Abstract

This study examines the roles of brokers and logistics routes in Indonesia's narcotics supply chain, which has evolved into a transnational network connecting Golden Triangle production centers (particularly Myanmar's Shan State) with domestic markets through intermediate distribution nodes. The research employs a normative juridical method supported by a socio-legal approach and qualitative analysis, utilizing data from UNODC, BNN (National Narcotics Agency), Customs, and previous research reports to analyze the intersection of global economic dynamics, legal system weaknesses, and narcotics trafficking operations. Findings reveal that brokers serve three critical functions: connecting international manufacturers with domestic markets, controlling pricing mechanisms, and designing logistics routes through major ports (Tanjung Priok, Batam) and minor harbors across maritime and air channels. Indonesia's consumer market comprises approximately 3.3 million narcotics users (1.73% of the population aged 15-64 years), with high prevalence rates in North Sumatra (6.5%), South Sumatra (5%), and DKI Jakarta (3.3%). However, law enforcement remains concentrated at the downstream level, with over 70% of prosecuted cases targeting users and couriers rather than intermediate brokers. Legal system weaknesses—particularly in Money Laundering (TPPU) instruments, customs supervision, and international cooperation—enable brokers to exploit regulatory gaps and maintain network resilience despite increased arrests. From the Maqasid Syariah perspective, specifically the principle of Hifz al-'Aql (protection of reason), this study proposes non-penal policy reconstruction emphasizing preventive, educational, and rehabilitative approaches that extend beyond criminal sanctions to protect community morals, reason, and welfare through structural reforms in financial regulation, logistics supervision, and international legal diplomacy.

Abstract

This study examines the Marriage is Scary phenomenon among young generations in Medan City, characterized by increasing fear of marriage driven by economic concerns, family trauma, and social media influence, and analyzes it from the perspective of Islamic Family Law. Using a qualitative field research approach through interviews, observations, and documentation involving young adults and officials at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) Medan, the study reveals that this trend reflects low legal awareness and a weakened understanding of Islamic values related to marriage, thereby contradicting the maqāshid al-sharī‘ah, particularly ḥifẓ al-nasl and ḥifẓ al-‘ird. Although KUA Medan has responded through premarital counseling and digital education initiatives, their effectiveness remains limited due to low youth participation and a lack of innovative material. The study concludes that strengthening legal awareness, applying progressive legal approaches, and internalizing maqāshid-oriented education are essential to shaping positive perceptions of marriage among young Muslims.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has opened new possibilities in various aspects of Islamic religious practice, including fatwā issuance processes. While AI demonstrates significant potential in enhancing the efficiency and accessibility of Islamic legal opinions, fundamental questions remain regarding its appropriate role and limitations within traditional ijtihād frameworks. This study examines the potential and boundaries of AI as a supporting instrument in fatwā processes through a comprehensive SWOT analysis and case study evaluation. Employing qualitative literature review methodology combined with content analysis of AI implementations at Dar al-Ifta Miṣr and automated fatwā generation systems, this research identifies AI's capabilities and constraints in Islamic jurisprudential contexts. Findings reveal that AI can enhance efficiency by up to 70% in administrative stages, particularly in evidence searching, madhhab opinion mapping, and comparative analysis of contemporary fatwās. AI's strengths include big data processing capacity, 24/7 accessibility, and cross-madhhab analytical capabilities. However, critical limitations exist in understanding psychological dimensions of mustaftīs, comprehending maqāṣid al-sharīʿah holistically, and performing creative ijtihād for novel cases. The SWOT analysis further identifies external threats, including potential replacement of muftī authority, commercialization risks, and fiqh homogenization. This study concludes that AI should be positioned as a non-binding decision-support system within a human-in-the-loop model, where final substantive fatwā authority remains exclusively with qualified human muftīs. Nine operational recommendations are provided for fatwā institutions, AI developers, educational institutions, and government regulators to ensure responsible and proportional AI implementation aligned with Islamic epistemological and ethical values.

Abstract

This study investigates the semantic frames and conceptual constructions of the term رَبّ (rabb/Lord) in the Quran through a cognitive linguistic approach, specifically Frame Semantics (Fillmore, 1982) and Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980). While the concept of rububiyyah has been extensively studied theologically, systematic semantic-cognitive analysis of this fundamental concept remains limited. Using a mixed-methods design, we analyzed 25 representative verses from the Quranic Arabic Corpus through a five-stage frame identification protocol. Six primary semantic frames were identified: Divine_Creation, Divine_Provision, Divine_Guidance, Divine_Sovereignty, Divine_Nurturing, and Divine_Mercy, with significant differences in frame frequency between Makki and Madani revelations (χ²=18.47, p<0.01). Three dominant conceptual metaphors structure the concept of Rabb: RUBUBIYYAH IS NURTURING, RUBUBIYYAH IS SOVEREIGNTY, and DIVINE PROVISION IS DESCENDING. Findings were triangulated with classical tafsir (Ibn Kathir, al-Tabari), five sahih hadiths (Bukhari, Muslim), and Salafi scholarship (Ibn Uthaymin, Ibn Baz), demonstrating that cognitive linguistic methods can enhance semantic understanding of the Quran without compromising theological authenticity.

