ABSTRACT

Religious moderation is a solution step in the midst of differences that exist in a multicultural nation to anticipate disharmony in society. This article samples the concept of religious moderation offered by Islam as a Samawi religion in Q.S. Al-Baqarah [2]: 143 which is represented in the word ummatan wasaṭan and the concept of religious moderation offered by Hinduism as an Ardi religion in Bhagavad Gita 6.17 which is represented in the word yoga. Although both were born from different wombs and different contexts, there must be similarities in certain respects. Therefore, to find the differences as well as the similarities, Roland Barthes' semiotics is used to explore the different aspects of language as well as their historical contexts. There are two important findings in this article first, the linguistic review shows that the word ummatan wasaṭan in Islam refers to a group that is moderate, just and becomes ′uswatun ḥasanah. While the word yoga in Hinduism is moderation, balance, and spiritual endeavour; secondly, the two scriptures have similarities and differences both based on origin and context, meaning, main focus, and practical application.

ABSTRAK

Moderasi beragama merupakan sebuah langkah solutif di tengah perbedaan yang ada dalam sebuah bangsa yang multikultural untuk mengantisipasi disharmonisasi dalam masyarakat. Artikel ini mengambil sampel konsep moderasi beragama yang ditawarkan oleh Islam sebagai agama Samawi dalam Q.S. Al-Baqarah [2]: 143 yang terepresentasi dalam kata ummatan wasaṭan dan konsep moderasi beragama yang ditawarkan oleh agama Hindu sebagai agama Ardi dalam Bhagavad Gita 6.17 yang terepresentasi dalam kata yoga. Meskipun keduanya lahir dari rahim yang berbeda dan konteks yang berbeda, pasti terdapat kesamaan dalam beberapa hal tertentu. Maka untuk menemukan sisi perbedaan sekaligus persamaan keduanya, penggunaan semiotika Roland Barthes digunakan untuk menelusuri perbedaan aspek bahasa sekaligus konteks historis keduanya. Terdapat dua temuan penting dalam artikel ini pertama, tinjauan kebahasaan menunjukkan bahwa kata ummatan wasaṭan dalam Islam menunjuk pada kelompok yang moderat, adil dan menjadi ′uswatun ḥasanah. Sedangkan kata yoga dalam agama Hindu adalah moderasi, keseimbangan, dan usaha spiritual; kedua, kedua kitab suci tersebut memiliki persamaan dan perbedaan baik berdasarkan asal-usul dan konteks, pemaknaan, fokus utama, serta pengaplikasian secara praktis.

Siswanto Siswanto, Ahmad Fawaid, Saiful Hadi — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The study of Islamic moderation in pesantren needs to be considered as an effort to prevent radicalism and extremism, because besides having historical legitimacy as indigenous Indonesian education, pesantren since its inception have affirmed itself as a moderate education. By using a qualitative approach, the research which was carried out in four Islamic boarding schools in Madura resulted in the construction of the kiai's moderation thought is in the neo-modernist type. Islamic moderation is instilled by promoting exemplary and learning from walisongo, as well as being given understanding through studying the turats book. It is manifested in tolerant behavior and openness to ikhtilaf. The implication for the santri's diversity is the growth of respect for religious differences and opinions within their own religion.

ABSTRACT

The kitab munakahat so far only presents Islamic procedures for intercourse, the wife's obligations to her husband, or the husband's rights to his wife which are full of patriarchal nuances. Different from other classical Islamic books, the Kitab Adabul Muasyaroh by KH. Yasin Asmuni offers mutuality in marriage towards a saadah marriage as in the marriage of the Prophet Muhammad and Khadijah al Kubro. This study focuses on describing the concept of saadah marriage in the Kitab Adabul Muasyarah using a critical discourse approach. The results of the study show that in terms of text, there are rewording, overwording, euphemisms, and metaphors; intertextually it was found that the thoughts of KH. Yasin Asmuni in this book were influenced by two Islamic thinkers, namely Abu Hamid Al Ghazali and Jamaluddin al-Qosimi. The justice of the division of rights and obligations of husband and wife in this book uses the mubadalah 'mutual' approach which is in line with the reading of Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir’s theory of Mubadalah which was published twenty years after this book was published. Explanatively, it is found that this book positions husband and wife proportionally as evidenced by the existence of obligations and rights for husband and wife. Another uniqueness of this book is the existence of a contradiction in thought in the form of the husband's dominance over his wife in the early part and the mutuality and equality of husband and wife in the middle to the end of the Kitab Adabul Muasyaroh because this book is a kitab khulasah that combines the thoughts of two Islamic thinkers, occurs.

ABSTRAK

Kitab munakahat selama ini hanya menyajikan tata cara bersenggama yang Islami, kewajiban istri atas suami, atau hak suami atas istri yang sarat nuansa patriarkal. Berbeda dengan kitab lain, Kitab Adabul Muasyaroh karya KH. Yasin Asmuni menawarkan kesalingan dalam pernikahan menuju pernikahan saadah sebagaimana pernikahan Nabi Muhammad dan Khadijah. Kubro. Penelitian ini fokus mendeskripsikan konsep pernikahan saadah dalam Kitab Adabul Muasyarah dengan pendekatan wacana kritis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan secara teks, terdapat rewording, overwording, eufimisme, dan metafora; secara intertekstual ditemukan bahwa pemikiran KH. Yasin Asmuni pada kitab ini dipengaruhi dua pemikir Islam, yaitu Abu Hamid Al Ghazali dan Jamaluddin al-Qosimi. Keadilan pembagian hak dan kewajiban suami dan istri dalam kitab ini menggunakan pendekatan mubadalah ‘kesalingan’ yang selaras dengan pembacaan Mubadalah Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir yang terbit dua puluh tahun setelah kitab ini terbit. Secara eksplanatif, ditemukan bahwa kitab ini memosisikan suami dan istri secara proporsional terbukti dengan adanya kewajiban dan hak bagi suami dan istri. Keunikan lain dari kitab ini adalah adanya kontradiksi pemikiran berupa dominasi suami atas istri pada bagian awal dan kesalingan dan kesetaran suami dan istri pada bagian tengah hingga akhir Kitab Adabul Muasyaroh ini karena kitab ini merupakan kitab khulasah yang memadukan pemikiran dua pemikir Islam, terjadi.
