Abstract

Shadows as observable natural phenomena are described in the Qur’an, particularly in Surah al-Furqān (25:45–46), which portrays their extension, movement, and relation to the sun. This study aims to analyze the concept of al-ẓill (shadow) in these verses through a semantic-based approach to tafsīr ‘ilmī and to examine its conceptual correlation with principles of geometric optics. The research employs a qualitative textual method using a three-layered analytical framework consisting of semantic deconstruction, exegetical mapping, and conceptual correlation. The first stage analyzes key Qur’anic terms—madda, ẓill, dalīlan, and qabḍnāhu—through classical Arabic lexicons and semantic field analysis. The second stage examines interpretations from classical and modern exegetical works to trace the historical understanding of the verses. The third stage explores the conceptual alignment between the Qur’anic description of shadows and established principles of geometric optics concerning shadow formation and solar geometry. The findings indicate that the Qur’an describes shadows as dynamic and orderly phenomena governed by the position of the sun, reflecting a coherent observational pattern compatible with scientific explanations of shadow formation and variation. Rather than presenting scientific predictions, the Qur’anic narrative offers a phenomenological description of natural processes that invites reflection on cosmic order and divine wisdom. This study contributes a methodological model for interdisciplinary research that integrates semantic analysis of Qur’anic language with responsible engagement with scientific knowledge.

Abstract

Sa`id Nursi argues that nature and the environment have fixed principles that function to maintain the continuity of life while problems arise when the patterns of human environmental activity tend to contradict these principles so that life is threatened. This paper discusses the principles of ecology according to Sa`id Nursi as the basis for implementing the sustainable living agenda. Primary data of this qualitative study were obtained from Rasail al-Nurwhich was described as well as analyzed using a compare and contrast model with relevant environmental theories. The two findings of this study are that Nursi first built an ecological principle based on the tajalli principle of al-asma al-husna, namely cleansing (at-tandzif) the manifestation of al-Quddus, interdependence (at-tasanud) of al-Fard's manifestation, harmony (at-ta`awun) al-Fard, dynamic balance (at-iqtishad wa al muwawazanah) manifestation of al-hakim. Second, Nursi considers humans to be caliphs because they have the most perfect ecological elements in manifesting the attributes of Allah Almighty. Sa`id Nursi emphasized that the human community must maintain and implement this principle for the sustainability of the nature it occupies. The sustainability of life is directly proportional to the implementation of ecological principles.

Abstract

The Advancement of Agricultural Technology in Conjunction with the Modernization Wave: Not Only Progress and Convenience, but Also Confrontation with Agricultural Problems The progression of agricultural technology alongside the currents of modernization has yielded not only advancement and increased ease in human existence but has also precipitated a series of agricultural quandaries. From a philosophical vantage, the essence of technology resides in its framework, which perceives nature as an instrument amenable to human engineering. The process of technological development, or technification, within modern agriculture, is fraught with predicaments. Consequently, this exposition seeks to delve into these predicaments concerning the human perspective on both nature and its subsequent contextualization within the Islamic framework. The predicaments associated with technification in agriculture can be delineated into four salient facets. First, there is the concomitant technological worldview that accompanies it. Second, its predominant focus gravitates towards the resolution of "how to" inquiries. Third, it exhibits an orientation geared explicitly towards efficiency and sophistication. Lastly, it contributes to the attenuation of the sensory experiences of humans with regard to the natural world.

Abstract

Purpose This study examined the Tafsil.id platform as a contemporary digital medium for scientific Qur’anic exegesis, addressing how digital tafsir initiatives in Indonesia reconfigure religious authority and knowledge production within a localized context. Method This research employed a qualitative content analysis of Tafsil.id, focusing on its thematic organization of Qur’anic verses, interpretive sources, and modes of scientific integration. The analysis was informed by relevant literature on scientific exegesis, digital religion, and decolonial perspectives.         Results/findings The findings showed that Tafsil.id localized scientific Qur’anic interpretation through the use of Bahasa Indonesia and thematic structuring, making it more accessible to a wider audience. The platform showed a hybrid epistemic model that combined classical Arabic exegetical sources with contemporary scientific discourse in areas such as cosmology and environmental studies. This configuration expanded access while maintaining continuity with established interpretive traditions. Conclusion This study concluded that Tafsil.id helped to digitally mediate Qur'anic interpretation by increasing access and altering modes of involvement. However, its epistemic transformation was only partial, occurring through a bargain between localization and reliance. The study was limited to platform analysis and did not address user reception, which could be investigated in future research.

