Abstrak: The spread of Islam in Java has a distinctive pattern, it occurs through acculturation between doctrines of Islam and local wisdom. The acculturation pattern between Islam and Javanese local wisdom has a dialogical form, or occurs by two-way communication between those who want the existence of Javanese culture with the ones who want the implementation of Islamic law. The result is the appearance of a new culture which local people accept and the preachers of Islam can convey the doctrines of Islam as well. This pattern of acculturation also occurred in Pesantren Tegalsari as the oldest pesantren in Java. The theme of Pesantren Tegalsari, especially in the field of cultural acculturation, is interesting to study because many people still do not know about the historical dynamics of this pesantren. Now, Pesantren Tegalsari was better known for the magical stories of The Kiai (religious leaders) of pesantren than pesantren activities in the past. So the study about Pesantren Tegalsari is important to fill empty spaces in local historiography in Indonesia. This paper is the result of qualitative research using an anthropological approach. The results show that acculturation in Pesantren Tegalsari is in three fields: architecture, language, and tradition. The three forms of acculturation were used by The Kiai of Pesantren Tegalsari to spread Islamic teachings so that they could be easily accepted by the people who were still strong with the old beliefs (Hindu-Buddha).الملخص: انتشار الإسلام في جاوى له نمط مختلف، الذي حدث من خلال التثاقف بين العقيدة الإسلامية والحكمة المحلية. النمط التثاقف بين الإسلام والحكمة المحلية الجاوية له شكل حواري، أو حدث من خلال اتصال ثنائي الاتجاه بين أولئك الذين يريدون وجود ثقافة جاوى وأولئك الذين يريدون تطبيق الشريعة الإسلامية. والحاصل ظهور ثقافات جديدة يمكن قبولها من قبل المجتمع المحلي دون إزالة المادة من تعاليم الإسلام. حدث هذا النمط من التثاقف في معهد تيكلساري بصفته أقدم معهد في جاوا الواقعة في بونوروغو. إن موضوع معهد تيكلساري ، خاصة في مجال الثقافات الثقافية ، أمر مثير للدراسة لأن الكثير من المجتمع ما زالوا لا يعرفون عن الديناميات التاريخية لهذا المعهد. خلال هذا الوقت ، كانت معهد تيكلساري مشهور بالقصص السحرية من قادة المعهد. لذا فإن الدراسة عن هذا المعهد مهمة لملء المساحات الفارغة في التاريخ المحلي في إندونيسيا. تستخدم هذه الدراسة طريقة نوعية مع نهج الأنثروبولوجية. أظهرت النتائج أن التثاقف في معهد تيكلساري في ثلاثة مجالات: الهندسة المعمارية واللغة والتقاليد. تم استخدام أشكال التثاقف الثلاثة من قبل قادة المعهد تيكلساري لنشر التعاليم الإسلامية حتى يمكن قبولها بسهولة من قبل المجتمع الذين لم يزالوا قوياً مع المعتقدات القديمة (بوذا-الهندوسي)Abstrak: Penyebaran Islam di Jawa memiliki pola yang khas, yaitu terjadi melalui akulturasi antara ajaran Islam dengan kearifan lokal. Pola akulturasi antara Islam dan kearifan lokal Jawa memiliki bentuk dialogis, atau terjadi melalui komunikasi dua arah antara mereka yang menginginkan eksistensi budaya Jawa dengan orang-orang yang menginginkan penerapan hukum Islam secara kaffah. Hasilnya adalah munculnya budaya baru yang diterima masyarakat setempat tanpa menghilangkan substansi dari ajaran agama Islam. Pola akulturasi ini juga terjadi di Pesantren Tegalsari sebagai pesantren tertua di Jawa yang terletak di Ponorogo. Tema tentang Pesantren Tegalsari, khususnya dalam bidang akulturasi budaya, menarik untuk dikaji karena banyak masyarakat yang masih belum mengetahui tentang dinamika historis dari pesantren ini. Selama ini Pesantren Tegalsari lebih dikenal karena kisah-kisah magis dari para kiai pimpinan pesantren daripada aktivitas pesantren di masa lalu. Maka tulisan tentang Pesantren Tegalsari menjadi penting untuk mengisi ruang-ruang kosong dalam historiografi lokal di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan antropologis. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa akulturasi di Pesantren Tegalsari terjadi dalam tiga bidang: arsitektur, bahasa, dan tradisi. Ketiga bentuk akulturasi digunakan oleh para kiai pimpinan Pesantren Tegalsari untuk menyebarkan ajaran Islam agar dapat diterima dengan mudah oleh masyarakat sekitar yang masih kuat dengan kepercayaan lama (Hindu-Buddha)

