Abstract

This study examines how Qur’anic teachings on mutual admonition are socially received and practiced within the plantation worker community of PT Sewangi Sejati Luhur, Sukaramai Village, Tapung Hulu District, Kampar Regency, using a Living Qur’an perspective. The research is grounded in the assumption that Qur’anic verses do not function solely as normative texts, but are also embodied in everyday social practices, values, and communal interactions. Focusing on Surah Al-Balad verse 17 and Surah Al-‘Asr verse 3, this study explores how the ethical principle of mutual admonition is interpreted, negotiated, and enacted in the socio-cultural life of the community. Employing qualitative field research with a descriptive-analytical approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that mutual admonition in this community is manifested not merely as verbal advice, but as a socially embedded religious practice expressed through collective worship, interpersonal moral reminders, and communal solidarity in addressing social and economic challenges. Its enactment is shaped by religious understanding, educational background, and socio-economic conditions, which together influence the forms and intensity of Qur’anic reception in daily life. This study contributes to Living Qur’an scholarship by demonstrating how Qur’anic ethical teachings are transformed into lived religious praxis within a plantation community, thereby extending the discussion of Qur’anic reception beyond textual interpretation toward embodied social practice.
CALAMITY, SIN, AND DIVINE TRIAL: A CRITICAL READING OF SAYYID QUTB’S FĪ ẒILĀL AL-QUR’ĀN Evi Damayanti; Jani Arni; Khotimah; Nurjanis

Abstract

This study examines Sayyid Qutb’s interpretation of calamity (muṣībah) in Fī Ẓilāl al-Qur’ān and analyzes its relationship to sinful human conduct in the Qur’anic worldview. Previous studies on calamity in the Qur’an have generally focused on theological explanations of suffering, divine testing, and predestination, while limited attention has been given to how modern exegetes, particularly Sayyid Qutb, conceptualize calamity within the moral relationship between divine justice and human wrongdoing. This research aims to explore Qutb’s understanding of calamity, identify the Qur’anic verses that shape his interpretation, and examine the ethical relevance of calamity to sinful acts. This study employs qualitative library research using historical, linguistic-semantic, and hermeneutic approaches to analyze Qutb’s exegetical thought in Fī Ẓilāl al-Qur’ān. The findings reveal that Sayyid Qutb understands calamity as a broad existential condition that encompasses both affliction and blessing, depending on human moral response and divine purpose. In his interpretation of Q. al-Shūrā [42]:30, calamity is explicitly linked to human wrongdoing, where suffering is understood as a consequence of moral deviation and a reminder toward repentance. In Q. al-Baqarah [2]:155–157, calamity is interpreted as divine testing aimed at spiritual purification and the cultivation of patience. Meanwhile, in Q. al-Taghābun [64]:11, Qutb emphasizes that all calamities occur by Allah’s permission and become meaningful through faith-based acceptance. Thus, Qutb’s thought demonstrates that calamity in the Qur’an cannot be reduced solely to punishment; rather, it functions as divine warning, moral consequence, spiritual trial, and existential education. This study contributes to Qur’anic studies by repositioning Qutb’s interpretation of calamity within the broader discourse on ethics, sin, and divine-human relations in modern Qur’anic exegesis.

Abstract

This study examines the translation of the Qur’an into Sasak through Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahnya Bahasa Sasak (2014), with particular attention to the selection of linguistic registers and their theological as well as communicative implications. Drawing on Talal Asad’s concept of sacred discourse and Janet Holmes’ sociolinguistic theory of register, the study investigates how translators negotiate the tension between preserving the sacred authority of the Qur’anic text and ensuring its accessibility for local readers. Employing a qualitative approach, five purposively selected verses—QS. al-Naml: 27, QS. al-Isrāʾ: 63, QS. al-Isrāʾ: 66, QS. al-Nisāʾ: 1, and QS. al-Ikhlāṣ: 1—were analyzed through semantic, pragmatic, and register-based examination. The findings reveal three distinct patterns of negotiation. First, sacred authority is partially compromised when linguistic constraints intersect with sociolinguistic realities, as reflected in the rendering of qul as gelis muni. Second, sacredness and accessibility are balanced when culturally appropriate honorific registers remain available, as illustrated by the use of bemaniq. Third, sacred authority is preserved without compromise when the doctrinal core of the text is involved, exemplified by the translation of Aḥad as Maha Esa. Based on these findings, the study proposes the Qur’anic Translation Negotiation Model, consisting of four interrelated components—Sacred Authority, Linguistic Constraint, Sociolinguistic Reality, and Communicative Goal—which operate dialectically in the translation process. The model offers a theoretically grounded framework for understanding vernacular Qur’anic translations and contributes to broader discussions on the relationship between language, religion, and translation beyond normative debates on the translatability of sacred texts.

