Tawazun as a Qur’anic Ethical Framework for the Limits of Kindness: A Tahlili Reading of QS. Al-Qashash [28]: 77 and People Pleasing Setiawan, Deni; Halimatussa’diyah, Halimatussa’diyah; Hidayatullah, Ahmad Syarif

Abstract

This study examines QS. al-Qashash [28]: 77 to formulate tawāzun as a Qur’anic ethical framework for evaluating the limits of kindness in contemporary social relations. It addresses two questions: how does the verse construct an ethical framework of balance, and how can this framework be used to understand people pleasing? This qualitative library research employs a tahlili approach through linguistic analysis, examination of the narrative context of Qarun, and synthesis of classical and contemporary Qur’anic interpretations. The analysis shows that QS. al-Qashash [28]: 77 integrates four ethical elements: orientation toward the hereafter, recognition of one’s legitimate share in worldly life, the obligation of iḥsān, and the prohibition of fasād. Although the term tawāzun does not appear explicitly in the verse, it can be inferred as a principle of proportionate ethical ordering among spiritual purpose, personal needs, social responsibility, and moral restraint. The study argues that the verse does not directly address people pleasing or provide a psychological diagnosis. Its relevance lies in ethical contextualization. This framework distinguishes responsible kindness from conduct persistently driven by fear of rejection, dependence on external approval, or the neglect of legitimate personal responsibilities.
From Mystical Exegesis to Mental Well-Being: Rūzbihān al-Baqlī’s Theory of Dhikr in Light of Q. 2:152 and Its Resonance in the Lived Experiences of Acehnese Dayah Scholars Syamaun, T. Ibrahim; Said, Hasani Ahmad; F. Saenong, Faried

Abstract

Although numerous studies have associated dhikr with psychological well-being, most explain its benefits either through psychological coping models or normative theological perspectives, leaving the hermeneutical foundations of classical Sufi exegesis largely unexplored. This study asks how Rūzbihān al-Baqlī conceptualizes dhikr in his interpretation of Q. 2:152 and whether this hermeneutical framework resonates with the lived experiences of Acehnese dayah scholars. Employing a qualitative design, the study combines textual hermeneutics of ʿArāʾis al-Bayān fī Ḥaqāʾiq al-Qurʾān with phenomenological inquiry based on semi-structured interviews analyzed within the perspective of lived religion. The findings indicate that Rūzbihān presents dhikr as a transformative movement from verbal remembrance toward sustained awareness of divine presence, while participants consistently describe dhikr as fostering emotional stability, resilience, gratitude, and inner tranquility through continuous consciousness of God. Rather than establishing direct empirical confirmation of every mystical stage proposed by Rūzbihān, the interview data demonstrate a strong conceptual resonance between his hermeneutical model and contemporary religious experience. The study concludes that psychological well-being is best understood as an emergent consequence of spiritual transformation, offering a Qur'anically grounded model that connects classical Sufi exegesis, lived religion, and contemporary discussions of mental well-being.

Abstract

This study examines how Qur’an recitation fosters inner peace among female students at Dayah Athiyah Banda Aceh. Despite growing evidence on the psychological benefits of Qur’anic practices, limited research has explored how daily recitation operates as a structured psycho-spiritual process within Islamic boarding schools, especially from the perspective of female students. Addressing this gap, the study employed a qualitative case study involving six students and one teacher, using in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, with data analysed through Braun and Clarke’s reflexive thematic analysis. Three analytical themes were identified: emotional regulation through rhythmic recitation, which captures how tilawah reduces anxiety and stabilizes affect; cognitive centering for learning readiness, which reflects improvements in focus, mental clarity, and memorization preparedness; and spiritual anchoring and transcendental meaning-making, which highlights students’ experiences of divine connection, gratitude, and strengthened faith. Collectively, these themes show that Qur’an recitation functions as an integrated form of psycho-spiritual regulation shaped by the religious environment of the pesantren. The study contributes to existing literature by demonstrating how daily tilawah can serve as a structured model of Tilawah-Based Spiritual Therapy that supports emotional, cognitive, and spiritual well-being among female students.

Abstract

Surah Al-Mulk articulates divine sovereignty, accountability, and inzār through a discourse that relies on patterned semantic contrast. This study examines how thibāq and muqābalah function stylistically in the surah to organize rhetorical meaning and reinforce theological emphasis. The analysis is grounded in classical balāghah, with particular attention to al-Sakkākī’s principle of muṭābaqat al-kalām li-muqtaḍā al-ḥāl in order to explain the fit between linguistic form and communicative context. Using qualitative textual research, the study identifies contrastive indicators through close reading and applies classical criteria to select relevant verses. The analysis focuses on thibāq in Q. 2, 13, 19, 22, and 30, and on muqābalah in Q. 6–9. Findings show that thibāq operates through direct oppositional pairings and contextual contrasts that sharpen moral differentiation and intensify theological focus at the level of individual verses. In Q. 6–9, muqābalah is realized mainly as muqābalah maʿnawiyyah, where punishment and denial are foregrounded while counter-meanings are prompted through semantic absence, fitting the inzār setting. The study argues that thibāq and muqābalah form a connected stylistic system that supports the surah’s persuasive direction through contrast, concision, and guided inference.
Reconstructing the Eco-Pedagogical Paradigm in Islamic Education through Tafsir Tarbawi of Surah al-Baqarah (2):30 Susetyo, Marwal Blantara; Surahman, Cucu; Sumarna, Elan; Husaeni, Muhammad Fahri Ali; Dzakiya, Mifta Ghina