Abstract

This paper examines K.H. Hasyim Asy'ari's concept of walāya (sainthood) by directly exploring his works such as Al-Durar al-Muntaṭirah fī Masā'il al-Tis'a 'Asharah, Ādāb Al-Ālim Wa Al-Muta’alim, and Tamyīz al-Haqq min al-Bāṭil. The reason for writing his books on Sufism is the phenomena of misunderstandings and deviations in the teachings of Sufism, especially among tarekat groups. This article is library-based research and the data are collected by applying documentary techniques; referring to books, journal articles, and other published materials. The data were then analyzed using the descriptive-analytical method. This study reveals that the concept of sainthood of K.H. Hasyim Asy’ari was influenced by the views of classical Sufis, among others, is al-Qusyairi. Generally, his understanding is similar to those of authoritative Sufis. According to him, walī is a person very close to God and he is protected from doing immoral acts. For that matter, a person who ignores the Shari'a (Islamic law) is not walī. In fact, a true walī will not reveal himself to be a walī, even if he knows.

Abstract

This study examines how Bediüzzaman Said Nursi's concept of Eco-Tawḥīd; a theocentric framework integrating Khilafah (vicegerency), al-Amānah al-Kubrā (the Great Trust), and Qānūn al-Ṭuhr (the Law of Cleanliness as a manifestation of the divine name Al-Quddūs) can serve as a spiritual bridge for mutual ecological transformation between Türkiye and Indonesia. Despite zero‑waste policies (Türkiye's Zero Waste Project and Indonesia's Presidential Regulation No. 109/2025), both nations face persistent implementation gaps. Using a qualitative comparative document analysis of ministry reports, the Risale‑i Nur, fatwas, and civil society initiatives (Nurcu movement in Türkiye; Muhammadiyah, NU, MUI, Eco Masjid in Indonesia), the study finds that Türkiye excels in execution 27.2% waste recovery, 65.2 billion TL savings, nationwide education, but embeds Nursian ethics only implicitly. Indonesia, conversely, articulates Khilafah explicitly in state ecotheology and fatwas, yet suffers from systemic failure: 60% unmanaged waste, 343 open‑dump landfills, and 48% household open burning. The study proposes a mutual‑learning bridge grounded in Nursi's eco-Tauhid: Indonesia can adopt Türkiye's phased roadmap, incentive systems (Z‑card, mobile collection), and public campaigns; Türkiye can embrace Indonesia's regulatory innovation (waste‑to‑energy with 30‑year investment tariffs) and formal theological grounding of Khilafah. This synthesis reframes zero waste not as a technical problem but as a sacred stewardship imperative, transforming both nations from crisis management to spiritual‑ecological governance.

Abstract

This study explores the philosophical and socio-intellectual reconstruction of Islamic civilization in the modern era through the thought of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. The purpose of this research is to analyze how Nursi’s theological and epistemological framework provides a constructive response to the challenges of secular modernity, materialism, and moral disintegration within Muslim societies. Employing a qualitative method with a philosopical approach and content analysis method, this study critically examines Nursi’s primary texts—particularly the Risale-i Nur Collection—and contextualizes them within broader discourses of Islamic renewal and modernity. The findings reveal that Nursi’s concept of iman tahqiqi (verified faith) and his integration of reason and revelation serve as the foundation for reconstructing a spiritually rooted yet intellectually open Islamic civilization. His vision emphasizes moral reform, scientific advancement guided by divine purpose, and social cohesion based on justice and compassion. Moreover, Nursi’s approach bridges traditional religious scholarship with modern epistemology, offering a model for holistic development that reconciles faith, knowledge, and progress. The study concludes that Nursi’s thought remains profoundly relevant to contemporary Muslim societies facing crises of identity, secularization, and environmental degradation. It recommends further comparative research between Nursi’s civilizational vision and contemporary Islamic thinkers to formulate an integrative paradigm for Islamic civilization renewal in the 21st century.
