Building Intellectual Journey Towards Organic Intellectual Character

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Further study is the struggle to build an intellectual journey. Naturally, ups and downs become daily in every process. Not infrequently, constant motivation is the key. Intellectual processes need to be passed from building to testing ideas.

Masduki, a Department of Communications lecturer, and Raden Retno Kumolohadi, UII Psychology Lecturer, are both new FPSB doctors and attended the Farewell event for Lecturers and Education Personnel of the Faculty of Psychology and Socio-Cultural Sciences, Universitas Islam Indonesia. At this event, the Dean of FPSB UII also gave a memento to Mr. Djiwanggo and Mrs. Indri, two FPSB education staff who have completed their tenure at UII so far.

At the event held on May 5, 2021, Masduki shared his experience while taking his doctorate in Munich, Germany. At first, he felt confident that he could complete his doctorate in up to three years. “I was confident when I submitted a research proposal to my supervisor. I thought this was cool,” said Masduki. Later, the five sheets of his research proposal that were considered good were asked to be revised by the supervisor. According to the supervisor, this proposal is more of an NGO program proposal. “So it’s not a proposal full of theoretical studies, I mean.”

“From there I believe, my struggle will be more than three years,” said Masduki while laughing, reminiscing about the early days. As a result, after that, Masduki had to read more and study various books. “I spent time from the library opening to closing. That was the first six months of his struggle,” he said.

Quick Recipe for Completing Doctoral Studies 

Retno Kumolohadi, another new doctor, said the recipe for completing doctoral studies was based on experience. “I think the most important thing is intention: to do something good. If that is the intention, we will get help from Allah SWT,” She said. She also greatly appreciated all employees, staff, and friends who have contributed to supporting the lecturers who are continuing their studies.

Another tip from Masduki, quoting Hegel, is that S3 is like tesis, antithesis, synthesis of Hegel’s words. “The doctoral degree person builds the thesis first. A kind of proposition. Then develops the antithesis,” He explained. “It’s like a building being beaten until it becomes strong. The process was during the antithesis building period. Now, the final process is the synthesis and I’m sure this has been completed,” He said.

On the other hand, Masduki believes that undergoing further studies is building an intellectual journey. “I also underline, I like to quote the Quran Surah Ali Imron verse 91. Inna fi kholqi fissamawati … li ulil albab. So if we take bachelor, magister, and doctoral then the end is ulil albab,” He said. “Well, we read the process. This is extraordinary,” He continued.

Ulil albab is the intellectual peak stage after Ulin Nuha. According to Masduki, ulinnuha is the level of scientists collecting knowledge, discovering and conveying it in class. “But if ulil albab is a scholar. So he is not only an intellectual explorer but also a learner, whose campus walls are not enough as a locus of devotion, but also has a dedication to the wider world,” He explained. “The ones in Gramsci are organic intellectuals. Not traditional intellectuals,” Masduki explained.

Traditional intellectuals are people who are only on campus conducting examinations, said Masduki. Intellectuals of this model think about how it impacts outside the campus.

“Hopefully we can go there. Hopefully later our friends can do the same and so that our faculty can have an international reputation,” concluded Masduki.

Bagaimana Bikin CV Bagus dan Menghadapi Kegagalan

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Baca artikel pertama di sini. 

Ketahui akar Anda untuk melakukan magang. Itu tergantung pada apa yang akan Anda lakukan. Akan sangat membantu jika Anda memiliki sikap yang baik daripada hanya memiliki pengetahuan. Ketika Anda berpikir kompetensi Anda tidak sebaik orang lain, itu adalah celahnya. 

“Perasaan itu juga terjadi pada saya. Kuncinya hanya mensyukuri diri sendiri. Fokus pada diri sendiri, bukan orang lain,” kata Yasser Muhammad Syaiful, Country Head ELSA, Corp, pembicara di International Program of Communication (IPC) Workshop . Workshop kali ini diberi judul “Workshop Persiapan Magang untuk Masa Depan Global” Cicil.co.id feat IPC. Workshop ini juga bekerjasama dengan Elsa Speak dan diadakan pada 5 Mei 2021. 

