Abstract

The Qur'an uses stories as a medium to convey moral messages for the creation of a virtuous human community. Scholars, such as Wahbah Zuhaylī, interpret these stories and derive various lessons and wisdom from them. In his exegesis al-Munīr, Zuhaylī discusses the "fiqh al-hayah" or lessons that can be learned from the interpreted verses. As a result, this article explores the deeper wisdom within the story of Prophet Sulaiman and the hoopoe bird, regarding Zuhaili's al-Munīr exegesis. This research utilizes a library research approach and a descriptive-analytical method. The findings indicate that the story of Prophet Sulaiman and the hoopoe bird offers wisdom on leadership values, interpersonal relationships, wisdom, honesty, and humility in acknowledging the knowledge provided by Allah.

Abstract

This study delves into the Quranic concept of ideal leadership by examining the narrative of Prophet Yusuf and its alignment with transformational leadership theory. Utilizing a qualitative library research approach, this analysis synthesizes insights from an array of primary and secondary sources including classical Islamic texts and contemporary scholarly articles. It identifies key leadership qualities exemplified by Prophet Yusuf such as intellectual prowess, professionalism, fairness, consistency, and the capacity to nurture a productive and inclusive environment. These attributes are juxtaposed with Bernard M. Bass's transformational leadership framework, which comprises intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation, individualized consideration, and idealized influence. The research articulates how the leadership exemplified by Prophet Yusuf resonates with modern theoretical constructs and offers practical implications for contemporary leadership in organizational and national contexts. The findings underscore the enduring relevance of Quranic narratives in informing and enhancing modern leadership paradigms.

Abstract

This article delves into the recitation of Surah al-Kahf on the live streaming Instagram account of the Dompet Dhuafa community during the Ramadan program. The practice of reading Surah al-Kahf is recommended as one of the Sunnah practices, particularly on Fridays, as established by the hadith of Prophet Muhammad. This phenomenon continues to evolve within society. The research adopts a library research approach and utilizes Stuart Hall's encoding-decoding theory to analyze the phenomenon of reading Surah al-Kahf. The aim is to assess the alignment of the intended message by the video producer with the message perceived by the audience. The research findings reveal two interpretative meanings, in accordance with Stuart Hall's theory of encoding. The first is the dominant position, where the informant advocates for the recitation of Surah al-Kahf as a Sunnah to be performed every Friday. The negotiated position, on the other hand, reflects the informant's belief that reading Surah al-Kahf is indeed a Friday Sunnah, but simultaneously holds a differing perspective. The intended message of the video producer, presenting the recitation of Surah al-Kahf during Ramadan through live Instagram streaming, effectively reaches the audience. This conclusion is drawn from the response of informants who incorporate the recitation of Surah al-Kahf as a regular practice on Fridays, extending beyond the month of Ramadan.

Abstract

This study aims to elucidate the multi-dimensional aspects of 'tafakkur' as depicted in the Quran, highlighting its implications for understanding the holistic integration of intellect and spirituality in Islamic teachings. Employing descriptive analytical methods, this study examines terms related to 'tafakkur' found in the Quran. The analysis identifies a rich framework of terms interconnected with 'tafakkur', demonstrating the Quran’s comprehensive approach to employing intellect and reason. Notably, 'tafakkur' is depicted not just as a cognitive activity but as a spiritual and moral duty essential for the full realization of Tawhid. 'Tafakkur' significantly enriches the Islamic intellectual tradition, emphasizing that true understanding of divine unity requires active and profound contemplation. This study reaffirms the critical role of reasoned faith and intellectual freedom in Islam.

