Examining Jakarta office mosques: Islamic teaching practices and views of Islamic ideological issues
2013
This paper discusses Islamic teaching practices and perceptions of mosque stake- holders concerning the ideological issues of: a democratic system of government versus formal implementation of Islamic sharia; gender equality; jihad, and plu- ralism in the Jakarta office mosques. After describing the research findings, the paper concludes that the phenomenon of neo-fundamentalism (in Olivier Roy’s words) is growing and developing in office mosques. This can be seen in the dominance of literal and scripturalist Islamic interpretations, the importance given to implementing Islamic sharia and the rejection of democracy, a hatred of Jews and Christians and the emergence of Muslim youth actors in Islamic neo-fundamentalism. Other findings concern the influence of the Tarbiyah movement, an offshoot of the Ikhwanul Muslimin (Muslim Brotherhood), which is being felt in the office mosques studied. Learning about Islamist understandings will allow us to check its development, which may destroy the friendly, peaceful face of Islam. Paper ini mendiskusikan praktik pengajaran Islam dan persepsi pemangku kepentingan masjid berkaitan dengan isu-isu ideologis: sebuah sistem pemerintahan demokratik versus implementasi formal syari’at Islam; kesetaraan jender; jihad, dan pluralism di masjid perkantoran Jakarta. Setelah deskripsi temuan penelitian, paper ini menyimpulkan bahwa fenomena neo- fundamentalisme (meminjam Olivier Roy) sedang tumbuh dan berkembang di masjid-masjid perkantoran. Ini terlihat dari dominannya intepretasi skriptural dan literal, pentingnya menerima pelaksanaan formal syari’at Islam, kebencian terhadap Yahudi dan Kristen dan kebangkitan aktor-aktor muda fundamentalisme Islam. Temuan lain terkait dengan gerakan Tarbiyah, sebuah anak ideologi Ikhwanul Muslimin (Muslim Brotherhood), yang cukup kental ditemukan di masjid yang diteliti. Mengkaji pemahaman Islam akan memungkinkan kita mengawasi perkembangannya, yang mungkin menghancurkan wajah Islam yang ramah dan damai.
