, and disability issues. This article explores the contribution of women with disabilities in formulating these fatwas and how they tackle problems relevant ...

Secara akademik, nyaris tidak ada studi tentang ‘kota inklusif’. Padahal, dalam praktik, sudah banyak daerah yang berusaha menjadi, atau mengklaim diri, sebagai “kota inklusif”. Studi dalam artikel ini bersifat literer karena bertujuan menemukan gagasan dan landasan teoretis yang dapat digunakan untuk mendefinisikan “kota inklusif.” Karena definisi saja belum cukup, tulisan juga akan mengkaji indikator kota inklusif. Berdasarkan kajian teoretis yang dilakukan, penulis berpendapat ada empat indikator kota inklusif: (i) adanya partisipasi difabel; (ii) adanya upaya pemenuhan hak-hak difabel; (iii) terjaminya aksesibilitas; ...

The Historiography of Islamic Law: The Case of Tārīkh al-Tashrī‘ Literature Arif Maftuhin * Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University (UIN) Yogyakarta, Indonesia DOI: https://doi.org/10.14421/ajis.2016.542.369-391 Abstract Tārīkh al-Tashrī‘ (the history of sharia affairs) is a relatively new genre of Islamic historiography and very popular among students of Islamic Law. Despite its popularity, academics of Islamic historiography seem not interested in studying it. There is hardly any academic paper seriously studied the literature. This paper is a first effort to explore the Tārīkhu’t-tashrī‘ literature through a historiographical analysis. As an initial exploration, it argues that Tārīkh al-Tashrī‘ is the latest development of Islamic historiography, developed in the 19th century, but it is a genre of the old Islamic historiography with some new elements. The new elements are influenced by both modern Western historiography and the need to re-open the supposedly closed g...

AKSESIBILITAS IBADAH BAGI DIFABEL: STUDI ATAS EMPAT MASJID DI YOGYAKARTA  Arif Maftuhin * UIN Sunan Kalijaga  DOI: https://doi.org/10.14421/ijds.010207  ABSTRACT This study was inspired by a project in the United States called “accessible congregation”, a project that promotes accessibility in the places of worshsip. While idea of “accessible congregation” is not less known in Indonesia, it is important to study how accessible are Indonesian mosques. Modifying what are considered to be more relevant indicators of accessibility for mosques in Indonesia, this researh studies four main mosques in Yogyakarta. This study found that most mosques are not acceessible and one mosque are less accessible, meaning that no mosque in Yogyakarta are fully accessible.

MENYINGKAP STRUKTUR MAKNA PAKAIAN ARAB  Arif Maftuhin * UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta  DOI: https://doi.org/10.14421/musawa.2011.101.157-170  Abstract Isu jilbab di Indonesia banyak memiliki perbedaan bila dibandingkan dengan isu semisal di Timur Tengah. Di Indonesia, perdebatannya adalah antara mereka yang “mau mengenakan” dan mereka yang “tidak mau mengenakan”. Sedangkan di dunia Arab, perdebatannya adalah antara mereka yang “mau mempertahankan” dengan yang “mau menanggalkan” (hijâb versus sufûr). Selagi di Indonesia orang berdebat tentang apakah mengenakan jilbab itu kewajiban Islami atau sebagai adat Arab tentang kesantunan; di dunia Arab baik Muslim maupun non-Muslim yang telah berabad-abad mengenakan jilbab menanggalkannya sebagai bentuk perlawanan terhadap tradisi patriarki dan atau simbol modernitas. Demikian pula secara geografis, jika di Indonesia gerakan berjilbab adalah gerakan kaum urban, di Arab kaum urban-lah justru yang memulai gerakan menangg...

Islam Online: Ormas-ormas Islam Indonesia di Dunia Maya Penagama: Jurnal Penelitian dan Pengembangan Ilmu-ilmu Agama Vol. XIX, No 1, Januari-April 2010 Hal. 133-149 Full text: PDF The Internet has changed the world in many ways. One of the phenomena created by the Internet is the presence of virtual religions: either online religion or religion online. All religions have undergone this process of “virtualization” and Islam is indeed no exception. The radical Muslim jihadis use the Internet to promote their causes, the clerics go online to release their religious opinions and the lay searches more quickly accesses to religious knowledge and authorities. While the Internet has also significantly transformed the ways of understanding and practicing religion here in Indonesia, little has been done academically to understand these changes. Studies in virtual religion are developing in other parts of the world and they are underdeveloped here in Indonesia and about Islam Indo...

Saya menulis artikel ini untuk mata kuliah Filsafat Ilmu di prodi S3 IAIN Sunan Kalijaga. Teman saya sekelas, yang menjadi redaktur pelaksana di jurnal Al-A'raf, meminta izin saya untuk dipublikasikan. Tentu saja saya setuju. Publikasi di Jurnal Al-A'raf, Vol. 5, No. 2, tahun 2009     Artikel berikut adalah suatu pembacaan atas tema belief, inquiry, and meaning dalam buku Contemporary Analytic Philosophy, karya Milton K Munitz. Dalam tulisan tersebUt, Munitz berusaha membantu pembaca untuk memahami kontribusi bapak Pragmatisme Amerika, Charles Sanders Peirce dalam filsafat epistemologi. Khususnya, dibahas dalam artikel tersebut, upaya Pierce dalam mengembangkan epistemologi yang berorientasi pragmatis: kebenaran ilmu tak lagi diukur dari ide-ide dan konsep, melainkan dari wujud praktisnya. Demikian pula dengan “kebenaran” ( truth ) itu sendiri: kebenaran adalah proses terus menerus antara perumusan dan “pengamalan”.

Dari Nalar Ushuli ke Nalar Interdisiplin:  Studi atas Implikasi Kritik Nalar Islami Mohammed Arkoun Hermenia: Jurnal Kajian Islam Interdisipliner Vol 3, No. 1 Januari-Juni 2004 Hal. 125-141 Full text: PDF Realizing that it is impossible to describe completely one thought in any analysis, this paper tries to discuss Mohammed Arkoun's thought in the case of Quranic reading and its implication to the Usuli Quranic reading. The paper begins with a review on the history of Mohammed Arkoun the background of his thought and the critical points in which he, as he always says, problematisize Islamic thought. It seems that modernism and all the problems it implied are the central point in Mohammed Arkoun's thought. He was astonished by modern France that is so confidence, dominating, and proud of its revolutionary steps. At the same time, he was disturbed by the fact of Islamic societies that is not only militarily, but also economically, culturally, and intellectually w...
