Abstract

Traditional Islamic religious educational institutions, such as Islamic boarding schools, are one of the oldest educational institutions that have inspired the birth of various modern secular educational institutions in Muslim countries. However, over time, traditional Islamic boarding schools have been faced with a difficult choice, namely whether they should adapt to modernity or maintain their existence independently and separately from the outside world. This situation does not have a major impact on most Islamic boarding schools, because Islamic boarding schools are based in rural communities. On the other hand, the exclusive attitude of Islamic boarding schools also results in minimal political support to protect the interests of Islamic boarding schools so that they continue to exist. The relationship between Islamic boarding schools and political authorities often experiences ups and downs that sometimes harm Islamic boarding schools, even causing the closure of Islamic boarding schools. This article discusses the comparison of traditional Islamic boarding school education in Turkey and Indonesia and the ups and downs of the relationship between Islamic boarding schools and the ruling authorities in Turkey in the early days of the Republic and Salaf Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia during the New Order. There are several academic reasons underlying the importance of this theme. First, Islamic boarding schools in Turkey and Indonesia face similar challenges, namely a situation where political authorities do not recognize Islamic boarding schools as official educational institutions protected by the state. Second, both are managed independently and independently. Third, Islamic boarding schools in both countries are based on national nationalism and have the same scientific genealogical roots. This study uses a literature study method by relying on books, articles, and relevant books as references.

The discussion examines how historical gender roles in early Islamic society, grounded in prophetic teachings, have evolved and how these evolving roles can contribute to contemporary discussions on gender equality. Through a nuanced examination of the Prophet’s emphasis on fairness, compassion, and respect, the paper argues that these principles can guide efforts to empower women, promote. Ethical leadership, and balance tradition with modernity. This study especially focussing on how the gender related hadith teachings being misunderstood by misinterpretations and Islamic teachings criticized as patriarchal ideology. Examining prophetic hadith with authentic narrations.

Abstract

This article critically examines Muhammad Iqbal’s thought on the reconstruction of Islamic thought and its relevance to contemporary challenges. As a philosopher and reformer, Iqbal rejects stagnation and advocates for the revitalization of ijtihad and the integration of reason and revelation in understanding Islam. Using a qualitative and literature-based approach, this research analyzes Iqbal’s concept of khudi (selfhood) as the core of his intellectual reconstruction, aiming to develop creative, adaptive, and socially responsible Muslim individuals. The findings indicate that Iqbal’s ideas are highly relevant for addressing issues such as identity crises, spiritual poverty, and the challenges of globalization, particularly in the fields of education, theology, and character formation. Iqbal asserts the necessity of education that integrates spiritual values with modern rationality to produce a well-rounded individual (insan kamil) capable of competing in a globalized world. However, the implementation of Iqbal’s thought still faces significant challenges, including resistance from traditionalists and the risk of misinterpreting khudi as mere individualism. This article highlights Iqbal’s vital contribution to constructing a dynamic, humanistic, and contextually relevant paradigm for Islamic scholarship and civilization. The results of this study are expected to provide a foundation for contemporary Islamic renewal strategies and serve as inspiration for academics, educators, and policymakers.

Abstract

Along with the massive issue of Domestic Violence (DV), Islam as a religion that focus on peace and elevates the status of women actually gets a distorted understanding, namely affirmation of domestic violence, precisely in Surah An-Nisa verse 34, 35 and 128 which is only understood textually where the husband is allowed to separate the bed and beat his wife. So, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth study of the verse to analyze the issue of affirmation of domestic violence in Islam. This study was conducted with a literature study through sources relevant to the topic. Through this research, it was found that Islam has never affirmed the existence of domestic violence. Through the study of tafsir and asbabun nuzul of the verse concerned, Islam states that men have the right to lead the family and wives are obliged to obey their husbands in matters justified by religion. The husband's advantage over the wife should not be abused to commit violence against the wife. The verse explains the solutionthat are presented in the event of nusyuz between the two in different and detailed ways. These methods are also relevant to the psychological conditions of women and men, so the statement that Islam justifies domestic violence is an unjustified statement.

Abstract

This study mainly investigates the objectives of the Menhuan system, a unique Sufi organization in western China, to determine its role in unifying Muslim communities in Gansu, Ningxia, and Qinghai. Using historical analysis, the methods involve examining the cultural, political, and religious factors that shaped the system's development. The research concludes that the Menhuan system was a crucial mechanism for integrating diverse ethnic groups into a cohesive socio-religious framework. A significant finding is that its hierarchical and hereditary nature, while a source of unity, also generated internal tensions.this research further discusses the system's contemporary legacy, underscoring its enduring relevance to modern Chinese Muslim identity and community structures.

Abstract

Polygamy, as sanctioned by Islam, continues to be one of the most contentious elements of Islamic family law, frequently misinterpreted both within and beyond Muslim communities. This study analyzes the practice from three fundamental perspectives: rights, rules, and realities. Based on Qur’anic directives, Prophetic traditions, and classical legal interpretations, it delineates the stringent conditions under which a Muslim man may take multiple wives—particularly emphasizing the necessity of fairness, financial capability, and equal treatment. The study examines the rights granted to all parties involved, particularly the frequently neglected protections provided to women. Moreover, it juxtaposes the optimal regulatory structure with the actual experiences in diverse cultural situations, emphasizing both adherence and exploitation. The research aims to elucidate misconceptions and provide a balanced perspective of polygamy's intended role, ethical limitations, and obstacles within contemporary Muslim societies by examining religious ideas in conjunction with current socioeconomic evidence.