Abstract

Modern education is facing an epistemological crisis due to the dominance of the positivist paradigm, which separates knowledge from spiritual values, while Islamic education is often confined to a normative-dogmatic approach that limits critical inquiry. Therefore, this study seeks to address a gap in understanding how the Qur’an philosophically and epistemologically constructs transformative knowledge beyond a merely semantic analysis of its verses. This study adopts a qualitative research approach based on library research, employing a descriptive-analytical method and a thematic exegetical approach. The analysis focuses on the structure of knowledge reconstruction in the Qur’an, from the reception of revelation to its actualization in social action. The findings reveal that the Qur’an constructs knowledge through a multi-layered cognitive framework comprising iqrāʾ (procedural literacy), tafakkur and tadabbur (reflection and internalization), and naẓar (critical-empirical observation). Furthermore, the Qur’an offers mechanisms for knowledge validation through tabayyun and takrār al-baṣar to minimize doubt (ẓann), while integrating the epistemological pillars of bayānī, burhānī, and ʿirfānī into the educational process. This epistemological framework not only contributes to overcoming the dichotomy between scientific knowledge and spiritual values but also plays a significant role in shaping the character of Ulū al-Albāb as individuals who embody a balanced integration of intellectual excellence and spiritual depth. Ultimately, the Qur’anic epistemological reconstruction proposed in this study provides a conceptual foundation for transforming Islamic education into a more integrative, reflective, and adaptive system capable of responding to the dynamics and challenges of contemporary society.

Abstract

Perasaan insecurity semakin banyak dialami oleh mahasiswa dan dapat berdampak negatif terhadap kepercayaan diri, kesejahteraan psikologis, serta perkembangan pribadi mereka. Meskipun kajian mengenai insecurity umumnya didasarkan pada perspektif psikologi kontemporer, integrasi antara konsep Islamic mindfulness dan ajaran Al-Qur’an masih relatif kurang mendapat perhatian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan Model Islamic Mindfulness berbasis tadabbur QS. al-Isrā’: 70 sebagai kerangka alternatif dalam mengelola insecurity pada mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian kualitatif berbasis studi kepustakaan dengan pendekatan tafsir komparatif, dan analisis konseptual. Data diperoleh dari kitab-kitab tafsir klasik dan kontemporer, buku-buku yang relevan, serta artikel ilmiah, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis isi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Model Islamic Mindfulness yang dirumuskan terdiri atas tiga dimensi yang saling berkaitan, yaitu: (1) kesadaran diri (self-awareness) yang berlandaskan muraqabah, (2) penerimaan diri (self-acceptance) yang berakar pada nilai riḍā dan tawakkal, serta (3) kesadaran akan martabat manusia (karāmah al-insān) sebagaimana ditegaskan dalam QS. al-Isrā’: 70. Ketiga dimensi tersebut berkontribusi dalam membangun konsep diri yang positif, memperkuat penghargaan diri, mengurangi kecenderungan perbandingan sosial yang berlebihan, serta meningkatkan resiliensi emosional dan spiritual mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa integrasi refleksi Qur’ani dan Islamic mindfulness menawarkan pendekatan yang holistik dalam mengatasi insecurity melalui perpaduan antara wawasan psikologis dan nilai-nilai Islam. Oleh karena itu, model ini dapat menjadi kerangka konseptual untuk mendukung kesejahteraan mental dan pengembangan diri mahasiswa dalam konteks pendidikan Islam.

Abstract

The contextualization of Qur’anic social values has become an important approach for addressing contemporary social challenges in diverse Muslim societies. This study examines how social Qur’anic values are interpreted and contextualized in Indonesia and Thailand, with particular attention to issues of tolerance, social justice, poverty, education, and interreligious relations. Employing qualitative library research and a comparative approach, the study analyzes scholarly discussions on social Qur’anic interpretation and its development within the socio-cultural and political contexts of both countries. The findings reveal that the contextualization of Qur’anic social values in Indonesia tends to emphasize pluralism, religious moderation, democratic coexistence, and national harmony, reflecting the position of Muslims as the majority within a multicultural society. In contrast, the contextualization of these values in Thailand, particularly among the Muslim community of Pattani, is primarily directed toward strengthening Islamic identity, communal solidarity, and peaceful coexistence within a minority-Muslim environment. These differences demonstrate that the interpretation of social Qur’anic values is closely shaped by local historical experiences, cultural traditions, social structures, and political realities. The study argues that social Qur’anic interpretation in Southeast Asia is dynamic and context-sensitive, serving not only as a religious discourse but also as an ethical framework for responding to contemporary social issues. By highlighting comparative experiences from Indonesia and Thailand, this research contributes to the development of contextual Qur’anic studies and enriches broader discussions on Islam, society, and social transformation in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

