Abstract

Hadith contextualization requires a method that preserves textual authority while accounting for the historical, cultural, and social conditions relevant to interpretation. Existing studies have examined contextual criticism, anthropological approaches, and living hadith, but these components are not always organized into an explicit analytical sequence with clearly differentiated evidentiary functions. This article formulates the Text–Culture–Living Hadith model as an anthropologically informed framework for hadith contextualization. It employs qualitative library research, content analysis, and conceptual synthesis of hadith sources, methodological scholarship, anthropological studies of Muslim practice, and living hadith research. The framework comprises seven stages: textual identification, attributed evaluation of hadith status, examination of asbab al-wurud and related reports, sociohistorical and cultural analysis, analysis of normative purpose and cultural form, examination of documented reception, and contemporary contextualization. Its application to the report “Whoever has hair should honor it” identifies the source as Sunan Abi Dawud, hadith 4163, and distinguishes it from the related report concerning disheveled hair in hadith 4062. The analysis shows that textual evidence, historical inference, social reception, and contemporary interpretation must be treated as related but non-equivalent forms of evidence. The model contributes a transparent procedural framework for connecting hadith criticism with cultural and reception analysis. It remains a conceptual proposal whose empirical usefulness requires testing through clearly defined textual corpora and field-based studies of Muslim reception.

Abstract

Little is known about how scientifically contested psychological approaches are incorporated into Hindu theological education. This study examines the institutional rationale for integrating Hypno-Neuro-Linguistic Programming (Hypno-NLP) into the Level 1 Hindu Theology Course at Pinandita Sanggraha Nusantara, Bali Regional Coordinating Unit (PSN Korwil Bali), its instructional and cultural adaptation, and stakeholders’ perceptions of its implications for religious authority, communication, and the internalization of Hindu values. A qualitative single-case study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with eight informants: one institutional leader, one instructor, four participants serving as Pamangku (Balinese Hindu ritual officiants), and two recipients of their religious services. The data also included four audiovisual course recordings totaling approximately seven hours and forty minutes and relevant institutional documents. The materials were analyzed thematically by comparing institutional, instructional, participant, community, observational, and documentary sources. The institution introduced Hypno-NLP to complement theological and ritual instruction with communication-oriented material. The course combined conceptual explanation, pre-talk, demonstrations, exercises, discussion, and reflection, adapted through Indonesian and Balinese, respectful forms of address, and examples from Hindu ritual contexts. Participants perceived selected elements as relevant to calmness, confidence, communicative flexibility, and interaction with devotees, while two service recipients positively described preliminary dialogue, ritual explanation, and religious advice. Religious communication was the most consistently perceived area of relevance; evidence concerning religious authority and value internalization remained limited and subjective. The findings do not establish causal, clinical, spiritual, or community-wide effects. They support a cautious distinction between generally applicable communication practices and contested claims concerning NLP, anchoring, and subconscious programming.

Abstract

Modernization and digitally mediated communication have changed the settings in which inherited religious ethics are interpreted and practiced. Existing studies of Confucianism in Indonesia have largely emphasized doctrinal and historical questions, leaving the everyday ethical interpretations of young adherents less examined. This study explores how three Generation Z Confucian adherents in the Jalan Gunung Krakatau community of Medan understand and apply Confucian values in family, community, and digital interactions, as well as how they perceive the challenges of modernization. The study used an exploratory qualitative descriptive design. Participants were selected purposively, and data were collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews conducted on May 8, 2026, with contextual field notes used to document the interview setting. The data were coded and organized thematically. The participants understood Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi, Xin, and Xiao as an interconnected moral framework rather than as abstract doctrine. Filial respect, compassion, practical assistance, tolerance, appropriate communication, considered judgment, and trustworthiness emerged as the main expressions of social ethics in their accounts. Modernization was not described as eliminating these values; it created tensions between personal aspirations and relational duties, traditional propriety and informal communication, and technological opportunity and ethical responsibility. Within this bounded setting, the continuity of Confucian ethics rested on reinterpretation and everyday application rather than unchanged repetition. These findings provide a context-specific account and are not intended to represent Confucian Generation Z more broadly.

