Abstract

Hadith scholars are encouraged to guard and preserve hadith from generation to generation because of its very important position and function in Islamic teachings. This guarding and preservation began during the time of the Companions and continues to this day. It was the Companions and senior tābi'īn who first spread to various regions and organized scientific circles (ḥalaqah) throughout the region to help spread hadith. This community is called “Hadith Madrasah” by contemporary hadith researchers. This article aims to discuss “Hadith Madrasah,” starting from the definition, urgency, and technical steps of its study, as a reference for researchers who are interested in conducting this study. This research is a type of qualitative research using historical methods. The approach used is descriptive-analytical with data collection techniques using library research. The results of this study indicate that the Hadith Madrasah is a "community of narrators and hadith experts with the same characteristics between one member and another, related to the media for conveying and maintaining hadith, both riwāyah and dirāyah, at a certain time and place. Anyone who wants to investigate the Hadith Madrasah must follow at least six technical steps.

Abstract

Al-Mutanabbi ranks as one of the most renowned poets in the history of Arabic literature, with his poems reflecting his complex personality and ambitions. This research aims to explore the main themes in Al-Mutanabbi's works, such as identity, self-pride, praise, social critique, and commentary on societal dynamics. By employing textual analysis and historical study methods, this research examines how Al-Mutanabbi used poetry to express his thoughts, construct his self-image, and deliver critiques of social conditions and patronage relationships during his time. The findings reveal that Al-Mutanabbi consistently projected a strong sense of confidence and pride in his works, portraying himself as a great poet. He built relationships with rulers through laudatory poems but also expressed bold criticism of opponents and the societal conditions of his era. His immense ambition is evident in his works, which often highlight the conflict between personal aspirations and the socio-political challenges of the Abbasid era. This study provides new insights into the relationship between a poet's life and the literary works he produces. It also emphasizes how poetry serves as a tool for constructing self-identity and responding to the dynamics of power in the classical era.

Abstract

The decline of morality in modern life shows the need for a reassessment of the noble values contained in the Qur'an, especially in the first and last revelations that brought great changes to the Jahili Arab society. This research aims to analyze the moral values contained in the process of the first and last revelation in the Qur'an. This research uses a qualitative method with a library research approach with the main sources being books, journals, and tafsir books. The results showed that the first revelation initiated moral change by emphasizing the importance of learning and spirituality, while the last revelation perfected the principles of justice and balance in social and legal systems. In conclusion, the moral values of these two revelations remain relevant as guidelines to face moral challenges in the modern era.

Abstract

The use of ‘Amm (general) and ‘Khas (specific) expressions in the texts of the Qur'an and Hadith, as well as the importance of interpretative principles in understanding Islamic law. The Qur'an was revealed as a guide for life, encouraging Muslims to use their intellect. However, the diversity of language styles and the Arabic language's nature as the language of revelation requires scholarly tools, including interpretative principles, to avoid errors in interpretation. The research methodology uses a qualitative approach based on library research, involving primary and secondary sources to analyze the differences in meaning between general expressions (‘Amm), which encompass multiple meanings without limitation, and specific expressions (‘Khas), which have particular meanings. The study results indicate that ‘Amm expressions can remain general, convey specific meanings, or undergo takhsis (restriction), while ‘Khas expressions are limited to a particular entity or attribute. This study provides in-depth insights into the significant influence of ‘Amm and ‘Khas expressions on understanding Sharia texts and establishing Islamic law.

Abstract

The role of women in society has undergone significant changes in the era of globalization. This article examines women's rights from Islamic and Western perspectives, highlighting the importance of freedom of speech, economic rights, and access to education as fundamental to achieving gender equality. Women's active participation in politics and the economy allows them to voice important issues and contribute to broader social change. The Islamic perspective emphasizes the obligation to seek knowledge for all individuals, regardless of gender, while the Western approach focuses on individual freedom and non-discrimination. Understanding these two perspectives helps us understand the relevance and challenges women face in fighting for their rights in the modern world. This research aims to provide a deeper understanding of women's position and encourage further discussion on gender equality across various fields.

