Abstract

This study investigates the process of vernacularization in the Gorontalo language translation of the Qur’an published by the Gorontalo Regional Government. Situated within the broader academic debate on postcolonial and decolonial Islamic hermeneutics, the research addresses how local languages and cultural frameworks participate in shaping religious meaning and resisting Arab-centric epistemic authority. Employing a qualitative methodology with a library research approach, the study utilizes descriptive analysis to examine textual elements in the translation. The findings reveal three major categories of local cultural integration: (1) lexical absorption—Arabic-derived terms adapted into Gorontalo, such as na'ale, aba/baaba, helidu, and sap; (2) linguistic politeness—refined expressions like waatia, yo'i, ti, and te that reflect local norms of respect; and (3) cultural expressions—idioms and metaphors such as Tabia, Ta ilahula, and Dulahu momooli, which encode Gorontalo cosmology and spiritual values. Theoretically, this research contributes to the discourse on vernacular Qur’anic interpretation by demonstrating that translation is a culturally embedded and ideologically charged act. It affirms the significance of local hermeneutics in constructing religious knowledge and challenges epistemic centralization by legitimizing vernacular voices within Islamic interpretive traditions.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how Ma’had Aly Lirboyo implements epistemological decolonization in Islamic education through the preservation of pesantren traditions and their integration into the formal higher education system. The background of this research is rooted in the dominance of Western epistemology within national education systems, which often marginalize the Islamic intellectual heritage. This is a field research study using a qualitative approach, employing techniques such as direct observation, in-depth interviews with Ma’had Aly administrators and educators, and documentation analysis of institutional policies and curricula. The findings reveal that Ma’had Aly Lirboyo successfully preserves traditional pesantren methods—such as bandongan, sorogan, wetonan, and daurah ilmiah—while adapting them to a structured academic system through the Fiqh Kebangsaan curriculum. This strategy has enabled the development of an Islamic education model that not only maintains sanad (chains of knowledge transmission) and scholarly authority but also responds effectively to national and global challenges. Theoretically, these findings reinforce the discourse of knowledge decolonization by demonstrating that local systems of knowledge—rooted in tradition, spirituality, and social context—can form legitimate, autonomous, and globally relevant educational frameworks.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd employs language as a site of power and resistance in the reinterpretation of Islamic texts and the promotion of religious pluralism. It focuses on how his linguistic-hermeneutical approach challenges dominant literalist paradigms and contributes to the development of inclusive Islamic theology. The research adopts a qualitative methodology through textual analysis of Abu Zayd’s major works, complemented by a critical discourse analysis (CDA) framework. Key concepts such as language, power, and authority in interpretation are examined to understand how Abu Zayd reconstructs religious meaning within the context of sociopolitical realities. The findings reveal that Abu Zayd’s philosophy of language subverts literalist and hegemonic interpretations by promoting a dynamic, context-sensitive, and pluralistic reading of Islamic texts rooted in lived human experience. His hermeneutics exposes the embedded power relations in religious discourse and offers a critical lens for deconstructing interpretative authority. By foregrounding the role of language in shaping theological narratives, this study contributes to the decolonization of Islamic discourse and highlights Abu Zayd’s hermeneutics as a foundation for developing an emancipatory and pluralist Islamic theology, particularly relevant for Muslim communities beyond the dominant Arab-Western paradigms. This research contributes to the decolonization of Islamic studies by demonstrating how linguistic awareness and interpretive plurality can challenge hegemonic discourses, reclaim interpretative agency, and open new spaces for contextual and inclusive Islamic thought, especially within postcolonial Muslim societies.

Abstract

This study aims to address the lack of scholarly attention to the dominance of Western colonial knowledge and the strategies for restoring local Islamic epistemic authenticity in Indonesia’s digital public sphere. Specifically, it examines the digital preaching strategies of Gus Baha in his online Al-Hikam studies, focusing on how local religious elites rearticulate vernacular Islamic authority through digital media while maintaining harmony with their followers. The research employs a qualitative approach using digital ethnography and interpretive content analysis of four YouTube channels that regularly disseminate Gus Baha’s Al-Hikam lectures. The findings reveal three central strategies in Gus Baha’s digital da‘wa: re-centering pesantren authority through online kitab kuning recitations, emphasizing sanad (chain of knowledge transmission) as a marker of epistemic authenticity, and adapting Sufi teachings into accessible audiovisual formats without losing their intellectual and spiritual depth. These strategies demonstrate how pesantren-based scholarship, classical Sufi teachings, and Javanese cultural values are revitalized within the contemporary digital ecosystem, providing an alternative to dominant globalized and textualist Islamic discourses. Theoretically, this study contributes to the discourse on digital religion and Islamic authority by showing how vernacular Sufism, mediated through online platforms, enables local scholars to resist Western epistemic dominance. It affirms the continuity of traditional Islamic scholarship while opening possibilities for plural epistemologies in understanding Islam in the digital age.

Abstract

The study of Qur’anic Sciences has long been a central focus within Islamic scholarship, yet comprehensive mapping of its global trajectories, collaborations, and emerging themes remains insufficiently addressed. This study aims to critically analyze the dynamics of Qur’anic Studies in the global academic sphere by identifying dominant themes, evaluating patterns of scholarly collaboration, and exploring the extent to which the field is diversifying into new disciplinary domains. Bibliometric analysis was employed as the primary method, using bibliographic data indexed in Scopus between 2001 and 2025. Harzing’s Publish or Perish (PoP) facilitated quantitative analysis, while VOSviewer was utilized for visualizing co-authorship networks, institutional clusters, and thematic density. The findings reveal that Qur’anic Studies continues to be shaped by individualistic scholarship, with a low co-authorship rate averaging one author per publication and moderate citation performance, reflected in an h-index of 7 and a g-index of 9. Thematic mapping highlights the persistent dominance of research on tafsir, hermeneutics, and contextual approaches, but also shows emerging directions connecting the Qur’an with education, public health, digital technology, and interfaith dialogue. Geographically, Southeast Asia—particularly Indonesia and Malaysia—emerges as the most productive hub, while Middle Eastern and Western institutions remain influential yet less collaborative across regions. Theoretically, this study underscores a critical paradox: while the field is experiencing thematic diversification, its fragmented networks and limited methodological innovations risk confining Qur’anic Studies to regional silos rather than advancing it as a globally dialogical discipline. Strengthening transnational collaboration, fostering interdisciplinary approaches, and promoting embodied engagement with contemporary issues are necessary steps to reposition Qur’anic Studies as a central node in broader academic and intellectual discourses.
