Abstract

This study examines the practice of small-scale betting in football matches among Muslim supporters by analyzing the interpretation of Qur’an Surah Al-Māidah verses 90–91 on the prohibition of maysir. The study is motivated by the widespread assumption that minor betting in football and futsal games is merely entertainment and does not constitute serious gambling. This research aims to analyze the forms, motives, and moral implications of small-scale betting from the perspective of Qur’anic interpretation. The study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach through interviews with six Muslim informants who had experience participating in betting during football matches. The findings show that betting practices are influenced by economic motives, entertainment, peer influence, and the desire to increase enthusiasm during games. However, these practices also generate negative impacts, including conflict, emotional tension, declining sportsmanship, and feelings of guilt. Based on the interpretations of Ibn Kathir, Ath-Tabari, and Quraish Shihab, all forms of gambling, including small-scale betting, are categorized as maysir because they contain speculation and unlawful gain. Therefore, small-scale betting in football matches contradicts Islamic values and contributes to the decline of Muslim moral conduct.

Abstract

The concept of wasaṭiyyah in Islam is a central issue relevant in responding to contemporary religious extremism phenomena such as radicalism, intolerance, and religion-based violence. Muḥammad ‘Abduh’s Tafsīr al-Manār, continued by Rasyīd Riḍā, presents rational-reformist thinking that emphasizes balance, justice, and openness, so that it can be positioned as a theoretical and practical framework for understanding Islamic moderation. This study aims to examine the idea of ​​wasaṭiyyah in Tafsīr al-Manār and outline its contribution to addressing contemporary religious extremism. The method used is a qualitative approach with a literature study approach through content analysis of the tafsir text and related literature. The results of this study indicate that the concept of wasaṭiyyah in Tafsīr al-Manār is built on three foundations: a rational understanding of the revealed text while taking into account the social context, an emphasis on social justice and human brotherhood, and a rejection of both excessive attitudes (ifrāṭ) and neglect (tafrīṭ) in religion. The relevance of this concept is evident in its ability to correct the ideology of takfir, encourage interfaith dialogue, strengthen national commitment, and affirm Islam as a religion that aligns with universal humanitarian values. This study contributes by offering a new perspective on interpretation-based counter-extremism, which makes wasaṭiyyah not only a theological idea, but also a strategic, practical paradigm in affirming Islamic moderation amidst global challenges.

Abstract

This study examines the factors underlying Prophet Ayyub’s success in enduring severe trials based on Ibn Kathir’s interpretation of Surah Shad verses 41–44 and explores their relevance to contemporary Muslim life. Previous studies have generally focused on patience, moral education, and psychological resilience, while the interrelationship between supplication, obedience, and the quality of awwab has received limited attention. This study employed a qualitative, descriptive-analytical library research design using the tahlili method of Qur’anic interpretation. The primary sources were the Qur’an, particularly Surah Shad verses 41–44, and volume seven of Tafsir Ibn Kathir. Relevant books, journal articles, theses, and previous studies served as secondary sources. Data were collected through documentation, validated through source criticism and literature triangulation, and analyzed by describing Ibn Kathir’s interpretation, identifying significant statements, classifying the findings into central themes, and contextualizing their contemporary relevance. The findings reveal three interrelated factors. First, sincere supplication demonstrates Prophet Ayyub’s complete dependence on Allah without turning prayer into a demand. Second, obedience to divine commands represents active effort accompanied by trust in Allah. Third, the quality of awwab reflects his continual return and submission to Allah during both hardship and recovery. These findings demonstrate that Prophet Ayyub’s success was founded not merely on physical endurance or patience, but on a sustained spiritual relationship with Allah. These three factors provide a relevant framework for strengthening Muslims’ spiritual resilience when confronting illness, loss, disaster, and other hardships.
