Religiusitas Petani: Harmoni Islam dan Budaya Pertanian Banten dalam Kayfiyat Tatanen
Sebagai masyarakat yang religius, aspek religi tidak dapat dipisahkan dari kehidupan sehari-hari petani di Banten, termasuk dalam budaya pertanian mereka. Religiusitas petani tampak dalam praktik ritual pertanian yang menyertai seluruh proses bercocok tanam, mulai dari penanaman hingga pemanenan padi. Ritus pertanian tidak hanya berfungsi memenuhi kebutuhan religius, tetapi juga memperkuat solidaritas sosial masyarakat petani. Islam sebagai agama yang dianut masyarakat Banten telah memengaruhi bentuk-bentuk ritual pertanian, tanpa menghilangkan budaya lokal yang diwariskan secara turun-temurun. Nilai-nilai Islam berdampingan dengan nilai lokal dalam praktik ritual tersebut. Interaksi antara agama dan budaya lokal ini terekam dalam naskah lama Kayfiyat Tatanen yang masih digunakan oleh sebagian petani hingga saat ini. Melalui kajian filologi dengan pendekatan kodikologi, tekstologi, dan etnografi, penelitian ini mengungkap bahwa naskah Kayfiyat Tatanen merepresentasikan harmoni Islam dan budaya lokal dalam pengelolaan pertanian tradisional masyarakat Banten. Temuan ini menegaskan keberlanjutan nilai religius agraris sebagai identitas kultural masyarakat petani Banten hingga masa kini.

Magic, Religion, and Authority: Performing Magic of Kyai and Jawara in Banten
This paper deals with magical performances of two Bantenese charismatic figures, kyai (religious figures) and jawara (local strongmen). They become my research focus because both of them are two informal leading figures that have influence over the geographical boundaries. They are also well known as the teachers, the performers, and the specialists of magic who make use of their magical powers for various purposes. Indeed, they can manage their magical power for obtaining and maintaing their authorities among the Bantenese society. Because of their capability in Islamic knowledge and in magical sciences, the kyai of Banten have respectable and high position in the society. Meanwhile, because of their magical power obtained from kyai and their persevering and hard-struggle for years, the jawara’s family becomes the center of power that has great influence toward political, economic and social life of Banten at the present day.

Konsep Manusia dan Asas-Asas Peradabannya Menurut Abū Al-Ḥasan Al-Māwardī
This study examines Abū al-Ḥasan al-Māwardī’s thought on the concept of the human being and the foundational principles of civilization within the classical Islamic tradition. The topic is selected in response to the tendency of al-Māwardī’s intellectual legacy to be confined to constitutional and political discourse, while his anthropological and civilizational dimensions remain insufficiently systematized. The research aims to elucidate how the human being is positioned as a social subject of civilization and to identify the fundamental principles that sustain order and continuity in collective life. The study employs a library-based research method with a hermeneutic approach grounded in Hans-Georg Gadamer’s concept of the fusion of horizons, through which al-Māwardī’s texts are read dialogically, situated within their classical context and examined for their relevance to contemporary interpretation. The findings indicate that al-Māwardī conceives of the human being as inherently interdependent, with religion and reason serving as the ethical foundations of social life. Civilization, in his view, is constructed upon six principal foundations: religion, leadership, justice, equitable security, sustainable prosperity, and noble aspirations. These six foundations form an integrated conceptual framework that interlinks individual morality, social order, and generational continuity. The study concludes that al-Māwardī’s thought offers a normative civilizational framework that remains pertinent for reflecting on contemporary social and moral crises.

