Environmental Ethics in the Quran: A Study of Semantic Analysis and Interpretation of the Term "Khalifah"

2024-08-13T05:22:33+00:00

The term ?khalifah? is often equated with leadership, referring to a perspective that interprets it as a derivation of the term ?imamah.? While not entirely incorrect, many view it as a definitive meaning. However, referring to the Quran, ?khalifah? holds a broader and more universal significance. The limited understanding of ?khalifah? as merely a leader seems to have narrowed its original meaning. Therefore, this research aims to delineate the concept of ?khalifah? through semantic analysis and interpretations from authoritative Quranic commentators. In this research method, we employ literature review with a qualitative approach, and data collection is conducted through documentary techniques to gather data from various verses in the Quran as well as explanations from Quranic scholars in classical and contemporary tafsir literature. The collected data is then analyzed using content analysis method. The results of this research indicate that the term ?khalifah? in the Quran signifies a trust and responsibility of humans on Earth to prosper it and preserve its flora and fauna. Verses related to ?khalifah? depict that it plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. This research has significant implications in the context of environmental conservation. Additionally, these findings provide a deeper insight into the importance of building a harmonious relationship between humans and nature, both being creations of Allah.

2024-08-13T05:22:33+00:00

Kepemimpinan perempuan menjadi pertimbangan dalam teologis Islam dan memberikan dukungan dalam kesetaraan gender antara laki-laki dan perempuan. Pembahasan mengenai kepemimpinan perempuan terdapat pro dan kontra di dalam khazanah keilmuwan Islam dikarenakan perbedaan pemahaman terhadap hadits yang terkait dengan tema ini. Hadits-nya menyebutkan bahwa suatu kaum akan hancur apabila mengangkat pemimpin dari kaum perempuan. Hermeneutika menjadi tawaran sebagai epistemology dan pendekatan modern untuk memahami teks Al-Qur’an dan Hadits. Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisa kembali pemahaman hadis kepemimpinan perempuan dalam perspektif yang berbeda menggunakan pendekatan studi hermeneutika tokoh Barat, yaitu Emillio Betti. Metode penelitian ini berupa studi pustaka dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Hasil dari penelitian ini menemukan adanya pro dan kontra terkait hadits tersebut karena jarak sabda Nabi dengan masa sekarang dan pendapat ulama yang memperbolehkan perempuan memimpin dengan syarat bertanggungjawab dengan jabatannya. Betti menggunakan metode hermeneutika objektivitas dalam beberapa kaidah yang berhubungan dengan objek dan subjek.

Mahkota bagi Kedua Orang Tua: Pahala Membaca Al-Quran (Studi Takhrij dan Syarah Hadis)

2024-08-13T05:22:02+00:00

Penelitian ini membahas tentang mahkota bagi kedua orang tua: pahala membaca al-Quran (Studi Takhrij dan Syarah Hadis). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kualitas hadis dan kandungan hadis tentang mahkota bagi kedua orang tua: pahala membaca al-Quran. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan studi pustaka (library research). Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hadis tentang mahkota bagi kedua orang tua: pahala membaca al-Quran yang diriwayatkan oleh Abu Dawud adalah dha?if. Hal ini disebabkan karena terdapat satu perawi dalam hadis ini yang di-jarhkan oleh ulama kritikus hadis, dan juga hadis tersebut tidak memiliki jalur periwayatan yang lain (syawahid). Meskipun status hadis ini dha?if, bukan berarti hadis ini tidak bisa diamalkan sama sekali. Sebagian ulama membolehkan periwayatan hadis dha?if dengan dua syarat, yaitu tidak berkaitan dengan akidah dan tidak menjelaskan hukum syara?. Hadis tersebut menegaskan bahwa tidak ada batasan usia untuk membaca, menghafal dan mempelajari al-Quran, sehingga siapa pun dapat memulainya. Orang tua akan mendapatkan keutamaan dari anak yang menghafal al-Quran dengan syarat anak tersebut membaca, mempelajari, dan mengamalkan isi al-Quran. Penjelasan dalam kitab ?Al-Manhal al-?Azb al-Mawrud Syarh Sunan al-Imam Abi Dawud? menyoroti tiga poin penting dari hadis ini: pertama, pentingnya membaca al-Quran dengan tartil; kedua, pentingnya mengamalkan isi al-Quran dalam kehidupan sehari-hari; dan ketiga, keutamaan bagi orang tua dari anak yang menghafal al-Quran.

The Essence of Giving Food as The Spirit of Islam in The Book "الاءطعام روح الاءسلام " by Syeh Ali Bin Ali Bin Ibrahim U'dhobi

2024-08-13T05:22:33+00:00

Social disparities are prevalent in our society. The imbalance in life and the terrifying contradictions among human lives continue to this day. These imbalances occur globally. We witness countries devastated by war, such as Palestine, Yemen, and Syria, where the inhabitants suffer from hunger and lack access to healthcare. Similarly, countries with high poverty rates like Cambodia, Myanmar, and Afghanistan experience hunger and poor sanitation. Conversely, there are many developed and prosperous countries with high income levels in other parts of the world. This study employs a literature review approach, examining verses from the Qur'an and hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad SAW concerning Ith’am as contained in the book "الاءطعام روح الاءسلام" by Syekh Ali bin Ali bin Ibrahim U’Dhobi. The book explains that Islam encourages people to help each other, have empathy, sympathy, and high social concern. As mentioned in Surah Adh-Dhariyat, verse 19: "And in their wealth, there is a right for those who ask and those who do not ask." Therefore, it is essential for Muslims to pay significant attention and care to convey and study the core teachings of Islam contained in Ith’am (charity by giving food). The five pillars of Islam (shahadah, prayer, fasting, zakat, and hajj) are the foundation of Islam and must be performed to be recognized as a Muslim. The pillars of Islam are closely related to Ith’am, making it a core teaching of Islam (the spirit of Islam).

