Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital algorithms has significantly changed the way knowledge is produced, distributed, and legitimized in the digital era. This situation raises ethical and epistemological challenges, particularly in religious contexts, where the truth and authority of information have a strong moral dimension. This study aims to formulate an integration between the principle of Qur'anic tabayyun with the concept of algorithmic ethics to build a more critical, transparent, and responsible approach to the use of AI. This study uses a literature study approach by analyzing scientific articles obtained through the Publish or Perish and Elsevier databases, with a publication range of 2015-2026. The analysis process was carried out through the stages of identification, selection, and synthesis of research relevant to the focus of the study. The results show that the integration of the concept of Qur'anic tabayyun into the algorithmic ethics framework is relevant to ensure the process of verification, caution, and responsibility in the management of information generated by AI. This research is expected to provide a conceptual contribution to the development of a technology ethics framework based on Qur'anic values while enriching the discourse on the transformation of the authority of religious knowledge in the era of artificial intelligence.

Abstract

This article investigates the gendered ethics of sexuality in Q.S. Yūsuf [12]:23–24 through Sahiron Syamsuddin's ma'na-cum-maghza hermeneutical framework, which integrates textual meaning with evolving ethical significance. Contemporary social discourses frequently construct sexuality as a burden borne by women, casting them as primary sexual objects and assigning responsibility for sexual misconduct to their bodies and behavior. Traditional interpretations of the Yūsuf–Zulaykhā episode have often reinforced this imbalance by foregrounding female desire while minimizing male sexual agency. Through a linguistic, contextual, and intratextual analysis (ma'na), followed by an exploration of historical, contemporary, and ideal significances (maghza), this study argues that the Qur'anic narrative actually affirms a more equitable ethical vision. The text acknowledges both Yūsuf and Zulaykhā as sexual subjects possessing desire and moral agency, while distinguishing them based on the ethical management of that desire rather than on gender. The findings demonstrate that: (1) sexual inclination is a universal human condition rooted in fiṭrah; (2) moral accountability applies equally to men and women; and (3) wrongdoing arises not from sexuality itself, but from its coercive or unjust enactment. Thus, the narrative offers a Qur'anic foundation for gender-equitable sexual ethics, challenging patriarchal interpretations that stigmatize female desire and absolve male responsibility.

Abstract

The phenomenon of career families in contemporary society often reduces the intensity of direct parental involvement in children's religious and moral education. Although numerous studies have discussed Islamic parenting and family education, limited research has specifically examined the Qur'anic foundation for children's education within the context of career families through a thematic interpretation of the Qur'an. This study aims to explore the educational values contained in Surah Luqman verses 13-19 and to analyze their relevance as a conceptual basis for Islamic religious education in career families. This research employs a qualitative library research method using a thematic tafsir (tafsir maudhu'i) approach. The analysis draws upon classical and contemporary Qur'anic interpretations, particularly the works of Ibn Katsir and Quraish Shihab, to identify and synthesize the educational principles embedded in the verses. The findings reveal four major educational dimensions: the inculcation of tauhid as a spiritual foundation, the habituation of worship practices to develop discipline and responsibility, the internalization of Qur'anic ethics to nurture emotional and moral character, and the cultivation of social awareness through the principle of amr ma'ruf nahi munkar. These values provide a comprehensive framework for children's education that remains relevant even in families where parental time and interaction may be limited due to professional commitments. This study contributes to the discourse on Islamic education by offering a Qur'an-based conceptual framework for parenting in career families, thereby demonstrating that Qur'anic educational values can function as adaptive moral guidance in responding to contemporary family dynamics.

