Abstract

This article examines Qur’anic epistemology through the lens of virtue epistemology as a response to the epistemic crisis of the post-truth era. Previous studies on Qur’anic epistemology have primarily focused on the sources and methods of knowledge, while the dimension of epistemic virtues has received limited attention. This study employs a library research method with a conceptual approach to the Qur’anic verses and contemporary epistemological literature. The findings reveal that Qur’anic epistemology integrates reason, sensory perception, and the heart, with taqwa serving as the epistemic foundation and hikmah as the highest epistemological goal. This framework regards public benefit (maslahah) as an essential criterion of valid knowledge and emphasizes epistemic responsibility, epistemic justice, and intellectual humility. The study demonstrates that Qur’anic epistemology contributes to the discourse of virtue epistemology and provides a normative framework for addressing the challenges of the post-truth era.

Abstract

This article revisits QS. Al-Hujurat (49): 6 as a Qur'anic ground for digital tabayyun in Islamic communication. The problem discussed is not only the spread of hoaxes, but also the speed with which religious messages are shared before their sources, context, and social effects are examined. The study uses a qualitative library approach by reading Qur'anic communication verses thematically and relating them to verification, framing, audience awareness, gatekeeping, and digital literacy. The analysis finds that tabayyun is a moral pause before speaking, posting, forwarding, or framing religious content. Qaulan sadidan emphasizes accurate and honest wording, qaulan baligha calls for audience-sensitive expression, and da'wah bi al-hikmah guides the circulation of messages with wisdom. The article proposes three ethical steps for Islamic communication in digital spaces: verification, formulation, and dissemination. Through these steps, Qur'anic tafsir can speak to contemporary communication practice, so religious messages remain truthful, responsible, and socially calming amid the pressure of viral culture.

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of Qur’anic exegesis references in Friday sermons delivered at several mosques affiliated with the Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim Education Foundation in Gowa Regency. It employed a descriptive design using 20 structured assessment responses on a five-point Likert scale collected from parties involved in the implementation of Friday sermons. Five indicators were examined: the relevance of the selected verse to the sermon theme, the delivery of a complete translation, the citation of the translation source, the explanation of verses based on a particular tafsir, and the mention of a tafsir work. The data were processed through frequency distributions, percentages, and mean scores, while documentation and field notes were used to clarify the context. The findings indicate that selecting verses relevant to the sermon theme reached a very high category with a mean score of 4.40, while presenting a complete translation was high at 3.50. Explaining verses using a particular tafsir scored 3.10 and mentioning a tafsir work scored 2.80, both in the moderate category. Citing the translation source was the weakest aspect, with a mean score of 2.20 or a low category. These findings show that the sermons were strongly oriented toward Qur’anic texts, yet source transparency and the consistent use of exegetical authority had not become established practices. Strengthening source literacy, preparing sermon guidelines based on authoritative tafsir works, and introducing concise citation practices are necessary to improve the accuracy and educational value of Friday sermons.

Abstract

This study describes the Maca Yasin tradition in Bajo Village, Tilamuta Subdistrict, Boalemo Regency. The main framework of this study is: The practice and the religious legitimacy of the Maca Yasin tradition. This research is a field study employing a phenomenological approach, with data analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods. As a complement, the theoretical framework utilized is the study of the living Qur’an, with the primary objective of the research being to uncover the understanding of the Bajo Village community regarding the Maca Yasin tradition and its implementation process. The results of this study indicate that only a minority of the Bajo Village community-specifically a few prominent figures-understand the religious legitimacy of the Maca Yasin tradition. Among these legitimacy are information from the Qur’an and Hadith regarding the command to recite the Qur’an, as well as the virtues of Surah Yasin as a cure and the heart of the Qur’an. The Maca Yasin tradition is performed every Monday and Friday night, and when someone is sick, with the aim of seeking healing, warding off misfortune, asking for sustenance, and for various other occasions. The implications of this research are oriented toward the preservation of cultural traditions, particularly religious activities that encompass the living Qur’an.

Abstract

This article discusses the reinterpretation of the mutasyabihat verse Yadullāh Fauqa Aidīhim in Q.S. Al-Fath verse 10, which has generated many debates among Muslims regarding the meaning of the mutasyabihat verse. This study employs the semiotic theory developed by Roland Barthes. In uncovering a new meaning of the phrase Yadullāh Fauqa Aidīhim, the author examines both classical and contemporary interpretations and combines them with Roland Barthes’ theory of denotation and connotation. Denotatively, the word yadun means “hand”; however, connotatively, it may signify arm, handle, grip, power, promise, role, and duty. The connotative meaning then gives rise to an ideology that eventually forms a myth. Thus, the word “hand,” which initially belongs to the domain of attributes, shifts into the domain of power. This is interpreted as Allah’s absolute ability and authority over everything He wills.

Abstract

This studies focusing on the Qur'anic concept of 'aql from the perspective of Tafsir Ibn Katsir remain limited. Therefore, this study aims to examine the concept of 'aql in the Qur'an through Ibn Katsir exegesis and to analyze its function as a medium through which human beings develop their relationship with Allah SWT. This study employed a qualitative library research approach using descriptive analysis. Primary data were obtained from the Qur'an and Tafsir Ibn Katsir, while secondary data were collected from Qur'anic exegesis books, scholarly articles, books, and other relevant literature. Data were gathered through documentation and analyzed using the thematic (maudhu'i) interpretation approach combined with content analysis to identify, classify, and interpret Qur'anic verses related to the concept of 'aql. The findings reveal three main points. First, the term 'aql appears exclusively in verbal forms, particularly as present-tense verbs and imperative forms, with a total occurrence of 49 instances in the Qur'an. Second, the concept of 'aql can be classified into five dimensions: its role in comprehending physical, psychological, metaphysical, eschatological, religious, and historical realities; its grammatical use as the subject in the forms ya'qilūn, lā ya'qilūn, and ta'qilūn; the consequences of neglecting reason and the corresponding accountability in the Hereafter; the interaction between reason and the heart in shaping righteous behavior; and the inconsistency between rational understanding and human conduct as a characteristic of hypocrisy. Third, reason serves a significant role in the relationship between human beings and Allah SWT by enabling the recognition of God's existence, guiding individuals to obey divine commands and avoid prohibitions, and fostering love for Allah through awareness of His greatness. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the Qur'anic concept of 'aql by highlighting Ibn Katsir's distinctive interpretation of the relationship between reason, revelation, and faith.
