Abstract

The folktales of Mirah and Golan in Ponorogo, East Java, Indonesia, are deeply embedded with cultural and social values, reflecting political polarity closely linked to group conflicts and dynamics. This journal analyzes the political polarization depicted in these folktales by identifying the groups involved, their political ideologies, and the forms of conflict that emerge from these ideological divides. Using a qualitative approach and narrative analysis, the study explores the underlying meanings and messages within the tales of Mirah and Golan. The analysis reveals that these folktales illustrate conflicts and group dynamics resulting from divergent political perspectives. These narratives highlight the political polarization experienced by communities within the stories and echo similar phenomena observed in contemporary political landscapes. By examining these folktales, the research sheds light on how historical and cultural narratives can mirror and inform our understanding of current political issues, providing valuable insights into the nature of political conflicts and group interactions in historical and modern contexts.

Abstract

The following paper discusses the trend in modern revisionist discourse about Qur'ānic studies with the critical engagement of John Wansbrough's idea. Known for his historical and literary criticism, Wansbrough claimed that the Qur'an was a product of Jewish and Christian traditions, and its canonization is of much later origin than that which is ascribed to the time of the Prophet Muhammad. While influential, this thesis has been criticized as an attack on the authenticity of the Qur'ān. This paper looks at the methodology and arguments of Wansbrough in light of scholars such as Fazlur Rahman, who question the assumptions of revisionism. Through qualitative library-based research, this paper highlights some of the methodological flaws in Wansbrough's approach and proposes alternatives that are in tune with Qur'ānic studies. The findings raise the need to respond to such criticisms if misinterpretations so rife in current Qurānic discourses are to be averted. This is a research contribution to the ongoing scholarly conversation on revisionist methodologies and textual interpretation in Qur'ānic studies.

Abstract

Global civilizational discourse remains entangled in epistemological asymmetries, wherein Western imperialism is exalted as a vehicle of progress while the Caliphate is vilified as a relic of despotism. This study interrogates such distortions, arguing that the Caliphate paradigm rooted in the Qur’anic principle of tawḥīd constitutes a theological and geopolitical antithesis to imperialism’s anthropocentric domination. Employing qualitative library research, this paper integrates critical discourse analysis, thematic Qur’anic exegesis (tafsīr maudūʿī), and comparative geopolitical insights through a decolonial epistemological lens (Santos). The findings reveal that the Caliphate positions sovereignty as a divine amānah, operationalized through maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, in stark contrast to the exploitative structures of imperialism evidenced by historical wealth extractions from colonized territories. Geopolitically, the Qur’anic ideal of ummah waḥidah (Q. 21:92) challenges colonial legacies of fragmentation, such as the Sykes-Picot Agreement, which has left 78% of Muslim-majority nations geopolitically vulnerable (FSI, 2023). Epistemologically, the paper advocates for an autonomous Islamic political framework by decentering Eurocentric constructs like the nation-state and rearticulating khilāfah beyond Orientalist tropes of tyranny (Said). In conclusion, the Caliphate is not a romanticized anachronism but a viable, justice-oriented paradigm—ontologically rooted in tawḥīd, geopolitically structured around unity, and epistemologically enabled through decolonized knowledge ecologies. It demands a reimagining of political theology that transcends imperial residues and asserts an authentically Islamic civilizational vision.

Abstract

The escalating global ecological crisis necessitates a new approach for a new approach to reconstruct the relationship between humans and nature. One relevant philosophical perspective is deep ecology, which emphasizes the intrinsic equality of all ecological entities and advocates for a radical transformation of the dominant anthropocentric paradigm. Although often associated with Western thought, this concept finds resonance in the discourse of Islamic ecotheology. This research aims to examine the ecological principles in the exegesis of the Qur'an through a comparative analysis of the thoughts of two prominent figures in contemporary Islamic eco-philosophy: Mutawalli al-Sya'rawi and Fazlun Khalid. This study employs a qualitative comparative analysis of the exegetical works of al-Sya'rawi and Fazlun Khalid, focusing on their interpretations of key Qur'anic verses central to ecological ethics, such as the concepts of the Trust (QS Al-Aḥzāb: 72), Balance (QS Al-Raḥmān: 7-9), and the inherent value of creation (QS Al-Anʿām: 38).The findings reveal that al-Sya'rawi developed a metaphysical and spiritual framework. Viewing nature as a divine hierophany (tajalli), while Khalid offers a pragmatic-participatory ecological ethics grounded in maqāṣid syarī'ah and the prophetic sunnah. This research contributes to the enrichment of Islamic ecological epistemology through the complementary synthesis of these two approaches and provides an integrative perspective on the role of Islam as a transformative solution to the global environmental crisis.
