Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of interactive learning methods based on Islamic values in improving the understanding of noble character among fifth-grade students at MI Al Hasanah, with a focus on the values of honesty, responsibility, and politeness. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews with 20 students and three teachers, and analysis of learning documents. Data triangulation and thematic analysis based on Miles and Huberman (1994) were conducted to ensure validity. The results showed that interactive methods, such as group discussions, inspirational stories, and Quran-based simulations, increased student engagement by 90% and moral understanding scores from 65 to 82. Ninety percent of students demonstrated positive behavioral changes, with a 60% reduction in inter-student conflicts. Teacher training was identified as a key factor in the success of this method. The study concluded that this method is effective in shaping student character, with recommendations for developing instructional guidelines and teacher training for sustainability.

Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between ʿaql (human reason) and naql (divine revelation) in Islamic intellectual history. After defining these terms, it studies classical perspectives from early rationalists to Abū al-Ḥasan al-Ashʿarī (874–936 CE) and Abū Manṣūr al-Māturīdī (853–944 CE) theologians on whether apparent conflicts between reason and scripture can arise. Drawing on Qur’anic tafsīr and theological works of scholars like al‑Ghazzālī (1058–1111) and Ibn Taymiyyah (1263–1328), the study shows how genuine contradiction is considered impossible (since both reason and revelation originate from One Single God — Allāh ﷻ) but how unusual instances like mu‘jizāt (miracles) and ghāʾib (the unseen) may challenge habitual expectations. Case studies, like the ḥadīth about the fly, the Qur’ān (13:12-13) on lightning and thunder, and Day of Judgment signs like the westward sunrise, illustrate how premodern and contemporary scholars distinguish contrary to reason (logically impossible) from contrary to habit (empirically rare). A comparison between scientific reasoning and daily experiences with scriptural texts is made to show that true reconciliation involves contextual interpretation, recognition of the limits of reason, and assent to divine omnipotence. The paper concludes that in mainstream Sunni thought, reason and revelation are ultimately harmonious: any apparent conflict must be addressed by careful analysis, metaphorical readings, or admission that human knowledge is incomplete.

Abstract

This study examines technology based teaching methods for Islamic Cultural History (SKI) at MAN 4 Sleman from the perspective of Ki Hajar Dewantara's teaching methods. This study uses a qualitative approach based on a systematic literature review and collects data from various historical literature, classical Islamic education, and current academic sources. The results of the study indicate that the transformation of SKI learning in the digital era not only highlights technological advances but also emphasizes the importance of character building and moral values among students. Although digital media such as LMS, interactive videos, and infographics have been used, the aforementioned approach remains informative and lacks context and reflection. Ki Hajar Dewantara's educational philosophy, encompassing the trilogy of education “Ing Ngarso Sung Tulodo,” “Ing Madyo Mangun Karso,” and “Tut Wuri Handayani,” is crucial in developing an SKI learning model that is not only cognitively robust but also socially effective and resilient.

Abstract

The role and status of women in the Qur'an have been a crucial discourse because of diverse interpretative approaches with the classical and modern Muslim scholarship. Classical exegetes like al-Ṭabarī, Imam Qurtubi, and Ibn Kathīr often analysed verses about women within juridical and narrative contexts, reflecting the socio-historical circumstances of their era and perpetuating existing hierarchies. On the other hand, modern exegetes like Muhammad ʿAbduh, Muhammad Asad, and the Indian scholar Abul Kalam Azad strove to reinterpret these verses through the lens of intellectual inquiry, universal principles, and the pressing ethical demands of their society. The other perspective generated by the Muslim feminist scholars of the modern era like Amina Wadud and Asma Barlas, have developed women-centred hermeneutics based on gender justice. This study conducts a comparative analysis of specific verses related to creation, marriage, divorce, polygamy, and spiritual equality. Despite diverse interpretive approaches, the study focuses on the interpretations based on justice when viewed through maqāṣid (objectives) basis. The paper argues that gender inequities are not rooted in the Qur’an itself but in human interpretations across history. A maqāṣid-oriented approach upholds women as equal moral agents before God and emphasizes a holistic vision of their dignity. It highlights not only respect and equality but also safeguarding women’s spiritual accountability, intellectual agency, economic rights, and familial well-being.

Abstract

Cosmic nihilism offers no intrinsic meaning of human life in the vastness and emptiness of the cosmic ocean. The concept of God/Allah was merely a delusion in the brain of homo sapience. There is no divine truth outside the human brain since our brain is merely a belief-making machine. The trend of New Atheism is quite noticeable since the 9/11 attacks. Every religious belief is under scrutiny till now. When the world religions fail drastically to satisfy skeptical youth minds around the world, Can Islam show any signature for the existence of any transcendental reality? This research will use qualitative methodology. The textual and content analysis will be done from Taslima Nasrin’s fictional work ‘Sexboy’ and Bill Bryson’s non-fictional work, ‘A Short History of Nearly Everything’. Then, this research would try to look for some content from Islamic literature against the tragedy of God that the scientific worldview is trying to convince the global youth. This research is important because there was no response from Islamic perspective on these two important nihilistic works of Nasrin and Bryson. This research would suggest that Muslim intellectuals should develop Islamic thought based on a fresh interpretation of the Quran to encounter the scientific worldview that New Atheist writers are trying to advocate for global youth in the 21st century.

