Abstract

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects not only patients’ physical conditions but also their psychological and spiritual well-being. Many patients experience anxiety, emotional instability, uncertainty, and a need to reinterpret illness within a meaningful framework. In the Islamic context, Qur’anic reflection may provide a source of spiritual reassurance and meaning-making for Muslim patients facing chronic illness. However, limited studies have examined how Qur’anic reflective practices are experienced by patients with SLE in their everyday efforts to attain inner peace. This study aims to explore the psychospiritual meanings constructed by Muslim women with SLE through their engagement with The Living Qur’an Jar as a medium of Qur’anic reflection. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, this research involved five Muslim women diagnosed with SLE in Jember, East Java. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and field notes after participants engaged with The Living Qur’an Jar for seven days. The data were analysed using phenomenological thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns of meaning in participants’ lived experiences. The findings show that participants interpreted Qur’anic reflection as a way to feel spiritually accompanied by Allah, regulate emotional distress, reinterpret illness through patience and trust in God, and transform reflective awareness into simple daily actions. Rather than functioning as a clinical therapy, The Living Qur’an Jar was experienced as a Qur’anic psychospiritual practice that supported participants in constructing meaning, emotional calm, and spiritual reassurance. This study contributes to discussions on the lived experience of Muslim patients with chronic illness by highlighting Qur’anic mindfulness as a reflective process of psychospiritual meaning-making.

Abstract

Adolescents are in a developmental phase that is vulnerable to academic, social, emotional, and spiritual pressures. In dealing with these pressures, religious coping can serve as an adaptive strategy that helps students find meaning, gain calmness, and build spiritual support. This study aims to describe the level of religious coping among students of SMPN 1 Bontonompo Selatan based on age, gender, grade level, and participation in religious organizations. This research employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. The sample consisted of 90 students aged 12–15 years selected using purposive sampling. The instrument used was a religious coping scale adapted from Savira et al. and based on Pargament’s theory of religious coping. The data were analyzed descriptively using JASP. The results showed that students’ religious coping was generally in the moderate category, with a percentage of 63.3%. Based on students’ characteristics, religious coping showed variations, although most students remained in the moderate category. Students who participated in religious organizations had a higher proportion in the high category than those who did not. In addition, positive religious coping had a higher mean score than negative religious coping. These findings indicate that students have begun to use religious values as a strategy for dealing with pressure, but they still need reinforcement through guidance and counseling services based on religious values.

Abstract

The Lelang Lebak Lebung (inland water auction) tradition is a local wisdom that functions not only as an inland fisheries management system but also institutionalizes a harmonious relationship between humans, nature, and spirituality. This study aims to analyze the social practices of the Lelang Lebak Lebung tradition in Baturaja Village and to identify the Islamic ecotheological values embedded within it. Employing a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach, data were gathered through interviews, observation, and documentation involving customary leaders, religious figures, pengemin (auction winners), and the general public. Data analysis was conducted in two stages: a sociological approach to deconstruct the dimensions of the tradition's social practices, followed by an analysis of Fazlun M. Khalid’s Islamic Ecotheology, further reinforced by Travis Hirschi’s Social Control Theory. The findings reveal that this tradition operates circularly through four main dimensions: a consensus-based auction system, multi-sectoral oversight, environmental conservation through the protection of the swamp's biological cycle, and communal harvesting (bekarang). Theologically, these practices reflect the pillars of Tawhid (nature as a sacred trust), Khalifah (institutionalization of management responsibility), Mizan (synchronization of economy with the hydrological cycle), and Anti-Fasad (enforcement of sanctions against destructive fishing gear). Furthermore, community adherence to customary rules and conservation practices is reinforced by social control mechanisms involving attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief.  This study concludes that the Lelang Lebak Lebung tradition has successfully endured as a stronghold for aquatic ecosystem defense because it is sustained by an Islamic spiritual anchor that integrates religious rituals into the local economic system.

Abstract

Ethical misconduct that continues to occur within law enforcement institutions suggests that moral development cannot rely solely on rules and sanctions, but must also address character formation from within. This study aims to analyze the Islamic ethical concept of Ibn Miskawayh and examine its relevance to the professional ethics development practices of the Pangandaran Police through the Spiritual and Mental Development Program (Binrohtal). This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design. Data were collected through observation, interviews with seven informants from three groups consisting of leadership, Da'i Kamtibmas, and police officers, as well as documentation, and were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive analysis model. The findings indicate that Ibn Miskawayh's ethical framework, centered on the balance of the three faculties of the soul, the principle of the middle way (al-wasat), and the four cardinal virtues, demonstrates clear alignment with the values cultivated through the Binrohtal program. Wisdom is reflected in officers' more deliberative decision-making, courage is evident in their steadfastness under pressure without losing self-control, self-restraint is seen in their ability to resist the temptation of power abuse, and justice appears in their commitment to remaining trustworthy even when facing conflicts of interest. This study concludes that Ibn Miskawayh's ethical framework is relevant as a philosophical foundation for strengthening professional ethics development in law enforcement. It is recommended that Binrohtal materials be standardized, periodic structured evaluations be conducted, and similar studies be extended to various regional police units across Indonesia.

Abstract

The presence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shifted from being merely an information-retrieval tool to becoming a space for intrapersonal dialogue with the potential to support adolescent mental health in the digital era. This study aims to examine how adolescents interpret and utilize AI as a medium for self-reflection (muhasabah) in an effort to maintain their mental health. This research employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, involving three subjects ranging from early to late adolescence (aged 13–22 years) who actively use AI in their daily lives. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that the space for intrapersonal dialogue with AI emerges organically rather than being deliberately planned, and is driven by a sense of safety, as AI is perceived as non-judgmental. This interaction facilitates a process of muraqabah (self-monitoring), which subsequently develops into muhasabah (honest self-evaluation) and culminates in mujahadah (a genuine impetus to change), in accordance with the stages formulated by Al-Ghazali. All three subjects also positioned AI within healthy boundaries, such that AI did not replace human relationships but instead strengthened individuals' capacity to recognize and manage themselves. These findings affirm that AI can serve as a meaningful medium for self-reflection (muhasabah) in supporting adolescent mental health, while also offering a novel perspective that integrates psychology with Islamic values in the utilization of digital technology.
