Abstract

Digital transformation has confronted Indonesian Islamic boarding school (pesantren) with the need to redefine traditional Islamic textbook literacy (kitab kuning), marking a critical point in contemporary Islamic education. Although previous studies have addressed institutional and curriculum modernisation, research mapping how these changes reconfigure kitab kuning literacy as a holistic epistemic practice remains limited. Through an integrative literature review, this article synthesises discourse on pesantren modernisation, digital pedagogy, and critical literacy. The findings reveal the transformation of kitab kuning literacy as a three-dimensional construct: (1) traditional literacy (preserving textual authority); (2) digital literacy (enabling access and hybrid learning); and (3) critical literacy (fostering evaluative reasoning in the post-truth era). The main challenge lies in the structural dilemma between expanding access and safeguarding ethical-epistemic integrity, alongside institutional responses ranging from cautious adoption to selective integration. The prospects of Islamic education depend on developing a supporting institutional ecosystem, including governance, dialogic pedagogy, and a selective institutional culture, capable of operationalising this trilogy of literacy sustainably. This article formulates strategic implications for curriculum redesign, teacher training, and digital governance that preserve the knowledge transmission (sanad) tradition while strengthening critical-digital competencies.

Abstract

This article reframes the early Islamic experience as a usable archive for global constitutionalism by theorizing the Medinan compact and the prophetic pledge of allegiance (bay’ah) as a covenantal social contract. Unlike transactional models that center self-interest, a covenantal grammar binds political membership through thick consent, reciprocal guarantees among distinct communities, and a shared locus of authority and adjudication. Methodologically, the study integrates internal reconstruction of primary clauses in the Medina Charter with a cautious comparative reading against modern contractarianism. We operationalize three indicators (consent, reciprocity, and authority) and code their textual instantiation across clauses on common defense, inter-communal autonomy, and dispute settlement to God and His Messenger. The analysis shows that consent is ritualized and renewable (bay’ah), reciprocity is institutionalized through mutual protection and liability rules, and authority is centralized yet procedurally shared through a common adjudicatory forum. These features distinguish a covenantal contract from transactional social contracts and generate implementable design cues for plural polities: a shared moral preamble, inter-communal autonomy with a forum, reciprocity guarantees over religion and property, and periodic covenant renewal as a civic rite. The article addresses anachronism and authenticity debates by triangulating early sources and bracketing contested passages. While historically bounded, the framework broadens the archive of global constitutionalism and offers a normative vocabulary for post-conflict constitution-making and durable coexistence in religiously diverse societies.

Abstract

The expansion of K-pop fandom among young Muslim women in Indonesia has unfolded alongside the rise of digital da’wa that frames K-pop as a moral risk. This study examines how anti-K-pop da’wa texts construct the figure of the ideal Muslimah and how fans negotiate that framing in everyday practice. Using a qualitative-interpretive approach, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of the book Pernah Tenggelam was combined with in-depth interviews with three Muslim women fans. The findings identify a configuration of nomination/predication/legitimation and intensification strategies that normalizes a binary opposition between the ideal Muslimah and the K-waver, which calls for identity repositioning. On the reception side, readers are not passive; they enact contextual moral reasoning through four tactics: content filtering, mapping private-public spaces, aesthetic reading (music/choreography rather than celebrity cult), and management of engagement intensity. These practices yield three dynamic subject positions: selective opposition, conditional co-existence, and hybridization, demonstrating the possibility of coexisting piety and popular pleasure. Conceptually, the study enriches scholarship on the encounter between popular culture and the politics of piety; methodologically, it demonstrates the integration of CDA with audience-reception data; and practically, it recommends dialogic-empathetic da’wa design and strengthened media literacy.

