This paper aims to fill the gap in the study of tarekat (Sufi orders) and politics in Indonesia. It specifically wants to reveal the determination of the tarekat network and movement within Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and their influence on the socio-political dynamics of this organization. The hypothesis that underlies this paper is that tarekat not only has religious potential, but also holds social, political, economic, and cultural potential. Socio-religiously, tarekat becomes a medium for instilling and transmitting religious values; it becomes a transmitter for ethical and spiritual values in society. Meanwhile, institutionally, tarekat is also a vehicle for articulating social interests and power. In this sense, the tarekat figures are not only active in religious activities but also able to form and be involved in the political arena. They created undercurrents to promote democratization and even collaborated with power holders to control political agendas and respond to socio-religious issues. The 2019 electoral political contestation shows that NU has succeeded in becoming the channel for democratic forces when competing with the forces of Islamism. Next, this study also indicates that the tarekat networks, as a force that can gather spiritual and political support, make NU a socio-religious organization that helps determine politics in Indonesia. Using Bourdieu's theoretical framework of social capital, this paper shows that the tarekat movement, as a religious institution in dialectic with social and political situations, will be primarily determined by habitus, capital, and arena. In general, these findings imply that the conception of tarekat often seen as apolitical mysticism needs to be reviewed and reconceptualized since, in fact, it is socio-politically relevant. ; Abstract Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran tarekat dalam menentukan oreintasi sosial politik dan membentuk determinasi Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) dalam konteks kontetasi politik di Indonesa yang deomkratis pasca rezim otoriter Orde Baru. Tokoh-tokoh tarekat bukan hanya aktif dalam kegiatan keagamaan, tetapi juga mebentuk dan terlibat dalam percaturan politik, menciptakan gerakan arus bawah untuk mendrong demokratisasi, dan bahkan berkolaborasi dengan pemegang kekuasaan dalam mengendalikan agenda-agenda politik dan merepo persoalan sosial keagamaan. Kontestasi politik eleltoral 2019 telah menunjukan menunjukkan NU sukses menjadi kanal bagi kekuatan demokratis yang bersiang dengan kekuatan-kekuatan Islamisme. Kajian terhadap tarekat dalam kaitannya dengan dinamika politik ini juga menunjukkan jaringan tarekat sebegai kekuatan yang menghimpun dukunan spiritual dan politik yang menjadikan NU dalam posisinya sebagai organisasi sosial keagamanan, tetap menjadi kekuatan yang mendeterminasi pilitik Indonesia.

Many studies on Islam in Indonesia usually focus on Islamic movements from social, economic, or political perspective. One missing viewpoint that does not get much attention or even completely ignored is the spiritual life of the Muslim youths. This study would examine and analyze the growth of the Syeikhermania and their attachment to Hadrah music of Majelis Shalawat Ahbab al-Musthofa led by Habib Syeikh Abdul Qadir Assegaf, an Arabic-descent Muslim preacher. Unlike Muslim youth organizations that are enthusiastically active in political movements that tend to be radical, Syeikhermania plays a role in creating harmony and tolerance. They transform spiritually from Hard Rock to Hadrah music. Therefore, this study disclosed the participation of the Muslim youths in the Majelis Shalawat Ahbab al-Musthofa which is motivated by the need for spiritual protection and expressing their identity as Muslim youths in contrast to the liberal and secular cultures on the one hand and fundamentalist and radicalist groups on the other hand.

ABSTRAK: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelajahi salah satu gerakan Islam di Indonesia setelah reformasi 1998. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif, akan menjadi jelas demarkasi antara Islam tradisional dan Islam modernis secara kultural. Meski polarisasi kedua kelompok keagamaan itu kerap bernuansa lebih politis, sehingga menghilangkan elan vital Islam Indonesia sebagai gerakan sosial dan budaya. Tetapi ada tren kontradiktif dalam dinamika pemikiran dan gerakan Islam yang dilakukan oleh kelompok minoritas Islam. Di satu sisi trennya adalah multikulturalisme, gerakan anti korupsi, dan apresiasi terhadap budaya lokal yang telah dikembangkan oleh gerakan Islam sebelumnya. Di sisi lain, orientasi politik kelompok keagamaan juga semakin meningkat. Dominasi pemikiran politik tradisional Sunni turut mempengaruhi pola gerakan Islam kepada negara dan pada saat yang sama mengabaikan masyarakat dengan problem kebudayaan mereka. Islam kultural mencoba untuk meniupkan pemahaman baru dalam tradisi Islam dengan hermeneutika dan menggeser arah gerakan Islam politik kepada Islam sipil.

Taking Brisbane as a research locus, the research investigates modes of conflict resolution that are enacted in a Muslim minority area by considering the operation of Islam and Islamic modes negotiating identity within the wider society. The prime concern of the research based on the questions of how does the Muslim in Australia expresses their identity by developing the adaptation strategy as social action in a multicultural context?. Based on the questions, this article focused on the issues of the strategy of Muslim that used in responding to view and practices of multiculturalism. This research shows that Muslims in Australia have a wide variety of historical and social backgrounds. Amid Australia's multicultural politics, Australian Muslims have different responses to negotiate Islamic identity on the one hand and as Australian citizens on the other. The adaptation of Muslim in Australia then ranges from a moderate pattern, accepting a secular culture, to being reactionary as the impact of the feeling of being marginalized people as a "stepchild" in Australian citizenship.
