Abstract

This article examines how Sunni historiography is taught through the sīrah nabawiyah curriculum at Ma’had Aly Sa’iidusshiddiqiyah Jakarta, a pesantren-based higher education institution specializing in Prophetic biography. Drawing on Paul Ricoeur’s concept of historiography as a “textual operation,” the study analyzes syllabi and seven prescribed textbooks (2023–2027) as institutional instruments that transmit and filter Sunni collective memory. Data were collected through textual analysis, short semi-structured interviews with curriculum implementers, thematic coding, and focused takhrīj of selected reports. The findings show that 62 of 160 credits (≈39%) are devoted to sīrah studies, indicating the centrality of Prophetic history in shaping Sunni identity. The curriculum favors a linear historical narrative, a moral-theological framework, and reverence for authoritative Sunni scholars and transmitters. A notable example is the treatment of Razīyyat Yawm al-Khamīs, a significant historical report that appears in only one of the seven prescribed textbooks despite its prominence in classical sources. This suggests institutional selectivity regarding reports sensitive to Sunni–Shiʿi historiographical debates. The study argues that contemporary pesantren higher education sustains Sunni historical narratives primarily through curricular control over what is taught and reproduced as orthodox knowledge. It concludes by advocating greater curricular diversity through new theoretical frameworks and critical methodologies.

Abstract

Friday sermons play a strategic role in shaping public religious understanding among Muslim communities. This study analyzes the collaborative governance of Friday sermons as an instrument for strengthening religious moderation in two urban mosques in Surabaya, namely Masjid Al-Falah and Masjid Ar-Rahmah. Using a qualitative comparative case study, data were collected through in-depth interviews with mosque administrators, media managers, and congregants, supported by documentation of mosque digital media practices. The data were analyzed through condensation, display, coding, thematic categorization, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal four interconnected dimensions of sermon governance: structural, cultural, substantive, and digital collaboration. These dimensions appear in preacher selection, theme confirmation, sensitivity to congregational characteristics, moderation of sermon content, digital production, and mitigation of sensitive issues. The study concludes that religious moderation in Friday sermons is achieved through collaborative mosque governance that involves administrators, preachers, media teams, and congregants.

Abstract

In the context of contemporary Muslim society, mosques can no longer be understood merely as places of worship, but also as socio-religious institutions with the potential to play a role in local economic development. This article aims to analyze the role of the Nurul Jannah Petrokimia Gresik Mosque as an actor in local economic development and to explain the contribution of mosque-based economic programs to strengthening the livelihoods of the surrounding community. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with mosque administrators and supported MSME operators, observations, and documentation, and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the Nurul Jannah Mosque plays an active role in transforming informal economic activities into a more structured business ecosystem through the provision of business spaces, the mobilization of institutional resources, facility support, promotion, and relatively organized program management. This program is built on a hybrid resource configuration—a combination of corporate assets, community contributions, and institutional management by the mosque. Research findings also indicate that the program’s contribution to community livelihoods is tangible, though not uniform. For some business owners, this program expands market access, increases revenue, and supports business expansion; however, for others, the primary benefits are more evident in the stability of business operations, legal compliance, convenience, and the sustainability of economic activities. This article emphasizes that mosques can function as intermediary institutions that connect religious values, local resources, and community economic needs within a framework of community development that is more organized, adaptive, and sustainable

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the collaborative Islamic education learning model based on local culture in strengthening the social character of students in Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 2 Gorontalo Regency. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that collaborative learning based on local culture is applied through group discussions, social projects, and reflection on Islamic values that are integrated with the local culture of Gorontalo, especially the value of huyula which emphasizes cooperation, empathy, and responsibility. This model contributes to increasing student learning participation while strengthening social character, such as tolerance, solidarity, and social concern. The strengthening is supported by the culture of mutual cooperation and madrasah leadership in creating a conducive learning environment. This study confirms that the collaborative Islamic Education learning model based on local culture is effective in integrating cognitive, affective, social, and spiritual aspects to shape the social character of students in madrasah.

