Abstract

Sayyid Qutb’s tafsir, particularly Fi Zilal al-Qur’an, presents a framework of social ethics grounded in tawhid, positioning it as both a spiritual principle and a basis for confronting structural oppression. His analysis of the Qur’anic concepts of mala’ (elite classes) and mustad’afin (the oppressed) offers a critical entry point for understanding class struggle within Islamic thought. This study aims to contextualize Qutb’s discourse on mala’ and mustad’afin by engaging Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, with the goal of constructing a Qur’an-based model of counter-hegemony that responds to contemporary social inequality. Using a qualitative textual approach, the study analyzes key Makkiyah verses interpreted by Qutb through the al-adabi al-ijtima’i method. These interpretations are then integrated with Gramsci’s concepts of ideological control, organic intellectuals, and war of position to assess their relevance in modern social contexts. The findings show that Qutb’s tafsir aligns with Gramscian critical theory in viewing structural inequality as maintained through cultural and ideological mechanisms. The mustad’afin are positioned as morally empowered actors, capable of resisting hegemony through ethical leadership, ideological education, and faith-based collective action. This study affirms that the integration of Qutb’s tafsir with Gramscian analysis offers a socially engaged Qur’anic hermeneutic. It demonstrates the potential of Islamic thought to address systemic injustice through a praxis-oriented framework grounded in divine justice, ethical redistribution, and spiritual resistance.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of religious values as a form of social capital in supporting the resilience of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kediri City, Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with eight MSME owners who managed to maintain their businesses throughout the crisis. The findings reveal that religious experiences and beliefs foster resilience and adaptability by encouraging persistence, community engagement, and mutual support. MSME owners relied on religious communities not only for spiritual guidance but also as practical networks for business adaptation. This study highlights the importance of integrating religious values into the conceptualization of social capital, suggesting that faith-based networks provide both psychological and material resources for business survival in times of crisis. The research offers new insights for policymakers and practitioners aiming to enhance MSME resilience through community-based and religiously-informed approaches.

Abstract

Traditional religious-economic institutions face increasing pressure from modernization and globalization, yet their persistence continues to complicate classical secularization theories. Mawah, a centuries-old Islamic profit-sharing system in Aceh, provides an important case for examining how religion remains embedded in economic life. This study analyzes mawah as both a religious and economic institution through Durkheim's functionalist theory, focusing on its persistence, transformation, and contemporary relevance as an Islamic economic alternative. This study employed a qualitative case study design with ethnographic elements, conducted in Pidie Jaya and Aceh Besar districts. Data were collected through focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews, and direct observations, complemented by recent scholarly literature. Analysis combined inductive coding with Durkheim’s concepts of solidarity, ritual, and collective effervescence, alongside Islamic jurisprudential principles such as al-adah muhakkamah (custom as a source of law). This study found that mawah persists as a post-secular institution through selective adaptation. Agricultural practices demonstrate rationalization tendencies, often resembling contractual arrangements, yet still operate within Islamic ethical frameworks of justice, trust, and collective welfare. By contrast, livestock-based mawah retains strong ritual dimensions through communal prayers, shared meals, and religious mediation, exemplifying collective effervescence. Trust networks rooted in religious authority and community membership remain central, providing moral legitimacy that purely instrumental arrangements cannot offer. This study contributes to sociology of religion by showing that religious institutions adapt through differential secularization rather than uniform decline. For policymakers, mawah illustrates how culturally grounded Islamic economic institutions can strengthen local development strategies while preserving social solidarity and religious authenticity.
