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.

Abstract

Divorce has a significant impact on the fulfillment of children's rights and well-being, while custody decisions are often normative and do not take into account the child's best interests. Therefore, this study aims to reconstruct the concept of post-divorce child custody by integrating the maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah and the principle of the best interest of the child. The research method employed is a qualitative normative approach with a maqasid sharia perspective, based on a literature study. Primary data sources include classical fiqh books and contemporary Islamic legal literature that discuss hadith. Secondary data sources include scientific books, national and international journal articles, previous research results, and laws and regulations related to child custody after divorce, such as the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) and the Indonesian Marriage Law. Data were collected through documentation and analyzed using descriptive analytical techniques. Post-divorce child custody reconstruction needs to be built on the integration of the maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah (the principles of Islamic law) and the principle of the best interest of the child as the primary basis for determining custody. This approach prioritizes the child's well-being, taking into account religious, psychological, emotional, educational, and social aspects. Thus, custody determination is not merely normative, but contextual and equitable. This is expected to result in more humane decisions oriented toward the child's protection and future.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of Article 7 of Bandar Lampung City Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2022 on Market Administration, which obliges the local government to maintain accessibility and traffic flow around traditional markets. The research is motivated by the continued use of public roadways as trading areas at Pasar Tani, Kemiling Subdistrict, which disrupts public order and compromises collective interests. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Article 7 and to examine its implementation from the perspective of fiqh siyasah tanfidziyyah. Employing a qualitative method with a juridical-empirical approach, data were obtained through semi structured interviews with five traders and three officials of the Bandar Lampung City Trade Office, as well as analysis of statutory regulations and classical and contemporary fiqh siyasah literature. The findings reveal that the regulation’s implementation remains suboptimal due to inconsistent law enforcement, limited administrative capacity, and low legal compliance among traders. From a fiqh siyasah tanfidziyyah perspective, this condition indicates the insufficient role of local government as ulī al-amr in realizing justice, public welfare, and harm prevention.

Abstract

Access to justice for consumers in the financial sector is crucial. Beyond simply resolving problems, access to justice emphasizes that the government and authorized institutions should not act arbitrarily. In Islamic civilization, a concept known as Wilayatul Mazhalim has similar meaning to the Ombudsman. Furthermore, history explains that the establishment of the first Ombudsman in Sweden was inspired by the rapidly developing Islamic civilization in Turkey at that time. This is normative juridical research with a qualitative approach, resulting in recommendations for changing the wording of regulations. Primary data were obtained from observation by the researchers during 2022 to 2024, and secondary data sources included laws, presidential decrees, and Financial Service Authority regulations. The data collection techniques were observation and documentation studies. The analysis was conducted narratively by providing definitions in advance. As a result, the Ombudsman that is unable to examine institutions entrusted with dispute resolution transfers on the grounds that such institutions do not receive funding from the State Budget (APBN) or Regional Budgets (APBD) creates an entry barrier and limits access to justice. Such situation differs from the Islamic perspective, which recognizes the rights of individuals to seek and obtain their right without obstruction.

Abstract

Digital transformation has reshaped Islamic religious practices, including the digitalization of Islamic inheritance law through mobile applications. Existing studies focus on technical development and quantitative user acceptance, neglecting users' interpretive practices, religious evaluations, and socio-cultural meanings in digital interactions. This study analyzes user experiences and perceptions of Islamic inheritance applications in Indonesia to understand how digital technology shapes and is shaped by Muslim users' religious practices. Employing netnography, this qualitative study examines 679 user reviews from eight Islamic inheritance applications on Google Play Store, scraped via Python on January 11, 2026. Analysis involved mapping application features into digitalization approaches, classifying reviews by sentiment, conducting thematic analysis, and examining fiqh-specific critiques to assess religious authority dynamics. Three digitalization approaches were identified: calculator-focused, educational, and multi-madhhab platforms. Positive themes included ease of use (29%), educational value (26%), fiqh accuracy (21%), methodological transparency (14%), and spiritual significance (10%), while negative dimensions covered fiqh errors (36%), feature limitations (24%), technical issues (17%), interface problems (11%), and monetization concerns (12%). Users demonstrate critical digital-religious literacy, evaluating applications against traditional religious authority rather than treating them as autonomous replacements, positioning these applications as mediators for informed negotiation at the intersection of technology, religious knowledge, and cultural values.

