The practice of Islamic philanthropy in higher education has been developed in various forms, in line with the political democratization and Islamisation after the fall of the New Order. This article analyzes the mapping growth, characteristics, contribution, and challenges of philanthropic practices within universities. This article is based on qualitative research in contemporary Social History. This article discusses the phenomenon of Islamic philanthropy institutions in higher education, following the modernization and Islamization, and positions of universities as civil society. Through in-depth interviews, FGDs, document studies and observation, the authors find that practices of Islamic philanthropy have a significant growth within universities, both in public and private, either secular or Islamic universities, mainly in Java island. The authors find a total number of 51 charitable or philanthropic organizations which have been established within universities, have a diversity in its forms and formation influenced by its own context. These practices are the result of Islamisation and democratization movements that are not only dedicated for strengthening higher educational institutions but also for social welfare and humanitarian purposes. During the Covid-19 pandemics, the practices were becoming stronger. However, the contestation between the state and civil society which has existed in the national level is found also in university level, and becomes one of significant challenges for the pace of development of philanthropy practices in universities.

Peran Masjid dalam Penyebaran Toleransi

Baeti Rohman — 2023-12-29

Islam is a religion that does not close itself to diversity, Islamic teachings make tolerance an attitude in dealing with differences, this attitude is reflected in Islamic principles which believe that religion is not something that can be forced and then confirmed through the sacred doctrine that there is no compulsion in religion. The mosque has its own privileges in the Islamic world, the function of the mosque cannot be reduced only as a place of worship, more than that the mosque plays an important role in the spread of Islam through da'wah. Islam encourages da'wah to be carried out gently by withholding messages of peace and tolerance. This study aims to understand the contribution of mosques in spreading tolerance by using a literature review methodology. The results of the study show that mosques have an important role in spreading tolerance, the spread of tolerance through mosques is realized because mosques function as da'wah centers in the Islamic world. The preaching of tolerance is packaged in two forms, namely preaching tolerance verbally and preaching tolerance in action. In the long run, the message of tolerance that is often conveyed through mosques is expected to be able to maintain the harmony of life among religious communities and the nation which consists of various religious and ethnic backgrounds.

Urgensi Fatwa dan Sidang Isbat dalam Penentuan Awal Bulan Kamariah di Indonesia

Siti Tatmainul Qulub — 2023-12-29

This study examines the urgency of fatwas and isbat hearings in determining the beginning of the month of Kamariah in Indonesia. MUI issued MUI Fatwa in 1981 and MUI Fatwa No. 2 of 2004, which contains the initial determination of Ramadan, Shawwal, and Dhul-Hijjah, where all Muslims in Indonesia are obliged to obey Government decrees carried out through isbat sessions. However, many still need to obey the provisions of the Government. This research answers two formulations of the problem. First, what is the urgency of the MUI Fatwa and Isbat Council in determining the beginning of the month of Kamariah in Indonesia? Second, how much did the MUI Fatwa and Isbat Council contribute to unifying the beginning of the month of Kamariah in Indonesia? The descriptive-analytical method with a fiqh Falak approach answers both problem formulations. The study yielded two findings. First, the urgency of the MUI Fatwa and the Isbat Assembly is a form of the responsibility of scholars and the Government to the Indonesian people to create togetherness, provide certainty of opinion, and minimize differences and conflicts. Second, the MUI Fatwa is a step and initial foothold for the Government to set criteria for the beginning of the month of Kamariah (MABIMS and Neo MABIMS). The Isbat Assembly became a forum for collecting various information, both the results of hisab and reports. Both contribute to efforts to realize the benefits of togetherness during worship.

Analisis Spirit Filantropi Islam Perspektif Aksiologi Max Scheler dalam Konteks Badan Amil Zakat Nasional

Arip Budiman — 2023-12-29

This research aims to analyze the concept of Islamic philanthropy from the perspective of Max Scheler's axiology and how the National Zakat Agency can practice Islamic philanthropic values in Indonesia. The research process uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach. The results and discussion show that the concept of Islamic philanthropy in the context of Baznas through its programs, axiologically falls into the category of spiritual and religious value hierarchies from Max Scheler's perspective. The conclusion drawn from the research is that the spirit of Islamic philanthropy has a spiritual and religious basis axiologically, especially through the implementation of Baznas programs in the distribution of zakat, infaq, and shadaqah funds. Recommendations for further research are that a more elaborate method is needed to conduct more detailed research on the strategies applied by Baznas in promoting Islamic philanthropy. This is necessary because this research is limited to only one qualitative approach.

Achmad Solechan — 2023-12-29

Religion is one of the national elements that binds national harmony. Approaching the 2024 political year, various parties contesting in the legislative and executive elections are trying to make various efforts to become winners. One of the efforts to win this contest is to practise politicization of religion. In fact, political experts have agreed that the politicization of religion is not a good thing for a pluralistic country like Indonesia. Therefore, in order to avoid the negative impact of the politicization of religion, various parties, including religion counselors, should try to prevent it. The limited number of articles and research on the role of religion counselors in preventing the negative impact of the politicization of religion prompted the author to focus the research on the role of religion counselors in preventing the negative impact of the politicization of religion. This research seeks to provide insight to religion counselors about their crucial role in preventing the negative impacts of politicization of religion. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data taken from a literature study with primary data: Joint Decree among the Minister of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia and the Head of the State Civil Service Agency number: 574 of 1999 and Number: 178 of 1999. The results of this research are that religion counselors have four roles in preventing the negative impacts of politicization of religion, namely: roles informative-educative roles, consultative, advocative and administrative roles.
