Abstract

Islam is one of the religions with the largest number of adherents in the world. Muslims, although they come from diverse backgrounds, are united by the teachings of the Qur'an which was revealed in Arabic. To meet the needs of understanding for non-Arab Muslims, translating the Qur'an into various languages is important, but must still maintain the authenticity and sanctity of the original text. One of the English translations of the Qur'an that is considered authentic and neutral is the work of Marmaduke Pickthall, a convert from England. In his work The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'an (1930), Pickthall uses a literal approach with a classic English style ala the King James Bible. The goal is for Western readers to feel familiar and be able to understand the text with a similar spiritual nuance. This study is a literature review (library research) with a qualitative method that aims to examine Pickthall's translation approach, the challenges he faced, and the influence of his work on English-language Islamic studies. The results show that although his translation has been criticized for its archaic language style and extreme literal tendencies, Pickthall's work remains an important reference and has made a major contribution to building bridges of cross-cultural understanding.

Abstract

In Islamic heritage, three perspectives are presented regarding the incident of the moon splitting (Inshiqaq al-Qamar). Two of these perspectives affirm the event as a miraculous sign supporting the prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH), a view supported by most Islamic scholars. On the other hand, the rationalist minority considers the incident as a symbolic reference to apocalyptic signs linked to the Day of Judgment. This study adopts a comprehensive and impartial approach to analyze the arguments of both sides. Ultimately, it supports a purely Qur'anic perspective, identifying the moon splitting as synonymous with the "Khusuf al-Qamar" mentioned in Surah Al-Qiyamah, marking it as one of the signs and precursors of the Resurrection.
I'jaz in the Qur'an through the Use of the Word Bayt to Designate the Ka'aba Before its Rebuilt by Quraysh: Lessons for the Revivification of the Awqaf Knowledge Belabes, Abderrazak Said

Abstract

The aim of the research is to highlight the inimitability of the Qur'an through the use of the word Bayt, over a long period, to designate what has become known as Ka'aba. Initially, the building had a rectangular shape, with a semi-circular shape on the north side, since Ibrahim had rebuilt it with the help of his son Isma'il. The cubic shape dates back to five years before the advent of Islam when Quraysh had rebuilt it after it was partly destroyed by a torrential rain. Hence the name Ka'aba which means cube in Arabic. This explains why the use of the word bayt in the Qur'an, under different forms, is more than five times greater than that of Ka'aba. This i'jaz of the Qur'an in the judicious choice of words that accord with proven historical facts is paramount in the Revivification of the Awqaf Knowledge. The word Bayt refers to the House of Allah as a Habs, that is, something that remains under the Mulk (Sovereignty) of Allah. This is the case by extension for any place of worship as al-Bukhari mentions through one of his titles in his Collection of Authentic Ahadith. In this regard, the word Bayt is deeper than that of Ka'aba, because it contains strata of meaning that are not found through the word Ka'aba, and allows, consequently, to link things that the word Ka'aba does not allow, by immersing us in the deep history of humanity in its innate state which pushes to sincerity of worship for Allah. Thus, in terms of the organization of life, in the beginning was the Rizq of Allah, which generated the building of the Bayt as a Habs, then came the Ma'ash to provide for those who visit it to worship Allah, and the 'Umran following the grouping of people to dwell around the House of Allah.

Abstract

This study aims to examine Wahbah Az-Zuhaili's views on the practice of magic and black magic in Islam as explained in Tafsir al-Munir. Using qualitative methods with tahlili and descriptive-analytical approaches, this study analyzes three main verses: Surah Al-Baqarah: 102, Al-Falaq: 4, and Thaha: 66-70. The research process was carried out through a literature study of the interpretation text, complemented by a comparison with classical literature and contextualization of black magic practices in Indonesia. The results of the study indicate that black magic is a form of deviation from the faith that can lead to disbelief, while black magic is categorized as a branch of black magic because it contains elements of manipulation through supernatural media. Az-Zuhaili emphasized that black magic is a major sin that deserves severe legal sanctions. The mitigation strategies offered include strengthening monotheism, ruqyah syar'iyyah, and Islamic education as preventive measures. This research emphasizes the importance of Tafsir al-Munir as a reference for contemporary interpretation that is not only normative but also responsive to modern socio-religious challenges. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of tafsir, fiqh, and the local Indonesian context in explaining magic and witchcraft in an applied manner.

