Nurcholish Madjid’s Neo-Modernism in Substantive Islamic Movements in Indonesia
At this time, there is a stagnation of thought among Muslims regarding whether the concept of an Islamic state is still being debated or not. Islamic socio-political movements are divided into two streams, namely Substantive Islam and Symbolic Islam. Nurcholish Madjid firmly rejects the politicization of Islam in the interests of political groups that are members of Islamic parties. With the motto: “Islam Yes, Islamic Party No!”. According to Nurcholish Madjid, Islamic political power is not always related to Islamic parties. He tries to convey a more substantial view of Islam, not just symbolism. Seeing the current situation, the criticism conveyed by Nurcholish Madjid is still very relevant. This research was conducted to explore the relevance of Nurcholish Madjid’s thoughts on state politics in Indonesia by considering the current situation. Based on the results of this research, it was revealed that Nurcholish Madjid chose Islam which is more substantial than just symbolism. This has its roots in the universal values of Islam, not just the symbol of the “Islamic party” itself. If we look at the current situation, the criticism raised by Nurcholish Madjid is still relevant because, at this time, the politicization of religion is generally used to attack political opponents or increase party electability. Instead of using Islam as a moral guide for politics, political elites tend to use Muslims for individual interests.

Pengaruh Nasionalisme Soekarno Terhadap Ketatanegaraan dan Politik Islam di Indonesia
This article analyses the influence of Soekarno’s secular nationalism in forming the Indonesian state. Soekarno, as one of Indonesia’s proclaimers of independence and its first president, had a key role in shaping the new country’s national identity and political direction. This article describes how Soekarno’s secular views influenced the struggle for independence and the formation of the Indonesian state and how this vision of secular nationalism was reflected in various policies and programs of his government. In his writings, Soekarno emphasized the importance of Pancasila as the basis of an inclusive state ideology and reflected the spirit of secular nationalism. Soekarno’s vision of secular nationalism was also reflected in his efforts to advance social and economic equality among the Indonesians and promote national independence through industrialization and the nationalization of vital assets. However, this article also highlights the controversy and criticism that Soekarno faced regarding his approach, which tended to be authoritarian in dealing with political opposition and resistance from certain religious groups. At the end of his reign, Sukarno’s secular nationalist views began to be challenged by various groups who emphasized religious identity in political discourse. Overall, this article presents a comprehensive picture of the influence of Soekarno’s secular nationalism in forming the Indonesian state. Although some aspects of his political approach are controversial, the legacy of Soekarno’s secular nationalism remains an important part of Indonesia’s national identity. It is relevant in facing the nation’s future challenges.

Analisis Putusan Hakim Pengadilan Agama Solok Tentang Asal Usul Anak dan Relevansinya dengan Maqashid Syariah
The next generation of nations, which includes children, will alter the course of global civilization. Since blood links are the primary source of family relationships because they serve as the family’s “glue” and “bond,” it is crucial to discuss how children come into the world. As was the case in the application for determining the origins of children submitted to the Solok Religious Court where a husband and wife became the applicants and requested that their child be recognized as a legitimate child, but in reality, the child was born as the result of extramarital affairs marry the applicant and enter into an unregistered marriage in which one party is still regarded as being legally married to another woman due to the fact that they lack a divorce decree or a private divorce. This study aims to examine the legal criteria utilized by the Solok Religious Court judges to establish the parentage of a child and its applicability to maqashid sharia. This study takes a qualitative approach while using a descriptive-analytical strategy. Based on the study’s findings, it can be said that the legal criteria used by judges, such as marriage laws, Constitutional Court rulings, Islamic law, and the Fatwa of the Ulema Council, are relevant to maqasid sharia and are consistent with the idea of ad-Dharuriyyah on maqashid sharia, which is to protect the soul and the lineage.

This increase has also led to a more accountable and transparent student finance system. This student financial management system development also provides effective services, giving students and their legal guardians a planning guarantee for administrative expenses. The biggest obstacle in developing this financial management system is low literacy in general, especially in financial and technology literacy.
