Abstract

This study examines the application of Martin Heidegger's hermeneutical framework as an alternative method for understanding prophetic hadith through contextual, historical and existential perspectives. Employing a qualitative philosophical approach through systematic library research, the study analyzes selected hadiths from Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and Musnad Ahmad using the concepts of Dasein, Being-in-the-world, and the hermeneutical circle. The findings demonstrate that Heideggerian hermeneutics situates hadith interpretation within the dynamic relationship between religious texts, the interpreter's existential horizon, and socio-historical context, thereby revealing dimensions of meaning that textual-formal approaches leave unaddressed. This research contributes to contemporary hadith studies by presenting a philosophical framework that bridges classical Islamic scholarly traditions and modern hermeneutical thought, offering Nusantara Islamic scholarship a methodologically grounded basis for developing contextual, moderate, and historically conscious interpretations of prophetic traditions. The implications extend to Islamic education and interdisciplinary inquiry, where hermeneutical analysis can strengthen engagement with contemporary religious and social challenges.

Abstract

Although traditional Muslim scholars in the Nusantara (the Malay-Indonesian archipelago) have been widely studied for their roles in religious propagation, politics, and education, their contributions to the development of indigenous writing traditions remain insufficiently explored. Among the most significant yet understudied of these contributions is the Pegon script, an adaptation of Arabic letters systematically modified to transcribe local languages such as Sundanese and Javanese, which served as a primary vehicle for the production and transmission of Islamic knowledge across the region. Existing scholarship on Pegon manuscripts has predominantly concentrated on philological editing and textual criticism, while the role of Muslim scholars in shaping Pegon as a dynamic medium for transmitting Islamic knowledge and constructing cultural identity has received comparatively limited attention. This study employs historical and philological approaches, combined with critical discourse analysis, to examine Sundanese manuscripts written in the Pegon script, drawing on local historical narratives and archival sources. The findings demonstrate that Pegon functioned not merely as a writing system but as a multidimensional intellectual instrument: a pedagogical medium within ulama and pesantren networks, a cultural bridge connecting local and global Islamic traditions, and a subtle instrument of resistance to colonial authority. Taken together, these findings attest to the remarkable intellectual creativity of Sundanese ulama in developing an effective vernacular writing system and underscore the critical importance of manuscript studies in reconstructing the dynamics of Islamic intellectual history in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

Nineteenth-century Indonesian scholars developed a distinctive mode of ijtihad by producing local Nusantara interpretations of Qur'anic exegesis. Despite extensive research on Javanese tafsir traditions, the systematic study of lexicalization as an ideological and identity-constructing mechanism remains conspicuously absent. This study addresses that gap through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), examining how lexicalization constructs the ideology and identity of Islam Jawa (Javanese Islam) within Kyai Salih Darat's Javanese Pegon exegesis of Surah al-Fatihah. The central research question asks: how do lexical choices in Fayd al-Rahman construct Javanese Islamic ideology and identity through the exegesis of Surah al-Fatihah? Using van Dijk's socio-cognitive framework of lexicalization, ideology, and identity, this descriptive qualitative study employs discourse-linguistic analysis of digital manuscripts. The findings disclose three lexicalization patterns: the preservation of Arabic lexical items to maintain the epistemic authority of Qur'anic referents; the adaptation of Javanese honorifics and speech-level terms to recontextualize Islamic ethics within culturally intelligible moral frameworks; and the hybridization of Arabic and Javanese expressions to negotiate localized Muslim identity while preserving doctrinal orthodoxy. These patterns demonstrate that lexicalization functions as a socio-cognitive and discursive mechanism through which religious authority, ideological meanings, and collective identity are simultaneously reproduced in vernacular Qur'anic interpretation. This study extends van Dijk's framework by demonstrating its applicability in a non-Western religious manuscript context and contributes to comparative scholarship on Islam Nusantara

