Abstract

Inheritance remains one of the most contested legal domains in Indonesia’s pluralistic society, where Islamic law and customary (adat) law frequently intersect and, at times, conflict. This tension is particularly pronounced within the Toba Batak community, which upholds a patrilineal inheritance system that prioritizes male heirs and often excludes women. This study aims to examine the concept of justice in Islamic inheritance law through a thematic exegesis (tafsīr mawdū‘ī) of Surah An-Nisā’ verses 7, 11, and 12, and to assess its relevance to the Batak Toba customary inheritance system. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytical method and drawing primarily on Tafsīr al-Qurṭubī, the study finds that the Qur’an establishes a framework of proportional justice in which both men and women are granted inheritance rights based on social and financial responsibilities. The main finding of this study is that the exclusion of women in the Batak Toba inheritance system is not only inconsistent with Qur’anic principles but can be critically reconstructed through a justice-oriented interpretive approach. The findings reveal a significant gap between Qur’anic principles and the exclusionary nature of customary practices. This study argues that Islamic inheritance law offers not only a normative legal framework but also a transformative ethical foundation for reconstructing customary inheritance systems toward greater inclusivity and gender equity in contemporary society. Future research is recommended to incorporate empirical field studies to examine community responses and the practical challenges of implementing more equitable inheritance models.

Abstract

This article examines The Living Qur’an phenomenon at the Pondok Pesantren Al-Qur’an Asy-Syahadah Surabaya, which has been taking place since 2018 and is carried out through the tradition of reciting five selected surahs after the obligatory prayers. The surahs recited include al-Fīl, al-Inshirāh, al-Nasr, al-Falaq, and al-Mu’minūn [23]: 29. This phenomenon reflects a routine practice that is consistently carried out, thereby fostering a spiritual culture within the boarding school environment. This research is important because it demonstrates how the Qur’anic text is alive in the daily reality of the pesantren through deeply rooted collective practices. The objective of this study is to describe the process of carrying out the tradition and to understand its meaning for the caretakers, administrators, and students. The method used is qualitative, specifically field research. The Living Qur’an approach is combined with Karl Mannheim’s Sociology of Knowledge analytical framework. Data sources were obtained through observation, interviews, documentation, and supporting literature. The research findings indicate that the tradition of reciting five selected surahs is performed in congregation and in sequence according to specific protocols. Surah al-Fīl is recited seven times, al-Inshirāh once with certain phrases repeated in both surahs al-Nasr once, al-Falaq three times, and al-Mu’minūn [23]:29 eleven times. From the perspective of Karl Mannheim’s Sociology of Knowledge, the meaning of this tradition encompasses three dimensions: objective meaning as an obligatory practice; expressive meaning as a form of worship, self-protection, and inner peace; and documentary meaning as a collective culture deeply rooted in the lives of the students.

Abstract

The development of Qur’anic exegesis reflects the dynamic interaction between revelation and the evolving intellectual, social, and political contexts of Muslim societies. The mutaakhkhirin (post-classical) period, spanning approximately the 4th to 12th centuries Hijri, represents a critical phase in this trajectory, marked by increasing methodological complexity and epistemological expansion. This study aims to analyze the historical dynamics, methodological transformation, and epistemological configuration of tafsir during this period. Employing a qualitative library research approach, the study draws on primary exegetical works and relevant secondary literature, analyzed through historical, methodological, and epistemological frameworks. The findings demonstrate that the development of tafsir in the mutaakhkhirin period cannot be adequately understood as a linear shift from tafsir bi al-ma’thur to tafsir bi al-ra’y. Rather, it reflects an integrative process in which transmitted knowledge and rational inquiry are systematically combined. This integration is further reinforced by the incorporation of linguistic, philosophical, and scientific disciplines, resulting in more analytical, structured, and context-sensitive interpretations. The study argues that this period represents a maturity in the evolution of tafsir, characterized by the reconfiguration of epistemic authority and the emergence of a synthetic interpretive framework. These findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of post-classical exegesis and highlight its relevance for modern Qur’anic interpretation.

