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.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the interpretation of Quranic embryology in Surah Al-Mu'minun, verses 12–14, according to Hamka in Tafsir al-Azhar and Wahbah Zuhaili in Tafsir al-Munir, and to identify similarities and differences in their interpretive methodologies. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research and a comparative interpretation method (tafsir muqaran). Primary data were obtained from the interpretation of Surah Al-Mu'minun, verses 12–14 in both tafsir books, while secondary data came from literature related to scientific interpretation, Quranic embryology, and contemporary interpretation methodology. Data collection was conducted through documentation and analyzed using content analysis. The results of this study indicate that Hamka and Wahbah Zuhaili both interpret the stages of human creation, from conception to conception, nufah, 'alaqah, mudghah, bone formation, wrapping with flesh, and the breathing of the soul, as evidence of God's power. However, Hamka emphasizes a narrative, reflective, and social approach by linking the verses to the development of science and human values. In contrast, Wahbah Zuhaili uses a systematic, linguistic, and theological approach with an emphasis on the aspects of monotheism and human resurrection. This study concludes that the differences in interpretation are influenced by the intellectual background and methodology of each exegete. This research contributes to the development of scientific and comparative interpretations in contemporary Qur'anic studies.

Abstract

Students' moral degradation in the digital era has become an increasingly urgent educational issue, characterized by declining civility, weakened respect for parents and teachers, cyberbullying, excessive dependence on digital media, and diminished self-control. Although previous studies have discussed Islamic education, character formation, and Qur'anic moral values, limited attention has been given to explaining how Qur'anic moral education functions as an integrated pedagogical framework for addressing these challenges. This study aims to analyze the concept of moral education in the Qur'an through a thematic exegetical (tafsīr mawḍūʿī) approach, identify the forms of students' moral degradation in the digital era, and formulate a Qur'anic moral education framework for contemporary character education. This library research employs thematic Qur'anic exegesis focusing on Q. 31:12–19, supported by classical and contemporary Qur'anic commentaries and relevant scholarly literature. The findings culminate in an integrated Qur'anic moral education framework comprising tawḥīd, adab, spiritual formation, social and communication ethics, and educational methods based on exemplary conduct, moral exhortation, habituation, and supervision. These elements constitute an integrated pedagogical framework that strengthens students' internal moral regulation through God-consciousness (murāqabah), self-regulation, and ethical digital communication. This study contributes to thematic Qur'anic exegesis and Islamic education by providing a conceptual framework for character formation that is both theoretically grounded and relevant to the moral challenges of the digital era. Degradasi moral peserta didik di era digital menjadi salah satu persoalan pendidikan yang semakin mendesak, ditandai dengan menurunnya kesantunan, berkurangnya penghormatan kepada orang tua dan guru, maraknya perundungan siber, ketergantungan berlebihan pada media digital, serta melemahnya pengendalian diri. Meskipun berbagai penelitian telah membahas pendidikan Islam, pembentukan karakter, dan nilai-nilai moral Al-Qur'an, masih terbatas kajian yang menjelaskan bagaimana pendidikan moral Qur'ani berfungsi sebagai kerangka pedagogis terpadu untuk menjawab tantangan tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis konsep pendidikan moral dalam Al-Qur'an melalui pendekatan tafsir maudhu'i, mengidentifikasi bentuk-bentuk degradasi moral peserta didik di era digital, serta merumuskan kerangka pendidikan moral Qur'ani bagi pendidikan karakter kontemporer. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kepustakaan yang menggunakan metode tafsir maudhu'i dengan fokus pada QS. Luqman [31]:12–19, didukung oleh kitab-kitab tafsir klasik dan kontemporer serta berbagai literatur ilmiah yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan moral Qur'ani membentuk suatu kerangka pedagogis terpadu yang mencakup tauhid, adab kepada orang tua dan guru, pembinaan spiritual, etika sosial dan komunikasi, serta metode pendidikan melalui keteladanan, nasihat, pembiasaan, dan pengawasan. Kerangka tersebut memperkuat regulasi moral internal peserta didik melalui muraqabah, pengendalian diri, dan komunikasi digital yang beretika. Penelitian ini berkontribusi terhadap pengembangan kajian tafsir tematik dan pendidikan Islam dengan menawarkan kerangka konseptual pendidikan moral Qur'ani yang relevan bagi pembentukan karakter peserta didik di era digital.