Pada kesempatan itu, banyak juga mahasiswa yang mengajukan pertanyaan untuk mempertajam pemahamannya. Misalnya, Nadhira Mutia, mahasiswa International Program, menanyakan tentang curriculum vitae (CV). “Bagaimana cara memberikan bukti terbaik pada CV kita?”

Yasser mengatakan bahwa tugas kita adalah memastikan HRD mengetahui siapa kita. “Bersikaplah jujur ​​dan artikulatif, berikan gambaran terbaik tentang Anda, cantumkan nomor Anda di sana. Ini menunjukkan bukti dan kredibilitas Anda,” Yasser menjawab.

Yasser juga menekankan pentingnya kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. “Pertama-tama, Anda sudah bergabung di organisasi mana pun. Catat organisasi dan peran Anda. Bikin urutannya,” kata Yasser. “Setelah itu, Anda bisa menggambarkannya. Anda harus mendeskripsikan diri Anda dan juga hasil atau pencapaian Anda di organisasi. Jelaskan apa peran Anda di sana, apa dampak Anda di sana,” tambah Yasser. Dengan menjelaskan peran kita dalam organisasi, perekrut akan tahu bagaimana kita menangani masalah dan bagaimana kita menyelesaikannya. “Mereka juga akan tahu caramu menghadapi orang.”

Menggunakan aplikasi Linkedin juga dapat membuat CV kita lebih baik. Linkedin sudah memiliki standar pengukurannya. Buat profil yang bagus di Linkedin. Yasser mengatakan bahwa CV kita di Linkedin adalah cara termudah untuk membuat profil yang baik.

Pertanyaan lain datang dari Baiq Muthia Maharani, “Apakah Anda pernah melakukan kesalahan dan kegagalan, dan bagaimana menanganinya?”

Yasser mengatakan bahwa kita sudah harus memiliki pola pikir bahwa membuat kesalahan itu tidak masalah. “Ini yang saya lakukan, saya mencatata kesalahan dan kegagalan lalu saya tempel di catatan saya. Setiap kali saya menemui kesalahan, saya tinggal memasukkannya dalam daftar dan menempelkannya di catatan tempel saya,” kata Yasser. Idenya adalah selama Anda tahu kesalahannya dan Anda bisa mencegahnya, apa sisi baiknya, dan bikin list. “Tidak apa-apa untuk membuat kesalahan, meminta maaflah, dan Anda akan dapat menemukan cara untuk memperbaikinya.”

Di sesi terakhir, Yasser mengingatkan kita bahwa yang kita perlu miliki hanyalah mendapatkan empat pola pikir ini: tahu mengapa, menjadi diri yang baru, laksanakan rencana, dan evaluasi. Jika Anda tidak memiliki keempat pola pikir ini, Anda tidak akan termotivasi untuk melakukan yang terbaik.

Pengetahuan itu penting, Sikap adalah Segalanya

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Kunci untuk melakukan magang adalah harus mengetahui akar kita. Apa pun yang ingin Anda lakukan, apa pun yang akan Anda rasakan, itu tergantung pada Anda. Kuncinya ada pada Anda. Akan lebih baik jika Anda tidak hanya memiliki pengetahuan tetapi juga sikap yang baik. Ketika Anda berpikir kompetensi Anda tidak sebaik mereka, itu adalah celahnya. 

“Perasaan itu juga terjadi pada saya. Kuncinya hanya mensyukuri diri sendiri. Fokus pada diri sendiri, bukan orang lain,” kata Yasser Muhammad Syaiful, Country Head ELSA, Corp, pembicara di International Program of Communication (IPC) Workshop . Workshop kali ini bertajuk “Workshop Persiapan Magang untuk Masa Depan Global” Cicil.co.id feat IPC. Workshop, yang diselenggarakan pada 5 Mei 2021, ini juga bekerjasama dengan Elsa Speak. 