2024-08-13T05:22:33+00:00

This research examines the role of female clerics as agents of change in modern religious movements in the Muslim world. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this study identifies, evaluates, and summarizes findings from various studies regarding the contribution of female ulama in encouraging social change, education, and religious policy. Data was collected from various databases indexed by Scopus, Eric, and Google Scholar, covering the publication period 2010-2024 using the PRISMA technique. Of the 301 articles, 40 were selected as research data. The findings show that female ulama play an important role in promoting inclusive religious understanding, fighting for women's rights, and developing progressive Islamic education. They also challenge traditional norms and influence religious policies to be more responsive to contemporary issues. However, female ulama face various challenges, including socio-cultural barriers. This research concludes that female ulama have significant potential as agents of change, but further support is needed to overcome the challenges they face.

The Existence of Islam in The Face of Homogenization in Indonesia

2024-08-13T05:22:33+00:00

A dialogic discourse suggests that globalization has marginalized the existence of religion. Religion no longer has the opportunity to address public issues. This is evident in the reality that globalization has shifted local values, including religion, and replaced them with homogenized values. Islam, as one of the world's religions, is aware that it has entered the global stage of preaching. Revitalization is one of Islam's efforts to face the challenges of the times. This article will address how Islam, as one of the world's largest religions, maintains the existence of its teachings and responds to the impact of globalization, namely homogenization. Several Western futurologists such as John Naisbitt, a scholar like John L. Esposito, and religious ideologists like Al-Maududi contribute their thoughts to this study. Using literature analysis, the author maps out the constructs of thought and responses of the Islamic community to globalization. In this context, there are differing perspectives between two groups. On one side, there are those who view homogenization negatively, believing it could destroy the existence of religion, while others believe that homogenization is not a threat but rather a motivation for Islam to maintain its existence.

The Role of Sufism Among Turkey's Secularism Policies

2024-08-13T05:22:33+00:00

This paper examines the case of religious political movements and the development of Sufism in a Muslim country, with a focus on Turkiye, a country where secularism is strictly enforced. Since 1924, the Muslim-majority country has established itself as a secular state, which separates religion from state politics. The policy initiated by Kemal Atatürk represented a rejection of the Islamic caliphate system that had been implemented by the Uthmaniyah dynasty since the 13th century. Ataturk sought to modernize Turkiye based on democratic and secular principles. Although secularism has been a long-standing feature of Turkish society, the influence of Islam remains evident in the socio-cultural fabric of the country. Indeed, the passion for Islam has been visible in the political landscape since the early 1990s, particularly in sufism movement and political party. This paper is based on a qualitative study conducted through a literature search, supported by observation of events based on information from the mass media. The result of this study is an important finding about the reality of political religion and the Sufism movement in the implementation of secularism in the Muslim country of Turkiye. This insight reveals a paradox between the politics of religion and secularism in the Turkiye state.

Altruism And Local-Based Social Cooperation in The Bagarumutan Tradition of Banjar People, South Kalimantan

2024-08-13T05:21:27+00:00

This research delves into the forms of social cooperation and altruism in the cultural context of Banjar society, with a specific focus on the practice of the bagarumutan tradition. To gain a deeper understanding of this social phenomenon, a qualitative approach was employed through a series of participant observations, in-depth interviews with community members, and analysis of related local narratives. The results of the study indicate that altruism, as a core value driving social actions, is manifested in various aspects of Banjar community life, particularly in the practice of the bagarumutan tradition. Bagarumutan, which originates from the word "garumut" meaning to gather, with the prefix "ba" (which means 'ber' in Bahasa Indonesia), translates to berkumpul or gathering. Gathering to carry out a task collectively or to help each other. In this framework, the Banjar community actively engages in social activities such as bagarumutan in events such as baaruhan or selamatan (religious feasts), pengantinan or wedding receptions, and haul (commemoration) ceremonies. The Banjar people view such events as important moments that motivate them to work together as a communal unit. In-depth analysis of the bagarumutan practice also reveals that religious and traditional values play a significant role in strengthening and preserving the spirit of altruism in Banjar society. Furthermore, this research highlights the importance of bagarumutan in reinforcing local cultural identity and maintaining social bonds amidst the currents of globalization and modernization.

