This research examines how digital hermeneutics and Islamic psychology operate in the interpretation of the Qur’an within TikTok-based da’wah content in Indonesia. It addresses four key aspects, namely: the distinctive features of Qur’anic interpretation on TikTok, the influence of platform algorithms in shaping interpretive patterns, the psychological mechanisms through which audiences receive and internalize Qur’anic messages, and the broader epistemological, psychological, and social consequences of this trend. A qualitative design is employed, combining digital content analysis, direct observation, interviews with da’wah content creators, and surveys of TikTok users. The study draws on critical hermeneutics, mediatization of religion theory, and Islamic psychology to explore the dynamic relationship between sacred text, technological systems, and human psychological processes. The findings indicate that interpretations circulating on TikTok tend to be fragmented, context-driven, and closely tied to algorithmic preferences. Qur’anic messages are often framed as motivational or emotionally engaging narratives that resonate with everyday life, placing greater emphasis on the affective dimension (qalb) rather than deeper cognitive reflection (‘aql). In addition, there is a noticeable shift in religious authority, moving away from traditionally recognized scholars toward digital creators whose influence is largely shaped by popularity. The interaction between creators and audiences also fosters a more participatory and dialogical form of interpretation. However, this openness can lead to oversimplification and potential misinterpretation, especially in contexts where digital literacy remains limited. Overall, the study suggests that integrating digital hermeneutics with Islamic psychology creates new opportunities to broaden access to religious knowledge and experience, while at the same time raising concerns about interpretive depth, the reliability of knowledge, and the tendency toward instant meaning-making. Consequently, a more balanced approach is required one that integrates the richness of classical exegesis, psychological insight, and effective digital communication strategies in contemporary da’wah practices.

The study of Living Qur’an emphasizes how the Qur'an is not merely memorized but actively actualized in daily spiritual practices. This research investigates the Murajaah Sholati Ila Mamati method implemented by students of Ma'had Aly Baitul Qur'an Wonogiri, focusing on its implementation in everyday life, its spiritual effectiveness, and the challenges encountered in its practice. The study aims to describe the method comprehensively, analyze student perceptions, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and evaluate its contribution to Qur'anic memorization quality. This research employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative questionnaire data from 115 students (49 male and 66 female) with qualitative data obtained through in-depth interviews and direct observation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques for quantitative data and thematic analysis for qualitative data. The findings reveal that the Murajaah Sholati Ila Mamati method is highly effective in strengthening Qur'anic memorization. Students reported improved memorization quality toward a more mutqin (precise and firmly embedded) level, deepened spiritual experiences during prayer-based murajaah, and enhanced focus and concentration. Internal obstacles such as laziness, forgetfulness, health issues, and poor time management were identified as the primary inhibiting factors (73%), while external challenges including distracting environments and external temptations accounted for 27% of difficulties. This study contributes to the field of Living Qur’an studies by demonstrating that integrating hafalan practice within obligatory and sunnah prayers constitutes an innovative, spiritually enriching, and pedagogically effective method for Qur'anic preservation.

Toward a Qur'anic Ethics of Digital Self-Presentation: M. Quraish Shihab's Interpretation of Q. 31:18 and Generation Z's Flexing Culture: Etika Qur'ani tentang Presentasi Diri di Ruang Digital: Penafsiran M. Quraish Shihab terhadap Q.S.

The proliferation of flexing culture on social media has intensified the tension between digital self-presentation and the Islamic ethical value of tawāḍuʿ (humility). This study aims to examine the typology of flexing practices among Generation Z in Padangsidimpuan City and to explore the relevance of M. Quraish Shihab’s interpretation of Q. 31:18 in understanding this contemporary phenomenon. Employing a qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach, the study draws on in-depth interviews with 28 participants, complemented and validated through netnographic observation. The findings identify four dominant forms of flexing: location flexing, achievement flexing, material-possession flexing, and self-archiving flexing. Psychosocially, these practices are driven by the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and the pursuit of social recognition within digital environments. The study further reveals a significant gap between individuals’ understanding of Islamic ethical values and their actual online behavior, a discrepancy shaped by peer influence and the algorithmic dynamics of social media platforms. Moreover, the analysis demonstrates that the concepts of tushaʿir, mukhtal, and fakhūr, as articulated in Tafsir Al-Misbah, provide a compelling interpretive framework for understanding manifestations of digital arrogance among Generation Z. The study concludes that M. Quraish Shihab’s exegetical thought remains highly relevant as a foundation for contemporary digital ethics and proposes a model of tawāḍuʿ-based digital literacy to foster the moral and spiritual well-being of young people in the digital age.

