Abstract

This study aims to explore the concept of zuhud within the perspective of modern Sufism and its application to economic life. The authors’ interest in this research stems from the traditional and widespread understanding of zuhud as the practice of renouncing worldly pleasures to draw closer to God. However, its interpretation has evolved within a more dynamic modern context. Consequently, the authors seek to demonstrate that the teachings of zuhud do not necessarily require abandoning worldly possessions or living in poverty. The study employs a qualitative methodology with a descriptive-analytical approach, including a literature review of Qur’anic verses related to zuhud and interpretations from contemporary Sufi scholars. The findings reveal that zuhud in modern Sufism is no longer regarded as an extreme ascetic practice but as a balanced perspective that integrates spirituality and materiality. In the economic sphere, zuhud is interpreted as a work ethic emphasizing honesty, justice, and the use of wealth for communal benefit. This research makes a significant contribution to understanding the integration of the spiritual values of zuhud within modern economic life. It provides fresh insights for economic practitioners and Sufi enthusiasts in applying spiritual principles to everyday life. Furthermore, the study highlights several modern Sufi figures who advocate for the concept of zuhud without promoting a life of poverty. These figures serve as examples of how zuhud can manifest in economic and entrepreneurial activities.

Abstract

Syarif Shaleh Aidrus al-Idrus was the last king to be killed in a mass murder by Japanese soldiers in 1943. Signs of a tragic death were visible when he wrote a book of testaments entitled Nasihat Zaman. As a wise king and leader of the people, He was aware of the potential for moral and mental degradation, both in the palace and in society, after his sacrifice. He wrote his messages so his family and people would always adhere to the Al-Qur'an and Sunnah in their future lives. These pieces of advice are interesting to study further, significantly in terms of how a king fortifies his family and people with morality and devotion to Allah SWT. Advice like this is scarce to come from the writings of a king still in power; maybe it has never even existed in the world. Generally, a king will pass on his throne to his descendants. The study of the contents of this book aims to look further into the concepts of the Living Qur'an and Sunnah, which serve as the basis for every message given by the author. Then, this study wants to show the form of the living Qur'an and Sunnah the author desires. The research method applied in this research is qualitative, with a philosophical approach to the contents of the Buku Nasihat Zaman manuscript. The study reveals that the manuscript integrates specific Qur'anic verses and prophetic traditions to guide moral conduct, emphasizing themes of family unity, devotion to Allah SWT, and resistance to moral degradation. The results of this study contribute to academic discussions on the concept of the living Qur'an and Sunnah, and their application in a modern context. At a glance, it can be seen that the contents of this book are advice based on the Qur'an and Sunnah so that its form is in line with the spirit of the living Qur'an and Sunnah, which is currently being widely discussed in the academic world, and is trying to be applied in society in the digital era.

Abstract

This study examines racism as explored by progressive Western Islamic scholar Jonathan A.C. Brown in his book Islam and Blackness. Racism is shaped by specific perceptions of race and blackness originating in the West, particularly in the United States, which have significantly influenced global discussions and debates. Distinctions between black and white remain stark in various social spheres. Employing qualitative research based on textual materials gathered through library research, this study utilizes a primary-source dialogue approach. The hadith analysis method applied is domain analysis, aiming to explore and analyze content. According to Brown, racial equality issues stem from varied ethnic preferences across regions, where culture plays a crucial role in shaping perceptions. The most malleable components of racial dynamics are those influenced by cultural conditioning. Within the framework of Islamic tradition, the Prophet Muhammad, as the principal advocate for justice, explicitly called for dismantling severe social boundaries in his community. Consequently, the most effective solution lies in the commitment of individuals, communities, and communal leaders to transcend racial, socioeconomic, and cultural divides. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how Islam, as interpreted by Brown, can provide novel perspectives for combating racism and racial discrimination. It underscores the importance of integrating textual, scientific, and transformative philosophical perspectives. The research also enriches the global discourse on racial equality by connecting social and religious issues while proposing Islamic-based solutions to dismantle prevailing social barriers.

Abstract

 This study investigates Islamic practices in Tokyo, Japan, examining their role as a unifying force thattranscends ethnic, national, and cultural boundaries. Based on field research conducted in 2024, the studyanalyzes the dynamics of Tokyo’s diverse Muslim community, which encompasses practitioners from variedglobal backgrounds. Through systematic interviews and participant observation, the research reveals how thehalal industry functions as a primary mechanism for promoting inclusive and tolerant Islamic teachings. Thegradual expansion of Islam in Tokyo since the 2000s has been characterized by practices that fostercultural inclusion and social cohesion. The concept of halal food emerges as an exemplar of Islamicpluralistic principles, serving as a bridge between different faith communities and cultural traditions. Thisphenomenon aligns with the Qur’anic principle of unity in diversity (QS 49:13), demonstrating thepractical manifestation of Islamic teachings on pluralism within a contemporary urban context. The findingsindicate that the halal trade serves as both a medium for religious expression and a catalyst for culturalharmony in Tokyo. This research contributes to the cultural anthropology literature by illuminatingpreviously underexplored dynamics of cultural adaptation and religious pluralism within Japan’s urbanlandscape.

