Academic Study’s Transformation of Indonesian Muslim on His Religion: the Case of Mun'im Sirry
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This article examines the transformation of the academic study of Rekonstruksi Islam Historis by Mun'im from the book into three zoom forums, namely Cris Foundation, Esetorika and YIPC Indonesia. Mun'im's studies in the book and the three zoom forums are the primary sources for this article. Furthermore, Mun'im's decision to represent Indonesian academic Muslims in this article is primarily Mun'im's academic answer to the doubts of non-Muslim scholars regarding Muslim studies. Meanwhile, the analysis of the transformation of Mun'im's study is not only based on from book to zoom, but also between zooms. From this, this article concludes that the transformation of the study brought an increase in the focus of the study, from what was originally only on Islam as a religion of late antiquity to become stronger in Mun'im's efforts to harmonize relations between religions in the contemporary era in Indonesia. The findings on Mun'im's study provide two perspectives on Islamic studies. First, as a study, Islam becomes an open and dynamic object to be studied critically. Second, even though Islamic studies are academic in nature, the success in conveying their ideas depends on how the reviewer manages to adapt (situational attitude) to the intended audience.
