Abstract

Thoughts about Sharia in Islam have experienced a significant evolution from its early days to the current contemporary era. Abdullah Ahmed Naim, a leading thinker in contemporary Islamic studies, offers a provocative perspective through his deconstruction of Sharia. An-Naim argues that Sharia should be seen as a product of human history and culture, not a static divine law. With a deconstructive approach, An-Nuaim highlights the importance of contextualizing Islamic law, emphasizing that the interpretation of Sharia must be adapted to continuously developing social needs and realities. This view invites in-depth discussion about the relevance and application of Sharia in the modern world. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a library study approach, where data is collected through collection from various academic sources, including books, journal articles and An-Na'im's own works. The analysis was carried out by reducing data, presenting the data, and continuing with drawing conclusions. The results of this research are that it can be seen that this approach is not only relevant for legal reform but also has significant implications for Islamic studies and society's understanding of pluralism in the legal context. Through the deconstruction of sharia, there is hope to create an Islamic legal system that is more just, inclusive and responsive to the challenges of the times.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology, the Industrial Revolution 4.0, and ongoing social changes demand that education become more responsive and adaptive to contemporary challenges. In this context, the implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in madrasas is essential for developing students' practical skills that are relevant to workforce demands and global challenges. This study aims to analyze the implementation of CBC at MTs Plus Al-Azhar Wlingi Blitar, evaluate its impact on students' competency development, and identify the challenges faced in its implementation. The research employs a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews conducted with the principal, teachers, and administrative staff directly involved in the CBC implementation. Based on interviews with the principal, curriculum vice principal, and teachers, the findings indicate that although there have been successes in CBC implementation, significant challenges remain. These include mastering more varied teaching techniques, time and resource constraints in project-based learning, and a gap between the skills taught and the needs of the industrial world. Proposed solutions include enhancing professional training for teachers, optimizing project-based learning planning, improving technological infrastructure, and strengthening partnerships with the industrial sector through activities such as field studies.

Abstract

Observations in class X.9 revealed that 68% of students scored below the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM). This classroom action research aimed to improve students’ motivation and learning outcomes through the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach. The study was conducted in two cycles. The results indicated that the implementation of TaRL was effective in enhancing students’ academic achievement, with the average score increasing from 67.9 (pre-cycle) to 75.8 (cycle I) and 84.7 (cycle II). In addition, the percentage of students meeting the mastery criteria improved from 32% (pre-cycle) to 38% (cycle I) and 62% (cycle II). These findings suggest that the TaRL approach can improve students' understanding. However, TaRL may require more time when applied to students with low literacy skills. To address this limitation, teachers are encouraged to integrate TaRL with other instructional strategies, such as differentiated learning.

Abstract

This article examines presupposition in the story of Prophet Solomon and Queen Saba based on Surah An-Naml verses 20-44 with a qualitative approach and content analysis method. This research aims to identify the types of presupposition and analyze the communicative function and da'wah meaning contained in the verses. Based on George Yule's classification, six types of presupposition were found in 23 verses, namely: existential (26.09%), lexical (21.74%), active (17.39%), structural (17.39%), non-active (8.70%), and counterfactual (8.70%), Each type of presupposition plays a role in implicitly conveying da'wah messages, strengthening discourse structures, and framing ideological meanings that are unique to Qur'anic communication. This study shows that linguistic strategies in the Quran rely on explicit meaning and are full of implicit messages that can be revealed through a pragmatic approach. This finding is expected to enrich the treasures of linguistic interpretation and open up opportunities for the development of Islamic studies based on pragmatic analysis.

Abstract

Muhammad Abduh’s life was closely intertwined with modernization, yet his interpretations reveal gender biases that have not been addressed in previous research. Abduh’s views on the relationship between men and women in the household align with the structural-functional theory, which posits that role differentiation is linked to gender. Based on this problem, this paper examines the epistemological foundation employed by Muhammad Abduh in interpreting QS. An-Nisā’: 34, a verse often used to justify male superiority over women. This study employs a qualitative method with critical analysis using conflict theory, which, in the author’s view, is related to Marxist-Socialist feminist theory. The findings indicate that Muhammad Abduh utilized the burhani method and the adabi ijtima’i approach. Furthermore, to strengthen his arguments, Abduh employed linguistic analysis, munasabah ayat, the use of riwayat, and comparative analysis. From this interpretative flow, these two lines of thought lead to role inequality because everything is measured based on physical attributes or fitrah. QS. An-Nisā’: 34 should be understood based on two periods, namely the time of the Prophet and the modern era, so that a common thread can be drawn regarding the differences in social conditions between the two. Thus, an understanding based on gender in determining role differentiation cannot be maintained because role dominance is determined by the social conditions of society.

Abstract

This research shows that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by students of the Faculty of Islamic Studies (FAI) at UNINUS has become an integral part of their academic activities. AI is widely used, from helping students understand material and organize assignments to quickly answering various academic questions. On the one hand, the presence of AI offers many benefits in supporting the learning process, such as facilitating access to information and accelerating the achievement of academic results. However, on the other hand, a serious challenge has emerged, namely the tendency for students to rely on instant solutions without a deep reflective process
