Abstract

Environmental degradation and biodiversity loss pose significant challenges to ecological balance and sustainable development. While modern environmental science and regulatory frameworks provide essential mechanisms for addressing these challenges, religious ethics can offer complementary normative foundations for responsible environmental stewardship. This study examines how the Prophetic Hadith contributes to contemporary environmental discourse, particularly biodiversity conservation, animal welfare, water resource management, and protected-area governance. Using a qualitative analytical approach, it examines selected reports from major classical hadith collections, including Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī no. 2320, narrated by Anas ibn Mālik, on planting trees and cultivating crops as acts of charity; Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim no. 1552b, narrated by Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh, on the benefits of planting for humans and animals; Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī no. 2363, narrated by Abū Hurayrah, on providing water to a thirsty animal; Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim no. 2242a, transmitted by ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar through Nāfiʿ, on the prohibition of neglecting animals; and Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī no. 2370, reporting through Ibn ʿAbbās from al-Ṣaʿb ibn Jaththāmah, on the concept of ḥimā as a designated protected area. The hadiths are analyzed thematically in relation to ecological responsibility, biodiversity conservation, sustainable resource use, and environmental governance. The findings indicate that these traditions articulate an ethical framework emphasizing care for living beings, the public significance of natural resources, and the protection of designated areas. The concept of ḥimā offers a historical precedent for examining the ethical foundations of contemporary protected-area management, although its institutional application requires contextual interpretation. Contribution:This study contributes an interdisciplinary framework connecting Prophetic environmental ethics with Sustainable Development Goals 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), 13 (Climate Action), and 15 (Life on Land). It argues that hadith-based ethics can complement, rather than replace, scientific evidence and modern environmental law in strengthening the normative foundations of sustainable environmental governance.

Abstract

This study examines the translation of jinās and related sound-based rhetorical patterns in the Qur’an by comparing the Arabic source text with the English translations of Abdullah Yusuf Ali and Arthur J. Arberry. It investigates how phonological form, semantic meaning, morphological structure, rhythm, and discourse function are preserved, transformed, or lost in translation, while exploring the limited contribution of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to rhetorical translation analysis. Adopting a qualitative comparative design, the study integrates classical Arabic rhetoric, Qur’anic discourse analysis, and comparative translation analysis. Four purposively selected cases are examined: Q.S. al-Fajr [89]: 22 (ṣaffan ṣaffan), Q.S. al-Lail [92]: 5 (aʿṭā/ittaqā), Q.S. al-Duha [93]: 9–10 (taqhar/tanhar), and Q.S. al-An‘am [6]: 26 (yanhawna/yanʾawna). ChatGPT is employed as a human-supervised exploratory instrument to compare linguistic forms and generate alternative formulations, with all outputs evaluated against the Arabic text, classical rhetorical categories, contextual meaning, and established translation principles. The findings indicate that rhetorical translation involves multidimensional reconfiguration rather than a simple opposition between preservation and loss. Across the four cases, semantic relations are generally retained to a greater extent than their original phonological organization, although the degree and form of transformation vary. The study proposes four heuristic categories of rhetorical change: phonological loss, rhythmic loss, morphological or formal loss, and phonological-semantic restructuring. It further distinguishes compensatory approximation as a potential translation strategy rather than a category of loss. Experimental AI-generated formulations illustrate that increased sound similarity may introduce semantic or contextual distortions, underscoring the need for human validation. Contribution: The study contributes a framework for analyzing rhetorical change across languages and demonstrates how generative AI can support exploratory linguistic analysis without replacing scholarly interpretation or the methodological authority of the researcher.

