Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is to explain the theological attitude of the Indonesian Syiah community, especially the Indonesian Ahlul Bait Jamaah Association (IJABI) and the Indonesian Ahlul Bait (ABI), towards the doctrine of tahrif al-Qur'an and analyze how their interpretation affects the public perception of Syiah in Indonesia. Theoretical framework:  This study uses a theological-sociological framework by combining doctrinal analysis and sociological perspectives of religion. This approach is used to understand the relationship between beliefs, identity, and community dynamics in the context of Indonesian Syiah. Literature review:  This study examines the historical debate on tahrif in the Syiah scholarly tradition, ranging from the classical view that indicates textual changes to contemporary perspectives that expressly reject the idea. In addition, this study also reviews various studies on Syiah in Indonesia that have so far focused on issues of identity politics, sectarian conflicts, and minority rights. Thus, this study is here to fill the study gap related to the sensitive issue of tahrif al-Qur'an in the context of Indonesia. Results:  The results of the study show that both IJABI and ABI reject the doctrine of tahrif al-Qur'an and affirm the authenticity of the current Qur'anic text, so that they are within the Sunni consensus line. Nevertheless, differences arise in the way they articulate and communicate those views. IJABI emphasizes a dialogical and moderatory approach to reduce public suspicion, while ABI emphasizes a more formal theological defense based on Syiah Imamiyah orthodoxy. Implications:  This study shows that the Syiah community in Indonesia consciously positions itself within the framework of Islamic unity to dismiss accusations of heterodoxy. This attitude contributes to reducing sectarian tensions and strengthening inter-religious harmony in Indonesia. Novelty:  The novelty of this research lies in a comparative analysis that focuses on the doctrinal discourse of tahrif al-Qur'an in the two main Syiah organizations in Indonesia. This study shows how minority groups seek to negotiate theological legitimacy in the context of Indonesia's majority Sunni society.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to compare textual (nashiyah) and contextual (siyaqiyah) approaches in Islamic education, both in terms of basic principles, methods of application, and their implications on the development of students' values and character. Theoretical framework: This study is based on the theoretical framework of Islamic interpretation, which distinguishes between text-based approaches (literal texts) and context-based approaches. Leading figures such as Azyumardi Azra, Fazlur Rahman (with the theory of double movement), and Amina Wadud provide an important foundation in understanding both approaches in the context of education and social religion. Literature review: Previous studies have shown that the textual approach emphasizes the literal and normative meanings of the Qur'an and Hadith, as affirmed by classical scholars such as Ibn Taymiyyah and Al-Ghazali. Meanwhile, the contextual approach considers the social, cultural, and historical background of the revelation of the text, as developed by Fazlur Rahman and Amina Wadud. Methods: This study uses a qualitative approach with an analytical descriptive method. Data were collected through a literature study that involved the analysis of various scientific literature, books, and articles relevant to the theme of textual and contextual approaches in Islamic education. The analysis is carried out systematically to identify the advantages, disadvantages, similarities, and differences between the two approaches. Results: The results of the study show that the textual approach is effective in maintaining the purity of Islamic teachings and providing legal certainty, but it is less adaptive to social changes. In contrast, contextual approaches are more flexible in dealing with the dynamics of the times and relevant to contemporary issues, but are prone to interpretations that deviate from the literal meaning. Both approaches have their respective relevance and effectiveness, and complement each other in Islamic educational practices. Implications: This study encourages proportional integration between textual and contextual approaches in Islamic education to remain normative and responsive to social dynamics. Novelty: This study makes a new contribution by discussing the theoretical and practical comparison of the two approaches in Islamic education and emphasizing the importance of integrating the two as adaptive models in the contemporary era.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how the human brain functions in cognitive processes such as thinking, reasoning, and decision-making. Theoretical framework: The research is grounded in a theoretical framework that integrates neuroscience and cognitive psychology, focusing on brain structure, neural networks, and the dynamics of neuroplasticity. Literature review: The literature review explores the interconnectivity between various parts of the brain, such as the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, hippocampus, and amygdala, and their roles in memory, emotion, perception, and high-order cognitive tasks. Methods: Employing a qualitative method through library research, this study synthesizes data from academic books, journal articles, dissertations, and digital resources. A descriptive-analytical approach was used to organize and interpret findings across themes, including memory processing, brain development, thinking stages, and influencing