Abstract

Hazrat Shah Niaz Ahmad Barelvi (1742–1834) was a distinguished Sufi saint, poet, and scholar of the Indian subcontinent, and the founder of the Niazi Sufi Order. Associated with the Chishti, Qadiri, Nizami, Sabri, and Naqshbandi orders, he played a vital role in preserving and transmitting the spiritual heritage of Sufism during the eighteenth century. His khanqah in Bareilly emerged as a beacon of spiritual enlightenment and religious tolerance, attracting seekers from diverse backgrounds, including Hindus and Muslims, from across the subcontinent and beyond. A prolific writer and poet, Shah Niaz authored numerous works in Arabic, Persian and Urdu covering both exoteric and esoteric sciences. His poetry, infused with themes of divine love (ishq) and Wahdat al-Wujud (Unity of Being), represents one of the finest expressions of mystical thought in South Asia. This article highlights his life, lineage, spiritual training, writings, and his unique contribution to Sufi philosophy and literature.

Abstract

Notwithstanding the diverse cultural and historical trajectories of modern societies, contemporary debates on religion and modernity frequently operate on the assumption that religious fervor must be restrained in order to achieve social progress and adapt to the changing demands of modern life. Although this assumption is commonly associated with Western liberalism, it is equally visible within the neo-colonial dynamics of postcolonial Kerala’s communist–secular project[1]. Kerala, widely celebrated for its religious pluralism, high literacy, and cultural diversity, has in recent years become the subject of growing criticism from religious and cultural practitioners and leaders. Within the broader context of neoliberal and neo-colonial transformation, neo-Marxist forces have played a leading role in advancing what critics describe as dialectical reinforcements that erode religious and cultural identities, particularly those of Muslim communities. These ideological pressures have increasingly generated anxiety and discouragement among religious populations regarding the future of cultural and religious pluralism, as modernity and liberalism advance their marginalizing tendencies[2]. The contemporary neo-Marxist influence in Kerala thus appears to reproduce patterns of cultural suppression reminiscent of colonial regimes. Drawing on theories of cultural alienation, ideological state apparatuses[3], and postcolonial critique, this article demonstrates how Kerala’s Marxist secularism operates within a distinct postcolonial and communist context while simultaneously mirroring this ideological formation’s objective of defanging Islam.

Abstract

Superstitious practices continue to permeate some segments of Nupe Muslims communities in Niger State, Nigeria, despite Islamic strong emphasis on monotheistic teaching and rational belief. This paper explores the root causes-such as ignorance of Islamic teachings, cultural syncretism, poverty, and inadequate religious leadership-as well as the socio-religious, economic, and developmental consequences of these practices. Islamic corrective measures grounded in Tawhīd, Da’wah, and community-based education; alongside relevant government policy interventions were explored. Employing a review of literature and qualitative field evidence, the study argues that tackling superstition through integrated religious and policy frameworks can foster moral renewal, improve social cohesion, and enhance productivity, and support national development. Suggestions among others that include establishment of Qur’anic counselling and guidance centres, economic empowerment to reduce dependence on spiritual exploiters, collaborative initiative among Islamic Scholars, policymakers, and community leaders to design culturally sensitive educational programs, enforce health and socio-economics policies, and reinforce authentic Islamic values, thereby catalysing sustainable progress are hereby made.

Abstract

This study, which examines the continued dominance of transmissive and authority-centred teaching methods in madrasa education, falls under the umbrella of Islamic education reform and critical pedagogy. Many madrasas still use teaching methods that restrict students' critical involvement, dialogical interaction, and sociopolitical awareness despite continuous modernisation initiatives. By offering a revolutionary paradigm grounded in dialogical learning and critical consciousness, this article seeks to reconstruct madrasa education through the prism of Paulo Freire's critical pedagogy. This topic was chosen in response to current discussions on decolonising Islamic education and increasing its applicability in pluralistic settings. This study integrates Freirean theory with key Islamic educational ideas such as tarbiyah, shura (consultation), and moral agency through a qualitative conceptual analysis supported by a critical literature survey. According to the working hypothesis, emancipatory learning can be promoted within madrasa systems while maintaining an Islamic epistemological foundation through critical pedagogical approaches. The results show that a dialogical and participative instructional approach strengthens students' ability for reflection, ethical reasoning, and social responsibility. By providing a theoretically based reform paradigm that connects Islamic educational philosophy and Western critical pedagogy, the study advances the field. In summary, using a Freirean method to rebuild madrasa education is not only a pedagogical novelty; rather, it is a calculated move toward developing Muslim students who are socially and intellectually engaged