Yasser mengatakan bahwa apa yang membuat mahasiswa menonjol dan berhasil tergantung pada empat kunci sukses, terutama dalam magang. Yang pertama adalah mengetahui faktor ‘mengapa’ dari Anda. “Sebelum melamar pekerjaan atau magang, ketahui faktor ‘why’ dari Anda. Setelah itu, Anda perlu bertransformasi menjadi diri Anda yang baru,” kata Yasser. 

Yang kedua adalah Anda harus melakukan proses tindakan nyata. Tanpa tindakan dan aksi, Anda tidak akan mencapai tujuan. “Komitmen melakukannya dengan disiplin juga menjadi kunci keberhasilan,” tambahnya kepada seluruh peserta workshop. “Dan yang terakhir adalah melakukan evaluasi. Dan ini akan memotivasi kita sebagai pribadi,” kata Yasser. Evaluasi membuat kita tahu apa yang lebih baik dan apa yang salah dalam mencapai tujuan kita. 

Emi Zulaifah, Wakil Dekan Fakultas FPSB UII, juga banyak berbagi poin dengan seluruh mahasiswa yang akan mencoba melakukan magang sebagai mahasiswa internasional. “Menurut saya magang adalah hal yang baik. Saat melakukan magang, banyak mahasiswa akan mendapatkan perspektif yang berbeda dan juga semangat dalam belajar.

“Sungguh, semangat belajar bisa dibawa kemana-mana. Anda masih sangat muda, hari semakin cerah dan itulah Anda. Dengan magang, kita akan belajar banyak,” kata Emi memotivasi mereka. 

Kedua, sebagai mahasiswa UII, menjaga integritas itu penting. “Anda akan mendapatkan pengalaman profesional, Anda harus menjaga integritas. Dan bawalah itu dengan penuh integritas ke dalam perjalanan magangmu,” kata Emi.

Kalau mau jadi pemimpin, Anda harus membuat mahasiswa memahami masyarakat dengan KKN, dan Anda akan melihat banyak ketimpangan di sana. Semua pengalaman semacam ini akan memberi para mahasiswa ide, apapun jenis masalah yang akan mereka hadapi. “Saya pikir itu sama jika Anda nanti akan magang, Anda akan melihat kenyataan. Kami percaya melakukan pemagangan akan membuka banyak peluang,” kata Emi. 

Berdasarkan Ida Nuraini Dewi, sekretaris program Program Internasional di Komunikasi, UII, mahasiswa akan magang setelah menyelesaikan ujian skripsi.

Knowledge is important While Attitude is Everything

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The key to do an internship is must to know our roots. Anything you want to do, anything you will feel, it depends on you. The key is on you. It would be best if you had not only knowledge but also a good attitude. When you think your competence is not good as theirs, it is the gap. 

“Thats feeling also happens to me. The key is just to be grateful for yourself. Focus on yourself, not another person,” said Yasser Muhammad Syaiful, Country Head ELSA, Corp, the speaker at the International Program of Communication (IPC) Workshop. The workshop title is “Workshop Internship Preparation for Global Future” Cicil.co.id feat IPC. The workshop is also in collaboration with Elsa Speak on May 5th, 2021. 

Yasser said that what makes students stand out and succeed depends on four keys to success, especially in an internship. The first is to know your ‘why.’ “Before you applying for your job or internship, know your ‘why’. After that, you need to transform into the new you,” Yasser said. 

The second is you should have to make a process of real action. Without action, Zero action will reach no goal. “Commitment to do it with discipline is also the key to success,” added him to all workshop participants. “And the last is to do evaluation. And this will motivate us as a person,” said Yasser. Evaluation makes us know what is better and what is wrong in reaching our goal. 

Emi Zulaifah, as the Vice Dean of FPSB Faculty, also shares many points with all students who will try to do an internship as international students. “I think an internship is a good thing. When doing an internship, many students will gain a different perspective and keep the spirit of learning. 

“Really, the spirit of learning you can bring it everywhere. You are still very young, the day is rising and that is you are. By internship, We are going to learn a lot,” Emi said and motivated them. 

