Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Design Thinking in STEM education within an Islamic context, focusing on thermal packaging as a learning module. The research examines differences in STEM Interest, Design Thinking skills, and Subject Knowledge across 7th and 8th-grade students, as well as the relationships between these constructs. A quantitative approach was employed, involving 64 preparatory students from an institute of religious studies in Qatar. Participants engaged in a Design Thinking-based STEM workshop on thermal packaging, followed by a comprehensive survey assessing the three key constructs. The Independent-Samples Mann-Whitney U Test revealed no significant differences between grade levels for STEM Interest (U = 424.500, p = .434), Design Thinking skills (U = 494.000, p = .843), or Subject Knowledge (U = 469.500, p = .873). However, bivariate correlation analysis showed strong positive relationships among the constructs for both grade levels. For 7th-grade students, STEM Interest and Design Thinking Skills were strongly correlated (r = 0.856), while 8th-grade students showed a robust correlation between Design Thinking Skills and Subject Knowledge (r = 0.884). These findings suggest that integrating Design Thinking approaches in STEM education within an Islamic context can effectively enhance students' interest, skills, and knowledge simultaneously. The study highlights the potential of Design Thinking-based STEM workshops to create a synergistic learning environment that aligns with Islamic principles and values while preparing students for contemporary challenges. The research contributes to the growing body of literature on culturally responsive STEM education and provides insights for educators seeking to bridge traditional Islamic teachings with modern technological advancements.

Abstract

In the last few decades, interpretation with a contextual approach has begun to occupy a central position in the paradigm of interpreting the Qur'an. This is because the classical method of interpreting the Qur'an which is static and more textual is considered no longer compatible in responding to the reality of the era which is developing very complexly. This paper utilizes the library research method to examine the epistemological reasoning of contextual interpretation. The results of this study found that contextual interpretation is a form of approach in interpreting the Qur'an which starts from the argument that every text has a context that binds the meaning behind it. Thus, the meaning of a text of revelation (God's message) will only be found if an interpreter has a deep understanding of its context, then translated and elaborated based on the reality faced. In a different expression, contextual interpretation cannot be separated from the understanding of three horizons, namely between text, context, and contextualization.

Abstract

This article will examine a variety of topics within QS. al-Nāzi'āt (79), such as the sura's word choices and linguistic characteristics, its structure and literary forms, its place in the Qur'an chronologically, its similarities to other suras from the same period of revelation in terms of phraseology, theme, and formality, its intertextual connections to some earlier traditions, and an analysis of any possible later redactional intervention. This article argues the sura's intratextual connections among its verses make it evident that all of its sections and subsections are interwoven with one another, proven by the tripartite structure that it has, the main theme of the sura, rhyme changes, and the occurrences of some unique phrases that mark the transition between sub-sections. Furthermore, QS. al-Nāzi'āt's intertextual links to previous traditions may have helped the first audience in the context of the sura's revelation better understand its core lessons, given their familiarity with ancient Arabic and Judeo-Christian literature. Finally, it is unlikely that verse 33 should be a later redactional intervention (as Angelika Neuwirth has contended) because some intratextual analysis of the sura reveals the opposite.

Abstract

This research article delves into the intricate dynamics of polygamy in Islam, emphasizing its potential as a support system among co-wives. Traditionally viewed with controversy, especially in Western societies, this study challenges such perceptions by highlighting how polygamous arrangements can foster mutual support, shared responsibilities, and companionship. By examining these relationships through religious, cultural, and social lenses, the study reveals how polygamy can empower women within the framework of Islamic teachings, transforming traditional familial roles and enhancing their agency. Women's choices to enter polygamous marriages often reflect a complex interplay of factors, combining strategic decision-making for financial or social stability with deeply rooted religious motivations and commitments. The research utilizes diverse narratives from a global Facebook group, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of polygamy's dynamics and benefits. This perspective underscores polygamy's role as a supportive alliance among women, contributing significantly to broader discussions on gender dynamics and marital structures within both Islamic and global contexts.

Abstract

The Quran contains the concept of balanced nutrition in several of its verses, including in Surah Al-Baqarah 168, Surah Al-A'raf verse 31 and Surah Abasa verse 24. The interpretation of Surah Abasa verse 24 and its relation to nutrition there are still differences among scholars of interpretation. This research uses a qualitative approach, this type of research is descriptive analytical. The term linguistics refers to the science that studies language and analyzes it scientifically. The reinterpretation theory used in this research is Abdullah Saeed's theory. The word nazara and its derivations have a dominant meaning related to the activity of the five senses, namely vision. However, not only limited to physical observation, this seeing activity also involves the heart and mind, which makes it more than just ordinary observation. The word tha'am and its various derivatives are mentioned 48 times in the Quran, and cover various aspects related to food, including the type, method of consumption, and its role in daily life. In this study, researchers want to provide a reinterpretation of the 2 words so that the meaning of the verse becomes an order to humans to pay attention to the nutritional content of their food. The order that humans pay more attention to their food patterns and portions so as to avoid various diseases due to unbalanced nutrition.

