Abstract

Objective: This research aims to explore the core meaning, semantic relationships, and conceptual scope of al-Thahur (purity) in the Qur’an, encompassing both physical and spiritual dimensions. Theoretical framework: This study adopts the semantic approach of Toshihiko Izutsu to analyze the concept of al-Thahur in the Qur'an, focusing on the relationships between words and their meanings in the sacred text. Literature review: Previous studies have explored the concept of purity in Islam, often focusing on physical purity through ritual acts such as ablution and purification from impurity. However, fewer studies have investigated the spiritual dimensions of al-Thahur, which includes purification from sin, disbelief, and immoral traits. This research aims to fill this gap by examining both the physical and spiritual aspects of purity as presented in the Qur'an. Methods: A semantic analysis approach is employed, involving the collection of verses that mention the term al-Thahur. The analysis covers the context of these verses, syntagmatic and paradigmatic relationships, and interpretation based on classical and contemporary tafsir literature, as well as linguistic references. Results: The study finds that al-Thahur in the Qur’an extends beyond physical purity, such as cleansing from hadas and najis, to include spiritual purity, such as the purification of the soul from sin, polytheism, and immoral behavior. The concept is used in various contexts, including self-purification through worship, cleansing the heart from doubts, and the purification of faith. Implications: This research highlights the holistic nature of purity in Islam, linking physical cleanliness with moral and spiritual integrity. The findings underscore the importance of al-Thahur as a foundational concept in Islamic teachings, guiding not only ritualistic practices but also personal morality and spirituality. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive analysis of al-Thahur from both physical and spiritual perspectives, using a semantic approach to uncover deeper insights into the Qur'anic concept of purity. This research bridges the gap between physical cleanliness and spiritual integrity in the understanding of purity within Islamic teachings.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the hydrodynamic resistance characteristics of submarine hull designs suitable for Indonesia’s complex maritime environment, which includes shallow waters, strong currents, and deep-sea conditions. Minimizing resistance is essential to enhance operational efficiency, energy consumption, and maneuverability of submarines operating in such diverse waters. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this research is grounded in naval hydrodynamics and resistance theory, particularly focusing on viscous and pressure resistance components acting on submerged bodies. The study also adopts the Theory of Change approach in naval design, emphasizing that optimized hull geometry leads to improved performance and operational effectiveness. Literature review: The literature review indicates that previous studies on submarine resistance have primarily focused on standard hull forms under idealized conditions, with limited attention to region-specific operational environments such as Indonesian waters. Comparative analyses of hull types such as teardrop, Joubert BB2, and ALFA class have been conducted, but systematic numerical evaluations under consistent submerged conditions remain limited. Methods: This research employs a quantitative numerical approach using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Simulations were conducted on three submarine hull types: teardrop hull, Joubert BB2, and ALFA class under submerged operating conditions at a constant speed of 10 knots. The CFD model analyzes total hydrodynamic resistance by resolving fluid flow behavior around each hull geometry, allowing for a detailed comparison of resistance performance. Results: The results reveal that the teardrop hull exhibits the lowest total resistance compared to the Joubert BB2 and ALFA class designs at the specified operational speed and submerged condition. This finding indicates superior hydrodynamic efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and enhanced maneuverability, making the teardrop hull particularly suitable for submarine operations in Indonesian waters. Implications: The implications of this study are both practical and strategic. Practically, the findings guide the selection of submarine hull designs that optimize operational efficiency and stability. Strategically, the results support future submarine development tailored to Indonesia’s maritime characteristics. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in its comparative numerical analysis of multiple submarine hull types under a uniform submerged condition, specifically contextualized to Indonesian waters, offering design insights that bridge numerical simulation and operational needs. Future studies are recommended to validate these findings through experimental towing tank tests.

Abstract

Objective: This article aims to analyze the dynamics of the translation of the terms awliya, jihad, and kafir in the 2002 and 2019 editions of the Ministry of Religion's Al-Quran Translation. This study highlights the changing meaning and strategy of translation in response to Indonesia's social and political context. The main focus is directed at the theological and social implications of the choice of translation diction. Theoretical framework: This study uses Quranic semantics, contextual interpretation, and Qur'anic translation theory as an analytical framework. Quranic semantics maps the field of meaning of terms, contextual interpretation emphasizes historical and contemporary contexts, while translation theory assesses the strategy of translation of meaning. All three are used integratively to read the relationship between text and context. Literature review: Previous studies of the translation of the Qur'an in Indonesia have generally dealt with linguistic or historical aspects separately. Comparative studies across editions of official translations with a focus on sensitive terms are still limited. This article fills this gap by systematically linking linguistic analysis, interpretation, and social dynamics. Methods: This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature studies. The data was analyzed through searching for verses containing the terms awliya, jihad, and kafir in the 2002 and 2019 editions of the translation. The analysis was carried out using semantic approaches, contextual interpretation, and translation theory. Results: There is a shift in translation from a literal approach to a contextual and moderate approach. The term awliya is interpreted more relationally, jihad is contextually explained to prevent violence, and kafir is recontextualized to "disobedient" or "kufr". These changes reflect the response to Indonesia's social sensitivities. Implications: Theoretically, these findings confirm the translation of the Qur'an as a dynamic and contextual practice of interpretation. In practical terms, this study supports the development of more accurate and moderate translations. Another implication is the strengthening of religious moderation and harmonization between religious communities. Novelty: The novelty of this article lies in a comparative analysis across the official translation editions of the Ministry of Religion. The focus on three sensitive Quranic terms, combined with Indonesia's socio-political context. Integrative approaches to semantics, interpretation, and translation are the main methodological contributions.

