Abstract

This article aims to narrate Surah Al-Kahf through the perspective of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Al-Jailani using William James' theory of mysticism (1902). Many arguments explain that the historical aspects in the Qur'an are only symbolic and some consider them fictional. Through a Sufi exegesis, it takes a deep effort to see the extent to which historical arguments are included in the interpretation. Using a character-based qualitative research method, this article examines the life, thoughts, contributions, and interpretation of the Qur'an by Sheikh Abdul Qadir Al-Jailani by analyzing Surah Al-Kahfi. The findings show that the stories of the Companions of the Cave (Ashab al-Kahf), Satan's refusal to prostrate to Prophet Adam, Prophet Khidr and Prophet Musa, Dhu al-Qarnayn, and Gog and Magog (Ya'juj and Ma'juj) contain mystical elements that are in line with the characteristics of mysticism according to James. Four main characteristics, namey ineffability, noetic quality, immortality, and passivity, are clearly reflected in Al-Jailani's interpretation and tadabbur iqrar (spiritual advice). These results show that Al-Jailani's interpretation of Surah Al-Kahf not only highlights historical aspects but also reveals the spiritual depth and inner meaning of each event.

Abstract

The phenomenon of gift-giving in the digital world, especially on streaming platforms and social media, has grown rapidly with the presence of various donation features and support for content creators. This practice raises questions about the legal and cultural aspects of gifts from an Islamic perspective, especially related to the teachings of fiqh which focus on the relationship between the giver, the recipient, and the benefits contained therein. This paper aims to examine integrative fiqh on digital gift practices, with a case study on the streamer @yb who uses the tajribi (experimental) approach to assess the social and economic impacts of this gift practice in the digital world. This study uses a qualitative approach with direct observation methods of phenomena on social media and analysis of content received by the streamer. The results of the study indicate that the gift practice in streaming @yb has significant social value, creates a relationship between content creators and their audiences, and can affect the personal economic aspects and digital communities and from a contemporary fiqh perspective, this donation practice is generally more inclined towards the tabarru' contract (voluntary grant) because it is given spontaneously without conditions and without any demands for a specific return.

Abstract

Hate speech is a serious problem for religious adherents and a challenge for governments. Its spread is due to the increasingly strong influence of globalization, with open access and the excuse of free speech. Imam al-Ghazali, a prominent medieval scholar, already mentioned the importance of avoiding hate speech with the term as-Syukriyah. The purpose of this study is to determine how the concept of hate speech on social media is viewed from the perspective of Imam al-Ghazali. This study uses library research with a descriptive interpretive qualitative approach, using the Miles and Huberman analysis technique, namely data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion and verification. The results of this study show that the concept of hate speech on social media according to Imam al-Ghazali is called as-Syukriyah, which means “insulting or belittling others through words, behavior, or gestures.” This action is haram (forbidden), considered bad character, and the perpetrator is classified as a fasiq farji (immoral person). In the context of positive law, free speech is guaranteed by Article 1 of Law No. 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights. However, free speech is still limited by ethics, norms, and legal regulations in the ITE Law, which strictly regulates hate speech on social media. In line with Imam al-Ghazali's concept, the principles of Islamic law and positive law state that hate speech violates human values, ethics, and the law, and triggers social conflict. Therefore, synergy between Imam al-Ghazali's religious ethics and the law is necessary to maintain social harmony and stability.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the function of collective Ijtihad operated by Muslim intellectuals in Indonesia as the driving force for the renewal (tajdid) of Islamic legal thought. Starting from a gap in previous research that tended to focus on legal outcomes (product) rather than the thought process and method (process) of Ijtihad, this study employs an analytical framework that combines Jasser Auda's Contemporary Maqasid al-Shari'ah (as the philosophical framework) and Fazlur Rahman's Double Movement Method (as the methodological framework). The transformation of Ijtihad in Indonesia from individual to collective, represented by major institutions such as the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), and Muhammadiyah, demonstrates a diversity of methodologies within a dialectical space between text, school of law tradition, and modern demands. The case study of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) proves the collective Ijtihad's ability to reach a consensus. The analysis indicates that the cautious stance of these institutions allowing IVF only between a legally married husband and wife without involving a third party is an expression of critical and responsive Muslim intellectuality. Through the lens of the double movement, the mujtahids succeeded in drawing the universal moral goal from the texts prohibiting the confusion of lineage, namely the protection of honor and the clarity of the family line, to be applied to the problem of modern reproductive technology. Philosophically (Maqasid), this process balances the benefit for infertile couples (the right to have offspring) with the obligation to safeguard the universal objectives of Shari'ah, particularly the preservation of progeny (hifz al-nasl) and human dignity. The implications of this Ijtihad finding are reinforced in Indonesia's Positive Law (Law No. 36 of 2009 concerning Health).

