Abstract

This article aims to analyze the principle of religious freedom in the Qur'an, focusing on Q.S. Al-Baqarah verse 256, and its relevance as a theological basis for interfaith harmony in North Sulawesi. This study uses a library research method with a qualitative-descriptive approach based on thematic interpretation (mauhdu'i).  The research data sources include primary data consisting of verses from the Qur'an, classical and contemporary interpretations. Sociological analysis is used as an interpretive approach, utilizing the theories of Peter L. Berger and José Casanova to examine the relationship between theological principles and social practices of diversity. The results of the study show that the verse "la ikraha fi al-din" is not merely an affirmation of freedom to choose a religion, but also a manifestation of spiritual freedom that underlies social harmony in a pluralistic society. In the context of North Sulawesi, the value of religious freedom is reflected through the practices of dialogue, tolerance, and cooperation among religious communities that flourish thanks to the local wisdom of mapalus as a symbol of communal solidarity. The findings of this study confirm that freedom of religion is not only related to theological aspects, but also functions as an instrument of social development, affirmation of national identity, and strengthening of humanitarian ethics in Indonesia's multicultural life.

Abstract

The phenomenon of fatherlessness in society is not only caused by father who absents physically, but also psychologically absence in the development of their children.  Children raised with the absence of paternal role tend to face psychological challenges, which may prevent their ability to develop their idemtity and the capacity to establish healthy social relationship. A father who serves as qawwam in the family, is expected to protect, educate, and responsible towards his family, especially to play role to educate their children. This study is aimed to examine how Mutawalli Asy-Sya’rawi interprets the concept of qawwam, as well as to discuss how Asy-Sya’rawi view of the qawwam relates to the phenomenon of fatherlessness. This research is classified as qualitative research with a descriptive-analytical method. The approaches used are tafsir maudhu’i and conceptual approach. The data used in this study is devided into primary, secondary, and tertiary that collected trough the library research methods. The results show that Asy-Sya’rawi defines a qawwam not only as a leader, caretaker, and protector, but also as an educator within the family. The concept of qawwam is not limited into a form of male domination towards his wife, but also includes a father’s responsibility towards his children, and an brother’s responsibility towards his sister. A father who fulfills his role as a qawwam with full of awareness to his accountability to Allah will also contribute to the children’s education, thereby reducing the likehood of the childrens experiencing a fatherless situation. The role of qawwam is not limited to the biological father, because if the father has passed away, his role can be replaced by the grandfather or parental uncle, just as Prophet Muhammad, who, although born as an orphan, was not in a fatherless situation because he was cared for by his grandfather and uncle

Abstract

This study analyzes the spiritual and social functions of the practice of reading Surah Yasin on the night of Nishfu Sha'ban at the Al-Muttaqien Mosque in South Jakarta through the Living Qur'an approach and the perspective of the sociology of religion. This study aims to reveal the ritual structure, the meaning given by the congregation, the social functions, and the dynamics of religious legitimacy that accompany the continuity of this tradition. The findings indicate that the Yasinan ritual has been institutionalized. Thus, this study expands the Living Qur'an study by showing that the Qur'an in the context of the Nishfu Sha'ban ritual functions as a ritual social structure that organizes collective actions, frames the religious experiences of the congregation, and maintains the continuity of religious traditions through established social mechanisms as an annual collective practice passed down from generation to generation, with a relatively stable implementation structure from year to year. The congregation’s interpretation of Surah Yasin is rooted in beliefs regarding its virtues and strengthened by recurring spiritual experiences that foster tranquility and a sense of closeness to God. Moreover, the ritual plays a significant role in strengthening social cohesion, enhancing communal solidarity, and transmitting religious values to younger generations. Despite differing scholarly views on the authenticity of hadiths related to Nishfu Sha’ban, the community responds pragmatically by emphasizing the ritual’s social benefits and spiritual value. This study demonstrates that Yasinan is not merely a spiritual practice but also an adaptive social institution within urban Muslim society. The research opens pathways for further studies in other Muslim communities to better understand contemporary religious practices.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the holistic meaning of Asbab al-Nuzul of educational verses as a guide in addressing the crisis of the chain of knowledge transmission caused by artificial intelligence (AI), which increasingly reduces the role of teachers. The urgency of this research lies in the role and responsibility of Islamic education in shaping the character of students in the presence of AI, particularly concerning these issues. This study is designed using a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing library research as the primary source. The current moral shift away from Qur'anic values is not surprising. Therefore, to cultivate good character in students, the presence of humans as role models, inspirators, motivators, and facilitators is required, and it is not sufficient through AI technology alone. Keywords: Asbab al-Nuzul, Educational Verses, Artificial Intelligence, Character Education.
Al-Jābirī’s Nuzūlī Exegesis in the Discourse of Contemporary Exegesis: Between Tradition and the Modern Historical Approach: Tafsir Nuzūlī Al-Jābirī dalam Diskursus Tafsir Kontemporer: Antara Tradisi dan Pendekatan Historis Modern Faris Maulana Akbar

Abstract

Chronological interpretation of the Qur'an (tafsīr nuzūlī) has evolved through the interaction between the Islamic exegetical tradition and modern historical approaches. Nevertheless, the intellectual position of Muḥammad ‘Ābid al-Jābirī within this development has not been comprehensively examined. This article aims to analyze the intellectual position and methodological characteristics of al-Jābirī’s tafsīr nuzūlī within contemporary Qur'anic exegesis. Employing a qualitative library research design with a historical-comparative approach, the study draws primarily on Madkhal ilā al-Qur’ān al-Karīm and Fahm al-Qur’ān al-Ḥakīm, complemented by relevant scholarship on Qur'anic chronology, tafsīr nuzūlī, and contemporary Qur'anic interpretation. The analysis identifies the methodological features of al-Jābirī’s exegesis, compares them with earlier chronological commentaries, and maps their relationship to broader developments in contemporary tafsir. The findings demonstrate that al-Jābirī reformulates tafsīr nuzūlī by synthesizing classical exegetical reports, historical inquiry, and the framework of qirā’ah mu‘āṣirah. Unlike earlier chronological exegetes, he develops an ijmālī-mawḍū‘ī structure with a tārīkhī-falsafī orientation, integrating chronological reading, historical analysis, and the contemporary actualization of Qur'anic meaning. The study further reveals that al-Jābirī occupies a mediating intellectual position by preserving the epistemological foundations of the Islamic exegetical tradition while critically incorporating historical approaches without embracing revisionist assumptions. These findings establish al-Jābirī as a significant contributor to the development of modern tafsīr nuzūlī and advance the conceptual mapping of contemporary Qur'anic exegetical methodology.
