Abstract

This article explores the influence of the digital era on spiritual practices within the context of Tarekat Sufism. Using a qualitative approach incorporating in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and content analysis of digital Sufism platforms, this study examines the changes in rituals, the evolving role of spiritual teachers, and the integration of digital technology in spiritual life. Tarekat, shaped by the experiential knowledge of Sufi masters, intersects with digital advancements enabling seamless access to a vast array of resources in cyberspace. The findings reveal that digital technology has significantly impacted spiritual practices within Tarekat Sufism. These include easier access to spiritual guidance through online platforms, the proliferation of Sufism applications and digital content, and the formation of online communities fostering spiritual connection. However, the challenges such as the risk of spiritual commodification, the reduced personal interaction with spiritual teachers, and the maintainance of authenticity in digital spiritual practices are also observed. This research contributes to the academic discourse by highlighting the intersection of spirituality and technology, offering a nuanced understanding of how digital tools reshape traditional Sufi practices. Methodologically, it underscores the utility of combining qualitative methods with digital ethnography to study the evolving spiritual phenomena. These insights provide a foundation for further exploration of the balance between tradition and innovation in the context of digital spirituality.

Abstract

This article explores the unique phenomenon of cultural reproduction in Chinese Muslim communities through Chinese New Year celebrations. Traditionally a Chinese cultural festival is rich in heritage and ritual; these celebrations have been adapted with Islamic values, resulting in cultural acculturation and adaptation. Using a qualitative research approach grounded in anthropological-historical methods, the study involves in-depth interviews with key community members and participatory observations during celebrations. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of how the fusion of Islamic principles and Chinese traditions creates a unique and dynamic narrative. The findings reveal that Chinese New Year celebrations in Chinese Muslim communities serve as a platform for maintaining cultural roots while fostering religious diversity. Ritual practices, such as communal prayers and the incorporation of halal principles into traditional Chinese feasts, highlight this blending of cultures. The celebrations also help redefine Muslim Chinese identity in a pluralistic society, positioning the event as a medium for countering cultural alienation and reinforcing a sense of belonging. This research contributes to the academic discourse on cultural reproduction by demonstrating how traditions can evolve to harmonize religious and cultural values. It also offers a methodological contribution by showcasing the effectiveness of combining anthropological-historical analysis with qualitative fieldwork in studying cultural adaptations. The insights gained from this study hold relevance for understanding the sustainability of Chinese Muslim culture and provide broader implications for fostering intercultural harmony in increasingly diverse societies.

Abstract

 Initially, Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah was predominantly received by scholars with a focus on textual analysis.However, its reception has expanded, incorporating various practices within communities, including its useas a remedy believed to cure ailments. This study aims to examine the belief in the efficacy of Sūrah AlFātiḥah as a healing remedy among the Malay communities of Pontianak and Singkawang. A qualitativeresearch methodology was employed, analyzed through Ahmad Rafiq’s theory of functional reception. Datawere gathered through observations, interviews, and related literature. The findings reveal that the Malaycommunities of Pontianak and Singkawang believe in Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah’s healing properties based on aHadith stating: “The Opening of the Book serves as a remedy for various ailments.” Performatively, inPontianak, Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah is recited in one breath over a glass of water, which is then consumed by theill. In Singkawang, there are two ways: first, reciting Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah while directing the thumb to theroof of the mouth and applying it to the affected area; second, reciting the surah over water, which is thenconsumed and applied to the afflicted area. The transmission of this knowledge in Pontianak is linked toKitab Mujarabat (literally: Book of Remedies) by Daeng Matse, while in Singkawang, it derives fromKitab Harian (literally: Book of Daily Guidance) by Datok Ngah Dolah. This study contributes to theunderstanding of Living Qur’an and Hadith, revealing a model of acculturative religious education. Thetheoretical, practical, and methodological contributions of this research offer recommendations for futurestudies, such as developing new methods or expanding research datasets

Abstract

This study examines the Living Qur’an phenomenon and its role in shaping religious piety among elderly congregants in two religious groups in Kediri, East Java, Indonesia: Majelis Dzikrul Ghofilin and Sema’an Al-Qur’an Jantiko Matab. The Living Qur’an concept, as manifested in elderly congregations, represents the embodied and contextual practice of Qur’anic teachings in daily life, fundamentally contributing to individual and collective piety. Through fieldwork utilizing a qualitative methodology informed by Talal Asad’s concept of “discursive tradition,” this research employs participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentary analysis. The anthropological analysis focuses on identifying patterns in Living Qur’an practices among elderly congregants, with particular attention to symbolic reception and sensory engagement in religious practices. The research reveals distinctive manifestations of the Living Qur’an in each group. Majelis Dzikrul Ghofilin centers its practice on dhikr (divine remembrance), supplications, and contemplative engagement with Qur’anic verses, fostering spiritual connectivity and emotional resilience. In contrast, Sema’an Al-Qur’an Jantiko Matab emphasizes sustained communal Qur’anic recitation from dawn to nightfall, cultivating devotional practice through extended engagement with sacred text. These complementary approaches demonstrate the versatility of Living Qur’an implementations in enhancing elderly congregants’ spiritual well-being. This study contributes to the scholarly discourse on the Living Qur’an among elderly populations, presenting novel insights into Qur’anic reception and pietistic practices. Furthermore, it establishes a theoretical foundation for understanding religion’s role in shaping elderly worldviews while advancing methodological approaches to studying Qur’anic reception in Muslim communities.

