Abstract

This article examines the Qur’an as a living text through reception hermeneutics, with attention to transformations in Qur’anic reception from Muslim traditions to digital environments. It treats the Qur’an as a source of meaning enacted through readers’ engagements, ritual practices, cultural expressions, social ethics, and intellectual production. The article employs qualitative library research, drawing on scholarship on living Qur’an, reception theory, Qur’anic hermeneutics, and digital religion. The analysis identifies five interconnected forms of Qur’anic reception in Muslim traditions: textual, ritual, cultural-aesthetic, social, and intellectual. Digital media extend these forms through Qur’an applications, social media, online learning, visual content, and interactive platforms. This shift reshapes relations among text, readers, media, and religious authority by expanding access and participation while exposing Qur’anic messages to decontextualization, fragmented authority, and visibility-driven circulation. Reception hermeneutics provides a conceptual framework for examining how Qur’anic meaning is received, enacted, circulated, and negotiated in contemporary Muslim societies. The analysis also indicates the need for attention to source integrity, interpretive validity, and digital religious literacy in contemporary Qur’anic studies.

Abstract

This article develops a conceptual framework for examining intellectual rigidity in selected strands of Islamic scholarship through Imre Lakatos’s Research Programme framework. It addresses a recurring tendency to treat historically developed products of ijtihad, including legal methodologies, theological formulations, exegetical approaches, and historiographical narratives, as though they possessed the same non-revisable status as revelation. The article draws on Lakatos’s writings, works by M. Amin Abdullah, Fazlur Rahman, Nasr Hamid Abu Zaid, and Mohammed Arkoun, as well as relevant scholarship on Islamic epistemology, usul al-fiqh, Qur’anic interpretation, and kalam. Its analysis focuses on epistemological propositions concerning the relationship between theological commitments and historically situated intellectual formulations. Lakatos’s framework is employed as an analytical adaptation, not as a direct equivalence between revelation and scientific theory. Within this framework, tawhid, the divine origin of revelation, and fundamental ethical commitments function as the limited hard core, whereas historically developed formulations in fiqh, kalam, Qur’anic interpretation, and religious historiography are examined as elements of a revisable protective belt. The article argues that intellectual rigidity may emerge when historically contingent formulations are treated as immune from critical reassessment. It proposes a Lakatosian model consisting of a limited hard core, an identifiable protective belt, and a positive heuristic guided by historical sensitivity, interdisciplinary engagement, and maqasid al-shariah. The model is intended as a conceptual instrument for assessing whether inherited formulations remain responsive to changing intellectual and social conditions.

Abstract

Social media forms part of young adults’ everyday communication, work, learning, and social relationships. High levels of use, however, do not necessarily indicate problematic digital behaviour. This study examined the relationships among taqwa, self-regulation, and social media intensity among Muslim young adults, with particular attention to the indirect association of self-regulation between taqwa and social media intensity. A cross-sectional correlational design was employed. Data were collected through an online questionnaire from 200 Muslim participants aged 18–35 years who actively used social media. The measures assessed taqwa, self-regulation, and social media intensity. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, regression analysis, and PROCESS Macro Model 4 with 5,000 bootstrap resamples. Taqwa was positively associated with self-regulation (r = .517, p < .001). Neither taqwa nor self-regulation was significantly associated with social media intensity. The direct association between taqwa and social media intensity was not significant, and the indirect effect through self-regulation was also non-significant because the 95% bootstrap confidence interval included zero. The proposed mediation model was therefore not supported. The results suggest that taqwa is more closely associated with internal self-regulatory capacity than with the quantity of social media engagement. Social media intensity should be distinguished from problematic social media use because frequency, duration, and involvement may reflect communication, work, education, social relationships, entertainment, or religious activities. Research on Muslim digital behaviour should therefore assess not only how often individuals use social media, but also the purposes, control, content, and consequences of that use.

Abstract

This article examines the relevance of Karl Popper’s critical rationalism and his conception of the open society for understanding the epistemic and political conditions of the post-truth era. Rather than treating falsificationism as a procedure for verifying every public claim, the article interprets Popper’s philosophy as an ethic of fallibilism, public criticism, and institutional correction. The study employs qualitative library research through a critical reading of Popper’s major works, supported by contemporary scholarship on post-truth, misinformation, digital polarization, and public reason. The analysis argues that post-truth conditions are sustained not only by the circulation of false information but also by weakened norms of evidence, declining trust in institutions, and the insulation of political identities from criticism. Popper’s falsifiability criterion is relevant primarily as a model of critical testing within scientific inquiry, while critical rationalism offers a broader orientation for evaluating public claims provisionally and revisably. The concept of the open society complements this orientation by emphasizing institutions that protect dissent, transparency, error correction, and nonviolent political change. The article concludes that a Popperian response to post-truth should not be understood as a simple fact-checking method, but as a framework for strengthening public criticism, epistemic humility, and institutional accountability.

