Hidāyat al-adhkiyā’ in Indonesia
This article explores the journey of Zayn al-Dīn al-Malībārī’s (d. 1522) Hidāyat al-adhkiyā’ from Malabar to Indonesia as a “traveling text". Combining historical-philological approaches with digital exploration, it maps three media regimes (manuscript, print, and online platforms) and their effects on authority and pedagogy in pesantren.

Translating Tawḥīd
This study examines how a Sundanese Muslim scholar, Raden Haji Muhammad Nuh of Cianjur (1879–1966), employed the Chinese term tapekong, referring to the deity Tua Pek Kong venerated in Chinese temples, as an antithetical reference to Islamic monotheism (tawḥīd) in his Sundanese Pegon translation and commentary (sharḥ) of the ‘Aqīdat al-ʿawām, a foundational creedal poem by Aḥmad al-Marzūqī (d. 1846).

Southeast Asian Islam
Exploring Modernity, Nurturing Tradition
The COVID-19 pandemic, from early 2020, compelled rigorous border restrictions among nations. Travel between countries became virtually impossible to curb the virus's rampant spread. All plans involving face-to-face human interactions had to be abandoned except for essential pandemic-related activities. Consequently, the scheduled leaders' visits from Indonesian Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) to Japan during this period had to be withdrawn …
Wasaṭīyah Islam
In recent years, the rise of intolerant and transnational Islamist groups has challenged the nature of moderate Southeast Asian Muslims. Far away from the center of Islam in Mecca, Muslim communities in the area of Southeast Asia possess diverse traditions within –by encompassing different ethnic groups and languages –and could live together with other religions for centuries. Accordingly, Muslim communities contribute to the stability of this re…

Al-Ḥadāthah al-Islāmīyah al-mutaghayyirah

Islam, Radicalism, Democracy, and Global Trends in Southeast Asia
In the last few years, we have witnessed tremendous events occurred on social, religious and political fields in Southeast Asia. This region is believed to be one the most hybrid regions in the world. On one hand, we see the proliferation of democracy and civil society in most of Southeast Asian countries. On the other hand, we also see religious extremism, terrorism, ethno-religious conflicts, and other religious-based violence which have disrup…
Islam, Local Culture, and Japan-Indonesian Relations
Local culture is undoubtedly a very important aspect to every nation. Having an awareness of local culture, especially among the youth, plays a great role in shaping a society and a state. For one to have an appreciation of another country’s culture, however, can be an important starting point in breaking down barriers of misperceptions or misunderstandings, and in helping to build global relationships. In support of this idea, the Japanese Embas…