Abstract

As ecological crises intensify globally, environmental themes have become prominent in contemporary Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir). However, ecological interpretation had its own distinct dynamics during the medieval period, even though environmental degradation was not as severe as in recent decades. The interpretation of nature protection in Qur'an Surah Al-A'raf [7]: 56 reveals diverse understanding among medieval scholars, challenging the notion that pre-modern interpretations were purely fragmentary or ideological. This study addresses two research questions: a) How was Q.S. Al-A'raf [7]: 56 interpreted ecologically in the medieval period? b) What hierarchical environmental ethics emerge from these medieval interpretations? Using qualitative methodology through literature review, this research focuses on the phrase "la tufsidu fi al-ardi" ("do not cause corruption on the earth"). The study analyzes interpretations from the ninth to fourteenth centuries as primary sources, employing Richard Sylvan and David Bennet's environmental ethics framework. The findings reveal three distinct interpretative approaches to the prohibition of earthly corruption: anthropocentric, ecocentric, and theocentric. The prevalence of theocentric interpretations demonstrates that theological argumentation remained central even when addressing material ecological issues. Environmental degradation was understood not merely as physical exploitation but as spiritual corruption resulting from human disregard for divine ordinances. This research contributes to understanding the continuity between pre-modern and modern ecological interpretations, suggesting the value of interdisciplinary approaches linking Islamic exegesis with contemporary environmental policy.

Abstract

This article examines Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas’ interpretation and application of Quranic verses as foundational principles for his conception of the Islamization of knowledge, primarily drawing from his work Islam: The Concept of Religion and the Foundation of Ethics and Morality. The study investigates how al-Attas’ theological reception of Quranic verses contributes to the development of kalam jadid (new kalam) within the context of knowledge Islamization. The research employs al-Attas’ interpretation of theological verses as its material object, while utilizing the framework of new kalam as its formal object. Through the Living Qur’an methodology, the study analyzes the significance of al-Attas’ engagement with theological verses throughout his scholarly corpus. This qualitative investigation combines observational and library research methods to present a systematic descriptive-analytical discussion. The findings are as follows: First, al-Attas employs at least 14 Quranic verses with theological reception as the basis for formulating new kalam, emphasizing three agendas—change, development, and progress—all rooted in divine principles, which frame the discourse of the Islamization of knowledge. Second, in terms of practical reception, al-Attas’ interpretations can be observed in the initiatives of one of his ideological successors in Indonesia, Hamid Fahmi Zarkasyi. These include institutionalizing his thought through the establishment of University of Darussalam (UNIDA), the Center for Islamic and Occidental Studies (CIOS), and Program Kaderisasi Ulama (PKU) or cleric cadre program. In the perspective of the Living Qur’an, these initiatives represent efforts to enliven the Quran beyond its textual tradition, extending into a civilizational thought of new kalam institutionalized for broader impact. This progression begins from Quranic abstraction and reception, leading to the formulation of new kalam, and further towards enlivening both the Quran and faith (iman) simultaneously. This study makes a significant contribution by integrating Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas’ theological thought with the concept of new kalam, relevant to the Islamization of knowledge. It expands the understanding of how Quranic theological texts can serve as a conceptual basis for advancing progressive Islamic intellectual discourse.

Abstract

This article examines two books of tafsir entitled Ahkam al-Qur'an by Ibn al-'Arabi and Al-Jami' li Ahkam al-Qur'an by al-Qurtubi as a comparison study. Both were written by Andalusian scholars (mufassir). The main issue that is answered is how the method used by Ibn al-'Arabi and al-Qurtubi in interpreting legal verses. What are the similarities and differences in their interpretations in the context of Islam in Andalusia at that time? There are two factors for this research. First, these tafsir fully interpret the legal verses (30 Juz) and adhere to Maliki’s jurisprudence. Second, both of these tafsir were written at different times and places. Therefore, the author attempts to find common ground for similarities and differences between the interpretations of Ibn al-‘Arabi and al-Qurtubi through a historical approach. Furthermore, the author uses Norman Fairclough’s theory of Critical Discourse Analysis in this research. This article has several conclusions and arguments. First, Ibn al-'Arabi and al-Qurtubi use the tahlili (analytical) method, interpreting verses in detail into several points of issue and loaded with the aqwal al-ma'tsur. Regarding verse selection, Ibn al-'Arabi only focuses on interpreting certain legal verses in each surah. Al-Qurtubi interpreted all verses in the Qur'an. Second, based on the analysis of his biographical history and educational career, Ibn al-'Arabi's interpretation tends to be conservative due to the fanaticism of the mazhab and the intervention of the Murabitun dynasty. Al-Qurtubi's interpretation tends to be neutral and more ethical due to the many rebellions and rejection of the Maliki school and the emergence of Sufism under the rule of the Muwahidun dynasty until its collapse.
