Abstract

Marriage represents an essential stage in a Muslim’s life, undertaken after finding a suitable partner and achieving mental and financial readiness. This study explores the criteria for selecting a pious woman (woman ṣāliḥah) through an analysis of sanad and matan. The main objective is to identify and examine these criteria using perspectives from Hadith studies, sociology, and psychology. Theoretically, this research proposes a new conceptual framework that integrates traditional Hadith analysis with modern social and psychological insights. Academically, the findings are expected to enrich the field of Hadith Studies by offering new perspectives on how sanad and matan contribute to understanding women’s piety in the context of marriage. Practically, the study provides valuable guidance for society, especially for men seeking to build stable and harmonious marriages based on Islamic principles. The research employs a qualitative or library-based approach, analyzing textual sources and scholarly opinions. The study finds that the criteria for marrying a pious woman can be evaluated not only through religious authenticity but also from sociological and psychological standpoints. The original contribution of this work lies in its relevance to modern Muslim men, helping them identify key traits of a ṣāliḥah woman as a preferred choice in marriage. The findings suggest that marrying someone of the same faith and similar background enhances harmony and marital satisfaction. Homogamous marriages—those between individuals sharing values, beliefs, and lifestyles—tend to be more enduring and successful. In this context, ṣāliḥah refers to a woman with deep religious understanding and moral integrity.

Abstract

This research investigates the relationship between Sharia financial literacy, access to Islamic financing, and the sustainability of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in East Kalimantan, Indonesia—a strategically important region experiencing accelerated development as the site of the country’s new capital. Adopting a mixed-methods design, the study integrates quantitative data from a survey of 300 MSMEs analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with qualitative evidence obtained through in-depth interviews with MSME actors, Islamic bankers, and regulators. The quantitative results indicate that the constructs of Access to Capital and MSME Resilience exhibit strong reliability and validity, while the Financial Literacy construct requires further refinement, highlighting that general financial knowledge does not necessarily translate into competence in Sharia-compliant financial products. Qualitative findings further identify a communication gap between MSME owners’ demand for accessible and practical financial guidance and the complexity of offerings provided by financial institutions. The study concludes that strengthening MSME sustainability necessitates policy interventions that address these gaps through targeted Sharia financial education and inclusive Islamic financing schemes. This research contributes a validated holistic framework and provides practical policy recommendations for the development of contextualized Islamic financial literacy programs and digital inclusion strategies to reinforce Indonesia’s Sharia-based MSME ecosystem.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concept of the integration of religion and science from Nidhal Guessoum’s perspective, with a particular focus on its epistemological dimension and its relevance to the development of contemporary Islamic education. The study is motivated by the limited number of works that examine in depth the epistemological aspects of Guessoum’s integrative paradigm, while discourse on the integration of knowledge in the Muslim world has largely been dominated by normative approaches such as the Islamization of knowledge. This research employs a library research method with source triangulation and a descriptive-analytical approach through an examination of Guessoum’s major works and relevant scholarly literature. The findings indicate that the paradigm of knowledge integration he proposes is grounded in three main principles: the non-contradiction between revelation and science, layered interpretation, and theistic falsification. This approach rejects rigid models of i‘jaz al-Qur’an and the Islamization of knowledge, while emphasizing a rational dialogue between religion and science. This study contributes theoretically to the strengthening of Islamic epistemology and offers practical implications for the development of Islamic education that is scientific, contextual, and open to scientific advancement.