Conceptualizing Living Qur’an and Hadith

2024-08-13T05:22:33+00:00

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the study of the Qur’an and hadith beyond the emphasize on the texts, in particular, among the students and scholars of both fields in Indonesia. Terms related to these studies such as living Qur’an and hadith emerge. A few of the Qur’an and hadith scholars attempt to discuss the detailed meanings and usages of the terms. Furthermore, many of them try to implement these terms in their studies. However, the elaborations related to the origin of the living Qur’an and hadith terms, as well as their conceptualization are few. Thus, this study aims to review previous literature, discuss the origin of the living Qur’an and hadith terms, and develop the conceptualization of these terms

2024-08-13T05:21:27+00:00

This article analyses the concept of “God of Perception” according to Ibn `Arabi’s perspective as an image of cosmopolitanism in his thought.

Sufisme KH. Asrori Al Ishaqi sebagai Legitimasi dan Signifikansi Tasawuf Urban

2024-08-13T05:22:02+00:00

Abstrak: Individualis adalah diksi yang tidak terbantahkan dalam kehidupan era modern, akibatnya manusia menjadi terasing dari antropologis sosialnya. Di tengah narasi yang demikian, hadir pasar spiritualitas yang dijual bebas dengan menjanjikan pil penyembuhan. Beragam pil itu mengatasnamakan ajaran tasawuf, seperti riset peneliti Australia, Julia D Howell tentang tasawuf urban. Ia tidak membedakan secara tegas antara tasawuf dan gairah keagamaan yang tidak memiliki akar pada tasawuf. Kegagalan inilah yang menjadi pemantik untuk meresponnya dengan menghadirkan kesadaran spiritual melalui para guru sufi, yakni tarekat yang sudah mapan di perkotaan seperti tarekat Qadiriyah wa Naqsabandiyah dengan murshidnya KH. Achmad Asrori Al Ishaqi Surabaya. Fenomena inilah yang sebenarnya paling tepat disebut sebagai tasawuf urban. Karena tarekat ini secara konvensional, sejarah, muatan dan ajaran memenuhi semua syarat untuk disebut sebagai tasawuf. Yang menjadi pertanyaan adalah bagaimana model sufisme KH. Achmad Asrori dalam masyarakat perkotaan? Hasil penelitian ini adalah terdapat formulasi ritual TQN yang merapatkan individu-individu ke dalam jama?ah Al-Khidmah. Kebersamaan itu menjadi kata kunci yang diinginkan oleh Kai Asrori. Rapuhnya sendi ikatan sosial yang berbanding lurus dengan semakin menguatnya sentimen individu menjadi latar belakang yang paling dominan bagi menggejalanya fenomena dehumanisasi di kalangan masyarakat urban. Inilah yang direduksi oleh KH. Acmad Asrori melalui ritual TQN yang seluruhnya dilakukan secara berjama?ah.

2024-08-13T05:22:33+00:00

Abstract: The spiritual experience that pilgrims have before Hajj and Umrah pray is an important role of the implementation of ritual. Spiritual experience has not been a commonly researched topic at this time. A preliminary study in the form of a needs analysis is a crucial first step in identifying and knowing the level of spiritual experience. This study aims to describe the level of experience of Hajj and Umrah’s pilgrims at KBIHU Al-Falah. The method used in this research is quantitative survey with instruments that have been assessed as valid through adaptation of a previous instrument. Data from the analysis of spiritual experience needs for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims at KBIHU Al-Falah Malang (n = 30 participants) showed 33,33% have high spiritual experience, 56,67% have moderate spiritual experience, and 10% have low spiritual experience. This study provides preliminary evidence that pilgrims need a qualified spiritual experience before Hajj and Umrah.

Solusi Al-Qur’an terhadap Fenomena FoMO (Fear of Missing Out)

2024-08-13T05:21:27+00:00

This research aims to offer a preventive solution to Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) syndrome, which is a syndrome of anxiety caused by the perception that other people have more satisfying experiences than oneself. The fundamental factor triggering the onset of this syndrome is the low level of life satisfaction in a person, which is further exacerbated by the temptation of other people's enjoyment of life on social media. In this case, the researcher examines two verses of the Qur'an, namely Q.S Ibrāhim: 7 and Q.S al-Hājj: 36 to explore and find solutions to the FoMO phenomenon from the Qur'anic perspective. The research method in this article is a literature study that seeks to study and understand theories from various written literature related to the research topic. The results showed that Q.S Ibrāhim : 7 and Q.S al-Hājj : 36 can be an antidote solution to the FoMO phenomenon. These two verses contain the essence of two noble life attitudes, namely gratitude and qana'ah, which are very appropriate to fight the triggering factor of FoMO in the form of low levels of life satisfaction.

Ekologi dan Agronomi Perspektif Al-Qur’an (Analisis Historis Tafsir Al-Azhar Karya Buya Hamka)

2024-08-13T05:22:03+00:00

This text discusses how the understanding of the Quran on ecology and agriculture has inspired many Islamic scholars and thinkers. It specifically examines Buya Hamka's interpretation of Surah Al-An'am verse 99, which forms the basis for the ecological understanding and agricultural practices within the Quran. The analysis aims to delve into Buya Hamka's views in his interpretation regarding ecological concepts, agricultural practices, as well as the moral and ethical values implied in the verse. Within a historical context, Al-Azhar's interpretation reveals the depth of Buya Hamka's thoughts concerning the relationship between humans, nature, and agricultural practices. Buya Hamka connects the messages of the Quran with the challenges of the time, highlighting the relevance of ecological values and sustainable agricultural practices in modern society. This analysis also explores the educational aspects and environmental awareness advocated in this interpretation, offering perspectives on spirituality and social values in the context of agriculture. Using a historical approach and contemporary relevance mapping, this research elaborates on how Buya Hamka's Al-Azhar interpretation provides a holistic view of ecology and agriculture in the Quran. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of moral, ethical, and practical values derived from Quranic verses related to agriculture. It also offers recommendations for practical implementation in preserving ecosystems and sustaining agriculture in line with Quranic teachings. This analysis contributes to enriching the understanding of the Quran's message concerning ecology and agriculture while providing a foundation for relevant practical applications in environmental preservation and improving agricultural practices in accordance with Islamic teachings.

