Abstract

This study aims to explore the integration of spiritual values ​​in the Quran into modern city planning which has been dominated by a physical approach and tends to ignore the value of nature conservation, in order to create a livable city. This study uses a qualitative method based on literature review with a maudhu'i interpretation approach to analyze relevant verses of the Quran regarding natural beauty. The results of the study show that the verses of the Quran describe the beauty of nature as a reflection of the greatness of Allah SWT by emphasizing harmony and balance (mizan). Elements of natural beauty such as water, air, green open space, and sunlight have aesthetic, ecological, and spiritual values ​​that support environmental sustainability. The concept of a good land (baldatun tayyibah) is a guide for harmonious and sustainable urban planning. This study concludes that the concept of a livable city is in line with the values ​​of the Quran which emphasize balance, welfare, and sustainable environmental management, thus creating a livable and environmentally and socially friendly city.

Abstract

The background of this research relates to the implementation of the Al-Quran teaching method in the One Village One Hafizh (Sadesha) Program in West Java Province, which aims to create 6000 hafizh-hafizhah by 2022. The program is expected to contribute to improving the quality of religious education and Quran teaching at the village level. This study aims to analyze the management of teaching methods applied in the program. The research method used is descriptive with a qualitative approach, which involves secondary data analysis in the form of annual reports and program-related documents, as well as interviews with relevant parties such as program coordinators and participants. The results showed that the management of the Sadesha program in West Java Province has been running well, in accordance with the established plan. The program uses two main strategies, namely empowerment and cadre, to achieve the target number of hafizh-hafizhah. Obstacles found related to the imbalance in the number of participants between districts/cities can be overcome through subsidies between districts/cities. The conclusion of this study is that the Sadesha program has successfully achieved its main objectives, with successes that can be used as a model for the development of similar programs in other regions. However, there are several obstacles that need to be overcome, such as the distribution of participants and honorarium issues, which require further attention to improve the program.

Abstract

In Islam, cupping is not only a physical therapy, but also has a spiritual dimension. In addition to restoring health, cupping therapy is also used as a means of maintaining health. Imam Al-Ghazali viewed happiness as a state of harmony between the body, soul, and spirit. This study aims to analyze the role of cupping therapy in stimulating happiness when viewed from Al-Ghazali's perspective. This study uses an exploratory descriptive design. The data collection techniques used are questionnaires and interviews. The instrument used is a happiness instrument that refers to Imam Al-Ghazali's theory of happiness in Kimiya Al-Sa'adah. The population and sample used are cupping therapy clients from Rumah Sehat Zahira. A total of 49 respondents filled out the questionnaire, while 3 respondents were interviewed. The analysis technique in the exploratory descriptive design was carried out in two stages, namely quantitative data analysis followed by qualitative data analysis. The quantitative data analysis technique used descriptive statistics, while the qualitative data analysis used the Miles & Huberman technique. The results of this study found that 63.3% of cupping therapy clients at RSH Zahira were in the high happiness category. The happiness felt after cupping therapy is caused by two things: first, the complaints that were previously experienced have improved; second, cupping therapy is a sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad Saw., so performing it is an act of obedience. These two things create a feeling of relief and happiness. It can be concluded that the majority of cupping clients report high levels of happiness due to the creation of a balance between physical and spiritual needs.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the strategic role of interfaith youth in Honipopu Subdistrict, Ambon City, in preserving and promoting the local wisdom of lebe bae baku sayang as a strategy for strengthening religious moderation amidst the challenges of pluralism and a history of socio-religious conflict. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design, the research draws on in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation from the interfaith youth community as primary data sources. The findings reveal that the value of lebe bae baku sayang, which means "better to love one another," is actualized by youth through interreligious activities such as communal service, community empowerment programs, and cultural festivals. These efforts significantly contribute to building social cohesion and reinforcing the peaceful collective identity of Maluku. Theoretically, this study contributes to the development of a religious moderation perspective rooted in local wisdom by emphasizing the role of youth as transformative actors who contextualize traditional values into modern socio-cultural practices. The findings hold important implications for educators, government institutions, and religious organizations in designing multicultural training programs and youth capacity-building initiatives grounded in local values. However, the study is limited by its narrow geographic scope and has yet to explore the internal dynamics of youth communities in depth. Therefore, further research in diverse locations and contexts is needed to enrich the understanding of youth roles in mainstreaming religious moderation in Indonesia.
Ragam Qira’ah dalam Surat Qaf: Studi Kritis Tafsir Al-Jamī li Ahkām Al-Qur’an Karya Imam Al-Qurthubi dan Tafsir Muḥarrar Al-Wajīz Karya Imam Ibn Athiyyah Nurmayanti, Lutfiya; AL Farizi, M. Syauqii Shalkhi

Abstract

One of the factors contributing to the diversity of Qur'anic qira’ah (readings) is the difference in dialects among various Arab tribes, which led Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to teach the Qur'an in accordance with the linguistic capabilities of his followers. This diversity did not end in that era alone but continued to attract the attention of scholars across generations. Consequently, a specialized discipline emerged to establish standards for the acceptance of qira’ah, aiming to prevent deviations. This study aims to critically examine the variations of qirāʾāt in Surah Qaf based on two classical tafsir works that extensively address the topic of qirāʾāt. The study employs a qualitative method by comparing the qirāʾāt variations in Surah Qaf from the perspectives of Tafsīr al-Jāmiʿ li Aḥkām al-Qur’ān by Imam al-Qurthubi and Tafsīr al-Muḥarrar al-Wajīz by Imam Ibn ʿAthiyyah. The findings indicate that both exegetes include not only mutawātir qirāʾāt (those with mass transmission) but also shādhdh qirāʾāt (irregular readings), accompanied by explanations for the differences. Furthermore, it is shown that al-Qurthubi tends to include more diverse qirāʾāt compared to Ibn ʿAthiyyah.

