Abstract

whether his interpretations are grounded in a coherent epistemological framework or primarily driven by intuitive reflection. The analysis draws on Rudolf Bultmann's hermeneutic theory of demythology as a comparative lens, given its focus on reinterpreting mythological elements to address existential concerns, particularly in the context of discussions about the future rather than historical facts. The research employs a literature-based approach, utilizing primary sources such as Hosein's works on eschatology and Bultmann's writings on demythology, alongside secondary sources from relevant academic literature. The findings reveal notable methodological parallels between Hosein’s interpretations and Bultmann’s demythologization, particularly in their shared use of hermeneutic techniques. However, a key distinction lies in their epistemological foundations: while Bultmann approaches the New Testament through a Christian existentialist lens, Hosein’s interpretations are deeply rooted in Sufi epistemology and his perspective as a Muslim scholar interpreting the Qur'an.

Abstract

Social media has become a platform for forming virtual communities based on shared interests, including religious expression. It also serves as a forum for exchanging ideas, often leading to the development of distinct online cultures without direct interaction. Netnography, a digital adaptation of ethnography, provides a framework for studying these cultural phenomena. This study examines how shalawat (praise for the Prophet) is shared via social media and how some Arabic love songs are mistakenly perceived as shalawat by online audiences. The research aims to analyze netizens’ responses to these songs and to explore the semantic content of the lyrics to clarify their meaning. Using a qualitative approach with a netnographic method, data were collected through online observation, interviews, and documentation. The study followed five stages: developing the research framework, selecting the object, collecting data, analyzing findings, and reporting results. The findings indicate that some users misunderstand the lyrics of Arabic love songs featured in majlis shalawat settings, assuming them to be religious chants. Semantic analysis was conducted to distinguish between love-themed lyrics and genuine shalawat, shedding light on how religious expression and popular culture may intersect and be misinterpreted in digital spaces.

Abstract

This study explores the role of Ngaji Tasawuf Online in preserving classical Islamic knowledge, focusing on the digital transmission of Ihya’ Ulumuddin by Imam Ghazali, led by Ulil Abshar Abdalla. In the context of advancing information technology, digital recitation emerges as an adaptive method for sustaining spiritually rich traditional teachings. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through documentation studies and observations of online sessions shared via platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Spotify. The findings indicate that online recitation enhances accessibility, particularly for individuals constrained by time and location. Moreover, social media facilitates real-time interaction between teacher and participants, fostering a dynamic, though virtual, learning environment. While challenges remain in preserving the depth of classical pedagogy in digital formats, online recitation effectively maintains spiritual traditions in a way that aligns with modern life. Ultimately, it serves not only as a means of knowledge transmission but also as a platform for reinforcing the relevance and depth of classical Islamic teachings today.

Abstract

The growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in religious communication has introduced new dynamics in Islamic preaching (Da’wah) as it raises questions about its linguistic, persuasive, and theological qualities compared to traditional human-led discourse. This study investigates the rhetorical characteristics of AI-generated Islamic messages by comparing them with sermons delivered by recognized Muslim scholars. The aim is to understand how AI influences the structure, authority, and effectiveness of religious messaging in the digital era. Employing a comparative rhetorical analysis, this study examines a purposive sample of AI-generated Da’wah texts and human-delivered sermons addressing similar religious themes. The analysis is grounded in Arabic rhetorical theory, Aristotelian persuasion (ethos, pathos, logos), and digital media theory to assess differences in content delivery and audience engagement. Findings show that while both forms draw on Qur’anic verses and Hadith, human preachers establish authority through years of study and community trust, whereas AI relies solely on textual citation, often defaulting to dominant interpretations. Human-led Da’wah features storytelling, emotional appeal, and context-specific reasoning, fostering deeper audience connection. In contrast, AI discourse is more neutral, informational, and lacks adaptive nuance. This study concludes that although AI can support the spread of Islamic knowledge, it falls short in replicating the rhetorical richness and relational depth of human Da’wah. These findings offer practical insights for scholars, developers, and policymakers navigating the intersection of religion and technology.

Abstract

Urban society is significantly shaped by modernization, with modernity and globalization influencing all facets of culture, religion, politics, and law. These shifts pose challenges for traditional Sufi orders, particularly in adapting to technological advances, social changes, and evolving economic-political landscapes. Sufi order Naqshabandi Haqqani exemplifies a sufi order that effectively responds to modernity through inclusive preaching methods, digital engagement, and social adaptability, while preserving its spiritual essence. This qualitative field research explores how the order adapts to digital technology, approaches social transformation, and maintains relevance in a globalized world. Findings reveal three key aspects: First, the order has expanded significantly in urban areas, attracting followers from various social backgrounds, including elites and bureaucrats. Second, it employs adaptive strategies by embracing innovation and using digital platforms to reach wider and younger audiences. Third, the order adopts a flexible and “easy-going” approach to some Sufi practices, minimizing esoteric and intense philosophical elements that might deter new adherents. This approach reflects a phenomenon of continuity and change, wherein core spiritual teachings are preserved while their presentation and practice evolve to meet contemporary societal needs. As a result, the order remains accessible, relevant, and spiritually meaningful within a modern, digitalized context.