Dialectics of Islamic and Christian Public Sphere in Kediri

2024-08-13T05:21:27+00:00

Islam and Christianity are religions that have been present in Indonesia for centuries, the history of these two religions cannot be separated from the existence of the Indonesian nation. As time goes by, the relationship between these two religions fluctuates (between conflict and harmony), in certain areas Islam becomes dominant, but in other areas Christianity is the dominant religion. National History records that several times Islam and Christianity were involved in religious conflicts. The dialectic of the relationship between the two religions in the public sphere is the key to fluctuations in the relationship between Islam and Christianity, such as what happened in the Kediri area where Islam and Christianity both exist in the public sphere. Therefore, this research attempts to portray the relationship between Islam and Christianity in public spheres by using a qualitative approach in research, while the technique for obtaining data in research uses interview and observation techniques. The research results show that religion's control of public sphere has exceeded formal and informal boundaries as discussed by Jurgen Habermas. These formal and informal boundaries are exceeded in "public values", namely viewing religious teachings in the public sphere based on the principle of beneficial value. This also goes beyond Jurgen Habermas's thinking about "Public Reason" in looking at the formal and informal areas of religion in the public sphere.

Dominative Critique of Hadith Matn: A Habermas' Critical Hermeneutics Approach

2024-08-13T05:22:02+00:00

Abstract. Dominative criticisms of hadith texts have recently caused some disruption in the established methodologies of hadith criticism outlined by traditional scholars. If left unchecked, this could lead to the imposition of Western biases, which might dominate one body of knowledge over another, or even one value system over well-established Islamic teachings. Two examples of such hadith are those concerning the age of Aisha's marriage and female leadership. Therefore, this study explores the application of J?rgen Habermas' critical hermeneutics, which has the capacity to uncover underlying dominations, to address these issues. The core aim is to investigate the ideological distortions present in hadith criticism. To address this problem, the study employs a qualitative, library-based research method, relying on information sources from various books, articles, and journals. Through the lens of J?rgen Habermas' critical hermeneutics, this paper reveals and examines Western biases, such as ethical standards regarding child marriage and gender equality standards. It also highlights that these values emerged post-Enlightenment, indicating that they are relatively recent compared to the origins of the hadiths in question. Thus, this paper attempts to critique and dismantle the hegemonic dominance that infiltrates hadith criticism, offering a movement towards uncovering these deeply ingrained biases. Keywords: critical hermeneutics, J?rgen Habermas, matn criticism, ideological bias, domination.

Decolonizing Method of Hadith Matn Criticism on the Case of Aisha's Age at Marriage in Western Scholarship

2024-08-13T05:21:27+00:00

This paper critically engages with the methodological frameworks utilized in Western scholarship concerning the age of Aisha at the time of her marriage to Prophet Muhammad. Within the context of contemporary Western modernism, which has introduced new ethical standards and norms previously absent but now regarded as authoritative, this study aims to scrutinize the impact of such norms on interpretations within Hadith scholarship. Through a decolonial lens applied to the criticism of Hadith matn, it seeks to unravel and challenge colonial biases and Eurocentric perspectives that have historically shaped scholarly discourse on this issue. Furthermore, this research highlights the contributions and perspectives of prominent figures in Western Hadith scholarship, including Jonathan AC Brown, to enrich the dialogue on the subject. By advocating for a decolonized approach to Hadith criticism, this study underscores the necessity of contextual understanding, cultural sensitivity, and epistemic inclusivity in the examination of Islamic history and tradition.

The Problem of the Authenticity The Endless Debate Between Revisionist and Traditionalist New Perspectives

2024-08-13T05:21:27+00:00

The authenticity of hadith is an endless debate between the western and Islamic worlds, mainly due to different points of view. The nonconformity arose because the study of the Islamic world focused on dogmatic ideological nuances, while western world studies adopted a more critical and academic methodology. The present study aimed to explore how these two opposing viewpoints assessed the hadith of the Prophet. The studies conducted by Goldziher and Schacht were selected as representatives of the Western world and those of Azami for Islam. Azami, a leading traditionalist Islamic scholar, had tried to counter both from an academic perspective. Furthermore, other Islamic scholars often reiterate the opinion of Azami when rejecting theses of Goldziher and Schacht. This study attempted to answer three main questions using the abductive method, namely, How do the Western and Islamic perspectives view the hadith of the Prophet? What argument was put forward by Azami for refuting the views of Goldziher? Why does Goldziher opinion continue to get stronger despite the numerous attacks

A Conceptual Framewok of Academic Integrity in Islam

2024-08-13T05:22:33+00:00

Academic integrity is vital to maintain quality standards and prevent misconduct that undermines standards in higher education institutions, including in Islamic Higher Education (IRHE) Institutions. However, this concept has been stereotyped as a western concept because the literature of academic integrity has flourished in western universities over the past three decades. This study aims to investigate the relationship between Islam and the concept of academic integrity and provides evidence that academic integrity should not be regarded as merely a Western concept but is also conceptualized in Islam. This study was designed using grounded theory. Muslim scholars in three IRHE institutions in Indonesia were interviewed to find out how they conceptualized academic integrity in Islam. The data were analyzed using content analysis and themes emerged to develop a conceptual framework of academic integrity in Islam. The study found that academic integrity and religiosity is intertwined. This study brings a new understanding that religiosity and academic integrity is inseparable in IRHE.

