Abstract

This study analyzes the reconstruction of the concept of emotional boundary in Surah Maryam (19:41–47) ‎through the al-adab al-ijtimā‘ī interpretive approach and Murray Bowen Bowen Family Systems Theory ‎‎(BFST). It is motivated by the increasing phenomenon of family estrangement, emotional cutoff, and no-‎contact practices in modern families caused by value conflicts and emotional distress. The study aims to ‎examine the construction of emotional boundary in Surah Maryam (19:41–47), reconstruct the Qur’anic ‎concept of relational boundaries, and relate it to BFST within contemporary family dynamics. This ‎research is a library study using tafsir ijtimā‘ī and contextual approaches. Primary data are drawn from ‎Tafsir Al-Mishbah by M. Quraish Shihab, supported by classical commentaries such as Jami' al-Bayan, Al-‎Jami' li Ahkam al-Qur'an, and Tafsir Ibn Kathir. The analysis involves textual examination of verses, ‎comparative exegesis, identification of relational values, and conceptual dialogue with BFST. The findings ‎show that Surah Maryam (19:41–47) constructs emotional boundary through empathetic communication, ‎emotional regulation, and firm faith commitment. Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) maintains respect ‎while establishing boundaries when faith is threatened. The study formulates Peaceful No Contact as an ‎ethical and spiritual model of Qur’anic family relations

Abstract

This study examines gender ambivalence in Hamka’s interpretation of gender-related Qur’anic verses in Tafsir al-Azhar. While previous studies have generally portrayed Hamka either as a modernist reformer or as an exegete who reproduces patriarchal views, little attention has been paid to the ambivalent character of his interpretations of gender relations and the socio-epistemological factors shaping them. Addressing this gap, the study aims to analyze how Islamic modernist ideals and patriarchal traditions coexist within Hamka’s interpretation of gender-related Qur’anic verses. Employing discourse analysis and Karl Mannheim’s sociology of knowledge, the study investigates Hamka’s interpretations of Q. al-Baqarah [2]: 222–223 and 282, as well as Q. al-Nisā’ [4]: 1 and 34. The findings reveal a pattern of gender ambivalence in which egalitarian and patriarchal tendencies operate simultaneously. In some interpretations, Hamka reinforces male authority and women’s subordinate positions, while in others he emphasizes reciprocity and mutual responsibility, and critiques patriarchal practices. This ambivalence emerges from the interaction of three factors: a predominantly textual-reflective interpretive approach that seeks limited contextualization, a stronger concern with the maqāṣid of the verses than with theorizing gender relations, and the influence of Hamka’s socio-historical background, particularly the encounter between Islamic modernism and Minangkabau cultural traditions. By conceptualizing gender ambivalence as an analytical framework for examining tensions between egalitarian and patriarchal tendencies in Qur’anic interpretation, this study contributes to the field of Qur’anic gender studies. It demonstrates how socio-historical contexts shape the production of exegetical discourse.

Abstract

This article examines the tension between the normative ideals of wasathiyyah (moderation) ‎articulated in the hadith tradition and their historical implementation in early Islam. While ‎previous studies have primarily focused on the theological and ethical dimensions of Islamic ‎moderation, limited attention has been given to the relationship between normative hadith ‎teachings and the political realities that emerged after the Prophet Muhammad’s death. ‎Employing a thematic hadith analysis combined with a historical-critical approach, this study ‎analyzes selected hadiths on moderation, balance, anti-extremism (ghuluw), and the ‎fulfillment of rights, alongside historical sources concerning the Medina Charter and early ‎Islamic political developments. The findings demonstrate that the hadith tradition ‎consistently promotes moderation as an ethical framework grounded in justice, balance, and ‎proportionality. These principles were institutionally embodied in the Prophet’s leadership, ‎particularly through the Medina Charter, which provided a model for managing religious ‎and social diversity. However, the study finds that post-Prophetic political conflicts, ‎succession disputes, and sectarian contestations complicated the realization of these ideals, ‎transforming wasathiyyah from a lived political ethic into a contested moral aspiration. ‎Theoretically, this study argues that wasathiyyah should be understood not merely as a ‎theological doctrine but as a dynamic ethical framework whose implementation is shaped by ‎historical and political contexts. By integrating normative hadith analysis with historical ‎inquiry, the article contributes to contemporary scholarship on Islamic moderation, ‎pluralism, and the relationship between religious ideals and political practice.‎

