Abstract

Environmental degradation has highlighted the importance of strengthening ecological awareness through education, including Islamic education. Integrating ecotheological values into Aqidah Akhlak learning has become an important approach to fostering students' responsibility for environmental conservation as part of practicing Islamic teachings. This study aimed to analyze the integration of ecotheological values into Aqidah Akhlak learning and its contribution to strengthening students' ecological awareness at MTs As'adiyah Belawa Baru. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal, an Aqidah Akhlak teacher, and eight students. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, while data trustworthiness was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings revealed that ecotheological values were integrated into learning through instructional materials, teaching strategies, teacher role modeling, and environmental habituation activities within the madrasah. This integration contributed to strengthening students' ecological awareness, as reflected in their improved understanding, attitudes, and environmentally responsible behaviors. The implementation of ecotheological values was supported by teachers' understanding, the principal's commitment, and a supportive madrasah culture, although it still encountered challenges related to limited facilities, instructional time, and the consistency of students' environmental behavior. This study confirms that integrating ecotheological values into Aqidah Akhlak learning contributes to strengthening students' ecological awareness while promoting the development of environmentally responsible character.

Abstract

Social media captions increasingly require translation to reach multilingual audiences, yet the quality of such translations is rarely examined empirically. This study investigates the sentence types, translation techniques, and translation quality of Arabic-Indonesian captions on the Instagram account @Natgeomagarab, the Arabic edition of National Geographic Magazine. Data comprised 52 Arabic captions and their Indonesian translations uploaded between 1-5 September 2023, analyzed using the eighteen translation techniques of Molina and Albir (2002) and the translation-quality assessment model of Nababan, Nuraeni, and Sumardiono (2012), covering accuracy, acceptability, and readability. Data were collected through observation, note-taking, and questionnaire techniques and analyzed descriptively-qualitatively following Miles and Huberman's interactive model and Spradley's domain analysis. Results show that nominal sentences (jumlah ismiyah) occurred in 33 captions (63.5%) and verbal sentences (jumlah fi’liyah) in 19 captions (36.5%), distributed across four themes: flora and fauna, tourism, astronomy, and advertisement. Ten of the eighteen possible techniques were applied across 550 instances, dominated by established equivalent (69.0%), adaptation (12.2%), and reduction (10.2%). The overall weighted translation-quality score across the three aspects was 2.06, placing the translations in the moderate category rather than fully accurate, acceptable, and readable. The findings suggest that heavy reliance on established equivalent and reduction techniques, while efficient for concise captions, does not automatically guarantee translation quality, indicating the need for more context-sensitive strategies when translating culturally embedded Arabic captions for an Indonesian audience.

Abstract

The “Marriage Is Scary” discourse among Generation Z reflects anxiety about divorce, financial precarity, unequal gender roles, domestic violence, and loss of autonomy, often intensified by social-media narratives. This study examines how Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir’s Fiqh al-Usrah can conceptually reconstruct Islamic family law in response to these concerns. It employs qualitative library research, using Fiqh al-Usrah: Fondasi Akhlak Mulia dalam Hukum Keluarga (2025) and Qira’ah Mubadalah (2019) as primary texts. Thirty-four journal articles, official statistics, an institutional research report, and methodological works constitute the secondary corpus. The materials were selected through staged screening and analyzed through iterative coding, thematic synthesis, and contextual hermeneutics. Four findings emerge. First, Fiqh al-Usrah shifts family law from legal formalism toward an ethical-relational framework grounded in akhlāq and reciprocity. Second, its five marital pillars reframe marriage as a solemn, consensual, consultative, and mutually respectful partnership. Third, it reconstructs nafkah, nusyūz, ṭalāq, and domestic labor as negotiated and accountable responsibilities rather than unilateral entitlements. Fourth, these principles support a Humanistic Islamic Family Model that conceptually addresses Generation Z’s concerns about financial risk, unequal roles, personal autonomy, and mental well-being. The study’s novelty lies in integrating Fiqh al-Usrah with documented indicators of marital anxiety and translating the synthesis into a structured conceptual model. Because the study is literature-based, the model is a normative-conceptual framework rather than evidence of practical effectiveness; empirical testing is therefore required.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has created new forms of distraction, excessive media use, and shifts in attention and social orientation. This study aims to examine the Qur’anic concept of ghaflah and its interpretive relevance to contemporary digital phenomena from a psychological perspective. This study employs a qualitative library research approach using the thematic interpretation method (Tafsīr Mawḍū‘ī). Primary data consist of Qur’anic verses related to ghaflah and their interpretations in classical and contemporary tafsīr, while secondary sources include scholarly literature on psychology and digital media. Data were analyzed through content analysis by identifying the meanings and characteristics of ghaflah, categorizing the findings thematically, and interpreting their relevance to contemporary digital behavior. The findings indicate that ghaflah encompasses several dimensions, including neglect of spiritual responsibility, excessive attachment to worldly interests, inadequate use of human perceptual capacities, and distraction from fundamental life purposes. These characteristics show conceptual and interpretive relevance to contemporary digital phenomena, particularly excessive digital use, compulsive scrolling, information overload, and social validation. Rather than establishing an empirical relationship, the study demonstrates that psychological perspectives on self-awareness, self-regulation, attention, and social comparison provide analytical frameworks for understanding how digital environments may intensify patterns of distraction and loss of orientation described in the Qur’anic concept of ghaflah. The novelty of this study lies in constructing an interdisciplinary dialogue between Qur’anic interpretation and contemporary psychology while maintaining the theological distinction between ghaflah and psychological constructs. The study concludes that ghaflah provides a relevant Qur’anic framework for reflecting on digital behavior and highlights the importance of conscious, self-regulated, and ethically oriented technology use.