In the perspective of the spiritual marketplace theory developed by Wade Clark Roof, this shows the synergy between worldly interests and the spirituality of the generation of seekers.

Sufi Politics, A Study of the Activities and Political Thought of the Khalwatiyah Samman Order

2024-08-13T05:22:33+00:00

This essay aims to delve into the activities and political ideology of the Khalwatiyah Samman Sufi order. Politics and Sufism are akin to contrasting poles: while politics navigates the affairs of the state and the intricate world, Sufism gravitates towards the afterlife, often disregarding worldly matters, particularly politics. Employing a mixed-method approach, this study incorporates literature review and interviews. Interviews were conducted with the successors of the order's leadership, two members involved in practical politics, and two participating members. Documentation was utilized, as certain fundamental and significant documents regarding the order remain unpublished, necessitating reference to ensure the research's comprehensiveness. As for the findings, the Khalwatiyah Samman Sufi order regards the world as a realm for deeds towards the afterlife; thus, it should not be shunned but rather utilized for deeds as much as possible. Similarly, in politics, which lacks inherent orientation, the morality of politics hinges on the politicians; hence, virtuous individuals must engage to uphold ethical standards. The political trajectory of the Khalwatiyah Samman order has a rich history, commencing from its initial congregation of seven individuals in South Sulawesi, three of whom ascended to kingship?namely, the 28th king of Bone, the 33rd king of Gowa, and the 44th king of Wajo. During the Oerde Baru era, one successor of the order assumed membership in the honor council in South Sulawesi. Post-reformation, numerous order members assumed roles in regional and central representative councils, as well as leadership positions such as regents and mayors. According to the Khalwatiyah Samman order, politics is perceived as a tool for drawing closer to God by serving the community indiscriminately, characterized by honesty and trustworthiness. Therefore, politics represents a realm of merit for achieving success in both this world and the hereafter.

Manhaj Bayani Ijtimai: Textual and Contextual Approach to the Quran

2024-08-13T05:21:27+00:00

This article elaborates on two approaches to interpreting the Qur'an initiated by two Muslim figures. The Bayani approach was introduced by Amin al-Khuli, who was then perfected by his wife, Bintu Syati, in his work Tafsir Bayani. Meanwhile, the Ijtima'i approach is often based on Muhammad Abduh in explaining the verses of the Qur'an recorded in Tafsir al-Manar. This article uses a descriptive-analytical method. These two approaches are described and then analyzed. The results of this research show that: First, through the Bayani approach, the interpretation of the Qur'an goes through two stages: dirasah ma Hawla al-Qur'an (This study focuses on the study of the process of the Nuzul al-Qur'an, its collection, development, and circulation in Arab society as an object of revelation, as well as the socio-historical aspects of the Qur'an, including the intellectual, cultural, and geographical situation of Arab society in the seventh century when the Qur'an was revealed) and dirasah ma fi al-Qur'an (This study begins by examining the etymological meaning of the word, then looking for the functional meaning of the word in the Qur'an and examining the wording (murakkabat). Second, after finding the textual understanding based on the above two stages, the Qur'an interpretation must pay attention to the present context by considering humanist, social, and diversity elements. An interpreter of the Qur'an must know the various situations and conditions that surround the dynamics of social problems that develop. These considerations are executed because the Qur'an, as a human guide, should be able to answer all the problems of the Ummah that occur (past, present, and future). Therefore, the ijtima'i approach becomes important in understanding the content of the Qur'an. Third: The Bayani-Ijtima'i approach is one of the alternatives to interpreting the Quran for peace and humanity in the digital era.

Abstract: This study explores the role and experiences of Rabiah al-Adawiyah in the Sufi tradition with a focus on gender perspectives. Rabiah, as one of the central figures in the history of Sufism, is known for her significant contribution to the development of Sufism teachings, especially in the concept of divine love (mahabbah) and spiritual asceticism. This study uses a qualitative approach with a type of literature study to explore the poetry of a prominent Sufi woman, Rabiah al-Adawiyah, to understand how they responded to and shaped their views on spirituality in a context that is often dominated by male narratives. The research findings demonstrate that Rabiah not only enriched Sufi theology with a feminine perspective but also challenged gender stereotypes in Islamic spirituality. Rabiah al-Adawiyah emerges not only as an inspirational Sufi figure but also as a crucial symbol of women's spiritual potential within the Sufi tradition. Her contributions have left a profound spiritual legacy and continue to inspire contemporary discussions on equality and inclusivity in Islamic religious practice.