Second, as a student of UII, it is critical to keep integrity. “You go to professional experience, you bring with the integrity. And you bring it with integrity to your internship,” Emi said.

If you want to create a leader, you should make students understand society with KKN, and you will look there is a lot of imbalance. All this kind of experience gives them ideas about the sort of problem they will face. “I think it is the same if you go to an internship, you are going to see the reality. We believe doing intership will open alot of your opportunities,” Emi said. 

Based on Ida Nuraini Dewi, program secretary of International Program at Department of Communications, UII, the student will go to internship after finishing their final defense of the undergraduate thesis.

Creating a Good CV and Facing Failure

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Read the first article here. 

Know your roots to do an internship. It depends on what you will do. It would help if you have a good attitude than knowledge only. When you think your competence is not good as theirs, it is the gap. 

“Thats feeling also happens to me. The key is just to be grateful for yourself. Focus on yourself, not another person,” said Yasser Muhammad Syaiful, Country Head ELSA, Corp, the speaker at the International Program of Communication (IPC) Workshop. The workshop title is “Workshop Internship Preparation for Global Future” Cicil.co.id feat IPC. The workshop is also in collaboration with Elsa Speak on May 5th, 2021. 

On that occasions, many students were also asking some questions to sharpener their understanding. For example, Nadhira Mutia, an International Program student, asking about curriculum vitae (CV). “How to provide best evidence to our CV?”

Yasser said that it is our task to ensure HRD knows who we are. “Be honest and be articulate, give the best picture of you, put your number there. It shows your evidence and credibility,” Yasser Answer.

Yasser also emphasized the importance of extracurricular activities. “The first thing first, you have already joined in any organization. List down the organization and your role. Just list down,” said Yasser. “After it, you can describe it. You have to put your description and also your result or achievement. Describe what your role there, what your impact there,” added Yasser. By describing our role in the organization, the recruiter will know how we deal with problems and how we solve them. “They will also know the way you deal with people.”

Use Linkedin apps also can make our CV better. Linkedin already has its measurement. Make your good profile on Linkedin. Yasser said that our CV in Linkedin is the easiest way to make a good profile.

Another question was came from Baiq Muthia Maharani, “Do you have any mistake and how to handle mistake?”

Yasser said that having the mindset that making mistakes is does not matter. “This is the way I did, I just put my note. Every time I just put the list and put it on my sticky note,” Yasser said. The idea is as long as you know the mistake and you can prevent it, it’s good, and list it. “It’s okay to make a mistake, just apologize, and you can find how to improve it.”

In the last session, Yasser reminds us that all we have is to gain these four mindsets: know why, be a new you, total action, and evaluation. If you have none of these four mindsets, you will not be motivated to do your best.

Yogyakarta: The Capital City of Indonesian Films (1946-1949)

Reading Time: 2 minutes

On January 4, 1946, a secret carriage group containing Soekarno and his friends arrived at Tugu Train Station, Yogyakarta. Their arrival marked the move of the capital from Jakarta which had been occupied by Allied forces from NICA (Nederlandsch Indië Civiele Administratie) to Yogyakarta.

The Indonesian government moved several Indonesian Ministries to Yogyakarta, including the Ministry of Information, which was then followed by the Indonesian Film Agency (BFI). The transfer of the two institutions prompted artists and republican sympathizers to also move to Yogyakarta. This incident made Yogyakarta at that time not only the center of Indonesian government, but also the center of arts and cinema in Indonesia.

Four Key Actors

“There are four important actors in Yogyakarta as the capital of Indonesian films: the Indonesian Film Agency, the Ministry of Information, Mataram Entertainment, and Kino Drama Atelier,” said Dyna Herlina Suwarto on Saturday, April 24, 2021. Dyna speaks in the discussion entitled Yogyakarta as the Capital City of Indonesia’s Film. This webinar is held by the collaboration of the PSDMA Nadim and KNSK. PSDMA Nadim is stands for Center for Alternative Media Studies and Documentation (PSDMA) Nadim Department of Communications UII. KNSK is stands for National Consortium for History of Communication (KNSK).