Tracing Islamic Moderatism in Tafsir An-Nur: A Study of Hasbi Ash-Shiddieqy's Thought and Its Relevance to Religious Moderation in Indonesia: Jejak Moderatisme Islam dalam Tafsir An-Nur: Studi Pemikiran Hasbi Ash-Shiddieqy Serta Relevansinya bagi Moderasi Keagamaan di Indonesia Muh.

This study aims to reconstruct the concept of religious moderation in Tafsir An-Nur by Hasbi Ash-Shiddieqy and examine its relevance within the Indonesian context. This research employs a qualitative approach using library research, focusing on a thematic (maudhu'i) analysis of Qur'anic verses that embody the values of religious moderation, including Qur'an 2:143, 2:43, 2:183, 4:3, and 2:282. The primary source of data is Tafsir An-Nur, while secondary data are drawn from various works on Qur'anic exegesis and studies of religious moderation. The data were analyzed through thematic identification, concept coding, interpretation, and synthesis. The findings reveal that Hasbi Ash-Shiddieqy constructs the concept of religious moderation through the principles of tawassuth (the middle path), tawazun (balance), and i'tidal (justice). The value of tawassuth is reflected in maintaining equilibrium between worldly and spiritual affairs while rejecting extremist attitudes. The principle of tawazun is manifested in the integration of spiritual and social dimensions, such as the interrelationship between prayer and zakat, as well as the balance between physical and spiritual well-being during fasting. Meanwhile, i'tidal is demonstrated through the emphasis on justice in family relationships and economic transactions. Hasbi's interpretation is contextual, rational, and practical, making it highly relevant to Indonesia's pluralistic society. Therefore, Tafsir An-Nur provides a valuable conceptual foundation for strengthening religious moderation in order to promote social harmony, prevent radicalism, and foster an inclusive and civilized religious life.

The Phenomenon of Brain Rot from the Perspective of Sufi Exegesis: A Study of Haqāʾiq al-Tafsīr by al-Sulamī: Fenomena Brain Rot dalam Perspektif Tafsir Sufistik: Studi atas Haqāʾiq al-Tafsīr Karya Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Sulamī. Nurhamidah Nurhamidah; Muhammad Rifan; Norhidayat Norhidayat

This study aims to examine the phenomenon of brain rot through the perspective of Sufi exegesis by analyzing Haqāʾiq al-Tafsīr of Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Sulamī. The phenomenon of brain rot has emerged as a contemporary issue associated with cognitive decline and diminished spiritual awareness resulting from excessive exposure to repetitive and low-quality digital content. This research employs a qualitative library research design using a Sufi hermeneutical approach. The primary source is Haqāʾiq al-Tafsīr, while secondary sources include Qur’anic commentaries, Sufi literature, and contemporary studies on brain rot, digital psychology, and neuroscience. The collected data were analyzed through content analysis and thematic analysis. The findings indicate that al-Sulamī conceptualizes spiritual decline as a condition of ghaflah (heedlessness), in which the heart is veiled by the dominance of the nafs and becomes detached from dhikr and deep reflection (tadabbur). In the context of the digital era, this condition corresponds to the characteristics of brain rot, where human attention is dominated by digital distraction and superficial information consumption. The study further identifies three Sufi-based approaches proposed in Haqāʾiq al-Tafsīr to restore spiritual awareness: muhāsabah al-nafs (self-accountability), continuous dhikr accompanied by khalwah (spiritual retreat), and the transformation of information consumption into reflective tadabbur. These findings demonstrate the relevance of al-Sulamī’s Sufi exegesis as a conceptual framework for understanding and responding to the spiritual dimensions of brain rot in contemporary digital society.

