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

This community service activity aims to improve the social skills of students with mild intellectual disabilities through the innovative TASBIQI (Tangga Sosial Bernilai Qur'ani or Qur'anic Values Social Ladder) game, which integrates Qur'anic values such as honesty, cooperation, and responsibility into a fun learning process. The implementation method used a participatory and applicative approach with three main stages: socialisation, implementation, and evaluation. The community service was carried out for two weeks at the Jenangan Ponorogo State Special School, involving five students with mild intellectual disabilities and one accompanying teacher. Data was obtained through observation of social behaviour, simple pre-tests and post-tests, and joint reflection with teachers. The results of the activity showed a significant improvement in the students' social behaviour, particularly in honesty, cooperation, and communication, with an average score increase of around 35%. Teachers and students showed high enthusiasm, and the TASBIQI media was considered easy to adapt in the learning process. The novelty of this activity lies in the integration of Qur'anic values into interactive game media specifically designed for children with mild intellectual disabilities. The policy implications of this activity encourage schools and education stakeholders to adopt creative and contextual learning media in supporting inclusive education.
