Abstract

The issues surrounding Migration and the Problems of Muslim Minorities in the Modern World have become a hot topic of discussion and are constantly changing. Not only by Muslims but also by non-Muslims are fascinated by this issue. The coverage of foreign (Western) media that always corners Islam (not individuals in Islam) and global terror events is very effective in changing a country’s policy to fight against Islam. However, this does not mean that they (the West) are discriminatory actions against Muslims living there. This study aims to review migration events and how the conditions of Muslim immigrants are in Bali and several essential countries in Europe and Asia. This article is a library research and empirical facts were obtained from various current and reliable news sources. This research examines the extent of the fate of Muslim immigrants in multiple countries with different characters and critically examines how the policies of these countries impact Muslim minorities. In addition, a comparative study was also conducted on the condition of Muslim immigrants being minorities in several countries with different backgrounds and characters. The results of research are: Firstly, Western countries highly uphold human rights. Some of the friction occuring with the Muslim minority is a precautionary measure, rather than discrimination as it is often presented to them. Secondly, the conflict between Muslim minority and local population is motivated by two factors: (a) their ignorance of the real Islam and thinking that terrorist Islam is the same as King Salman in Saudi Arabia or Imām Khumaeni in Iran, and (b) improved security to protect the country and all of its people from acts of terrorism. Thirdly, discriminatory treatment occurs in the East World, China, Myanmar, Thailand are real examples that until now have not received a solution; even the United Nations has stated that the Rohingya are the most oppressed minority on earth. This study contributes to academic discourse by offering a nuanced understanding of migration and the treatment of Muslim minorities across diverse geopolitical contexts.

Abstract

This article discusses the method of hadith hermeneutics according to Khaled M. Abou El-Fadl. El Fadl's academic concern is related to the authoritarianism of fatwas issued by several ulama and fatwa institutions. These fatwas are considered authoritarian and discriminatory towards women, seem rigid, and can’t adapt to the times. This authoritarianism phenomenon appears due to methodological errors in understanding legal texts, and the absence of negotiations between the text, the author, and the reader, each of whom has problems. Therefore, Khaled offers a hermeneutic method that consists of three things: text competence, meaning determination, and the concept of representation in Islam. If these three elements are met, then the fatwas of Islamic law produced by the ulama are authoritative, authoritarian, and discriminatoryThis article discusses themethod of hadith hermeneutics according to Khaled M.

Abstract

As a human being, the Prophet was involved humanly in various dynamics of life. TheProphet used ijtihad reasoning and subjective tendencies, which are of course relative, inresponding to life's problems. As a messenger of Allah, the actions and words of theProphet are decisions for Muslims except for revelation with other provisions from Allahsuch as with Q.S al-Nisa ' 4:34; one of the verses that presents a lot controversialdiscussion. The Prophet's decision to qiṣāṣ a husband who committed violence against hiswife, his passion is to provide justice and protection to women, but the decision wasoverturned by Q.S al-Nisa ' 4:34 which came down with other provisions as well asnuances of reprimand to the Prophet. The problem to be revealed in this paper is why Q.Sal-Nisa ' 4:34 intervened in the Prophet's decision in responding to domestic violence. Thisresearch is a qualitative library research. The method of description is descriptive-analytical,which explains the basic construction of the Prophet's ijtihad and the significance of Q.Sal-Nisa 4:34 to be analyzed using a historical-hermeneutical approach. The generalconclusion from this paper is that Q.S al-Nisa' [4]: 34 places the issue of household andgender relations in the perspective of a social order that has been widely applied.

Abstract

This article reviews the epistemology of the works of interpretation generated from prison rooms. Hamka and Qutb have similarities in their life struggles. Their presence in prison greatly influences the pattern of their phenomenal works in the field of interpretation, AlAzhar and Fi Zilal al-Qur'an. The objective of writing this article is to make a typification through a hermeneutic-philosophy-based approach. From the analysis carried out, we find a conclusion that each character, even though both are in prison, both have differences and similarities in the character of the work produced. This can be seen from his interpretation of the verses concerning politics. A comparative analysis shows that three domains characterize the prison interpretation of the two: first, the interpretation is generated from a strong psychosocial aspect of the author's affection; second, the interpretation contains more explanations that are building a system of action; Third, the difference in interests in writing commentaries is caused by the external and internal background of the writer's life.This article reviews the epistemology of the works of interpretation generated from prison rooms.

Abstract

The validity of mutawatir and ahad Sunnah has been a subject of debate since the post-sahabah era and subsequent generations. Some groups reject the existence of Sunnah altogether, while others do not accept ahad Sunnah as a source of law. These groups are known as inkar al-sunnah. This phenomenon is also found in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the principles of groups that reject ahad Sunnah in determining sources of law, using qualitative methods with a content analysis approach to this concept. The findings reveal that inkar al-sunnah groups consider the Qur'an as a complete and definitive (qath’i) source, rendering the ahad Sunnah, which is considered speculative (dzann), unnecessary. Three categories of groups were identified: (1) groups rejecting Sunnah entirely; (2) groups rejecting Sunnah unless it has an empirical correlation with the Qur'an; and (3) groups not accepting ahad Sunnah, including Mu’tazilah and Orientalists. The study also identifies several doctrines of inkar al-sunnah in Indonesia: rejecting the obligation of prayer, zakat, fasting during Ramadan, and other religious practices. This research contributes to academic discourse by providing new insights into the inkar al-sunnah phenomenon in Indonesia and its impact on religious understanding and practices. However, this study has limitations, as it does not include an in-depth empirical exploration of the dynamics of these groups within society. Further research is recommended to explore the social and theological impacts of the inkar al-sunnah phenomenon in various regions and to analyze effective ways to address these theological challenges within Muslim communities.

