Abstract

This study offers an interpretive, semantic, and educational analysis of the story of Moses and al-Khidr in Surah al-Kahf (verses 60–82). It focuses on the symbolic and geographical dimensions of place and its role in shaping the educational and epistemological experience of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). The research adopts an integrative approach that combines classical Qur’anic exegesis, Islamic mysticism, and theories of symbolic space in religious and philosophical thought. The story is analyzed as a sequence of transitional phases in a geographical space that goes beyond physical description, carrying spiritual and pedagogical implications. These stages include the symbolic starting point at the "junction of the two seas," the loss of the fish, the meeting with al-Khidr, and the three events (the scuttling of the ship, the killing of the boy, and the building of the wall). The research shows how Qur’anic geography transforms into a multi-layered semantic space, where each place represents a stage in Moses’ inner transformation, from acquired knowledge to divinely inspired knowledge, and from the logic of appearance to the insight of the unseen. The study reveals that the setting in this story is not merely a background for events, but rather an active educational element that contributes to shaping major concepts such as knowledge, submission, spiritual excellence (ihsan), and epistemic humility. The research concludes that Qur’anic pedagogy is deeply intertwined with its symbolic and emotional contexts and relies on them to form the ideal human being.

Abstract

Akhism, which flourished in Anatolia from the 13th to the 20th century, was a distinctive socio-economic and moral organization grounded in the ethical teachings of the Qur’an, Hadith, and Sufism. Beyond functioning as a guild for artisans, it served as a social and moral institution that fostered integrity, solidarity, and justice within the community. This study aims to examine how Qur’anic values shaped the ideological foundations and social functions of Akhism within the Ottoman context. Employing a qualitative approach with a cultural-historical focus, the research draws upon diverse sources, including historical documents, Fütüvvetnâme texts, the Qur’an, Hadith, and other records relevant to Akhism. The researcher acts as the primary instrument, applying data reduction, data display, and conclusion-drawing techniques to interpret findings. The analysis reveals that Akhism represented a dynamic synthesis of Qur’anic ethics and Sufi spirituality, operating simultaneously as a moral compass and a social regulator. This study finds that Akhism exemplifies how scriptural values can sustain social harmony, ethical discipline, and cultural resilience within medieval Turkish society. Contribution: This study contributes to understanding the embodiment of Qur’anic ethics in socio-economic structures, offering Akhism as a historical model of Islamic ethical praxis in public life.

Abstract

This study explores the role of spatiality in the Qur’anic narrative of Prophet Moses, examining six central locations, Egypt, the river, the palace, Midian, the sea, and Mount Ṭur as transformative stages in the prophetic journey.  Drawing upon classical Qur’anic exegesis and Gadamerian hermeneutics, the research employs a textual-analytical approach to explore how each place functions not merely as a geographical site but as a locus of divine pedagogy and existential formation. The study addresses a gap in Qur’anic studies and educational philosophy by highlighting how spatial interpretation reveals the pedagogical dimensions of prophetic experience and the construction of spiritual identity. Through this lens, the paper contributes to developing a Qur’anic philosophy of sacred space and deepens understanding of divine education in the Qur’anic worldview.

Abstract

This study examines the potential of Maqasid al-Shariah as an ethical and educational framework for enhancing the role of faculty members at the University of Zawia in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals. A structured questionnaire was administered to 100 lecturers across various disciplines, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings reveal moderate awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals, strong recognition of the relevance of maqasid, but limited institutional implementation in curriculum, governance, and community outreach. Key challenges include insufficient training for lecturers, weak institutional strategies, and limited administrative support. The study contributes a localized model for integrating Islamic ethical values with global development goals and highlights concrete policy implications for strengthening faculty development, curriculum reform, and institutional planning within the Libyan higher education context.

Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly influenced religious studies, particularly in the analysis and interpretation of sacred texts. This study critically examines the role of AI in Qur’anic interpretation by addressing its epistemic capabilities, ethical limitations, and claims to interpretive authority. Employing a qualitative, literature-based research design, this study analyzes peer-reviewed scholarship on AI and religion, computational hermeneutics, natural language processing of sacred texts, and algorithmic bias, alongside classical and contemporary works in Islamic epistemology and Qur’anic exegesis. The findings indicate that while AI demonstrates high proficiency in linguistic processing, semantic consistency, and structural analysis of religious texts, it lacks epistemic understanding, moral intentionality, and ontological subjectivity. From the perspective of Islamic epistemology, knowledge is inseparable from consciousness, ethical responsibility, and interpretive accountability—dimensions that AI cannot possess. Moreover, algorithmic bias and the risk of decontextualization further challenge the use of AI as an autonomous interpretive authority in religious contexts. This study argues that AI should be positioned as an instrumental analytical tool rather than a subject of interpretation in Qur’anic exegesis. Its primary contribution lies in articulating a clear epistemological boundary between computational processing and hermeneutical understanding, thereby offering a critical framework for the ethical and responsible integration of AI within Islamic studies and religious scholarship more broadly.