Abstract

Usamah Al-Azhari's claim that the Hadith scholars follow the Ash'ariyah and Maturidiyah ‎creeds in the book Aqidah Al-Muhadditsin Wa Washilatuhum Bi Al-Tashawwuf has sparked ‎academic controversy because it ignores significant chronological and methodological gaps. ‎This study aims to test the validity of this claim by critically analyzing the theological ‎independence of the Hadith scholars. Using a qualitative approach that integrates ‎Krippendorff's content analysis and historical theology, this study evaluates the text of ‎Usamah's claim. It compares it with classical documents from the Hadith scholars, the ‎Ash'ariyah, and the Maturidiyah traditions. The research findings indicate that the Hadith ‎scholars possess an epistemological independence that cannot be reduced to the Ash'ariyah ‎or Maturidiyah framework. The chronological gap-where the Ash'ariyah and Maturidiyah ‎emerged in the 3rd century AH, long after the initial generation of Hadith scholars-proves a ‎historical anachronism in Usamah's mapping. Furthermore, despite both using the tafwidh ‎method, the Hadith scholars apply it with a textual-traditionalist approach that is ‎fundamentally different from the rationalistic Ash'ariyah ta'wil method and the rationalist-‎systematic Maturidiyah approach. The internal dialectics within the Hadith scholars' ‎tradition-such as Al-Ghazali's critique of textual codification and Ibn Khuzaymah's ta'wil ‎practices-further strengthen their methodological autonomy. This research contributes to ‎the reconstruction of Sunni theological historiography by affirming the position of the ‎Hadith scholars as an independent tradition, not merely followers of a posteriori theological ‎school.‎

Abstract

Studies on Q.S. al-Nisā’ [4]:34 often conclude that classical Qur’anic exegesis reinforces patriarchal ‎authority by positioning men as superior to women in family leadership. However, this view tends to ‎overlook the diversity of interpretations within the classical tafsir tradition. This article re-examines ‎classical interpretations of the phrase al-rijālu qawwāmūna ‘alā al-nisā’ by identifying progressive ‎perspectives that have received limited scholarly attention. Using qualitative library research and a ‎comparative hermeneutic approach, the study analyzes major classical tafsir works from the fourth to ‎eighth centuries Hijri, including those of al-Ṭabarī, al-Māwardī, al-Rāzī, and Abū Ḥayyān. The findings ‎show that classical tafsir is not a monolithic patriarchal tradition. Rather, it contains diverse ‎understandings of qiwāmah that can be grouped into three progressive models. First, the mas’ūliyyah ‎model emphasizes responsibility and care, portraying the husband as a guardian responsible for family ‎welfare. Second, the niẓām model understands qiwāmah as a functional organizational arrangement rather ‎than a sign of male superiority. Third, the qudrah model links qiwāmah to the capacity to provide ‎protection and effective leadership, allowing role flexibility based on competence rather than biological ‎sex. These interpretations indicate that egalitarian and non-hierarchical views of family relations were ‎already present within parts of the classical exegetical tradition. This study challenges the assumption that ‎classical tafsir uniformly legitimizes patriarchy and highlights the plurality of classical Islamic thought. It ‎also demonstrates the relevance of classical interpretations for developing contextual and gender-sensitive ‎readings of the Qur’an in contemporary Muslim societies.‎

Abstract

In the modern era, moral crises and character degradation require strengthening the spiritual ‎dimension of Islamic education. One Qur’anic concept relevant to addressing this challenge ‎is qalbun salīm (a sound heart). This study aims to analyse the concept of qalbun salīm through ‎a comparative examination of the interpretations of Muhammad Mutawalli al-Sya‘rawi in ‎Tafsir al-Sya‘rawi and Mahmud al-Alusi in Tafsir Ruh al-Ma‘ani, as well as its implications for ‎Islamic character formation. This study is a qualitative, literature-based research (library ‎research). The primary data sources are Tafsir al-Sya‘rawi and Tafsir Ruh al-Ma‘ani, whilst the ‎data is analysed using comparative and content analysis methods. The results of the study ‎indicate that both exegetes interpret qalbun salīm as a heart free from shirk, hypocrisy, and ‎various diseases of the heart. The difference lies in the fact that al-Sya‘rawi places greater ‎emphasis on the aspects of human nature, faith, and social relevance in character formation, ‎whilst al-Alusi highlights the spiritual dimension, tazkiyatun nafs, and the purification of the ‎heart from various inner ailments. These findings indicate that qalbun salīm is a crucial ‎foundation in the formation of Islamic character through the strengthening of faith, the ‎control of desires, and the cultivation of righteous deeds. The integration of these two ‎perspectives yields a more comprehensive approach to the development of Islamic character ‎education that balances the aspects of faith, morality, and spirituality.‎

Abstract

Studies on interfaith marriage in Muslim societies have generally focused either on Islamic ‎legal doctrine or on state regulation, while relatively little attention has been paid to how ‎Qur’anic interpretation is institutionalized within diverse socio-legal contexts. This article ‎examines the interpretation of al-Māʾidah (5):5 and its legal implications in Southeast Asia, ‎particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, and Singapore. Employing a ‎qualitative library-based method, the study combines Qur’anic exegesis, maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, ‎and comparative family law analysis to investigate the interaction between scriptural ‎interpretation and legal regulation. The findings demonstrate that although classical exegetes ‎generally recognized the permissibility of marriage between Muslim men and women from ‎among the Ahl al-Kitāb, contemporary legal responses vary considerably across Southeast ‎Asia. These variations are shaped not only by exegetical reasoning but also by differences in ‎Muslim demographics, state-religion relations, legal pluralism, and national regulatory ‎frameworks. The study further proposes a transcendental-emancipatory reconciliatory ‎framework that integrates textual fidelity, maqāṣid-oriented reasoning, socio-legal pluralism, ‎and contextual interpretation to explain the coexistence of divergent legal approaches while ‎preserving the normative objectives of Islamic law. The article contributes to the growing ‎scholarship on Qur’anic interpretation and Islamic family law by demonstrating that the ‎contemporary meaning and application of al-Māʾidah (5):5 are significantly influenced by the ‎political, legal, and social realities of Southeast Asian Muslim societies.‎

