Abstract

This study aims to discuss the transformation of Tafsir bi al-ra’yi: its history, methodological boundaries, and the dynamics of scholarly debates. The research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive-analytical method. Tafsir bi al-ra’yi is an interpretative method of the Qur’an based on ijtihad, which emerged in the 3rd century Hijri, particularly during the Abbasid era, to address the demands of the times. This method must be carried out by knowledgeable interpreters adhering to the principles of tafsir to ensure alignment with the Qur’an, Sunnah, and ijma’ of the scholars. While it allows intellectual freedom, it remains constrained to avoid subjective desires. Scholars have differing views: some support it as a necessary form of ijtihad, while others reject it due to concerns about conflicting with definitive texts (nash qath’i). This study concludes that Tafsir bi al-ra’yi plays a significant role in enriching the understanding of the Qur’an but emphasizes that its application must balance methodological caution and respect for the authority of the Qur’anic text.

Abstract

Evaluation in the education sector plays a crucial role in measuring the success of the learning process. The position of evaluation is very strategic in the education system. Evaluation is an integral part of human life, especially in education, where assessments from tests taken by students serve as evaluation for educators. In Islamic education, evaluation is essential in assessing students' understanding of Islam and the educators' proficiency in teaching Islamic principles. The Qur'an inspires all fields of knowledge and teaching, including thematic interpretation, which explains evaluation. In tafsir tarbawi, evaluation is also a significant topic. This study aims to analyze the verses of the Qur'an related to educational evaluation through a thematic approach. By examining the thematic interpretation of relevant Qur'anic verses, this research seeks to identify the principles and types of educational evaluation according to Islamic teachings. The findings are expected to provide valuable guidance for educators in implementing effective and meaningful evaluations within the context of Islamic education. The approach used in this study involves an in-depth analysis of Qur'anic verses and a review of relevant literature. The research findings emphasize the importance of integrating religious values into the practice of educational evaluation to shape the character and morality of students in accordance with Islamic.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the Islamic perspective on the practice of human slavery through verses from the Qur'an. This is done because human slavery and human trafficking are still widespread today. The method used in this study is literature analysis with a historical and phenomenological approach. The focus of this research covers modern slavery in the form of human trafficking, which is considered a determining factor in the existence of slavery in modern times. This research is also supported by data and strengthened by previous studies. The study concludes that initially the Qur'an acknowledged and accepted slavery because it was a reality that had existed for a long time. Therefore, it was impossible to eliminate it instantly and revolutionary, but in subsequent stages it was gradually reduced. This began with liberation from the practice through psychological, theological, and economic approaches, followed by the stage of physical liberation. Finally, it calls for the abolition and prevention of slavery. The Qur'an prohibits the practice of slavery in any form. The sources used were verses from the Qur'an, Hadith, and books of Tafsir, as well as national and international laws and regulations related to the prohibition of human trafficking.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the transformation of Islamic education management through the Kampus Berdampak (Impactful Campus) policy launched by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology. The research employs a literature review approach, drawing primarily from scholarly journal articles published within the last five years. The findings indicate that this policy has driven significant changes in the organizational structure of Islamic higher education institutions, particularly through the establishment of community service units and the integration of service-learning activities into the curriculum via the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) framework. Additionally, there has been an improvement in students’ soft skills development, a digital transformation in program implementation, and a strengthening of institutional reputation in the public eye. However, challenges related to resources and program sustainability remain and require cross-sector collaboration to address. The study concludes that Kampus Berdampak functions not only as a tool for community service but also as a managerial strategy to enhance the social, academic, and institutional roles of Islamic higher education in the modern era.

Abstract

This article reveals the process of internalizing multicultural values in Islamic boarding school, with a focus on the Amanatul Ummah Pacet Islamic Boarding School in Pacet Mojokerto. In the pluralistic social context of Indonesia, Islamic boarding schools have a strategic role that not only transmits religious knowledge but also shapes the character of students to be tolerant, humanistic, and nationally oriented. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were obtained through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model. The results show that the internalization of multicultural values in pesantren is carried out through three main stages: (1) value transformation, (2) value transaction, and (3) value transinternalization. The first stage takes place through formal learning activities in the classroom, the second stage through social interaction in the pesantren dormitory environment, and the third stage through the example set by caregivers and teachers (uswah hasanah). The main values internalized include tolerance, honesty, equality, democracy, and nationalism. The internalization of Islamic-based multicultural values produces santri with moderate, open characters and a strong sense of social and national awareness. This study concludes that the Amanatul Ummah Islamic Boarding School is a model of Islamic education that successfully harmonizes Islamic, national, and humanitarian values through a continuous and contextual process of multicultural value internalization.

Abstract

Individuals who have a high level of religiosity tend to be calmer in living life because they are broader in looking at life's problems and more deeply in looking at life's goals. The high level of religiosity is related to a high level of emotional regulation because with high religiosity, individuals are more accepting of events in life so that their emotional regulation is also more organized. Objective: The purpose of this study was to group the results of various recent studies on religiosity and emotion regulation experienced by individuals broadly from elementary school to adulthood. Methods: The method used in this study is systematic literature research (SLR).  Results: On an initial search, researchers found 297 journals. After further review, there were 28 journals that met the criteria and were relevant to the research objectives. Conclusion: Religiosity is an individual's self-value as the basis for responsibility for his actions to himself, others, and God. In high religiosity, a high level of emotion regulation is also found. In addition, individuals who have high religiosity tend to have psychological well-being and are easier to seek psychological help if they encounter difficulties in life.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of marriage without a guardian among former Indonesian migrant workers (TKI) from Aikmel District, East Lombok, in their respective countries. The research method used was qualitative with a sociological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and documentation studies with 20 respondents. The research results show that the practice of marriage without a guardian has various typologies, ranging from women marrying themselves, using taklik guardians, guardians of local judges (KUA), to guardians with unclear status. The reasons behind these marriages vary, such as seeking protection, avoiding adultery, gaining peace of mind and offspring, and—in some cases—because of a desire to avenge disappointment and freedom of action. Analysis from the perspective of Maqasid Syariah concludes that some reasons for marriage without a guardian, such as protecting the soul, offspring, and honor (hifzh an-nafs, an-nasl, al-'irdl), are in line with the objectives of sharia. However, reasons based on revenge and the desire for absolute freedom without consideration of sharia are considered outside the maqasid of marriage in Islam, even though they may be considered valid from a fiqh perspective by some schools of thought.
