Abstract

This research examines the concept of nafsin wahidah in Surah An-Nisa verse 1 through Asma Barlas's anti-patriarchal theological perspective to address the dominance of classical exegesis that exhibits gender bias. This verse is often used to justify gender hierarchy through the narrative of Eve's creation from Adam's rib, despite the Qur'an not explicitly mentioning this. The significance of this study lies in its attempt to deconstruct the patriarchal legacy within the exegetical tradition that has resulted in social and legal inequalities against Muslim women. This research employs a qualitative approach with text analysis methods based on Asma Barlas's hermeneutics of tawhid, involving linguistic and historical analysis of QS. An-Nisa verse 1, as well as comparisons between classical exegesis and Barlas's approach in Believing Women in Islam. The analysis reveals that nafsin wahidah refers to the non-gendered and equal essence of humanity, rather than representing Adam as a superior male. Barlas dismantles patriarchal assumptions in classical exegesis by demonstrating that the concept of zaujaha emphasizes mutuality, not subordination. The hermeneutics of tawhid developed by Barlas positions the principle of God's oneness as the ethical and theological foundation for understanding gender equality. This research affirms that the Qur'an, when read contextually and justly, supports egalitarian relations between men and women. It is recommended that the hermeneutics of tawhid approach be applied more broadly in exegetical studies to build an inclusive and gender-just Islamic theology.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of using ChatGPT in interpreting the Qur’an by comparing its interpretations with those of classical tafsir. The research employed a qualitative comparative analytical design using a library-based approach. Three Qur’anic verses, namely Surah Yunus: 26, Āli ‘Imran: 130, and Yunus: 89, were analyzed across three dimensions: linguistic accuracy, contextual understanding, and depth of interpretation. The results indicate that while ChatGPT provides coherent and accessible explanations, it lacks the methodological rigor and contextual depth characteristic of traditional tafsir. This study provides an initial mapping of the strengths and limitations of artificial intelligence in Qur’anic interpretation and emphasizes the need to develop an integrative methodological framework to ensure that AI-based tafsir remains consistent with scholarly and Sharia principles. Future research is recommended to explore other AI models and to develop tafsir-based filters to enhance interpretive validity.

Abstract

The rapid globalization of the food industry and the rising awareness of Muslim consumers have profoundly reshaped the interpretation of the Qur’anic concepts of ḥalāl and ṭayyib in Indonesia. While classical exegesis confined their meanings to legal permissibility and physical cleanliness, contemporary interpretations view ḥalāl–ṭayyib as multidimensional principles encompassing nutrition, health, ethical production, and environmental sustainability. This study aims to explore the transformation of Qur’anic interpretations of ḥalāl and ṭayyib from the classical to the contemporary period within the Indonesian exegetical tradition. Employing a qualitative library research design, it applies thematic content analysis to three major works: Marāḥ Labīd by Nawawī al-Bantanī, Al-Azhar by Hamka, and Al-Mishbāḥ by Quraish Shihab. The findings reveal a paradigmatic shift from a normative–legal framework to a contextual approach that integrates social, health, and ecological dimensions. This transformation reinforces the maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah (objectives of Islamic law) in the domain of consumption and provides a philosophical foundation for contemporary ḥalāl certification policies and the development of Indonesia’s modern ḥalāl industry.

Abstract

Contemporary Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curricula often suffer from fragmentation and technocratic reductionism that separate knowledge from values and moral responsibility. This study addresses the need for a more coherent curriculum framework by examining the Qur’an not merely as a normative source, but as an architectural foundation for curriculum design. The purpose of this study is to reconstruct the PAI curriculum based on thematic Qur’anic exegesis by articulating Qur’anic values and epistemology as organizing principles of educational aims, pedagogy, and assessment. Employing qualitative library research, the study applies thematic exegesis (al-tafsīr al-maudūʿī) to Qur’anic verses related to education, knowledge, and human responsibility, complemented by critical curriculum theory analysis. The findings reveal that Qur’anic values tauhīd, akhlāq or adab, ʿilm, and social responsibility function as an integrated curriculum architecture rather than isolated content areas. Moreover, Qur’anic epistemology conceptualizes knowledge as an amānah acquired through reflective and dialogical processes and validated through ethical praxis. These findings demonstrate that Qur’an-based curriculum reconstruction is an epistemological and pedagogical endeavor capable of producing a coherent, value-oriented, and contextually relevant PAI curriculum.