Abstract

Religious tourism governance becomes complex when ritual authority, heritage administration, tourism planning, devotional recognition, and local livelihoods overlap. Existing studies emphasize collaboration and service improvement but provide limited explanations of how formal coordination can be introduced at sites where genealogical custodianship constitutes part of the governance structure. This study examines how sacred authority, genealogical custodianship, and cultural-heritage governance shape the management of the Amangkurat I Tomb; identifies the associated power relations and institutional problems; and formulates a context-sensitive institutional initiation strategy. A qualitative case study was conducted in January 2026 with 21 purposively selected informants comprising a key custodian, repeat pilgrims, nearby residents, local traders, and government officials. Data from interviews, non-participant observation, and documentary sources were examined through coding, triangulation, and interpretive comparison. The findings show that the authority of the abdi dalem derives from genealogical succession, reported court appointment, ritual service, and recognition by pilgrims. This authority coexists with cultural-heritage regulation, tourism planning, community interests, and local livelihoods, but these domains are not connected through a documented cross-actor mechanism. The resulting problems include concentrated custodial workloads, incomplete visitor records, pressure on facilities during peak periods, contested historical narratives, limited community consultation, and concerns about the position of local traders. The study formulates a six-stage institutional initiation strategy beginning with authority mapping and a limited coordination forum before administrative, legal, promotional, or physical development. This strategy is an analytical proposal rather than an implemented model. The study contributes a layered-authority perspective in which institutional development connects, rather than replaces, genealogical and ritual custodianship.

Abstract

Research on educational digitalization has frequently emphasized access, infrastructure, teacher readiness, and platform implementation, while paying less attention to changes in students’ learning dispositions within religious educational institutions. This study examines how digital technology mediates students’ learning habitus at MTsN 5 Pidie, a state Islamic junior secondary school in Aceh, Indonesia. It used a qualitative case study design involving five stakeholder groups: madrasah leaders, teachers, students participating in digital classes, students not yet participating in the program, and ICT staff. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis and interpreted using Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus, capital, and field. Digital tools expanded students’ access to materials and introduced new routines of information seeking, online assignment completion, and platform-based communication. These routines did not replace teacher guidance, handwritten note-taking, discipline, religious values, or adab. Instead, digital practices remained subject to teacher supervision, institutional rules, technical support, and moral expectations. Students also differed in device familiarity, platform access, account management, connectivity, and the assistance required to participate. The study interprets this pattern as a hybrid and regulated learning habitus. This case-based interpretation explains digitalization as a socially mediated institutional process rather than a straightforward transition from conventional to autonomous digital learning.

Abstract

Polygyny remains a contested religious and social practice in Indonesia, but research has rarely examined how a wife’s natal family participates in legitimizing a subsequent marriage. This article examines how a later-married wife and her natal family constructed “nobility” as a counter-narrative to stigma and how the charismatic authority of a kiai (Muslim religious leader) mediated their reception of Qur’an 4:3. The analysis draws on an interpretive qualitative single-case study conducted from January through early July 2026 in an anonymized Islamic study-circle community in West Java. Data were collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews with the wife, three members of her natal family, and three external informants. The material was coded manually and iteratively, then interpreted through the Living Qur’an perspective and Berger and Luckmann’s social constructionist framework of externalization, objectivation, and internalization. The findings show that “nobility” was externalized through material provision, redistribution, giving practices, and domestic hierarchy; objectivated through repeated narratives about religious knowledge, household provision, and social influence; and internalized through marital reasoning, forms of address, spatial conduct, and deference to religious authority. The family’s reception of Qur’an 4:3 was mediated primarily through accounts of the kiai’s biography rather than an observed formal exegesis of the verse. External informants questioned his marital conduct, the meaning of consent, and whether material prosperity constituted blessing. The case therefore shows that the natal family actively participated in producing marital legitimacy, although this construction remained contextual and contested rather than theologically conclusive or uniformly accepted.

Abstract

Religious education can create moral expectations toward individuals associated with Islamic educational institutions, but educational identity does not necessarily determine how their conduct is evaluated in community life. This study examines how five selected informants in Jogowono perceived the akhlak (Islamic moral character) of santri and non-santri, identifies the factors informing those perceptions, and analyzes their social construction using Berger and Luckmann’s framework. The study employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected from two community leaders, one kiai, one santri, and one non-santri through semi-structured interviews, moderate participant observation, and document analysis. The data were coded thematically and interpreted through the processes of externalization, objectivation, and internalization. The findings show that santri identity generated higher initial moral expectations because it was associated with more intensive religious education. However, the informants accorded moral recognition primarily on the basis of observable conduct, including respectful communication, responsibility, cooperation, social concern, and participation in religious and community activities. Their evaluations were informed by religious education, family environment, social environment, and lived social interaction. Externalization occurred through participation in communal practices, objectivation through the formation of shared expectations surrounding santri identity, and internalization through individuals’ acceptance or negotiation of those expectations. The study provides a context-specific distinction between moral expectations attached to religious educational identity and social recognition earned through everyday conduct. Its findings represent the perspectives of the five informants and do not establish that either educational background produces superior moral character.

