Urgensi Sosialisasi Pendaftaran Ibadah Haji Diusia Muda Sebagai Upaya Pemerintah Menghadapi Waiting List Haji Di Indonesia

Haji merupakan salah satu ibadah yang sangat populer atau masyhur bagi seluruh umat muslim di dunia, yaitu sebagai bentuk implementasi rukun Islam yang ke-lima. Di Indonesia sendiri minat masyarakat umat muslim untuk dapat menunaikan ibadah haji selalu mengalami peningkatan dari tahun ke tahun. Hal Ini mengakibatkan waiting list yang terbilang lama yaitu mencapai 41 tahun sehingga mayoritas jemaah haji Indonesia berada pada usia lansia pada saat keberangkatan. Berkaca dari waktu tunggu (waiting list) yang terjadi di Indonesia maka perlu adanya upaya dalam menghadapinya, baik dari pihak pemerintah maupun masyarakat. Tulisan ini membahas tentang upaya pemerintah dalam menghadapi waiting list di Indonesia dengan cara mensosialisasikan pentingnya pendaftaran ibadah haji diusia muda. Upaya sosialisasi dari permerintah tersebut diharapkan dapat menyadarkan masyarakat untuk mempersiapkan pendaftaran ibadah haji diusia muda yang bertujuan mengurangi berbagai risiko pada masa keberangkatan, seperti kondisi kesehatan, usia lanjut, risiko tinggi, dan daya tangkap yang berkurang. Hal tersebut tentunya dapat menganggu proses perjalanan dan pelaksanaan ibadah haji. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini yaitu deskriptif kualitatif melalui studi literatur, dengan menjabarkan faktor penting dalam pendaftaran ibadah haji diusia muda dan sosialisasi pemerintah terkait urgensi pendaftaran ibadah haji diusia muda sebagai upaya menghadapi waiting list di Indonesia. Hajj is one of the most popular or famous forms of worship for all Muslims in the world, namely as a form of implementation of the fifth pillar of Islam. In Indonesia, the interest of the Muslim community to be able to carry out the pilgrimage has always increased from year to year. This resulted in a fairly long waiting list, reaching 41 years, so that the Indonesian Hajj was at an elderly age when he disappeared. Reflecting on the waiting time (waiting list) that occurs in Indonesia, it is necessary to deal with it, both from the government and society. This paper discusses the government's efforts in dealing with waiting lists in Indonesia by socializing the importance of registering the Hajj pilgrimage at a young age. The socialization efforts of the government are expected to be able to make the public aware of the registration of Hajj pilgrimage registration at a young age which aims to reduce various risks during the validity period, such as health conditions, old age, high risk, and reduced catching power. This of course can disrupt the travel process and the implementation of the pilgrimage. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative through literature studies, by explaining important factors in the registration of youth worship and related government socialization urging the registration of youth worship as an effort to face waiting lists in Indonesia.

Being together in youth worship: An empirical study in Protestant Dutch contexts

In a qualitative empirical research project on youth worship, we discovered that ‘being together’ is primary quality of youth worship. This primary quality consists of at least four aspects. Firstly, community is celebrated through physical presence. More specifically, the physical presence of siblings plays an important part in the participation of youth in worship. Secondly, an empathetic and emotional aspect is essential for adolescents. ‘Being together’ in youth worship means being together in unity and trust and in equality, as kindred spirits. Thirdly, ‘being together’ in youth worship yields possibilities to cross social and ecclesiological boundaries. Fourthly, there is a theological aspect in ‘being together’ that could be described as ‘sharing faith and being in God’s presence’.

Sounding Religious, Sounding Queer

This paper explores the role music plays in ‘queer-identifying religious youth’ worship, including attitudes to ‘progressive’ and ‘traditional’ musical sounds and styles. It looks at approaches taken by inclusive non-denominational churches (such as the Metropolitan Community Church, mcc), to reconcile different, and at times conflicting, identities of its members. Focusing on ‘spaces of reconciliation’ we bring together the embodied experience of Christian congregational music with the ‘age appropriate’ temporality of modern music, to examine the complex relationship between age, music, faith and sexuality. Young queers did not always feel ill at ease with ‘tradition’ and in fact many felt pulled towards traditional choral songs and hymns. Embodied and affective responses to congregational music emerged in complex and multiple ways: faith infused creativity, such as singing practice, enables queer youth to do religion and Christianity and be a part of ‘sounding religious, sounding queer’.

Educating young people through Christian youth worship: Reclaiming space for learning in liturgical contexts

This article dealt with the relationship between education and youth worship in Protestant contexts in the Netherlands. Consequently, it dealt with the relation between Liturgical and Educational Studies. Our interest in the research project on youth worship in Protestant contexts centred on the question: How do young people, in a late-modern context, participate in youth worship? In our qualitative research, it appeared that ‘learning’ is a key word with regard to youth worship. This article discussed the questions: How are youth worship and ‘learning faith’ related? And, what are the qualities of learning faith in youth worship? Empirical results of the research in local youth worship services and national youth worship events were presented. These results concentrated on the dialogical dimension in youth worship gatherings and gave indications about the contents of what adolescents learn in youth worship gatherings. This ‘what’ referred, amongst other aspects, to the important content of ‘rules and freedom’. Respondents often valued and appropriated youth worship along the line of ‘(do not) have to’, with regard to a Christian life style, their relation with God, ethics, and doctrines. Moreover, themes in youth worship gatherings often focused on a specific Christian lifestyle, on its boundaries and its spaces. Some reflections with regard to the question ‘Why is learning faith a dominant element in youth worship?’ were given. The conclusions that the cognitive element is important in youth worship and that the explicit aspect of learning is a main approach in youth worship were discussed in relation to J. Astley’s (1984) theoretical notion that the language of worship is ‘performing non-cognitive’.
