Abstract

The phenomenon of brain rot, which arises from the rapid, superficial, and excessive consumption of digital content, has become a serious problem that affects the cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual quality of the younger generation. This study aims to examine the relevance of the concept of uzlah to modern digital detox practices and to offer a Qur'an-based digital detox concept inspired by the concept of uzlah as a digital literacy strategy in dealing with the phenomenon of brain rot. The focus of the study is directed at understanding digital detox as a form of uzlah today. This research is a library-based qualitative study. Primary data sources include Quranic verses related to the concept of uzlah and their interpretations in classical and contemporary tafsir. Secondary data consists of peer-reviewed journal articles, academic books, and prior studies on digital behavior, digital detoxification, and brain damage. Data were collected through documentation and a systematic literature review, then analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis. The results of the study show that uzlah contains three main principles, namely tazkiyatun nafs (purification of the self), tafakkur (contemplation), and mujāhadah an-nafs (control of the desires). All three are in line with the needs of modern humans to restore balance in their lives amid technological pressures. The integration of uzlah values into the practice of digital detox has given rise to a new paradigm called Qur'anic-based digital uzlah, which is a spiritual approach that combines technological awareness with divine values. This paradigm positions digital uzlah as a form of transformative Qur'anic literacy, encompassing four stages: intention (an-niyyah), selective withdrawal (at-ta’zil),  purification (tazkiyah), reflection (tafakkur), and reintegration (i‘ādat al-‘amal). Through these stages, humans are guided to use technology consciously, ethically, and spiritually, making digital activities part of their devotion to Allah. Thus, uzlah as a Qur'anic-based digital detox paradigm is not intended to distance oneself from the modern world, but rather as a spiritual strategy to rearrange the relationship between humans and technology, themselves, and God.

Abstract

The phenomenon of nikah siri (unregistered marriage) remains a persistent social and legal issue in Aceh, particularly in Gampong Alue Kambuk, where many community members believe that a marriage is valid under Islamic law without official registration at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). This perception leads to legal uncertainty and weakens the protection of women’s and children’s rights. Such conditions reflect a gap between religious norms, customary practices, and state law, highlighting the strategic role of Tuha Peut as a customary institution in mediating and educating the community through religious and social approaches rooted in local wisdom.This study employed a qualitative method with an empirical-sociological approach, using primary data collected through in-depth interviews with the Geuchik (village head), Tuha Peut members, Tgk. Meunasah (village cleric), officials from the Suka Makmue Office of Religious Affairs, and local religious leaders. Secondary data were obtained from legal literature, books, and relevant academic journals. Data were gathered through interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify the roles and strategies of Tuha Peut.The results indicate that Tuha Peut applies two types of strategies in addressing nikah siri: planned strategies and emergent strategies. Planned strategies are implemented through legal counseling, marriage registration campaigns, and religious guidance during village deliberations, while emergent strategies develop spontaneously through social communication, informal advice, and religious–customary mentorship. The main obstacles include low legal awareness, economic limitations, and strong traditional influences that prioritize religious legitimacy over state law. The study concludes that Tuha Peut plays a strategic mediating role that bridges religious, customary, and state legal systems, functioning as both an educational and preventive institution in enhancing community legal awareness

Abstract

Polygamy is an Islamic family law issue that continues to be debated, especially when its practice in modern Muslim societies often leads to gender inequality. Although it has a normative basis in the Qur'an, specifically QS. al-Nisā' [4]: 3 and QS. al-Nisā' [4]: 129, verses on polygamy are often understood textually as legal justification, without considering the historical context and ethical objectives. As a result, there is a gap between the moral message of the Qur'an, which emphasizes justice and benefit, and the social reality of polygamy, which is fraught with gender inequality. This study aims to reconstruct the understanding of polygamy in Islam through an analysis of Nasaruddin Umar's hermeneutics of gender justice, as well as to examine the contribution of his thoughts in bridging the gap between the text of the Qur'an and social practice. This research is a library-based qualitative study. Primary data were obtained from the Qur'an and the works of Nasaruddin Umar. Secondary sources include academic books, journal articles, and previous research relevant to the theme of polygamy and gender interpretation. Data collection techniques. Data collection was carried out through systematic literature searches in both physical libraries and electronic databases, and the data were analyzed using descriptive-qualitative methods and hermeneutic analysis, considering the historical, social context, and moral objectives of religious texts. The results of the study show that Nasaruddin Umar interprets the verses on polygamy as contextual and preventive social regulations, not as an ideal marriage institution. Justice in polygamy is understood not only in material terms, but also encompasses emotional and psychological dimensions that are theologically difficult for humans to achieve. Therefore, polygamy is positioned as a very strict conditional permission, while monogamy is considered more in line with the objectives of Sharia law, namely justice, protection of human dignity, and family welfare. This study contributes to the development of Qur'anic exegesis and gender studies by emphasizing the importance of a hermeneutic approach oriented towards substantive justice in understanding the verses on polygamy, thereby producing a more humanistic, proportional, and relevant understanding in the context of contemporary Muslim society.
