Abstract

This study examines the practice of Qur’anic ruqyah from the perspective of tafsir maudhū‘i (thematic exegesis), focusing on the concept of shifā’ (healing) in the Qur’an and its implementation in the Way Kandis community, Bandar Lampung. This research aims to bridge thematic Qur’anic interpretation with empirical findings on ruqyah practices as an expression of the Living Qur’an in Muslim socio-religious life. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method using a normative-empirical approach. The normative approach analyzes verses related to shifā’ through thematic exegesis, while the empirical approach explores ruqyah practices through interviews and observations. The findings reveal that the concept of shifā’ in the Qur’an encompasses physical, spiritual, and psychological healing, including inner peace, strengthened faith, and protection from spiritual disturbances. Verses such as QS. Yunus:57, QS. Al-Isrā’:82, Surah Al-Fātiḥah, Ayat al-Kursi, and Al-Mu‘awwidzāt are commonly used as the basis of Qur’anic ruqyah practices. This study concludes that Qur’anic ruqyah represents the actualization of Qur’anic healing concepts and contributes to the integration of tafsir maudhū‘i, Living Qur’an studies, and Islamic spiritual healing.

Abstract

Isrāʾīliyyāt narratives in classical tafsīr literature raise an unresolved tension between naqd al-sanad and naqd al-matan. When a report has a sound sanad yet contradicts Islamic doctrine, scholarly responses diverge. Some scholars preserve such reports through taʾwīl, while others reject them entirely. Muhammad Abū Shuhbah occupies the most uncompromising position in this spectrum, yet the epistemological basis of his rejection lacks systematic examination. Using a qualitative library research method, this study explains the epistemological foundation of Abū Shuhbah's rejection of Isrāʾīliyyāt reports with sound transmission chains and tests his argument's consistency through the Hārūt and Mārūt case. The primary source is Abū Shuhbah's Al-Isrāʾīliyyāt wa al-Mawḍū'āt fī Kutub al-Tafsīr, analyzed alongside relevant classical works via descriptive-analytical content analysis. Abū Shuhbah adopts the standard tripartite classification but treats a report as an indivisible whole. He rejects the Hārūt and Mārūt narrative due to an invalid matan, even when parts of its sanad are considered sound, and provides an alternative interpretation of Q. al-Baqara [2]:102 containing no Isrāʾīliyyāt elements. The soundness of a sanad cannot rehabilitate a report whose matan contradicts textual and rational evidence. This principle contributes to qawāʿid al-tafsīr by clarifying the structural relationship between naqd al-sanad and naqd al-matan, reframing Abū Shuhbah's stance as a principled epistemological position that assigns naqd al-matan the role of final arbiter.

Abstract

The quarter-life crisis has emerged as a prevalent psychological phenomenon among Generation Z, characterized by anxiety, career uncertainty, identity confusion, and concerns about the future. Existing studies predominantly explain this phenomenon through psychological or general religious coping perspectives, while the integrative Qur'anic relationship between ikhtiar (diligent effort) and tawakkal (reliance on Allah) remains insufficiently explored. This study aims to reconstruct the Qur'anic paradigm of ikhtiar and tawakkal through a thematic interpretation of Q.S. Ar-Ra'd [13]:11 and Q.S. At-Talaq [65]:3, and to examine its relevance as a spiritual coping framework for addressing the quarter-life crisis among Generation Z. This qualitative library research employs the tafsir maudhū’i (thematic interpretation) approach by analyzing the selected Qur'anic verses alongside classical and contemporary tafsir literature and relevant studies on quarter-life crisis, Islamic psychology, and religious coping. The findings demonstrate that ikhtiar functions as an active mechanism encouraging self-development, responsible action, and adaptive responses to uncertainty, whereas tawakkal serves as a spiritual mechanism that alleviates anxiety through trust in Allah after optimal effort has been exerted. Their integration establishes a balanced Qur'anic framework that strengthens psychological resilience, emotional stability, and meaningful engagement with life's uncertainties. The reconstructed paradigm offers a relevant conceptual foundation for helping Generation Z cope with the psychological challenges of the quarter-life crisis. Unlike previous studies that primarily emphasize psychological or general religious coping, this research proposes an integrative Qur'anic spiritual coping model by synthesizing ikhtiar and tawakkal through thematic interpretation, thereby contributing to the development of contemporary Qur'anic exegesis and Islamic psychology.
Recontextualizing Ukhuwah in Qur'an Surah Al-Hujurat Ayat 10: A Socio-Humanistic Analysis of Qur'anic Interpretation: Rekontekstualisasi Ukhuwah dalam QS. al-Ḥujurāt ayat 10: Analisis Tafsir Perspektif Sosial-Humaniora Pimpinan Abaik Simamora; Irfan Mansyur Simamora; Mardian Idris Harahap; Rahayu Fuji Astuti

