Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital technology has significantly reshaped religious expression and political engagement in Indonesia. Social media platforms have evolved beyond communication tools into arenas of ideological contestation, identity formation, and religiously framed political mobilization. This article examines the intersection of Islam, religious moderation, and digital political polarization through a socio-legal and digital humanities approach. Using qualitative methods based on literature review and digital discourse analysis, the study explores academic scholarship, state policies, and contemporary social media dynamics within the Indonesian context. The findings indicate that social media algorithms contribute to the formation of echo chambers and identity fragmentation, intensifying religiously infused political polarization. In such environments, religion is often instrumentalized for electoral purposes, generating potential social harm (mafsadah) and weakening social cohesion. Nevertheless, Islamic teachings provide a strong normative foundation for balance and justice through the principles of wasathiyah (moderation) and maqaṣid al-shariʿah (objectives of Islamic law), which emphasize the protection of faith, life, intellect, lineage, and property. This study argues that religious moderation must be reconstructed as an adaptive epistemological and cultural movement responsive to algorithmic logic. Strengthening value-based digital literacy, revitalizing scholarly religious authority, and fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration are essential strategies for sustaining social harmony amid digital disruption.

Abstract

The Kenduri tradition is an annual cultural practice observed by the Javanese and Malay communities. This tradition embodies significant cultural and religious values. The purpose of this study is to analyze the Kenduri tradition in Asahan Regency from the perspective of Islamic communication philosophy by applying the theory of communication principles. This study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews and documentation. The findings reveal that the Kenduri tradition in Bumiharjo Village reflects Islamic communication values, particularly the principle of qaulan layyinan (gentle and respectful speech). The tradition is practiced in a polite and courteous manner, where community members respect and appreciate one another. In addition, the Kenduri tradition is conducted modestly and without extravagance. The implementation of this tradition is also aligned with Islamic religious norms and values. Furthermore, the Kenduri tradition is practiced honestly and fairly within the community in Asahan Regency. Based on the findings, the Kenduri tradition can serve as a medium for conveying Islamic messages to society. This tradition also contributes to increasing public awareness of Islamic values and fostering noble moral character within the community.

Abstract

This study examines and analyzes the subjective and normative aspects of the distribution of joint property after divorce in Decision Number 1290/Pdt.G/2021/PA.Pdg. The research aims to analyze the legal process and judicial considerations applied in determining the distribution of joint property between the plaintiff and the defendant. The study employs a qualitative approach combining normative juridical analysis and field research. Primary data are obtained through interviews with ex-husband (plaintiff), ex-wife (defendant), the Chief Judge of the Padang Religious Court, and an Islamic family law scholar. Secondary data consist of judicial decisions, statutory regulations, and relevant academic literature. Data are analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s techniques, including data reduction, descriptive narrative presentation, and iterative conclusion drawing. The findings show that the dispute over joint property arises from different interpretations of ownership between the plaintiff and the defendant regarding a house acquired during marriage. Although Article 35 of Law Number 1 of 1974 and Article 97 of the Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI) generally recognize equal division of joint property, the court considers the financial contribution of a third party, namely the defendant’s mother. The judge applies the principles of good faith, distributive justice, and recognition of third-party contributions in determining a proportional distribution of the property. From the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly the principle of ḥifẓ al-māl (protection of property), the decision reflects an effort to safeguard legitimate ownership and prevent unjust enrichment while maintaining fairness in family economic relations. These findings imply that integrating statutory law and maqāṣid principles can strengthen substantive justice in resolving joint property disputes in Islamic family law.

