Abstract

This paper offers a critical analysis of Clifford Geertz's seminal essay Religion as a Cultural System (1966), which introduced an interpretive paradigm into the study of religion. Geertz defines religion as a system of symbols that shapes durable moods and motivations in human beings by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence and clothing these conceptions with an aura of factuality, thereby linking a religious worldview to a religious ethos. This analysis argues that Geertz's theory constitutes a major turning point in the anthropology of religion by placing meaning, rather than social function or psychological need, at the centre of religious phenomena. At the same time, the theory has been criticised for being overly descriptive, for neglecting questions of power, and for paying insufficient attention to historical change. The paper concludes that Geertz's interpretive approach remains valuable for understanding religion as a cultural system, particularly when read alongside contemporary critical perspectives on power, history, and discourse

Abstract

This article examines the concept of “lived religion” as developed in Susan Crawford Sullivan’s Living Faith: Everyday Religion and Mothers in Poverty. The study focuses on how religion is practiced in the everyday lives of low-income mothers in the United States. Drawing on Sullivan’s qualitative-ethnographic study, the article shows that religion for these women does not depend primarily on institutional participation but is sustained instead through personal, flexible, and context-sensitive practice. The article analyzes Sullivan’s principal findings and assesses her contribution to the sociology of religion, arguing that religion functions simultaneously as a coping mechanism, a source of meaning, and a resource for moral negotiation under conditions of structural constraint. The discussion closes by considering the concept’s relevance for contemporary religious studies more broadly, including its potential application to Islam as a discursive tradition.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Imam Malik's hadith methodology in al-Muwatta' and its contribution to the development of hadith studies and Islamic jurisprudence. Al-Muwatta' is one of the earliest works in the history of hadith compilation, integrating prophetic traditions with the practices of the people of Madinah (ahl al-Madinah). This research employs a qualitative approach using library research methods based on classical and contemporary sources. The findings reveal that Imam Malik applied a rigorous method of hadith selection, combining chains of transmission, the collective practice of the Madinan community, and the principle of public interest (maslahah). Furthermore, the book functions as both a hadith collection and a legal manual. Imam Malik's contribution lies not only in hadith codification but also in the formulation of a contextual and applicable methodology of Islamic law

Abstract

This study explores the concept of vicarious religion introduced by Grace Davie to explain the transformation of religiosity amid modernity, a process initially predicted to trigger total secularization. The concept refers to a phenomenon in which religious practice is carried out by an active minority on behalf of a passive majority who, despite not participating routinely, still expect religion to be present as a guardian of morals and collective identity. This study aims to explain the theoretical framework of vicarious religion, identify its forms of manifestation, and analyze the methodological challenges it raises for modern sociology of religion. The findings show that vicarious religion is manifested through delegative rituals, beliefs entrusted to specific authorities, moral representation in public issues, and the reactivation of religion’s role as a “reservoir of meaning” in times of crisis. Methodologically, this phenomenon challenges conventional quantitative approaches that measure only physical attendance, and encourages the use of interpretive and mixed methods to capture the latent dimensions of religiosity. In conclusion, there has been a shift from obligation-based to choice-based religion, in which religion continues to perform significant social and symbolic functions through mechanisms of representation.

Abstract

This paper aims to comprehensively analyze the monumental thought and contributions of Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani (773–852 AH) in the field of hadith science, covering three main domains: musthalah al-hadith (hadith terminology), syarah hadith (hadith commentary), and jarh wa ta'dil (narrator criticism). The method used is qualitative library research, employing descriptive-analytical analysis of primary works such as Fath al-Bari, Nukhbat al-Fikar, and Taqrib al-Tahdzib. The findings show that in musthalah al-hadith, Ibn Hajar successfully systematized hadith classification through a deductive-hierarchical framework in Nukhbat al-Fikar. In the field of commentary, his masterwork Fath al-Bari stands as the culmination of the hadith commentary tradition, integrating multidisciplinary approaches such as history, linguistics, and jurisprudence. In jarh wa ta'dil, his contribution is evident in the standardization of twelve levels (maratib) of narrator evaluation, providing an objective standard for chain-of-transmission criticism. This paper concludes that Ibn Hajar's intellectual dedication cemented his position as Amir al-Mu'minin fi al-Hadits (Commander of the Faithful in Hadith), whose scholarly legacy remains a standard reference in contemporary hadith studies worldwide.

