Abstract

Low self-acceptance can have a significant negative impact on an individual's body image and mental health. The body positivity movement has emerged in response to unrealistic physical standards, promoting an attitude of gratitude and acceptance toward one's own body. This study examines the role of body positivity in mental health and self-acceptance from a Qur’anic perspective. Employing a qualitative, library-based research design with a thematic (maudhu'i) approach, the study analyzes relevant Qur’anic verses—namely, QS. Al-Tin: 4, QS. Al-A'raf: 31, QS. Ibrahim: 7, and QS. Al-Hujurat: 13. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources, including classical and contemporary tafsir literature as well as relevant scientific studies. The findings demonstrate that the Qur’an embodies values supportive of body positivity, such as recognition of the perfection of human creation, the centrality of gratitude, and an emphasis on piety over physical appearance. These results indicate that the principles of body positivity are consonant with Islamic teachings and can contribute to improved mental health, self-confidence, and the reduction of stress associated with unrealistic body standards. The practical implication is that Qur’anic values may serve as a foundation for nurturing positive self-awareness and psychological well-being.

Abstract

This study explores the Qur’anic perspective on orphan care as articulated in Tafsir Al-Misbah by M. Quraish Shihab, and examines how these principles are reflected in the caregiving practices at An-Nur Orphanage, Medan. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through documentation, field observations, and in-depth interviews, and analyzed thematically and comparatively. The findings highlight four key principles emphasized in Tafsir Al-Misbah: compassion, gradual education, moral responsibility, and spiritual protection. These values are evident in An-Nur’s daily routines, educational programs, and the empathetic relationships between caregivers and children. However, the study also identifies obstacles, including limited professional human resources, the lack of tafsir-based training, and the absence of structured psychosocial strategies. This gap suggests a divergence between Qur’anic ideals and current institutional practices in Islamic orphan care. The results underscore the need to integrate Qur’anic values into orphanage policies and caregiver training programs. The novelty of this research lies in connecting thematic Qur’anic interpretation with empirical institutional analysis, offering a holistic and practical Islamic parenting model for orphans in today’s socio-religious context.

Abstract

The Sarafal Anam tradition, performed during the Maulid celebration in Aceh Tamiang, reflects a culturally embedded practice through which Qur’anic values are enacted and transmitted. While often seen as a ceremonial event, this tradition offers deeper significance as a form of lived engagement with sacred texts, particularly within the framework of the Living Qur’an. This study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, using field observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis to examine the embodiment of Qur’anic values in the Sarafal Anam tradition. The research was conducted in Kaloy Village, a community known for its consistent preservation of this practice. Thematic analysis was employed with the support of NVivo software to identify key patterns and values expressed through the tradition. Findings reveal that Sarafal Anam functions both as a religious ritual and an educational medium that transmits Qur’anic principles such as prophetic devotion, compassion, social solidarity, and moral responsibility. The practice integrates elements of local culture—regional language, traditional foods, and poetic forms—demonstrating how Islamic values adapt to and are sustained within specific cultural contexts. The tradition plays an important role in character development, especially among the youth, though recent trends show a decline in their active participation. The Sarafal Anam tradition exemplifies the Living Qur’an, offering a meaningful intersection between scripture and culture. To ensure its sustainability, the study recommends youth-centered revitalization efforts, digital adaptation, and institutional support. This research contributes to Qur’anic studies by highlighting how localized rituals serve as dynamic sites for ethical education and cultural continuity in the modern Muslim world.
Reinterpreting Coercive Begging in Islam through the Tafsir of Wahbah al-Zuḥaili Anam, A'azliansyah Farizil; Maram, Ahmad Nabilul; Nafiah, Zahrah Faizatun; Hidayat, Hakmi