Abstract

This study explores community perspectives on Sufi orders, focusing on the al-Shādziliyyah Order of Pondok Pesulukan Thoriqot Agung (PETA) in Tulungagung, East Java. The rapid growth of Sufi movements in Indonesia has given rise to various religious expressions, including strong emotional ties and loyalty to spiritual leaders (mūrshid). In this Order, the emergence of cult-like behavior has raised concerns about the limits of religious reverence and its alignment with Islamic teachings. Using a qualitative approach, this research examines the extent and nature of such behavior and whether it departs from Qur’anic and Hadith principles or remains within accepted Sufi piety. Georg Simmel’s theory of social interaction is employed to analyze how social bonding and charismatic authority contribute to excessive veneration. Data were collected through fieldwork, semi-structured interviews, and literature review. The findings show a range of attitudes among followers, from sincere devotion to problematic loyalty, particularly the belief in the mūrshid’s spiritual infallibility. These patterns are reinforced through ritual practices, group dynamics, and the leader’s perceived charisma. This study contributes to the discourse on contemporary Sufism in Indonesia by highlighting the sociological mechanisms that shape religious authority and group cohesion. It calls for critical reflection within Sufi Order communities to maintain a balance between spiritual guidance and theological boundaries.

Abstract

The ideas of Sufism actually do not recognize the identity of its followers, male or female. Women in Sufism have an important position so that their ideas need to be explored. One of the efforts to find the ideas of female Sufis is through Sufi hagiographic texts (ṭabaqāt). This research discusses the formation of the authority of female Sufis based on their ideas through one of the classic Sufi hagiographic texts by as-Sulamī. This type of research is qualitative, based on document research, and uses the analytical-descriptive method. The primary source is a female Sufi hagiography text by as-Sulamī entitled Żikr an-Niswah al-Muta'abbidāt as-Ṣūfiyyāt. Secondary sources are other classical Sufi hagiography texts such as those by al-Iṣfahānī, al-Harawī, al-Qusyairī, al-Hujwīrī, al-Jāmī, Ibn al-Jauzī, and 'Aṭṭār, as a well as supporting authoritative books and articles. The findings of this study show that, in addition to recognizing the existence of female Sufis, as-Sulamī managed to record their various statements that are full of Sufism ideas and this showed their authority in this tradition. The author collects their Sufism ideas in two main ideas; Tazkiyyah an-Nafs and Sufistic Ethics. The idea of Tazkiyyah an-Nafs is contained in their narratives which envision that humans can establish a positive relationship between themselves and their God. Meanwhile, the idea of Sufistic Ethics is contained in their narratives which discourse that the positive relationship between humans and their God, must form a similar thing between themselves and His creatures.

Abstract

This study investigates how digital communities perceive and respond to the increasing cases of sexual and physical violence in pesantren, with a focus on viral incidents in Lombok. The research specifically aims to examine two core aspects: the formation of public opinion in digital spaces and the emerging demands for institutional reform in pesantren. Using a qualitative approach with a netnographic method, the study analyzes social media content, including comments, videos, and online discourse from platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram. Data were processed using the Huberman and Miles analysis technique. The findings reveal that viral cases have significantly damaged the pesantren’s public image, leading to widespread skepticism about their credibility and safety. The study concludes that pesantren must adopt transparent governance and proactive communication strategies to restore public trust. This research provides critical insight into how digital narratives shape institutional reform in Islamic education.

Abstract

This study examines the theological and social perception of Nigerian Sūfis (mystics) regarding the claims of Syeikh Nyass's reincarnation and its significance or otherwise for Sūfi practice. It uses a conceptual tool known as the Myth and Reality Framework developed by Karl Popper to distinguish between theological realities and mystical beliefs. The study adopts a Qualitative research method by employing both primary and secondary sources of data collection, ranging from interviews, review of published Scholarly works, and Sūfi literature, to investigate the basis of reincarnation within the Sūfi tradition and how Nigerian Sūfis responded to the claim of its actualization vis-à-vis Syeikh Nyass. The study found that Syeikh Nyass has been one of the most influential Sūfi figures whose influence spread across West Africa, particularly Nigeria. Nevertheless, Nigerian Sūfis remarkably divided regarding Nyass’s alleged reincarnation; while some adherents affirm its occurrence claiming that the spiritual power of Syeikh Nyass continues even after his death through his chosen followers, enabling them to perceive his physical presence, while others vehemently reject such possibility, arguing that it is against the tenets of Islam. The study concludes that Subsequent studies may examine the existence of this spiritual reincarnation across Sūfi Orders such as Qadiriyya, Naqsybandiyya, and Chisytiyya to compare their theological perception and socio-cultural implications.