Abstract

This study examines the distribution of zakat to the aṣnāf fī sabīlillāh through da'wah programs at two national zakat management institutions (LAZNAS), Dompet Dhuafa and Baitulmaal Muamalat, and assesses its conformity with Law Number 23 of 2011 on Zakat Management and Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) Fatwa Number 8 of 2011 on Amil Zakat. Using a normative-empirical legal research design with a qualitative case-study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, documentation, and literature review, and analyzed descriptively-analytically using normative and empirical approaches. The results show that both institutions channel zakat to fī sabīlillāh through da'wah programs such as preacher (da'i) cadre-building, mu'allaf coaching, Islamic education, religious outreach, and social empowerment, reflecting a contextual and expanded interpretation of fī sabīlillāh consistent with maqāṣid al-sharī'ah. Both institutions demonstrate dual compliance-shariah compliance and regulatory compliance-although through different governance models: Dompet Dhuafa adopts a specialization strategy with explicit, segmented da'wah programs that ease auditability, while Baitulmaal Muamalat adopts an integrative strategy combining social, educational, and da'wah elements that demands stricter fund segregation and documentation under PSAK 109. The study concludes that both institutions have integrated professional, transparent, and accountable zakat governance, positioning zakat not merely as consumptive aid but as an instrument of da'wah and community empowerment. The findings contribute to the limited empirical literature on institutional-level dual compliance in Indonesian zakat management and offer practical recommendations for regulators, zakat institutions, and Shariah Supervisory Boards.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the experiences of young Bahá’í individuals in accessing education and understanding the process of negotiating their religious identity in an academic environment dominated by majority religious groups in Asam Kumbang Village, Medan City. The research uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design to uncover the informants' lived experiences in pursuing education, interacting with the academic environment, and maintaining their religious identity. There are 10 informants selected through purposive sampling, consisting of six main informants and four supporting informants. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation, then analyzed phenomenologically through epoche, horizontalization, clustering of meaning units, theme formation, and synthesis of the essence of the experienceResearch results show that being Bahá’í is not a direct barrier to accessing and attending education. The informants are able to participate in learning, interact with peers, and take part in academic activities relatively normally. The challenges they face mainly relate to adapting to a new environment, the limited understanding some people have about the Bahá’í faith, and the need to explain their religious identity in certain situations. The academic environment is seen relatively positively because there is space to learn and interact without overt rejection of one’s religious identity. Identity negotiation happens in an adaptive and accommodating way through self-adjustment, communication, managing how open they are about their identity, and mutual respect, allowing the informants to maintain their religious identity while taking part in academic life. This study emphasizes that access to education for minority groups is not just about formal opportunities to learn, but also about having social spaces that allow them to maintain their religious identity equally. Therefore, developing inclusive education needs to consider both interpersonal acceptance and structural aspects, including policies, educational practices, and meeting the religious needs of minority groups.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Saba’, Sabqi, and Manzil methods in maintaining the quality of Quran memorization at Rukiyah Khadizatul Kubro Islamic Boarding School in Batu Bara Regency, North Sumatra. The study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research informants consisted of seven people, including one boarding school leader, one tahfiz mentor teacher, and five students selected purposively. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through data condensation, data presentation, and drawing and verifying conclusions. The results show that the Saba’, Sabqi, and Manzil methods are applied as an integrated sequence of learning: Saba’ for adding new memorization, Sabqi for reinforcing new memorization, and Manzil for maintaining old memorization through review. The system is strengthened through memorization deposits, listening, correction of tajweed and pronunciation, recording progress in the mutāba’ah book, guidance from ustadzahs, and providing motivation. The study also found some obstacles, such as time management limitations, differences in memorization ability, fatigue, and consistency in review. To overcome this, the pesantren applies repetition, individual guidance, habituation of memorization, continuous supervision, and adjusting guidance based on the students' abilities. The research findings show that the Saba’, Sabqi, and Manzil methods not only function as memorization techniques but also form a tahfiz learning system that emphasizes quality, accuracy, consistency, and sustainability of Qur'an memorization.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Hamka and M. Quraish Shihab's interpretations of Qur’anic verses related to infertility and to identify the similarities and differences in their views. The research uses a qualitative approach with library research, thematic (tafsir maudhu‘i), and comparative (muqāran) methods, with Tafsir Al-Azhar and Tafsir Al-Mishbah as primary sources. The verses that are the focus of this study include QS. Ali ‘Imran [3]: 40, QS. Maryam [19]: 4–6, and QS. Asy-Syura [42]: 49–50. The results show that infertility from the Qur’an's perspective is not just about biological limitations but also has theological, spiritual, and social dimensions. Hamka emphasizes Allah’s will, prayer, patience, acceptance of His decree, and a social attitude that avoids stigma, while Quraish Shihab highlights linguistic aspects, context, and the substantive relevance of the verses to human life. Both share the idea that having children is part of God's will, and infertility shouldn't be used as a reason to blame or look down on either partner. So, the concept of infertility here highlights a balance between effort, prayer, patience, trust in God, and acceptance of His decree, as well as the importance of being compassionate toward couples who struggle to have children.