Abstract

This research aims to examine how the digital religious series Bidaah represents and distorts Islamic symbols within the context of identity politics in the Digital 5.0 era. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach and a critical analysis framework of identity politics, this study analyzes the representation of Islamic symbols in the series’ visual and verbal narratives, as well as public responses to these representations on social media. The findings indicate that Islamic symbols are reduced from their substantive meanings and utilized as instruments of spiritual power. The series also reinforces narratives of religious exclusivism through manipulative symbolic representations. These findings highlight the need to strengthen religious media literacy, engage Islamic educational institutions in digital education, and develop counter-narratives that emphasize substantive Islamic values in the digital space.
AL-ALUSI’S INTERPRETATION OF THE CONCEPT OF SEEING JINN IN RUH AL-MA‘ANI: AN INTERTEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF Q.

Abstract

This article examines Mahmud al-Alusi’s interpretation of the concept of seeing jinn in Q. al-A‘raf (7): 27 as presented in Ruh al-Ma‘ani, employing Julia Kristeva’s theory of intertextuality. The study is based on the premise that Qur’anic exegesis does not develop autonomously but emerges through complex dialogues with theological discourses, hadith traditions, and earlier exegetical works. Using qualitative library research with a descriptive-analytical approach, this study demonstrates that al-Alusi’s interpretation develops through a dialectical engagement with Mu‘tazili perspectives, authentic Prophetic traditions, reports attributed to Ibn Mas‘ud, and Sunni scholarly positions, particularly those of al-Shafi‘i and al-Baydawi. Through processes of transformation, modification, and discursive conversion, al-Alusi argues that the human inability to see jinn is not absolute but contingent upon the absolute will of God. This study demonstrates the utility of Kristeva’s intertextual framework for reading classical tafsir as a dynamic network of meanings and highlights its relevance for connecting traditional Islamic exegesis with contemporary religious discourse.

Abstract

Islam has an alternative healing method derived from the Quran and Sunnah called ruqyah. However, this practice has become a sensational issue within circles of ideological and methodological debate, caught in the grip of market logic. This research examines ruqyah among the urban middle class through Pattana Kitiarsa’s concept of the commodification of religion through symbols, goods, and branding, which exists at an ambiguous point between expressions of piety and, conversely, mere capital assets. At the same time, this addresses how ruqyah becomes a 'medium' of ideological contestation among Salafi, Tablighi, and traditionalist groups in shaping pious identity. Therefore, the author conducted field research on the alternative healing practice "Jiwa Tauhid," located in Yogyakarta City. The author obtained research data through personal communication, participant observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that Jiwa Tauhid, through various commodities offered, such as health therapy services, spiritual ruqyah treatments, and ruqyah products, can act as a double agent: both an identity of piety and a market product. Although situated within a capitalist reality, this practice continues to thrive in modern society as an expression of piety in the era of popular Islamism in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article examines Abu Hasan Al-Mawardi's Al-Ahkam al-Sulthaniyyah through a legal politics perspective to understand the relationship between the configuration of power, Al-Mawardi's social position, and the construction of legal norms in the context of the legitimacy crisis of the Abbasid Caliphate. This research departs from the tendency of previous studies that separate normative, historical, and theoretical analysis, including studies that position Al-Mawardi's work as a normative text of fiqh siyasah, as a reference for modern governance, or as a product of historical responses to the Abbasid crisis. Different from these approaches, this article offers a reading that sees Al-Ahkam al-Sulthaniyyah as a legal politics discourse that functions in the production and reproduction of the legitimacy of power. This research is a literature study with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained from primary sources of the book Al-Ahkam al-Sulthaniyyah and relevant secondary sources, then analyzed using content analysis and historical-contextual analysis. The research findings demonstrate that the concept of imamate, leadership criteria, delegation of power, and state administration mechanisms are not only normative-theological in nature, but also serve as instruments of political legitimacy in response to the weakening authority of the caliph and the strengthening of the de facto power of the Buyid dynasty. Thus, Al-Ahkam al-Sulthaniyyah is understood as a compromising form of political jurisprudence, in which law mediates between ideals and political reality. This research confirms that law in the classical Islamic political tradition is not neutral, but rather the result of a dynamic interaction between power and legal knowledge.