This research has limitations in conducting field study research through interviews, so this is an opportunity for further research for empirical studies in a more measurable manner. This research is recommended to put more emphasis on field studies that link gratitude with acts of corruption.

Claims on the Existence and Reconstruction of as Suyuthi's Tafsir Majma' Bahrain

2024-08-13T05:22:02+00:00

The popularity of Suyuthi's expertise as a mufassir seems to have created its own space of authority in the discipline of tafsir. As a prolific scholar, of course the reading of it cannot be arbitrary and atomistic. At least there is an attempt to read that can integrate between his works, considering also the number of works he produced. One of Suyuthi's major works is the book al Itqan which discusses ulum al Quran. In the preamble of the book, Suyuthi explicitly expressed his intention to write a book of tafsir that is applicable to the methodology he offers in Itqan. Suyuthi envisioned a book of tafsir that was considered comprehensive and could gather all the ideas of ijtihad from his books. No one knows for sure what Suyuthi actually wanted to concretize in his dream of writing the Majma' al Bahrain tafsir book, nor has the manuscript of the book been found until now. One of the main ideas Suyuthi intended to write Majma' al Bahrain was to combine the riwayah and dirayah approaches. An attempt to grope Suyuthi's ideas departs from the assumptions narrated by Suyuthi himself in his books when introducing the book of Majma' Bahrain that failed to be written, as mentioned in the preamble of al Itqan and Qatf al Azhar. This article aims to conduct a reconstruction that is expected to adequately represent Suyuthi's ideas about the Majma' al Bahrain tafsir plan that he revealed in several of his books. The methodology that tries to be pursued is to elaborate and combine Suyuthi's works (both tafsir and methodology), to find a pre-discourse on Suyuthi's wish in the book of Majma' al Bahrain that was not done. For that purpose, the researcher has inventoried a number of Suyuthi's essays that are relevant to the discipline of tafsir as many as 13 books.

Causality and His Critical of the Western Concept

2024-08-13T05:22:02+00:00

Human thought patterns and perspectives are increasingly dominated by materialism and secularism. The universe is understood as something that has no beginning, is a mechanism, and is not related to the existence of God. As a figure who criticizes and rejects Western philosophical thought, al-Ghazali emphasized that the universe had a beginning and could not be separated from God’s role. This is certainly contrary to the Islamic worldview. This article aims to reveal al-Ghazali’s thoughts on the concept of causality, his criticism of Western thought, and his solutions to these problems. The method used in this research is qualitative with a content analysis approach. This research proves that al-Ghazali’s criticism of Western cosmology produces alternative solutions that are considered relevant to answering the problem of hegemonic thinking about materialism and secularism.

Analysis of The Concept of Women's Careers According to Feminism as Well as Contradictions in The Islamic Perspective

2024-08-13T05:22:03+00:00

Abstract: The development of feminism issues over time has led to this ideology increasingly dominating the views of women in various aspects of life. The doctrine of radical feminism has shaped the social view of women reviewed from a capitalist perspective, achievement, and work ethos. The historical events of the 1970s were full of discrimination against women by church culture, which sparked a rebellion for equal rights with men. It builds a paradigm that women must have achievements and social influence to gain societal rights and capacity. Therefore, a career becomes the main aspiration of feminism. However, this affects the shift in the roles and responsibilities of women traditionally identified as wives and mothers and responsible for the household. For feminism, being a career woman is the right of all women, and not limited to domestic roles. The study examines the contradiction between feminism and Islamic perspectives on women's careers. The method used is qualitative research based on library research, with descriptive analysis and critical analysis approaches. The results of this study reveal that the concept of women's careers according to feminism is based only on the trauma of the church's cultural history that intimidates women. But Islam is based on the good and the glory of women.

2024-08-13T05:22:33+00:00

Abstract: Western culture that is full of discipline, hard work, and unyielding according to Max Weber is the implication of the application of Calvinism ethics resulting from Protestant teachings.

2024-08-13T05:21:27+00:00

Abstract: Religious moderation as a religious deradicalization program formulated by the Ministry of Religion, in the public domain, has raised concerns from several parties that it will become a practice of power and domination.

2024-08-13T05:21:27+00:00

Wiping the khuf is one of the actions taught by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as a form of relief when purifying. Meanwhile, the book of Al-Żikrā is one of the works of an Indonesian scholar from South Sulawesi, namely AGH. KH. Lanre Said. But it is still very rare to be discussed and studied further. The main objective of this study is to analyse and elaborate on the meaning of the Prophet Muhammad's hadith about wiping the khuf in the book of Al-Żikrā. In this research, the ma'ān al-ḥadīṡ approach is used by performing the technique of textual interpretation of hadith initiated by hadith scholars, namely Arifuddin Ahmad, as a step in analysing the hadith, which is the object of the research. This research is descriptive qualitative literature research. The results show that, when viewed from the diversity of narration techniques, the hadith is narrated in meaning and narrated in complete and incomplete. As for the variety of language forms and styles, it was found that the hadith was delivered in three dialects of the language, namely Fushah, Persian, and Sham, in the form of affirmative dialogue, and was classified as a sentence full of meaning and logic. In terms of the diversity of the content of the hadith, it is found that the content of the hadith is related to the issue of worship, in this case, mahdah worship and legal provisions. On the other hand, AGH. KH. Lanre Said tends to interpret the hadith textually, saying that what is meant by khuf is shoes in general, and the hadith contains legal provisions relating to the permissibility of wiping the shoes instead of wiping the feet during ablution