Abstract

Toxic friendship in university settings has increasingly emerged as a destructive form of peer relationship characterized by manipulation, excessive control, jealousy, and a lack of empathy, posing a significant threat to students’ mental health and social well-being. This study aims to examine the impact of toxic friendship on students’ mental health and to formulate an ethical-preventive framework based on Dr. Lilian Glass’s psychological theory and the interpretive perspective of Tafsir Al-Misbah. This research employs a qualitative approach using a critical integrative literature review method, incorporating thematic analysis of relevant primary and secondary sources, including Toxic People, the Qur’an, Tafsir Al-Misbah, and recent scholarly publications. The findings indicate that toxic friendship contributes to decreased self-esteem, heightened levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as overthinking, social isolation, and diminished academic performance. Furthermore, M. Quraish Shihab’s interpretation of QS. Al-Furqan (25:28) and QS. Al-Hujurat (49:10-12) in Tafsir Al-Misbah underscores the importance of cultivating healthy relationships, maintaining ethical speech, and avoiding suspicion, gossip, and relational harm. Toxic friendship adversely affects students’ psychological well-being and social relationships, while Tafsir Al-Misbah offers a normative ethical foundation for fostering healthy, supportive, and value-based social bonds (ukhuwah).

Abstract

Death-related rituals in Muslim societies often reflect the dynamic interaction between Islamic teachings and local cultural practices. In Indonesia, particularly within Minangkabau society, such traditions are shaped by the integration of religious values and customary norms, creating distinctive forms of lived religious expression. This study aims to examine the practice of morning-evening grave talqin in Nagari Sialang Gaung, Dharmasraya Regency, as a manifestation of the Living Qur’an. Employing a qualitative field research design, the study draws on in-depth interviews and observations involving local religious leaders (urang siak) and family members of the deceased. The findings reveal that the talqin ritual, performed systematically for seven consecutive days after burial, functions not merely as a mortuary tradition but as a medium for embodying Qur’anic values in everyday life. The recitation of Qur’anic verses, supplications, and tahlil serves both as a spiritual effort to seek mercy and tranquility for the deceased and as a mechanism for reinforcing faith, social solidarity, and collective religious awareness among participants. From a Living Qur’an perspective, this practice illustrates how the Qur’an operates as a “living text,” continuously interpreted and enacted within specific socio-cultural contexts. The study contributes to broader discussions on lived Islam by demonstrating how scriptural teachings are negotiated, localized, and sustained through communal ritual practices in response to the existential reality of death.

Abstract

The interpretation of the death and ascension of Prophet Isa in the Qur’an remains a debated issue in Islamic exegesis, particularly regarding the meaning of tawaffā and the role of transmitted and rational sources in interpretation. Differences in exegetical approaches among classical scholars highlight the need for a critical and comparative analysis of their interpretive methods and sources. This study aims to analyze Qur’anic verses related to the death and ascension of Prophet Isa and to compare the interpretive approaches of al-Ṭabarī and al-Ālūsī. The research employs a qualitative library approach using thematic analysis and content analysis. It also applies sanad criticism within the framework of al-dakhīl fī al-tafsīr to evaluate the validity of transmitted reports. The findings show that the relevant verses include Q. 3:55, Q. 4:157–158, Q. 5:117, and Q. 19:33. The sources of interpretation in both tafsīr works consist of tafsīr bi al-ma’thūr, tafsīr bi al-ra’y, and isrā’īliyyāt. Both al-Ṭabarī and al-Ālūsī interpret tawaffā as the taking of Prophet Isa from the earth and his ascension to heaven. However, they differ methodologically: al-Ṭabarī strengthens his interpretations through Qur’anic cross-references, hadith, and companions’ opinions, while al-Ālūsī emphasizes linguistic and rational analysis. The study also finds that the isrā’īliyyāt narrations used are considered acceptable insofar as they align with Islamic teachings. This study contributes to understanding the diversity of classical tafsīr methodologies and highlights how different epistemological approaches shape interpretations of key theological issues.

