Abstract

Reciting Al-Quran has become part of Muslim daily practices as a form of worship not only to obtain rewards and to seek tranquility through dzikr (remembering God) but also to comprehend its meanings. The routines of reading the Al-Quran have been done by various groups of age including elderly women in Al-Munawwarah mosque who also learn tahsin (Quranic recitation) diligently to read the Al-Quran properly. This study aims to investigate the relationship between Al-Quran recitation routines and memory retention of elderly women in Al-Munawwarah mosque in Lhok Bengkuang village, Tapaktuan district. The researchers used a quantitative approach to conduct this study with field research as a means to collect data. This data collection was conducted by distributing questionnaires to the respondents of the selected sample. Then the data were analyzed by using SPSS to examine the correlation or level of significant relationship between Al-Quran recitation frequency and elderly women’s memory retention. The results of the study show that a significant interrelationship or inferential correlation value of 0.008, with a coefficient correlation value of 0.710 was obtained. The value was less than alpha (0.05), thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between the routines of reading the Al-Quran and cognitive function.

Abstract

Ikhtilaf is differences of opinions in understanding a matter, but not everyone can accept those differences in navigating social life. In this case, some residents of Ceurih community in Aceh can accept the occurrence of ikhtilaf, while others might find it challenging and even reject it although ideally ikhtilaf must be accepted as explained in surah An-Nisa verse 59. Based on this issue, the researcher aimed to examine the community’s understanding in resolving the problem of ikhtilaf among them so far. This study was conducted using a qualitative method with field research as a means of data collection. The data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis generating descriptive data in the forms of people’s words or oral and observable behaviors. The results show that there were two understandings of resolving ikhtilaf. Some people within the society agreed with the village head’s decisions to resolve disagreements as mentioned in surah An-Nisa verse 59 that it is obligatory to follow ulil amr (the leader) as long as it does not contradict with Al-Quran and Sunnah. However, others dealt with ikhtilaf by making their personal decision without consulting their leader. Therefore, not all members of the community in Ceurih village implemented the essence of surah An-Nisa verse 59 in resolving the occurrence of ikhtilaf.

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 study aims to examine and compare the ideological visions of Sekarmaji Marijan Kartosuwiryo with Hamka's interpretations in Tafsir Al-Azhar, particularly regarding the Islamic concepts of faith, migration (hijrah), and jihad, and their implications for the formation of an Islamic state in post-independence Indonesia. Employing a comparative analysis methodology and bibliographic research approach, this study collected and analyzed data from a variety of primary and secondary sources, including books, journal articles, and historical documentation. The analysis reveals fundamental differences between Kartosuwiryo, who advocates for the establishment of an Islamic state based on strict Sharia principles with a radical approach, and Hamka, who emphasizes the necessity of spiritual and moral transformation through hijrah and jihad. While Kartosuwiryo views hijrah and jihad as political tools for social and political restructuring, Hamka interprets these concepts as a spiritual journey supporting internal change and personal growth.
Semantic and Scientific Interpretation of Al-Zill (Shadow) in the Qur'an: A Semantic-Based Tafsir ‘Ilmi of Surah al-Furqan (25:45–46) in Light of Geometric Optics Mudin, Moh. Isom; Sabilillah, Muhammad; Suharto, Ahmad; Saifuddin, Ahmad Farid

