Abstract

This study examines the discursive contestation surrounding the hadith al-Ḥamw al-Mawt (The in-law is Death) within Indonesian digital Islam. Drawing on Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis approach and Campbell's theory of Digital Religion, the study analyzes the Instagram-based da‘wah content produced by the account @ismaelkholilie as a site where religious meaning and authority are actively constructed and contested. It argues that the hadith is recontextualized from a classical moral injunction into a digital narrative addressing infidelity, family ethics, and mahram boundaries in contemporary Muslim households. The findings demonstrate that social media functions not merely as a medium of religious dissemination but as a discursive arena in religious authority negotiated and reconfigured through digital credibility, algorithmic visibility, and audience interactivity. By situating Indonesia as a critical site of digital religious practice, this article contributes to broader debates on religious authority and meaning-making in Digital Islam.Keywords: Digital hadith, infidelity, al-Ḥamw al-Mawt, religious authority, digital religion

Abstract

This article problematizes the use of satirical narratives in TikTok-based digital da'wah that quote hadiths on the hijab, focusing on how satire functions both as moral critique and as a mechanism for producing stigma against Muslim women. This study examines how the TikTok account @musuhwanita constructs discourse through hadith-based satire and how these narratives shape social relations between men and women as well as configurations of religious authority in digital spaces. The central research question asks how discursive structures, social cognition, and ideological contexts operate in the satirical representation of the hijab. Empirically, the study is limited to an analysis of video content and audience comments published between August and September 2024, employing Teun A. van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis. This analysis is conducted from an Islamic normative perspective grounded in the principles of amr ma'ruf nahy munkar and da'wah digital ethics. This study contributes to digital Islamic studies by demonstrating how satirical da'wah reproduces and negotiates the meanings of hadith, hijab, and the representation of Muslim women within contemporary configurations of online religious authority.

Abstract

The debate over non-religious music in Islam reflects an epistemological polarization in Indonesia's digital space, represented by Yufid TV and Bincang Syariah. Yufid TV based on a literal Salafi interpretation, rejecting music by referring to the Islamic doctrine of the hadith. This study aims to investigate how Islamic authority is negotiated through discourse on non-religious music across two prominent digital platforms, Yufid TV and Bincang Syariah.com. Methodologically, it employs Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine the textual, discursive, and socio-cultural dimensions of how both platforms construct, disseminate, and legitimize religious interpretation within the digital public sphere. The findings reveal that Yufid TV constructs a puritan discourse grounded in literalist interpretation, portraying music as a deviation from the purity of Islamic teachings. In contrast, Bincang Syariah adopts a contextual and maqaṣid-oriented approach, framing music as an ethical and cultural expression. Audience responses demonstrate a significant epistemological polarization, reflecting the broader transformation of religious authority from traditional institutions to digital spaces. Academically, this article contributes to contemporary Islamic studies by bridging discourse analysis and digital religion research, highlighting how online media functions as a new arena for ijtihad and the negotiation of religious legitimacy within modern Muslim societies

Abstract

This study highlights the importance of contextual interpretation in the dissemination of ḥadīths on social media, particularly regarding gender dynamics in marriage. Focusing on the frequently cited ḥadīth about “the wife’s denial of her husband’s kindness,” this research explores how such texts, when shared without adequate context, contribute to gender-biased narratives and reinforce patriarchal stereotypes in online spaces. Employing a netnographic approach, the study examines interactions on Instagram accounts @thesunnah_path and @khalidbasalamahofficial, revealing interpretive patterns which are often lacking critical engagement. To counter this, the research applies the mubādalah framework—an egalitarian hermeneutic emphasizing reciprocity and mutual responsibility in marital relationships. Findings show that decontextualized ḥadīth dissemination risks misinterpretation and exacerbates gender imbalances, while mubādalah offers a constructive alternative that promotes gender justice and equitable values. The study calls for more inclusive and context-aware approaches in digital da‘wa, ensuring that religious teachings align with contemporary ethical and social realities. It affirms the need for transformative interpretive models to prevent religious discourse from being misused or misunderstood in today’s digital age.

Abstract

In contemporary Indonesia, waria-a culturally specific category of gender nonconformity-continue to experience religious marginalization, often justified through rigid readings of Prophetic traditions on cross-dressing (takhannuts). Beyond juridical debate, this exclusion raises fundamental questions of human dignity and religious belonging. This article re-examines canonical hadîts narrations on the mukhannath using Jorge J. E. Gracia’s functional hermeneutics, drawing on reports in Shahîh al-Bukhârî and Shahîh alongside their classical commentaries. The study advances three arguments: first, gender ambiguity was recognized in early Islam as a lived social reality rather than a moral anomaly; second, the hadîts corpus distinguishes between innate disposition (min ashl al-khilqah) and deliberate imitation (tasyabbuh), directing censure toward intentional misconduct; and third, a functional hermeneutic reading reveals an ethical orientation toward mercy, proportionality, and the preservation of human dignity. These findings support a dignity-centered interpretive framework that affirms waria as legitimate worshippers (mushallî) and full moral subjects within the Muslim community.

Abstract

The most important goal in human life is to achieve happiness, and because people are subject to certain ideas and beliefs and have a different system of thought, it has led to different interpretations of happiness. If the Sufis interpret happiness around the orbit of inner happiness in the soul, not related to material achievements such as money, children, prestige, offspring, and others, then this is different from the interpretation of the happiness of two Muslim philosophers, Ibn Sīnā and al-Fārābī. In this article, with a descriptive-analytical method and using library resources, we first try to study the lexicon of the word happiness and the views of other thinkers in this regard, in the following, what are happiness, the levels of happiness, and the classification of happiness in the intellectual system of Ibn Sīnā and al-Fārābī. Happiness in Ibn Sīnā and al-Fārābī's thought is the same concern of human perfectionism from the beginning of creation, and this has caused these two philosophers to discuss this in their different works, and both philosophers do not know human happiness as anything other than reaching God and His pleasure.

