Abstract

Cooperatives play an important role as economic institutions in improving community welfare through principles of mutual cooperation and member empowerment. In societies with strong local cultural values and a predominantly Muslim population, the integration of local cultural values and compliance with sharia principles in cooperative management can influence people’s decisions to become members. This study aims to analyze the effect of perceptions of the integration of Tastura cultural values and compliance with sharia principles in the profit-sharing system on the decision to become members of the Koperasi Merah Putih in Central Lombok. This research uses a quantitative approach with a total sampling technique involving 72 respondents who are cooperative members. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression after passing validity, reliability, and normality tests. The results show that perceptions of the integration of Tastura cultural values and compliance with sharia principles have a significant effect both partially and simultaneously on the decision to become cooperative members. These findings indicate that the integration of local cultural values and the consistent implementation of sharia principles can increase public trust in cooperatives and encourage membership participation. Therefore, strengthening local cultural values and maintaining consistency in implementing sharia principles in cooperative management are important strategies to enhance community participation in cooperatives.

Abstract

Majelis taklim (Islamic study groups) are informal Islamic study forums in Indonesia that play a crucial role in the religious education of the community, particularly women. Islamic education for women in majelis taklim focuses on learning and deepening religious knowledge through the study of the Quran, Hadith, fiqh, and morals. This aims to strengthen women's roles in Islam: as wives, mothers of their children, and members of society. The learning format includes lectures, discussions, and practical activities, organized regularly and scheduled by female religious teachers (ustadzah) to ensure the smooth running of majelis taklim activities. The benefits of majelis taklim activities for women include increasing religious literacy and social empowerment, with programs such as Islamic parenting courses being offered. This is the importance of Islamic education for women. However, challenges such as limited access and gender stereotypes persist. Modern developments involve online platforms and the integration of contemporary issues, such as gender equality in Islam, to expand women's participation.

Abstract

This study examines the issue of political dynasties in Indonesia. The background to this issue is concern over the significant rise in political dynasty practices, as evidenced by the increase in the number of regional election candidates from political elite families. Specifically, this study discusses: 1) How regulations in Indonesia govern the issue of political dynasties, 2) How political ethics assess the phenomenon of political dynasties, and 3) How sadd adz-dzari'ah assesses the phenomenon of political dynasties. This study uses qualitative methods with data collection techniques from books, journals, and previous studies. The main results show that political dynasties arise due to imperfect regulations and their implementation. From the perspective of Kantian political ethics, this practice is morally unjustifiable because it violates the three main principles of Kantian political ethics. Meanwhile, from the perspective of sadd adz-dzari'ah, appropriate efforts are needed from the government, because political dynasties can threaten the principles of democracy in Indonesia.

Abstract

The phenomenon of the proliferation of hate speech on social media constitutes an important background for this study. The low level of digital communication ethics, accompanied by the high intensity of hate speech in cyberspace, has encouraged the author to examine this phenomenon through a Qur’anic perspective. Ideally, communication between individuals and groups should reflect the values of respect, gentleness, and truth as taught in the Qur’an through the concepts of qaulan kariman, qaulan layyinan, qaulan ma‘rufan, and others. This article employs a conceptual thematic exegesis approach to analyse verses that prohibit hate speech and a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by examining literature from 2015–2024 within the framework of thematic-conceptual interpretation. The main findings indicate that the Qur’an not only condemns hate speech, but also offers practical guidance on ethical communication in society, including in the digital era. Therefore, the implementation of Qur’anic values serves as a moral and social solution in fostering a healthy, peaceful, and civilised space of interaction amidst the advancement of information technology.

Abstract

This article discusses the reconstruction of one of the fundamental concepts in ‘ulumul Qur’an, namely the theory of nasikh-mansukh, which has long been regarded by some classical scholars as definitive and unchanging. One of the figures undertaking this reconstruction is Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd. Nasr Hamid’s reconstruction of the concept of nasikh-mansukh is a response to the ongoing debate between groups that accept and those that reject the existence of nasikh-mansukh in the Qur’an. According to Nasr Hamid, one of the factors causing this debate is the interpretation of naskh as the abrogation or cancellation of a verse. For Nasr Hamid, such a meaning fails to reflect the universal nature of the Qur’an. The primary focus of the concept of naskh-mansukh, which also serves as a determining variable, as proposed by Nasr Hamid, lies in the aspect of context (siyaq). He argues that in determining which verses are naskh and which are mansukh, one should not rely on the chronological order of the verses’ revelation, but must instead consider the contextual analysis of the situation in which the verse was revealed. This is based on the assumption that every verse of the Qur’an was revealed within a socio-cultural context relevant to the needs of society at that time. Therefore, he interprets naskh not as abrogation or revocation, but rather as the replacement (ibdal) of one verse with another, which occurs due to changes in circumstances and conditions that cause the application of that verse to be temporarily suspended until it is reintroduced in accordance with the prevailing conditions.

