Abstract

The expansion of oil palm plantations in the Borneo region over the past few decades has generated intense debate concerning its ecological impacts, including deforestation, biodiversity loss, forest fires, and land-use change. This article aims to analyze this phenomenon through a thematic (maudhu‘i) exegetical approach to Qur’anic verses related to the environment, particularly the concepts of fasād fī al-arḍ (corruption on earth), the mandate of human vicegerency (amānah al-khilāfah), and the principle of balance (mīzān). This study employs a qualitative library-based research design using thematic exegesis by collecting relevant verses, examining their asbāb al-nuzūl (occasions of revelation) and munāsabah (textual coherence), and analyzing them through the lens of Islamic ecotheology and contemporary literature on ecological crisis. The findings indicate that the Qur’an normatively prohibits all forms of exploitation that result in systemic damage to ecosystems. The concept of fasād encompasses not only moral corruption but also ecological destruction caused by human excess and transgression (isrāf and ṭughyān). In the context of Borneo, oil palm expansion becomes problematic when its practices disregard principles of sustainability, ecological justice, and the ethical responsibility inherent in human vicegerency. Nevertheless, the Qur’an does not categorically reject economic activity; rather, it emphasizes maintaining a balance between resource utilization and environmental preservation. This study contributes to the advancement of Islamic ecotheological discourse by positioning thematic exegesis as a normative framework for assessing natural resource–based development practices. The findings underscore the urgency of integrating Qur’anic ethics into oil palm plantation management policies to ensure alignment with sustainability principles and ecological responsibility.

Abstract

This study investigates the persistence of transactional politics within Indonesia’s contemporary democratic framework and critically evaluates the phenomenon from the perspective of Islamic law. Previous studies have predominantly examined transactional politics through political science and economic approaches, with limited integration between modern democratic theory and the normative framework of fiqh siyāsah and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, creating a clear research gap in interdisciplinary analyses of political practices in Muslim-majority democracies. This research employs a normative legal approach grounded in library research, analysing statutory regulations, classical fiqh siyāsah literature, and contemporary studies of Indonesian electoral politics. Transactional politics is the exchange of electoral support, political loyalty, or policy influence for material benefits or strategic positions in electoral competition. The findings indicate that structural factors, including high campaign costs, patronage networks, and inconsistent enforcement of campaign finance regulations and the prohibition on political dowries, drive the persistence of transactional politics. By integrating deliberative democracy, political clientelism, and political exchange theory with Islamic legal principles, this study offers a theoretical contribution by developing an integrative analytical framework to explain and normatively evaluate transactional politics within the context of contemporary Indonesian democracy.

Abstract

This study analyzes the strategic role of Islamic education in preventing the dynamics of promiscuity in the 21st century in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design, this study involves teachers and ustadz of Islamic Religious Education, students and students aged 15-22 years, parents, and religious leaders in various formal and non-formal Islamic educational institutions. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and documentation studies, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman's thematic analysis model. The results of the study show that Islamic education plays a fundamental role in fortifying adolescents through three main pillars: faith as a spiritual foundation, sharia as a normative-practical guideline, and morals as a manifestation of values in daily behavior. Its effectiveness is influenced by the competence of educators, family support, a conducive social environment, and contextual learning strategies that integrate digital technology. Challenges include the rapid development of information technology, limited resources, and changes in social values that are increasingly permissive. This study concludes that the development of contextual curriculum, the improvement of educator competence, and the strengthening of the educational ecosystem based on school-family-community collaboration are key steps. The main contribution of this research is the presentation of an integrative model of Islamic education that is responsive to the challenges of the digital era and relevant to strengthening the character of the younger generation.

Abstract

This study examines the formation of Islamic identity among Indonesian millennial Muslims amid massive digital transformation. Employing a qualitative approach supported by a survey of 670 respondents across seven major cities (September 2022–February 2023), the research analyzes identity dynamics through the frameworks of primordialism, instrumentalism, and constructivism, elaborated with Homi K. Bhabha’s concept of hybridity. Findings reveal that Islamic identity is not formed through a linear shift from tradition to digital modernity, but through simultaneous dialectical negotiation. Identity legitimacy remains rooted in family bonds (80.63%) and ascribed identity (83.92%), while engagement in digital religious discourse is lowest (57.76%). Notably, religious community interaction via digital spaces reaches 91.98%, indicating that technology functions as an additional arena of articulation rather than a source of fundamental religious values. Millennial Muslim identity is hybrid in nature—preserving traditional religio-cultural roots while reflexively adapting to the digital ecosystem through continuous social negotiation within a third space. This identity construction is relational, contextual, and cannot be understood reductionistically.
