“…Like populists in general, to what extent do the elite trust the current liberal democratic system (Barr, 2009;Gidron and Bonikowski, 2013;Inglehart and Norris, 2016;Urbinati, 2017)? From the most extreme side, what needs to be known is whether they want an alternative order in forming a new system and their conception of the ideal state (Akmaliah, 2019;Jati, 2017;Maarif, 2012;Syarif and Hannan, 2020)…”

Experts argue that Indonesia is being affected by a wave of populism, with the most prominent form being right-wing populism pushed by Islamic groups. However, despite the research on populism in Indonesia, the issue of populism and students has not been fully explored by scholars. Students have been impactful in several phases of change in Indonesia’s political history. This article argues that populist movements—specifically Islamic populism—exist and develop in on campuses. This paper aims to explain both the model and the reality of populism among Islamic students in Indonesia and determine which is more populist. This article explores this phenomenon by studying two Islamic student organizations in Indonesia, the Muslim Student Association (Himpunan Mahasiswa Islam; HMI) and GEMA Liberation (GEMA Pembebasan). We chose these two organizations because of their existence and age. This research used an ideational approach with a qualitative analysis framework. The data collected consisted of primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained through an interview process with 24 key informants, consisting of central-level administrators, alumni, and members of each organization. Secondary data was obtained from various media reports and official organizational documents. This research found two populist organizational models among Islamic students, represented by HMI and GEMA Liberation. Analysis of the two cases shows that HMI’s populism appears more moderate or thin than that of GEMA Liberation, which is much stronger and more assertive. The determination of which organization is more populist is based on two approaches: the number of individuals following the organization and the correspondence between their ideas and the practical steps they take for change. Based on the first approach, HMI is more populist than GEMA Liberation. If considered based on the second approach, GEMA Liberation is more populist than HMI.

“…Melalui "Aksi Bela Islam" 411, 212, reuni 212, maupun selama kampanye pilpres 2019, melahirkan diktum-diktum yang dikotomis yang mengkhawatirkan karena cenderung memecah belah masyarakat luas. Beberapa diktum atau slogan dimaksud antara lain adalah; "Muslim versus Kafir," "Islamis versus nasionalis," "Islam versus sekuler," "Pancasila versus non-Pancasila," "Partai Allah versus Partai setan," dan seterusnya (Akmaliah, 2019). Sebelumnya, pada pilkada DKI Jakarta, kekalahan Ahok, selain karena isu penistaan agama, tidak dapat dilepaskan dari kampanye yang menggunakan sentimen politik identitas Islam itu.…”

“…Walaupun tidak terkait secara langsung, pembubaran HTI era pemerintahan Jokowi pada 2017, seakan semakin menjustifikasi dan membenarkan atas tuduhan terhadap Jokowi yang anti Islam. Dengan dipilihnya Makruf Amin sebagai Cawapres diharapkan mampu meredam dan menghilangkan image negatif yang lekat pada Jokowi (Akmaliah, 2019) di Eropa dan Amerika Serikat, maupun Amerika Latin. Tidak salah apabila Pilpres 2019, dapat dikatakan sebagai kontestasi antara politik identitas kanan versus politik identitas tengah.…”

