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

This study aims to analyze public awareness in fulfilling zakat obligations at Lazismu PDM Sukoharjo by examining the influence of zakat literacy, trust in zakat management institutions, and religious understanding based on the interpretation of Surah At-Taubah verse 103. The verse emphasizes that zakat is not merely a financial obligation, but also a means of spiritual and moral purification with deep social dimensions. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing data collection techniques such as literature review, in-depth interviews, and direct observation. The findings reveal that zakat awareness among the people of Sukoharjo remains relatively low, as reflected in the zakat collection realization which only reached 2.90% of the total potential of IDR 48.7 billion. Low levels of zakat literacy, limited theological comprehension, and lack of trust in zakat institutions are the primary factors influencing muzaki compliance. Conversely, Lazismu PDM Sukoharjo has taken strategic initiatives through educational programs rooted in Qur’anic interpretation, financial transparency, digital zakat services (QRIS, e-wallet, SIM), social media fundraising, and economic empowerment of zakat recipients through productive zakat schemes. This study affirms that enhancing zakat awareness requires not only formal and structural approaches but also integrated spiritual and cultural engagement. The synergy between religious understanding, zakat literacy, technological innovation, and institutional credibility serves as the key to establishing an inclusive, sustainable, and impactful zakat management system for empowering the Muslim community.

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.