Abstract

This article explores the Sufi philosophy of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali as articulated in al-Munqidz min al-Dhalal. It examines the continuing relevance of al-Ghazali's Sufi thought to contemporary Islamic spirituality, with particular emphasis on education and the promotion of religious moderation. Employing a qualitative library-based research method, the study analyzes classical and modern primary and secondary sources. The findings reveal that spiritual purification (tazkiyat al-nafs) and the harmonization of intellect and inner conscience constitute fundamental pathways toward ma'rifatullah. Al-Ghazali's ideas remain significant for cultivating an Islamic spirituality that is rational, moderate, and ethically grounded. These insights advance Islamic studies and educational practice, especially in the design of a holistic educational framework capable of responding to modern spiritual challenges.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has created new opportunities and challenges in higher education, particularly for Muslim students who are expected to integrate Islamic values with entrepreneurial practices. This study analyzes students as agents of Islamic technopreneurship in the digital era by examining the influence of digital literacy on Islamic entrepreneurship. The research employed a quantitative descriptive design with linear regression analysis, involving 48 first-year students from the Early Childhood Islamic Education (PIAUD) and Islamic Education Management (MPI) programs at STIT Nusantara Bekasi who participated in the 2025 orientation program themed “Independent and Visionary Students: Building Islamic Entrepreneurship Based on Halal, Sunnah, and Local Wisdom in the Digital Era. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, homogeneity tests, and linear regression. The results show that the classical assumptions of normality and homogeneity were met, supporting the validity of the regression model. Furthermore, the findings reveal that digital literacy significantly influences Islamic entrepreneurship, with a contribution of 20.1%. This indicates that students’ digital competencies positively strengthen entrepreneurial values such as honesty, trustworthiness, and social benefit. The study concludes that students play an essential role as agents of Islamic technopreneurship, capable of integrating digital innovation with halal business principles and local wisdom. Practically, the results emphasize the importance for higher education institutions to enhance curriculum and training programs that merge digital skills with Islamic ethical values, thereby preparing competitive and visionary Muslim technopreneurs for the global marketplace.

Abstract

The phenomenon of clickbait news dissemination in online media has become a serious concern due to its potential influence on readers’ mindsets and behavior, particularly within Muslim communities. This study aims to analyze the impact of clickbait news on readers of PALTV.disway.id in Palembang City from the perspective of Islamic communication. The research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, utilizing observation, in-depth interviews with active readers, journalists, and religious figures, as well as documentation analysis. The findings indicate that clickbait news frequently leads to information misunderstanding and a decline in the quality of readers’ Islamic understanding, especially when headlines are not aligned with the content. From the perspective of Islamic communication, such practices contradict the principles of ṣidq (truthfulness), tablīgh (transparency), and amānah (trustworthiness) in information dissemination. Another finding reveals an increased level of skepticism toward media outlets that present Islamic issues, driven by the frequent use of provocative headlines unsupported by adequate content. This study highlights the urgency of integrity in Islamic journalism and the importance of media literacy within society. The integration of digital media analysis with Islamic communication principles constitutes the originality of this research. The results are expected to provide practical contributions for media practitioners, government institutions, and da‘wah organizations in formulating more ethical communication strategies, as well as academic contributions to the development of Islamic communication studies in the digital era.

Abstract

Standpoint epistemology, as articulated by Sandra Harding, challenges the claim of neutrality in modern science by situating knowledge within social relations of power. This framework emphasizes the epistemic significance of marginalized social positions as critical sites for revealing structural bias in knowledge production. Despite its extensive discussion within secular feminist theory and philosophy of science, standpoint epistemology has rarely been examined through Islamic epistemological frameworks. This study aims to critically examine Sandra Harding’s standpoint epistemology through the perspective of Islamic epistemology grounded in the principle of tawhid (divine unity). The research employs qualitative conceptual analysis using philosophical-critical methods, examining Harding’s major works in dialogue with the epistemological thought of Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas to assess their underlying assumptions, limitations, and epistemic implications. This article makes a conceptual contribution by proposing a tawhid-based reformulation of knowledge that offers a theologically grounded alternative to relativistic epistemic frameworks while retaining the ethical and critical insights of feminist standpoint epistemology.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the management of the flagship tahfidz al-Qur’an program in strengthening Qur’anic literacy at MI Taufiqiyah Semarang. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, utilizing interviews, observations, and documentation as data collection techniques. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that the strengthening of Qur’anic literacy is not solely determined by the tahfidz instructional method, but rather by the consistent implementation of management functions, including needs-based planning, competency-based organizing, gradual instructional implementation, and tiered as well as continuous evaluation. This managerial system contributes to improving students’ Qur’anic literacy quality, particularly in terms of reading fluency, accuracy of makhraj (articulation points), and the habituation of muroja’ah (systematic review). Theoretically, this study contributes by proposing an empirical model of tahfidz program management grounded in Qur’anic literacy at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah level, thereby extending the discourse of Islamic educational management from a predominantly administrative orientation toward strengthening religious literacy outcomes.