Abstract

Ecology studies the reciprocal relationship between living organisms and their environment. The Al-Quran contains numerous verses that touch upon ecological themes. The ongoing reality, however, the ecological conditions of environments have not been properly solved which is evident by the rampant illegal logging and the lack of public awareness about environmental conservation. Some efforts to overcome the problem of environmental protection have been carried out by the student’s association of PA-LH Gainpala at Ar-Raniry University in Banda Aceh. This study aims to examine how ecological verses including their meanings and implications were understood and implemented in Gainpala. The type of this study is field research, and the data were collected through interviews and documentation. Then, the data were analyzed and presented using descriptive analysis. The results of the study show that Gainpala members generally had the same understanding of environmental ecology, yet they differed in terms of its implementation in protecting environments such as maintaining cleanliness and promoting environmental campaigns. Furthermore, Gainpala members also understood the messages contained in the Al-Quran, but they had not fully grasped yet the concept of ecological environment mentioned in the Al-Quran.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the interpretive methodology of the Al-Qur’an as proposed by Sahiron Syamsuddin, and its relevance in the discourse surrounding Al-Qur’an interpretation methodology in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative methodology with a library research model, this study primarily relies on Sahiron Syamsuddin’s book “Hermeneutics and Development of the Ulumul Qur’an,” among other works. Secondary sources include books and journal articles on hermeneutics, the Qur’an, and classical to modern-contemporary Tafsir literature. These sources are analyzed using descriptive-interpretive methods and historical-philosophical approaches. The findings of this research are twofold: Firstly, Sahiron’s approach aims to contextualize the relevance of the Qur’an in addressing contemporary issues, proposing an interpretive methodology that reconstructs and integrates classical methods with modern approaches, drawing from Western hermeneutic scholars. Secondly, the ma’nā-cum-maghzā methodology is deemed relevant in the current academic milieu for several reasons: it addresses the concerns of progressive Muslim thinkers; it meets the academic demand for evolving Qur’an study methodologies; and its widespread adoption and influence in academic circles in Indonesia, particularly due to its ability to harmonize classical and contemporary interpretations.

Abstract

The intersection of modern genetics and Islamic theology is a burgeoning field of inquiry. This study delves into how technological advancements, especially in genetics, complement the teachings of the Al-Qur’an. Modern genetics, which traces its origins to Gregor Mendel's pioneering work on heredity, provides a scientific framework for understanding the transmission of genetic information across generations. Contrary to the view that science and religion are mutually exclusive, this research, supported by the Ministry of Religion through the scientific interpretation found in Tafsir Ilmi Kemenag, demonstrates their potential synergy. It particularly focuses on Quranic verses that align with genetic principles, such as the developmental stages of a human embryo detailed in Surahs Ar-Rahman, Al-Insan, As-Sajadah, Al-Mu'min, and Al-Hajj. These verses metaphorically describe the embryonic stages that echo modern genetic descriptions of DNA's role in human development. Our findings illustrate that the Quran anticipates certain modern scientific discoveries, offering a unique blend of scriptural interpretation and empirical science to bridge the gap between faith and rational inquiry.

Abstract

Yāsīn is the name of one of the surahs of the Qur’an that is often recited by Muslims in various circumstances. In Dayah Insan Qur'ani, one of the religious education institutions in Aceh, the recitation was carried out when a theft occurred at Dayah. Surah Yāsīn recited for seven consecutive nights to reveal the theft perpetrator. Several questions about what the normative basis is, how it is recited, and how it affects; It needs to be answered through a study that combines literature review and field study. To obtain primary data, a series of observations, interviews and documentation studies were conducted. Data were analyzed using domain analysis techniques as commonly done in social research, as well as cultural theme analysis techniques that are often used in cultural research. The results showed that so far, no evidence has been found specifically regarding the teaching of the recitation of Surah Yāsīn to reveal theft cases. The recitation of Surah Yāsīn is performed jointly between the students and teachers for seven consecutive nights. This practice is seen as a form of tabarruk with verses of the Qur’an and is also part of tawassul. The influence felt by victims of theft includes a sense of calm and sincerity in accepting test of losing certain items. The effect of this activity on the perpetrators of theft is the emergence of fear, anxiety that encourages some of the perpetrators to return the stolen goods either secretly or openly.

Abstract

Family harmony is a fundamental human aspiration, significantly impacting the religious and educational development of children as they witness their parents' lives. This study explores the construction of a harmonious family according to the Qur'an, using Sternberg's love theory, which posits that an ideal marriage is built on three components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. Similarly, the Qur'an describes a harmonious family through the concepts of sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah. This research is a library research study, utilizing data from various books and literature. The descriptive-analytical approach is employed to present and analyze the data in alignment with the Qur'an. The findings reveal that Sternberg's love theory aligns with the Qur'anic perspective on maintaining a healthy family sexual relationship, illustrated by the components of intimacy and passion, as reflected in the Qur'anic verses Al-Baqarah 2:223, An-Nisa' 4:19, and Al-Baqarah 2:187. These verses underscore the significance of sexual relations within the family. Additionally, the commitment component corresponds to the union of husband and wife in all matters, as depicted in An-Nisa' 4:1.