Abstract

The concept of ukhuwah (brotherhood) is one of the fundamental teachings of Islam that serves as the basis for social solidarity and harmony. However, the development of contemporary society, characterized by identity plurality, social polarization, and digital communication transformation, requires a reinterpretation of the concept to maintain its relevance. This study aims to analyze the construction of the meaning of ukhuwah in QS. al-Ḥujurāt [49]:10, identify its transformation within the exegetical tradition, and recontextualize it through a socio-humanistic perspective. This research employs a qualitative library research method. Primary data were obtained from QS. al-Ḥujurāt [49]:10 and classical as well as contemporary Qur’anic exegeses, while secondary data were collected from books, journal articles, and related studies. Data were analyzed using descriptive-analytical methods through thematic interpretation (tafsīr mawḍū‘ī) and a socio-humanistic approach. The findings reveal that the concept of ukhuwah has evolved from a normative-theological paradigm to a socio-humanistic paradigm. Classical exegetes generally understood ukhuwah as a faith-based bond aimed at maintaining internal Muslim unity, whereas contemporary interpretations expand its meaning as an instrument of social cohesion capable of strengthening solidarity, social trust, and conflict resolution in plural societies. The study further demonstrates that the recontextualization of ukhuwah makes QS. al-Ḥujurāt [49]:10 relevant as a foundation for social ethics and communication in the digital era. Therefore, ukhuwah functions not only as a religious identity but also as a social paradigm that supports the creation of an inclusive, harmonious, and civilized society.
Qur'anic Communication among Career Women: An Exegetical Analysis of Six Qaulan Principles through Gender-Sensitive Interpretation: Komunikasi Al-Qur'an di Kalangan Wanita Karier: Analisis Tafsir terhadap Enam Prinsip Qaulan Melalui Penafsiran yang Sensitif Gender Mambaul Lutfiyah; Muhammad Sholahuddin

Abstract

Rapid digital communication has intensified misinformation and ethical challenges, highlighting the need for a Qur'anic framework of communication grounded in moral values. Previous studies predominantly examine the six qaulan expressions sadidan, ma'rufan, layyinan, kariman, balighan, and maysuran as a unified ethical concept, overlooking their distinct textual contexts and producing inconsistent interpretations, particularly in gender-related studies. This study aims to analyze the six qaulan expressions through an exegetical approach and examine their relevance to the communication experiences of career women from a gender-sensitive interpretive perspective. This qualitative library research employs thematic exegesis (tafsir maudhu'i) of classical and contemporary Qur'anic commentaries, supported by a Systematic Literature Review of relevant Scopus-indexed articles published between 2020 and 2026. The findings reveal that only qaulan ma'rufan in Q.S. Al-Ahzab [33]:32 explicitly addresses women, namely the Prophet's wives, whereas the remaining five expressions represent universal ethical principles applicable regardless of gender. This distinction has largely been overlooked in previous thematic studies. The study concludes that Qur'anic communication should not be understood as a homogeneous ethical category. Instead, it proposes an integrated exegetical framework that distinguishes gender-specific from gender-neutral qaulan expressions, providing a more precise interpretive foundation for gender-sensitive studies of Qur'anic communication.
The Concept of Dzurriyyah in the Qur'an: A Semantic Analysis of Toshihiko Izutsu in Responding to the Childfree Phenomenon: Konsep Dzurriyyah dalam Al-Qur’an: Analisis Semantik Toshihiko Izutsu dalam Menanggapi Fenomena Childfree Farhan Ahsan Anshari