Abstract

The representation of Muslims in digital games has received increasing scholarly attention, yet existing research has largely focused on visual imagery, narrative representation, and ideological discourse while overlooking the procedural nature of gameplay. This article argues that Muslim hero identity in Islamic video games cannot be adequately understood through representational analysis alone. Instead, identity emerges through players' interaction with computational systems that organize ethical choices, moral responsibility, and religious meaning. This study aims to reconstruct the concept of Muslim hero identity by integrating Representation Theory, Procedural Rhetoric, and Digital Religion into a unified conceptual framework. Employing a qualitative theory-building approach, the study combines systematic literature review, qualitative content analysis, critical discourse analysis, and theory synthesis to examine how identity is constituted through interactive gameplay rather than static representation. The analysis demonstrates that procedural mechanics, player agency, moral agency, and religious meaning-making collectively shape the construction of Muslim hero identity. Based on these findings, the study proposes the Procedural Muslim Hero Identity Framework (PMHIF), comprising five interconnected dimensions: Representational Foundation, Procedural System, Interactive Moral Agency, Religious Meaning-Making, and Procedural Muslim Hero Identity. The framework reconceptualizes Muslim hero identity as an emergent, participatory, and ethically situated process enacted through gameplay rather than merely represented through narrative or visual symbols. By moving beyond representational paradigms, this study extends Procedural Rhetoric into the domain of Digital Religion and offers a new interdisciplinary framework that contributes to Game Studies, Islamic Media Studies, and the broader scholarship on religion and interactive digital media.
Reconstructing the Epistemology of Istidrāk al-Ṣaḥābī as a Model of Ḥadīth Matn Criticism: An Analysis of al-Zarkashī’s al-Ijābah Yuana Ryan Tresna; Moh. Najib; Engkos Kosasih; Hendri Waluyo Lensa

Abstract

Research on ḥadīth criticism has so far concentrated mainly on the authentication of the chain of transmission (isnād), while criticism of the text itself (matn) has not received proportionate scholarly attention. Yet the practice of evaluating the substance of ḥadīth can be traced back to the generation of the Companions through istidrāk al-ṣaḥābī, most notably as practiced by Sayyidah ʿĀʾishah. This study aims to reconstruct the theory of istidrāk al-ṣaḥābī as an epistemological model of ḥadīth matn criticism based on an analysis of al-Zarkashī’s al-Ijābah li-Īrād Mā Istadrakathu ʿĀʾishah ʿalā al-Ṣaḥābah. The study employs a qualitative approach in the form of library research and applies Theory-Building Research as its data-analysis technique. The primary data the text of al-Ijābah were analyzed through the stages of identifying cases of istidrāk, abstracting concepts, classifying critical instruments, and reconstructing theory. The findings show that istidrāk al-ṣaḥābī is a practice of matn criticism possessing a systematic methodological structure. Sayyidah ʿĀʾishah drew on a range of epistemic sources the Qur’an, the Sunnah, historical fact, empirical experience, linguistic analysis, and rational consideration as the basis for evaluating the substance of ḥadīth. On the basis of these findings, the study reconstructs the theory of istidrāk al-ṣaḥābī into three principal components: epistemic sources, critical instruments, and the mechanism of matn validation. This reconstruction demonstrates that matn criticism has been an integral part of ḥadīth methodology since the period of the Companions and broadens the understanding of the epistemology of classical ḥadīth criticism. The study offers a new conceptual model that enriches the development of theory in ḥadīth matn criticism and contributes to contemporary studies of ḥadīth epistemology.