Tidore is one of the Islamic Sultanates in the archipelago which applies Islamic Law positively from 1495 until the joining of Tidore into the lap of the Republic of Indonesia. Islamic law in the Tidore Sultanate is no longer applied as positive law but has become a value that lives with the customs of the people of the Tidore Sultanate. This research focuses on examining the transformation of the Islamic law that once prevailed in the Tidore sultanate into values, principles, and philosophies that live in the Tidore community. This research was built with a qualitative research type with a socio-historical approach involving traditional and religious leaders as resource persons and a study of the existing "Kie Se Kolano" regulatory text so that it is expected to produce an accurate picture of the object under study. This research is expected to provide conceptual ideas in building awareness that Islamic law has actually become the volkgeist (soul of the Nation) for the Indonesian people, especially for the Tidore community, especially the younger generation who are currently being bombarded with various information that may be able to keep the younger generation away from the soul.

This article is a study of the commercialization practice of secret marriage in Pekoren Village, Rembang Subdistrict, Pasuruan Regency, East Java Province. Secret marriage is carried out by the community using a broker service. In carrying out its duties, the broker asks for payment in the form of dowry money for operational costs and paying for the services of the Kyai who marry off. This case was analyzed using the eyes of Islamic law and juridical law. While the method used is a descriptive qualitative research method by collecting data through reading or reviewing the expressions and behaviors observed from the speakers in the field. From the field it is described, that the commercialization of secret marriage in Pekoren Village is a fixation of the price of dowry as an operational cost that uses the services of kyai and brokers to find the type of women wanted by interested person. In Islamic law, secret marriage is a legal marriage with the fulfillment of requirements and pillars of marriage. Brokers in this case can be categorized as buying and selling because of doing business, but it is still not suggested in Islam. In Positive Law, unregistered marriage is not valid because one element is not fulfilled, namely marriage recording. In line with these conclusions, the holders of the marriage registration policy must emphasize the regulation of marriage registration. For religious leaders, should not facilitate the  secret marriage ceremonies which are patterned as pleasure.

The remoteness of Manang District, Central Nepal has resulted in continued use of wild plants to meet daily needs. Local people were interviewed during 2002-2006 regarding the uses of plants as sources of fence and fuelwood. The People of Manang have been using 16 plant species (eight trees and eight shrubs) which belong to nine families and 10 genera for fence and fuelwood. The highest number of species belonged to Berberidaceae (4 species), followed by Cupressaceae (3 species), Rosaceae and Pinaceae (2 species each). Taxaceae, Elaeagnaceae, Betulaceae, Salicaceae and Juglandaceae were represented by one species each. Among 16 species recorded, eleven species including Berberis lycium, Hippophae salicifolia, Juniperus indica, Rosa macrophylla, etc., were used as fence and 11 species including Betula utilis, Juniperus indica, Pinus wallichiana, etc., were used as a source of fuelwood. Some plants are used as both fence and fuelwood. Fence plants protect crop field from damage by livestock and wild animals and prevented soil erosion by wind. The local people of TankiManang, Manang, Braka, Munji do not collect fuelwood, and furniture wood from their nearby forest these days as they did in the past and now collect from the next village (Hongde and Pisang forest). This a good example of awareness towards conservation and forest management. The forests near their villages are now named as ‘community forest'. There is a continued need for awareness among the people about forest use and its role in the environment. Key words: Awareness; Community forest; Livestock; Manang; Wild plants.