Abstract

Technological advancements are increasingly shaping daily life. This includes the dissemination of information, with Muslims utilizing technology for Islamic da'wah, particularly Qur'anic interpretation (Tafsīr). While traditionally accessed through physical prints, Tafsīr is now readily available on websites. This study analyzes the sources, methods, and patterns of interpretation employed by http://muslimah.or.id. Employing a qualitative research method with a descriptive-qualitative approach, the study reveals several key features of the website's Tafsīr approach. Interpretations focus on individual letters, specific themes, and contemporary Muslim women's issues. Authors cite reference sources, and interpretations are diverse, reflecting at least four distinct methods. The website incorporates both traditional (bi al-Maʼthūr) and rational (bi al-Ra'y) methods, drawing from classical Tafsīr works like Jalalain, at-Ṭabarī, and Ibn Kathīr. Notably, the website utilizes thematic (Mawḍūʻī) and comparative (Muqāran) approaches. The website prioritizes socio-literary (Adabī ijtimāʻī) aspects, focusing on linguistic, literary, and socio-cultural contexts. However, the inconsistent nature of interpretations due to the website's multiple contributors presents a potential challenge.

Abstract

The holy book of the Quran has an informative and performative function. The informative function refers to the purpose of conveying the message or information of the Qur'an text itself. While the performative function refers to how the Qur'an can create emotional, spiritual, and aesthetic impacts that go beyond simply reading texts. Qur'an calligraphy includes two functions at once, namely when people use calligraphy as a means of conveying revelation and expression of Islamic art, for example Qur'an calligraphy which decorates many mosques around the community. The Iska Grand Mosque in Sukoharjo is known as one of the mosques decorated with Qur'an calligraphy, beautifying every corner of the building. This situation provides an opportunity for the community around the mosque to explore the meaning implied in the art of Qur'an calligraphy. This study centers on how the community responds to and accepts the existence of Qur'an calligraphy in the mosque. The purpose of this investigation is to find out the responses or views of readers and calligraphy connoisseurs at the Iska Mayang Sukoharjo Grand Mosque. This study adopts a qualitative method through a descriptive approach to reveal data in depth (Living Qur'an) which is supported by various literature sources. The findings of this study reveal that calligraphy contributes to linking the interpretation of the content of Qur'anic verses with aesthetic elements, as well as providing an overview of how people judge and enjoy the art of calligraphy at the Iska Grand Mosque. The calligraphy written is a type of khat tsulus in the form of verse writing from Surah Al-Baqarah verse 255, verses 43-44, and Al-Mu'minun verses 1-4.

Abstract

So far, there are still differences in interpretation and implementation in various places about women's worship in mosques. This study aims to explain and show the reading of Jasser Auda's system theory in legal verses related to women and mosques. The method used in this study uses the library research method by collecting information and data from Jasser Auda's books and website, previous research results, and various journal articles related to the problem being researched. As a result, the reading of system theory in legal verses about women and mosques through the six features offered, namely. The cognitive element in understanding legal verses related to women and mosques, in Auda's view there are dozens of verses in the Qur'an related to mosques whose content motivates Muslims, both men and women, to often go to mosques to get religious guidance, nur/divine light and knowledge. The element of wholeness (Al-Kulliyyah) Audah in determining the legal provisions about women and mosques is comprehensive, by exploring all verses related to mosques and followed by explanations from the Hadiths of the Prophet. Third, the element of openness (Opennes/al-Infitahiyyah. is carried out by Audah by displaying various opinions about the permissibility or prohibition of visiting the mosque with their respective arguments. Openness in the context of women and mosques also emphasizes that the relevant laws must take into account social and technological conditions.

Abstract

Communication is a fundamental aspect of human relations and interactions, encompassing both verbal and nonverbal elements. While much emphasis is placed on verbal communication, nonverbal cues such as body language, facial expressions, and gestures often carry significant weight in conveying messages. The study of nonverbal communication has garnered attention across various disciplines, including psychology, sociology, and anthropology. However, the exploration of nonverbal communication through the lens of religious texts, particularly the Qur'an, remains relatively underexplored. This paper seeks to fill this gap by examining the teachings of Surah Luqman, a chapter in the Qur'an that offers profound wisdom on ethical conduct and human relationships. By integrating Islamic exegesis with psychological theories and contemporary research on nonverbal communication, this study aims to provide a holistic understanding of the role of body language and other nonverbal cues in fostering positive human relations.The analysis will focus on how nonverbal communication, as implied in the verses, influences human relations and the ethical principles that govern such interactions. The results of the study show that, in contemporary times, the relevance of these principles remains strong, as they provide a framework for addressing modern communication challenges. By adhering to the Islamic guidelines of honesty, respect, and empathy in communication, individuals can cultivate positive interpersonal relations that contribute to personal and communal well-being.
