Abstract

This paper reinterprets the Pre-prophetic stage of the Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ life as a manifestation of Taqdīr Ilāhī (Divine Orchestration) and Manhaj al-Rūḥānī (Spiritual Paradigm). It states that these formative years were neither accidental but constituted divinely arranged stages of spiritual purification, ethical cultivation, and inner discipline—designed by Allah to mould him into the supreme moral exemplar and Insān al-Kāmil (Perfect Human). By re-examining pivotal Themes—such as the divine selection of Arabia, his orphanhood, his rearing in the desert, his experience as a shepherd, and his practice of Tahannuth (spiritual retreats) in the Cave of Ḥirāʾ—the study demonstrates how these experiences nurtured key prophetic virtues, including empathy, patience, moral sensitivity, resilience, self-mastery, and contemplative depth which later helped him to Propagate his mission effectively. Drawing upon classical Sirah sources alongside contemporary Fiqh al-Sīrah scholarship, the paper situates the Prophet’s early life within a wider theological and spiritual interpretive framework. Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative approach grounded in descriptive, hermeneutical, and discursive analysis. Eventually, it proposes and higlighlights that the early phase of Prophets life embodies a divinely ordained curriculum of prophetic refinement and, by extension, offers a timeless model for individuals seeking spiritual renewal and moral elevation today. Reflecting on the Prophet’s inner journey prior to revelation can thus guide contemporary communities toward spiritual strength, ethical clarity, and deeper connectedness with the Divine.

Abstract

In the contemporary context, the purity of the Islamic creed faces various intellectual and ideological challenges, such as secularism, liberalism, and other deviant currents, alongside the influence of digital media that normalizes values contrary to Islamic teachings. This situation necessitates a clear and authoritative framework to safeguard the integrity of the Muslim creed. Accordingly, this study aims to analyze the core principles of the Qur’anic methodology in preserving the creed, particularly through the affirmation of tawḥīd, the rejection of shirk, and the rectification of doctrinal deviations. The study employs a library research method with a qualitative, text-based analytical approach, involving content analysis of Qur’anic verses and the interpretations of authoritative scholars in the fields of creed and Islamic thought. The findings indicate that the Qur’an presents a comprehensive and integrated methodology for preserving the creed, encompassing the construction of faith grounded in tawḥīd, the purification of belief from elements of shirk and superstition, and the exposure of various forms of misguidance and intellectual deviation. This methodology functions not only as a defensive safeguard for the creed but also as an effective and relevant framework for faith education in addressing contemporary challenges faced by the Muslim community.

Abstract

This article examines whether gender equality in the Qur’an is a product of modern reinterpretation or a feature embedded within the communicative architecture of revelation itself. Focusing on Q 33:35, Q 9:71, Q 4:124, and Q 3:195, the study employs an integrative qualitative approach combining critical discourse analysis, rhetorical examination, and ethical-hermeneutical reflection. The findings demonstrate that discursive equality is textually encoded through structured gender parallelism, reciprocal moral guardianship, and eschatological symmetry. Q 33:35 performs equality through explicit masculine–feminine pairing; Q 9:71 constructs men and women as mutual allies in ethical governance; and Q 4:124 and Q 3:195 affirm universal divine recompense irrespective of gender. Together, these verses establish a dialogic model in which men and women are co-addressed moral subjects and co-bearers of agency. While historical interpretations have often privileged hierarchical readings, the Qur’an’s linguistic and ethical design sustains a recoverable framework of shared accountability and justice. The study argues that discursive equality is not a concession to modernity but a normative principle rooted in revelation’s communicative logic. By aligning interpretive practice with this architecture, the Qur’an emerges as a dynamic ethical text capable of sustaining gender-inclusive moral authority across contexts.

Abstract

Society has become a central theme that has gained attention in recent centuries. The West brought a positivistic paradigm to research society to science, by building methodologies so as to form its own paradigm in researching society. Because of that lack of value, some Muslim scholars feel the need to revisit some key concepts in social science that may be contrary to Islamic values. This short paper at least attempts to elaborate on what and how the concept of society as a term is often discussed in social science disciplines. Then look further as far as what the problems contained in the concept, and look for the equivalent of the concept in the Islamic religious tradition that is the ummah that is in accordance with the correct view of life. This paper attempts to justify by islamization so that science is always appropriate and based on the Islamic perspective, including in the description of the concept of the Last society in terms of change. The ummah will always change. The existence of the badawa theory and hadarah from Ibn Khaldun shows that. But the point of emphasis is, the concept of the ummah does not change completely, but changes in determination. In addition, the change of the ummah is a change to achieve one goal. Different things with society that really changed completely according to the environment.

Abstract

This study examined the influence of Islamic Civilization History on secondary school students’ understanding of cultural diversity in National Values Classes in Zamfara State, Nigeria. With Nigeria’s diverse ethnic and religious landscape, fostering tolerance and civic responsibility among students remains a key educational objective. Grounded in the Cultural Transmission Theory, the research explored how integrating Islamic historical and ethical teachings into classroom instruction can enhance students’ intercultural awareness and moral development. Employing a descriptive survey design, the study involved 370 Upper Basic III students selected through a multi-stage sampling technique from public and private schools across three Local Government Areas. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and t-tests. Findings revealed that Islamic Civilization History is moderately to highly integrated into National Values Classes, significantly influencing students’ understanding of cultural diversity (???? = 0.421, p < 0.05). Exposure to Islamic historical content positively affected students’ attitudes toward cultural tolerance (t = 3.97, p < 0.05), and a strong correlation was observed between students’ knowledge of Islamic Civilization History and their appreciation of multicultural values (r = 0.486, p < 0.05). The study concludes that embedding Islamic historical narratives within National Values Classes fosters empathy, respect, and social inclusivity among students. Effective teaching strategies, adequate instructional resources, and teacher competence are critical in translating historical knowledge into positive attitudes. The findings underscore the importance of incorporating Islamic Civilization History into value education curricula to nurture culturally sensitive, morally grounded, and socially responsible individuals in Zamfara State and similar multicultural contexts.

