Abstract

In every era, the interpretation of the Qur'an reflects a diversity of approaches, depending on the scholarly expertise of the interpreters (mufassir). One distinctive interpretative pattern is Sufi exegesis, despite its limited development due to challenging sceptical views. This research aims to address inquiries regarding the scope of Sufi exegesis, encompassing its historical emergence, limitations, differences in scholars' perspectives, and the terms "nazhari" and "ishari" Sufi exegesis. Employing qualitative methods and literature review, this study aligns expert views to achieve a nuanced understanding. The conclusion reveals that Sufi exegesis has deep-rooted origins since the early days of Islam, contributing to the development of Islamic spirituality and intellectual heritage. Despite its significance, critiques of symbolic and allegorical approaches raise questions about the clarity and certainty of Sufi interpretation. Research recommendations emphasize a more in-depth examination of empirical approaches in Sufi exegesis, integrating Sufi aspects with robust scientific methods, and exploring their social and moral impact in contemporary Muslim societies.

Abstract

Community welfare is often a serious topic of discussion in terms of its management. The government has yet to find a glimmer of hope in addressing inequality, despite its continued efforts to find various ways to reduce it. The objective of this study is to analyze the extent of the implementation of village fund allocation management, in accordance with Law No. 3 of 2024 on villages, as well as the fiscal policy review in fulfilling the rights of the residents of Kurniabakti and Pasirhuni villages. The mitigation efforts carried out in Kurniabakti Village and Pasirhuni Village include implementing several development programs related to community welfare. It is hoped that these programs will bring benefits to the community and realize the government's desire to mitigate inequality. The villages of Kurniabakti and Pasirhuni have implemented development programs as part of the government's targets to improve the welfare of the community, with the aim of enhancing the well-being of the people in accordance with the principles of Islamic law (maqasid sharia), which prioritize the greater good and avoid harm. The principles of fiscal policy, which encompass trustworthiness and justice, determine how government officials exercise their authority in accordance with Islamic law, as referenced in the Quran and Hadith. Therefore, the review of fiscal policy is used as an analytical tool in this study in Kurniabakti Village and Pasirhuni Village because the research is deemed consistent with the principles of fiscal policy.

Abstract

This study analyzes the concept of forgiveness in the Qur'an through the terms 'afw, ṣafh, and gufran, exploring their semantic, theological, and contextual meanings. It integrates this Qur'anic understanding with the psychological concept of the wounded inner child, showing forgiveness as both a moral duty and a spiritual healing process for emotional wounds and past trauma. Using qualitative methods, the research reveals forgiveness in Islam as a multidimensional mechanism involving emotional regulation, relationship transformation, and spiritual growth. It highlights how God's grace restores self-worth and inner peace. This study bridges tafsir and psychology, offering new insights by integrating the inner child concept with Qur'anic forgiveness for practical psychological healing.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between Islamic theology and the global ecological crisis through the perspective of Islamic ecotheology. The main focus is to explore the principles of monotheism, khalifah, and amanah as the basis for the formation of Islamic ecological ethics relevant to the development of sustainable civilization in the modern era. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilising library research methods. Data were obtained from primary and secondary literature related to Islamic theology, environmental ethics, and ecological spirituality. The analysis was conducted descriptively and reflectively, using an interpretative model to examine ecotheological values within the context of the global environmental crisis. This study found that Islamic ecotheological values have the potential to build a theology of a good paradigm that integrates faith, knowledge, and ecological action. The principle of Fastabiqul Khairat (competing in goodness) can serve as a theological basis for encouraging environmental action and interfaith digital da'wah as a form of spiritual responsibility towards the earth. The results of this study can be applied in various fields, including Islamic education, environmental ethics, social theology, and digital communication studies. These findings are also relevant to the development of public policy, socio-religious movements, and ecology-based da'wah strategies that strengthen spiritual awareness and environmental sustainability. This research presents a reconstruction of the theology of goodness, drawing on Islamic ecotheology and its integration with digital culture. This approach expands the role of Islamic theology from the normative realm to collaborative ecological praxis, making a new contribution to the development of environmental theology discourse in the global era.

Abstract

Spirituality is an essential dimension of human life, encompassing self-awareness, relationships with God, others, and nature, as well as the search for meaning in life. This study examines spirituality through the perspective of Transpersonal Psychology, a modern branch of psychology that emphasizes transcendental experiences, heightened consciousness, and the integration of psychological, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. Transpersonal psychology emerged as a response to the limitations of conventional psychological approaches that focus on behavior, mental processes, and clinical healing, thus underemphasizing the spiritual aspect of individual growth. This study used library research methods to analyze relevant literature, including books, articles, and scientific documents on transpersonal psychology and spiritual experiences. The findings suggest that transpersonal experiences, including peak experiences, self-transcendence, and mystical experiences, play a significant role in shaping self-awareness, psychological well-being, and the quality of social relationships. The integration of the spiritual dimension into psychology helps individuals face stress, conflict, and the challenges of everyday life with greater awareness. The research also emphasizes the importance of a holistic, subjective, and humanistic approach to understanding transformative experiences that are unique to each individual. Thus, Transpersonal Psychology not only expands scientific understanding of humankind but also provides a practical foundation for spirituality-based education, counselling, and psychological interventions. This study asserts that spirituality, through transpersonal experiences, is a fundamental element in self-development, character formation, and the attainment of a deeper meaning in life within the context of contemporary psychology.

