Abstract

This article aims to analyze the dialectic of Qur'anic argumentation regarding Maryam's prophethood from the perspective of two famous commentators, Al-Tabari and Al-Qurthubi, because some interpretations of Maryam's prophethood are considered misogynic by certain circles. Maryam's prophethood is an essential aspect of Islamic theology and has been described in the Qur'an with several verses that provide an overview of Maryam's prophetic role and status. This article aims to understand the interpretive approaches of Al-Tabari and Al-Qurthubi in exploring and explaining Qur'ānic verses related to Maryam's prophethood. The method of analysis used in this article involves a critical review of the commentaries of Al-Tabari and Al-Qurthubi regarding the verses that explain Maryam's prophethood. A comparative approach is used to compare the similarities and differences between the views of the two scholars. In addition, this article also analyzes the historical and cultural context of Al-Tabari and Al-Qurthubi's time to provide a deeper understanding of their interpretations. The analysis shows that Al-Tabari tends to adopt a more historical and linguistic approach in his interpretation. He explores the meanings of words in the relevant verses and relates them to the historical context of the time. On the other hand, Al-Qurthubi tends to adopt a more theological and moral approach in his interpretation. He emphasizes the moral and spiritual messages that can be taken from the prophetic story of Maryam. However, this study has a weak point that can be covered by further research by not exploring the arguments and evidence used by Al-Tabari and Al-Qurthubi in their interpretations critically or by using an approach that can uncover the ideological reasons behind their interpretations.

Abstract

Scholars explore the concept of rationality from various angles, often associating it with thinking that transcends divine considerations. In these debates, some academics have positioned themselves against the Quran, questioning its consistency with rational thought—however, many scholars argue that the Quran addresses subjects metaphysically, harmonizing reason and revelation. A detailed examination reveals numerous verses advocating reasoning, critical thinking, and empirical analysis. These verses invite believers to reflect on natural phenomena, historical events, and ethical dilemmas, underscoring the Quran's emphasis on intellectual engagement and moral discernment.  This paper elucidates the Quran's nuanced approach to rationality by analyzing over five dozen Quranic verses that directly or indirectly discuss the nature and application of reason. Using Islamic research methodologies, it highlights the balance between reason and spirituality, showing that rational thinking is integral to Quranic teachings. This study addresses skeptical or misleading criticisms, affirming that the Quran integrates reason and revelation to offer a comprehensive intellectual and spiritual development framework. Future research should examine how Quranic rationality informs contemporary Islamic thought and practice, especially concerning modern scientific and ethical challenges. Comparative studies between Quranic perspectives on rationality and other philosophical or religious traditions are also recommended to foster interfaith and intercultural understanding.

Abstract

This paper explores the renaissance and development of Islam in North Africa, focusing on historical accounts and religious narratives that predate the arrival of Islam through ‘Amr bin ‘Ᾱṣ under the caliphate of ‘Umar. This study is driven by the need for a deeper understanding of how Islam in North Africa underwent historical transformations, from its early introduction to the detailed development of Islamic laws and traditions. Some historians argue that Islam was introduced earlier through migration to Abyssinia, although it was not adopted as a way of life. Other perspectives, such as Nmah (2018), highlight the role of interactions between Muslims and Christians along the Nile River as the starting point for Islamization and Arabization in the region. The paper also examines the presence of Prophet Yusuf in Egypt and the mission of Prophet Musa to the Israelites, as described in the Qur’an. These narratives indicate that Islam has been known in Egypt since ancient times, though Islamic law was not fully detailed. This study identifies four key periods in the history of Islam in North Africa: the migration to Abyssinia, the period of Prophet Yusuf, the period of Prophet Musa, and the Muslim conquest of Egypt by ‘Amr bin ‘Ᾱṣ. The study concludes that Islam's message has remained consistent since the beginning of humanity, with only the details of Shariah evolving. Future research should focus on the post-conquest period of ‘Amr bin ‘Ᾱṣ, particularly the dynamics of Islamization and Arabization and their impact on local culture and society in North Africa.

