Abstract

This study investigates the legality, socio-environmental implications, and policy relevance of imported second-hand clothing (thrifting import) using an integrative theoretical framework that explicitly combines ecotheology, fiqh sosial Kiai Sahal Mahfudh, and fiqh muamalah. The research addresses the central problem of how thrifting imports intersect with Islamic legal norms, sustainability ethics, and state regulations amidst rising concerns over waste, illegal trade, and threats to local industries. Using qualitative library research supported by hermeneutic and content analysis methods, this study examines classical and contemporary fiqh sources, Qur'anic exegesis on muamalah, literature on circular economy and sustainable consumption, as well as regulatory documents and statistical reports. The findings show that thrifting import does not fulfill key requirements of a valid sale (ma‘qūd ‘alayh), contains elements of gharar and bāṭil, contributes to ecosystem degradation, and disrupts the textile industry. The study also formulates policy implications by proposing a maqāṣid-oriented regulatory design, including empowerment strategies for affected small traders, strengthening domestic industry, and environmental sustainability measures. These recommendations highlight the importance of integrating Islamic legal ethics with national economic and ecological policies.

Abstract

This comparative study analyzes the relevance of the methodology of the interpretation of two Kalimantan scholars, Sheikh Muhammad Arsyad al-Banjari (pre-modern) and Muhammad Basiuni Imran(transitional era), with the framework of muhammadiyah interpretation (modern), focusing on two problem formulations: (1) the intellectual relationship and methodological relevance between the three, and (2) the relevance of their interpretation methods to the development of religion in Kalimantan. With a qualitative method based on literature studies and content analysis, this study finds that there is an intellectual common thread in the spirit of tajdid, the use of rationality, and contextualization, but with fundamental differences in the institutional model in which Muhammadiyah has succeeded in building a sustainable collective model, in contrast to the individual model of the two ulama. The implications of this research offer a historical perspective for the development of a contextual and moderate Indonesian Islamic discourse, as well as conclude that the thoughts of the two scholars have a deep compatibility with Muhammadiyah, whose excellence lies in the ability to institutionalize the intellectual heritage adaptively.

Abstract

The protection of women's dignity from baseless accusations remains critical from classical to modern times. This study examines Q.S. An-Nur verses 6-9 concerning li'an using Fazlur Rahman's double movement hermeneutic to uncover ethical principles protecting women's dignity actualized in contemporary contexts. This research aims to analyze Fazlur Rahman's hermeneutic framework, examine classical mufassir interpretations of li'an, and contextualize women's dignity protection through the double movement perspective. Through qualitative literature review, this study employs two movements: understanding the 7th-century patriarchal Arab context and extracting universal moral values for modern challenges. Findings reveal a revolutionary divine intervention, transforming women from accused objects to active legal subjects with equal rights. Five implicit principles emerge: dignity protection ('ird), procedural justice, defamation prevention, nasab protection, and disgrace covering (sitr). These principles address contemporary issues including digital defamation, intimate content distribution, and social media slander through strengthening presumption of innocence, guaranteeing defense rights, protecting privacy, and imposing strict sanctions against false accusations. This research advances ethical Qur'anic interpretation methodology, formulates five previously unarticulated ethical principles, and provides a concrete framework for protecting women's dignity in the digital era, affirming the Qur'an's responsive ethical paradigm across time.

Abstract

This study examines Ali al-Sayis's stance toward the Seven Qira'at in Tafsir ayat al-Ahkam, with a focus on methodological analysis and its implications for the interpretation of Islamic legal verses. The primary issue addressed is the lack of in-depth research on how Ali al-Sayis integrates the variant readings of the Seven Qira'at into the process of legal derivation (istinbaṭ al-ahkam), despite the significant potential of qira'at in shaping the meaning of legal verses. The study aims to critically assess Ali al-Sayis's approach and methodology in responding to the Seven Qira'at and to analyze their relevance and contribution to the construction of contemporary Islamic law. This research employs a qualitative–descriptive method using library research techniques, with Tafsir ayat al-Ahkam as the primary source and Manna' al-Qattan's principles of the Seven Qira'at as the analytical framework. The findings show that al-Sayis adopts a selective yet open approach toward sound qira'at, adhering to the criteria of linguistic eloquence (fasahah), conformity with the 'Uthmanic script (rasm 'Uthmani), and the authority of the transmission chain (sanad). This approach not only demonstrates al-Sayis's methodological depth but also offers important implications for the development of contemporary Qur'anic studies—particularly in positioning qira'at as linguistic instruments that enrich interpretation without violating textual authority. Consequently, the study reinforces the understanding that qira'at can play a significant role in reconstructing modern fiqh in a more adaptive, contextual, and responsive manner to the needs of the present era.