Abstract

The rise of online gambling in the digital era has created new challenges to household stability, particularly when it causes the neglect of alimony obligations within marriage. This study aims to analyze the divorce decision in Case Number 304/Pdt.G/2025/PA.SJJ by examining the relationship between alimony neglect, online gambling, and marital breakdown from normative legal and maqasid al-shariah perspectives. This research employs a qualitative case study approach using primary data obtained through interviews with the plaintiff, defendant, presiding judge, and an Islamic law scholar. Secondary data were collected from court decisions, statutory regulations, and relevant literature. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model combined with case interpretation. The findings show that online gambling became a catalyst for the misuse of household financial resources, resulting in neglected alimony obligations and prolonged domestic conflict. Normatively, these conditions fulfill the legal grounds for divorce under Law Number 1 of 1974 and Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI). From the maqasid al-shariah perspective, such behavior violates the protection of life (hifz al-nafs), property (hifz al-mal), intellect (hifz al-aql), and offspring (hifz al-nasl). Therefore, the court's decision reflects the principle of preventing greater harm within the household. Consequently, the study contributes to the development of maqasid-based legal interpretation in contemporary divorce cases, particularly those arising from emerging digital social problems such as online gambling.

Abstract

The environmental crisis in Indonesia demonstrates that ecological problems are not solely caused by technical or natural factors, but are also linked to failures in political governance, the dominance of a development paradigm focused on economic growth, and the weak integration of ethical values into the management of natural resources. Various phenomena such as deforestation, agrarian conflicts, ecosystem degradation, weak enforcement of environmental law, and limited public participation in policy-making reflect a gap between the development agenda and the principles of ecological sustainability. This article aims to analyse the relevance of Prophetic Ecological Ethics, derived from the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), as an alternative paradigm for both critiquing and reconstructing the direction of environmental policy in Indonesia. This study employs a qualitative method based on a literature review, utilising a normative-textual approach and an analysis of Islamic environmental ethics. Research data was obtained from hadiths concerning the environment, classical Islamic literature, reputable academic articles, and contemporary environmental policy documents. The findings indicate that the Prophet’s hadiths contain fundamental principles such as khalifah (stewardship), amanah (responsibility), mīzān (balance), lā ḍarar wa lā ḍirār (prohibition against causing harm), as well as conservation practices such as hima, which regard nature as a trust to be safeguarded for the benefit of all living beings. These findings demonstrate that Prophetic Ecological Ethics holds theoretical significance as a framework that integrates spiritual, moral, social, and ecological dimensions into environmental governance. Therefore, the integration of prophetic values into public policy, education, and natural resource management has the potential to strengthen ecological justice, sustainable development, and community participation in environmental protection.

Abstract

Children born from unregistered marriages continue to occupy a legally vulnerable position within Indonesian family law. Existing studies predominantly examine the civil consequences of unregistered marriages or the administrative status of children, while limited attention has been given to how judicial reasoning constructs legal protection through the determination of a child’s lineage. This study addresses that gap by analyzing the legal foundations and judicial construction employed in parentage determination petitions and their implications for strengthening child protection within Islamic family law. The research applies a qualitative legal method using normative and empiris, conceptual, and case approaches through the examination of court decisions, statutory regulations, and legal doctrine. The data were collected through interviews with Religious Court judges and documentary analysis. The findings reveal that judges do not merely verify biological relationships but develop a child-centered legal construction by integrating the principle of the best interests of the child with Islamic legal requirements concerning the validity of marriage and evidentiary standards. Judicial assessment of witnesses, documentary evidence, and trial facts functions as a mechanism for transforming factual parent-child relationships into legally recognized civil status. This study argues that the determination of lineage serves as a juridical instrument of rights restoration, creating a protective framework that secures inheritance rights, maintenance, guardianship, and civil registration while reducing the adverse effects of legal uncertainty arising from unregistered marriages. The research contributes a conceptual model of lineage determination as a child protection mechanism that bridges Islamic family law principles, evidentiary law, and contemporary child rights standards.