Abstract

Running has transformed from a simple exercise into an urban lifestyle phenomenon that combines fitness, social identity, and consumerism. This transformation raises critical questions about the ethical boundaries of consumption in contemporary Muslim communities, particularly regarding the Qur'anic concepts of tabdhīr (wastefulness) and isrāf (excess). This study examines the runner culture through the lens of Abdul Mustaqim's tafsīr maqāṣidī, a Qur'anic exegetical approach that emphasizes the higher objectives (maqāṣid) of Islamic law, including the preservation of wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl), well-being (ḥifẓ al-nafs), and social justice ('adl). Using qualitative library research with content analysis, this study investigates Qur'anic verses related to tabdhīr and isrāf (Q.S. al-Isrā' [17]:26-27, al-A'rāf [7]:31, al-An'ām [6]:141) and their application to contemporary consumer behavior. The findings reveal that runner culture often manifests characteristics of isrāf through quantitative excess and tabdhīr through purposeless spending driven by social media visibility and brand competition. The study proposes the operationalization of four maqāṣidī values: wasaṭiyyah (balance), maṣlaḥah (social benefit), 'adl (justice), and tawāḍu' (humility) as ethical frameworks for transforming runner culture from consumerist trends into spiritually meaningful practices. This research contributes to contemporary Islamic ethics by demonstrating the relevance of maqāṣidī exegesis in addressing modern lifestyle challenges and offers practical guidance for Muslim communities seeking to balance physical well-being with ethical consumption.
The Transformation of the Qurban Sacrifice from Charitable to Empowerment-Oriented: a Case Study of Cross-Border Philanthropic Collaboration in the Tebar Qurban 1447 H Program from the Perspective of Maqāṣid al-Syarīʿah Ahmad Zaky; Abdul Gafur Arifin; Indra Indra; Tiy Kusmarrabbi; Fakhrurrozi Fakhrurrozi; Irham Dongoran; Muhammad Luqman El Hakim

Abstract

The ritual of qurban (animal sacrifice) is frequently reduced to a charitable event in which meat is distributed and the program ends, leaving little empowerment behind. This study examines how the Tebar Qurban 1447 H program—a cross-national philanthropic collaboration between STAI As-Sunnah Deli Serdang, the Arrisalah Humanitarian Foundation (Indonesia), and the Bayaan Association (Singapore)—reconstructs qurban from a charitable model into an instrument of community empowerment. Using a qualitative instrumental case-study design, data were gathered through participant observation, documentation, and key-informant interviews across fifteen assisted villages in North Sumatra, then analyzed interactively and read through the lens of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah and Islamic philanthropy. The findings show that integrating Asset-Based Community Development with a service-learning cycle produced—at the level of process and output indicators—1,014 daʿwah-educational activities reaching 17,197 participant-visits, 21 Friday sermons attended by 1,117 worshippers, and the managed slaughter and distribution of 45 sacrificial animals across the villages. Read through maqāṣid, the program shifts the emphasis from the ritual form toward its higher objectives—social takāful, the preservation of life, and the cultivation of taqwā—positioning villagers as active subjects rather than passive recipients. The study concludes that structurally managed cross-national Islamic philanthropy can transform qurban into a sustainable vehicle of empowerment and value internalization, provided it is sustained by continued mentoring and productive follow-up

Abstract

Education in Indonesia continues to face challenges in fostering meaningful learning, particularly in Islamic Cultural History (SKI), which requires historical understanding, critical reflection, and value internalization. These challenges intensify for Generation Alpha learners, whose learning preferences are visual, interactive, and technology-mediated. This study examines the contribution of Rumah Peradaban SNC, a non-formal educational institution, to Generation Alpha's understanding of Islamic Cultural History through an experiential learning approach. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving facilitators, students, parents, and program administrators, and analyzed through data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, with credibility ensured via source and method triangulation. Findings show that Rumah Peradaban SNC strengthens students' historical understanding by integrating storytelling, visual media, educational games, role play, collaborative activities, and guided reflection into a coherent learning process. Meaningful historical learning emerges not from technology alone but from the interaction of experiential activities, facilitator guidance, and reflective dialogue that enable students to reconstruct historical narratives and internalize Islamic values. The program nonetheless faces contextual challenges, including unequal digital infrastructure, unstable connectivity, and students' susceptibility to technological distraction, underscoring the need to balance digital engagement with reflection. This study contributes to discussions on Generation Alpha by showing that experiential learning bridges students' digital learning characteristics and the reflective aims of Islamic Cultural History education, and highlights the complementary role of non-formal institutions in strengthening formal Islamic education through contextual, experience-based learning.

