Abstract

Objective:  This study aims to explore the implementation of tahfidz and tahsin programs at SMP Muhammadiyah 5 Surakarta, as well as identify strategies to improve the quality of memorization and recitation of the Qur'an through the optimization of dormitory facilities and the implementation of Saturday Islamic Boarding School activities (Pesat). Theoretical framework: This research is based on Qur'anic learning theory that emphasizes the integration of tahsin and tahfidz as part of Islamic character education, as well as kinesthetic and repetitive approaches such as talaqqi, tikrār, and muroja'ah to support successful memorization. Literature review:  The literature review covers the urgency of tahfidz and tahsin in Islamic education, the effectiveness of methods such as talaqqi and tasmi', the role of curriculum and facilities, and the importance of tahsin as a basis for correct memorization. The literature also discusses common reading errors and their corrective strategies. Methods:   The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a field study method. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation, which are analyzed interactively through reduction, presentation, and conclusions drawn. The validity of the data was tested by triangulation and member check. Result:  The results of the study show that the tahfidz and tahsin programs at SMP Muhammadiyah 5 Surakarta have great potential but have not been fully optimized. Two flagship programs were developed, namely the boarding school dormitory program and Pesat (Saturday Islamic Boarding School), which aims to improve the quality and quantity of memorization. It was also found that some students did not have the correct reading skills, so they needed to learn first before entering the tahfidz stage. Implications:  This study shows the need for collaboration between schools, teachers, and policymakers in designing the tahfidz-tahsin curriculum and optimizing dormitory facilities to support intensive Qur'an learning. Novelty:  This study presents a school-based Qur'an coaching model with the integration of tahsin as a prerequisite for tahfidz, utilizing the boarding system and the Pesat program as effective learning innovations.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the phonological relationship between Qur'anic readings (qirā'āt) and modern Arabic dialects by examining how variations in the recitations reflect the diversity of Arabic pronunciation from the early Islamic period to the present. Grounded in historical linguistics and sociolinguistic theory, the research views the qirā'āt as linguistic evidence of early Arabic dialectal diversity and as a foundation for understanding the development of spoken Arabic. It draws upon classical works such as Ibn Mujāhid's Al-Sab'ah fī al-Qirā'āt and Ibn al-Jazarī's Al-Nashr fī al-Qirā'āt al-'Ashr, alongside the contributions of modern linguists such as Tammam Hassan and Ahmed Mukhtar Omar, who have highlighted the linguistic significance of the qirā'āt, noting that few studies have directly compared these phonological features with those of contemporary dialects. Employing a descriptive, analytical, and comparative linguistic approach, the study examines phonetic phenomena such as imālah (vowel fronting), tashīl al-hamz (glottal easing), idghām (assimilation), and ibdāl (substitution) across Qur'anic readings and modern dialects. The findings reveal direct correspondences between certain phonetic traits in present-day dialects-such as the softening of the glottal stop and vowel fronting-and patterns documented in the qirā'āt. This connection underscores the historical continuity of the Arabic language and provides valuable linguistic insights for Qur'anic and phonological studies. The novelty of this research lies in its unique integration of Qur'anic phonology and modern dialectology, demonstrating that the qirā'āt preserve ancient dialectal features that remain alive in contemporary spoken Arabic.

Abstract

Humans know time in every life, with the passage of time, humans encounter many experiences in the surrounding environment that can be used as material for thinking to improve their future. In explaining the concept of time management and its implementation in Surah al-'Ashr with the tahlili method which explores the meaning of each vocabulary referring to Arabic rules, such as nahwu Sharaf, balaghah, and semantics. In addition, it will discuss the interpretation of the scholars. Then continued to explore the aspects of maqashidi, education, and wisdom. With the explanation of the concept of time in Surah Al-'Ashr, humans can take lessons to make the best use of time. This is so that humans avoid losses both in this world and in the hereafter. Scholars differ in their interpretation of time, the first opinion says that time includes the steps and movements contained in it, the second opinion says that time is the time when the Asar prayer is carried out, the third opinion says that time is the presence of the Prophet Muhammad in this life. The word of Allah SWT in Surah Al-'Ashr illustrates that the condition of human beings is really at a disadvantage except for those who believe, those who do good deeds, and those who advise each other in truth and patience. To realize the implementation of the best time in life in the world, humans must maximize their efforts and prayers so that every time is guided by Allah SWT, the Lord of the Universe.

Abstract

The rising cases of stress, anxiety, and mental health disorders highlight the growing need for inner tranquillity. The Qur’an introduces the concept of al-thuma’ninah, yet its meanings across different verses have not been comprehensively examined through the lens of classical exegesis. Previous studies largely focus on semantic or contemporary approaches, leaving a gap in understanding how classical scholars conceptualised thuma’ninah. This study addresses this gap by analysing the meaning of al-thuma’ninah according to al-Qurtubi’s Tafsir al-Jami‘ li Ahkam al-Qur’an, using qualitative library research and thematic analysis of Qur’anic verses derived from the root ط-م-أ-ن. The research aims to identify the categories of thuma’ninah and explore their relevance to mental health. The findings show that al-thuma’ninah is a multidimensional concept encompassing epistemological reassurance, psychospiritual calm, steadfast faith under pressure, social stability, and illusory worldly tranquillity. These results affirm its relevance as a spiritual foundation for modern mental well-being.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kedudukan besi sebagai fondasi peradaban manusia melalui kajian tafsir terhadap QS. al-Hadid [57]: 25 dan QS. Saba’ [34]: 10-11 dengan pendekatan ilmiah integratif. Studi ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif berbasis studi kepustakaan (library research) dengan sumber data primer berupa karya tafsir klasik dan kontemporer, seperti Tafsir al-Tabari, Tafsir al-Azhar, serta karya tafsir ilmiah Zaghlūl an-Najjār, dan didukung oleh literatur ilmiah terkait metalurgi. Analisis dilakukan melalui teknik content analysis dengan pendekatan tematik untuk mengidentifikasi makna teologis, linguistik, dan saintifik terkait konsep besi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa al-Qur’an memposisikan besi sebagai anugerah ilahi yang memiliki ba’sun syadid (kekuatan besar) dan manafi‘ li al-nas (manfaat bagi manusia), yang terefleksi dalam perkembangan teknologi dan peradaban sejak masa Nabi Dawud hingga revolusi industri modern. Besi tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai material struktural utama dalam bidang pertanian, militer, konstruksi, dan industri, tetapi juga menjadi simbol kemajuan teknologi yang menopang sistem sosial, ekonomi, dan infrastruktur modern. Temuan ini menegaskan adanya sinergi antara wahyu dan ilmu pengetahuan dalam memahami peran metalurgi sebagai instrumen kemaslahatan serta indikator kemajuan peradaban manusia dari era awal hingga Revolusi Industri 5.0.