Abstract

This study examines the process of instilling the values of religious moderation through learning tafsir in Islamic boarding schools in Pekanbaru City, Riau Province. Departing from the role of Islamic boarding schools as educational institutions as well as centers for character formation, this study highlights that violent acts are still found that show the weak internalization of the value of moderation. Using a qualitative approach, this study found that Qur'anic verses with moderate nuances-such as Surah al-Fatihah (1, 3), al-Baqarah (11–13), al-Furqan (63), Fushilat (34), al-Hujurat (9), and al-Mujadilah (11)-were transmitted through the subject of tafsir. The results of the study show that the internalization of values is carried out through three stages: textual understanding of verses, strengthening values through discussions and case studies, and habituation of behavior in the life of Islamic boarding schools. However, there are variations in implementation between Islamic boarding schools; Some have applied contextual and participatory approaches, while others still use textual lecture methods that lack critical reflection. This study has limitations on limited area coverage and no long-term observations. Nevertheless, these findings provide important implications for the development of a more contextual and effective interpretation pedagogy in building a moderate culture in the Islamic boarding school environment.

Abstract

This study examines the function of the Rateb Siribee tradition as a spiritual rehabilitation model for former drug addicts in Aceh, addressing the limitations of conventional recovery programs that primarily emphasize medical and psychological treatment. Although formal rehabilitation initiatives have been widely implemented, many former users continue to experience social stigma, emotional distress, and susceptibility to relapse upon reentering their communities. Existing research has largely focused on medical and psychological interventions, while studies investigating local spiritual traditions particularly Rateb Siribee as a structured rehabilitation model remain scarce. Scholarship on Rateb Siribee itself predominantly highlights its theological and socio-cultural dimensions, leaving a clear gap regarding its relevance to addiction recovery. To address this gap, the present study aims to: (1) identify the underlying reasons for utilizing Rateb Siribee as a rehabilitation medium; (2) describe its ritual implementation among former addicts; and (3) analyze the spiritual, psychological, and social meanings constructed by participants through their engagement in this tradition. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving religious leaders, mentors, and former addicts in Meulaboh. The findings reveal that Rateb Siribee supports a holistic recovery process through three interrelated forms of meaning-making: strengthening spiritual awareness inspired by QS. Ar-Ra'd: 28; enhancing psychological resilience by improving emotional regulation and reducing anxiety; and fostering social reintegration through acceptance within the dhikr community. Collectively, these experiences cultivate motivation, self-discipline, and a renewed sense of belonging. The study concludes that Rateb Siribee offers a culturally rooted and humanistic rehabilitation model that complements existing approaches and contributes to the development of Islamic-based recovery strategies in Aceh.
How Does the Qur'anic Concept of Sunlight, Interpreted by Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, Integrate Theological Wisdom and Scientific Understanding in Sustaining Life? Munawar, Ali Mahfuz; Halimatussadiah, H; Rochmad, R; Suharto, Ahmad; Muttaqin, Muhamad Shofwan

Abstract

Studies of the sun in Qur'anic scholarship have largely been fragmented and reductionist, focusing mainly on astronomical calculations or physical characteristics while neglecting the broader influence of sunlight on living beings and its theological significance. Existing research often treats the sun as a cosmic object or a temporal marker, without integrating classical Qur'anic exegesis with contemporary scientific knowledge. This condition reveals an epistemological gap between traditional tafsīr studies and modern scientific discourse, particularly within thematic Qur'anic interpretation rooted in the intellectual legacy of Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī. This study aims to examine the Qur'anic concept of sunlight through the exegetical framework of Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī, analyze its influence on humans, animals, and plants, and explore the divine wisdom behind its creation by engaging with modern scientific perspectives. Methodologically, this research employs a qualitative library-based design using a thematic (tafsīr mawdhū‘ī) approach combined with descriptive-analytical analysis. The primary source is al-Rāzī's Mafātīḥ al-Ghayb, which is critically contextualized with contemporary scientific literature in ecology, health sciences, and natural sciences. The findings indicate that al-Rāzī conceptualizes sunlight not merely as a physical source of illumination, but as a multidimensional divine sign. Sunlight functions as a source of life energy, a regulator of biological rhythms, a determinant of time, a contributor to human health, a driver of animal ecosystems, and a fundamental factor in photosynthesis and plant growth. These insights demonstrate a strong conceptual resonance between al-Rāzī's rational-philosophical exegesis and modern scientific principles, despite differing epistemological foundations. At the global level, this study contributes to strengthening religion-science dialogue, promoting ecological consciousness, supporting environmental sustainability, and advancing a holistic ethical framework for understanding the interconnected relationship between humanity, nature, and the Divine.

