“…The rise of traditional ulama then has implications for the formation of intolerance to intra-religious minority groups. In its development, intolerance was awakened because of the state's support (Nirzalin & Febriandi, 2022). He most recent case was the issuance of a policy from the Bireueun Regency Government that prohibits the construction of Muhammadiyah mosques in Samalanga (Lintas Nasional, 2022).…”

This article discussed the relationship between ulama and politics in three types of elite Islamic leadership in Indonesia: Teungku in Aceh, Tuan guru in Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat, and Kiai in Java. The research was organized based on the central questions; what was the political role of Teungku, Tuan guru, and Kiai, and what was their authority in the dynamics of local and national politics? This research used qualitative methods with an ethnographic approach. Data was collected through direct observation, interviews, review of written sources, and documentation data. This article found that Teungku, Tuan guru, and Kiai, in addition to being religious elites, also played the role of political elites. With the capital of religious authority at their disposal, they were confident to engage in practical politics. Teungku in Aceh was actively involved in redefining the narrative of the Acehnese nation by promoting the formalization of Islamic Sharia through a policy of special autonomy. With this policy, Teungku's position became more substantial and strategic politically and religiously. While in Lombok, Tuan guru became a local strongman who seized legislative and executive power in Nusa Tenggara Barat. They succeeded in seizing local power from the Sasak aristocratic circles. Meanwhile, Kiai in Java appeared to color Indonesia's discourse and political system from the beginning. Nevertheless, they managed to become part of the power in national leadership history. The relationship of the three religious elites to politics was ultimately in line with the strengthening of authority, religious traditions, and religious institutions.

“…The political need based on the Muslim masses parallels the need for Islamic Education Institutions to carry out transformations. This marks and becomes the main characteristic, the occurrence of paradigmatic changes, changes in relations, and even the shift of the LPI to a new direction in the context of its relationship with power (Nirzalin & Febriandi, 2022).…”

Islamic Education Institutions (LPI) were born with different characters and ideologies from Dutch and Japanese educational institutions. This difference is still maintained even though Indonesia has declared itself independent. Only later in the reform era did the dynamics of the relationship between LPI and government power change. This study then examines changes in the relationship between the LPI and political power after the Reformation. This research will be carried out using qualitative methods and a historiographical approach. Researchers will use data on Indonesia’s social, political, and religious situation from when the Dutch colonized Indonesia until the temporary Indonesian period. This research then found a new change in the political movement of Islamic education in Indonesia in 1998. In this change, various Islamic educational institutions began to enter the political context and fill multiple positions in the government. Islamic educational institutions started to transform and become part of political power, which marked a paradigmatic change in the politics of Islamic education.

“…Relasi antar umat beragama di Indonesia menuntut banyak perhatian (Afdillah & Maarif, 2021;Nirzalin & Febriandi, 2022). Keragaman keagamaan berkelindan dengan isu identitas, ekonomi, dan politik berujung pada penggunaan identitas keagamaan sebagai alat politik untuk meraih kekuasaan (Supratikno, 2019).…”

Religious community relations in Indonesia require much attention as religious identity is frequently used to gain political power. One of the issues that is frequently politicised is the establishment of places of worship. The interrelationships of various groups that unite their power to become a force in legitimising the rejection of the establishment of places of worship must be investigated further. This study employed the Discourse Network Analysis technique to describe the discourse in the news reporting on establishing a church in Palembang. Twenty-five news stories from thirteen Palembang news portals were investigated, analysed using DNA and visualised using Visone. The findings show that various groups are involved, including church-building committees, community organisations, religious organisations, cultural organisations, political parties, and government institutions. The common argument is that the construction of houses of worship must be halted because it does not follow procedures. Political parties are central to this network. This implies that the relevant stakeholders could not keep the conflict out of politics. Meanwhile, the absence of parties who should have been present to maintain tolerance is an important entry point to ensure this does not happen again.