Abstract

Painting of living creatures is a form of artistic expression that reflects the cultural views and values ​​of the society that created it. This journal aims to explore the differences in views between Islamic and Western traditions regarding the painting of living creatures, and the impact of these differences on the development of art. In the Islamic context, the depiction of living creatures is considered taboo based on the hadith that prohibits imitation of God's creation, so Islamic art places more emphasis on calligraphy, geometry, and non-figurative motifs. In contrast, Western painting, especially since the Renaissance era, shows freedom in depicting humans and nature with a realistic approach, as done by famous artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. This study aims to analyze the fundamental differences in worldview, theology, and aesthetics between the two artistic traditions. Using a cross-cultural comparative approach, this study fills a gap in the study of painting of living creatures that has not been widely discussed in the modern context. Data were obtained through a literature review that included artworks, historical documents, and analysis of religious texts and theories. This type of research is qualitative research with a comparative approach, which focuses on a comparative analysis between two different artistic traditions in the context of the representation of living creatures.

Abstract

Islamic universities have a strategic role in producing future leaders who are not only intellectually superior but also noble and innovative. This study aims to analyze PTI's efforts in integrating Islamic values and innovation through a literature review approach. The results show that moral education is the foundation for the formation of student character, while innovation is encouraged through the application of digital technology and project- based curriculum. Challenges such as global cultural influence and lack of synergy between theory and practice hinder the optimization of the program. The proposed solutions include strengthening the integration of Islamic values in the curriculum, the use of technology, and a campus environment that supports creativity. With this step, PTI is expected to produce moral and innovative leaders who are able to compete globally.

Abstract

This study discusses the Background of the Problem In fulfilling their needs, humans are governed by laws that have been determined by Allah SWT. Law in Islam is a rule relating to the relationship between individuals and other individuals, as well as individuals and their creator. Therefore, Allah SWT reminds us that in fulfilling their needs, humans do not harm each other, in this case exchanging needs between members of society is a fair way. The rules of Allah that are unified and codified in the fiqh of mu'amalah cover several aspects of economic activities, one of which is buying and selling (al-ba'i). Buying and selling or referred to as Bai' is the exchange of property for property on the basis of mutual consent, or transferring property with a justified exchange. According to Sulaiman al-Asyqar, buying and selling is the exchange of property for property, or benefits for benefits in the form of transferring ownership and ownership. The term down payment is also known as DP (Down of Payment), advance payment, or down payment. In Indonesia this is regulated in Article 1464 of the Civil Code. The payment of a down payment or down payment in a buying and selling transaction is known by fiqh scholars as ba'i 'urbun. Ba'i 'urbun is a down payment paid by the buyer which shows that he is serious about his order. If the buyer then agrees on the ordered goods, a sale and purchase transaction is formed and the down payment is part of the agreed price of the ordered goods (assets). If the buyer later refuses to purchase the order, then the down payment is forfeited and becomes the property of the seller.

Abstract

This study explores the development of philosophy and science in Ancient Greece through a historical approach, highlighting the contributions of philosophers such as Thales, Pythagoras, Plato, and Aristotle in shaping the foundations of rational thought and scientific methodology. The research identifies how Greek philosophy laid the groundwork for scientific traditions by integrating metaphysical speculation with empirical observation. Furthermore, it examines the interaction between philosophical thought and scientific inquiry in fields such as cosmology, mathematics, and biology, which significantly influenced the progress of modern science. Employing a library research method, this study analyzes classical sources and modern literature to reveal how Ancient Greek philosophy and science became a critical foundation for the intellectual evolution of human civilization. The findings demonstrate the relevance of Ancient Greek thought in the context of contemporary knowledge development, particularly in strengthening rational and interdisciplinary approaches across various disciplines.
