Abstract

This research aims to conduct a philological study of the Malay manuscript entitled Kitab Khutbah Bulan Muharram by Guru Haji Ismail Mundu (1870 - 1957 AD). This research is motivated by the importance of preserving the Malay manuscript heritage as an intellectual and spiritual source of the archipelago, especially in West Kalimantan. The methods used include physical inventory of manuscripts, cataloging studies, digital photography, and text variant analysis to produce a clean and critical edition of the text. The results of the discussion of physical condition are still good even though there are stains and translucent ink, as well as neatly sewn and stored in a pest-proof box. The text description reveals that the sermon structure consists of praise to Allah, salawat to the Prophet, advice on fasting the ten Muharram, and the story of the martyrdom of Husain bin Ali, presented in Arabic-Malay letters. Researchers also highlighted a number of reading variants and writing of Arabic terms that need to be standardized. These findings are important to provide a philological edition that can be used as a reference for further studies in the field of Malay culture and religion.

Abstract

The concept of tawakkal in the Qur’an is often misunderstood as an attitude of surrender without effort, whereas essentially it reflects the integration of human endeavor and dependence on the will of God. Islamic Religious Education (PAI) as an instrument for forming religious character requires an in-depth study of this concept from various perspectives. This study aims to reveal the dimensions of tawakkal in the Qur’an through theological, sociological, and psychological approaches, and to answer the formulation of the problem of how is tawakkal in theological, sociological, and psychological perspectives? The research method used is library research with a qualitative descriptive approach. The main source of this study is the Qur’an, supported by literature on interpretation, Islamic psychology, sociology, and the thoughts of classical and contemporary Islamic figures such as Al-Ghazali, Fazlur Rahman, and Malik Badri. The results of the study show that theologically, tawakkal is a manifestation of monotheism and faith in the power of Allah which brings peace of mind. From a sociological perspective, tawakkal encourages collaboration, social responsibility, and building a resilient society. Meanwhile, from a psychological perspective, tawakkal becomes an effective spiritual coping strategy in improving mental health and emotional stability. The integration of these three perspectives enriches the development of a more holistic and contextual PAI curriculum. Tawakkal is not only a spiritual principle, but also a strategic solution in forming a strong, adaptive, and responsible Muslim personality amidst the challenges of modern life.

Abstract

Joy (Al-Farh) in the Koran has various meanings, which can include temporary worldly joy or eternal spiritual joy. In the perspective of al-Munir's tafsir, the word farh is understood as a form of feeling happy or joyful which is often related to worldly or spiritual circumstances. Tafsir al-Munir presents an in-depth analysis of the difference between temporary and eternal joy, emphasizing that joy derived from worldly achievements, such as wealth, power, or pleasure, is often deceptive and leads to arrogance and negligence towards the afterlife. For example, the story of Qarun in Surah Al-Qasas (28) verse 76 illustrates how worldly joy can be misleading if accompanied by arrogance. On the contrary, this tafsir highlights the joy that comes from piety and obedience to Allah as true happiness that not only brings peace in worldly life, but also guarantees eternal happiness in the afterlife. In al-Munir's tafsir, true joy is measured by the depth of a person's faith and relationship with Allah, which leads to a nobler purpose in life. Therefore, this tafsir reminds Muslims not to be trapped in temporary worldly joy, but rather to pursue eternal joy through devotion to Allah. True joy is that which gives peace of mind and leads to eternal happiness in heaven, not temporary and misleading.

Abstract

The phenomenon of beauty privilege that prioritizes physical appearance as a standard of social acceptance has created gender inequality and psychological pressure, especially for Muslim women in the digital era. Popular culture and social media reinforce visual dominance that places physical beauty above spiritual and intellectual values. In this context, there is a need to review the meaning of beauty in Islam and how the values ​​of piety can be used as a counter-narrative to modern beauty ideology. This study aims to review the concept of privileged beauty from the perspective of the Qur'an using the maudhū'i interpretation approach and critical discourse analysis model of Norman Fairclough. The main data sources consist of verses of QS. Al-Hujurat: 13, QS. An-Nisa: 1, and QS. Ar-Rum: 21–22, accompanied by hadith and interpretations from classical scholars (Ath-Ṭabarī, Ibnu Kathīr) and contemporary (Quraish Shihab, Buya Hamka). This study also involves modern Islamic and sociological literature to understand the socio-cultural dynamics of beauty and identity of Muslim women. The results of the study indicate that piety in the Qur'an is a form of spiritual privilege that is superior to physical beauty. The concepts of qanitat and ḥāfiẓāt lil-ghayb underline the character of faithful women who maintain their honor, obey Allah, and are active in social life. Piety becomes a form of resistance to beauty capitalism and a tool for liberating women's identity from visual pressure. Qur'anic values ​​offer relevant educational and advocacy strategies in building an authentic and empowered Muslim identity in the digital era. This study contributes to the discourse of gender and Islam, by emphasizing that piety is the ultimate beauty privilege in the Islamic paradigm.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools are Islamic educational institutions that grow along with the development of Islam throughout the archipelago. A basic understanding of Islam and the Koran is the main goal. Islamic boarding schools are proliferating across the country in line with the changes, requiring Islamic boarding schools to modernize and update their curricula so that students leave with not only a religious but also a secular education. The institutional characteristics and definitions of Islamic boarding schools are discussed in this research. And this research is library research which aims to describe the development of Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia in terms of how Islamic boarding schools respond to traditions. The research results show that Islamic Boarding Schools in terms of how they respond to tradition are divided into three, namely Salafi, Khalafi, and Mujadi. Each Islamic boarding school has slightly different traditions. This difference is only in the emphasis on the tradition of studying classical books and the efforts of Islamic boarding schools in dealing with developments in science and technology.

Abstract

The Yellow Book Reading Acceleration Program at PP Al Akhyariyah Blega Bangkalan differs from similar programs in Indonesian Islamic boarding schools. This program requires students to fully read and understand the book over a structured timeline divided into three stages: 1) one year to master nahwu sorrof, 2) one year to study the book content, and 3) three years to fully comprehend the *Fathul Qorib* Yellow Book. Graduation each year is mandatory for students who meet the criteria. This study uses the CIPP evaluation model to assess the program. The results show: 1) Context evaluation indicates the program was developed with consideration of local regulations, including the Decree of the Roudlotul Al Akhyariyah As Syafi Foundation; 2) Input evaluation highlights that the curriculum, infrastructure, and supporting tools were appropriately designed by the boarding school; 3) Process evaluation confirms students were informed about memorization and comprehension targets at the start of the program; 4) Product evaluation finds that while the program has been implemented effectively, full success has not yet been achieved, as the quality of students’ reading and understanding of Fathul Qorib requires improvement, especially in accuracy of nahwu sorrof and grammar. The acceleration program is crucial for enhancing students’ personal and social quality, promoting Islamic syi’ar, and instilling moral values and character through habituation in reading the Yellow Book.

Abstract

دليل الاعتراف هي إحدى الأدلة الشرعية سواء في القانون المدني الإندونيسي أو في القانون الإسلامي، إلا أن مكانتها تختلف بين هذين القانونين. ففي القانون الإسلامي، تُعتبر دليل الاعتراف في المرتبة الأولى لأنها تُعتبر أكثر أدلة ذات فعالية وعدالة. لذلك، يبرز السؤال حول الكيفية والتأثير الذي سينجم إذا أمكن تطبيق مفهوم دليل الاعتراف في الإسلام ضمن مفهوم القانون المدني في إندونيسيا، مما يجعل القانون المدني في إندونيسيا أكثر كفاءة وعدالة وتوازنًا.
