Abstract

This article aims to reveal the reflection of the Qur'an on the oppressed group in the context of social inequality. Using the descriptive analytical approach in the various literature related to the subject of this research, whether in the form of primary sources such as the Qur’an and interpretations, as well as secondary sources in the form of books and articles, the results of the study found that the Qur'an's reflection of al-Mustadh'afin refers to a marginalized community, weak, oppressed, and powerless groups both culturally and structurally. In the context of social inequality, the poor, orphans, beggars, and slaves are al-Mustadh'afin groups. The effort to liberate the al-Mustadh'afin from all forms of discrimination, oppression, and exploitation that leads to social inequality is a vision of Islamic teachings. In the context of the Indonesian state, Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution are the two supporting pillars that are in line with the spirit of the Al-Qur'an's alignment with al-Mustadh'afin. Thus, the defense of al-Mustadh'afin in the context of social inequality can be done by maximizing the role of government, agencies, and social institutions.

Abstract

This study critically reconceptualizes teacher professionalism and performance in Islamic primary education by positioning Islamic intellectual traditions in dialogue with contemporary global educational frameworks. Despite extensive research, dominant models of teacher professionalism remain largely technocratic, systematically privileging measurable competencies while neglecting ethical and spiritual dimensions. This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) following PRISMA guidelines, analyzing peer-reviewed articles retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, published between 2016 and 2025. The study selection process involved identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and final inclusion stages, ensuring methodological transparency and rigor. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key patterns related to teacher professionalism, performance, and learning quality. The findings reveal that teacher professionalism in Islamic education is a multidimensional construct integrating pedagogical competence, professional expertise, and ethical-spiritual values such as adab, amanah, and ihsan. Teacher performance is shaped by both internal factors, including motivation and psychological well-being, and external conditions such as institutional support and professional learning environments. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that the interaction between professionalism and performance significantly enhances learning quality, particularly in fostering holistic student development. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative framework, which challenges dominant technocratic models by embedding ethical and spiritual dimensions within contemporary theories of teacher effectiveness. This study contributes theoretically by advancing a more holistic and context-sensitive understanding of teacher professionalism and practically by informing the design of teacher development programs that are both globally informed and ethically grounded.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of urban Muslim religiosity in Malaysia and the patterns of adaptation of Islamic values ​​in the context of contemporary social modernity. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, this study began with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Then it involved twenty urban Muslim informants aged 25–55 years in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, and Putrajaya through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and field documentation. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's six-stage thematic analysis. The findings identified five main sub-themes: the intensification of exoteric religiosity that is not always balanced by interior spiritual depth; digital piety mediated by social media platforms with tensions between authenticity and performativity; consumption-based religiosity through the halal economy and modest fashion ecosystem; the agency of urban Muslim women who actively negotiate religious identity among state, market, and community pressures; and the influence of political Islam and state-sponsored Islamization on the construction of urban Muslim identity. This study argues that modernity does not erode the religiosity of Malaysian urban Muslims, but rather transforms it into a more reflexive, individualistic, and hybrid form. The classical secularization thesis has proven inadequate to explain the trajectory of Malaysian urban Islam; what is taking place is a complex reconfiguration of religious expression and authority amidst constantly shifting global-local dynamics.