Abstract

  Optimism regarding the integration of Islamic criminal law based on Aceh's success as a national legal laboratory shows optimism regarding the integration of Islamic criminal law in other provinces. Ideally, the Qanun Jinayah creates humanistic and constitutional justice, but in practice it still faces legal disharmony in the socio-political sphere. This study uses a qualitative method with a normative juridical approach through a statute approach and conceptual approach. Data was obtained through a literature study of primary sources such as Law No. 11 of 2006, Qanun Aceh No. 6 of 2014, and Aceh Governor Regulation No. 5 of 2018, as well as secondary data in the form of academic literature and scientific journals. The analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically through content analysis to identify the normative position of the Qanun Jinayah, potential legal disharmony, and opportunities for applying its legal values outside Aceh. This study presents a novelty by placing the Qanun Jinayah Aceh as a model for the integration of Sharia law into national law through analysis that is not only normative but also sociological and political. Thus, several recommendations from this study are the strengthening of national law integration, the reformulation of the approach to Islamic criminal law, and the critique of the challenges of enforcing Qanun in other regions to demonstrate the opportunities for applying the Qanun Jinayah Aceh in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article examines students’ motivational pathways in choosing the Islamic Primary School Teacher Education Programme and proposes an Integrative Motivation Pathway Model for prospective Islamic primary teachers. Using a descriptive qualitative design at UIN Raden Intan Lampung, primary data were collected through open-ended questionnaires administered to 150 first-year students and semi-structured interviews with 10 purposively selected students and the Programme Secretary. Data were analyzed following Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, supported by source and method triangulation. The findings show that internal motivational pathways are anchored in a combination of spiritual drive, professional interest in teaching, and aspirations for character-based self-development. Family support, programme image, a religious campus culture, lecturer influence, and perceived career prospects within Islamic educational institutions reinforce external pathways. Synthesising these pathways, the proposed model conceptualizes programme choice as an interlocking process in which spiritual, professional, and social dimensions converge from initial intention to sustained career commitment. The model extends the application of Maslow’s and Herzberg’s motivational frameworks within Islamic teacher education, offering practical implications for program governance and student motivation development.

Abstract

In Indonesia, marriage age reform has been implemented by raising the minimum age limit to 19 years as an effort to prevent child marriage. However, in practice, this reform faces dispensations that were initially designed as emergency exceptions but have instead become the primary mechanism of implementation, normalising exceptions and shifting the logic of protection to procedural compliance. This article analyses the transformation of these dispensations and their implications for girls' reproductive health rights at the grassroots level. Using a qualitative juridical-empirical approach with a case study in Nyawangan Village, Tulungagung, data were collected through interviews with KUA officers, health workers, and village officials, as well as observations and document reviews. Framed by the Effectiveness of Law theory, the article reveals that dispensations operate as the practical face of reform through routine administrative processes, driven by social, economic, and institutional pressures, with minimal substantive intervention. As a result, considerations of reproductive health and the psychosocial readiness of girls are often overlooked, creating a gap between procedural legality and substantive protection. This article recommends reinstating dispensations as high-threshold exceptions, subject to strict evidentiary standards, standardised health assessments, and cross-institutional coordination focused on delaying marriage. The implication is that marriage-age reform must be firmly embedded at the normative level and supported by governance that truly centres on the best interests of girls.

Abstract

This article reconstructs Islamic environmental ethics from a stewardship framework that is persuasive towards an ecocentric jurisprudence based on maqasid, which responds to the demands of intergenerational equity. Using a normative-conceptual approach, this study analyses the anthropocentric bias in the discourse and governance of Islamic environmental issues. The main findings indicate that anthropocentrism rarely appears as an explicit doctrine but operates as a recurring pattern of legal reasoning in framing problems, policy priorities, and institutional design. As a result, this article outlines a typology of anthropocentric reasoning, specifically instrumental-extractivist, normative-symbolic dualism, sectoral-coordinative fragmentation, and centralisation-participation deficits. It also identifies normative anchors for the shift towards an ecocentric perspective, where maqasid and maslahah serve as a grammar of justification requiring the reading of consequences and the prevention of ecological mafsadah; the Qur’anic ontology as a principle of limitation; and classical conservation institutional memory as an inspiration for modern ecological accountability. Within this framework, intergenerational equity is formulated as a normative horizon that tests short-termism, burden shifting, and the safeguarding of ecological baselines for the future. The contribution of this article is an analytical and reconstructive framework that bridges Islamic environmental ethics and intergenerational justice, while also proposing an initial institutional pathway for more consistent Islamic environmental governance across sectors and generation.