Abstract

The period facemask, commonly described as the application of menstrual blood to the face for cosmetic purposes, has gained visibility through digital beauty culture and social media circulation. This article examines the practice through Islamic bioethics and maqasid al-shari’ah, with particular attention to ḥifẓ al-nafs, ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ, maṣlaḥah, and mafsadah. The study used qualitative normative library research based on selected Qur’anic verses, scholarship on Islamic bioethics and maqāṣid al-shari’ah, medical literature on menstruation and blood-derived aesthetic procedures, and scholarship on digital beauty culture. The findings indicate that available literature does not establish the safety or cosmetic efficacy of applying untreated menstrual blood directly to facial skin. The practice also differs substantially from platelet-rich plasma treatment, which involves clinical preparation, professional supervision, and procedural standards. The analysis further indicates that the period facemask raises ethical concerns related to bodily well-being, dignity, privacy, and the circulation of intimate biological material as digital content. The article does not issue a definitive legal ruling or claim that the practice produces clinical harm in every case. It argues that ethical restraint is warranted because the claimed cosmetic benefits remain insufficiently supported, while relevant concerns related to safety and dignity remain unresolved.
From Secularization to the Islamization of Science: Al-Attas’s Epistemological Critique of Western Modernity and Its Relevance to Islamic Education Firdausi, Achmad; Atiqullah, Atiqullah; Siswanto, Siswanto; Bashori, Abdul Hamid; Royhan, Faidl

Abstract

Western modernity has shaped influential conceptions of knowledge through rationalism, empiricism, positivism, and materialism, often separating scientific inquiry from revelation, metaphysics, moral responsibility, and humanity’s transcendent purpose. This article examines Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas’s epistemological critique of Western modernity and analyzes the Islamization of science as a response to the secularization of knowledge. The study employed qualitative library research with a philosophical-epistemological approach. Its primary sources were al-Attas’s major works, supported by scholarly literature on Islamic epistemology, worldview, adab, ta’dib, Islamic education, and the Islamization of knowledge. The analysis shows that al-Attas does not reject reason, empirical inquiry, or scientific achievement as such. His critique is directed at the secular worldview that detaches knowledge from revelation, moral orientation, and the recognition of God. Within this framework, the Islamization of science entails the critical examination of secular assumptions and the reconstruction of knowledge within tawhid, revelation, guided reason, and adab. The article further argues that al-Attas’s thought offers an epistemological–adab framework for reflecting on contemporary Islamic education. This framework does not establish that secularization directly causes bullying, violence, harassment, or abuse of authority, as these problems involve complex psychological, social, legal, institutional, economic, and digital factors. Rather, it provides a philosophical basis for evaluating whether education sustains the relationship between knowledge, moral formation, institutional responsibility, and the protection of human dignity. The article proposes that Islamic educational reform should reaffirm the formation of civilized human beings, cultivate institutional cultures of adab, and strengthen accountable educational authority.

Abstract

This study examines how SANTRI, an acronym for sabar ngantri, is enacted as a locally grounded life philosophy at Pondok Pesantren Baitul Makmur in Metro, Lampung, within the Generation Alpha context. The study addresses recurring tensions in crowded routines, including line cutting, pushing, verbal disputes, and difficulty sustaining discipline during shared activities. A qualitative field-based study with a descriptive orientation was conducted. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using an interpretive approach with thematic coding and triangulation across sources. The main informant was an ustazdah responsible for supervising daily routines, complemented by student perspectives representing varied experiences in the boarding environment. The findings indicate that SANTRI is reinforced as an ethical discipline across core routines such as submitting Qur’anic recitations and classical text readings, performing ablution, taking meals, bathing, and practicing respect rituals such as sungkem and sowan to the kiai. In this setting, SANTRI supports emotional regulation and fairness by translating moral instruction into observable turn-taking behavior reinforced by caregivers and peers. The study presents SANTRI as a locally grounded model of character education that helps reduce everyday conflict while supporting communal stability in a dense pesantren environment shaped by the fast-paced habits associated with digitally socialized youth.

