Are Muslim youths in Malaysia and Indonesia becoming more conservative?

Are Muslim youths in Malaysia and Indonesia getting more conservative? “I’m not interested in concerts. I'm more interested in religious lectures and celebrations of the Prophet's birthday," one Malay Muslim youth told CNA. But while the religious conservatism wave is on the rise in Malaysia, it's ebbing in neighbouring Indonesia. Our deep dive examines why: cna.asia/49fCrd5

I had a Malaysian friend in university. While I had quite a few muslim peers (from India and central Asia), only he used to follow the 5 times a day prayer rule and go to the prayer room. He even used to check his watch every time. Funnily enough, the Arab students never followed this😂. I found it interesting. By the way, this was in Dubai.

These people are following a faith based on their convenient assumptions and interpretations of the Islamic faith. Thats why it varies greatly from country to country. Those who follow it to a 'T' end up becoming Fundamentalists/Extremists. Yet we cannot stop them from believing in the faith since that would be depriving them of their right to practice their faith. Indonesia is lucky they still have the Pancasila. Malaysia is not so lucky because there was a sinister member from Pakistan during the crafting of the Malaysian Constitution who compelled the rest to insert the mention of the Islamic faith at the eleventh hour. Unless the Federation of Malaysia is dismantled, it is impossible to re-do the Constitution to turn it secular to save the people.

There is a wide spectre of muslim youths in both countries, they're not all the same.

Lagian agama itu bukan ajang balapan, dan yang bisa memberi hidayah itu Tuhan. Jadi kenapa harus takut? Negara sekuler dan liberal terbesar di dunia sekelas Amerika saja penganut agama islamnya semakin bertambah. Sekali lagi agama itu urusan manusia dan Allah.

That was not organic; that was manufactured.

Unlike US-backed-(fake)-"Islamist" Suharto, Sukarno was an ethical and moral person who tried to create a just economy and just social policies.

Indonesia have seen what excessive religionism has affected their political lives that they are no longer seen more conservative and become towards liberal. Malaysia on the other hand, is still relatively new on grasping how excessive religionism will affect their political lives. Both countries lived in the safe religious bubble sphere. The difference: Indonesia burst first and now is trying to create a new ideological or political safe sphere, that they do not want to rely on religion anymore.

Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar said he was sticking to "my customs and traditions as a Malay because I'm born Malay". "If there are some of you who wish to be an Arab and practise Arab culture, and do not wish to follow our Malay customs and traditions, that is up to you. "I also welcome you to live in Saudi Arabia.

This is how the westerner put emphasize their idea into our local mindset. They put a narrative that if people tend to be more into religious value then they considered conservative, and it is one step to say it will become extremist and finally become terrorist. They think we the eastern people are stupid and easy to be poison by their words. The reality is that it shows how progress of nation would never left the religion value. The westerner always thought if they make a nation more progresive, they wil become more loose of their faith because they think science oppose to religion teachings. It just show how they got it wrong, in malaysia, the more people espcially muslim, when they learn more, become progresive, become more richer, they tend to be more good muslim which westerner think it is conservative. This is all because of knowledge, education, because islam asked it follower to seek knowledge, to learn about the world and afterworld, so when we learn more then we realise why Allah SWT send us to earth, and living in this world is just a small part/journey whereby the goal is the akhirah....

This observation of Indonesia is a bit off, Indonesian youth are also increasingly conservative but in different ways, while the muslim youths of Malaysia are socially more activist in their conservatism, and tend to more radicalized, meaning they would likely to actively oppose unislamic behavior whenever they can, Muslims youth in Indonesia are(at least most of them, especially in java island) keeping it for themselves, they pray more(5times a day), muslimah(female muslim) wearing hijab more, halal everything, changing "unislamic" cultural practices to suit the sharia, etc. But they tend to follow and support Islamic clerics, ullema, and ustadz that are easy-going, modern-minded, tolerant and moderate, they also avoid any contents that uses Islam as political tools, even I, an atheist(former muslim/a murtad) is much more comfortable hanging out with my religious friends(they rarely skip 5times prayers), rather than my family, because they never talk about religion, unlike the older generation, they more mindful and sensitive about that subject. Also, unlike malaysia where muslim is stereotypically "malay", in Indonesia that's not the case, so the muslim can't simply "unite under 1way or sentiment" A and B might be Muslim, but they eat different foods for iftar and shahoor, A maybe eat sweeter foods, B maybe eat spicier foods, and that's just food, how about the mindset? It's simple, Indonesian youth are Religiously Conservative, Socially moderate-liberal. And Indonesia also have larger population so she automatically have more liberal-minded and non-muslim demographics.