Abstract

This article seeks to clarify the interpretation of qiwāmah through a critical analysis of QS. Al-Nisā’ [4]:34 in the context of changing gender roles and contemporary economic dynamics. The increasing financial independence of Muslim women has influenced understandings of the husband’s legal position within the family, even giving rise to the assumption that family leadership may be assumed by women. This study employs library research using a conceptual approach and descriptive-deductive analysis, integrating classical exegetical perspectives with contemporary socio-economic realities. The findings demonstrate that qiwāmah fundamentally constitutes a trust involving the responsibility to maintain and protect the family, rather than hierarchical superiority. Qiwāmah is not intended to position men as superior and women as inferior. Although financial roles may change, qiwāmah remains vested in the husband because transferring this mandate may create doctrinal inconsistency and disproportionate burdens. From a legal perspective, qiwāmah vested in men enables women to claim their right to maintenance and seek divorce when the husband fails to fulfill his obligations. Such consequences become difficult to reconcile if qiwāmah is vested in women, as women would assume responsibility for protection while losing their position as recipients of that responsibility. Socially, transferring qiwāmah may generate double burdens, obscure the protective function of family leadership, and weaken the structure of rights and obligations designed to protect women in Islamic family law. Thus, qiwāmah should be understood as an egalitarian and cooperative ethical framework that rejects domination. The verse on qiwāmah does not require women to honor men; rather, it requires men to honor women. Contribution: This study contributes to contemporary Islamic family law by reconceptualizing qiwāmah as an egalitarian and cooperative trust grounded in men’s responsibility to protect and maintain the family, while clarifying its legal implications for women’s rights amid changing gender roles and economic dynamics.

Abstract

Qur’anic exegesis in Indonesia has developed through diverse scholarly traditions, educational institutions, and religious practices within society. This article aims to analyze and compare three arenas of Qur’anic interpretation: Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), higher education institutions, and oral exegesis in public religious forums, focusing on sources of knowledge, interpretive strategies, the legitimation of authority, and the circulation of exegetical knowledge. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-comparative design and interpretive discourse analysis. The data are drawn from exegetical works by Indonesian Muslim scholars, academic literature, previous studies, and observations of teaching and interpretive practices across these arenas. The findings indicate that pesantren sustain the transmission of knowledge through the study of classical texts, teacher–student relationships, and the adaptation of local languages; higher education institutions develop Qur’anic interpretation through systematic research, diverse methodological approaches, and engagement with the social sciences and humanities; while oral exegesis contextualizes Qur’anic messages through sermons, religious study sessions, and digital media in response to audience needs. These three arenas are not entirely separate but may influence one another through the circulation of texts, methods, ideas, and religious authority. The article proposes a comparative framework for understanding the diversity of Qur’anic interpretive practices in Indonesia. However, the limited scope of empirical data calls for further case-study research using participant observation and interviews to investigate more deeply the mechanisms of knowledge circulation and the reception of interpretations across these three arenas. Contribution: Theoretically, it contributes to the development of Qur’anic studies by extending analysis beyond textual studies and interpretive methodologies to examine the relationships among the production, transmission, legitimation, and reception of exegetical knowledge across different religious arenas in Indonesia

Abstract

This study examines how K.H. Misbah Mustafa organizes textual and inherited scholarly authority in Tafsīr al-Iklīl fī Maʿānī al-Tanzīl, a Javanese pesantren commentary, and how this organization shapes the social application of Qur’anic norms related to religious moderation. Previous studies have discussed al-Iklīl in terms of ethical reasoning, socio-cultural negotiation, and contextual interpretation, yet the epistemic mechanism through which its normative judgments acquire authority and limits of application remains insufficiently explained. Using a qualitative textual-interpretive approach, the study examines Q. 2:143, Q. 28:77, Q. 2:256, Q. 10:99, and Q. 9:41 through a bayānī framework that traces textual authority, linguistic reasoning, inherited scholarship, normative inference, contextual specification, and scope of enactment. The analysis identifies three interrelated patterns: normative ordering, differentiated authority, and regulated enactment. These patterns indicate that moderation in al-Iklīl does not require a weakening of scriptural commitment. It emerges, instead, through distinctions between the validity of a religious norm, the authority entitled to act upon it, and the conditions governing its legitimate enactment. The article thus contributes an epistemological account of how normative commitment and social restraint can coexist within a text-centered, pesantren-based tradition of Qur’anic interpretation. Contribution: This study contributes to Indonesian Qur’anic exegesis by proposing an epistemological analytical model to explain how the pesantren exegetical tradition preserves the normative authority of the Qur’an while simultaneously regulating its social application. Accordingly, religious moderation is understood not merely as a set of ethical values, but as the outcome of an interpretive process that structures the relationship between norms, authority, and social action.
