Abstract

While the Hajj pilgrimage has significant economic dimensions, these are often underexamined from a theological perspective. This study aims to delineate the economic benefits of the Hajj as an integral component of its divine design. Adopting a qualitative, library-based methodology, this research performs a thematic analysis of the exegesis (tafsīr) of key Quranic passages, primarily from Surah Āli 'Imrān, Surah Al-Baqarah, and Surah Al-Hajj, to construct a holistic economic framework. The findings reveal a consistent Quranic theme that integrates economic activity into the pilgrimage. This is presented in a three-phase model: (1) Pre-Hajj economic mobilization, divinely catalyzed by the principle of financial capability (istiṭā'ah); (2) During-Hajj commerce, explicitly sanctioned as seeking "bounty" and witnessing "benefits" (manāfi'); and (3) a Post-Hajj sustained global economic cycle, rooted in the Quranic vision of a worldwide gathering. The central argument is that these economic facets are not incidental but are foundational to the Hajj's divinely ordained purpose. This study contributes a robust theological framework that moves beyond the spiritual-versus-material debate, establishing the Hajj as an integrated spiritual-economic institution that requires a holistic understanding.

Abstract

This article re-examines Javanese Sufism through the lenses of hierarchy, determinism, and free will, adding an explicit economic-political dimension often absent from earlier studies. Drawing on participant observations in three pesantren, semi-structured interviews, and textual analysis of classical and Javanese scholarship, the analysis showed how charismatic teachers and guides converted spiritual authority into material patronage networks, while disciples negotiated between Jabarī rhetoric and pragmatic agency. Two ideal types emerged: an ascetic current that framed free will as self-discipline and distance from power and a common, devotional current that sacralized the submission of the self through collective dhikr and pilgrimage economies. These two approaches can explain Sufism’s success in spreading Islam in Java and its current traction among economically marginal groups. By linking doctrinal debate with money flow, the study extends current scholarship on religion and social change and provides a framework for assessing governance and accountability in Sufi institutions. Sufi institutions are advised to adopt transparent budget disclosure and participatory decision-making so that charismatic authority is balanced by measurable good governance safeguards.

Abstract

The research examines the intellectual journey of Hasan al-Turabi regarding gender and the role of women in Islam. Al-Turabi, an influential Muslim scholar, demonstrates the evolution of his perspectives across several dimensions. This study analyzes Al-Turabi's progressive views on women's role and political participation and their impact on Sudan's Islamic women's movement. However, there is controversy concerning his opinions on leadership, female testimony in Islamic law, and polygamy. This research also illustrates how interpretations of religious teachings shape perceptions of gender equality and the role of religion in initiating social change. Al-Turabi encourages the Muslim community to reexamine sacred texts within the context of the modern era, seeking egalitarian values that align with the spirit of Islam. This exploration highlights the complexity of debates surrounding religion and tradition in the context of social change while promoting a broader understanding of the dynamics of contemporary Muslim societies.

Abstract

The rapid emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has led to the creation of "griefbots" and "digital afterlife" technologies, which simulate interaction with the deceased. This development raises critical, unexamined questions about its impact on bereavement within established religious frameworks. This paper aims to analyze the theopsychological and ethical implications of these technologies from the perspective of Islamic counseling. This study employs a qualitative, library-based research design. It conducts a thematic and comparative analysis of two distinct bodies of literature: classical Islamic texts on spiritual psychology and contemporary academic literature on the psychological and ethical dimensions of grief technology. The findings reveal a profound conflict between the function of griefbots and the Islamic framework for grief. The technology's "illusion of continuity" fundamentally contradicts the core Islamic principle of accepting God's decree (qadr), thus impeding healthy mourning. Furthermore, the artificial dependency fostered by these simulations undermines the spiritual practice of reliance on God (tawakkul), replacing it with a technological surrogate. From an ethical perspective based on the objectives of Islamic law (maq??id al-shar??ah), the technology is identified as a potential source of harm (mafsadah) to an individual's faith and intellect. The study concludes that AI-driven grief technologies are spiritually and psychologically incongruent with a healthy Islamic grieving process. This necessitates the development of a specialized therapeutic approach. The primary implication is the proposed Islamic counseling framework, which provides practical, theologically grounded strategies for guiding individuals away from digital illusions and toward authentic spiritual healing.

Abstract

The phenomenon of sound horeg as a form of excessive and competitive contemporary cultural expression has raised theological, social, and ethical issues that urgently need to be studied scientifically. This practice is not merely entertainment, but has shifted to become a symbol of luxury and public arrogance that has social, medical, and moral implications. This research is important because there has been no comprehensive legal-theological study that systematically assesses this phenomenon from an Islamic legal perspective. Using a qualitative and interpretive theological-legal approach, this study combines the taḥqīq al-manāṭ method (empirical investigation of factual reality) with Mustafa Muslim's inductive thematic interpretation, which interprets verses of the Qur'an through keyword analysis and the context of revelation. The synthesis of the interpretation results is then integrated with the principles of uṣūl al-fiqh and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, especially lā ḍarara wa lā ḍirār, to produce a contextually relevant legal analysis. The results of the study show that sound horeg, in its current form, fundamentally contradicts the principles of Islamic ethics and law because it contains elements of wastefulness (isrāf and tabdzīr), public harm (ḍarar), immoral entertainment (lahw al-ḥadīth), and social arrogance (kibr). These findings confirm that Islamic jurisprudence has adequate methodological tools to navigate modern phenomena without losing its normative values, while opening opportunities for the development of a constructive cultural ethical model that is in line with the objectives of Sharia.

Abstract

This study revisits the prohibition of khamr through a multidisciplinary lens to address the challenges of modern addictive substance abuse. Its objective is to test the compatibility of the Qur'anic prohibition with evidence from neuroscience and toxicology, while simultaneously formulating a contextual Islamic legal framework. This study develops an epistemological convergence matrix that maps neurobiological and toxicological indicators as the ‘illah (effective cause) of law within the framework of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah. The methodology combines a thematic exegesis (tafsīr mawḍū‘ī) of verses on khamr, a comparative analysis of five schools of jurisprudence (madhāhib), and a synthesis of laboratory data on the neurological, physiological, and social damage caused by alcohol, cocaine, heroin, and synthetic psychoactive substances. Validity is maintained through triangulation with experts in exegesis, neurology, and toxicology. The findings indicate an expansion of the definition of khamr from fermented beverages to the functional category of “any substance that envelops the intellect.” Brain imaging reveals a reduction in dopamine receptors and hypofunction of the prefrontal cortex; toxicological data show a narrow margin of exposure and systemic organ damage. A matrix based on Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah affirms that addictive substances simultaneously threaten the preservation of intellect (ḥifẓ al-‘aql), life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), property (ḥifẓ al-māl), progeny (ḥifẓ al-nasl), and religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn). The convergence of exegesis and science yields an integrated policy model: legal prohibition, neuroscience-based education, and spiritual rehabilitation proven to reduce relapse rates. This study concludes that the Qur'anic prohibition of khamr possesses strong empirical rationality, while also providing an ethical foundation for narcotics regulation in contemporary Muslim societies. The findings underscore the importance of sustained transdisciplinary dialogue to respond to the emergence of new synthetic substances and to evaluate the effectiveness of Maqāṣid-based policies.