Abstract

Hadith studies in the Indonesian archipelago have predominantly focused on normative, legal and theological dimensions, while the literary and cultural reception of hadith within local traditions remains underexplored. This study investigates how prophetic teachings on neighborly conduct are mediated, interpreted and embodied within Bugis cultural practice, with particular reference to the Pau-Paunna Budisettihara manuscript. Drawing on selected hadiths concerning neighborly ethics and passages from the Pau-Paunna Budisettihara manuscript, this study employs a qualitative, library-based approach through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), informed by the anthropology of hadith and Jauss's Reception of Religious Texts theory. The hadiths examined include those commanding people to speak good, honor their neighbors, and respect guests, analyzed with textual passages that embody the values of sipakatau (humanizing others), sipakalebbi (mutual respect), and sipakainge' (mutual moral reminder). The findings reveal that hadiths on neighborly conduct are not merely understood theologically but are deeply internalized within Bugis social practices that emphasize harmony, dignity, reciprocity and social solidarity. This study contributes to contemporary hadith scholarship by demonstrating the applicability of reception theory in hadith studies and by advancing an interdisciplinary framework that integrates hadith studies, anthropology, and local cultural wisdom in understanding living hadith within the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Religious literacy has become an important educational issue in plural societies where religion shapes not only personal belief but also moral formation, citizenship, and public life. This study examines how religious literacy is constructed in selected elite Islamic schools in Medan, North Sumatra, a plural urban context in which Islamic schools are expected to strengthen students’ religious identity while preparing them for social diversity. Drawing on religious literacy theory, the interpretive approach to religious education, and Islamic educational thought, this qualitative multiple-case study addresses a gap in existing literature, which has discussed Islamic schooling in relation to piety, modernization, and middle-class aspiration, but has paid less attention to the specific forms of religious literacy produced by elite Islamic schools in plural urban settings. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, document analysis, and alumni achievement data review. The findings show that religious literacy in these schools is primarily constructed as practical-normative formation through Qur’anic recitation, tahfiz, congregational prayer, Islamic mentoring, moral discipline, and the internalization of adab. The schools also construct excellence through the integration of Islamic normativity, academic competitiveness, and parental aspirations for moral protection and social mobility. However, plural and civic religious literacy remains less institutionally developed than Qur’anic literacy, worship habituation, and academic achievement. The study demonstrates analytically that Islamic excellence in these schools is constructed through a textual regime of inward-oriented formation, and that plural civic competence constitutes a structural absence within this regime—one that points to the theoretical limits of practical-normative religious literacy in plural democratic societies.

Abstract

This article examines water symbolism in the Gospel of John and the Martutu Aek ritual as two forms of religious literature, namely, a canonical written text and an oral performative ritual text. Previous studies have separately analyzed Johannine water imagery through textual-exegetical lenses and the Martutu Aek through ethnographic-cultural frameworks, leaving largely unexplored the systematic comparison of these traditions through a unified analytical framework. This study aims to compare how water symbolism is constructed and interpreted in both traditions through a biblical-theological and hermeneutic-comparative approach. Employing a qualitative hermeneutical approach, the study analyzes John 3:1–21 and 4:1–42 as primary textual data and scholarly documented ethnographic sources of the Martutu Aek ritual as secondary data, using six structured deductive categories. The findings reveal functional convergences, as both traditions employ water as a sacred medium for rites of initiation, spiritual purification, and the reconstruction of communal identity. A fundamental theological divergence nevertheless emerges: the Johannine narrative directs water symbolism toward an eschatological-transcendental transformation for eternal life, whereas the Martutu Aek ritual emphasizes a restorative-immanent transformation to reestablish socio-cosmic harmony. This article contributes to religious literature studies in the Nusantara by demonstrating how a biblical-theological reading can engage seriously with oral ritual traditions, demonstrating that oral ritual traditions warrant the same analytical rigor as canonical written texts, while also offering implications for contextual theological reflection and ecological awareness in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article examines how Islamic educational quality is constructed in the digital religious literature of Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia. Rather than evaluating institutional performance outcomes, this study examines how quality is defined, legitimized, and represented through official institutional website texts. Although studies on digital religion, Islamic educational transformation, and institutional quality have developed significantly, limited attention has been given to official websites of Islamic schools and pesantren as religious-literary texts that shape public meanings of Islamic education. Using a qualitative design with digital textual analysis and thematic content analysis, this study examines 26 website texts from seven Islamic educational institutions collected between January and March 2026. The corpus includes vision and mission statements, institutional profiles, principals’ messages, flagship program descriptions, tahfiz and tahsin narratives, and routine religious activity pages. The findings show that Islamic educational quality is constructed through three interconnected textual operations: integration, metrification, and habituation. Integration appears in the fusion of academic competence, Qur’anic achievement, moral character, leadership, and social usefulness. Metrification appears in measurable Qur’anic indicators such as 30 juz, 3 juz, 7 juz, juz 30, tahsin, and tasmi’. By repositioning institutional websites as digital religious literature, this article shows that these texts do not merely report educational programs but actively produce Islamic educational quality as a normative public discourse
Textual Orality in Pesantren Tafsir: Reimagining Mangaji Tudang Through Tafsir Surah ʿAmma by AGH. As’ad Al-Bugisy Muhammad Alwi HS; Muharrahman Muharrahman; Muhsin Mahfudz; Hamzah Harun; Muhammad Yusuf; Witry Octasari Aritonang; Daffa Rizqi Prayudya