Abstract

Contemporary Qur'anic studies have been increasingly shaped by contextual, literary, and hermeneutical approaches, yet relatively little attention has been given to how classical transmitted exegesis continues to function as a rigorous interpretive system in modern scholarship. While Ibn Kathīr is among the most widely referenced classical exegetes in the Muslim world, his tafsīr is often treated as a traditional authority rather than critically examined as a structured exegetical methodology with contemporary relevance. This article seeks to fill that gap by reassessing the textual authority and exegetical method of Salafī tafsīr through the interpretive framework of Ibn Kathīr. Using a qualitative library research design, this study analyzes primary classical sources, especially Tafsīr al-Qur'ān al-'Aẓīm, alongside modern scholarly discussions on Salafī exegesis, hadith-based interpretation, and contemporary Qur'anic thought. The analysis is conducted through descriptive, intertextual, and conceptual approaches to examine the epistemic hierarchy of Ibn Kathīr's method, including the use of intra-Qur'anic interpretation, Prophetic traditions, Companion reports, linguistic analysis, and critical engagement with Isrā'īliyyāt. The study finds that Ibn Kathīr's exegetical method is not merely a conservative reliance on transmitted materials, but a disciplined hermeneutical model that combines textual fidelity, source criticism, and interpretive coherence. His tafsīr reflects a structured balance between naqlī authority and controlled rational inquiry, making it especially relevant in the face of contemporary challenges such as interpretive subjectivism, decontextualized scriptural readings, and the rapid spread of unverified religious knowledge in digital environments. At the global level, this study contributes to contemporary Qur'anic studies by demonstrating that classical Salafī exegesis can still offer a productive methodological framework for discussions of textual authority, authenticity, and responsible interpretation. It also provides a critical intellectual resource for broader debates on religion, knowledge, and hermeneutics in an increasingly plural and digitized world.

Abstract

In a systematic semantic and applied analysis, this study investigates the transfer of connotative meaning in the English translations of the meanings of the Holy Qur'an. Instead of applying an instrument that treats Qur'anic connotation in isolation as subjective or impressionistic, the research introduces and operates a three-level gradational measurement instrument (weak, moderate, and strong) to measure the strength with which translations preserve rhetorical power, symbolic complexity, and pragmatic aim. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, the study employs semantic analysis, rhetorical analysis, as well as contextual-pragmatic interpretation, to compare verses in selected Qur'anic texts with their English translations. This study reveals that comparatively weak connotative transfer frequently corresponds with literal, denotative translation styles in which speakers use surface lexical matching of expressions while minimizing imagery and discourse-level connotative meaning. Meaningfully, moderate transfer is partial success in communicating emotional or imagistic impact, while strong transfer reflects the symbolic, doctrinal, and ideological impact of the Qur'anic text by interpreting based on knowledgeable decision making. The study thus establishes and demonstrates the extent to which Qur'anic connotative meaning can be extracted and disentangled from subjective interpretation judgments, and that analysis for interpretation is a method of tackling this problem, which is currently an inadequate area of translation studies in Qur'an. The results provide a theoretically-grounded foundation for translation studies that enables comparison in translation work and provide an empirical basis for translators, researchers, and educators dealing with semantic fidelity and pragmatic adequacy during translation of sacred texts as they practice their profession.

Abstract

Global and national marine ecological crises, particularly coastal degradation and water pollution in areas such as the southern coast of West Java, demand a comprehensive approach rooted not only in technical regulations but also in strong theological foundations. Contemporary environmental policies often experience a gap in integrating orthodox spiritual values, resulting in a lack of sociological resonance among Muslim communities. Modern ecotheology studies tend to use liberal hermeneutic approaches that often reduce the authenticity of classical exegesis. Therefore, this study aims to actualize the concept of taskhir (the subjugation of nature) in Ibn Kathir's exegesis of Surah An-Nahl verse 14 as a marine conservation ethical framework aligned with the pure understanding of the salaf generation. This research seeks to answer three main questions: (1) What is the textual analysis of QS. An-Nahl: 14 in Ibn Kathir's Tafsir? (2) What is the philosophical essence of the Taskhir concept according to the salaf understanding? and (3) How is the practical actualization of this concept within the marine conservation framework in Indonesia? Using a qualitative library research method with a tahlili exegesis approach, this study analyzes the linguistic structure and theological meaning of the verse through primary literature and a systematic review of reputable journals. The main findings indicate that theologically, the sea is subjugated by Allah, not absolutely conquered by humans (deconstructing anthropocentrism). The utilization of marine resources for both food (lahman tariyyah) and aesthetics (hilyah) is strictly bound by moral prerequisites in the form of gratitude and the prohibition of fasad (destruction). The Result affirms that the salaf's understanding of ecology is theocentric, where marine conservation is not merely a secular ecological demand, but a manifestation of monotheism and worship. Actualizing these values provides an essential philosophical and ethical foundation for marine spatial planning policies (RZWP3K) and sustainable coastal management.
