Abstract

This study aims to analyze the interpretation of Surah At-Takāthur from the perspective of contemporary Qur’anic exegesis and its relevance to the phenomenon of flexing on social media. The research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach. Primary data were obtained from the Qur’an and major exegetical works, particularly Fi Zhilal al-Qur’an by Sayyid Qutb, Tafsir Al-Mishbah by M. Quraish Shihab, and Tafsir Al-Munir by Wahbah al-Zuhayli. The data were analyzed using a descriptive-analytical approach to explore the meaning of at-takāthur and its contextualization within contemporary digital society. The findings reveal that Surah At-Takāthur criticizes human tendencies to pursue wealth accumulation, social status, and public recognition as primary life goals. In the context of digital society, flexing can be understood as a modern manifestation of at-takāthur, as both are oriented toward prestige and social validation. Such practices potentially encourage consumerism, social envy, and attitudes of ostentation, self-admiration, and arrogance that contradict Islamic ethical values. Therefore, contemporary interpretations of Surah At-Takāthur provide an important framework for developing Islamic digital literacy that emphasizes modesty, social responsibility, and a balanced orientation between worldly achievements and the hereafter.

Abstract

This research analyzes the spiritual-political perspectives and contributions of Tuan Guru Batak (TGB) Syekh Ahmad Sabban Rajagukguk amidst the challenges of polarization and the politicization of religion in North Sumatra. As a Sufi scholar and intellectual figure, TGB offers a model that bridges spirituality with the realities of practical politics. Employing a qualitative method with a case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentary studies. Thematic analysis was utilized to identify and elaborate on the meanings derived from the data. The findings indicate that TGB’s spirituality is neither apolitical nor escapist; rather, it serves as an ethical and practical foundation for socio-political engagement. He views politics as an instrument for da’wah (Islamic propagation) aimed at realizing the common good (kemaslahatan), not merely as an arena for power struggles. TGB’s contributions are multidimensional: intellectually, he emerges as a scholar-academic who integrates tradition with modern science; socio-politically, he acts as a moral actor and mediator who safeguards social cohesion; and in terms of leadership, he bequeaths an inclusive and transformative neo-Sufi model. By rejecting identity politics and promoting Sufistic moderation, TGB demonstrates that spirituality can be a crucial counterbalancing force in preserving diversity and strengthening the foundations of democracy. This model offers relevant inspiration for religious leadership in the contemporary era.

Abstract

This study analyzes the integrity crisis of Indonesia's 2024 General Election as portrayed in the documentary film Dirty Vote through the classical Islamic political thought of Abu al-Hasan al-Mawardi and Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali. The study employs a qualitative multi-method design by combining Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of the documentary's empirical claims with library research on major Islamic political texts, including Al-Ahkam as-Sulthaniyyah, Ihya Ulumuddin, and Nasihatul Mulk. The findings indicate that electoral engineering—including manipulation of candidacy age requirements, gerrymandering through Papua's regional expansion, bureaucratic mobilization, weakened oversight by the KPU and Bawaslu, and pork-barrel politics through the politicization of social assistance—constitutes structured, systematic, and massive violations. From Al-Mawardi's perspective, these practices breach the social contract (bay'ah), misuse public funds (Baitul Mal), and produce a moral defect in leadership (Al-Jarh fi al-Adalah). Al-Ghazali's perspective interprets them as political moral decay (fasad al-siyasah), reinforced by the separation of religion from politics, exploitation of poverty (al-faqr), and declining intellectual integrity among opportunistic scholars (ulama al-su') within oversight institutions. The study proposes electoral reconstruction based on institutional accountability (amanah), regulatory transparency (shiddiq), impartial law enforcement ('adl), and the institutionalization of independent civil-society oversight as public control (hisbah).

Abstract

This article examines the significance of al-'afwu (forgiveness) in QS. Yusuf: 92 through the lens of emotional regulation. The study focuses on how the phrase "lā tasrība 'alaikumul-yaum" represents the peak of Prophet Yusuf's emotional management regarding his past. This study compares the interpretation of Ibn Kathir, which is bil ma'tsur in style, with the interpretation of M. Quraish Shihab, which follows an adabi ijtima'i (socio-literary) style, using a muqaran (comparative) method and a maudhu'i (thematic) tafsir approach. The research findings indicate that Ibn Kathir emphasizes forgiveness within a theocentric dimension, where emotional regulation is based on surrendering judgment to Allah (tafwidh). On the other hand, M. Quraish Shihab performs a more comprehensive psychological contextualization, viewing al-'afwu as an effort to develop an individual's inner self from the shackles of resentment to achieve shadr al-halim (an open heart). These differences show that while classical tafsir focuses on eschatology (reward and God's forgiveness), contemporary tafsir focuses more on mental health and social reactions. This research demonstrates that the terminology of al-'afwu in the Qur'an is not merely the waiving of legal claims, but rather a Qur'anic tool to stabilize the human condition in facing destiny.