Abstract

This study examines publicly disclosed information on data-driven and algorithmically assisted decision-making in SPayLater digital financing, viewed from the perspective of Shariah Accountability. The study employs a qualitative document analysis within a bounded case. Data were drawn from a purposively selected corpus of publicly available documents, comprising the Product and Service Information Summary (RIPLAY), the Terms and Conditions of Service, the Privacy Policy, official reports, and FAQ pages of PT Commerce Finance/SPayLater, together with relevant academic literature (see Table 1 for the full document corpus), accessed through [state document access period]. As an assessment of publicly disclosed information rather than an audit of PT Commerce Finance's internal system, the data were analyzed thematically using the principles of amanah, mas'uliyyah, 'adl, ihsan, and accountability to Allah SWT. The findings indicate that public disclosures show data-mediated assessment activities-including user selection, credit scoring, eligibility and risk assessment, risk grading, and the determination of financing facilities and limits-that are consistent with some characteristics of automated or algorithmically assisted decision-making, although the precise degree of automation cannot be established from public sources alone. The study did not find publicly available information regarding the algorithms, formulas, variable weights, or machine learning models used by the system; the technical mechanism of the system therefore cannot be assessed in detail. From the perspective of Shariah Accountability, the use of technology in decision-making does not eliminate human and institutional responsibility. Responsibility remains with those who have the authority to design, operate, and oversee the system. Accordingly, such data-driven processes should be accompanied by responsible data management, fair decision-making, meaningful benefit for users, and adequate human oversight and correction mechanisms.

Abstract

This study examines the Tutup Uban tradition among the Malay community of Bulik District, Lamandau Regency, Central Kalimantan, by distinguishing its customary authority from its status under Indonesian marriage law. The study uses an exploratory qualitative socio-legal case design that combines semi-structured interviews with a customary leader and a participant who experienced the practice, field observation, and doctrinal analysis of primary marriage-law materials. Empirical data were analyzed thematically, while legal materials were examined to distinguish religious validity, administrative registration, and customary recognition. The findings show that Tutup Uban is understood by the two informants as a symbolic practice performed when a younger sibling marries before an unmarried older sibling. Its principal functions are to express respect, maintain family relationships, and obtain social acceptance through symbolic gifts and the tampung tawar ritual. The practice may also create financial pressure when gift expectations exceed a family's means, although its form is negotiable. Doctrinal analysis finds no provision that makes Tutup Uban a statutory condition of marriage validity or registration. The study therefore interprets the tradition as a socially authoritative yet context-specific customary norm operating alongside, rather than replacing, religious and state-law requirements. Its contribution lies in clarifying the distinction between social legitimacy and formal legality within Indonesian legal pluralism. Practically, its symbolic purpose can be preserved through flexible implementation that avoids excessive financial demands.