Abstract

Guidance for children in conflict with the law must address institutional accountability while recognizing their psychological, educational, and spiritual needs. Previous studies have examined legal protection, counseling, education, and religious programs in juvenile correctional institutions but provide limited explanation of how person-centered relationships and Islamic spiritual practices are combined in everyday guidance. This qualitative single-case study examined the implementation of humanistic-religious guidance at Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak Kelas I Kutoarjo (LPKA Kutoarjo), an Indonesian juvenile correctional institution. It also examined participant-reported changes in spiritual awareness and the conditions supporting or constraining the approach. Data were obtained from five purposively selected participants—three staff members and two participating children—through semi-structured interviews, 15–20 hours of nonparticipant observation over five consecutive days, and institutional document analysis. The analysis identified seven interconnected elements: unconditional acceptance, empathy, congruence, muhasabah (self-reflection), taubat nasuha (sincere repentance), muraqabah (awareness of being observed by God), and ihsan (worship and moral conduct grounded in awareness of God). These elements were expressed across staff–child interactions, reflective activities, religious routines, equivalency education, and digital-library use. The two participating children described emotional-regulation efforts, regular worship, Quranic learning, and participation in scheduled religious activities. Interview accounts identified staff competence, institutional cooperation, and educational facilities as supporting conditions, and varied backgrounds, limited placement periods, reading difficulties, shame, withdrawal, and despair as constraints.

Abstract

The transition from a structured pesantren environment to university life requires students to manage their religious commitments under less direct institutional regulation. Previous research has often treated ritual regularity, spirituality, and value internalization as interchangeable, leaving insufficient explanation of how pesantren alumni interpret continuity and change in their religious lives. This study examines reported changes in spiritual and religious experience, the continuation and reinterpretation of Islamic educational values, and the internal and external conditions associated with these processes. A qualitative descriptive design was employed with seven sixth-semester students in an Islamic Religious Education program who had attended a pesantren for at least three years. Data were collected through one semi-structured interview lasting 20–40 minutes with each participant and analyzed using data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings show varied rather than uniform trajectories. Five participants reported reduced consistency in one or more practices, including punctual prayer, tahajjud, Qur’anic recitation, memorization, and muraja’ah. These adjustments did not necessarily coincide with the abandonment of Islamic values. Participants described continuing to apply sincerity, discipline, responsibility, moral conduct, consistency, independence, and self-control in academic and social life. Some also reported more reflective interpretations of religious teachings, while others maintained earlier understandings. Personal awareness, self-regulation, peers, family support, campus culture, living arrangements, and academic demands shaped these reported experiences. By distinguishing ritual consistency, value continuity, and reflective religious meaning, the study offers a contextually bounded account of how pesantren alumni negotiate religious commitments in higher education. The findings represent retrospective self-reports and do not establish longitudinal or causal changes in spirituality.

Abstract

Academic studies of Majelis Tafsir Al-Qur'an (MTA) have discussed dietary rulings, scriptural interpretation, and religious authority, but their findings remain dispersed across publications with different objects and evidentiary value. This article examines how the selected literature represents four interrelated dimensions of MTA’s theology of lawful and prohibited food: scriptural foundations, interpretive methodology, the construction of halal (lawful), haram (prohibited), and ṭayyib (wholesome or good), and religious authority. It employs a qualitative literature review of academic publications identified through Google Scholar, Scopus, Crossref, Dimensions, Garuda, and DOAJ. The sources were analyzed thematically while distinguishing studies that directly examine MTA from contextual scholarship on Qur'anic food concepts. Direct evidence represents MTA as grounding dietary classifications primarily in the Qur'an and Hadith. Other MTA-specific studies describe its approach as text-oriented while also identifying interpretive revision, limited forms of legal reasoning, institutional publications, and organizational authority. Contextual scholarship broadens the meaning of ṭayyib, but does not establish that MTA adopts all its ethical, health-related, or environmental dimensions. The review integrates the four dimensions into a bounded account of how academic literature has represented MTA’s dietary theology. Its conclusions remain limited by the small and heterogeneous body of MTA-specific food research.