Abstract

Post-truth terminology has increasingly enlivened public discussion since it was named as the Word of the Year by The Oxford English Dictionaries in 2016. After giving rise to various discussions, debates, and researches, this terminology was then identified as a serious threat to religious, social, dan political structure of global citizen. The case of alleged religious blasphemy by Basuki Tjahaja Purnama in 2017 and the strengthening of patron-based knowledge authority in the 2019 and 2024 Presidential Election are concrete events which indicate that post-truth and its destructive impacts have spread and reached Indonesia. The strengthening of knowledge patrons implies a condition of unfair construction and distribution of knowledge (epistemic injustice) which includes the testimonial and hermeneutical injustice. Both then lead to the marginalization of a group at a theoretical and practical level. Therefore, post truth urges to be understood as a phenomenon that moves in two spaces, epistemological and ethical, at once. The moral configuration, especially in the context of scriptural morality, which is the reference for life needs to be placed as a part of what is determined by the hermeneutical mode in a broader scope. This article then intends to explore the epistemological-ethical content of the Qur’an by proposing a new reading of the Al-Nur (24):11-20 to deal with the post-truth phenomenon. This study is a qualitative research that based on the literature research and using al-ta’wil al-‘ilmi as a theoretical framework in analyzing research data. The main point that this article wants to emphasize is to show the position, significance, and relevance of the Qur’an in the truth decay era. Through a circular hermeneutical movement that critically integrates the epistemologies of bayānī, ‘irfānī, and burhānī, this article then shows the epistemological-ethical offer of the Qur’an in fighting the post-truth epidemic, namely reaffirmation of the existence of reality along with the essence of universal truth in human knowledge; emphasis on the importance of realizing the complexity of reality, prioritizing rationality, and highlight public virtue; and encouragement to create a relaxed attitude in front of smartphones so that technology can become a vehicle for the actualization of human spirituality. The interconnection of the three epistemological categories above will also be justified by referring to the tension of realism and antirealism in the context of meta-ethics. The implication is that this article also clears up the ambiguity regarding the relationality between the interpreter and the interpretandum (text).

Abstract

According to William Graham, a text becomes sacred due to a relational connection between a faith community and the text they regard as holy. This relationship is manifested in various ways, such as accepting, reading, reciting, and treating the text with specific purposes. As a sacred text, the Qur’an is similarly received by faith communities, one of which is through musical expression. Recently, a song titled Bersenja Gurau (literally: Evening Jests) by Indonesian musician Raim Laode achieved widespread digital circulation. The artist claimed that the song contains quotations from the Qur’an, intended to expose listeners to the words of Allah. This study employs qualitative research methods using the Qur’anic reception framework developed by Ahmad Rafiq and Wolfgang Iser’s concept of aesthetic reception. To analyze the song’s impact on netizens, the study incorporates mass communication effect theory, including cognitive, affective, and behavioral effects. The findings reveal that Raim Laode’s activity of quoting the Qur’an in a song constitutes an aesthetic reception of the Qur’an. Moreover, based on netizen responses, Bersenja Gurau induces cognitive, affective, and behavioral effects. This research contributes to the development of the Living Qur’an studies by exploring the aesthetic reception of the Qur’an in popular music, offering a novel approach within academic discourse.

Abstract

Prayer is a fundamental act of worship in Islam. Beyond obligatory prayers, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also encouraged various forms of non-obligatory prayers, one of which is the tradition of Smiyauh Nunggau, or congregational prayer for forty consecutive days before Ramadan, as practiced in Koto Padang Village, Tanah Kampung Subdistrict, Sungai Penuh City, Jambi Province, Indonesia. This tradition is predominantly upheld by women, who gather to perform the five daily prayers in congregation at the mosque or musalla. Conducted annually from the end of Jumadil Akhir to the end of Rajab, this practice has become integral to the community’s religious life. This study examines three key aspects: (1) the transmission of the forty-day prayer tradition in Koto Padang Village, (2) its relevance to the concept of the Living Qur’an, and (3) its functional and spiritual values. Using a qualitative field research methodology grounded in the Living Qur’an framework and participatory observation, data were collected through interviews, observations, and active participation. The findings reveal that Smiyauh Nunggau has been practiced since before the 1990s and aligns with the teachings of the Syattariyah order, rooted in the Prophet’s hadith. Functionally, the tradition fosters social cohesion and reminds the community of the upcoming Ramadan. Spiritually, it instills consistency (istiqamah) and strengthens faith. This study highlights the tradition’s role in promoting social bonds and spiritual discipline while contributing to broader discussions about the Living Qur’an in the context of Indonesian Islamic traditions.