Abstract

Social media has transformed the way society interacts with religious texts, including the Qur'an. This study aims to uncover an intriguing phenomenon regarding the reception and practice of QS. Yāsīn [36]: 82 among TikTok users, particularly in relation to its use as a means of attracting affection. The study employs a 'living Qur'an' approach using qualitative methods through TikTok content observation, in-depth interviews with five informants, and document analysis. The findings reveal a significant gap between the interpretations of classical and contemporary scholars and those of TikTok users. While traditional exegetes interpret this verse as an affirmation of God's omnipotence in creation, some TikTok users view it as a formula to attract love, fulfill desires, or even as a tool for revenge. The transmission of such understanding occurs through spiritual networks rooted in Sufi teachings which then undergo a transformation in meaning and practice as they spread through social media.

Abstract

This article aims to map the typology of non-Muslim scholarship in contemporary Islamic studies by examining its institutional position within American and European universities, the fields and methodologies it employs, and the theoretical frameworks it produces. This aim arises from a critique of the stigmatized and reductionist view held by some Muslim (insider) scholars who regard non-Muslim (outsider) scholarship as a monolithic intellectual bloc. This study adopts a library research design with literature selection criteria that include the use of English- and Indonesian-language sources as dominant academic languages; a publication range from the 1980s to the 2020s as a representation of contemporary developments; the prioritization of seminal primary works and relevant secondary sources; and a focus on literature addressing Islamic studies methodologies, the insider–outsider approach, and the evolution of the revisionist school. Data were analyzed through a qualitative, descriptive-explanatory approach consisting of three methodological steps: data reduction, data presentation, and data interpretation and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that non-Muslim scholarship in Islamic studies is not monolithic but can be identified through four typologies: descriptive-traditionalist, historical-critical-traditionalist, historical-critical-revisionist, and skeptical-revisionist. These findings affirm that works and ideas from non-Muslim scholars that may appear negative should be understood as a consequence of specific methodological choices. Consequently, rejecting particular theses advanced by non-Muslim scholarship does not necessarily entail the arbitrary rejection of its broader epistemological and methodological frameworks.

Abstract

This study is based on the importance of preserving the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad SAW through tahfizh activities, particularly in the Hifzhil Hadith branch of the 40th West Sumatra Provincial Musabaqah Tilawatil Qur'an (MTQ) in 2023. The main issue of this study is the diversity of tahfizh methods used by MTQ participants. The purpose of this study is to examine the hadith tahfizh methods used by participants, analyze their strengths and weaknesses, and examine the relationship between these methods and the concept of tahammul wa al-adā’ al-ḥadis. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation of the participants, trainers, and organizers of the 40th West Sumatra MTQ in 2023. The results of this study indicate that there are 11 methods of hadith memorization used by participants in the Hifzhil Hadith category at the 40th West Sumatra Provincial MTQ in 2023, namely the talaqqi, tikrar, qira'ah, talqin, muroja'ah, tafahhum, random, grouping A'la narrators, kitabah, memorizing per sentence, and applying the content of the hadith. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. The relationship between the hadith memorization methods and the concept of tahammul wa al-ada’ al-ḥadis is functional, not structural. This means that not all memorization methods are directly rooted in the classical tahammul wa al-ada’ system, but some methods still have relevance in the spirit and basic principles of hadith narration.

Abstract

The global ecological crisis reflects not only environmental degradation but also a spiritual crisis that disrupts the sacred relationship between humans and nature. This study explores the convergence between Indonesia’s Adiwiyata School Program and Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s philosophy of Islamic eco-spirituality, aiming to reveal how environmental education can be integrated with spiritual values. Employing a qualitative Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and thematic analysis, this research systematically identifies and synthesizes findings from previous studies on both Adiwiyata and Nasr’s ecological thought. The results indicate that the Adiwiyata program contributes significantly to shaping students environmental and moral awareness through behavioral habituation, curriculum integration, and school culture development. However, its philosophical and spiritual depth remains limited compared to Nasr’s critical perspective on modernity, desanctification of nature, and the unity of science and spirituality. The synthesis proposes an integrative conceptual framework that aligns technical environmental education with spiritual transformation, forming an eco-spiritual paradigm in schooling. The study concludes that embedding Nasr’s eco-spiritual philosophy into Adiwiyata can transform it from a behavioral-based environmental program into a transformatory model of sacred ecological education. Future research is recommended to empirically test this conceptual model and to explore comparisons with other eco-spiritual thinkers.

Abstract

Achievement motivation is one of the keys to student success in education. Achievement motivation needs to be supported by a supportive environment. However, not all students are fortunate enough to receive support, especially the presence of a father in their growth process. This study aims to determine the effect of gratitude on the achievement motivation of active students majoring in Sufism and Psychotherapy who have experienced fatherlessness. This study uses a quantitative approach with a sample of 36 students majoring in Sufism and Psychotherapy who have experienced fatherlessness with several established inclusion criteria. The analysis technique used is simple regression analysis. The results of the study show a significant correlation with p = 0.001 (p <0.05) and rxy: 0.565, meaning that gratitude affects student achievement motivation. Thus, it can be concluded that the higher the level of gratitude, the higher the achievement motivation. The R square value was 0.319, indicating that gratitude contributed or influenced 31.9% of achievement motivation. The remaining 68.1% of achievement motivation was influenced by other factors not examined in this study.
