Abstract

Regional head election disputes require a constitutionally stable resolution mechanism. This study aims to analyze the shift in the Constitutional Court's authority following Decision Number 85/PUU-XX/2022 and its implications for legal certainty and separation of powers through a Siyasah Qadhaiyyah perspective. A normative juridical method was applied through analysis of legislation, court decisions, and Islamic constitutional law literature. The study finds that the decision permanently establishes the Court's authority over Pilkada disputes, yet produces jurisprudential inconsistency by reinterpreting constitutional norms without formal amendment, risking legal uncertainty and judicial overreach. In conclusion, from a Siyasah Qadhaiyyah perspective, this expansion deviates from the principles of justice, trustworthiness, and balance of power, necessitating a more consistent and accountable regulatory framework.

The modern era has brought significant changes to the world of education. Teachers are the forefront of changing social dynamics, as they are required to possess comprehensive competencies in facing modern developments and progressive social dynamics. This should be used as a study material in building positive perceptions of prospective professional teachers in facing the dynamics of modern society, especially prospective Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers. This study aims to describe and analyze the perceptions of prospective Islamic Religious Education (IRE) students in the UPI Science and Islamic Studies Study Program regarding the future careers of IRE teachers in the modern era. This type of research is quantitative descriptive with convenience sampling technique. Data collection was in the form of a Likert-scale questionnaire on IPAI students class of 2022-2023. This study used statistical tools in the form of average value, standard deviation, minimum value, and maximum value. The results of the study revealed that the perception of prospective Islamic Education teacher students in terms of the competency standards that teachers must have, namely: pedagogical competence, there are 68% of student perceptions of Very High, personality competence 69% in the same category, social competence 66%, professional competence 71% and one specific competency for Islamic Education teachers, namely religious competence, at 67%. Thus, this study recommends that the IPAI UPI Study Program can ensure the readiness of prospective Islamic Education teacher students to become competent and professional teachers.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the interpretation of Quranic embryology in Surah Al-Mu'minun, verses 12–14, according to Hamka in Tafsir al-Azhar and Wahbah Zuhaili in Tafsir al-Munir, and to identify similarities and differences in their interpretive methodologies. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research and a comparative interpretation method (tafsir muqaran). Primary data were obtained from the interpretation of Surah Al-Mu'minun, verses 12–14 in both tafsir books, while secondary data came from literature related to scientific interpretation, Quranic embryology, and contemporary interpretation methodology. Data collection was conducted through documentation and analyzed using content analysis. The results of this study indicate that Hamka and Wahbah Zuhaili both interpret the stages of human creation, from conception to conception, nufah, 'alaqah, mudghah, bone formation, wrapping with flesh, and the breathing of the soul, as evidence of God's power. However, Hamka emphasizes a narrative, reflective, and social approach by linking the verses to the development of science and human values. In contrast, Wahbah Zuhaili uses a systematic, linguistic, and theological approach with an emphasis on the aspects of monotheism and human resurrection. This study concludes that the differences in interpretation are influenced by the intellectual background and methodology of each exegete. This research contributes to the development of scientific and comparative interpretations in contemporary Qur'anic studies.

Abstract

This article aims to explore Ali Harb's thoughts on the concept of Naqd al-Nassh (Textual Criticism) in Qur'anic studies. As a contemporary Lebanese intellectual deeply influenced by the post-structuralist tradition, Ali Harb offers a new perspective that goes beyond classical methods of exegesis. Through a library study of relevant journals, this research outlines how Ali Harb deconstructs text authority and religious reason considered to be frozen. The research results show that Ali Harb's version of the critique of Qur'anic reason does not aim to undermine the sanctity of the text, but rather to dismantle the thought mechanisms (epistemology) of Muslims in understanding the text so that it remains productive and relevant to contemporary reality. Ali Harb encourages a shift from "dead" reading (qira'ah mayyitah) to "productive-critical" reading (qira'ah muntijah-naqdiyah). This article also reviews the strengths and weaknesses of Harb's thought and its relevance in the context of Islamic studies in Indonesia today.
