Abstract

One of the hadiths that has broad implications for the formation of Muslim identity is the hadith prohibiting resemblance to non-Muslims (tasyabbuh). In contemporary social realities, this hadith is frequently invoked as a basis for legal debates concerning various social practices, cultural expressions, and symbols that intersect with non-Muslim traditions. This study aims to examine the meaning of the hadith prohibiting tasyabbuh through a comparative analysis of the perspectives of classical and contemporary scholars. This research employs a library-based qualitative method with a comparative approach, grounded in textual analysis of the hadith and scholarly interpretations across different periods. The findings indicate that both classical and contemporary scholars share fundamental principles in understanding the hadith on tasyabbuh, particularly in affirming the prohibition of resembling non-Muslims in matters of creed (ʿaqīdah), worship (ʿibādah), and religious symbols (shiʿār al-dīn). The differences that emerge are primarily methodological, especially in responding to modern social and cultural changes. Contemporary scholars emphasize the classification of forms of tasyabbuh, the distinction between acts of worship and customary practices, as well as considerations of intention and potential harm (mafsadah). Thus, these differences are not contradictory but complementary, aiming to safeguard the purity of faith and the identity of the Muslim community in accordance with the context of each era.

Abstract

Academic writing is a fundamental component of higher education, particularly for postgraduate students in Islamic studies, where scientific writing serves as a medium for preserving, developing, and disseminating knowledge. However, many students still encounter difficulties in translating theoretical understanding into effective academic writing practice. This study aims to analyze the understanding and challenges faced by postgraduate students of the Islamic University of Madinah in writing academic scientific papers. The research employs a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with students from various study programs. The collected data were analyzed descriptively to reveal students’ perceptions, experiences, as well as internal and external factors influencing the process of academic writing. The findings indicate that students generally possess a good understanding of the nature of scientific writing, including the distinction between scientific and non-scientific works in terms of objectives, methods, content, and language. However, in practice, they continue to face various challenges, both internal and external. Internal challenges include low self-confidence, limited writing habits, weak time management, procrastination, and insufficient proficiency in academic Arabic. Meanwhile, external challenges involve limited access to relevant references, inadequate guidance and training in academic writing, and the lack of a consistently established reading and writing culture within the campus environment. This study highlights the importance of strengthening academic culture, providing continuous mentoring, and developing academic writing skills to improve the quality of scientific works produced by students of Islamic studies.