Oligarchic practices constitute one of the major challenges to social welfare and equitable economic distribution within a nation. From an Islamic perspective, the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a limited elite is inconsistent with the broader objectives of justice and public welfare. This study examines the Qur’anic stance on oligarchic practices through an analysis of QS. al-Ḥasyr: 7 using Abdul Mustaqim’s maqāṣidī interpretation framework. Employing a qualitative library research method, this study analyzes classical and contemporary Qur’anic commentaries and evaluates their interpretations through the lens of maqāṣidī exegesis. The findings demonstrate that QS. al-Ḥasyr: 7 promotes a fair distribution of wealth and explicitly rejects economic concentration among a privileged minority. From a maqāṣidī perspective, the verse reflects the objectives of ḥifẓ al-māl through the realization of economic justice and ḥifẓ al-daulah through the protection of public welfare and social stability. Therefore, oligarchic practices are incompatible with the Qur’anic vision of justice, as they undermine equitable wealth distribution and marginalize broader societal interests. This study concludes that the maqāṣidī interpretation of QS. al-Ḥasyr: 7 provides a normative foundation for criticizing oligarchic structures and promoting a more inclusive and welfare-oriented socio-economic order.

Abstract

Living Qur’an studies examine the Qur’an not merely as a normative text but as a living reality that interacts dynamically with social practices, cultural expressions, and religious traditions within Muslim communities. Although Living Qur’an scholarship in Indonesia has increasingly explored various local traditions, studies on Qur’anic reception in Wayang Osing performances in Banyuwangi remain limited. This study aims to analyze the forms and typologies of Qur’anic reception in Wayang Osing performances presented by Ki Ilham Laili Mursidi and to examine their significance within the religious and cultural life of the Osing community. Employing a qualitative method within the Living Qur’an framework, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and subsequently analyzed using thematic analysis grounded in Qur’anic reception theory. The findings reveal three major typologies of Qur’anic reception. Exegetical reception is reflected in the interpretation of Qur’anic messages through narrative structures, symbolic representations, and philosophical explanations articulated by the dalang, constituting a form of culturally embedded exegesis. Aesthetic reception appears in the recitation of Qur’anic verses, żikr, ṣalawāt, and syi’ir in the Osing language accompanied by traditional gamelan music. Functional reception is manifested in the use of Qur’anic verses within rituals of protection, spiritual healing, and ruwatan. These findings demonstrate that Wayang Osing functions as a dynamic medium through which Qur’anic meanings are localized, negotiated, and transmitted within a specific cultural setting. The study contributes to Living Qur’an scholarship by highlighting the interplay between sacred text, local culture, and communal religious practice in contemporary Indonesian Islam.

Abstract

This study examines the interpretation of Qur’anic family verses in Indonesia’s Marriage Guidance Program through a case study of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) Dumai Kota. The research is motivated by the increasing divorce rate in Indonesia, which indicates a gap between the normative teachings of Islam and their implementation in contemporary family life. Employing a qualitative field research approach, this study combines document analysis of the Marriage Guidance Module issued by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and contextual Qur’anic interpretation. The findings reveal that the module incorporates key Qur’anic family values, particularly sakinah, mawaddah, and raḥmah, as foundational principles for building harmonious families. However, the interpretive approach remains largely normative and textual, limiting participants’ ability to apply these values to practical marital challenges. Furthermore, the implementation of the program at KUA Dumai Kota predominantly relies on lecture-based methods with limited contextual adaptation to participants’ social realities. This study argues for a more integrative model that combines contextual Qur’anic interpretation with psychological and family counseling perspectives. Such an approach can enhance the relevance and effectiveness of marriage guidance programs in fostering resilient and harmonious Muslim families. The study contributes to the development of applied Qur’anic interpretation and Islamic family education in contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract

Despite extensive scholarship on the Deobandi and Barelvi movements in South Asia, limited attention has been devoted to the philosophical foundations and competing epistemological frameworks that shape their traditions of Qur’anic interpretation. This study examines the philosophical and epistemological dimensions of Qur’anic interpretation within the Deobandi and Barelvi traditions in Bangladesh, focusing on their sources of knowledge, interpretive methodologies, religious authority, and engagement with contemporary social realities. Employing qualitative library research and a comparative-analytical approach, the study analyzes major exegetical works, intellectual traditions, and scholarly discourses associated with both schools. The findings reveal that the Deobandi tradition is grounded in a textual-normative philosophical orientation and an epistemology that prioritizes the authority of hadith, Sunni-Hanafi orthodoxy, and methodological rigor in preserving doctrinal purity. In contrast, the Barelvi tradition develops a spiritual-cultural philosophical outlook and an epistemological framework that integrates scriptural interpretation with Sufi thought, devotional practices, and religious experience. These competing epistemologies produce distinct approaches to Qur’anic interpretation, Islamic education, religious authority, and Muslim responses to modernity and social transformation. The study concludes that the Deobandi and Barelvi traditions represent two enduring yet competing paradigms of knowledge production that continue to shape contemporary Islamic thought and religious identity in Bangladesh. By highlighting the interaction between scripture, philosophy, spirituality, authority, and socio-cultural change, this study contributes to broader discussions in Qur’anic Studies, Islamic epistemology, and the intellectual history of South Asian Islam.