Abstract

This study examines political ideology in Indonesian translations of the Qur'an. This study aims to analyze differences in word choice in the Qur'an that explain how political verses of the Qur'an are translated and interpreted in social, historical, and political contexts. Using a qualitative method based on literature study, this study examines the translations of the Ministry of Religious Affairs (2002 and 2019) and the Tafsir Al-Qur'anul Karim by Muhammad Yunus, focusing on verses related to politics. Linguistic-semantic and ideological analyses indicate significant differences that have implications for the nuances of meaning and political orientation. This study also identifies three ideological tendencies in understanding politics, including: traditionalist-authoritarian, revivalist-transformative, and modernist-contextual, which influence the reconstruction of the meaning of verses in translations. These findings confirm that translations of the Qur'an are not merely linguistic products, but ideological spaces influenced by the translator's social, political, and religious paradigms.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of Qur'an translation in Indonesia, focusing on the relationship between modern Islamic movements and the development of tafsiriyah translations. Through a case study of the work of Muhammad Thalib, the leader of the Indonesian Mujahidin Council (MMI), this article shows that Qur'an translation not only functions as a religious or linguistic activity, but is also used as a political and ideological tool to fight for the formalization of Islamic law in national life. This study uses a library study method with a discourse analysis approach to the translated texts of Thalib's tafsiriyah and MMI movement documents. The results reveal that Thalib's tafsiriyah translations, particularly his work entitled Al-Qur'anul Karim: Tarjamah Tafsiriyah, were developed as a corrective response to the official translation of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, as well as a medium for disseminating Islamist discourse that emphasizes the enforcement of sharia in its entirety, rejection of religious pluralism, and criticism of the democratic system. Analysis of several key verses shows that Thalib's interpretation tends to direct the meaning of the verses according to the movement's agenda, such as emphasizing male leadership (Q.S. an-Nisa: 34), the state's obligation to collect zakat (Q.S. at-Taubah: 103), and the integrity of the implementation of sharia (Q.S. Ali Imran: 103). Thus, this article concludes that the development of tafsiriyah translations in Indonesia cannot be separated from the socio-political context after the 1998 Reformation, where Islamic movements utilized freedom of expression to fight for their ideological visions through the medium of translating holy books.

Abstract

This study examines the meaning of awliya’ in the official Indonesian Qur’anic translation published by the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) across three editions: the Jamunu Edition, the 2002 Revised Edition, and the 2019 Revised Edition. It focuses on the diversity of Indonesian renderings of awliya’ across Qur’anic verses and investigates the factors underlying these translational variations, particularly in socially sensitive passages such as Q 5:51 (al-Ma’idah). The research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytic approach using library research. Primary data consist of the three Kemenag translation editions, while secondary data include classical and contemporary Qur’anic commentaries, Qur’anic semantic studies, and translation theory literature. Data are analyzed through thematic (maudhu‘i) exegesis, content analysis, and a semantic-contextual approach (Izutsu), taking into account siyaq al-ayah (textual context) and asbab al-nuzul (occasions of revelation). The findings demonstrate that awliya’ is polysemous, and therefore Kemenag adopts context-sensitive renderings such as leaders, protectors/helpers, close loyal friends, and allies. Differences across editions are shaped by (1) linguistic factors (polysemy), (2) verse context, (3) exegetical assumptions informing translation choices, (4) socio-political considerations and the discourse of religious moderation, and (5) an educational orientation toward non-specialist readers. The study concludes that translational variation can enrich readers’ understanding when supported by exegetical literacy, yet it may also generate misleading generalizations if read literally without contextual guidance.

Abstract

The phenomenon of the proliferation of hate speech on social media constitutes an important background for this study. The low level of digital communication ethics, accompanied by the high intensity of hate speech in cyberspace, has encouraged the author to examine this phenomenon through a Qur’anic perspective. Ideally, communication between individuals and groups should reflect the values of respect, gentleness, and truth as taught in the Qur’an through the concepts of qaulan kariman, qaulan layyinan, qaulan ma‘rufan, and others. This article employs a conceptual thematic exegesis approach to analyse verses that prohibit hate speech and a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by examining literature from 2015–2024 within the framework of thematic-conceptual interpretation. The main findings indicate that the Qur’an not only condemns hate speech, but also offers practical guidance on ethical communication in society, including in the digital era. Therefore, the implementation of Qur’anic values serves as a moral and social solution in fostering a healthy, peaceful, and civilised space of interaction amidst the advancement of information technology.