Abstract

This study reconstructs an eco-pedagogical paradigm in Islamic Religious Education by analysing the tafsīr tarbawī interpretation of Surah al-Baqarah (2):30. Existing discussions on Islamic environmental ethics often remain normative and philosophical, with limited attention to how Qur’anic ecological values can be operationalised into curriculum components and measurable learning practices. Using qualitative library research, this article compares five exegetical works that represent diverse styles and periods, namely Ibn Kathīr, al-Qurṭubī, al-Marāghī, al-Mīzān, and al-Miṣbāḥ. Data were analysed through content analysis by identifying key concepts in the verse, mapping convergences and variations across interpretations, and translating the results into curriculum elements, including learning objectives, materials, and assessment. The findings show a shift in the meaning of khalīfah from political legitimacy in classical readings to a broader cosmic mandate of environmental stewardship in contemporary interpretations. The angels’ concern about fasād and bloodshed functions as a pedagogical warning that supports the internalisation of three curricular pillars: tawḥīd, amānah, and mīzān. Based on these pillars, the article proposes a curriculum integration matrix across educational levels and an evaluation rubric for ecological piety that covers cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains.

Abstract

This article examines how Madurese local wisdom is represented in Mudhar Tamim’s Tafsir Qur’anul-Karim Nurul-Huda. Scholarship on Madurese tafsir has largely centered on interpretive method, the history of writing, and networks of exegetes, while the representational work of local cultural references has received less attention. Using qualitative library research, this study analyzes the tafsir as the primary source and draws on relevant secondary literature. Stuart Hall’s theory of representation is operationalized through reflective, intentional, and constructionist readings to examine how meaning is produced through language, symbols, and social context. The analysis shows that local wisdom in Nurul Huda appears in tangible and intangible forms. Tangible references draw on material culture and built space, such as totop bhireng (a sheath for a Madurese sickle-like weapon) and tabing (a woven bamboo wall panel). Intangible references include proverbs, value terms such as andap asor (humility and respectful conduct), and socially salient practices and authority relations, including carok (a ritualized honor duel), critiques of taqlid (uncritical imitation), and the figure of lora (often understood locally as the son of a kyai (a religious leader)). Across the tafsir, these local elements function as interpretive resources that make Qur’anic guidance socially legible and ethically persuasive for Madurese readers. The study contributes to discussions of Tafsir Nusantara by showing how representational analysis clarifies the role of local cultural codes in vernacular Qur’anic interpretation.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in Qur’anic learning through tools that search, translate, recommend, and generate explanatory outputs. While these technologies expand access to Qur’anic resources, they also raise questions about interpretive authority when religious meanings are mediated by automated systems. This study examines how boundaries for AI use are articulated in Qur’anic learning and interpretation in Aceh. Using a qualitative design, the research draws on semi-structured interviews with ulama affiliated with dayah (traditional Islamic boarding schools in Aceh). The data were analysed thematically to trace how authority was framed, where limits of use were drawn, and what educational risks were anticipated. The findings show that AI is generally regarded as mubaḥ for limited technical purposes, accompanied by iḥtiyat to safeguard aqidah and reduce uncritical reliance on machine-generated outputs. Interpretive credibility is understood to remain anchored in teacher-guided transmission through talaqqi and sanad, alongside the cultivation of adab and dirayah. AI is restricted from activities that resemble tafsir, particularly where contextual reasoning (including asbab al-nuzul), methodological discipline, and sustained engagement with the classical turath are required. Although AI offers practical benefits for teachers in preparation and administration, it is also associated with concerns about student dependency, weakened study discipline, and reduced engagement with demanding texts. The study shows how epistemic norms in ulum al-Qur'an are operationalised as practical boundaries that conditionally accommodate AI in Qur’anic learning while protecting interpretive authority in dayah contexts in Aceh.

Abstract

Environmental degradation and the stagnation of farmer welfare in rural Indonesia demand a reorientation of the agricultural management paradigm toward one that is not merely technocratic but also ethical-spiritual. This study examines the concept of Khilāfah fī al-Arḍ as an ontological and axiological foundation for sustainable agricultural development through a thematic exegetical study of QS. Al-Baqarah: 30 and QS. Al-An‘ām: 141. Unlike previous studies that predominantly focus on normative environmental ethics, this research specifically synthesizes exegetical analysis into an ethical-operational framework for agronomy. Employing a qualitative-analytical method, this research integrates classical and contemporary exegetical traditions with an analysis of agronomic and socio-economic data regarding the national agrarian crisis of 2024. The findings demonstrate that QS. Al-Baqarah: 30 defines Khilāfah not as exploitative domination but as a mandate of Imārat al-Arḍ (earth stewardship) which requires competence in knowledge (‘ilm) and the prevention of ecological corruption (fasād). Meanwhile, QS. Al-An‘ām: 141 provides guiding principles for agricultural management through biological diversification (polyculture), distributive justice (ḥaqqahu), and input efficiency (lā tusrifū). The synthesis of these two verses generates an “Agricultural Ecotheology” paradigm that positions the farmer as a guardian of ecosystem balance (mīzān) and an agent of social justice. This framework is highly relevant for addressing soil fatigue caused by excessive agrochemicals and structural poverty in rural areas.
