“…The application of Sharia, especially in matters of personal status such as marriage and inheritance, is essential, with Sharia courts resolving disputes for Muslims (Alimashariyanto et al, 2022;Sarib, Koko Komaruddin, et al, 2023). However, the application of Sharia varies, reflecting diverse interpretations and historical influences in different regions and communities (Rohidin et al, 2023). The relationship between Islam and the justice system in Indonesia is very important, which aims to achieve the goals of justice and law enforcement in line with maqasid Sharia (Fasial, 2023).…”

“…Critics highlight concerns about the compatibility of Sharia with democratic principles and human rights, especially regarding hudud punishments and gender-based laws (Febrianty et al, 2023;Hannani, 2023). In contrast, proponents advocate expanding the role of Sharia, emphasizing moral guidance and the promotion of justice in society (Rohidin et al, 2023). Tensions between tradition and modernity, as well as religious orthodoxy versus pluralism, shape the ongoing discourse on Islamic law in Indonesia (Fasial, 2023).…”

This qualitative research explores people's understanding of the application of Islamic law in the context of modern life in Indonesia. As the country with the largest Muslim majority population in the world, Indonesia is a unique case study to see the intersection between Islamic law and the dynamics of contemporary society. Through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis, this study explores the diverse perspectives, beliefs and experiences of Indonesian individuals regarding Sharia principles and their relevance in today's society. The findings highlight the complexities of reconciling religious norms, cultural traditions, and modern realities in Indonesian society, and provide insights for policymakers, scholars, and civil society actors seeking to promote social cohesion, religious tolerance, and legal reform.

“…The existence of these six religions is guaranteed and provides legal protection as well as assistance from the state. However, this legal framework inadvertently marginalises other religions, creating a distinction between officially recognised religions and those considered unofficial (Rohidin, 2023). These unofficial religions, as references to traditional beliefs, often come into conflict with state-recognised official religions.…”

<p class="Abstract"><span lang="EN-GB">Indigenous religions encompass spiritual customs originating from the ancestral heritage of specific ethnic and geographical groups. These traditional beliefs often come into conflict with state-recognised official religions, a consequence of modernity's tendency to streamline religion into a mere belief system. In line with this, the post-colonial view sees that indigenous religions which are repressed by the state are the result of the state's view of showing Western superiority. Indonesia bears the enduring legacy of colonialism, manifesting as negative perceptions that persistently affect to indigenous religions. One of the colonial legacies is sociological, psychological, and moral problems, besides physics and material heritance. According to Syeid Hussen Alatas in the Myth of Lazy Natives (1989), this is the greatest damage caused by colonialism because this problem hinders solutions to other problems. Indonesia, as a geographical region, has many indigenous religions, one of which is the Marapu belief in Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara. Many adherents of the Marapu faith are forced to embrace one religion for the purposes of population administration, but at the same time continue to practice their beliefs. This article aims to unravel how Marapu followers uphold their ritual practices within the confines of their traditional religion and how the enduring colonial legacy shaped local religious observances. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method by focusing on a literature review with research data sources from journals and documentary videos. The research finding of this enquiry is the exploration of the intersection between religion and society and how post-colonial perspectives have seen this phenomenon. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Objective: This study aims to determine the results of the functionalization of the 1929 Lateran Treaty and Law Number 37 of 1999 concerning Foreign Relations in fostering relations between the Holy See and Indonesia on interfaith dialogue cooperation. Method: The three levels of analysis used in this study are individuals, organizations, and nation-states. The researcher switched between different levels of analysis and, depending on the situation, decided to emphasize one level over another. Research Findings and Discussion: The diplomatic ties between Indonesia and the Vatican support their shared efforts to uphold religious freedom, particularly in Indonesia. To promote peace in living in a pluralistic society, this religious harmony involves religious understanding that respects the diversity of religions. Research Implications: Indonesia's constitution protects religious freedom. Just that the demand for a certain number of resident signatures and the occurrence of numerous acts of intolerance in various places make the elaboration in legislative restrictions incompatible with the Constitution. Tolerance-related diplomacy between Indonesia and the Vatican is a calculated move on the global stage. Similar this, grassroots initiatives to promote tolerance such as tolerance villages, interfaith events, and religious discussion are strategic measures. Originality/value: To achieve the friendly and tolerant Indonesia envisioned in the Constitution and desired by the Indonesian people, the strategic actions must be combined and further developed. The Indonesian government and its citizens are very concerned about the problem of ensuring religious freedom.