Supremasi Pemerintahan di bawah Agamawan: Menilik Strategi Diskursif Ruhulloh M. Khomeini dalam Revolusi Islam Iran

2024-08-13T05:21:27+00:00

Abstract: Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini was a multifaceted revolutionary figure. His engagement with various scholarly discourses, prophetic historicity, and the political realities of his era profoundly influenced him. The synthesis of these influences eventually formed the new Khomeini, characterized by a pragmatic socio-political outlook. This outlook was manifested in his mission to oppose the secular regime of Reza Shah and establish an Islamic government. Based on this phenomenon, this research aims to discuss academic questions regarding Khomeini’s strategy in founding an Islamic government. It concludes that Khomeini’s political involvement in Iran was closely linked to the political realities he faced and the horizontality of Shia theology. His primary strategy was non-military, involving the integration and reinterpretation of various ideas, including monotheism, Shia theological doctrines, ‘irfani (mystical knowledge), Islamic law, and the texts of the Qur’an and the Prophet’s hadiths. This religio-political strategy effectively toppled the Pahlavi regime, leading to the establishment of an Islamic government

Sufistic Self-healing: The Intersection of Sufism and Psychology

2024-08-13T05:22:02+00:00

Humans always desire to know themselves, know the world around them, and know their place in the world. This search has taken humanity from religious dogmas to philosophical discourse and the empirical sciences. Although human civilization has progressed in various alternatives for understanding the self about nature, the answers remain elusive. Spirituality, whether related to a particular religion or another, has been practiced for a long time and is claimed to provide answers to “unresolved doubts” (S. Haque Nizamie, et al, 2013). In recent years, there has been an increase in interest in spirituality, and advances in neuroscience have provided an opening to understand it from a more scientific viewpoint and place it in the proper perspective. In various cultures, spirituality is an important part of the belief system of the majority of society. This affects mental well-being and understanding of mental illness in terms of etiology, meaning, and self-healing modalities. It seems important for mental health professionals to be aware of how spirituality influences the mental well-being of individuals in both health and illness. This paper will outline the basic foundations of Sufism, how Sufism affects the mental well-being of individuals associated with it, and its relationship with psychology.

2024-08-13T05:21:27+00:00

Tafsir Alquran terus berlanjut dari masa Nabi Muhammad hingga sekarang. Metode dan pendekatan cukup berwarna, karena dilatar belakangi sosio historis dari mufasir. Kajian tafsir makin digemari banyak pihak, hingga upaya untuk mengkaji sumber dan metodologi dilakukan dengan pisau analisis epistemologi. Muhammad Afifudin Dimyathi adalah mufasir Indonesia yang menulis kitab Hidayatul Quran fi Tafsir Alquran bi Alquran. Dia lahir di Jombang 17 Mei 1979. Dia selalu menimba ilmu di pendidikan keagamaan dari kelas dasar hingga S3. Dari ilmunya ini dia mengajar di berbagai kampus ternama di Jawa Timur salah satunya UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. Melahirkan berbagai kitab salah satunya tafsir Hidayatul Quran. Asal mula nama kitab ini terinspirasi dari nama asrama pesantren yang dibawah asuhannya yang diberi nama oleh KH Mufid Mas’ud. Afifudin merasa tidak puas dengan penafsiran sebelumnya karena tidak utuh bermanhaj qurani. Sumber utama rujukan tafsir ini adalah Alquran. Tetapi juga merujuk pada hadis, pendapat sahabat, tabi’in, mufasir, kaidah bahasa Arab, ijitihad, yang semua itu kembali merujuk pada Alquran. Metode penafsirannya bayani. Segi keluasan bahasan ijmali. Fokus tertib ayat tahlili yang menafsirkan Alquran sesuai tartib mushafi

Tradition, Scripture, and Environmental Destruction: Transformation of Ecological Paradigm in Rural Society of Bangka Island

2024-08-13T05:21:27+00:00

Bangka Island's artisanal tin mining activity contributes to environmental degradation in the region, affecting certain village areas that have traditionally upheld local wisdom, beliefs, and cultural values. The emergence of an anthropocentric religious perspective, predominantly introduced by educated youth within rural communities, is considered the primary catalyst for a shift in the village community's paradigm regarding the human-nature relationship. Therefore, this study aims to investigate two aspects: firstly, it delves into the contextual factors that lead to the proliferation of anthropocentric viewpoints among educated youth; and secondly, it examines how such perspectives may diminish the significance of local wisdom and villagers' beliefs regarding the human-nature connection. Drawing on data gathered through participant observation and ethnographic analysis, the research identifies two main factors contributing to the rise of anthropocentric interpretations of religious texts among educated youth. Firstly, Ulama Nusantara, the Muslim scholars in the archipelago, widely disseminate anthropocentric teachings in their religious references. Secondly, emerging beliefs regard their traditional beliefs in supernatural beings as part of erroneous teachings. By framing Islam, particularly the interpretation of religious texts such as the Quran and Hadith, as a viable solution to societal challenges, young individuals have effectively instigated a shift towards an anthropocentric paradigm. Consequently, this paradigm shift prompts a gradual erosion of traditional values and local wisdom, which have been handed down through generations.