Abstract

Objective: This article aims to analyze the concept of multicultural equality and justice in education, particularly from the perspective of Islamic education, as well as explain its implications for the formation of character education in a multicultural society. Theoretical framework: This research is based on the theory of multicultural education (Banks and Nieto), the theory of social and distributive justice, and the value of Islamic education that emphasizes al-'adl (justice) and al-musāwah (equality). Literature review: The literature review examines studies on multicultural education, social justice, and Islamic education, and shows that there is still limited research that integrates multicultural equality and justice within the framework of Islamic education. Methods: The research uses a qualitative approach through a literature study of books, journal articles, and education policy documents, with content analysis and conceptual synthesis. Results: The results of the study show that equality in Islamic education is interpreted as recognition of equal human dignity, while justice is understood as the provision of rights and opportunities for learning proportionally. The integration of these two principles in multicultural education contributes significantly to the formation of the character of students who are tolerant, fair, and responsible. Implications: Theoretically, this study enriches the study of Islamic-based multicultural education; practically, it becomes the basis for the development of an equity- and justice-oriented curriculum, learning, and school culture. Novelty: The novelty of the research lies in the systematic integration of the concept of multicultural equality and justice with character education from the perspective of Islamic education.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to critically examine how the representation of sexual violence against women is constructed in the film Woman from the Rote Island through the analysis of denotative, connotative, and mythological meanings. The main focus is to reveal the social messages, ideologies, and positions of women in patriarchal power relations represented by cinema. Thus, the research is directed to assess the role of film as a medium of social criticism and shaping public awareness. Theoretical framework: This study uses Roland Barthes' semiotic theory, which emphasizes the meaning of denotation, connotation, and myth. This framework is used to read signs and symbols in movies. With this approach, patriarchal ideology can be critically analyzed. Literature review: A literature review discusses research on women's representation and sexual violence in film media. Previous studies have shown that movies can reinforce or challenge patriarchal values. This literature became the basis for placing film as part of social discourse. Methods:  The method used is qualitative descriptive with semiotic analysis. Data is obtained from scenes, dialogue, and visual symbols in the film. The analysis was carried out by relating the findings to three levels of Barthes' meaning. Results: The results of the study show that films represent women as victims of physical, psychological, and social violence, as well as subjects who have courage and moral strength. On a connotative and mythological level, the film deconstructs the myth of women's honor shaped by patriarchy. The film's narrative emphasizes that sexual violence is a violation of humanity, not a disgrace to the victim. Implications: This study shows that film can be a medium of education and social criticism. These findings encourage the use of cinema to increase empathy and awareness about women's rights. Another implication is the strengthening of the discourse on gender equality in the public space. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in the use of Barthes' semiotics to read the issue of sexual violence in Indonesian films. The study emphasizes women not only as victims, but also as agents of symbolic resistance. Thus, film is understood as a tool for cultural change.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the meaning and implications of multicultural education in Indonesia and to formulate context-based development strategies that are compatible with the nation’s unique socio-cultural, religious, and ideological characteristics. Indonesia’s extreme diversity, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, and religious, makes multicultural education not merely an option but a structural necessity for sustaining social cohesion and national integrity. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this research integrates modern multicultural education theory, particularly James A. Banks’ five dimensions of multicultural education, with Islamic normative values such as ta‘āruf (mutual recognition), tasāmuḥ (tolerance), ‘adl (justice), and ukhuwah insāniyyah (human fraternity). This integrative framework positions Islam as a source of inclusive social ethics rather than an exclusive identity. Literature review: The literature review reveals that existing studies largely treat multicultural education either from a secular pedagogical perspective or from a normative religious approach, often without sufficient contextual adaptation to Indonesia’s plural yet Muslim-majority setting. This study addresses that gap by synthesizing multicultural theory, Islamic theology, and Indonesian socio-political realities. Methods: The research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical design based on library research, analyzing academic literature, policy documents, national regulations, empirical reports, and Islamic primary sources. Data were examined using interactive analysis involving data reduction, thematic categorization, interpretation, and triangulation of sources and theories. Results: The findings demonstrate that multicultural education in Indonesia must be understood as a transformative educational process rather than mere tolerance instruction. Effective implementation requires integration across curricular, pedagogical, institutional, and digital dimensions. The study proposes context-based development models, including localized curricula, multicultural teacher training, inclusive school cultures, and digital literacy strategies to counter identity-based intolerance. Implications: The implications of this research are both theoretical and practical. Theoretically, it enriches Islamic education scholarship by demonstrating that multiculturalism is deeply rooted in Islamic theology. Practically, it offers policy-relevant recommendations for curriculum design, teacher education, and institutional governance. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its integrative and contextualized model that bridges universal multicultural values, Islamic ethical principles, and Indonesia’s national ideology, positioning multicultural education as a strategic instrument for social justice, national unity, and sustainable peace.