Abstract

Childcare in Islamic family law in Minangkabau is interesting to study because it lies at the intersection of sharia and matrilineal customs, thereby strengthening the role of the maternal line. This dynamic becomes increasingly complex, especially in the context of divorce, so it is important to analyze how harmonization between Islamic law and customs is implemented in practice. This study aims to determine the concept of childcare (hadanah) in Minangkabau society, whether it is a manifestation of maternal nature alone or is more influenced by the social environment and local customs. This study is a field research study with a qualitative approach, which aims to describe and analyze the empirical reality of post-divorce childcare within a matrilineal kinship system. Primary data were obtained from 25 divorced married couples: mothers, a grandmother, a traditional head (penghulu or KAN), seven datuak (customary leaders), religious figures (ulama or cadiak pandai), community leaders who are considered experts and familiar with the problems in this study, and secondary data from books, articles, and documents deemed necessary. Data was obtained from observation, interviews and documentation and then analyzed using descriptive analytical techniques. These findings demonstrate maternal dominance in parenting, where mothers are not only responsible for the education and care of children but also serve as the primary breadwinners. This situation potentially puts children at risk of losing their right to attention and support from their fathers. Matrilineal kinship in Minangkabau also contributes to low paternal involvement, including the fact that children live with their mothers, the shame of visiting their ex-wife's home, and inherent traditional perceptions. Thus, the practice of hadanah in Minangkabau is more strongly influenced by local customs and traditions.

Abstract

This research examines the dynamics of the 1955 General Election in Indonesia and Muhammad al-Ghazali’s perspective on electoral systems in the context of the modern state. The 1955 election marked a significant milestone in Indonesia’s democratic developm ent, applying a proportional electoral system with high voter participation. It successfully established an inclusive, accountable, and integrity-based electoral legal framework. Meanwhile, al-Ghazali’s thought highlights that democratic principles such as shura (consultation), justice, and public participation are compatible with Islamic values. Modern elections are viewed as a practical realization of shura in complex societies where direct deliberation is no longer feasible. The academic contribution of this study lies in affirming that democratic electoral systems can be grounded in Islamic ethical values, and that the historical experience of the 1955 election offers a relevant model for developing progressive electoral regulations. This research enriches the discourse on Islamic political thought and Indonesian electoral law within the context of inclusive and ethical democracy

Abstract

The dominance of political party chairmen in the process of formulating public policy in Indonesia indicates a serious problem in democratic practices. The common fact that every draft law discussed in parliament must be approved by the party chairmen indicates an excessive centralization of power in the hands of political party chairmen. This condition creates a paradox, where political parties, as a means of articulating and aggregating public interests, actually become instruments of the interests of a handful of elite parties. This study aims to determine the level of democracy within political parties and examine how to constitutionally limit the term of office of political party chairmen. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statute approach. The legal sources used are primary legal sources, namely legal materials that include provisions of applicable laws and regulations and secondary legal materials that support primary legal sources, namely scientific journals related to public office and justice. Data collection techniques use legal interpretation and are analyzed using analytical descriptive techniques. The results of this study indicate that the general chairperson of a political party still holds absolute power without adequate control mechanisms, including the absence of term limits which allows for the emergence of a prolonged political oligarchy. Reconstruction of the political party system can be carried out by conducting a judicial review of Article 23 paragraph (1) of the political party law or by revising the political party law organically through the legislative body