This article examines an important aspect that has not been widely studied in previous writings, namely the dimensions of the contestation of radical Islamic groups and moderate Islamic groups in the 2019 electoral political stage. The representation of radical Islam is represented by the GNPF-MUI which includes Islamic organizations such as FPI, FUI, Larkar Jihad and others. Meanwhile, moderate Islam is represented by Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), some Muhammadiyah and other moderate mass organizations. Behind the frenzy of "Action for Defending Islam" 411, 212, reunion 212, as well as other issues during the 2019 presidential election electoral campaign, there is actually an aspect of the contestation of the two camps in the struggle for Islam in the public sphere and in power politics. Radical Islamic groups carrying the spirit of nativism 'Islamic populism' voiced the agenda of 'political Islam' into the realm of state power through the Prabowo-Sandi camp. Meanwhile, identity political groups are still promoting 'Islam wasyatiyah' with the symbol of the Republic of Indonesia at a fixed price through the Jokowi-Amin camp. This article is based on a qualitative method with a literature study approach from various sources. From the contestation of the two groups, in the end, moderate Islam won, represented by the election of the Jokowi-Makruf Amin pair. Amin, no doubt, does represent the moderate current of Islam where he previously served as Rais Aam of the Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board. In addition, the pair's victory shows that the dynamics of moderate Islam in Indonesia are still embraced by the majority of Muslims in Indonesia.Keywords: Identity politics; Radical Islam; moderate Islam; 2019 presidential election. ABSTRAK Artikel ini menelaah tentang aspek penting yang belum banyak dikaji tulisan-tulisan sebelumnya, yakni dimensi kontestasi kelompok radikal Islam dan kelompok Islam moderat dalam panggung politik elektoral 2019. Representasi dari Islam radikal diwakili GNPF-MUI yang di dalam terdapat ormas Islam seperti FPI, FUI, Larkar Jihad dan sebagainya. Sedangkan, Islam moderat direpresentasi oleh ormas Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), sebagian Muhammadiyah dan ormas moderat lainnya. Di balik hingar-bingar “Aksi Bela Islam” 411, 212, reuni 212, maupun isu lain selama kampanye politik elektoral Pilpres 2019, sesungguhnya terdapat aspek kontestasi dua kubu tersebut dalam perebutan Islam dalam ruang publik maupun politik kekuasaan. Kelompok Islam radikal mengusung semangat nativisme ‘populisme Islam’ menyuarakan agenda ‘Islam politik’ ke dalam ranah kekuasaan negara melalui kubu Prabowo-Sandi. Sedangkan, kelompok politik identitas tengah tetap menggelorakan ‘Islam wasyatiyah’ dengan simbol NKRI harga mati melalui kubu Jokowi-Amin. Artikel ini berbasis metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur dari berbagai sumber. Dari kontestasi kedua kelompok tersebut, pada akhirnya dimenangkan oleh Islam moderat yang direpresentasi melalui terpilihnya pasangan Jokowi-Makruf Amin. Amin, tidak diragukan, memang mewakili arus Islam moderat di mana ia sebelumnya menjabat sebagai Rais Aam Pengurus Besar Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU). Selain itu, kemenangan pasangan ini menunjukkan dinamika Islam moderat di Indonnesia masih dianut mayoritas muslim di Indonesia.Kata kunci: Politik identitas; Islam radikal; Islam moderat; pilpres 2019.

“…Nowadays, individuals who choose to undertake repentance (hijrah) can openly exhibit physical transformations and actions, expressing a more pronounced Islamic identity that extends beyond the confines of private space. Bagir [5] observes that the repentance phenomenon is no longer restricted solely to the pursuit of Islamic knowledge for religious compliance but also serves to fortify one's identity as an integral part of an ideology. In Indonesia, hijrah becomes a representation of one's evolving identity, symbolized by the transition from not wearing the hijab to adopting it, and subsequently engaging in exclusive practices associated with specific groups, such as the Salafi community and others.…”

Hijrah (repentance) is defined as the transformative journey wherein individuals transition from behavior that deviates from the principles and Shari'a teaching to behavior that wholly conforms to its guidelines. Nowadays, hijrah is predominantly embraced by celebrities who serve as prominent role models, as it holds extensive societal references and impact. The main objective of this research is to investigate whether hijrah adopted by celebrities can be classified as a form of religious commodification and to examine the extent to which media construction predominantly attracts renowned celebrities. Media wields significant influence over the prominence and prevalence of celebrities' hijrah, marking it as a notable phenomenon. Moreover, within the academic discourse, media plays a crucial role in disseminating public figures' information, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of their presence and impact. This study adopts a qualitative method with a descriptive approach and incorporates the theory of agenda setting. The findings reveal that the media portrayal of celebrities' hijrah has led to a new form of commodification within the realm of religion. In general, society perceives celebrities' hijrah as an emerging trend that significantly contributes to their popularity.
