Abstract

The influence of media on the formation of attitudes towards Muslims and Arabs in the period following the 9/11 attacks resulted in the propagation of harmful stereotypes and the increase in hate crimes targeting Muslims and Arabs during this time. This was also spread by the role of media, including popular culture media, in disseminating these negative narratives. Using a qualitative approach, this study aims to examine the media’s endeavours to depict Muslims in a positive portrayal and the dearth of meaningful sources documenting these empathetic endeavours through the prism of moderation, especially in post-9/11. This article argues that Evelyn Alsultany's notion of Simplified Complex Representation serves as a gateway for the media's effort to showcase Muslims and Arabs in a more nuanced way.. There are tons of instances that have been analysed from TV dramas, movies, and comics to demonstrate how the media shapes people’s perspectives of Muslims and Arabs. The article contends that media is not merely a mirror of societal views but a powerful agent capable of shaping and modifying perceptions.

Abstract

This paper critically reevaluates the concept of taʿzīr—a discretionary category of punishment within Islamic criminal law—by examining its interplay with capital punishment for drug crimes in Indonesia. While taʿzīr is traditionally regarded as less severe than divinely mandated punishments such as ḥudūd and qiṣāṣ, its contemporary implementation reveals a more intricate and expansive nature. Employing Indonesia’s regulation of narcotics trafficking under Law No. 35 of 2009 (Articles 114 and 119) as a case study, the analysis contextualizes the legal framework within broader social and religious dimensions. The study demonstrates that considerations of maṣlaḥah (public interest), deterrence, and the classification of narcotics offenses as extraordinary crimes serve to legitimize the application of capital punishment. Several indicators suggest that taʿzīr may extend beyond its classical boundaries: the authorization of the death penalty for offenses not explicitly addressed in textual sources, quantitative criteria triggering maximum sanctions, reliance on state sovereignty in defining punishments, and the absence of traditional fiqh-based mitigation mechanisms. By integrating legal, societal, and religious perspectives, this study reveals that taʿzīr in the Indonesian context potentially surpass the severity of ḥudūd and qiṣāṣ punishments, thereby raising critical questions regarding the flexibility and limits of Islamic criminal justice within modern nation-states.

Abstract

This study examines the normalization of prewedding photography among urban Indonesian Muslims as visual culture serving aesthetic documentation, social status display, and love expression, while negotiating tensions with Islamic norms (khalwat, ikhtilath, tabarruj) derived from hadiths. Using maqāṣid al-syarī'ah and qualitative textual-cultural analysis, the research reframes prewedding practices not merely as Shari'ah violations but as spaces for reconciling religious authority and societal realities. Findings reveal adaptations like modest attire, non-physical poses, and sessions post-akad (marriage contract), reflecting “cultural ijtihad” to ethically reinterpret hadiths within digital visual culture. The study repositions hadiths as flexible ethical tools guiding Muslims to preserve honor (ḥifẓ al-’irdh) and marital spirituality (ḥifẓ al-dīn), transforming prewedding into expressions of Islamic values. It concludes that maqāṣidī-driven reinterpretation fosters harmony between popular culture and religious norms, advancing social hadith hermeneutics and Islamic visual ethics to address modernity’s challenges. This approach enables Muslims to navigate evolving traditions while upholding theological commitments through contextual adaptability.

Abstract

This article explores the complex relationship between the wicked actions of Lūṭ’s community, as described in the Qur’an, and the particular type of retribution, known as ‘adhāb, that they experienced. The study used a qualitative research approach to thoroughly examine the Qur’ānic passages, aiming to reveal subtle connections between crimes and divine punishment. This research enhances comprehension of the concept of divine justice as depicted in the Qur’an by utilizing the theoretical framework of the theory of retribution, provided in a thematical explanation. The inquiry delves into the causality of the ‘adhāb as an effect of human transgressions, and in the study of Lūṭ’s narrative, there are various torments bestowed. The findings not only reveal historical and moral lessons embedded in the account of Lūṭ’s tribe but also offer a methodological framework for examining comparable narratives in the Qur’ān. This study seeks to prompt debates on the deep correlations between human behavior and divine repercussions, enhancing understanding of Islamic scriptures’ ethical and spiritual lessons.
