Abstract

This research aims to examine the ethics of students (santri) at Al-Fath Student Islamic Boarding School from the perspective of Plato's ethics. Al-Fath Islamic Boarding School is located near the campus of the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) in Kediri, and it specifically admits female students, the majority of whom are IAIN Kediri students. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach involving a literature review and historical reflection. The study showed that the ethics or moral values observed in the students of Al-Fath Islamic Boarding School share similarities with Plato's ethical teachings. Plato's ethical philosophy emphasizes virtues as its core doctrine, with a focus on how individuals can attain a higher level of virtue through the cultivation of the soul and an understanding of the essence of the world, which is largely a shadow of the world of ideas. The foundation of Plato's ethics is his love for the Supreme Good, which, in the context of this boarding school, refers to God as the ultimate reality. Al-Fath Student Islamic Boarding School has a vision that encompasses morality, knowledge, and active participation in society, with morality or ethics as the primary goal of education, supported by knowledge and an active role in society. Allah, as the God of the universe, serves as the foundation and ultimate goal in achieving happiness through ethical conduct, aligning with Plato's ethical teachings that lead to the Supreme Good.AbstrakArtikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji etika santri di Pesantren Pelajar Al-Fath dengan perspektif etika Plato.

Kajian ini  menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif model studi literatur dan refleksi historis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa etika atau akhlak yang diamati pada santri Pesantren Pelajar Al-Fath memiliki kesamaan dengan ajaran etika Plato.

Landasan etika Plato adalah cinta kepada Sang Baik, yang dalam konteks pesantren ini, merujuk kepada Tuhan sebagai realitas tertinggi. Pesantren Pelajar Al-Fath memiliki visi yang mencakup berakhlak, berilmu, dan berperan, dengan akhlak atau etika sebagai tujuan utama dalam pendidikan, didukung oleh pengetahuan dan peran aktif dalam masyarakat.

Abstract

The protracted Arab-Israeli conflict, characterized by socio-political dynamics, has endured for over fifty years, pitting the Palestinian and Israeli factions against each other. The issue in question possesses historical origins, since it can be traced back to the relationship between two brothers, Ishmael and Isaac, who share a common paternal lineage. The figure of the son of Abraham being sacrificed, as interpreted in Genesis 22 and QS. Al-Saffat 99-113, is a subject of debate among both Jews and Muslims. This article aims to explore the interpretation of Genesis 22 and QS. Al-Saffat 99-113 by employing anthropocentric and theocentric perspectives. The objective of this study is to examine the interpretations of Genesis: 22 as the Jewish Ideological Basis in relation to Jerusalem, and QS. Al-Saffat: 99-113 as the Islamic Theological Base in connection to the legacy of Abraham's milah, which has had an impact on the socio-political landscape leading to the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East. The biblical and Qur'anic narratives recount the tale of Abraham's progeny, who were destined for sacrifice. The anthropocentric reading of these words serves as the historical foundation for the divide of the land of the covenant, which was inherited by Ishmael, the progenitor of the Arab people, and Isaac, the progenitor of the Israelites. This study exclusively relies on library sources, encompassing interpretative literature, Old Testament texts, books, journals, notes, and reports from prior research endeavors. Moreover, this study is classified as qualitative as it yields descriptive data.  The findings of this study demonstrate that the religious interpretation of the Scriptures has exerted a significant impact on cultural and political movements within the Arab-Israeli region. This influence encompasses both the ramifications of territorial conflicts and the effects of peace treaties, such as the Abraham Accord.AbstrakKonflik sosio-politis Arab-Israel khususnya Palestina versus Israel telah terjadi lebih dari setengah abad. Perseteruan ini memiliki akar historis sejak dari dua saudara terasing yang memiliki ayah yang sama, Ismael dan Ishak. Keduanya diperdebatkan oleh Yahudi dan Muslim sebagai sosok anak Ibrahim yang hendak dikurbankan dalam penafsiran Genesis : 22 dan QS. Al-Saffat : 99-113. Artikel ini akan membahas tentang penafsiran Genesis : 22 dan QS. Al-Saffat : 99-113 tersebut melalui pendekatan antroposentrisme dan teosentrisme. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis proyeksi penafsiran atas Genesis : 22 sebagai basis Ideologis Yahudi terhadap Jerussalem dan QS. Al-Saffat : 99-113 sebagai basis teologis Islam terhadap warisan millah Ibrahim yang berpengaruh dalam kehidupan sosio-politis hingga memunculkan konflik Arab-Israel di Timur Tengah. Unit analisa dalam penelitian ini adalah ayat-ayat Alkitab dan Al-Qur’an tentang kisah anak-anak Ibrahim yang hendak dikurbankan. Interpretasi antroposentris terhadap ayat-ayat tersebut menjadi akar historis pembagian tanah perjanjian yang diwariskan kepada Ismael —sebagai bapak bangsa Arab— dan Ishak—sebagai bapak bangsa Isreal—. Penelitian ini sepenuhnya merupakan penelitian pustaka yang menggunakan sumber kepustakaan baik berupa kitab tafsir, teks-teks Perjanjian Lama, buku, artikel, catatan, maupun laporan karya terdahulu. Di samping itu, penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif karena menghasilkan data deskriptif.  Hasil pembahasan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa interpretasi kitab suci sebagai basis ideologi agama berpengaruh pada gerakan budaya dan politik secara umum, khususnya di kawasan Arab-Israel, baik pengaruh berupa konflik perebutan wilayah maupun pengaruh berupa perjanjian perdamaian seperti Abraham Accord.

