Abstract

This study describes the contextualization of the utilization of zakat assets based on the current context so that zakat assets can be used as social instruments in overcoming various problems faced by modern Muslim society. The method used is the Mafhum Muwafaqah, which extends the meaning of a text from the explicit meaning to the implied meaning as long as the meaning is still correlated with the explicit meaning. No research results have explained this object using the understanding of the muwafaqah approach, so this research contains an element of novelty. This Article concluded that the eight ashnaf targets of zakat as mentioned in the verse in sura al-Maidah 63, are not limited in nature but can be expanded in the scope of meaning. Poor-poor Ashnaf can expand its scope to fund home renovations, pay mortgages/home loans, and pay BPJS Health and BPJS Employment contributions. Muallaf are not limited to people but can expand their reach to legal entities or social institutions, such as muallaf centres, efforts to stem Christianization, publishing books to enlighten people prone to apostasy and others. Freeing enslaved people can broaden the scope of its meaning by providing employment for migrant workers and providing legal assistance to migrant workers who are involved in legal problems in other countries. Gharimin can expand its scope to charitable and philanthropic institutions, Sabilillah can expand to strategic community projects, such as water pipe connections clean, and Ibnu Sabil can expand its reach to provide comfort to volunteers handling natural disasters

Abstract

This study critically examines the concept of nationhood and nationalism as understood by the Salafi group and analyzes the implementation of hadiths related to nationalism within the framework of contemporary Islamic law. Using a qualitative field research approach, the study focuses on approximately 200 Salafi adherents spread across Java and Sumatra. Informants were selected through purposive sampling, and data collection methods included interviews, surveys, and documentation. The research uncovers diverse interpretations of nationhood and nationalism within the Salafi community. A minority of Salafi adherents view nationalism as lacking a strong foundation in Islamic law, considering it a secular concept incompatible with Shari'ah. However, the majority, influenced by contextualist approaches in contemporary Islamic jurisprudence, argue that nationalism aligns with Islamic principles, particularly when understood as a form of maslahah and ukhuwwah wathaniyyah. This perspective is supported by contemporary Islamic scholars who emphasize protecting societal harmony and national unity as part of maqasid al-shari'ah. In practice, Salafi adherents demonstrate their acceptance of nationalism through various socio-religious activities. For instance, Salafi educational institutions integrate the study of Indonesia's independence history into their curriculum, emphasizing the moral responsibility of contributing to national welfare. This study makes academic contributions by providing a deep understanding of how contemporary Salafi groups connect Islamic teachings with modern concepts of nationhood, enriching the discourse on the adaptability of Islamic law in addressing contemporary socio-political challenges, and offering a practical framework for integrating religious values with national identity. It also contributes to discussions on pluralism and nation-building within an Islamic context.