Abstract

The proliferation of fabricated hadiths (maudhu‘) throughout Islamic history, driven by political, sectarian, ‎and ideological motivations, necessitated rigorous methodological frameworks for hadith verification. Ibn ‎al-Jawzī (d. 597 AH) developed one of the most influential yet contested approaches to identifying ‎fabricated narrations through his seminal work al-Maudhu‘āt. While existing studies have examined hadith ‎classification and general principles of hadith criticism, no comprehensive comparative analysis has ‎systematically evaluated the epistemological foundations and methodological distinctions among Ibn al-‎Jawzī, al-Suyūṭī, and Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī within an integrated sanad-matn framework, nor explored their ‎relevance to contemporary digital-era disinformation challenges. This study aims to analyze Ibn al-Jawzī's ‎sanad-criticism methodology for detecting fabricated hadiths in al-Maudhu‘āt, compare it with the ‎methodologies of al-Suyūṭī and Ibn Ḥajar, and evaluate the relevance of these classical approaches to ‎religious information verification in the digital age. This research employs a qualitative approach ‎combining intellectual history analysis, content analysis, and comparative methodology, with al-Maudhu‘āt ‎as the primary data source, supplemented by al-La‘ālī al-Maṣnū‘ah and Lisān al-Mīzān as secondary ‎sources. The findings reveal three epistemologically distinct methodological poles: Ibn al-Jawzī’s ‎eliminative-preventive approach, which prioritizes a single defective transmitter as sufficient grounds for ‎maudhu‘ judgment; al-Suyūṭī’s inclusive-moderate approach, which demands comprehensive cross-chain ‎verification before issuing verdicts; and Ibn Ḥajar’s systematic historico-critical approach, which cross-‎references biographical data and evaluates comment consistency across sources. These three ‎methodologies constitute a layered verification framework applicable to contemporary hadith ‎authentication challenges, particularly for detecting religiously fabricated content on social media and for ‎developing AI-based hadith verification algorithms. This study offers a reconstructed epistemological ‎model of classical hadith verification that bridges pre-modern scholarship and digital-era information ‎literacy, providing methodological foundations for AI-assisted systems for Islamic information ‎authentication.‎

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the forms of hadith dissemination through digital media, particularly websites, and to classify the types of websites that serve as a means of hadith study. This study is motivated by the lack of research that explicitly discusses the role of websites as a medium for the transmission and study of hadith in the digital age, even though previous studies have discussed software such as Lidwa, Maktabah Syamilah, and Gawāmi' al-Kalim. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature study, with hermeneutics as a method to understand methodological transformations in hadith studies, as well as triangulation of sources by involving hadith experts and Islamic information technology practitioners to ensure cross-disciplinary validity. The human-in-the-loop principle is applied to integrate Islamic scientific values into the hadith digitization system. The results show that the dissemination of hadith through websites not only expands access to hadith literature but also raises new challenges in terms of the authority and authenticity of information. Websites are classified into several types, including: (1) hadith aggregator websites with search and sanad filter features, (2) hadith-based digital education platforms, and (3) AI-based hadith verification sites that function assistively. Thus, these findings confirm an epistemological renewal in the form of placing AI as a limited tool, not a substitute for human judgment.

Abstract

Humans are faced with multidimensional challenges that include moral and ecological crises, rapid social change, social injustice, rapid technological change and globalization Spiritual challenges in the contemporary era include materialism, consumerism, secularism, technological advancement, pluralism, intolerance, division of Muslim groups related to deviations from Islamic teachings. This often affects a person's spiritual values and religious beliefs. Therefore, this research is important and aims to describe the Intersection of Tafsir Q.S Al-Waqi'ah 71-74: Religious Discourse in the Spiritual Paradigm. This type of research is a literature review with a synergistic approach to three forms of spiritualism paradigms: behavior-based spiritualism, nature-based spiritualism, and religion-based spiritualism. The method used is the maudhu'i method. The primary source of data is the Qur'an. Secondary data sources are tafsir books and several scientific writings relevant to the problem being studied. This research yields a finding that by utilizing the three forms of spiritualism paradigm in synergy —namely, behavior-based spiritualism, nature-based spiritualism, and religion-based spiritualism —it can be understood that the intersection between Q.S. Al-Waqi'ah 71-74 offers a deep insight into the meaning of fire as a symbol of life. Fire is not only a physical need, but also has a spiritual dimension that can lead humans to live a meaningful life, understand the existence of their roles and responsibilities as human beings and the relationship between Allah, fellow humans and nature so as to achieve spiritual happiness by always praying to Him.