factors such as emotion, nutrition, and environmental conditions. Results: The findings reveal that brain function and cognitive thinking are deeply interconnected. The brain processes information through electrical and chemical signals, stores it in short- or long-term memory, and enables the execution of thought processes through structured phases: perception, attention, understanding, reasoning, decision-making, and evaluation. Neuroplasticity plays a critical role in allowing the brain to adapt and learn continuously throughout life. Implications: The study implies that optimizing brain health directly enhances thinking capabilities, which is essential for personal growth, learning, adaptability, and innovation. Practical implications span across education, healthcare, and mental performance strategies. This research contributes to bridging the scientific gap between biological brain function and human thought processes, offering valuable insights for designing brain-friendly environments, promoting lifelong learning, and fostering mental well-being in the digital age. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its multidisciplinary integration of neuroanatomy, behavioral science, and cognitive analysis, presented in a holistic and applicable manner.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyse the contemporary management model of zakat, infaq, sedekah, and waqf (ZISWAF) in the Al-Barokah Islamic boarding school in Simalungun, North Sumatra, from the perspective of muamalah jurisprudence. Theoretical framework: This study is based on the muamalah jurisprudence framework, especially the concept of ownership (al-milkiyyah), trust, benefit (maslahah), and justice ('adl) in the management of social funds. These principles are linked to modern institutional management theory that emphasises accountability, transparency, and efficiency. The integration of classical Islamic legal norms with contemporary management practices is the basis for assessing the effectiveness of the ZISWAF management model in the Islamic boarding school environment. Literature review: The literature review includes Islamic Muamalah Fiqh from an Economic perspective in Islam, Contemporary ZISWAF Management, and Islamic Boarding Schools in the Reality of Sharia Economic Implementation. Methods: This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were obtained through interviews with the management of the Al-Barokah Islamic boarding school, documentation of the institution's financial reports, and observations of ZISWAF management practices. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion, using muamalah jurisprudence as an interpretative framework. Results: The study indicates that the ZISWAF management model at the Al-Barokah Islamic boarding school applies a hybrid system that combines fundraising based on traditional religious values ​​with modern institutional management practices. The integration of digital recording systems, participatory decision-making, and empowerment-based fund distribution reflects the application of muamalah fiqh principles in the contemporary context. This model has succeeded in increasing financial transparency, educational independence, and the social welfare of the community around the Islamic boarding school. Implications: These findings indicate that Islamic boarding schools have the potential to become strategic centres of Islamic social finance by institutionalising accountable ZISWAF management in accordance with sharia principles. Novelty: This study introduces the Integrated ZISWAF Management Model (IZMM), which combines the principles of muamalah fiqh with modern management for the sustainable management of Islamic boarding school social funds.

Abstract

Objective: Indonesian education faces a paradox with the adoption of Western educational models like child-centered learning and positive psychology, aimed at enhancing student well-being. However, data reveal declining PISA scores and increasing classroom management issues. This study analyzes the cultural-psychological dissonance caused by the misalignment of these models with Indonesia’s collectivist, hierarchical culture. Theoretical framework: The study integrates Self-Determination Theory (SDT), Baumrind's authoritative discipline model, Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory, and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions to understand why Western models fail in the Indonesian context, particularly in terms of discipline, motivation, and teacher authority. Literature review: Previous research shows a drop in PISA scores and difficulties in teacher-student interactions due to soft discipline policies. These findings highlight the failure to align Western educational reforms with Indonesian cultural values, leading to confusion, disengagement, and a weakening of teacher authority. Methods: This study uses systematic library research, analyzing empirical studies from 2015 to 2025, employing qualitative content analysis to uncover the underlying psychological and cultural causes of the educational crisis. Results: The shift to permissive education policies has weakened discipline and teacher authority, eroding student motivation. The failure to account for cultural context has exacerbated these issues, with students losing respect for authority figures. Implications: The study advocates for an Authoritative-Restorative model that combines structure with empathy, aligned with Indonesian values, to restore discipline, motivation, and respect in classrooms. Novelty: This paper proposes the Authoritative-Restorative model as a culturally relevant solution to Indonesia’s educational challenges.
