Abstract

The global ecological crisis represents a fundamental ethical shift, yet Islamic ecotheology often remains at the level of normative affirmation without an operational framework. This study aims to reframe the Qur’anic concept of corruption (fasad) as ecological corruption and map its normative status within contemporary environmental stewardship. Employing Abdullah Saeed’s contextualist hermeneutics and the hierarchy of values framework, the research adopts a normative-analytical design to derive a measurable logic of responsibility. The study finds that by situating the prohibition of fasad as a universal protection value, environmental stewardship transcends optional virtue to become a mandatory legal-ethical parameter. This classification allows for a rigorous distinction between substantive ecological reform and destructive pseudo-reform often found in developmental rhetoric. Furthermore, the research integrates ecospirituality as an infrastructure of meaning to ensure the internal consistency of pro-environmental behaviour. By synthesising fasad protective boundary, the khalifah mandate, and hifdz al-bi’ah of maqasid al-shariah, this study offers a disciplined moral architecture for public policy. This study provides a methodological foundation for translating sacred texts into adaptive governance instruments that address intergenerational justice and systemic ecological integrity.

Abstract

Minority protection in Muslim-majority societies remains a critical issue because it intersects classical Islamic legal thought, constitutional citizenship, and international human rights norms. Existing scholarship has examined the protective function of ahl al-dhimmah, the ethical relevance of karamah insaniyyah and maqasid al-shariah, and the relationship between Islamic law and international human rights. However, these approaches remain fragmented and have not sufficiently integrated critiques of status-based protection with dignity, equal citizenship, and the implementation gap. This article aims to reconstruct minority protection in contemporary Islamic law through the framework of dignity-based equal citizenship. It employs normative-doctrinal legal research using conceptual, philosophical, and maqasidi approaches, supported by analysis of Islamic legal concepts, human rights norms, and contemporary scholarship. The study finds that classical protection of non-Muslims contained important ethical and historical resources, but its status-based structure is inadequate for the modern constitutional state. It further shows that karamah insaniyyah, maqasid al-shariah, adaptive ijtihad, and international human rights norms can be integrated into a more substantive model of protection. The article concludes that minority protection should be reframed not as conditional tolerance, but as equal citizenship grounded in dignity, justice, public welfare, and institutional responsibility.

Abstract

Integral education has regained prominence amid concerns that contemporary education usually separates academic achievement from moral, spiritual, and personal development. Within Islamic education, this issue is a theoretical one; embodied religious practices must be interpreted through both Indonesian educational philosophy and maqasid al-shariah, without reducing either framework to a prescriptive ideal. The present study examines the institutionalization of tirakat practices in two children’s pesantren in Central Java and analyzes their educational significance through the perspectives of Ki Hadjar Dewantara’s educational anthropology and contemporary maqāṣid scholarship. A qualitative multiple-case study was conducted over two years, employing observations, in-depth interviews with 22 students, 2 kiai, and 10 teachers, and analysis of institutional documents. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis and abductive interpretation. The results show that fasting, tahajud, wirid, and tahfidz al-Qur’an are interconnected practices that foster bodily discipline, spiritual internalization, self-regulation, ethical awareness, and holistic development. These themes correspond analytically with the five dimensions of maqasid al-shariah. The study puts forward the Integral Maqasid-Based Dual Formation Model as a contextually grounded conceptual framework, supported by empirical evidence and developed through interpretive analysis. Future research needs to evaluate its applicability across different age groups, pesantren traditions, and educational contexts.

Abstract

This article examines how digital platforms mediate fatwa contestation within Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and reshape the relations among organizational, epistemic, charismatic, and digital capital. It compares two disputes: a vertical disagreement between PBNU and PCNU Jember over Friday (Jumu’ah) prayers on public roads, and a horizontal disagreement between PWNU East Java and PWNU Yogyakarta over cryptocurrency. Using qualitative digital ethnography, document analysis, and manual sentiment coding, the study traces the circulation of fatwa texts, media reports, and Facebook discussions across institutional and digital settings. The dataset comprises eight public online sources—two news reports and six Facebook posts—which generated 5,716 visible interactions: 3,594 reactions, 871 comments, and 1,251 shares. Sentiment was coded in 453 relevant comments from three cryptocurrency threads, while the remaining threads were examined qualitatively. The findings show that digital platforms make internal disagreements publicly visible while allowing them to remain institutionally manageable. Cryptocurrency discussions fostered relatively neutral and constructive inquiry, whereas the street Jumu’ah dispute produced sharper contestation over textual authority, organizational loyalty, adab, identity, and affective legitimacy. The article conceptualizes this condition as managed fragmentation within algorithmic digital authority and argues that increased digital visibility does not necessarily confer religious legitimacy.

Abstract

Religious organizations occupy a contested position in electoral democracy because institutional neutrality can coexist with communication with political actors. Drawing on Habermas’s distinction between communicative and strategic action, this study examines how Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah elites negotiated neutrality, religious authority, and political engagement during the 2024 General Election and Regional Head Election in Banyumas Regency. Using a qualitative case study, data were collected from October 2024 to February 2025 through eight semi-structured interview sessions with nine participants, non-participant observation, and documentary analysis. Data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, using communicative and strategic action as analytical categories. The findings show that both organizations avoid partisan endorsement while continuing to communicate with candidates, legislators, and local officials. NU relied on Kiai, pesantren, religious forums, and culturally embedded relations, whereas Muhammadiyah emphasized organizational structures, public-service institutions, and policy advocacy. Political education, dialogue, and the articulation of aspirations coexisted with legitimacy seeking, institutional networking, and policy access. This coexistence is conceptualized as a dual communicative mode. The study concludes that organizational neutrality regulates rather than eliminates political influence, while transparency, equal access, and clear boundaries between public advocacy and electoral endorsement are necessary to preserve democratic legitimacy.