This study aims to determine the prohibition of inter-caste marriage in Ngafan Village, Southeast Maluku, and Islamic legal views on caste marriage in the customs of the Kei tribe, especially in Ngafan Village, Southeast Maluku Regency. This research is descriptive qualitative research with the type of field research (Field Research). The data collection techniques used were in-depth interviews and documentation. The results showed that: 1) The prohibition of inter-caste marriage (not equal) carried out by some people in Ngafan Village is the prohibition of marriage between women from the Mel-Mel caste (highest caste) and men from Riy-Riy (lowest caste). If there is a marriage between these castes, it depends on their family, if they agree then the marriage is still safe, but if they refuse the marriage can be canceled. 2) In Islamic law the scholars differ on the issue of caste (equality) in marriage. Jumhur ulama said that the caste referred to in marriage is religion, independence, social strata and, descent. Imam Malik said that the caste in question was the religion and was free from diseases that were deemed incurable. Meanwhile, the al-Ẓahiriyyah mazhab said that only Muslims were the conditions for marriage. The scholars do not require that caste be part of the legal requirements of marriage, but caste is included in the category of luzu> m requirements, a condition that allows a female guardian to request an annulment of marriage if the male partner is not in the same caste. So the prohibition of marriage is not equal in Ngafan Village can be justified based on the opinion of some scholars. The implementation of this research is expected to contribute theoretically and practically to religious leaders, parties with special interests, and society in general.

Grants, wills, endowments, and inheritance are legal instruments that are often used by someone to transfer their assets or wealth to others.

Experts and religious leaders have tried everything in order to create an intimate and harmonious relationship between religious people in this famous, very pluralistic country of Indonesia. Through writings both books, magazines, journals and even through seminars and pulpits of sermons always suggest the importance of cooperation and dialogue between religious groups. Although it seems, their suggestions have not had such an exciting effect. To gain success for the realization of the noble goal of lasting peace and brotherhood among people who in reality have different religions and faiths, it is necessary to have the courage to invite them to make changes in the field of education, especially through a diversity-based curriculum. Because, through a curriculum like this, it is possible to be able to dismantle the theology of each religion which has tended to be displayed exclusively and dogmatically. A theology which usually only claims that only religion can build worldly welfare and usher in humans in God's heaven. The doors and rooms of heaven are only one that cannot be opened and entered except with the religion that he embraces. Even though such aology, we must admit, is something that is very worrying and can disturb the harmony of the people of religions in the present pluralistic era. An era in which all societies with all their elements are required to be interdependent and collect their fate together in order to create lasting peace. Here lies the challenge for religion (including Islam) to re-define itself in the midst of other religions. Or by borrowing the language John Lyden, an expert on religions, is "what should I think about other religions than one’s own? What should a Muslim think about non-Muslims. Is it still as an enemy or as a friend. Of course there is still the presumption of one religion with another as an enemy. It must be thrown away. Isn't in fact all of us as brothers and friends? Islam through the Qur'an and its Hadith teaches tolerant attitudes. In addition, the importance of reforming the PAI curriculum by presenting the face of tolerant Islam can be explained from the point of view of perennial philosophy, essentialism and progressiveness. In the view of perennialism the curriculum is "construct" which is built to transfer what has happened in the past to the next generation to be preserved, continued or developed. While in the philosophical perspective of progressivism, the position of the curriculum is to build a future life in which the past, present, and various plans for the development and development of the nation are used as the basis for developing future life. From this it is possible to teach the principles of humanist, democratic and equitable Islamic teachings to students. A principle of Islamic teachings that is very relevant to enter the future of the world which is characterized by the existence of cultural and religious diversity.

The budget plays an important role, both in Islamic political fiqh discourse and in the national constitutional dictum. However, hegemony of capitalism has implications for the low state budget that is allocated to meet the needs of the poor. Budgeting policies are considered to be more in favor of the interests of investors than for the people welfare. This study aims to explore the repertoire of Islamic law in managing the state budget in a participatory manner for people's welfare. Through qualitative research, this study relies on library resources that contain management of the state budget in the budgetary fiqh narrative and the maqâshid al-shari'ah as the main basis of this literature study. The results of this study reveal that the state has an obligation to prosper the people. In a fiqh perspective, the mandate to serve people's needs require a participatory mechanism. Community participation in assessing the basic needs of the people can guarantee the state budget plan for effective and targeted development. In addition, the basic rights of citizens regarding education, economy, culture, law and politics are guaranteed as part of the implementation of the principles of the maqâshid al-shari'ah in the management of the state budget.