Abstract

The phenomenon of coercive begging raises complex social and ethical challenges. As a contemporary mufassir, Wahbah al-Zuḥaili addresses this issue through a distinctive approach that integrates modern social-ethical perspectives with Qur’anic teachings, specifically in QS. al-Baqarah (2): 273. This study aims to assess the ongoing relevance of his interpretation. It focuses on how al-Zuḥaili interprets coercive begging in this verse, as well as the epistemological and socio-political factors that shape his perspective. Employing Gadamer’s hermeneutics as the analytical framework, this research bridges the horizon of classical texts with contemporary social realities. The findings demonstrate that al-Zuḥaili’s interpretive method is both dynamic and integrative: he draws on lexical and grammatical analysis, classical and modern textual engagement, and historical experience to construct contextual and meaningful interpretations, all while remaining faithful to the core of the divine message. This model contributes to the evolution of Qur’anic interpretation, making it more responsive to the needs of contemporary society. The study reveals that al-Zuḥaili interprets the phrase lā yasʾalūn al-nās ilḥāfā as a prohibition of coercion rather than a blanket prohibition of asking. This interpretation reflects his engagement with the realities of coercive begging in Syria and Egypt during his lifetime. Al-Zuḥaili responds to the tension between scriptural text and contemporary socio-legal realities by proposing a practical alternative: rather than relying solely on criminal sanctions, governments should systematically identify vulnerable groups, foster interactive dialogue, and strengthen social welfare programs.

Abstract

This study explores how students at UIN Sunan Kudus interpret and practice the message of Surah Al-A‘raf verse 31 through the adoption of a minimalist lifestyle. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach within the Living Qur’an framework, the research investigates how this verse functions not as a distant command, but as a daily reference for living with purpose, moderation, and awareness. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation involving 15 students who had adopted minimalist habits for at least six months. The findings show that the call to avoid isrāf (excess) is understood by students as a principle that shapes their choices in spending, organizing priorities, and managing time. Minimalism, in their view, reflects Islamic values such as moderation (wasatiyyah), contentment (qanā‘ah), and gratitude. It also supports clarity of mind, self-restraint, and a more focused approach to both academic and spiritual life. Several students described how this practice helped them respond to social pressures and consumerist habits within their peer and family environments. Rather than being seen as a trend or ideal, minimalism became part of how they carried their faith into daily routines. Surah Al-A‘raf verse 31, as they lived it, offered practical guidance in navigating choices—grounded not in theory, but in the rhythm of ordinary life.

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 examines the eschatological interpretations in Tafsir Fayḍ al-Raḥmān by Sholeh Darat, a prominent Javanese mufasir of the 19th century. It delves into the nuances of Sholeh Darat's interpretation of Surah al-Baqarah verses 24-25, exploring its method, sources, and style, particularly in the context of the Javanese cultural milieu. The research employs library research and content analysis methods, incorporating a historical approach to understand Sholeh Darat's interpretations within the socio-political and cultural dynamics of his era. The study reveals that Sholeh Darat's interpretations are a blend of traditional Sunni views and Sufistic insights, which he adapts to the Javanese context, thus making Islamic eschatology more accessible to the local populace. His critiques of Mu’tazilah views and the rationalist movement of his time reflect his role in safeguarding Islamic orthodoxy in Java. The study concludes that Sholeh Darat's eschatological interpretations in Tafsir Fayḍ al-Raḥmān significantly impact both the religious understanding and social practices of Javanese Muslims, strengthening their faith and providing a more relatable and comprehensible view of Islamic eschatology.

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 identification of the meaning of nafs wāḥidah, as produced by various interpretations through Adam, is claimed to be a biased interpretation mechanism based on certain orientations. This research aims to uncover the interpreters' orientation towards the text by situating the interpretation process as the interpreter's interaction with the text within a specific communication context. To achieve this objective, a qualitative method is employed in this research, utilizing a reception frame introduced by Wolfgang Iser. This study reveals that the interpreter's orientation towards specific meanings is constrained by the linguistic structure of the Qur'an, which has been schematized. This constraint on the interpreter's orientation occurs when seeking the contextual significance of the verse through syntagmatic and paradigmatic interconnections. The interpreter's relationship with the Qur'an within a specific communication context limits and shapes tendencies in the interpretation process, which is text-driven. In this context, the interpretation of the term nafs wāḥidah, in its various forms, does not exhibit any discernible biases towards producing meanings in alignment with the interpreter's preferences. Instead, the interpreter solely seeks contextual clues within the verse's structure, thereby associating the meaning of nafs wāḥidah with other terms in an interconnected context.

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.