Abstract

The interpretation of the Tabi'in is one of the interpretations that has a high position in interpretation. The narration taken from the Tabi'in is categorized by some scholars as the interpretation of bi al-ma'ṡūr, which in terms of narration, the interpretation of the Tabi'in has the same authority as the interpretation of the Companions. However, acceptance and rejection were expressed towards one of the Tabi'in scholars, Qotadah bin Di'amah, who was accused by some scholars of being a Qodariyyah scholar. This research was conducted using library research and aims to reveal the results of Imam Qotadah's interpretation, examining his position in the interpretation of the Tabi'in. The results obtained from this research are that through the analysis of his interpretation, no strong evidence was found that Qotadah was a Qodariyyah scholar, which further confirms his credibility which has implications for the authority of the Tabi'in interpretation.

Abstract

This article examines the integration of mysticism, spirituality, Sufism, and neurotheology as a means to bridge the spiritual and biological dimensions of human religious experience. Mysticism is interpreted as the pinnacle of transrational religious experience, while spirituality is viewed as a progressive development of ethical and inner consciousness. Sufism, as the mystical path of Islam, offers a structured and practical framework of spiritual ascent through concepts such as maqamat (stations), ahwal (states), dhikr (remembrance), and fana’ (ego dissolution). This study employs a qualitative approach, utilising a literature review and philosophical-interpretive content analysis, to examine classical Sufi texts and contemporary neuroscientific research. The findings suggest that Sufi practices are associated with specific neurological activities, including activation of the prefrontal cortex, increased theta waves, and decreased activity in the default mode network. The integration of Sufism and neurotheology supports the development of transdisciplinary models in spiritual education and psychological therapy, while maintaining epistemological boundaries and the depth of spiritual meaning. This article contributes to the interdisciplinary discourse of religious studies, opening up space for a constructive dialogue between revelation and science.

Abstract

This study analyzes how gender bias and religious conservatism are reproduced through social media in Indonesia, using the viral case study of Shuniyya Ruhama, a female religious teacher who was attacked online for expressing religious views that were considered incompatible with conservative interpretations. The objective of this study is to uncover the dynamics of the representation of female religious authority and resistance to it in the digital space. The methodology employed is Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), utilizing data from the platforms X (Twitter), Threads, and TikTok, using a purposive sampling technique. Findings indicate that women who deliver religious sermons often face delegitimization through misogynistic religious narratives that reinforce the hegemony of religious patriarchy. Symbolic representations in the form of labeling, hate speech, and the removal of women’s religious authority status reveal unequal power dynamics. On the other hand, counter-narratives emerge from progressive communities advocating for equality in religious interpretation and women’s religious authority. This study shows that social media is not neutral, but rather an ideological arena where conservative discourse is both perpetuated and challenged. The implications of this study include the need for a reformulation of gender-fair media representation and support for digital public spaces that are inclusive of women in religious discourse.

Abstract

This study investigates the contextualization of Hadits Tarbawi as a framework for character education among students in the era of Society 5.0, where the convergence of artificial intelligence, big data, and hyperconnectivity reshapes educational paradigms. The study aims to critically examine how prophetic values particularly honesty, responsibility, emotional regulation, and moral exemplarity can be meaningfully implemented in a digitized learning environment to form spiritually grounded and emotionally resilient individuals. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach and content analysis methodology, the research draws on classical Islamic texts, empirical studies, and interdisciplinary theories on technology and pedagogy. Findings show that the integration of Hadits Tarbawi with digital tools such as Brain Emotional Learning Controllers (BELC), AI-based emotion detection systems, and technology-rich learning environments significantly enhances students' moral cognition and emotional intelligence. Moreover, spiritual practices such as habitual prayer, self-reflection, and prophetic storytelling remain indispensable in anchoring values amidst the noise of digital culture. The study concludes that a hybrid educational model combining Islamic prophetic pedagogy and adaptive digital strategies offers a viable and ethically sound solution to address moral degradation and identity crises among Muslim youth. Theoretically, the research contributes to the field of Islamic education by reaffirming the relevance of Hadits Tarbawi in modern pedagogy. Practically, it provides an innovative model for character education that leverages technological advancement without compromising spiritual depth. This hybrid model aligns with global trends in spiritual-tech integration, promoting an educational ethos that is human-centered, value-driven, and future-oriented.
The Historical Impact of the Mongol Invasion on Islamic Civilization: A Study of the Ilkhan Dynasty, Timur Lenk, and Their Socio-Cultural Legacy Najmudin, Salman; Avicena, Muhamad Zaky; Mulyanudin, Mulyanudin; Hernawan, Wawan; Kusdiana, Ading; Nurcahya, Yan

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the political and social instability experienced by Muslim societies during the Mongol era, particularly during the Ilkhan Dynasty and the reign of Timur Lenk. This study is based on the urgency of understanding the historical roots of disruption in Islamic civilization as a contribution to efforts to prevent future conflict and fragmentation. This study uses historical methods by applying heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography to reconstruct the events of the Mongol invasion, the establishment of the Ilkhan Dynasty (1260–1343), and the expansion and pacification of Timur Lenk (1370–1404). The research findings show that the Mongol conquests destroyed Islamic political, social, and scientific institutions to a large extent, but simultaneously opened up space for new cultural integration, the Islamization of the Mongol elite, and the formation of a hybrid power structure that combined steppe traditions and Islamic-Persian values. The Ilkhan Dynasty became a space of ideological transition, while Timur Lenk inherited the logic of Mongol military expansion with a strategy of terror and power symbolism. Although both created short-term stability, they failed to build lasting institutional legitimacy. This study contributes to the understanding of the resilience of Islamic civilization, post-conquest power dynamics, and the complex relationship between foreign militarism and the political-religious adaptations of Muslim societies. The research's originality lies in its integrative historical narrative, which links military conquest with its long-term socio-political and cultural impacts on Muslim territories, offering a critical perspective largely unexplored in previous studies.