Abstract

Shadows as observable natural phenomena are described in the Qur’an, particularly in Surah al-Furqān (25:45–46), which portrays their extension, movement, and relation to the sun. This study aims to analyze the concept of al-ẓill (shadow) in these verses through a semantic-based approach to tafsīr ‘ilmī and to examine its conceptual correlation with principles of geometric optics. The research employs a qualitative textual method using a three-layered analytical framework consisting of semantic deconstruction, exegetical mapping, and conceptual correlation. The first stage analyzes key Qur’anic terms—madda, ẓill, dalīlan, and qabḍnāhu—through classical Arabic lexicons and semantic field analysis. The second stage examines interpretations from classical and modern exegetical works to trace the historical understanding of the verses. The third stage explores the conceptual alignment between the Qur’anic description of shadows and established principles of geometric optics concerning shadow formation and solar geometry. The findings indicate that the Qur’an describes shadows as dynamic and orderly phenomena governed by the position of the sun, reflecting a coherent observational pattern compatible with scientific explanations of shadow formation and variation. Rather than presenting scientific predictions, the Qur’anic narrative offers a phenomenological description of natural processes that invites reflection on cosmic order and divine wisdom. This study contributes a methodological model for interdisciplinary research that integrates semantic analysis of Qur’anic language with responsible engagement with scientific knowledge.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of women’s social autonomy in QS. At-Taubah [9]:71 through a comparative analysis of classical and contemporary Qur’anic exegesis. The verse establishes a framework of mutual responsibility between believing men and women through the concept of wilāyah and the shared obligation of amr ma‘rūf wa nahy munkar. This study employs a qualitative library-based approach grounded in thematic interpretation and comparative-interpretative analysis. The analysis focuses on selected classical exegetes, including al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, and al-Qurṭubī, alongside contemporary interpretations by M. Quraish Shihab and Nasaruddin Umar. The findings show that classical tafsir consistently affirms the equality of moral and spiritual responsibility between men and women, although it does not extensively elaborate the social implications of this principle. Contemporary interpretations build on this foundation by articulating wilāyah as a non-hierarchical relational concept that supports women’s participation in social and religious life. The comparison indicates continuity in core ethical principles alongside a shift in interpretive emphasis toward social engagement. This study proposes a conceptual formulation of women’s social autonomy derived from the internal structure of the verse, integrating theological, social, and ethical dimensions. The analysis demonstrates that women’s social autonomy is grounded in Qur’anic ethics rather than external constructs, and provides a framework for understanding women’s participation in contemporary Muslim societies, particularly in Indonesia. The study contributes to Qur’anic studies by offering a systematic conceptualization of social autonomy based on comparative tafsir and by highlighting the relevance of Qur’anic ethical principles for ongoing discussions of gender and social responsibility.

Abstract

The application of deconstructive hermeneutics to the Qur'an remains methodologically and epistemologically contested, particularly when applied to Surah Al-Fatihah, one of the Qur'an's most central liturgical and theological texts. Previous studies have primarily described Mohamed Arkoun's hermeneutical thought without critically examining the internal consistency of his interpretive method or evaluating its relevance and limitations for contemporary Qur'anic studies. This study addresses three questions: why Arkoun selected Surah Al-Fatihah as the object of his analysis, how he operationalized deconstructive hermeneutics in interpreting the surah, and how far this approach is relevant and where its limitations lie for contemporary exegetical scholarship. Employing qualitative library research, the study integrates historical-critical and linguistic-semiotic approaches through a systematic analytical procedure. The findings demonstrate that Arkoun broadens the horizon of Qur'anic interpretation by integrating historical inquiry, linguistic analysis, and critical reflection. Nevertheless, his interpretation relies more heavily on linguistic description than on a systematic semiotic procedure, resulting in methodological inconsistencies and insufficient support for several claims concerning interpretive plurality and the normative authority of the Qur'anic text. The study concludes that Arkoun's hermeneutics offers a valuable critical framework for contemporary Qur'anic studies, provided that its application is accompanied by explicit methodological procedures and normative safeguards to preserve analytical rigor without collapsing into interpretive relativism.

