Love of God is a doctrine that’s very popular either in Sufism or the Catholic Church. Women who believe in this doctrine tend to hand over all their life and their love to God, ignoring their worldly life along with the happiness. Love of God is the highest stage in the spiritual way of Sufism, and also of the Catholic’s. Love of God is a loyalty vow that could not be fulfilled except by some one who sincerely leaves his/her personal life in order to become the attendant of God. In the Sufism circle, Rabi’ah al-Adawiyah was the first woman who introduced this doctrine and Mother Teresa was one of the Catholic women who succeeded in her life showing the holy love to God. By using the theories of semiotic, this writing revealed the deep meanings of Adawiyah’s poetries and Teresa’s utterences which were impossible for them to be be understood normally. The interpretation could be carried out firstly by knowing the life of the two women through library research, and continued then by knowing the character both women. The results of this research reveals both women chose God as the only purpose of life, although they have different implementations. Rabi’ah expressed her love through her personal spirituality and otherwise Teresa through social attitudes.

Since long time ago, pondok pesantren (islamic boarding school) has been considered as a moderate institution. It also gives priority to peaceful ways in dealing with conflict. Unfortunately, such known attitude is now being strongly questioned due to some vested interests found in the pesantren community. The various motives in religions, politics,economics, social, etc among the people lead pesantren to be vulnerable to conflict. Using qualitative method, this article intended to explore the mindset, characters, and attitudes of the people in pesantren in dealing with various “ikhtilaf” (disputes) that later used as means to portray peace cultures in the pesantren. The findings of the research showed that both pesantrens (Nurul Ummah and Ar-Romli) had never been in serious external conflict. Nevertheles, they had applied the principles of peace cultures well.

This research aims to identify the scope of religious sermons and materials in different mosques in Solo, and identify multicultural and anti-multicultral aspects presented in sermons. Using qualitative method and content analysis, the research found the following conclusions: First, the diversity of communities—ethnic, cultural, or religious—has received little attention from the preacher at various mosques and majelis taklim. Second, in addition to multicultural values, sermons and religious lectures contains some values of anti-multicultural, such as prejudice and stereotypes against other groups, particularly in relation to the non-Muslim and western countries. Third, the sermons material and religious lectures implied the intensity of purification. Along with the movement, religious preaching implied resistance to local culture (Java), which is considered as the main source of religious impurity. Finally, the development trend of Islam in Solo implies religious radicalization as reflected in hostility towards the local culture, foreigners and non-Muslims.