Parateks Pada Dua Salinan Manuskrip Al-Mawahib Al-Mustarsalah ʻala Al-Tuhfah Al-Mursalah Koleksi PNRI dan Surau Latiah, Kota Solok
The second half of the 16th CE then continued into the 17th are considered as the formative period of Islamic intellectual tradition in Nusantara, where the thoughts of the Nusantara scholars can be traced through manuscripts in large numbers stored in various institutional collections, both at home and abroad, as well as personal. One such 17th century product is al-Mawahib al-Mustarsalah ʻala al-Tuhfah al-Mursalah (hereafter al-Mawahib). Previously, four manuscripts: the collections of the Ali Hasjmi Educational Foundation and Museum (ms. A), PNRI A 97 (ms. B), Rabat, Marocco (ms. C), and the State Museum of Aceh (ms. D) - which is the foundation manuscript - had already been researched by the same author in 2014 for his dissertation. While this article examines two copies of recently discovered manuscripts: the new PNRI collection (ms. E) and Surau Latiah (ms. F), Solok City, West Sumatra. The research on these two copies is generally related to the codicology, or more specifically focused on the paratext including colophons and marginal glosses. The results of the study show that: first, the Arabic manuscript tradition in Nusantara has similarities with the Arabic manuscript tradition in the Middle East, even if there are differences, they are not fundamental; second, both manuscripts are anonymous, thus implicitly not denying the findings from the four previous manuscripts that the author of the al-Mawahib was Ibrahim al-Asyi who lived in the 17th century.

Purifikasi Islam dan Budaya Lokal Dalam Gerakan Kaum Padri di Minangkabau Tahun 1803-1838
The Minangkabau are an ethnic group in West Sumatra. The Minangkabau people have embraced Islam since the 14th century. However, some Minangkabau people still adhere to customs that conflict with Islamic teachings. Because of this, religious groups sought to purge the various deviant influences of traditional customs from the indigenous community, leading to conflict between the indigenous and religious groups. This led to the emergence of a purification movement, or purifying of Islam, carried out by the Padri (traditional Islamic priests) against the local Minangkabau indigenous community, encouraging them to return to the pure teachings of Islam, as defined by the Quran and Hadith.

Banten Sebagai Bandar Perdagangan Internasional Abad XVI-XVIII
Since the beginning of the Common Era, the Indonesian archipelago (Nusantara) has been part of the international maritime and trade routes connecting the West (Europe) and the East (China). Nusantara is home to three major seas: the Java Sea, the Flores Sea, and the Banda Sea. Among these, the busiest shipping and trade route runs through the Java Sea. One of the prominent and thriving trading cities along the Java Sea was Banten. This trading city was part of the maritime and trade network of the Silk Road. This paper aims to explain the position of Banten as an international trading port during the 16th to 17th centuries.

The name of Banten as a trading port has been known since the early Common Era; however, trade and shipping activities in Banten reached their peak after Banten came under Islamic rule. The port of Banten served as a link between local Nusantara merchants and foreign traders. Banten played a significant role in regional and international trade activities, functioning as a port for the export and import of commodities and establishing extensive trade networks. Trade in Banten followed a free and open system. Several commodities traded in Banten included pepper, rice, cloves, sugar, salt, textiles, and slaves.

PNI dan Politik Inklusif: Membangun Gerakan Nasional Anti Kolonial di Indonesia (1928-1931)
This study examines the role of the Indonesian National Party (PNI) in developing an anti-colonial national movement through an inclusive political approach during the 1928–1931 period. Using historical research methods and primary sources such as colonial archives, the newspaper Persatoean Indonesia, and party documents. This research reveals how PNI successfully created a struggle strategy that involved various societal layers, including intellectuals, laborers, women, and youth. The findings indicate that PNI implemented inclusive politics through: (1) establishing branch networks across regions, (2) organizing boycotts against colonial institutions, (3) conducting political education and cadre training programs, and (4) strategic collaboration with other national movement elements. The newspaper Persatoean Indonesia played a crucial role in disseminating unity ideology and mobilizing mass support. The impact of this approach is evident in the formation of the political federation PPPKI and the repressive response from the colonial government, which ultimately dissolved PNI in 1931. Nevertheless PNI's legacy of inclusive politics lived on through its successor parties, laying a vital foundation for Indonesia's independence struggle. This study concludes that PNI's inclusiveness was not merely a strategy but a tangible manifestation of national unity that transcended ideological and social divisions.