Abstract

Mental health problems are an issue that is getting more and more attention in various parts of the world, including in Indonesia. Based on data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, the prevalence of People with Mental Disorders (ODGJ) continues to increase every year. ODGJ, which includes individuals with severe mental disorders such as schizophrenia, requires not only medical care but also a holistic approach, including spiritual support. Although there are various studies on spiritual therapy, there are almost no studies that examine the implementation of Qur'anic therapy in the context of pesantren-based rehabilitation institutions in Indonesia, especially those that apply the concept of living Qur'an. This study aims to analyze and explain the implementation of Qur'anic verses as spiritual therapy for the recovery of ODGJ at the Daarul Hakim Social Welfare Institution in Sumber Village, Kradenan District, Blora Regency, which is a special Islamic boarding school for ODGJ that receives support from the Indonesian government. The results of the study show that the implementation of Qur'anic verses is realized through several forms of spiritual therapy, such as ruqyah syar'iyyah, recitation of certain surahs, dhikr, and structured religious assistance. These practices not only function as a method of spiritual healing, but also as a means of fostering inner peace, reducing psychological symptoms, and improving the self-control ability of ODGJ students. Thus, the application of Qur'anic verses as spiritual therapy has a significant contribution to the recovery process of ODGJ and is an important foundation to be studied further in the context of socio-religious institutions, filling the research gap related to the integration of Islamic spirituality in pesantren-based mental rehabilitation.
Metaphors of Prophetic Stories in the Quran: A Study of Ahmad Muhammad Khalafullah's Imagination with al-Ghazali's Epistemology Kumala, Salisa Wardah; Riyadi, Abdul Kadir

Abstract

This study examines the interpretation of the stories of the prophets in the Qur'an through an epistemological critique of Ahmad Muhammad Khalafullah's literary-historical approach using al-Ghazālī's theory of imagination (al-khayāl). Although there has been extensive discussion of the narratives of the prophets in the Qur'an and literary approaches, previous studies have rarely examined the epistemological implications of imagination within Khalafullah's literary-historical framework, particularly in relation to the ontological truth of revelation. Khalafullah places the imaginative dimension in Qur'anic stories as a literary element that does not depend on historical truth, thus raising debates about the ontological status of revelatory stories. Meanwhile, al-Ghazālī, through Mishkāt al-Anwār and Iḥyā' ‘Ulūm al-Dīn, asserts that imagination is an epistemic medium that connects sensory reality and spiritual essence, so it cannot be reduced to fiction. This study aims to critically reassess Khalafullah's position by employing al-Ghazali's hierarchical epistemology of truth. This study employs a qualitative literature based method with descriptive critical analysis of primary works of Khalafullah and al-Ghazali, supported by contemporary Quranic studies. The findings demosntrate that al-Ghazālī's epistemology of al-khayāl offers a corrective framework to Khalafullah's reductionist tendency by situating Qur'anic narratives within a layered structure of truth encompassing literal, moral, and spiritual dimensions. This integrative framework preserves the pedagogical function of imagination without negating the ontological status of revelation. This study contributes to strengthening contemporary interpretation methodology by offering an integrative perspective between literary aspects and revelatory truth. At an international level, the study offers a conceptual alternative for ongoing debates on scripture, narrative, and imagination across Islamic Studies, religious, hermeneuthics, and comparative theology.

Abstract

Contemporary Islamic education in Indonesia faces a critical challenge: students master Qur'anic recitation technically but struggle to comprehend, internalize, and apply Qur'anic values in daily life, reflecting a problematic textual-contextual dichotomy in pedagogical practice. This study addresses this gap by developing an Integrated Tilawah Framework-a transformative model of Qur'anic literacy-through thematic analysis of tilawah interpretations across five authoritative tafsir works (Al-Tabari, Ibn Kathir, Al-Qurtubi, Al-Mishbah, Al-Azhar) using Braun & Clarke's Methodology. Analysis of two key verses (Q.S. Al Baqarah:121; Al-Muzzammil:4) identified four integrated dimensions: Authentic Transmission Preservation (16.7%), Deep Meaning Comprehension (41.7%), Spiritual Value Internalization (16.7%), and Transformative Practical Application (25.0%). The framework demonstrates substantial synergy with Paulo Freire's critical literacy theory and Ron Miller's holistic education, offering a paradigm shift from technical-passive toward transformative-active Qur'anic engagement. This synthesis of classical Islamic hermeneutics with contemporary critical pedagogy provides educators a comprehensive, culturally-rooted blueprint for curriculum development in Islamic educational contexts. Expert judgment validation is recommended to confirm implementation feasibility. The findings reveal four core themes: authentic transmission preservation, deep meaning comprehension, spiritual value internalization, and transformative practical application. These themes are synthesized into a hierarchical and cyclical framework that reconceptualizes tilawah as transformative Qur'anic literacy rather than mere recitation. Globally, this framework offers a theoretically grounded and pedagogically operational model that contributes to discussions on religious literacy, critical pedagogy, and holistic education. It provides a transferable reference for Qur'anic education across diverse cultural contexts, promoting faith-based learning that is intellectually rigorous, spiritually meaningful, and socially transformative.