The Paradigm of Hadith Transmission Bi al-Maʿna: Reinterpretation and Infiltration in the Hadiths on Ablution and Zakat: Paradigma Periwayatan Hadis Bi Al-Ma’na: Upaya Reinterpretasi dan Infiltrasi Hadis Perintah Berwudhu dan Membayar Zakat Alif Hibatullah; Afro' Anzalina Nurizzati Arifah; Rif’iyatul Fahimah; Burhan Djamaluddin

This study aims to examine whether textual variations resulting from transmission bi al-maʿna should be understood as legitimate forms of interpretation or rather as instances of semantic infiltration into the hadith. Narration of hadith bi al-maʿna (transmission according to meaning) is one of the methods of hadith transmission that has long been debated among hadith scholars because of its potential to generate textual variations in the matn (text) of hadith. On the one hand, this method aims to preserve the substantive meaning of a hadith when its original wording cannot be recalled accurately. On the other hand, transmission bi al-maʿna also creates the possibility of semantic shifts and even textual interpolation within the hadith text. This study adopts a qualitative descriptive design employing matn criticism as its primary analytical approach. The analysis involves a comparative examination of parallel narrations, an assessment of potential semantic shifts, the identification of possible idraj (interpolation), and an evaluation of the narrations in light of the general principles of Islamic law. The study focuses on the hadith concerning the obligation to pay zakat al-fitr and the hadith instructing Muslims to complete the ablution (wuduʾ) properly. The findings indicate that the textual variation found in the hadith on zakat al-fitr falls within the category of ziyadat al-thiqah (addition by a trustworthy transmitter), which does not alter the substantive meaning of the narration and can therefore be regarded as a legitimate interpretive variation. In contrast, the hadith concerning the completion of ablution exhibits indications of idraj, suggesting the possibility of semantic infiltration resulting from the incorporation of a Companion's statement into the matn. Accordingly, matn criticism plays a crucial role in distinguishing between textual variations that constitute legitimate interpretive developments and those that potentially represent semantic infiltration in the transmission of hadith bi al-maʿna.

Reconstructing the Theological Foundation of Professional Zakat: A Semantic-Ushuli Reading of the Hadith of Mu’az ibn Jabal: Rekonstruksi Landasan Teologis Zakat Profesi: Pembacaan Semantik-Ushuli terhadap Hadis Mu'az bin Jabal Farhan Septyansah Farhan; Muhammad Ghifari Ghifari; Jaka Gyanovan

This study aims to reconstruct the theological basis of professional zakat through a semantic-ushuli analysis of the hadith concerning the Prophet's dispatch of Mu’az ibn Jabal to Yemen as narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari. Contemporary discussions of professional zakat have predominantly focused on jurisprudential issues, particularly the determination of nisab and hawl, while the theological foundation of its legal obligation embedded in the primary hadith sources has received limited scholarly attention. Employing a qualitative normative approach based on library research, the study integrates three analytical stages: linguistic-semantic analysis of the hadith text, interpretation through the framework of Maqasid al-Shari’ah, and qiyas as a supporting juridical mechanism. The analysis demonstrates that the phrase fi amwalihim constitutes a lafz ʿamm (general expression) encompassing all forms of productive wealth, whereas the phrase min aghniyaihim establishes financial capability rather than the type of asset as the principal criterion for zakat liability. Consequently, contemporary professional income fulfils the characteristics of al-mal al-nami (productive wealth) and ghinaʾ (financial sufficiency), thereby falling within the scope of the Prophetic text. The study further argues that professional zakat should not be regarded as an independent legal innovation but as a theological implication inherent in the universal wording of the hadith. These findings provide a stronger theological and methodological foundation for the contemporary legitimacy of professional zakat and reinforce its role in realizing the distributive objectives of Islamic law.