Abstract

Child labour remains a significant challenge, both globally and locally, despite the provisions of numerous international and Arab laws. Globally, for example, children under the age of fifteen cannot be employed, and those under eighteen cannot work in hazardous jobs except in cases of dire necessity. It is crucial to gather information and statistics on child labour, its locations, risks, and areas of operation, in order to develop policies and strategies to address these issues. The phenomenon of child labour is a problem that affects all societies, whether developing or more advanced, regardless of their level of progress, development, or prosperity. No society is immune, regardless of its level of development or progress, or its efforts to reduce or eliminate it. In fact, it has numerous negative consequences for children, depriving them of the natural development of childhood, the fulfilment of their essential needs, and the development of their mental, physical, psychological, and aesthetic abilities. These children are excluded from the world of childhood. Recent figures indicate that there are more than 285 million working children worldwide. All societies, regardless of their stage of development, are susceptible to this phenomenon. Despite the importance of international law, it is not always practical or applicable in poor or developing countries. Authorities have warned us of the growing scale of the problem, and we have witnessed new forms of exploitation in all areas of work, even the cheapest. This phenomenon is a danger, and to prevent it, we need to understand its causes and how various factors contribute to it.

Abstract

Modern Organizational Theory has substantially advanced organizational effectiveness by emphasizing rationality, structural design, efficiency, and productivity. However, its dominant paradigms largely conceptualize individuals as economic resources or strategic assets, providing limited integration of the moral, spiritual, and civilizational dimensions essential to sustainable organizational development. This study seeks to reconstruct Organizational Theory and Organizational Practice through the lens of Islamic Management Philosophy by developing the Mujahid, Mujtahid, and Mujaddid Human Paradigm as an alternative conceptual framework for human development within organizations. Employing a qualitative design based on a critical philosophical literature review, the study synthesizes classical and contemporary scholarship on organizational theory, management philosophy, Islamic management, and Islamic philosophy. The analysis is guided by ontological, epistemological, and axiological perspectives to formulate an integrative conceptual framework. The findings indicate that the proposed paradigm reconceptualizes organizational members as morally committed (Mujahid), intellectually dynamic (Mujtahid), and transformationally oriented (Mujaddid) individuals who collectively foster ethical governance, organizational adaptability, and sustainable institutional transformation. The study's primary contribution is the development of the Mujahid, Mujtahid, and Mujaddid Human Paradigm as an Islamic philosophical foundation that reconstructs Organizational Theory and Organizational Practice by integrating ethical values, intellectual excellence, and transformative leadership into a coherent theoretical framework for contemporary organizations.

Abstract

Pesantren Ramadan at Al Hasan Raya Mosque represents a potential non-formal Islamic education space for constructing an experiential leadership learning model for adolescents amidst the challenges of the disruptive era. This research seeks to analyze how the involvement of mosque youth as the Pesantren Ramadan committee contributes to the transformation of spiritual, social, and organizational leadership. Epistemologically, this study is grounded in the constructivism paradigm, employing a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method, which positions the subjective experiences and meanings of adolescents as the primary source of knowledge. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and activity documentation. The research findings indicate that Pesantren Ramadan serves not only as an arena for strengthening religious values but also as a vehicle for transformative leadership learning through direct practice in planning, coordination, and activity implementation. Activities such as tadarrus Al-Qur’an (Qur'anic recitation), thematic lectures, discussions, and committee collaboration facilitate processes of self-reflection, effective communication, and collective decision-making. This finding enriches the discourse on Islamic leadership theory by asserting that the character formation of young leaders occurs not only through formal instruction but also through social experiential processes that cultivate responsibility, empathy, and active spirituality. The implication of this research indicates the importance of repositioning Pesantren Ramadan as a leadership laboratory for mosque youth to address the challenges of developing the Islamic generation in the disruptive era.
Between Saying and Showing: The Limits of Language and the Problem of Expression in Wittgenstein and Sufi Shathahāt Nani Widiawati

Abstract

This paper examines the problem of the limits of language through a comparative analysis of Ludwig Wittgenstein and the Sufi tradition of shathahāt (ecstatic utterances). In the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, Wittgenstein famously distinguishes between what can be said and what can only be shown, thereby establishing a boundary beyond which language fails to express meaning. This study argues that Sufi shathahāt, as found in figures such as Al-Hallaj and Bayazid Bastami, do not simply violate this boundary but instead transform it. Rather than demonstrating the impossibility of expressing the ineffable, shathahāt employ symbolic, paradoxical, and analogical language to articulate meanings that cannot be fully captured by propositional discourse. By bringing these two traditions into dialogue, the paper proposes a rethinking of the “unsayable”: not as that which lies entirely beyond language, but as that which can be expressed without being exhausted. This approach challenges the rigid dichotomy between saying and showing, suggesting instead a spectrum of expression in which language operates at its limits. The study contributes to contemporary discussions in Filsafat Bahasa and Filsafat Agama by offering a cross-cultural perspective on the relationship between language, meaning, and transcendence.
