Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explore the phenomenon of homosexuality in the contemporary world from the perspective of the prophetic traditions (Hadith) and to determine how Islamic teachings address the changing perception of sexuality. Through a qualitative thematic content analysis, this paper investigates hadiths of sexual behavior, including prophylactic moral norms and guardians of social ethics. Materials and methods: Data were extracted from six abridged versions of the canonical hadith collections. Using an approach that combines contextuality and normativity guided the analysis of Hadith in the light of the modern social context. The results suggest that the Hadith tradition maintains the heterosexual model as a normative ideal, providing moral advice to discourage deviant (including same-sex) practices through spiritual and legally-based dissuasive sanctions. This research demonstrates that prophetic preaching emphasizes legal prohibitions and promotes a proactive moral cultivation of acts as a preventative framework. The study's practical impact is offering reference material to those in Islamic education (teachers), preaching, and policy-making circles on how to critically and constructively respond to the problem of homosexuality that combines moral rigor with spiritual direction. What makes this book unique is its unified perspective that references both classical religious literature and modern social practices, thereby allowing for a comprehensive and sophisticated view of the function of Hadith in combating modern moral issues.

Abstract

The principle of taklīf (religious obligation) within the limits of human capacity represents one of God’s blessings upon His creation. Allāh (SWT) has removed hardship in its implementation, ensuring that all individuals can fulfil His commands and avoid His prohibitions. The Qur’an explicitly emphasises that Allāh does not impose a burden beyond the ability of His creatures. The issue addressed in this study concerns the meaning of taklīf in the Qur’an. This inquiry corrects the common misconception among laypeople that paradise can only be attained by those who possess extensive religious knowledge and perform intensive acts of worship—such as highly concentrated prayers, lengthy recitations, abundant deeds, or eloquent Qur’anic recitation. In reality, attaining paradise is not as difficult as often imagined. This research aims to explore and clarify the meaning of taklīf in the Qur’an. The study employs a descriptive-analytical method, which involves presenting all relevant data concerning the subject matter and analysing it by examining the various aspects embedded in the interpreted verses. This research adopts a qualitative, library-based approach. The novelty of this study lies in uncovering the semantic dimensions of taklīf in the Qur’an through key terms such as kataba, faraḍa, lāzim, amara, and wajaba. The findings suggest that taklīf should not be understood merely as a burden, but rather as an obligation intended to facilitate human practice of religion. When individuals immerse themselves excessively in spiritual practices without considering divine ease, they may fail to perform religious duties properly. Islam provides rukhṣah (dispensations) to maintain balance, and neglecting them by insisting on ʿazīmah (the original strict ruling) when concessions are permitted may impose unnecessary hardship. This research concludes that the meaning of taklīf encompasses five key semantic expressions—kataba, faraḍa, lāzim, amara, and wajaba—which collectively convey the sense of obligation and responsibility that does not impose undue difficulty.l

Abstract

This study conducts a scientific exegesis (Tafsir ‘ilmi) of Qur’an 16:68-69, which describes divine inspiration bestowed upon honeybees and the production of a healing drink from their abdomens. Using a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach and the tahlil method, classical and modern interpretation sources were integrated with contemporary findings in apidology and apitherapy. Major exegetes (Ibn Kathir, al-Tabari, al-Qurtubi, Saayid Qutb, Tantawi Jauhri, et al.) Unanimously interpreted “awha” as divinely instilled instinct accurately anticipating modern discoveries of hexagonal hive geometry, waggle dance communication, and age based polytheism. Scientific evidence confirms that bee products (honey, royal jelly, propolis, pollen, venom, beeswax) contain bioactive compounds with proven antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and wound-healing properties for validating the Qur’anic claim of “healing for people” (Syifaul linnas). The findings illustrate profound harmony between seventh-century revelation and twenty-first-century biology and medicine, affirming the Qur’an’s role as both theological guidance and empirically verifiable natural observation while underscoring bee’s ecological and therapeutic significance.