Abstract

This study aims to examine market mechanisms based on Qur’an, Surah An-Nisa verse 29, and their relevance to business competition practices in the marketplace era. It also highlights the role of the government in building a conducive business climate to achieve a healthy and equitable economy. The research method used is qualitative with a library research approach. Data were collected from various sources, including classical Qur’anic exegesis (tafsir), academic literature, books, and relevant research articles, and were then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The results show that Islam fundamentally allows market mechanisms to operate naturally without intervention from any party. Economic activities must be conducted in accordance with Sharia principles, based on mutual consent among the involved parties, and must avoid actions that harm others. However, the verse also implies the need for government intervention in certain circumstances when the market fails to function properly, such as in cases of monopoly practices or unfair competition in both traditional and digital markets. In the Indonesian context, the government has enacted Law Number 5 of 1999 as a legal instrument prohibiting monopolistic practices and unfair business competition. In addition to this regulation, the government carries out its role through supervisory and protective functions. Economic policy formulation is also undertaken to support business sustainability. Therefore, the government’s role is not only to maintain the stability of market mechanisms but also to ensure that the principles of justice and welfare are realized for all business actors.

Abstract

This study examines social media users’ perceptions of the Qur’an-based standards of an ideal da’i in the context of digital da’wah. The rapid development of information technology has reshaped how the public selects and evaluates da’i on social media. In many cases, da’i are recognized more for delivery style and visual presentation than for scholarly authority, raising concerns about the authenticity of da’wah values rooted in the Qur’an. The study aims to describe the level of understanding and perception within the digital community regarding the Qur’anic standards of an ideal da’i and to analyze tendencies in perceptual differences across demographic backgrounds. The research uses a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis and a One-Way ANOVA to assess perception levels and examine differences by gender, age group, and educational level. The findings show that social media users’ perceptions fall within the moderate category (overall mean = 2.88), indicating a fairly good understanding of Qur’anic values for an ideal da’i. However, these values are not yet fully used as the primary reference when evaluating da’i figures on social media. In addition, significant perceptual differences are found across gender, age, and educational groups, suggesting that demographic characteristics influence how users evaluate the ideal da’i according to Qur’anic da’wah values.