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the profiles, characteristics, and narration methodologies of four principal hadith-narrating Companions: Abu Hurairah, Aisyah bint Abu Bakr, Abdullah ibn Abbas, and Abdullah ibn Umar. In addition, this paper critically evaluates the polemic surrounding the large number of narrations attributed to Abu Hurairah, which has been the target of criticism from contemporary scholars and orientalists. The study employs a qualitative library-research method combining three approaches: critical biography (al-tarjamah al-naqdiyyah), comparative analysis, and argument evaluation (naqd al-hujaj). The findings identify four ideal types of narration methodology: intensive-holistic (Abu Hurairah), selective-critical (Aisyah), interpretive-analytical (Ibn Abbas), and conservative-verificative (Ibn Umar). Regarding the Abu Hurairah polemic, the critics' arguments are found to contain methodological weaknesses in the form of overgeneralization and double standards, while the large volume of Abu Hurairah's narrations has adequate historical explanations rooted in his dedication. The study concludes that the difference in the quantity of narrations among the four figures reflects differences in historical circumstances and methodological choices rather than differences in integrity or faith.

Abstract

This article presents a critical review of the theme of religious authority as elaborated by Pauline Hope Cheong in Chapter Five of Heidi A. Campbell's edited volume Digital Religion: Understanding Religious Practice in New Media Worlds (Routledge, 2013). Employing a qualitative library-research approach with thematic content analysis, this study reconstructs Cheong's three analytical logics—disjuncture and displacement, continuity and complementarity, and dialectics and paradox—and projects their relevance to contemporary Hadith studies. The findings indicate that, first, Cheong's tripartite framework is a robust meta-theoretical instrument for mapping the dynamics of religious authority in digital culture. Second, the displacement logic resonates with the phenomenon of unauthorized fatwa circulation and the “democratization” of hadith citation in cyberspace, which threatens the epistemic monopoly of the ulama. Third, the continuity logic finds parallels in the strategic adaptation of hadith scholars and pesantren-based institutions in producing digital content for verifying narrations (takhrīj). Fourth, the dialectical logic offers a more nuanced perspective for reading the paradox of digital authority within Hadith Studies, namely that an audience's digital literacy can simultaneously erode and reinforce the authority of muḥaddith. This article concludes that integrating Cheong's framework with the classical epistemology of ʿulūm al-ḥadīth—particularly the principles of isnād, ʿadālah, and ḍabṭ—is urgently needed to formulate a methodology for evaluating the authority of hadith narrations on digital platforms.

Abstract

Coastal marine ecosystems in the Coral Triangle are facing unprecedented threats, yet high-resolution data to guide management remains scarce. This study presents a comparative analysis of coral reef health at two contrasting sites in Nabire Bay, Indonesia, using quantitative data from a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). Site 1 (Nabire) and Site 2 (Pulau Nusi) were surveyed to assess benthic composition. The results reveal a stark picture of degradation at both locations, but driven by different ecological dynamics. Site 2 (Pulau Nusi) is in a critical state, with live coral cover at a mere 3.13% and dominated by sand (61.73%) and rubble (21.20%), indicating chronic sedimentation stress. Site 1 (Nabire) shows slightly better but still poor conditions, with live coral cover at 6.64%, but with a higher proportion of dead coral (17.27%). The comparative analysis highlights that while both sites are severely degraded, the dominant degradation driver at Pulau Nusi is likely terrestrial runoff and sedimentation, whereas Site 1 may be experiencing a combination of stressors including a recent mass mortality event. This study underscores the utility of ROV technology for rapid, cost-effective, and quantitative assessment, providing crucial, site-specific data needed to develop targeted conservation and management strategies in a high-priority marine biodiversity region.
