Abstract

The diversity of interpretations surrounding the prohibitive figure in QS. Ali ‘Imran [3]: 118, reflected in the terms biṭānah and min dūnikum as presented by various interpreters, carries the potential to foster exclusive behaviors within Muslim communities, especially in multi-religious regions. This study seeks to uncover the historical meaning intended in the verse to clarify the nature of this figure. Utilizing a qualitative approach, with the ma'nā-cum-maghzā method as an analytical tool, the research reveals that biṭānah refers to a close confidant who is granted access to personal information. Interpretations commonly align on this understanding, which contrasts with the term min dūnikum. The latter term is deeply embedded in its immediate context, pointing to a figure who lacks the same level of discretion or shared vision within a friendship. The divergence in vision leads to a potential for betrayal, prompting the verse to issue a caution regarding relationships with such individuals. This caution stems from the character of those who, not sharing the same vision, may harbor ill intentions, both physically and spiritually. The study concludes that the significance of min dūnikumlies not in religious identity but in the nature of the friendship, where differing visions can lead to a propensity for betrayal, even among members of the same community.

Abstract

The Friday prayer call (adhan) varies across mosques in Indonesia. A unique tradition is found at Sholihin Mosque, located on Jalan Kaliurang Km 9.3, Tambakan, Sinduharjo, Ngaglik, Sleman, where five muezzins simultaneously recite the first adhan. Although this practice has been maintained for years, its normative basis and deeper meaning remain largely unexplored by the local community. This qualitative study employs historical documentation as the primary data collection method, supplemented by interviews and observations, emphasizing interviews involving relevant figures such as the muezzins, mosque administrators (takmir), and congregants. The data are analyzed using a descriptive-interpretative approach, in which the information is organized, interpreted, and concluded using Max Weber’s theory of social action. In addition, relevant hadith texts from the nine canonical collections (Kutub al-Tis’ah) and other supporting Islamic literature are used to enrich the analysis. The findings reveal that the first adhan performed by five muezzins is understood by the community as a cultural and religious identity unique to Sholihin Mosque, valued for its historical background, religious grounding, and distinctiveness. Furthermore, this tradition is viewed by the muezzins as a form of worship believed to bring spiritual reward in the hereafter. These perspectives motivate the community’s commitment to preserving the practice as a meaningful expression of local religious life within the broader context of living hadith.