Abstract

The interpretation of the inheritance verses in Surah An-Nisa cannot be separated from the social and cultural context surrounding the interpreters. This study aims to uncover the socio-cultural impressions in the interpretation of the inheritance verses by three Indonesian exegetes: Zainuddin Hamidy, Fachruddin HS, and Mahmud Yunus. All three lived during the period of the development of modern Islam in Indonesia, marked by efforts to rationalize Islamic teachings and adapt to societal dynamics. The analysis was conducted through a qualitative-descriptive approach using the content analysis method of their exegetes, particularly their interpretations of the inheritance verses in Surah An-Nisa. This study highlights how social conditions, customs, and Islamic legal discourse in Indonesia during their time influenced their interpretation of the principles of justice, gender equality, and inheritance distribution. The results show that the three exegetes provide nuanced interpretations that demonstrate an awareness of the socio-cultural context. Overall, their interpretations reflect an effort to balance sharia norms and social reality, thus enriching the treasury of Indonesian interpretations that are moderate and responsive to changing times.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of illegal cigarettes and illegal thrifting in Indonesia through the lens of maqāşid al-Syarī’ah and the principle of religious moderation in the Qur’an. This study uses a library-based method with descriptive analysis of the interpretation of QS al-Mā’idah (5):87-88 and al-Naḥl  (16):116, as well as Indonesian laws and regulations governing excise and trade, specifically Law No. 39/2007 on Excise and Law No. 7/2014 on Trade. The findings show that these two illegal practices are not only violations of positive law regarding the obligation to pay excise and the prohibition on importing used clothing, but also manifestations of “exceeding limits” and “prevarication in law” in economic activities, which are strongly condemned in the Qur’an. These practices clearly contradict the principles of maqāṣid al-Shari’ah, especially in protecting property (ḥifẓ al-Māl), life (ḥifẓ al-Nafs), and intellect (ḥifẓ al-’Aql), as they undermine state revenue, damage the national industrial structure, and increase health risks while normalizing fraud in society. In conclusion, eradicating illegal cigarettes and illegal thrifting practices is a concrete manifestation of religious moderation, because it rejects extremism in the form of ignoring Sharia norms and state laws, while affirming the synergy between Islamic values and the enforcement of fair fiscal and trade regulations to achieve economic justice and public welfare.

Abstract

QS. An-Nisā’:92 emphasizes the responsibility of perpetrators of qatl al-khaṭa’ (unintentional killing) through the obligation to free a Muslim slave, pay diyat, or fast as kaffārat. This verse not only contains legal provisions, but also offers a moral framework and restorative justice that is relevant to cases of traffic accidents caused by negligence. This study aims to examine the classification of traffic accidents due to negligence as qatl al-khaṭa' in the perspective of Islamic law and compare it with Indonesian positive law regulations. The research uses a qualitative approach with library research and Hans-Georg Gadamer's hermeneutic analysis methods, through the stages of pre-understanding, dialogue with the text, and fusion of horizons to link the meaning of QS. An-Nisā':92 with contemporary legal reality. The results of the study show that traffic accidents caused by negligence fall under the category of qatl al-khaṭa’, which carries moral, legal, and social consequences that require the perpetrator to be held proportionally accountable. In Indonesian positive law, the handling of similar cases focuses on criminal sanctions, while compensation for victims and/or heirs is partly facilitated through the Jasa Raharja social insurance compensation scheme as basic state protection, not diyat imposed directly on the perpetrator. This pattern provides material compensation, but does not fully accommodate relational and spiritual recovery as outlined in QS. An-Nisā':92, so that the principle of justice in this verse can be used as an ethical reference to enrich the design of traffic accident settlements in Indonesia.

Abstract

Water in the Qur’an occupies a very important position, not only as a physical element but also as having sacred spiritual and theological dimensions. Amid the global ecological crisis and advances in reproductive bioethics, the meaning of water is often reduced to a mere economic commodity or a passive biological object. This study aims to deconstruct the shift in the meaning of al-mā’ in QS. Al-Anbiyā’ [21]: 30 using Roland Barthes’ semiotics to reveal the layers of meaning contained within literal, symbolic, and ideological that are relevant to the contemporary context. The method used in this research is qualitative-hermeneutic, focusing on Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis technique which is capable of dissecting the text into three layers: denotation, connotation, and myth. The results show that at the denotation level, al-mā’ signifies water as a vital element of life and sperm as the biological origin of humans. At the connotation level, water transforms into a symbol of God’s grace, a sign of cosmic origins, spiritual purity, and the continuity of generations. At the myth level, al-mā’ represents the ideology of biological sustainability, ecology, and “green theology”. It also represents the responsibility of humans as khalifah (stewards) to protect a divine trust. Furthermore, the Qur’an offers a “counter-myth” against a modernity that deadens water and exploits nature. Water is a theological mandate, not merely a limitless commodity to be freely exploited. This research provides a significant contribution by asserting that water conservation is a tawhid (monotheistic) obligation rather than just an ethical choice.