Abstract

This research addresses the Qur'anic readings (qira'at) and their impact on tafsir (exegesis) by discussing the definition of the qira'at, the origin of the science of qira'at, the reasons for the reciters' differences therein, the pillars of an accepted reading, and the impact of the Qur'anic readings on tafsir. The study includes an applied examination of diverse examples drawn from the different aspects of the ten mutawatir (mass-transmitted) readings, in accordance with the recognized criteria for judging readings and demonstrating their impact on exegesis. This is accomplished through the following steps: (1) writing out the Qur'anic verse under discussion in full and fully voweled according to the riwayah of Hafs from 'asim; (2) presenting the different readings of the verse by referring to the well-known books of qira'at; (3) clarifying the linguistic meaning of the readings by referring to lexicons and works of philology; (4) providing a general (ijmali) exegesis of the verse in question, in accordance with the principles laid down by scholars of tafsir for sound and permissible interpretation, drawing on both classical and modern works of tafsir; and (5) clarifying the exegetical relationship between the Qur'anic readings and identifying the meanings that each reading adds to the others.
Tawakkal and Ikhtiar in Addressing Quarter-Life Crisis among Generation Z: A Thematic Interpretation of Q.S. Ar-Ra’d [13]:11 and At-Talaq [65]:3 Dzahaby, Kaafy Al; Rhain, Ainur; Zulfikar , Zulfikar; Salim, Muhammad Fathi

Abstract

The quarter-life crisis has emerged as a prevalent psychological phenomenon among Generation Z, characterized by anxiety, career uncertainty, identity confusion, and concerns about the future. Existing studies predominantly explain this phenomenon through psychological or general religious coping perspectives, while the integrative Qur'anic relationship between ikhtiar (diligent effort) and tawakkal (reliance on Allah) remains insufficiently explored. This study aims to reconstruct the Qur'anic paradigm of ikhtiar and tawakkal through a thematic interpretation of Q.S. Ar-Ra'd [13]:11 and Q.S. At-Talaq [65]:3, and to examine its relevance as a spiritual coping framework for addressing the quarter-life crisis among Generation Z. This qualitative library research employs the tafsir maudhū’i (thematic interpretation) approach by analyzing the selected Qur'anic verses alongside classical and contemporary tafsir literature and relevant studies on quarter-life crisis, Islamic psychology, and religious coping. The findings demonstrate that ikhtiar functions as an active mechanism encouraging self-development, responsible action, and adaptive responses to uncertainty, whereas tawakkal serves as a spiritual mechanism that alleviates anxiety through trust in Allah after optimal effort has been exerted. Their integration establishes a balanced Qur'anic framework that strengthens psychological resilience, emotional stability, and meaningful engagement with life's uncertainties. The reconstructed paradigm offers a relevant conceptual foundation for helping Generation Z cope with the psychological challenges of the quarter-life crisis. Unlike previous studies that primarily emphasize psychological or general religious coping, this research proposes an integrative Qur'anic spiritual coping model by synthesizing ikhtiar and tawakkal through thematic interpretation, thereby contributing to the development of contemporary Qur'anic exegesis and Islamic psychology.

Abstract

Qirāʾāt ʿAsharah education has traditionally relied on sequential and complex pedagogical procedures, particularly memorization of matn, study of transmission chains, and gradual mastery of individual qirāʾāt. Although previous studies have examined qirāʾāt instruction, limited attention has been given to integrating qirāʾāt mapping with a Direct Method that enables learners to engage with recitational variants systematically from the outset. This study examines the conceptual foundations, learning principles, and potential contribution of the Direct Method to modernizing Qirāʾāt ʿAsharah education. Employing a library research method, this study analyzes classical and contemporary literature on qirāʾāt, Qur’anic recitation pedagogy, direct language-learning approaches, and the transmission of Qirāʾāt ʿAsharah. The findings indicate that the Direct Method can be conceptually formulated through three interconnected principles: direct engagement with qirāʾāt variants, systematic mapping of differences among the ten canonical readings, and integrated practice of riwāyāt, ṭuruq, and uṣūl. Qirāʾāt mapping provides a structured framework for organizing variant readings, while the Direct Method may reduce dependence on lengthy preliminary theoretical stages and facilitate engagement with practical recitation. The novelty lies in integrating qirāʾāt mapping and the Direct Method as a conceptual model for modernization. Further empirical research is required to validate its effectiveness.