Abstract

In this rapidly evolving modern era, the primary challenge in Islamic religious education is how to maintain the true values taught in Islam, especially among the younger generation exposed to the influence of globalization, social media, and secular lifestyles. This study aims to analyze the role of discipline in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at MTs NU Kraksaan in maintaining Islamic values amidst modern progress. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, collecting data through in-depth interviews with five Islamic education teachers and direct classroom observations. The results show that discipline in Islamic education not only includes adherence to formal classroom rules but also plays an important role in internalizing religious values in students' daily lives. Discipline is applied through reinforcing classroom rules and instilling religious values in students' routines. Despite challenges such as the influence of social media and limited facilities, consistent discipline implementation positively impacts the strengthening of students' character and morals. The conclusion of this study is that discipline in Islamic education at MTs NU Kraksaan functions as an effective tool to maintain and strengthen the values of Islamic truth among students. This research contributes to the theory of Islamic education by emphasizing the importance of discipline in shaping students' character. The implications of this study highlight the importance of enhancing the role of parents and supporting facilities in the implementation of discipline. Recommendations for future research include exploring the impact of technology on discipline in Islamic education and its application in various madrasahs.

Abstract

Increasing global social tensions, identity conflicts, and humanitarian crises highlight the urgency of reconstructing universal ethical values grounded in the Qur’an. However, existing studies tend to be normative and lack contextual integration with contemporary social realities. This study aims to analyze the construction of universal social values in the thematic interpretation of Sayyid Muhammad Husain Fadlullah and examine its relevance to modern social challenges. This research employs a qualitative library approach using thematic (maudhu‘i) interpretation and qualitative content analysis, supported by a hermeneutic framework. The primary source is Tafsir Min Wahy al-Qur’an, complemented by relevant academic literature. The findings reveal that Fadlullah constructs an integrated system of social ethics consisting of justice (al-‘adl), human dignity (karamat al-insan), social solidarity (al-takaful al-ijtima‘i), and diversity (al-ta‘addudiyyah). These values are interrelated and function as a dynamic, contextual, and transformative ethical framework. The study concludes that Fadlullah’s interpretation contributes significantly to developing a universal, inclusive, and applicable social ethics framework for plural and modern societies.

Abstract

Hadith is the second source of knowledge for Muslims after the Koran, the proof of a hadith needs to be explored so that it gives strength to the development of science because it really comes from the words, actions and taqrir of the Prophet Muhammad Saw.. In the context of education, especially evaluation, many hadiths are used as a basic source for developing evaluation. In the educational process, the way to find out how successful the learning objectives or participant competencies are is through evaluation. This research uses a literature review with a content analysis approach. Based on the findings of this research, several hadith histories were found which explain that the Prophet evaluated his friends in understanding religious teachings or in carrying out their duties, even the Prophet was also evaluated by Allah through the Angel Gabriel. The measurement system (measurement) used by the Prophet himself did not use a laboratory system, however the principles show that the measurement system is also found in the Hadith of the Prophet. Evaluation of education in Hadith pays attention to the quality of exams according to the religious level or level/class level. The domains of evaluation mentioned in the Hadith as the domains found in educational science today include: evaluation of the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains.

Abstract

This study addresses a critical gap in Islamic education by rethinking fiqh learning beyond its traditional normative-transmissive orientation toward a more meaningful and contextually grounded process. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research was conducted in a Grade 11 classroom at MA Raudlotut Tholibin Banjarnegara between January and February 2026. Data were generated through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings demonstrate a fundamental shift in fiqh learning from knowledge transmission to a process of experiential and socially mediated meaning construction. This transformation unfolds through a dynamic interplay of student engagement, pedagogical adaptation, and experiential learning practices, in which students actively negotiate meaning through interaction, reflection, and lived experience. Engagement extends beyond observable participation to include cognitive and reflective involvement, while adaptation emerges as an inherent dimension of the learning process rather than a transitional stage. Consequently, fiqh is no longer understood as a fixed body of normative knowledge but as a contextual and lived practice shaped by students’ everyday realities. The study offers a theoretical contribution by reconceptualizing fiqh learning as a process of socially mediated experiential meaning-making, thereby challenging dominant transmissive paradigms in Islamic education. Practically, it underscores the need for designing interactive and context-sensitive learning environments aligned with the characteristics of digital generation learners. Ultimately, this study positions fiqh learning as a transformative pedagogical space where knowledge is continuously constructed, negotiated, and lived.