Abstract

The Qur'anic term dzurriyyah is closely related to lineage, succession, and the continuity of faith. This study aims to reconstruct the semantic meaning and Qur'anic worldview of dzurriyyah using Toshihiko Izutsu's semantic approach and examine its relevance to contemporary discussions on voluntary childfree. This qualitative library research analyzes Qur'anic verses containing dzurriyyah, supported by classical Arabic dictionaries, Qur'anic commentaries, and relevant studies. Data were collected through documentation and analyzed using Izutsu's framework, including basic meaning, relational meaning, semantic field, and Qur'anic worldview reconstruction. The findings indicate that dzurriyyah does not merely refer to biological descendants but encompasses the continuity of faith, transmission of monotheism, leadership regeneration, moral responsibility, and preservation of the prophetic mission. Unlike other Qur'anic terms for offspring, dzurriyyah emphasizes the quality and religious role of future generations as inheritors of divine values. The Qur'anic worldview therefore presents offspring as both a divine trust (amānah) and a means of sustaining religion and civilization. This semantic reconstruction provides a conceptual framework for understanding voluntary childfree within the broader Qur'anic perspective. The study concludes that dzurriyyah is fundamentally oriented toward the formation of righteous generations as a foundation for maintaining the continuity of the Muslim community and its values.
The Canonization of Meaning in Qur'an 2:30: A Living Qur'an Study of Leadership Practices at Insan Rahayu Integrated Islamic School: Kanonisasi Makna Q.S. Al-Baqarah [2]: 30: Kajian Living Qur'an pada Praktik Kepemimpinan di Sekolah Islam Terpadu Insan Rahayu Puji Purwati; Fauzan Dhiyaurahman

Abstract

The concept of khalifah in Qur'an 2:30 has been widely discussed in classical and contemporary Qur'anic exegesis and recognized as a theological foundation for Islamic educational leadership. However, previous studies have mainly emphasized normative interpretations and leadership concepts, while limited attention has been given to how Qur'anic meanings are canonized and institutionalized as living values within Islamic educational institutions. This study examines the canonization of the meaning of khalifah in Qur'an 2:30 and its manifestation in leadership practices at Insan Rahayu Integrated Islamic School, Bandung. Using a qualitative case study approach within the framework of Living Qur'an studies, data were collected through interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis and source triangulation. The findings reveal that the meaning of khalifah is collectively constructed as the identity of human beings entrusted with leadership and canonized through four interconnected processes: institutional authority, normative legitimacy, institutionalization, and continuous value reproduction. This meaning is manifested in the curriculum, school culture, student leadership programs, character development, and teachers’ exemplary practices. The novelty of this study lies in proposing a Qur'anic Meaning Canonization Model that explains how Qur'anic interpretations are transformed into institutional values shaping educational governance and leadership practices. This study contributes to Living Qur'an studies by highlighting the process of meaning formation, institutionalization, and reproduction of Qur'anic values in Islamic educational contexts.

Abstract

The phenomenon of digital interpretation is increasingly showing the way young Indonesian Muslims view the Qur'an. With short video platforms such as TikTok, which accommodates to present the meaning of the Qur'an in a concise and fragmented manner. This study examined the TikTok account @quran.tadabbur which showed a meaning-loss interaction and will see the extent to which interpretive idealism can be maintained on social media. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach and content analysis, combined with elements of netnographic observation of publicly available social media data with the three most viewed videos (May-June 2025) compared to Tafsir al-Misbah and other classic tafsir works. The results of the study show that the short clip format tends to cut the verse from its historical background and use irrelevant decorative background images, resulting in a superficial and truncated meaning. In conclusion, the delivery of tafsir on TikTok risks simplifying the message of the Qur'an which is just a short moral message, although this risk can be reduced if you create content sequentially and consistently, such as listing clear reference sources, similar to activities carried out by @anugerahwulandari account. The novelty of this study is in mapping the forms of superficial digital meaning as well as a direct comparison between TikTok content and an authoritative book of exegesis.