Abstract

Tafsir al-Azhar by Hamka (Prof. Dr. Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah) stands as one of the most influential contemporary Qur'anic commentaries in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, widely recognized for its balanced methodology and reform-oriented perspective. Nevertheless, no exegetical work is entirely immune from al-dakhīl — spurious or extraneous interpretive materials that have infiltrated the tafsir tradition. This reality demands critical scrutiny of how exegetes identify, evaluate, and reject such materials. This study aims to identify instances of al-dakhīl explicitly rejected by Hamka in Tafsir al-Azhar within Sūrat al-Baqarah, and to analyze the scholarly principles underlying his rejection. An inductive method was employed to inventory relevant cases, complemented by a critical analytical approach to examine the rejected narratives and opinions alongside their academic justifications. The findings reveal that the al-dakhīl rejected by Hamka encompasses Isrāʾīliyyāt traditions, weak narrations, mythological stories, and interpretations derived from unreliable or non-Islamic sources. In evaluating these materials, Hamka consistently applied two primary criteria: conformity with the Qur'an and authenticated Sunnah, and coherence with sound reasoning and established principles of Qur'anic exegesis. This study underscores the critical-evaluative dimension of Hamka's exegetical methodology and his contribution to purifying the tafsir tradition from interpretively unsound materials. The findings enrich contemporary scholarship on exegetical criticism and al-dakhīl studies within the Indonesian Qur'anic interpretive tradition.

Abstract

This discourse examines the Safīnah Kallā Saya‘lamūn exegesis, which employs historical analogies to demonstrate the relevance of the historical content in the Qur’an; however, the criteria for testing these claims against empirical history remain underdeveloped. This study proposes a “Chronological-Epistemic Evaluation” model to critique the use of historical analogies in Indonesian exegetical works, particularly the Tafsir Safīnah Kallā Saya‘lamūn, which interprets Surah Ar-Rūm [30]:1–5 by claiming a date correspondence (17 Ramadan/August 17) and stating that a discrepancy of one or two days is permissible across all calendars. Through qualitative research, this study employs an astronomical algorithm for Hijri-Gregorian conversion to verify the claim of a direct temporal correspondence between the Roman victory (7th century) and Indonesian Independence (1945). The research findings indicate that the text operates through a "mediating authority" structure, projecting a nationalist narrative onto the Qur’anic text to achieve "symbolic truth". However, a rigorous chronological analysis proves that the claim of date correspondence is astronomically impossible due to the stability of the Gregorian calendar and the shifting lunar cycle. This study concludes that the text commits a category error by conflating metaphor (majāz) with empirical fact (haqīqah), thereby threatening scholarly integrity. Consequently, this research recommends that contemporary mufassirs adopt a "double validation" protocol balancing contextual relevance with strict empirical audits before publishing historical claims and advises readers to critically approach such historical analogies as symbolic pedagogy rather than literal historiography, thereby reinstating the principle of academic caution (iḥtiyāṭ).

Abstract

The dissemination of Islam in Indonesia is undergoing a paradigm shift in which a preacher’s image is constructed in a decentralized manner through social media, with public relations (PR) operating not top-down from official management but through organic fan participation. This study maps and compares content strategies on Instagram and TikTok in constructing the personal branding of Gus Kautsar as an authentic, humble preacher close to Millennials and Generation Z. Employing a qualitative comparative case study design, it analyzes the 120 most popular content pieces from major fan-page accounts between January 2024 and March 2026, using thematic reduction with the eight laws of personal branding (Montoya, 2002) as the primary framework, supported by the Share/Optimize/Manage/Engage digital PR model (Luttrell, 2018) and a parasocial intimacy strategy matrix for millennial preachers. The findings reveal a complementary synergy between the two platforms that forms an audience engagement funnel: TikTok dominates the top-funnel awareness function through short, humorous clips, distinctive linguistic accents, and high virality, while Instagram assumes the mid-to-bottom funnel role, facilitating the depth of dawuh (teachings) narratives, visual aesthetics, and contemplative community interaction. Gus Kautsar’s branding is thus constructed cohesively through an organic, polycentric PR ecosystem without his official account, with message authenticity and emotional resonance as the primary catalysts mobilizing fans as active distribution agents. The study contributes to digital PR literature by demonstrating the effectiveness of organic earned media in syiar practices and offering a hybrid strategic framework for preachers and Islamic institutions navigating the algorithmic ecosystem.