The Relationship between Community Religiosity and the Sorong Serah Aji Krame Tradition in Interpreting Marriage Hadiths among the Sasak Community of Central Lombok: Hubungan Religiusitas Masyarakat dengan Tradisi Sorong Serah Aji Krame dalam Interpretasi Hadis-Hadis Pernikahan pada Komunitas Sasak di Lombok Tengah Alya Farizki Aryandiningrum; Taqnain Taqnain

The Sorong Serah Aji Krame tradition is one of the Sasak community’s marriage traditions that is still practiced and is often associated with Islamic values, particularly marriage hadiths. However, studies on how the Sasak community understands, interprets, and represents marriage hadiths within this tradition remain relatively limited. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Sorong Serah Aji Krame tradition and examine how the Sasak community of Central Lombok understands and practices wedding hadiths within their customary framework. This research focuses on the execution of the tradition, the community’s understanding of matrimonial hadiths, and the extent to which hadith values are reflected in customary practices. Employing a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach to hadith reception, data were collected through in-depth virtual interviews with indigenous leaders, religious figures, and local residents, supported by relevant literature studies. The findings indicate that the Sasak community expresses their understanding of wedding hadith values through four symbolic dimensions. Readiness for marriage is represented through the concepts of nampak lemah and olen, while respect and responsibility toward one's wife are symbolized through sendah lanjaran. The principle of publicizing marriage (I’lan) is reflected through public processions, while the value of simplicity is preserved through customary deliberation mechanisms. These practices appear in four forms: the expression of I’lan values, the verification of marital maturity, the representation of hadith values through cultural symbols, and the transmission of these values across generations. This study concludes that the Sorong Serah Aji Krame tradition reflects community practices that are in accordance with Islamic law, without claiming that customary practices constitute a source or form of Islamic legislation

This study aims to develop a Qur’an-based counseling and psychotherapy model, focusing on the analysis of psychopathology found in Surah Yunus, verse 57. The research employs a qualitative approach using thematic exegesis (maudhu‘i) to uncover the deep meaning of the verse and its relevance to modern psychopathology concepts. Data were collected through a literature review involving classical tafsir, contemporary tafsir, and clinical psychology literature, and then analyzed hermeneutically to identify correlations between the Qur’anic message and therapeutic strategies. The findings indicate that Surah Yunus, verse 57 provides a four-dimensional framework for psychological healing: the educative-preventive dimension (al-maw‘izhah), the curative dimension (al-shifā’), the cognitive-preservative dimension (al-hudā), and the affective-spiritual development dimension (al-rahmah). These four dimensions can be adapted into a Qur’anic counseling model that emphasizes a balance between religious knowledge, self-understanding, cognitive restructuring, and spiritual strengthening. The implications of this model offer an alternative integrative approach that combines modern psychological principles with Islamic values for addressing mental disorders, particularly those related to anxiety, depression, and loss of life meaning. This study recommends the implementation of the Qur’anic counseling model based on Surah Yunus, verse 57 in Islamic mental health service settings as a holistic and transformative intervention strategy.

The Sea as a Symbol of Spirituality in the Qur'an and the Bible: Julia Kristeva's Intertextual Approach: Laut sebagai Simbol Spiritualitas dalam Al-Qur’an dan Alkitab: Pendekatan Intertekstual Julia Kristeva Riska Wahyuni; Ermaya Zunita Aprilia; Elok Atika; Muhammad Tubagus Soleh Tammimi Tammimi; Muhammad Ghifary Ramadhani Mallo

This study is grounded in the finding that the symbol of the sea in the Qur’an and the Bible reveals a parallel yet ambivalent structure of spiritual meaning, functioning both as a representation of humanity’s existential darkness and, simultaneously, as a manifestation of God’s greatness and omniscience. Based on this overarching finding, the study aims to examine the construction of the sea as a symbol in both sacred texts, to trace their similarities and differences through an intertextual lens, and to elucidate the symbolic relationship between the sea, humanity, and God within the two religious traditions. This research employs a qualitative, library-based methodology with a descriptive-analytical approach. Julia Kristeva’s intertextual theory is applied to compare narratives and representations of the sea in the Qur’an and the Bible, emphasizing the dialogical interaction between religious texts. The findings demonstrate that, despite emerging from distinct theological and historical contexts, both scriptures exhibit similar symbolic patterns in their interpretation of the sea. The sea is depicted as a space of inner darkness and moral disorder, as well as a sign of divine power that transcends human rationality. Consequently, this study contributes to the advancement of comparative religious discourse and broadens symbolic understanding in scriptural studies, particularly regarding the relationship between God, humanity, and nature.