Abstract

The phenomenon of pranks on social media has developed into a form of entertainment that is fraught with ethical and moral issues, especially when carried out without considering the psychological impact on the victims. Although it often receives positive responses from netizens, this type of content essentially indicates a tolerance for symbolic violence in the digital space. This article analyzes Abdullah Gymnastiar’s (Aa Gym) critical response to prank practices from an Islamic ethical perspective, which was uploaded to Aa Gym’s YouTube account on May 9, 2022, entitled “Celakanya Prank yang Mendzolimi Orang Lain-kajian singkat Aa Gym”, with reference to the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad about joking, particularly in Sunan Abī Dāwūd. This study uses Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis approach through three stages: (1) text analysis as a representation of something that contains a certain ideology because it wants to see how reality is formed in the text to identify lexical, sentence structure, rhetorical style, and intonation; (2) discourse practice analysis to understand the context of the production and dissemination of the message in digital media, and (3) socio-cultural practice analysis to relate the findings to Islamic ethical norms and the dynamics of online humor culture. This study explores the construction of language, moral values, and religious norms in Aa Gym’s digital dakwah content and its implications for public understanding of ethical boundaries in online humor culture. The analysis reveals that Aa Gym emphasizes the importance of responsible humor that entertains without hurting or degrading others. This study underscores the importance of ethical reflection on digital humor practices and the need to reevaluate the boundaries of decency in jokes. Thus, this article contributes to the discourse on media ethics and contemporary da‘wah, while highlighting the relevance of Islamic norms in responding to the challenges of popular culture in the digital age.

Abstract

Ontologically, Gamal al-Banna viewed that interpretation is the process to understand the Koran. Therefore he did the deconstruction of classical commentaries domination which is loaded with influences of the political uproar in the past Middle East. From such a deconstruction, he went to the reconstruction of the Koran within the concept of Tatwîr al-Qur’ân. There is a dimension of art that must be understood from the essence of Koran and should be permeated by all Muslims. For him, the Koran is an art book, and its largest or greatest miracle is language as a tool to understand the art found within it. The secret miracle rises from the musical reading of the Koran which could be a psychological approach, just by listening the reading. Through this stage of irfani, the Koran could be the media of human civilization revolution. In his concept, Gamal didn’t assert one method or restrict to a current science or method. He refused if one current method has a warranty as the only way to find the truth, because the Koran itself should not be restricted

Abstract

Text will always interacting with the context. He always dialectic with the conditions in which the text was born. Therefore, to understand a text, an understanding about the context becomes a necessity that must be done, not least the understanding of hadith texts. Without understanding a variety of variables and circumstances behind the text that includes historical aspects, sociological, psychological, and so on, then this will potentially misinterpretation. This article explores the ideas of Jamal al-Banna on the methodology of contemporary traditions. He offers concepts and methodologies so resolutive and intelligent in understanding the Sunnah of the Prophet. He also shows how Muslims should ideally interact with the Sunnah. Departing from the description, it will be explored in this article about Jamal al-Banna Sunnah thinking which will then be analyzed in this hermeneutic perspective. According to him, Muslims today should make the Sunnah as a model of ijtihad, which also means keeping the existence of Sunnah. That is, people now have to follow the path and methodology, not the spoken word; follow the Sunnah of the Prophet, do not follow the text of the hadith.

Abstract

Abstract: This article is aimed to propose a methodological interpretation of the Qur’an with reference to the thematic method. The concept is derived from combining the contextual approach with the thematic method of Qur’anic interpretation. Here, I argue that the contextual approach is relevant to develop the existing thematic tafsir methods that are vastly adopted, mostly among the works of college students in Indonesian Islamic universities. Besides, the approach becomes important in its ability to come up with fresh researches in the tafsir studies, as well as to address challenges and socio-religious problems in contemporary society. Therefore, this article attempts to elaborate one of the contemporary approaches introduced by Abdullah Saeed, which he called the contextual approach. By adopting this approach, thematic tafsir will be more comprehensive, as the object of analysis is not limited to text, of the Qur’anic verses and its commentaries, but also the socio-historical context of the studied verses. Abstrak: Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menawarkan kajian metodologis dalam diskursus tafsir al-Qur’an, yaitu metode tematik. Tawaran tersebut berasal dari penggabungan pendekatan kontekstual dengan metode tafsir tematik. Di sini, penulis berpendapat bahwa pendekatan kontekstual sangat relevan untuk mengembangkan metode tafsir tematik yang telah ada dan banyak diadopsi dalam karya-karya akademik di perguruan tinggi keislaman Indonesia. Selain itu, pendekatan ini menjadi penting dalam kemampuannya untuk menghasilkan penelitian-penelitian baru dalam studi tafsir, serta untuk menjawab tantangan dan masalah sosial-keagamaan dalam masyarakat kontemporer. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini mencoba mengelaborasi salah satu pendekatan kontemporer yang diperkenalkan oleh Abdullah Saeed, yang disebutnya sebagai pendekatan kontekstual. Dengan mengadopsi pendekatan ini, tafsir tematik akan lebih komprehensif, karena objek analisisnya tidak terbatas pada teks, yaitu ayat-ayat al-Qur’an dan tafsirnya, tetapi juga konteks sosio-historis dari ayat-ayat yang dikaji.