Abstract

One of the fundamental characteristics of Islamic law that enables it to remain dynamic and adaptable across different times and circumstances is its principle of flexibility. This flexibility has allowed Islamic law to be interpreted and implemented in diverse ways across regions and historical periods. Consequently, contemporary applications of Islamic law in Muslim-majority countries exhibit distinct characteristics and dynamics shaped by their respective socio-cultural contexts. In Indonesia, Muslim legal scholars have actively sought to harmonize Islamic law with the social realities and cultural values of Indonesian society. One prominent figure in this endeavor is Tengku Muhammad Hasbi ash-Shiddieqy, who introduced the concept of Fikih Indonesia (Indonesian Fiqh). Through this idea, Hasbi sought to develop a model of Islamic jurisprudence that reflects Indonesian values, social conditions, and cultural traditions. Hasbi’s concept emerged from his critical assessment of classical Islamic jurisprudence, which he regarded as being heavily influenced by Middle Eastern socio-cultural contexts. As a result, many classical legal formulations, in his view, could not always adequately address the needs and realities of Indonesian society, whose values, characteristics, and social tendencies differ significantly from those of the Middle East. Therefore, he argued that the development of a system of Islamic jurisprudence grounded in the Indonesian context would enhance the relevance, applicability, and effectiveness of Islamic law within Indonesian society while fostering a more harmonious relationship between Islamic law and local social realities.From a theoretical perspective, Hasbi’s thought represents a manifestation of the dialectical relationship between universality and particularity in Islamic law. The dynamism of Islamic law is made possible through a continuous and productive dialogue between universal Islamic principles and the particular circumstances of specific societies. In this regard, Hasbi ash-Shiddieqy’s Fikih Indonesia serves as an important example of the dialectical nature of Islamic law and demonstrates how Islamic legal thought can remain faithful to its normative foundations while responding to the demands of changing social contexts.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines how Dayah Misbahurrasyad, a modern Islamic boarding school in Aceh Tamiang, integrates religious moderation and nationalism into the student’s education. Using observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, the research explores how values such as tolerance, anti-violence, justice, and respect for diversity are embedded through formal curricula, daily routines, and extracurricular activities. Nationalism is reinforced via flag ceremonies, scouting, Red Cross Youth (PMI) programs, and communal work (gotong royong). The study addresses concern about students’ limited grasp of nationalism and challenges stereotypes portraying Islamic boarding schools (dayah) as inherently “anti-nationalist.” Findings reveal that Dayah Misbahurrasyad actively fosters civic values and national identity by merging religious ethics with social practices, such as moderation-themed lessons and community service. This fills an empirical gap in literature that historically emphasizes dayah ’s doctrinal roles (e.g., Zuhdi, 2016) but lacks insight into modern strategies for cultivating inclusive nationalism. By centering santri as active agents in shaping pluralistic identities, the study highlights their role in Indonesia’s democracy. The research offers a replicable model for integrating moderation and nationalism in Islamic education, informing policies to strengthen social cohesion. Challenges, such as uneven student engagement and limited external interaction, underscore the need for innovative approaches to broaden inclusivity.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of Indonesia’s digital economy has transformed consumer protection from a product- and transaction-oriented issue into a broader question of digital governance, personal data security, platform responsibility, and risk-based regulatory compliance. Although existing studies have examined consumer protection, electronic commerce, and personal data protection separately, limited scholarly attention has been given to how these legal regimes can be integrated into a coherent compliance framework for digital business actors. This study aims to reconstruct digital consumer protection in Indonesia by developing an integrative risk-based compliance framework that connects consumer rights, data protection obligations, and platform accountability. Using normative juridical research with statutory and conceptual approaches, this study analyzes primary legal materials and relevant scholarly literature to assess the coherence of legal norms, the allocation of responsibility, and the adequacy of preventive and remedial mechanisms in digital transactions. The study finds that Indonesia’s digital consumer protection framework remains fragmented across several legal instruments, resulting in overlapping obligations, unclear platform liability, weak regulation of electronic standard clauses, and limited mechanisms for consumer redress in data-driven transactions. The proposed framework classifies compliance obligations according to the level of risk arising from digital business activities, including risks related to transaction asymmetry, misuse of personal data, algorithmic or platform-based control, and consumer loss recovery. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of consumer protection, personal data protection, and platform accountability into a single risk-based compliance model. Theoretically, this framework contributes to the development of digital consumer protection scholarship by shifting the analysis from sectoral regulation to integrated regulatory governance. Practically, it provides guidance for regulators, digital platforms, and business actors in designing preventive compliance systems, strengthening accountability mechanisms, and developing more effective online dispute resolution for digital consumers in Indonesia.