The Speaker who is familiarly called Dyna is a lecturer in the Communication Department at Yogyakarta State University. She is also founder of Rumah Sinema, and NGO who is focused on youth and media literacy. She is also active in the Indonesian Film Reviewers Association (KAFEIN). Currently, Dyna is undertaking doctoral studies in Film and Television Studies, University of Nottingham.

Dyna stated that Yogyakarta in 1946-1949 could be called the media capital, because Yogyakarta was considered a safe place that allowed economic, knowledge, cultural and political interactions. Creative actors from various parts of Indonesia also interact with each other and expand local, national and international networks. Finally, the relatively stable conditions in Yogyakarta allow for capital accumulation, market expansion and distribution systems.

Media Capital

When the media capital discussed by Michael Curtin was initiated by the private sector, Yogyakarta as the media capital was actually owned by the state as the main actor.

“In modern media capital , as mentioned by Curtin, the objective is financial accumulation. Meanwhile at that time in Jogja the main objective of media or films produced at that time was politics. Recognition of Indonesia’s independence and sovereignty as well as the accumulated knowledge of the film production industry itself,” said Dyna who also active in the Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival (JAFF).

There are several films that are important to discuss in the Yogyakarta era from 1946 to 1949. One of the documentary film produced by the Indonesian Film Agency is Indonesia Fight for Freedom. This film was brought to the United Nations to gain recognition of Indonesian sovereignity. Apart from films, the establishment of film academies Cinedrama Institute and Kino Drama Atelier is also significant. These film academies has also become a milestone in the development of film in Indonesia.

Although in the end the Dutch attacked Yogyakarta on December 19th, 1948 and brought the film to a halt at that time, this era has become an interesting piece of film history in Indonesia.

Urging Women’s Perspectives in Documentary Films Documentary

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Film production requires not only technical quality but also sensitivity to point-of-view and critical thinking. Perspective in seeing an issue is also crucial for filmmakers, especially women or gender, viewing topics and film production.

A filmmaker needs to understand women’s perspectives so that, in the end, a film is created that is sensitive to the interests of vulnerable groups such as women.

“The film method can be drawn on a very personal question: What if this incident happened to my sister. Or what if it happened to my mother, or a female member of my family,” said Kisno Ardi. He was a speaker at the screening and discussion of the film entitled ‘Whip in Aceh, the Veranda of Mecca’ on Friday, April 23, 2021.

This film screening and discussion resulted in the final project of director Nurhamid Budi Sutrisno, UII Student at Department of Communications, class 2017. This film raised the topic of the phenomenon and the other side of the caning punishment applied in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam. This event is a routine discussion held by PSDMA Nadim UII at the Department of Communications.

Budi, Nurhamid’s nickname, said that he deliberately tried to take the point of view of social pressure experienced by people who were sentenced to caning. The social pressures ranged from being embarrassed in public to being ostracized and ostracized by society. “Supposedly if we used a woman’s perspective, we would not side with this exile. Imagine if our women’s families were in that position,” said Kisno, who is also a community activist cum documentary filmmaker.

So as a documentary filmmaker, Kisno said, filmmakers must present a new perspective on what we offer to society. So it is natural for documentary films to use one point of view.

“Unlike journalistic products, documentaries are not required to comply with journalistic rules, cover both sides, for example. However, journalism and documentary have something in common: factual,” said Kisno.

Kisno suggested to Budi that the filmmaker’s point of view and partisanship in the film should be seen. Even if necessary, the filmmaker must reflect events on themselves to make the filmmaker’s presence more accurate in understanding the film’s subject.

Therefore, it is crucial to understand and study the perspective of women as a form of siding with groups or community entities that are often disadvantaged. The filmmaker’s alignment with women and vulnerable groups is beneficial so that discrimination does not occur and repeat. Kisno hopes filmmakers should internalize this perspective because we have female family members and other vulnerable groups. Here is where the student’s filmmaker intelligence in working on the final project is tested.