Abstract

The phenomenon of pekhanjangan money as a customary sanction in the marriage of the Singkil Aceh Tribe creates a dilemma between the fulfillment of the right to marry and customary obligations. This tradition requires the bride-to-be to compensate her unmarried brother before the wedding. This research aims to analyze the practice of pekhanjangan money and its relevance to maqasid sharia, especially in the aspects of maintaining religion, soul, offspring, mind, and property. The research method uses a qualitative approach with the type of case study in three sub-districts of Aceh Singkil District. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 informants (traditional leaders, religious leaders, perpetrators, and recipients of pekhanjangan), participant observation in three marriage cases, and documentation studies. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results showed that the practice of pekhanjangan is still strongly implemented with a flexible system, where the value of compensation can be negotiated according to economic capacity, ranging from one mayam of gold to other forms of compensation. From the maqasid sharia perspective, this practice supports the maintenance of the soul and intellect through its function in maintaining family harmony and mental health. However, implementation adjustments are needed so as not to cause excessive hardship for the less well-off parties and remain in line with sharia principles.

Abstract

Students who work while studying often experience anxiety and difficulty in managing time, which hurts their learning outcomes and emotional well-being. This study aims to understand the initial state of the counselee, the process of applying therapy, and the impact of applying Client-Centered Theory with Positive Regard (Acceptance) techniques in managing the anxiety of these students. This research uses a qualitative approach with observation, documentation, and interview methods, and the type of case study research. The results showed positive changes in the counselee after therapy, including improvements in positive affirmations, emotional management, and social interactions. The counselee began to smile more often, take a deep breath, worship more diligently, and show improvement in interacting with family. In conclusion, applying Client-Centered Theory with Positive Regard (Acceptance) techniques effectively manages the anxiety of students who study while working. This therapy helps counselees to accept themselves, think positively, and improve emotional and social well-being. It is hoped that the counselee will continue to remember Allah as a source of strength and understand that everything happens by His will, including the challenges faced.

Abstract

The definition and function of Islamic education are still a hot debate in Central Asian Muslim societies. Islam is a significant characteristic of these societies, and the governments approach the idea more utterly. The entire region is earmarked by a distinctive aspect of Islamic civilization that shaped the political and socio-economic structure of this region. This distinction corresponds to a spectacular culture with much broader intellectual traditions rooted in Inner Asia than those of Iran and the Middle East. The study of Islam in Central Asia not only represents various socio-political issues but also discusses contemporary intellectual revival (Tajdid) in the Islamic education system. The Soviet imposition of the teaching of scientific atheism in public schools meant that there were virtually no educators who were familiar with secular, social scientific curricula and teaching methodologies on the study of religion. The lack of pedagogical tools for teaching social scientific approaches to religion led to the widespread view that religion can or should be understood only in doctrinal terms. Not surprisingly, critical and comparative approaches to the study of religion, still in a nascent stage of development, have not found much of a following. The extreme Salafist elucidations of Islam, as well as leaden approaches of traditional viewpoints, are also a challenge to Islamic education in Central Asia since 2005. In 2010, Central Asian scholars of Islam became aware of the potential dangers of an overly narrow religious education and regularly express these concerns due to the isolation of much of the region from prestigious centres of Islamic learning, including Jamiaal-Azhar of Egypt, Arab Institutions and reputed Indo-Pak religious seminaries. In the given context, this article assesses the contemporary discourse of Islamic education in Central Asian Muslim societies, as well as its socio-political implications and significant challenges for designing a balanced pedagogical framework in Islamic education.

Abstract

This study explores the historical and contemporary sectarian divisions within the Muslim world, particularly the Sunni-Shia split, and their political, social, and economic consequences. The research is motivated by the persistent fragmentation of the Muslim Ummah, which has weakened its global influence and made Muslim nations more susceptible to external interference. The study aims to analyze the root causes of sectarianism, assess its impact on the socio-political landscape of Muslim countries, and propose strategies for fostering unity. Using a qualitative research approach, including historical analysis and textual interpretation of Qur'anic and Hadith teachings, this study examines case studies from various Muslim nations to evaluate the real-world implications of sectarian divisions. The findings highlight that disunity among Muslim communities stems not only from theological differences but also from political rivalries and external interventions. Islamic principles such as wahda (unity), ukhuwah (brotherhood), shura (consultation), and adl (justice) provide a strong foundation for overcoming these divisions and strengthening the Ummah's collective sovereignty. This study recommends fostering inter-sectarian dialogue, promoting mutual understanding, and establishing cooperative frameworks among Muslim nations, particularly between influential countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iran. Future research should explore practical mechanisms for implementing these strategies at institutional and governmental levels and the role of Islamic education in countering sectarian narratives. Strengthening unity through Qur'anic values and Prophetic guidance can enhance the Muslim world's resilience, dignity, and autonomy in the face of global challenges.
