This qualitative case study examines readaloud activities at TBM Delima, a community reading center in Bantul, Yogyakarta, as a form of literacy-based community empowerment. Drawing on the manuscript’s account of observation, interviews, and program documentation collected between March and October 2025, the study explores implementation, volunteer involvement, and participants’ experiences. Findings suggest that reading aloud serves not only as a literacy activity for children but also as a shared learning space for caregivers, volunteers, and other residents. Women’s involvement is particularly important in connecting family literacy practices with collective community participation. The program is discussed through the lenses of empowerment and social capital. Reported percentage indicators are retained as program-level descriptions; without clear denominators or baseline measures, they cannot be interpreted as causal estimates of impact contributes an explanation of how read-aloud facilitation may strengthen social interaction and learning opportunities in non-formal education. Long-term continuity will depend on sustained volunteer support, accessible reading materials, and routine evaluation.

Perspektif Islam terhadap Pluralisme Agama: Menyelami Toleransi dan Keharmonisan Antarkeyakinan

May Sarah, M. Afiqul Adib — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 13:42:09 +0700

Religious pluralism remains a subject of debate in Islamic thought, particularly regarding the relationship between acknowledging religious diversity and maintaining the theological beliefs of each religious community. This article aims to examine the Islamic perspective on religious pluralism, focusing on the emergence of pluralism discourse in the Islamic context and the differing views among Muslims in responding to it. The discussion identifies two main tendencies: those who reject religious pluralism because they consider it to equate the truth claims of all religions, and those who accept it as a reality of religious diversity that should be addressed through openness and peaceful coexistence. The article also explores the concepts related to religious pluralism in the Qur’an, particularly the recognition of the existence of other religions, freedom of religion, and respect for differences in belief without conflating religious doctrines. This discussion highlights that differing views on religious pluralism are closely related to how theological boundaries and social relations among religious communities are understood. Therefore, this study is expected to clarify the position of religious pluralism within Islamic discourse and its relevance to life in a diverse society.

Antara Mimbar dan Pemberontakan Peran Ulama dalam Mobilisasi Gerakan Sosial Keagamaan pada Pemberontakan Petani Banten 1888

Dani Wardani, Dadan Rusmana — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The 1888 Banten Peasants’ Revolt is commonly understood as a response to Dutch colonial economic and political pressure, yet previous studies have not specifically positioned the ulama as primary actors in its mobilization process. This study aims to explain the socio-religious conditions of Banten society before 1888, analyze the ulama’s positions of authority, examine their role in mobilizing the movement, and explain religion’s function as legitimation for resistance against colonialism. The study employs the historical method through heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, historiography, and drawing on Sartono Kartodirdjo’s work as a primary source alongside literature on Nusantara ulama networks and social movement theory as analytical frameworks. The findings show that the ulama functioned as structural mediators linking socio-economic pressures, pesantren and tarekat networks, and the ideological framework of jihad and Perang Sabil, thereby converting material grievances into organized, spiritually meaningful collective action. The study concludes that traditional religious authority, often regarded as conservative, can instead become a transformative force in shaping resistance against oppressive power, with implications for understanding the relationship between religion, authority, and social mobilization in the history of Islamic resistance in Indonesia.

This study examines the historical dynamics of Muslim minority communities in Oceania, covering Australia, New Zealand, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, and the Cook Islands. The central problem addressed is the lack of research treating Oceania as an interconnected region within the broader narrative of global Islamic history. This study aims to describe the history of Islam's entry and development in Oceania and to analyze the identity challenges faced by Muslims as a minority group. A critical historical method was employed, comprising heuristic, verification, interpretation, and historiographical stages, supported by a sociology of religion approach and postcolonial perspective. The findings reveal that Islam entered Oceania through labor migration, education, and transnational da'wah networks rather than through classical Islamization patterns. Muslim communities in the region have demonstrated remarkable resilience by establishing formal organizations, religious institutions, and interfaith dialogue amid Islamophobia and discriminatory policies. This study concludes that Oceanian Muslims are an adaptive group capable of maintaining their religious identity within secular and multicultural societies.