To fast To Go To Piety

Reading Time: 3 minutes

We need to go home, return to standard. If the term mobile phone, we have to restore or restart. We, as Muslims, restart five times a day. Every year we also restart with fasting. All Islamic ritual activities go towards Eid. Back to nature. Aware of his human existence.

That’s what Didik Purwodarsono, a spiritual speech at the UII FPSB Religious Ta’lim said on Friday, April 23, 2021, through the online conference application, Zoom Meeting. The speech which is routinely held by the dean of the Faculty of Psychology and Socio-Cultural Sciences, Universitas Islam Indonesia is carried out in the context of strengthening Islam and internalizing Islamic nuances. The speech was also held to enliven the month of Ramadan and the 26th Anniversary of FPSB this year.

According to Didik, fasting is also an educational momentum. “Education is teaching humans to be able to guide their every demand. As a lecturer, there are two tests, religious science and professional science, guiding students to have the ability to be smart and wise,” said Didik. Didik explains what he means by instructions and demands.

“We have to set from the epigastrium to top (guidance) and from the epigastrium to bottom (demand),” he said explaining the meaning of fasting like a cell phone, actually returning (restarting) the concept of the human future. The first restart, when referring to the Quran Surah Maryam (33), humans should not forget the three major events, namely the events of birth, death, and events of life after death. Didik said, in the Quran Surah Yasin (verse 12), Allah revives humans to appreciate their achievements and inscriptions (alms, useful knowledge, and pious children).

“Why do we have to wait for death, because life is to make achievements, not waiting for appreciation,” explained Didik, who is also the caretaker of a boarding school in Sleman. “If we have achievements just to wait to die is a loss, then the Quran in Surah Yasin (12) states that we need to live again to receive a fair award for our achievements and inscriptions.”

So for fasting to reach Eid al-Fitr, to achieve the sanctity of human life, humans must be perfect in looking at the future, namely worldly goodness and hereafter. “Therefore, it is not surprising that we are encouraged to pray in full to get good not only in this world but also in the hereafter. The trick is to read Rabbana Atina Fiddunya hasana Wa fil Akhirati Hasanah,” he said.

It is possible, said Didik, that we only conceptualize in educational teaching about future achievements before death, not after death. “In Javanese terms, wong iman iku bayarane katah, ganjarane turah. People of faith are paid a lot, and the rewards are excessive. So we are looking for rewards and payments,” said Didik. “Have we used our budget allocation to build the house we live in to wait to die and at the same time for the house we will live in in the afterlife?” Said Didik throws a reflective question sentence.

Didik gives the example of the people of Kuwait, Yemen, and the surrounding areas educating children not only to build a decent house that is sufficient (worldly) but also to prepare for a future home by saving mosque waqf.

“The world is the grass, the hereafter is the rice, the Javanese say. If we plant rice, we will reap the grass. On the other hand, if we plant grass, we will never get rice,” explained Didik with an analogy from Javanese local wisdom. That is, if we pursue the afterlife then there is the potential to get the world. On the other hand, if you pursue the world, it is impossible to get the afterlife.

The next human restart, said Didik, is as stated in the Quran Surah Ali Imron verse 112, is to become a valuable human being.

Humans who are valuable and useful are humans who are not greedy for plants, animals, and damage for the sake of humans. “Fasting brings humans back to take care of the earth,” said Didik. There is a servitude through what in Islam is called hablu minallah and hablu minannas. Connect with God and fellow creatures.

So if humans have restarted themselves, the hope of piety is the fruit. Taqwa is a necessity. Towards holiness or human nature as a leader with Islamic guidance is a mercy for the universe.

Part 2 TeaTime: Mustadha’afun in Prophetic Communication

Reading Time: 2 minutes

“What are the manifestations of Mustadha’afun or marginalized people in Islam?” This question got interesting and not short answers. Then Holy gives a picture of the social context of modern society today with many buildings and luxury cars milling about. “The easiest way,” said Holy, “we can check whether there are neighbors who are still hungry or not, lacking or not.”