Abstract

This article examines the relationship between oral and written traditions in the corpus of pesantren Qur’anic tafsir through Tafsir Surah ʿAmma bil-Lughah al-Bugisiyyah by AGH. As’ad Al-Bugisy, a work that emerged from the mangaji tudang tradition of the As’adiyah Pesantren in South Sulawesi. Although studies of pesantren tafsir have extensively explored philological, linguistic, ideological, and social dimensions, the dimension of orality within tafsir texts as a representation of pesantren teaching traditions has received limited systematic attention in tafsir scholarship. This study aims to reveal how the practice of mangaji tudang is represented in the tafsir text through the concept of textual orality and how the tradition has been transmitted and transformed after AGH. As’ad. This study employs a qualitative textual approach, using Tafsir Surah ʿAmma as its primary corpus. The analysis is supported by field observation, digital documentation of contemporary Mangaji Tudang practices at the As'adiyah Pesantren, as well as relevant scholarly literature and historical sources. The findings demonstrate that orality in the tafsir is manifested through three principal forms: a presentation structure that follows the rhythm of religious instruction, pedagogical strategies that reflect pesantren teaching practices, and the use of terms and experiences closely connected to the everyday life of Bugis society. The study further finds that the tafsir functions as a record of mangaji tudang, preserving not only AGH. As’ad’s pedagogical experience but also serving as a medium for the transmission and transformation of Islam based on Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamāʿah (ASWAJA) within Bugis culture. These findings advance pesantren tafsir studies by establishing textual orality as an analytical framework for non-Javanese exegetical traditions, and by demonstrating that local Qur’anic commentaries function as living archives in which pedagogical practice, cultural memory, and Islamic knowledge transmission are simultaneously encoded and sustained.

Abstract

Religious intolerance and exclusivism remain challenges in Indonesia’s plural society, particularly when religious practices tend to be confined to symbolism and formalism that do not adequately reflect ethical values. Previous studies have positioned religious literature as a medium for transmitting moral and inclusive values; however, most of them focus on normative and philosophical aspects and provide limited empirical explanation of how social critique is constructed and articulated within popular religious works. This gap is significant given the broad reach of popular literature in shaping public perceptions of religious practice. Addressing this gap, this study aims to analyze the forms of social critique in Tuhan Ada di Hatimu (God Resides in Your Heart) by Husein Ja‘far Al-Hadar and examine their relevance to contemporary Indonesian religiosity. The study employs a qualitative library-based approach using content analysis to identify key themes of critique, including excessive conservatism, judgmental culture, and the politicization of religious symbols. The findings show that the work not only reflects socio-religious conditions but also constructs critique through a narrative that emphasizes self-reflection, empathy, and contextual understanding of religious teachings. These results indicate that popular religious literature can function as a medium for articulating social critique that bridges religious texts and social realities. Theoretically, this study contributes by demonstrating how content analysis can be used to uncover the construction of social critique in popular religious narratives, while also expanding discussions on religious literature as a site for articulating social critique within contemporary religiosity.  
Paradigmatic and Syntagmatic Relations in the Qur’an: A Structural-Semiotic Reading of Qur’anic Human Creation Verses Ubaidillah Ubaidillah; Bambang Hariyanto; Amin Nasir; Samsul Anam; Ghazali Zainuddin; Siti Rosilawati Ramlan

Abstract

This article examines the phases of human creation in the Qur'an through Ferdinand de Saussure's structural linguistic framework, with particular attention to paradigmatic (lexical selection) and syntagmatic (sequential arrangement) relations operative in key verses: QS al-Mu'minūn [23]:12–14, al-Ḥajj [22]:5, as-Sajdah [32]:7–9, and al-Insān [76]:2. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with content analysis, the study draws on primary data comprising Qur'anic texts and secondary data from classical and contemporary exegetical works. The analysis demonstrates that lexical variations, including ṭīn (clay), turāb (soil), sulālah (essence of earth), and nuṭfah (seminal fluid), constitute a system of paradigmatic oppositions that encodes a graduated ontological progression from material origin to spiritual endowment. Syntagmatic relations, realized through conjunctions such as ṡumma and fa, organize these stages into a coherent narrative sequence that moves from physical formation to the bestowal of cognitive and spiritual faculties. Accordingly, the language of the Qur'an functions not merely to describe biological processes but to construct a conceptual framework through which human identity, origin, and existential purpose are discursively represented. This study concludes that the Qur'anic linguistic structure constitutes a theologically organized semiotic system in which lexical selection and syntagmatic patterning jointly produce a layered discourse of human existence — one that integrates the material, biological, spiritual, and cognitive dimensions of personhood within a unified sign system.
