Abstract

This study aims to generate theoretical ideas about religious practices within the tradition of local wisdom. The fact that the Malay Batubara community continues to perform a healing ritual known as ubat-ubat serves as the foundation of this research. In addition to Islam, elements of Hinduism and Buddhism can also be found in these healing rituals, reflecting a form of religious syncretism. The purpose of this study is to explain why the community continues to practice this ritual from the perspective of Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 165. A qualitative method involving observation and interviews was used to collect data. The findings indicate that the Malay Batubara community performs the ubat-ubat ritual to avoid misfortune and express gratitude to the Creator, who has provided sustenance to His servants through objects and nature. Whether conducted individually or collectively, this ritual reflects the love for Allah, as stated in Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 165, which serves as the foundation for strengthening the devotion of believers. The author hopes that this religious tradition does not become mystical or negatively impact the community in the future, whether in terms of education, economy, or religion, despite this ceremony being held annually.

Abstract

This paper explains that Islamic courts have a central role in upholding the law based on the principles of justice and benefit in accordance with sharia teachings. This study aims to examine the application of Maqasid Syariah the main objectives of sharia, which include the protection of religion, life, intellect, descendants, and property in the judicial process, in order to achieve a balance between al-‘adl (justice) and al-maslahah (benefit). The research method used is a literature study with a normative-juridical approach, involving an analysis of classical and contemporary Islamic legal sources, as well as a review of relevant judicial decisions. The results of the study indicate that the integration of Maqasid Syariah in judicial practice can maintain the relevance of law to social dynamics, while ensuring that the principle of justice remains the primary foundation. Achieving this balance requires an active role of judges in interpreting sharia arguments comprehensively and contextually, so that legal decisions are not only normatively valid but also beneficial for the welfare of the community

Abstract

The rapid growth of social media preachers (dai) in West Sumatra marks a significant transformation in the landscape of contemporary Islamic proselytization. Without formal certification, many young individuals use digital platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok to deliver dakwah, even issuing complex Islamic legal opinions (fatwa). This phenomenon poses serious challenges regarding religious authority, fiqh accuracy, and Islamic legal literacy in digital spaces. This study aims to explore the extent to which millennial preachers apply Islamic legal literacy in their digital da'wah, how they construct religious authority among social media audiences, and how audiences respond to such da'wah content. Using a qualitative approach with digital ethnography as the methodological framework, data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, content analysis of dakwah posts, and participant observation of live streaming interactions. Purposive sampling was employed to select da'i with significant followings focusing on Islamic legal content. Thematic analysis was applied with source triangulation to strengthen validity. The theoretical framework draws on media literacy theory, religious authority theory, cyber Islamic environments, and lumpen intelligentsia theory. Findings reveal wide variation in Islamic legal literacy among preachers, a shift in religious authority from institutional-epistemological bases to performative-digital ones, and paradoxical audience responses oscillating between appreciation and skepticism. This research contributes to understanding the transformation of Islamic dakwah in the digital era and proposes a hybrid dakwah model as a normative solution.