Prophetic communication is not just da’wah. “Dakwah is also prophetic communication, only it is in the pragmatic-normative dimension; worship procedures. You can do this, you can’t do that.”

But prophetic communication does not eliminate the frontal ways of worship in Holy’s explanation of realizing a just society. “In the practice of prophetic communication, if it can’t be done in a subtle way and conveyed through normative procedures, if you have to do a demo, then a demo.”

Mustada’afun at the time of the prophet Muhammad used to be usually seen from the social and economic status, for example, poor and slaves. Today’s era must be researched first. For instance, whether the beggar is in the category of the oppressed. “Today there are indeed beggars as a ‘profession’ and even richer than UII lecturers,” Holy example joked.

In the daily life of students, for example, some are oppressed. For example, among students who after college have access to work from campus with A accreditation and superior predicate, some lose opportunities because the campus is accredited C, even though their skills could be better. Well, while many are struggling, few are not. This is an oppressed, unfair job acceptance system.

In another case, Holy gives a picture of an old transvestite. “Transvestites find it difficult to get a job. In the midst of society isolated, let alone to get a decent job. Only the young transvestites are oppressed, let alone the old ones who are physically weak.” Holy does not rule out the transvestite controversy, “it’s about people who are oppressed. They need to be embraced, not isolated and even vulnerable.”

“Transvestites find it difficult to get a job. In the midst of society isolated, let alone to get a decent job. Only the young transvestites are oppressed, let alone the old ones who are physically weak.”

-Holy Rafika Dhona-

To increase our sense and recognize whether there are still oppressed people around us, we need to read a lot; reading conditions, reading conditions, it is also essential to read books. “We must develop a sense that there are problems around us, that something doesn’t happen by itself, everything is constructed,” Holy suggested to students who want to be more sensitive to the social situations around them.

IP Communication TeaTime: Prophetic Communication and the Marginalized

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The study of prophetic communication is not new things, it’s just that so far it is still understood normatively as religious da’wah or da’wah that is religious in nature such as the procedures of the prophet. The study of prophetic communication in a prophetic perspective, namely defending the marginalized, weak, and oppressed has not been widely discussed in the study of prophetic communication so far.

This prophetic communication chat while having tea this afternoon was held online via Live Instragram by the International Program of Communication Department, Universitas ISlam Indonesia (IP comunication UII) or what they call teatime. The event, which was held on Monday afternoon, April 19, 2021, presented Holy Rafika Dhona as a speaker. Holy is a lecturer in Communication Studies at UII, as well as the author of a textbook on prophetic communication which he has compiled for the last three years since 2018.

Islam as a study of science has long been studied by Kuntowijoyo, Islamic scholarship which is in touch with the study of communication has not been satisfactory. “This book is still far away, let alone me.” Holy jokes asserted that he was still far from prophetic, when he was invited to casually chat in a Teatime program hosted by Nadira and Lani.

The chat was opened by inviting people to think by reflecting on a daily routine about posting Facebook status activities. “You post on FB it’s not worship, but ta’lim is worship. That perspective has always been that way. Even though it could be very prophetic in its content.”

 

“You post on FB it’s not worship, but taklim is worship. That perspective has always been that way. Even though it could be very prophetic in its content”

-Holy Rafika Dhona-

In the study of prophetic communication, it could be that posting on Facebook is part of a prophetic effort. Holy explained that prophetic communication is not just a religious da’wah that introduces procedures for ablution, prayer, fasting or procedures for conveying messages. “In prophetic communication, science wants to be approached with prophetic goals. So heroic. Not for mere ritual prayers. Actually, in the view of prophetic communication it’s a cliché. Communication that leads from the path of darkness to the path of light. The light is yes, prosperous, safe, comfortable. It’s not just a ritual,” explained Holy.

Holy tells about the migration of the prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Yatsrib (Medina) also accompanied by people who have not embraced Islam but were persecuted in Mecca. In the Holy story, Holy wants to show that the Prophet always came with the concept of the oppressed: mustadha’afun. Communication aimed at defending the oppressed.