Abstract

This article examines the humanitarian thought of Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) and Martin Luther King Jr. through a comparative analysis grounded in religious ethics, peacebuilding, and social justice. Both figures are widely recognized as religious leaders who translated faith-based commitments into concrete responses to injustice, yet they operated within distinct sociopolitical contexts and adopted different strategic approaches. This study employs qualitative library research and comparative content analysis to examine three analytical dimensions: theological foundations, core humanitarian principles, and the contexts in which those principles were implemented. The findings show that Gus Dur and King share a fundamental ethical convergence in treating religion as a public moral resource for defending human dignity, equality, and justice, as well as in rejecting violence as a legitimate means of social change. Gus Dur articulated humanitarian commitments through Islamic concepts such as rahmatan lil ‘alamin and al-maqasid al-shari‘ah, emphasizing pluralism, dialogue, and institutional reform within a multi-religious society. King grounded his humanitarian vision in Christian theology, particularly Imago Dei and agape, and advanced disciplined nonviolent action as a moral and strategic response to racial segregation and structural injustice. The analysis also reveals a significant divergence in operational strategy. Gus Dur primarily pursued reform through engagement with political and religious institutions, while King mobilized mass participation and moral pressure from outside the state. Read together, their approaches offer a complementary framework for contemporary humanitarian practice that links civic resistance with institutional responsibility. The study contributes to scholarship on religion-based peacebuilding by demonstrating how shared ethical commitments can generate different strategies shaped by political opportunity, social structure, and conflict configuration.

Abstract

This study examines the epistemological reconstruction of maqashid al-sharī‘ah as a contemporary methodological framework for Islamic legal derivation in response to the increasing complexity of modern socio-legal realities. While classical Islamic jurisprudence traditionally relied on scriptural texts (naṣṣ) and analogical reasoning (qiyās), the rapid transformation of social, political, economic, and technological structures necessitates a more adaptive and purposive approach to legal reasoning. Through qualitative library research supported by normative and conceptual analysis, this study explores the historical evolution of maqashid al-sharī‘ah, beginning with its classical formulation by figures such as al-Juwaynī, al-Ghazālī, and al-Shāṭibī, and its subsequent reformulation by contemporary scholars including Jasser Auda, Ibn Bayyah, and Yusuf al-Qarḍāwī. The findings reveal a paradigmatic shift from an essentialist and text-oriented interpretation of maqashid toward a contextual, systemic, and value-oriented framework that integrates inductive–deductive reasoning, social analysis, and public welfare considerations. This contemporary maqashid paradigm not only expands the al-kulliyyāt al-khamsah but also incorporates broader dimensions such as human rights, gender justice, environmental sustainability, and good governance. As a methodological tool, contemporary maqashid strengthens the relevance of Islamic law in addressing modern legal challenges by harmonizing the relationship between text, context, and legal purpose. The study concludes that reconstructing maqashid into a dynamic legal methodology provides an effective means to bridge the tension between immutable scriptural principles and evolving human realities, thereby enabling Islamic law to function as an ethical, justice-oriented, and welfare-driven system aligned with the universal spirit of a mercy for all creation (raḥmatan lil ‘ālamīn).

Abstract

Curriculum integration in Indonesian madrasahs has been promoted as a strategic policy to align Islamic education with the national education system in the post-Reform era. While this integration aims to strengthen institutional legitimacy and improve competitiveness, it also raises critical questions regarding the epistemological orientation and identity of madrasahs. This study examines curriculum integration in Indonesian madrasahs as an epistemological issue rather than merely a technical or administrative arrangement. Employing a qualitative library research design with a philosophical–analytical approach, this study analyzes national education policy documents—particularly Law Number 20 of 2003 and the Decree of the Minister of Religious Affairs (KMA) Number 183 of 2019—alongside relevant scholarly literature on Islamic education reform. The findings indicate that the frequently cited 70:30 proportion between general and religious subjects does not represent an explicit regulatory mandate, but rather functions as an analytical abstraction derived from the structural organization of the madrasah curriculum. Interpreted through Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas’s framework of the de-secularization (Islamization) of knowledge, the study reveals an epistemological tension in which general sciences tend to assume a dominant structural position, potentially positioning religious knowledge as supplementary. This condition reflects an identity dilemma shaped by the interaction between Islamic worldview–based education and policy-driven standardization. The study concludes that sustainable curriculum integration in madrasahs requires an epistemological foundation rooted in tawhid and adab to support holistic human development and prevent epistemological fragmentation.