Abstract

Catcalling, as a form of symbolic gender-based violence, has become a serious issue in urban public spaces, particularly within Muslim societies. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of catcalling through a Qur'anic interpretive framework, focusing on Tafsir Al-Misbah by Quraish Shihab, to formulate educational and advocative strategies grounded in Islamic spirituality. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach and thematic tafsir methodology, data were collected from in-depth interviews with female catcalling survivors and a textual study of relevant Qur'anic verses and prophetic traditions. The findings reveal that catcalling contradicts the principle of karāmah insāniyyah (human dignity) (Q.S. Al-Isra' [17]:70), the prohibition of talmizu (mockery) (Q.S. Al-Hujurat [49]:11), and the Qur'anic spirit of gender-equal righteous deeds (Q.S. An-Nahl [16]:97). Moreover, prophetic teachings on ethical speech serve as a moral foundation to reject verbal abuse. The study also finds that spiritual recovery grounded in Islamic values can be an effective curative approach to the psychosocial impact on victims. Preventive strategies involving maqāṣid al-syari'ah-based education and Qur'anic public campaigns have the potential to foster a culture of respectful and just communication. These findings affirm that Qur'anic interpretation, when applied contextually and practically, can serve as a transformative instrument in addressing gender-based violence. The methodology included in-depth interviews with survivors and semantic-thematic analysis of religious texts.
The Meaning of Dukhan and Wardatan Ka-ddihan in Surah Ad-Dukhan (10-11) and Surah Ar-Rahman (37): A Scientific Thematic Study Habibullah, Ilham; Anggara, Deki Ridho Adi; Rifaannudin, Mahmud; Pratiwi, Utari Nur

Abstract

This study examines the Quranic terms "Dukhān" and "Wardatan Ka-ddihān" found in Surah Ad-Dukhan (10–11) and Surah Ar-Rahman (37) through a thematic scientific lens. Using a qualitative approach, it bridges classical tafsir (interpretation) with modern astronomical insights. The term "Dukhān" is interpreted as cosmic dust, possibly symbolizing the universe's final phase, while "Wardatan Ka-ddihān" is linked to the explosive death of a star, resembling nebulae such as the Rosette Nebula. These findings suggest that the Quran contains descriptions that align with observable cosmic phenomena, highlighting its relevance to scientific exploration. The research underscores the potential of religious texts to inspire inquiry and deepen understanding of the universe. By integrating faith and science, this study encourages interdisciplinary dialogue and opens new pathways for interpreting sacred texts in light of contemporary knowledge. Ultimately, it contributes to both Quranic scholarship and the broader conversation on the harmony between spirituality and scientific discovery.

Abstract

Al-Fatihah, known as "The Opening," is the first chapter of the Quran and serves as a cornerstone of Islamic worship and theology. Revealed in Mecca during a time of significant struggle against polytheism and social injustice, this chapter emphasizes the oneness of God (Tawhid) and addresses the challenges faced by early Muslims. Its recitation fosters unity and identity among believers, reinforcing communal bonds in a divided society. The study aims to explore the revelation, theme, and societal impact of al-Fatihah through a library-based tafsir approach. Primary sources such as al-Qurtubi's al-Jāmi' li Aḥkām al-Qur'ān, Ibn Kathīr's Tafsīr al-Qur'an al-'Azīm, Ibn al-Qayyim's Madārij al-Sālikīn, and contemporary tafsir by al-Sa'dī and Ibn 'Uthaymīn are analyzed alongside modern scholarship. The context of Al-Fatihah's revelation highlights its role in providing spiritual clarity and moral guidance. The chapter's themes of mercy, resilience, and divine guidance offer hope to believers, emphasizing the importance of a direct relationship with Allah. Its recitation in daily prayers reinforces Muslim identity across culture and context. By filling the gap in existing research on the historical and theological context of its revelation, this study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the enduring role in shaping Muslims' spirit and communal life. This article aims to enhance understanding of Al-Fatihah's historical context and enduring significance in shaping the faith and practices of Muslims.

Abstract

LGBT is a sexual orientation that does not represent the tendency of the majority of people, but rather a phenomenon that appears outside the general pattern of sexual orientation. The phenomenon will be viewed from the perspective of the Qur'an, the holy book of Muslims. This research uses the method of tafsir maudhu'i al-Farmawi by looking at the interpretation of female scholars, Fātin al-Falakī "Tafsīr al-Quran li al-Shabāb" and Tafsīr Marāh al-Labīd by Nawawī al-Bantanī, a mufassir born in Tanara, Banten, who is well known among the Nusantara Pesantren. This research analyzes five verses related to GBT behavior, namely QS. al-Shu'arā': 165-166, al-Naml: 54-55, al-Ankabūt: 38-30, al-A'rāf: 80-81, and QS. al-Nisā': 119. As a result, both Mufasirs condemn LGBT behavior, which in the Quran is described by the terms Ata'tūna al-Dukrāna, Fākhishah, and Taghyīr Khalq Allah. However, both only discuss the gay, bisexual, and transgender (GBT) aspects without explicitly touching the lesbian aspect. Preventive measures to prevent GBT behavior can be done by avoiding promiscuity, keeping the eyes and honor by dressing modestly and in accordance with Sharia values, getting married, and social sanctions through social control from elements of society.