Understanding Islamic Aqidah Through the Lens of Religious Studies in Education: A Literature Analysis of Its Influence and Implications

2024-08-13T05:22:02+00:00

Understanding Islamic aqidah plays an important role in shaping the identity and values of Muslims, especially in the educational context. This research aims to explore the influence of religious studies in deepening understanding of Islamic faith and its implications in the educational context. Through careful analysis of the literature, we investigate how the study of religion can be an enriching lens for understanding Islamic creeds. Our findings reveal that the study of religion not only provides an understanding of the theological aspects of aqidah, but also provides insight into the history, culture, and social context that shapes that understanding. The implication of this research is the development of a holistic educational approach, enabling students to integrate knowledge about Islamic creeds with a broader understanding of religion in general. By emphasizing the values of tolerance, respect for diversity, and intellectual criticism, education based on religious studies can prepare students to face the challenges of the modern world with strong beliefs and a deep understanding of Islamic beliefs. Thus, this research makes an important contribution in enriching discussions about Islamic education that is inclusive and relevant to the times.

Al Azhar Alumni’s Contribution to The Study of The Qur’an in Indonesia: Case Analysis of The Translation of Muhammad A. Khalafullah’s Work

2024-08-13T05:21:27+00:00

Abstract: The return of Indonesian students from Al-Azhar University, Egypt has made a major contribution to the dynamics of Islamic scholarship, including through translation activities of the works of Al-Azhar scholars. This activity is motivated by the motivation to transmit Al-Azhar knowledge which is considered to have the opportunity to be introduced to readers in Indonesia. Ahmad Khalafullah’s work is one of the thoughts of Al-Azhar scholars that received this attention. Through qualitative methods involving literature review, this article explains this phenomenon as the dynamics of Quranic studies. Then an analysis was carried out using Kuntowijoyo’s theory of intellectual history which was seen from three aspects, namely: text, context and influence of thought. This article concludes that the translation of Ahmad Khalafullah’s work in the field of Quranic studies is considered by the translator to have an important contribution to the post-reform Indonesian context, where the floodgates of thought are wide open. The influence of the translation of Ahmad Khalafullah’s work has had an impact on the development of thought in Indonesia within the framework of a progressive thought project in the study of the Al-Qur’an as well as being used as a research object.

Exploring Digital Literacy Practices in Indonesia: A Contestation Analysis of the Discourse on Prophet Muhammad's Descent on Youtube Channel

2024-08-13T05:22:02+00:00

The publication of KH. Imaduddin Utsman al Bantani's book on the disconnection of the Indonesian Arab lineage from the Prophet Muhammad (May 2023) has elicited a diverse range of reactions, even in the neighboring country of Malaysia. The merits and demerits of responding to the contents of the book are currently being debated on news platforms in Indonesia, including both traditional and digital media, as well as on social media platforms such as Tiktok, IG, and YouTube. This article examines the public's views on the pros and cons of YouTube. The YouTube content to be analyzed was released on several channels between July 2023 and June 2024. As one of the world's most significant social media platforms, YouTube boasts 137 million users in Indonesia as of October 2023, making it an ideal platform for disseminating certain understandings and views in Indonesia. This study aimed to address two key questions. First, how is the discourse on the Prophet's descendants constructed on YouTube channels? Second, how is the response and counter-discourse on the Prophet's descent carried out? To address these two research problems, a qualitative research approach was employed, specifically critical discourse analysis. This research focuses on efforts to understand and study discourse as an element that forms power and ideology in society, particularly with regard to the issue of fighting over the Prophet's descendants, which forms a unique relationship within a discourse.

Reproducing Religious Legitimacy: Symbolic Power in The Haul Tradition

2024-08-13T05:22:02+00:00

Haul, which is celebrated in various regions in Indonesia, is aimed at commemorating the death of Islamic scholars or figures considered to have contributed significantly in the society. In Indonesia, several haul(s) are held on a large scale and involve hundreds of thousands to millions people. For example, the haul of Abah Guru Sekumpul in Martapura, South Kalimantan, and the haul of Habib Ali bin Muhammad Al-Habsyi in Solo, Central Java. In rural areas, haul(s) are held in a simpler mean to commemorate local Islamic scholars. Haul(s) are usually organized by the heirs, although over time, initiatives for haul(s) have also emerged from outside the family circle. Predominantly, the haul tradition is closely intertwined with pesantren tradition. Haul, as its literal definition, becomes an annual agenda as done by Pesantren Al-Munawwir Krapyak, Yogyakarta, in memorizing its late founder, KH. Muhammad Munawwir. This Quranic scholar not only established the pesantren but also founded a network of Quranic scholar epistemology in Nusantara. Passing away in 1942, his haul celebration becomes increasingly massive each year. As a tradition, haul is seen more in terms of ritual or da’wa aspects. This paper aims to scrutinize the political context behind the haul tradition. By utilizing Bourdieu's theory of symbolic power, this paper argues that haul is an effort to produce religious legitimacy over time. Through a case study method on the commemoration of KH. Muhammad Munawwir's haul, this research shed light on power relations through the analysis of arenas, modalities, and habitus behind the tradition.
