Abstract

This study aims to examine the thoughts, movements of iṣlāḥ (reform) and tajdīd (renewal) of Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 1111) and their relevance to the contemporary da‘wah. Based on a descriptively qualitative method and socio-historical approaches, this study shows that Al-Ghazālī prioritized self-reform before societal engagement. Al-Ghazālī emphasized Muslims’ mission to spread Islam and reform society. He identified societal issues, attributing the state of society to the knowledge and credibility of Islamic scholars, and advocated for nurturing new scholars, reforming education, reviving moral values, and promoting social justice. Furthermore, his ideas influenced the emergence of leaders like Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn al-Ayyūbī through educational reforms. In the contemporary context, al-Ghazālī’s thought and movement provide an understanding that the current problems of Muslims need to be resolved from a fundamental problem in the form of “moral reform”. The roles of ‘ulamā’ (scholars) and umarā’ (leaders) are two essential pillars of the ummah (community), and these two aspects must receive necessary attention in Islamic da‘wah.

Abstract

This article examines the opinion of the North Aceh District Ulama Consultative Assembly (MPU) on the marriage of pregnant women outside of marriage. Although it is a field study, it first examines the fiqh perspective on the topic, and then reviews the MPU board's opinion on the topic. The study proposes the finding that in Islamic fiqh, the marriage of a pregnant woman out of wedlock is debated based on the cause of the pregnancy. The Maliki, Hanbali and Abu Yusuf (Hanafi) schools of thought reject the validity of the marriage of a pregnant woman resulting from adultery, while the Shafi'i and Abu Hanifah schools of thought consider it valid. However, the marriage of a pregnant woman is generally considered invalid during the 'iddah period if she is pregnant from a legal or illegal relationship. The MPU of North Aceh stated that the marriage of a pregnant woman out of wedlock is legally valid but haram, as it can lead to the uncertainty of the child's nasab. They recommend that such marriages be avoided to prevent potential problems with nasab and other rights. The implications of this study show the importance of harmonization between fiqh rules and the needs of contemporary society in marriage law, as well as the need for community education to prevent marriages that can cause social and legal problems.