Abstract

This study examines mīzān, meaning balance, measure, justice, and equilibrium, in Surah al-Raḥmān 55:7–9 and explores its relevance to waste-management conditions in Kertajaya Village, Pebayuran Subdistrict, Bekasi Regency. The study employed a qualitative design combining library research and field research through an ecotheological approach. Textual analysis examined the interpretations of Ibn Kathir, al-Sa‘di, Hamka, and M. Quraish Shihab, while field data were collected through semi-structured interviews with eight key informants and observations of irrigation channels, residential drainage, and riverbank areas. The textual data were analyzed comparatively, and field data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings show that the four exegetes associate mīzān with justice, proportion, equilibrium, restraint, and the divinely established order of creation. Drawing on these themes, the study develops ecological carrying capacity, environmental justice, and ecological piety as analytical syntheses for interpreting local environmental conditions. Field findings indicate visible pressure on irrigation channels and residential drainage through waste accumulation, water-hyacinth growth, limited disposal facilities, inconsistent maintenance, and uneven participation in collective cleaning activities. Household practices, including waste burning, burial, and disposal near waterways, were shaped by constrained disposal options and the absence of a consistent village-level waste-management system. The study concludes that environmental problems in Kertajaya Village arise through the interaction of household practices, limited environmental services, weak maintenance arrangements, and insufficient local coordination. Qur’anic ecological ethics can support environmental responsibility when connected with practical institutions, accessible waste services, environmental education, and community participation. The proposed Village Ecotheology Forum is presented as an initial community-based option that requires further testing through participatory research.

Abstract

This article examines the theological and epistemological implications of adapting Law of Attraction (LoA) language within Islamic discourse on sustenance (rizq, divine provision). It focuses on Magnet Rezeki (Magnet of Sustenance) by Ustadz Nasrullah as a popular Islamic motivational text that connects sustenance with intention, gratitude, prayer, emotional discipline, and personal transformation. Using qualitative library research, the study combines thematic Qur’anic interpretation (tafsīr mawḍūʿī) with critical textual analysis of the book and relevant literature on LoA, Islamic theology, and popular spirituality. The analysis compares the two frameworks through three dimensions: the source of sustenance, the role of human agency, and the causal meaning assigned to spiritual and psychological practices. The findings indicate that Magnet Rezeki incorporates Islamic ethical concepts such as faith, supplication (duʿāʾ), gratitude (shukr), charitable giving (ṣadaqah), and effort, while also placing considerable emphasis on mental and spiritual self-management in the pursuit of sustenance. The book explicitly affirms Allah as the ultimate giver of provision and therefore cannot be equated straightforwardly with classical LoA. Nevertheless, theological ambiguity may arise when thoughts, emotions, affirmations, or spiritual practices appear to function as reliable mechanisms for producing material outcomes. The Qur’anic framework recognizes human effort, prayer, gratitude, charity, and piety as morally meaningful forms of obedience, while the realization, timing, and form of sustenance remain subject to Allah’s wisdom and decree. The article argues that contemporary motivational discourse may be accommodated within Islamic thought when it is understood as ethical and psychological encouragement rather than as an autonomous causal force that determines provision.

Abstract

This study investigates the epistemological structure and pedagogical challenges of tafsīr instruction at Dayah Istiqamatuddin Darul Mu’arrif, Aceh Besar. The research addresses the problem of epistemic limitation resulting from the exclusive reliance on Tafsīr al-Jalālayn and its commentary, Ḥāshiyah al-Ṣāwī, within the tafsīr curriculum of the dayah. This study specifically asks how the use of a single authoritative text influences students’ interpretive competence and the formation of contemporary mufassirīn in the context of modern Qur’anic studies. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews with seven purposively selected informants consisting of dayah leaders, teachers, and students. The findings reveal that traditional pedagogical methods such as talaqqī and tikrār strengthen sanad-based knowledge transmission and preserve traditional scholarly authority. However, the exclusive dependence on a single tafsīr text limits students’ comparative hermeneutical perspectives, restricts methodological exploration, and contributes to the restriction of interpretive agency. The study further identifies limited instructional time, restricted access to broader references, and the absence of independent instruction in ‘ulūm al-tafsīr as significant obstacles in developing critical interpretive competence. This study concludes that curriculum reconstruction through the integration of comparative tafsīr studies and broader access to scholarly resources is necessary to balance the preservation of traditional Islamic scholarship with the demands of contemporary analytical and contextual Qur’anic interpretation.