In my personal experience, I find more relevance in religion. When there are conflicting values around, I find that my religion offers me strong ground to justify my moral and ethical viewpoint. Another contributing factors I think because many religious institutions such as dawah community and mosque start exploring broader topics in their sermons or preaches. It may include social, political, and ecological discussions that resonate with our daily experiences. For instance, my community put emphasis on eco-consciousness rooted in Islam. I think the notion of conservatism can be viewed in a more positive manner. As long as we still put respect towards other religious communities.

The common thread among the people interviewed (and what I believe is mostly true) is that youths follow INFLUENCERS on social media. Politics do not 'influence' the masses as well as religion. Especially in non-secular countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, religion is a backbone of their society; therefore, they are more familiar with it, albeit without the best context in some cases, and that's how religion prosper where politics don't. But let's be real, youths aren't the only group that are easily influenced by religion. Boomers and beyond are as well - that's how the culture is set up in the first place.

Menurut saya, Politik dan Kekonservatifan dalam beragama (khususnya islam) memang akan saling kait-mengait. Apabila di suatu negara aliran politiknya masih mendudukkan antara Islam vs non-Islam, dan persaingan kedua kubu ini sangat kuat, maka masyarakatnya akan cenderung menjadi lebih konservatif karena didorong oleh usaha sejumlah pihak untuk memenangkan kubu yang lebih islami. Sebelumnya indonesia juga mengalami politik "identitas" beberapa waktu lalu, namun hal tersebut menjadi ujian bagi bangsa Indonesia dan akhirnya rakyat dan pemerintah sadar bahwa para politisi lah yang menjadi biang kerok dari persoalan tersebut. Akhirnya, rakyat tidak lagi mendukung orang-orang atau politisi yang "radikal" atau "penjual agama", karena mereka inilah orang yang bisa memecah belah rakyat. Hal itu alhamdulillah didukung juga oleh pemerintah dimana pemerintah melakukan "tindakan" seperti pelarangan organisasi agama seperti Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) yg mengosong Khilafah, juga organisasi masyarakat seperti Front Pembela Islam (FPI). Mungkin Indonesia bersyukur karena Pemerintahnya dan Tentaranya tetap menjaga keutuhan bangsa dan menjadi penjaga kesatuan dan persatuan bangsa.

Such muslim are conservative in nature they lost their identity 😢

[@emmaleeaman1110]

From the perspective of Islam & Islamic learning, it’s important the “preachers” have real training in Qur’an, and teach a “middle path” and “Unity in diversity”, which is what the Qur’an teaches. The core teachings of the Qur’an and therefore Islam are balance, Justice, peace, love, mercy, freedom, Unity, being the best human being you can be, serving God by serving all of God’s Creation. If someone is “preaching” anything they claim to be Islam which goes against those core values of the Qur’an, it is from themselves, not from Islam. As Muslims we have to study our own religion from our holy book the Qur’an in order to make sure no one else confuses you or teach you false things that are not in alignment with Qur’an. We have this problem in the USA as well, people such as Nouman Ali Khan who are not even Islamic scholars, they have no real training in Islam, but just call themselves “Islamic preacher” and are popular public speaker, then spreading radicalized ideas and using his popularity to sexually harass women who are his fan-base, which is absolutely condemned in Islam to sexually harass or abuse anyone in any way. We have to know the difference between the true Islam from our holy book the Qur’an versus what is the behavior of flawed human beings and what they say or do not being in alignment with Islam. Qur’an itself says “to you your religion, and to me mine” and also says “there is no compulsion in religion” - meaning, Allah gives agency to every human being to choose for themselves what religion they want to practice (or none), it is between that person and God only, and as Muslims we only have to show to every human being (and to all living beings) respect and kindness. As young Muslims we need to know our religion well straight from the source - Qur’an and Sahih Hadith - not from social media. The authentic Islam is about respect, balance, Justice, peace, love, mercy, freedom, kindness, care for the Earth, care for all people, putting our ego in check, living moderately, serving God through serving all human beings no matter their ethnicity or religion, being sincere and truthful, developing our good character and beautiful manners.