Abstract

This paper revisits the hadith of the wife prostrating herself to her husband in the light of Contemporary Islamic Education and Muslim family culture. This hadith is often cited in marriage sermons, family religious gatherings, and premarital guidance, but is often taken literally, which can reinforce unequal marital relations. This study uses qualitative library research, including takhrij al-hadith, i’tibar al-sanad, criticism of the sanad, criticism of the matan, and contextual analysis. The results indicate that the hadith reported by al-Tirmidhi is hasan li dhatihi: its chain is connected, most of its narrators are trustworthy, and the weakness of Muhammad ibn ‘Amr is supported by other routes. The Matan analysis shows that the wording is hypothetical and not a literal command to the wives to prostrate, but an affirmation that prostration is only for Allah. This study emphasizes the significance of hadith literacy as a basis for establishing a Muslim family on the principles of tawhid, mutual responsibility, mutual respect, and justice in the discourse and practice of Islamic education today.

Abstract

The study investigates the egalitarian-transformative communication of mosque managers across varied metropolitan contexts to sustain congregational unity. The study is prompted by disputes among congregations from different Islamic traditions, especially the Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah, and Salafi organizations, in which differences in ritual preferences may underpin opposing claims to mosque identity. Data was collected through a qualitative case study approach, employing in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The results show that harmony is not maintained through standardized religious practices, but through recognition of differences, creation of dialogical spaces, equitable distribution of religious roles, and informal daily communication. Mosque leadership is not just an administrative authority but also a cultural mediator, negotiating symbols, mitigating potential disputes, and fostering congregational interaction. Egalitarian-transformative communication is presented as a methodology for managing intra-Muslim difference and improving social cohesion in metropolitan mosque communities.

Abstract

Muslim female adolescents’ clothing choices are increasingly shaped by social media and global culture, creating a gap between religious teachings and everyday dress practices. This study examines the value orientations underlying Muslim female adolescents’Muslim female adolescents’ clothing choices and the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in addressing this gap. Using a qualitative approach in Silo Lama Village, data were gathered from fifteen Muslim female adolescents through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal three dominant value orientations: social-aesthetic, social-conformity, and religious-obedience. For most participants, dress functions as a symbol of identity rather than a full internalization of Islamic values, influenced by social media, peer acceptance, and weak religious internalization. The study recommends strengthening Islamic Religious Education through integrative and contextual approaches, supported by family involvement and a conducive social environment, to nurture sustainable awareness and practice of Islamic dress values.

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) is often criticized for emphasizing memorization and normative understanding rather than helping students develop practical life skills needed in contemporary society. This qualitative single-case study explores the implementation of fitrah-based Meaningful Learning at Bintang Madani High School in cultivating students’ life skills, particularly autonomous motivation, adaptability, and reflective self-awareness. Data were collected from one PAI teacher and four students through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed using a hybrid thematic coding approach supported by NVivo 15 software. The findings reveal three main features of the learning model: (1) the contextualization of theological content through contemporary issues relevant to students’ lives, (2) the integration of domestic life skills and industrial internship experiences, and (3) the use of restorative discipline and reflective learning programs. These practices encourage students to engage with religious learning more meaningfully, adapt to real-life social and vocational contexts, and develop greater awareness of their own beliefs, actions, and responsibilities. The study suggests that the integration of fitrah-based education and Meaningful Learning provides a promising approach for making PAI more relevant to students’ everyday experiences. The findings also offer practical insights for educators and curriculum developers seeking to strengthen the connection between religious learning and life-skill development.

Abstract

Traditional arts, such as Terbangan Menara in Kudus Regency, Indonesia, face both opportunities and challenges as a result of sociocultural shifts. This study looks at Terbangan Menara's musical style, community attitudes, and cultural adaptation in the face of sociocultural change. Twenty two purposefully chosen informants, including performers, cultural leaders, members of the community, young people, Yayasan Menara Makam Sunan Kudus (YM3SK) management, and regional cultural stakeholders, participated in a qualitative study. Interviews, observations, and documentation were used to gather data. The results demonstrate that Terbangan Menara maintains its own musical qualities while adjusting to modern advancements. It is distinguished musically by interlocking percussion harmonization, slow tempo changes from adagio to allegro, repeating ostinato rhythms in 4/4 meter, and a dramatic progression from mild to climax intensity. The vocal style employs harmonic minor and pentatonic melodic patterns performed collectively through sholawat chanting, accompanied by rebana instruments such as kemplong, telon, salahan, lajer, and jidur. The integration of Javanese rhythmic elements, Islamic lyrics, and call-and-response percussion reflects the acculturation of Islamic and Javanese traditions. Community perceptions are generally positive; however, modernization and changing youth entertainment preferences have reduced participation. Therefore, cultural education, youth involvement, musical innovation, and digital promotion are essential for sustaining Terbangan Menara as Kudus cultural heritage.