Abstract

The important principles in Islam that emphasize simplicity, balance, tolerance, justice, and respect for differences reflect the profound teachings of Islam and play a key role in maintaining social harmony in diverse societies. Overall, religious moderation in Islam is an approach centered on values that promote tolerance, peace, and appreciation of differences. This is a relevant and essential principle in an increasingly interconnected and diverse world, where a deep understanding of Islamic teachings can help resolve conflicts and promote harmony among different religious communities. The research method used in this study is a literature review (library research), with a research approach based on the analysis and synthesis of literature relevant to the specific research topic. The literature review method can be employed to gather and analyze relevant text sources, including books, academic papers, journals, and other sources discussing diversity, humanity, and moderation in the context of Islam. The results of this research show that religious moderation provides a comprehensive overview of the importance of religious moderation in Islam and how values such as tolerance, national commitment, anti-violence, respect for tradition, welfare, justice, balance, humanity, and diversity are applied in the Islamic context. In the modern era, where communities are increasingly interconnected and global challenges such as extremism and radicalization arise, understanding and practicing religious moderation is crucial to promoting peace, harmony, and cooperation among humanity.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the application of liberation theology in Indonesian Islam, focusing on the efforts of Muhammad Ainun Nadjib (Cak Nun) and the Maiyah Community Assembly, analyzed through Ali Shari’ati's concept of rausyanfikr. The study aims to explore how Cak Nun contextualizes Islam to address contemporary issues of injustice, oppression, and social alienation. Utilizing qualitative library research methods, it investigates various literary sources to evaluate the role of Islamic teachings in cultural and social emancipation. Findings indicate that Cak Nun and the Maiyah Community Assembly have played crucial roles in heightening community awareness about prevalent oppression, employing the Quran and Islamic thought as tools for liberation. The study concludes that Islam, as interpreted by Cak Nun, serves as an effective means for societal change, promoting a comprehensive application of Islamic teachings to address modern societal challenges. This research holds significant implications for scholars and practitioners interested in the intersections of religion and social transformation.

Abstract

In the modern era, homilies do not only convey religious doctrine but also address contemporary challenges in religious life. This study aims to analyse the impact of using illustrations—stories, wise sayings, and personal experiences—in homilies on the understanding and reception of God’s Word by the congregation. Descriptive qualitative research was conducted at St. Thomas the Apostle Onan Rihit Station, utilizing in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis to collect data. Findings indicate that the use of illustrations in homilies not only deepens the understanding of the Gospel teachings but also enhances the congregation's engagement with the community and the application of these teachings in daily life. Homilies are effective in enhancing resonance and attention from the congregation, demanding more empathetic and creative approaches in delivery. The results of this study underscore the importance of adaptation and innovation in homiletic practices to respond to contemporary religious life dynamics

Abstract

The discourse surrounding the issue of classical Islamic theology that has developed so far is: First, that the emergence of schools in Islamic theology was predominantly due to political factors, even though if explored more deeply it turns out that differences in methods of thinking were the main factor; Second, there is an assumption that mutaqaddimin scholars understand theological verses in the Koran textually and do not understand them rationally, even though in reality many Muslim theologians interpret these theological verses rationally and freely. Based on these two issues, this article will reveal the dynamics of Islamic theological thinking of Islamic scholars in the classical period. The aim is to find the significance of the influence of the thinking activities of Muslim theologians during the classical period on the growth and development of Islamic theological thought and the birth of firqahs in Islamic theology during that period.

Abstract

This article discusses the potential of women in political contestation from the perspective of Ali Abdur Raziq, a leading Islamic thinker and reformer. The growth of the population, which is dominated by women, makes them a force in their own right. However, awareness of women's contributions to politics is still minimal. This view is supported by historical facts which show men as characters who dominate all aspects of life, so that narrating women and politics in the same conversation is almost considered something taboo. The purpose of writing this article is to re-present women as figures who stand the same as men, having the same opportunities in every matter. By using literature research, this article hypothesizes that women, while still carrying their religious awareness, have the potential to help change the country and society's views through political aspects