Abstract

This study examines how the Libyan Dar al-Ifta (2012-2016) implements ahkam on triple divorce pronounced in a single utterance (ṭalāq al-thalāth bi-lafẓ wāḥid) or closely related patterns which related to divorce counting. Using a qualitative, document-based design method and juristic content analysis, the study examines a purposive corpus of published fatwas addressing (1) explicit numerical pronouncements “by three”, (2) repeated utterances (ṭāliq / hiya ṭāliq) framed as emphasis versus multiple enactments, and (3) conditional divorce and divorce oaths. Results show that the majority juristic position and authoritative transmissions are used to enforce the fatwa (explicit-number and conditional “three”). Repetition treated as emphasis under constrained intention. Moreover, the study reveals an institutional duality in Libya in which fatwas often enforce conditional or oath-based triggers and count explicit-number pronouncements as three if the awareness is present. On the other hand, Law No. 10 of 1984 limits the effect of numbered divorce to one, prevents conditional divorce and divorce-oath effects. This contradiction between the fatwas and the law is interpreted as a distribution of Maqāṣid across institutions, where prevention and safeguarding the seriousness of divorce language are emphasized in fatwa practice, while harm reduction and family stability are institutionalized through legal policy and procedure. This study, empirically, contributes the ongoing discussions of fatwa reasoning in society and clarifies how the tension between Ibn Abbas hadith and the majority pathway is managed and understood as evidence or an exception rather than a rule.
From Judicial Permission to Judicial Governance: Polygamy Regulation under Libyan Family Law (1984–2015) Masuwd, Mowafg; Barkah, Sami; Aladi, Salem; Alrumayh, Safa; Hasan, Laylay; Omar, Zaynab; Ayad, Nahid

Abstract

This study analyzes the judicial regulation of polygamy in the Libyan family law using socio-legal and maqasid al-shariʿah framework. Focusing on Law No. 10 of 1984 on Marriage and Divorce and its amendments (1991, 1994, and the 2015 deletion of Article 13), the study traces how polygamy shifted from jurisprudential (fiqhi) permissibility to judicial restriction subject to authorization, contestation, and potential refusal. Using qualitative doctrinal analysis supported by socio-legal contextualization, the research examines how the authorization mechanisms have transformed polygamy from a private spousal privilege to a legally conditioned practice subject to state supervision and refusal. The findings show an institutional shift in the role of Libyan courts from verifying formal requirements to evaluating financial capacity, potential harm, and family welfare, especially after the 1994 “serious reasons” standard. The article argues that these restrictions are better understood as a maqasid-oriented understanding of justice and harm prevention rather than as a departure from Shariʿah. By linking statutory law, judicial discretion power, and socio-political context, the study contributes to the continuous debates on Islamic family law reform, the role of courts in Muslim-majority countries, and the normative foundations for regulating marital practices.

Abstract

Islamic higher education encounters a continuous challenge in integrating classical Islamic heritage (Turath) with modern knowledge in a consistent and meaningful way. This study examines to which extent Islamic education programs balance Turath (classical Islamic heritage) and modern knowledge in the Faculties of Sharia and Islamic Studies at the University of Zawia, Libya. Using a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design, quantitative data were collected from 350 students through a structured questionnaire, followed by qualitative interviews with 20 lecturers to provide deep insights. The findings indicate that students demonstrate a high appreciation for both Turath (M = 4.34, SD = 0.79) and modern knowledge (M = 4.08, SD = 0.96), reflecting strong support for an integrative model of Islamic education. However, curriculum balance was rated at a moderate level (M = 3.35, SD = 1.07), suggesting that integration between the two domains remains insufficient. Teaching practices were also perceived as moderately effective (M = 3.73, SD = 0.96), with limitations in fostering critical engagement and application. Furthermore, students identified significant challenges (M = 4.09, SD = 0.90), particularly the overreliance on memorization, weak linkage between theory and practice, and limited institutional coordination. Qualitative findings confirm that these challenges rooted in structural fragmentation, lack of a unified curriculum framework, and insufficient pedagogical training. The study concludes that while the conceptual foundation for integration exists, effective implementation requires systematic curriculum reform, pedagogical innovation, and institutional integration.