Abstract

This paper aims to see the development of the Play Store Al-Qur'an manuscripts in Indonesia as well as to question the discourse on the authority of digital religious texts. This study uses a field research model whose data are taken from various sources with observation, documentation, and interview techniques. The results of the study found that the Play Store Al-Qur'an manuscripts in Indonesia are quite varied and can be divided into three classifications: (1) Reading Mushaf; (2) Listening Mushaf; and (3) Learning Mushaf. Of the many mushaf applications available on the Play Store, only 10% said it had been approved by the LPMQ of the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia, the rest did not mention a clear source. This phenomenon arises because of the lack of strict government supervision of digital Qur'anic mushaf and the absence of special treatment to suppress the circulation of digital Qur'ans that have not been standardized. This is at least influenced by the policy of digital Qur’anic standardization which has not been stated in PMA Number 44 of 2016 concerning Issuance, Standardization, and Circulation of Qur'anic Mushaf. As a result, the submission of digital Qur'an standardization at LPMQ while the rules are the same as printing manuscripts.This paper aims to see the development of the Play Store Al-Qur'an manuscripts in Indonesia as well as to question the discourse on the authority of digital religious texts.

Abstract

Ashabiyah and Mulk are positioned as driving forces within the broader framework of Ibn Khaldun’s theory on the rise and fall of dynasties. While many studies have explored Ashabiyah and Mulk, limited efforts have been made to apply these concepts to empirical phenomena in various societies. This paper aims to bridge this gap by applying Ibn Khaldun’s theory to the historical role of saints’ da’wa and their alliances with rulers during the era of the Demak Empire. This research employs a qualitative approach using literature studies, with primary sources including Ibn Khaldun’s Muqaddimah and secondary sources from related scholarly articles. The analysis reveals that Ibn Khaldun’s theory effectively explains the decline of the Demak Empire, attributed to the weakening of Ashabiyah among its ruling elite. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the continued relevance of Ashabiyah and Mulk in analyzing socio-religious phenomena in both historical and contemporary Muslim societies. This research contributes to the academic discourse by offering a practical application of Ibn Khaldun’s theoretical framework to historical and sociological analysis, highlighting its utility in understanding the dynamics of social cohesion and governance. It also underscores the enduring relevance of classical Islamic thought in contemporary contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the impact of social media on the development of da'wah in Indonesia. Social media platforms commonly used by Indonesians, such as YouTube and Facebook, have significantly influenced the behavior and methods of delivering Islamic messages. In response to these changes, many scholars have adopted social media as a medium for da'wah. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach by analyzing data collected through direct interviews with respondents. The findings indicate that social media has had a profound impact on the development of da'wah, enabling scholars to leverage technology for propagating Islamic teachings. The use of platforms such as YouTube and Facebook has made preaching more accessible and efficient, allowing scholars to reach broader audiences without the limitations of traditional methods. This study contributes to the understanding of how digital platforms transform traditional practices of da'wah, offering insights into the intersection of technology and religious communication. By highlighting the advantages and challenges of utilizing social media for da'wah, this research provides a foundation for further exploration of digital strategies in religious propagation.

Abstract

This paper explores the issue of mubdil in Badal Hajj. A mubdil is a person that performing the entire series of Hajj on behalf of a mubdal minhu (the person being replaced). According to hadith narrations, a mubdil is ideally a child or sibling of the mubdal minhu. However, in practice, Badal Hajj is often carried out by individuals with no familial ties to the mubdal minhu, and in some cases, the mubdil has no knowledge of the person they are replacing. Instances of responsibility misapplication and even fraudulent practices, such as performing Badal Hajj for multiple mubdal minhu, have also been reported. The practice of Badal Hajj is rooted in hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, permitting to perform Hajj on behalf of others due to physical incapacity or death. This study employs the fiqh al-hadith method to examine these hadiths, analyzing them in relation to Quranic verses, other hadiths, and through both textual and contextual approaches. The findings reveal specific characteristics that a mubdil must possess to fulfill their responsibilities ethically and effectively. These characteristics, when realized, can minimize the misuse of responsibility and ensure the trustworthiness of Badal Hajj practices. This research contributes to the field of Islamic jurisprudence by providing a detailed framework for the ethical practice of Badal Hajj. It highlights the importance of maintaining trust and integrity in religious practices and offers methodological insights into analyzing hadiths in conjunction with contemporary challenges.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the concept of thermodynamic laws in physics through the lens of Islamic philosophy, particularly in relation to the concept of Tawhid or divinity. The analysis focuses on identifying the intersections and contrasts between the principles of thermodynamics and the Islamic concept of Tawhid, especially in explaining the existence and nature of energy. This research is a literature-based study utilizing secondary data obtained through an extensive review of scholarly texts and relevant literature. The findings indicate that there is both convergence and divergence between the empirical understanding of thermodynamic laws and the Islamic concept of Tawhid. For instance, the first law of thermodynamics, emphasizing the conservation of energy, aligns with certain philosophical interpretations of Tawhid. However, contrastingly, Surah Al-Ikhlas underscores the uniqueness and incomparability of Allah, affirming that nothing can equate to Allah in meaning or substance, thereby distinguishing the concept of divine energy from empirical understandings. This study contributes to the discourse on the integration of science and religion by providing a philosophical framework to explore how scientific principles can intersect with Islamic theological concepts. It highlights the potential for dialogue between empirical evidence and absolute belief, fostering a deeper understanding of both domains.
