Abstract

The phenomenon of the meeting of two seas, as mentioned in the Qur'an, particularly in Surah Ar-Rahman: 19-20 and Surah Al-Furqan: 53, not only illustrates natural realities but also contains scientific significance relevant to modern scientific studies. This phenomenon describes the existence of a natural barrier separating two seas with different characteristics, such as salinity and temperature, which do not mix despite their close proximity. The scientific concept of a halocline, a transitional zone between two bodies of water with differing properties, provides a deeper explanation of this phenomenon. This paper aims to analyze the phenomenon of the meeting of two seas from the perspective of the Qur'an and science. The discussion not only reveals the connection between revelation and science but also delves into the philosophical and spiritual meanings embedded in this natural phenomenon. The study finds that the phenomenon of the meeting of two seas teaches the importance of maintaining environmental balance, valuing diversity, and fulfilling humanity’s role as stewards of the earth. Additionally, this phenomenon is relevant to efforts in environmental preservation and the sustainable management of natural resources. The analysis in this paper shows that the Qur'an and modern science harmonize in explaining natural phenomena, which can inspire efforts to protect the environment and strengthen the relationship between knowledge and faith. Thus, understanding this phenomenon can reinforce faith while increasing awareness of the critical human responsibility to preserve the earth.

Abstract

Global civilizational discourse remains entangled in epistemological asymmetries, wherein Western imperialism is exalted as a vehicle of progress while the Caliphate is vilified as a relic of despotism. This study interrogates such distortions, arguing that the Caliphate paradigm rooted in the Qur’anic principle of tawḥīd constitutes a theological and geopolitical antithesis to imperialism’s anthropocentric domination. Employing qualitative library research, this paper integrates critical discourse analysis, thematic Qur’anic exegesis (tafsīr maudūʿī), and comparative geopolitical insights through a decolonial epistemological lens (Santos). The findings reveal that the Caliphate positions sovereignty as a divine amānah, operationalized through maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, in stark contrast to the exploitative structures of imperialism evidenced by historical wealth extractions from colonized territories. Geopolitically, the Qur’anic ideal of ummah waḥidah (Q. 21:92) challenges colonial legacies of fragmentation, such as the Sykes-Picot Agreement, which has left 78% of Muslim-majority nations geopolitically vulnerable (FSI, 2023). Epistemologically, the paper advocates for an autonomous Islamic political framework by decentering Eurocentric constructs like the nation-state and rearticulating khilāfah beyond Orientalist tropes of tyranny (Said). In conclusion, the Caliphate is not a romanticized anachronism but a viable, justice-oriented paradigm—ontologically rooted in tawḥīd, geopolitically structured around unity, and epistemologically enabled through decolonized knowledge ecologies. It demands a reimagining of political theology that transcends imperial residues and asserts an authentically Islamic civilizational vision.

Abstract

The phenomenon of fatherlessness or the absence of fathers in children's lives is increasing due to social and cultural changes, having a significant impact on children's moral, psychological and social development. In this context, Surah Luqman verses 12-19, as interpreted by Ahmad Mustafa Al-Maraghi, provides moral and spiritual guidance that can help children face this challenge. This study aims to analyze how the moral values in Surah Luqman can be applied to overcome the impact of fatherlessness on children. Using the literature review method and descriptive-analytical analysis, this research explores the meaning of the verses and relates them to the problem of fatherlessness faced by children in modern life. The results show that the values in Surah Luqman verses 12-19 are very relevant in shaping the personality of children who grow up without a father figure. These values include gratitude to Allah (Verse 12), strengthening monotheism (Verse 13), respecting mothers (Verse 14), prioritizing parents (Verse 15), awareness of the consequences of actions (Verse 16), discipline in prayer (Verse 17), and humility and patience (Verses 18-19). These values can help children deal with the psychological, social, and emotional challenges of fatherlessness, while building a strong moral foundation in their lives. This research recommends the development of a Qur'anic values-based education module to be implemented in families, schools and communities, as well as an empirical study to test its effectiveness in the lives of children who experience fatherlessness.

Abstract

Before Islam came, Javanese people believed in sending prayers to the dead so that they would be safe until Nirvana and could rest in peace. After Islam came, this tradition of sending prayers was not immediately eliminated. However, it was given a pattern containing Islamic values ​​by Sunan Kalijaga. So that an acculturation was created between Islam and the culture of sending prayers which was given the name fida. Fida is an activity carried out by Javanese people after death. This activity includes reading the letter al-Ikhlas a thousand times or reading tahlil 70,000/71,000 times which is addressed to the deceased with the aim of avoiding the torment of hellfire and getting rewards. This study attempts to find out the views of the Sumoroto Village community, Kauman District, Ponorogo Regency about fida. (1) How is the practice of fida in the Sumoroto Village community?

Abstract

Recent Qur’ānic scholarship has increasingly revisited the relationship between the oral and written dimensions of revelation. This article examines these dimensions through Angelika Neuwirth’s concept of pre-canonical reading, focusing on Sūrah Al-Ikhlāṣ. Neuwirth approaches the Qur’ān from literary, historical, and comparative perspectives, emphasizing that its oral features—such as rhythm, recitation, and audience interaction—are vital for understanding how the Qur’ān initially communicated its message. She argues that the process of codification transformed these living oral expressions into a fixed text, often separating the Qur’ān from its dynamic historical setting. By re-examining Sūrah Al-Ikhlāṣ within its early socio-historical context, this study shows that its concise monotheistic message still carries traces of orality through its sound patterns, rhetorical balance, and dialogical tone. The analysis highlights Neuwirth’s contribution to Qur’ānic studies by bridging orality and textuality, showing the Qur’ān as both a spoken revelation and a historical document shaped through stages of transmission and canonization.

Abstract

The escalating global ecological crisis necessitates a new approach for a new approach to reconstruct the relationship between humans and nature. One relevant philosophical perspective is deep ecology, which emphasizes the intrinsic equality of all ecological entities and advocates for a radical transformation of the dominant anthropocentric paradigm. Although often associated with Western thought, this concept finds resonance in the discourse of Islamic ecotheology. This research aims to examine the ecological principles in the exegesis of the Qur'an through a comparative analysis of the thoughts of two prominent figures in contemporary Islamic eco-philosophy: Mutawalli al-Sya'rawi and Fazlun Khalid. This study employs a qualitative comparative analysis of the exegetical works of al-Sya'rawi and Fazlun Khalid, focusing on their interpretations of key Qur'anic verses central to ecological ethics, such as the concepts of the Trust (QS Al-Aḥzāb: 72), Balance (QS Al-Raḥmān: 7-9), and the inherent value of creation (QS Al-Anʿām: 38).The findings reveal that al-Sya'rawi developed a metaphysical and spiritual framework. Viewing nature as a divine hierophany (tajalli), while Khalid offers a pragmatic-participatory ecological ethics grounded in maqāṣid syarī'ah and the prophetic sunnah. This research contributes to the enrichment of Islamic ecological epistemology through the complementary synthesis of these two approaches and provides an integrative perspective on the role of Islam as a transformative solution to the global environmental crisis.