Abstract

The rapid transformation of contemporary society in the digital era has significantly influenced the psychological wellbeing of Muslim individuals, families, and communities. The increasing prevalence of anxiety, emotional instability, social fragmentation, and spiritual disconnection highlights the urgent need for a holistic mental health framework that integrates psychological, spiritual, and social dimensions. In this context, Islamic Psychology offers an alternative paradigm rooted in the Islamic intellectual tradition, emphasizing the harmony between the soul, cognition, emotions, morality, and communal responsibility. This paper explores the role of Islamic Psychology in strengthening family and community resilience through the integration of spirituality, Islamic ethical values, and mental wellbeing. This research uses a literature study method with a descriptive analytical approach, reviewing classical and contemporary literature that discusses Islamic psychology, mental health, spirituality, as well as the latest studies on mental health challenges in the digital era among Muslim communities. The discussion focuses on key Islamic psychological concepts such as tazkiyat al-nafs (self-purification), sabr (patience), tawakkul (trust in God), and shukr (gratitude) as foundational elements for emotional resilience and psychological healing. The study also investigates how Islamic spiritual practices can foster emotional stability, social cohesion, and sustainable family wellbeing in modern Muslim communities. The novelty of this research lies in the development of an integrative conceptual framework termed Digital Islamic Psychological Resilience (DIPR), which synthesizes Islamic spirituality, positive psychology, and community resilience theory to address the psychological consequences of digital anxiety and social alienation in contemporary Muslim society. This paper positions Islamic Psychology as a multidimensional resilience model connecting self-healing, family strengthening, and community sustainability within the broader discourse of global mental health and faith-based wellbeing. The findings suggest that Islamic Psychology possesses substantial potential to contribute to sustainable mental health strategies and faith-based psychosocial interventions in the digital age. This study contributes to the expanding interdisciplinary discourse on religion, psychology, and community resilience by offering a new conceptual model relevant to contemporary Muslim social realities.

Abstract

The erosion of the value of modesty al-hayâ’ in the contemporary era presents a moral challenge driven by the rise of social media, cultural shifts, and changing norms of decency. This study aims to examine the values ​​of al-hayâ’ based on Sayyid Qutb’s interpretation in Tafsir Fī Ẓilāl al-Qur’ān and their relevance to the challenges of modern life. Employing a qualitative methodology, the study utilizes library research and a thematic (maudhū‘ī) exegetical approach. Primary data sources include the Qur’an and Tafsir Fī Ẓilāl al-Qur’ān, focusing on Surah an-Nūr [24]: 30–31, Surah al-Qaṣaṣ [28]: 25, and Surah al-Aḥzāb [33]: 33. Data were analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method. The findings indicate that the values ​​of al-hayâ’ in Sayyid Qutb’s interpretation encompass three main aspects: guarding one’s gaze and covering the awrah (intimate parts of the body); maintaining decency and boundaries in interactions between men and women; and preserving personal honor by avoiding tabarruj (ostentatious display of beauty). These values ​​remain relevant in the contemporary context, particularly in addressing the influence of social media, permissive culture, and the weakening of norms regarding decency. The implementation of al-hayâ’ values ​​can be achieved through moral education, family guidance, and the strengthening of ethics in both social interactions and the digital realm. Thus, al-hayâ’ is understood not merely as a sense of shame, but as a moral principle that plays a vital role in safeguarding personal honor and shaping the character of a Muslim possessing noble morals.
