Abstract

This study explores the ongoing variations in determining the beginning of the Hijri month in Indonesia, despite the official adoption of the Neo-MABIMS criteria by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research outlines and deductively analyzes data related to formulating and implementing these criteria. The findings reveal two key points: first, discrepancies persist in determining the beginning of the Hijri month. Since implementing the Neo-MABIMS criteria up to Jumada al-Awwal 1446 H, two months, Jumada al-Akhirah 1445 H, and Muharram 1446 H, have produced different outcomes. Second, even when identical criteria are applied, differences in methodological approaches may lead to either divergent or convergent results. This study recommends future research involving expert interviews to strengthen analytical depth and include updated observational data on Hijri month determination to enhance the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the findings.

Abstract

This study critically examines the widely circulated claim that a solar eclipse occurred on the day of Ḥusayn ibn ʿAli’s martyrdom during the Karbala tragedy (10 Muḥarram 61 AH / 10 October 680 CE). While the narrative appears in classical sources such as Tārīkh al-Khulafā’ by al-Suyuthi, it has rarely been subjected to rigorous interdisciplinary verification. This research addresses that gap by integrating historical-textual criticism with astronomical data analysis. Using a qualitative library-based approach, the study evaluates the reliability of the narrative through isnād and matn criticism, while cross-referencing it with NASA eclipse records and Stellarium simulations. The findings demonstrate that no solar eclipse occurred or was observable in the region on the stated date, thereby contradicting the historical claim. This suggests that the eclipse narrative functions primarily as a symbolic and theological construct rather than an empirical event. The study contributes to Islamic historiography by emphasizing the importance of methodological integration between traditional scholarship and modern scientific tools, offering a clearer distinction between symbolic religious narratives and historically verifiable facts.