Abstract

The current ecological crisis, particularly deforestation, is not solely a technical or environmental issue but is deeply connected to human values, moral awareness, and perceptions of nature. In Islamic teachings, the concept of *khalifah* (stewardship) offers ethical guidance regarding the relationship between humans and the environment. However, this concept is often confined to theological discourse and is rarely linked to real-world environmental problems and human behavior. This study aims to reinterpret Qur’anic teachings on *khalifah* and the prohibition of *fasād fī al-arḍ* (corruption on earth) in relation to contemporary ecological crises, especially deforestation in Indonesia, so that these teachings can be practically implemented rather than remaining theoretical. This research employs a qualitative approach with a library research method, utilizing primary sources such as the Qur’an, classical and contemporary tafsir, scholarly books, and scientific articles on ecology and stewardship. The study applies a thematic (*tafsir maudhu‘i*) approach, supported by comparative (*muqāran*) analysis, to examine key verses related to environmental ethics, including QS. Al-A‘raf [7]:56, QS. Ar-Rum [30]:41, QS. Al-Baqarah [2]:11–12, and QS. Al-Baqarah [2]:205. The findings reveal three main points. First, the Qur’an presents a comprehensive and systematic framework of environmental ethics. Second, it not only provides normative guidance but also highlights that environmental destruction is a direct consequence of human actions. Third, the root cause of ecological damage, from a Qur’anic perspective, lies in the internal human dimension, particularly moral crisis, hypocrisy, and distorted consciousness. These findings emphasize the urgency of integrating religious values into environmental practices to address ecological degradation effectively.

Abstract

The concept of the state in Islam is one of the most fundamental yet controversial discourses in Islamic political thought. This article examines the symbolic relationship between religion (al-din) and the state (al-dawlah) from historical, theological, and comparative perspectives. The objective of this study is to analyze the conceptual construction of the Islamic state, map the intellectual debates between the paradigms of integration and separation, and evaluate their relevance within the context of contemporary Muslim politics. The findings indicate that the relationship between al-din wa al-dawlah is not a single monolithic entity but rather a spectrum encompassing models of symbolic theocracy, Islamic democracy, and a civil state grounded in Islamic values. The integration paradigm, represented by al-Mawardi and Ibn Khaldun, emphasizes divine legitimacy as the foundation of political authority. In contrast, the functional separation paradigm, popularized by Ali Abd al-Raziq and later reformulated by Fazlur Rahman, positions religion as a source of moral guidance without requiring it to function as a formal instrument of the state. The study concludes that the concept of al-din wa al-dawlah is more appropriately understood as a dynamic and dialectical relationship that continues to evolve in response to changing socio-political contexts, rather than as a fixed and ahistorical formula

Abstract

This study examines political justice in the digital era from the perspective of millennial academic staff and lecturers, with a specific focus on the educator community at the Faculty of Ushuluddin and Islamic Studies and the Faculty of Sharia and Law, Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara (UINSU). Millennials, defined as individuals born between 1981 and 1996, occupy a strategic position as a generation that bridges classical religious traditions, academic discourse, and contemporary digital information flows. In the context of Islamic higher education, their understanding of political justice is shaped not only by normative religious values and legal-political knowledge, but also by exposure to digital media, online political narratives, social media discussions, and public debates on justice, democracy, and governance. This study uses a quantitative approach with purposive sampling involving 12 respondents. Data were collected through a 15-item Likert scale questionnaire covering four dimensions: digital information exposure, political awareness, perception of justice, and understanding of political justice. The findings show that digital information exposure, as the independent variable, obtained a mean score of 3.21, while political justice understanding, as the dependent variable, obtained a higher mean score of 3.96. The correlation analysis indicates a strong positive relationship between digital information exposure and political justice understanding, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.86.

Abstract

Declining student participation in student organizations at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra has become a concern because these organizations play a vital role in character building, social skill development, and leadership education. This study analyzes the level of student participation, identifies the factors contributing to low participation, and examines its implications for leadership education. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using interviews, observation, and documentation involving 20 informants, including active, semi-active, and inactive students as well as student organization administrators. The findings reveal that student participation remains low to moderate due to high academic workloads, the dominance of digital technology, limited organizational interest, weak leadership development, economic constraints, and poor time management. These factors weaken leadership regeneration and reduce opportunities for developing leadership competencies. This study contributes to the higher education literature by demonstrating that improving leadership education requires adaptive organizational governance and inclusive cadre development, rather than relying solely on student motivation. Therefore, strengthening cadre development, innovating organizational programs, utilizing social media effectively, and fostering an inclusive organizational environment are essential to increasing student participation and leadership development.
Kecanduan Media Sosial pada Generasi Z dalam Perspektif Al-Qur’an: Analisis Tematik Konsep Khusr, Laghw, dan Lahw Alwi Gorga Doli Harahap; Mardian Idris Harahap

Abstract

This study examines social media addiction among Generation Z from the perspective of the Qur’an by focusing on the concepts of khusr, laghw, and lahw. The development of social media has facilitated communication and access to information; however, excessive use may encourage compulsive behavior, time wasting, procrastination, purposeless content consumption, and reduced attention to more productive and meaningful activities. This study employs a qualitative method using library research and a thematic Qur’anic interpretation (maudhu‘i) approach. The primary data consist of Qur’anic verses related to the concepts of khusr, laghw, and lahw, while secondary data are drawn from Qur’anic commentaries, books, journal articles, and previous studies on social media addiction among Generation Z. The data are analyzed descriptively and analytically by relating the meanings of the verses and the interpretations of Qur’anic scholars to the contemporary phenomenon of social media use. The findings indicate that social media addiction can be understood through three Qur’anic dimensions. The concept of khusr represents loss resulting from wasting time and missing opportunities to engage in meaningful activities. The concept of laghw refers to involvement in activities that provide little or no meaningful benefit, including excessive social media use without a clear purpose. Meanwhile, lahw represents forms of entertainment and pleasure that may distract individuals from their life purposes and responsibilities. These three concepts demonstrate that the fundamental problem of social media addiction does not merely lie in the use of technology itself, but in the loss of control over time, purpose, and life orientation. Therefore, the Qur’anic perspective provides an ethical framework for Generation Z to use social media proportionally, productively, and responsibly.