Abstract

Over time a dialectic has emerged between tradition and a purer understanding of religion. Some people now view the mandi safar tradition not as a fate-determining ritual (avoiding idolatry), but rather as an effort to preserve customs (culture) and a means to strengthen bonds of brotherhood among residents. This article aims to examine the internalization of the Qur’an within the cultural ritual of mandi safar and to explore its religious and cultural meanings among the community of Air Hitam Laut Village, Sadu Subdistrict, East Tanjung Jabung Regency, Jambi Province. The article employs a qualitative method with a descriptive-interpretative approach within the Living Qur’an perspective. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with religious leaders, customary figures, and community members, as well as documentation studies. The findings indicate that the mandi safar tradition represents an integration of Qur’anic values and local tradition, symbolically manifested through the use of seven salamun verses (QS. Yasin: 58, QS. As-Saffat: 79, QS. As-Saffat: 109, QS. As-Saffat: 120, QS. As-Saffat: 130, QS. Az-Zumar: 73, QS. Al-Qadr: 5) as a medium of worship, supplication for protection (repelling calamity), and social cohesion. Beyond its religious significance, the ritual also serves cultural and economic functions, reflecting the dynamic and contextual character of Islamic religiosity in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study analyzes the story of the Prophet Yunus A. S. in QS. Verses 142–144 of As-Saffat are often discussed from modern rational and scientific perspectives, particularly regarding the possibility of human survival in the belly of a large fish. This discussion shows the conflict between religious interpretations and modern biological logic, which is increasingly gaining strength in the digital world. This research aims to reconstruct the understanding of the story of the Prophet Yunus through the maqashidi interpretation, as an effort to address rational skepticism without ignoring the theological truth in the Qur’an. The method used is qualitative research using literature studies, which includes analysis of relevant verses, books of interpretation from the past and modern, and related scientific sources. The findings of the study show that the word al-ḥut does not refer to a specific species of fish, but rather to a category of large fish as a whole, so it is not limited by modern biological assumptions. In addition, the story of the Prophet Yunus is understood as a theological reality that a combination of literal and symbolic meanings can explain. Using the tafsir of Maqashidi di, this story affirms the divine purpose in terms of soul protection, spiritual strengthening, and civility in preaching, so that it remains relevant to face the challenges of modern-day rationality.

Abstract

The development of modern reproductive technologies such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), genetic engineering, and contraception presents ethical challenges that demand a normative response from the interpretation of the Qur’an. This research aims to analyze the verses of human creation through thematic interpretation and examine their relevance to modern reproductive issues within the framework of Islamic bioethics. The research uses a literature study approach with qualitative methods, sourced from classical and contemporary tafsir books, especially Tafsir Al-Misbah and Tafsir Al-Azhar, and supported by scientific literature in the fields of embryology and reproductive medicine. The results of the study show that QS. Al-Mu’minun verses 12-14 describe the successive stages of human creation that are in harmony with modern embryology. The map of the verses of human creation in the Qur’an includes the phases of nutfah, ‘alaqah, mudhghah, and the formation of bones and flesh scattered in various surahs. These findings confirm that IVF is acceptable as long as it does not violate the principle of nasab, genetic engineering is permissible for benefit-oriented therapeutic purposes, and contraception is seen as responsible reproductive planning. This study also found a paradigm shift in interpretation from textual-descriptive to contextual-reflective as the foundation of modern reproductive ethics.

Abstract

The diversity of qirā’āt (variant readings) in the Qur’an is not merely a linguistic phenomenon but a profound source of theological and semantic depth in Islamic exegesis. This study focuses on the differences in qirā’āt between the singular form rīh (wind) and the plural form riyāh (winds) and their impact on the interpretation of wind-related verses in Tafsīr al-Qurṭubī. Using a qualitative, library-based approach, this research compiles Qur’anic verses concerning wind, identifies the contextual meaning of each term within its verse, explains the qirā’āt variations in the respective verses, and analyzes four key verses that demonstrate significant reading variants: al-Hijr: 22, al-Kahf: 45, Yūnus: 22, and Āli ‘Imrān: 117. The findings indicate that the singular form rīh is predominantly associated with contexts of punishment and destructive force, whereas the plural form riyāh generally appears in contexts of mercy and blessing. In his exegesis, al-Qurṭubī presents the diverse qirā’āt transmitted from various imams and elaborates on their semantic and thematic influence on the meaning of the verses. This study affirms that the differences in qirā’āt not only broaden interpretative possibilities but juga deepen the theological understanding of Qur’anic values. Moreover, this research fills a gap in existing scholarship by specifically addressing this theme within the framework of Tafsīr al-Qurṭubī.
