Abstract

The problem of social inequality reflects inequality in power relations, distribution of resources, and ideological legitimacy, which are often wrapped in religious narratives. In fact, the Qur'an contains fundamental values such as justice, solidarity, equality, and defense of the oppressed (mustaḍ‘afīn). This article aims to re-examine in depth the approach of social interpretation of the Qur'an in responding to issues of socioeconomic inequality and to reveal the role of the Qur'an in defending social inequality. The research includes a literature study with a critical hermeneutic approach in reading social verses in interpretations that are in accordance with the characteristics of interpretation. The primary source refers to verses of the Qur'an relating to the principle of economic justice, and some other related literature as secondary sources. This article argues that the social verses of the Qur’an are grounded in the principles of justice (al-‘adl), compassion (raḥmah), and egalitarianism (musāwah). These spirits are in line with social interpretation based on a critical hermeneutical framework that connects the text, context, and social reality. The findings reveal that social exegesis not only interprets the text normatively but also presents it as a tool for social criticism against entrenched structures of injustice. This exegesis promotes the formation of transformative ethics that favour marginalised groups. This research opens up a space for dialogue between religious texts and the practice of social justice in the context of contemporary Muslim society, and expands the horizon of exegesis as a tool for social change.

Abstract

This study examines the Qur’anic concept of iṭ‘ām al-ṭa‘ām as a normative and operational ethic for social policy, analyzing its relevance to Indonesia’s national Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) program launched in 2025. Responding to persistent challenges in child nutrition and food security, exemplified by 21.5% stunting prevalence in SSGI 2023, the study addresses structural inequalities in access to nutrition highlighted by the Global Nutrition Report 2024. Employing a thematic Qur’anic exegesis (tafsīr mawḍū‘ī), the research integrates lexical–semantic analyses of feeding-related verses, Makkiyah–Madaniyah contextualization, and classical and modern exegetical insights, operationalized via maqāṣid al-sharīʿah and the Capability Approach. Findings reveal that Qur’anic discourses on iṭ‘ām al-ṭa‘ām articulate not only distributive justice and protection of vulnerable populations but also the mechanisms through which institutional design, governance, and community practices shape the realization of human capabilities. This framework allows a critical assessment of MBG’s transformative impact beyond logistical delivery, providing evidence-based guidance for ethically coherent and socially effective nutrition policies. The study contributes methodologically by advancing an Applied Social Exegesis model that bridges Qur’anic ethics with contemporary policy evaluation.

Abstract

This study examines the reception and praxis of Qur’anic eco-theological values within the cultural life of the Muslim community of Bima, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, through a living Qur’an approach combined with Hans Robert Jauss’s reception theory. It investigates how Qur’anic concepts such as tawḥīd, khilāfah, amānah, and ecological balance are received, interpreted, and internalized through local wisdom, including the philosophy of Maja Labo Dahu, the ethical principle Ngaha Aina Ngoho, and cultural practices such as Rimpu and Peta Kapanca. Using qualitative methods comprising literature review, cultural observation, and contextual tafsīr analysis, the study finds that these traditions function as concrete modes of cultural reception that translate Qur’anic eco-theological values into everyday ethical practices, particularly in fostering environmental responsibility and social restraint. However, the analysis also reveals interpretive limits and contextual constraints, where specific ecological meanings are selectively emphasized while others remain implicit or symbolic. Theoretically, this study contributes to living Qur’an scholarship by demonstrating how reception theory can be employed to map the horizon of expectation through which Qur’anic meanings are culturally negotiated. Empirically, it highlights local wisdom as both a medium and a boundary for the internalization of Islamic ecological ethics in addressing contemporary environmental challenges.

Abstract

Within the context of Islamic education, Surah al-Fātiḥah holds potential as a foundation for holistic pedagogy that integrates spiritual, moral, and intellectual dimensions. Nevertheless, empirical research systematically examining the application of Qur’anic Edu-Theology principles in modern educational practices remains limited, creating a gap between normative Qur’anic frameworks and contemporary pedagogical implementation. This study employs a qualitative approach by combining taḥlīlī exegesis for key-term analysis with mawḍū‘ī exegesis for thematic understanding of Surah al-Fātiḥah, integrated with modern educational theories such as compassion-based pedagogy, character education, and behaviorism. The study highlights six core principles of Qur’anic Edu-Theology: (1) divine compassion, (2) inclusivity, (3) justice and moral accountability, (4) loyalty and exemplary conduct, (5) consistency and perseverance, and (6) learning from exemplary models while avoiding misguidance, which can serve as practical guidelines in modern education. The findings indicate that these principles can form a pedagogical framework that is humanistic, transformative, and value-oriented, while simultaneously necessitating adaptive strategies to address normative challenges, including technology integration, student-centered approaches, and project-based learning. The primary contribution of this study is the introduction of the Qur’anic Edu-Theology concept as a paradigm for holistic education relevant to the modern context, while also providing a conceptual foundation for further research to explore other surahs and empirically test their effectiveness in educational practice
Negotiating Pure Ideas and Religious Thought in Qur’anic Exegesis: An Analysis of Muḥammad Saʿīd al-ʿAshmāwī’s Concept of Homosexuality Verses Safala, Udin

Abstract

This study examines Muḥammad Saʿīd al-ʿAshmāwī’s conceptual approach to interpreting Qur’anic verses concerning homosexuality, emphasizing the distinction between al-fikr al-ṣāfī (pure ideas) and al-fikr al-dīnī (religious thought). Al-ʿAshmāwī asserts that pure ideas are transcendent and objective, whereas religious thought constitutes human interpretation influenced by social, historical, and cultural contexts. The study aims to explore how this framework enables exegesis that preserves normative principles while remaining responsive to contemporary social, ethical, and legal dynamics. Employing a qualitative methodology through literature review, the analysis is both thematic-categorical and epistemological, examining relevant Qur’anic verses and al-ʿAshmāwī’s works. Findings indicate that his approach foregrounds the moral, ethical, and social essence of revelation, treating legal prescriptions as contextually constructed by humans. By integrating classical and modern hermeneutics with local and global perspectives, this method ensures interpretations remain relevant to issues of justice, human dignity, and contemporary social dynamics. The study contributes to the development of a transformative exegetical framework that bridges transcendent principles and human interpretive needs in a humanistic, critical, and practical manner, offering a methodological foundation for contemporary Qur’anic studies.
