Abstract

The objective of this research is to ascertain the efficacy of PjBL (Project-Based Learning) in enhancing the creative thinking skills of students in Islamic Religious Education at SMP Negeri 1 Indramayu. The present study employed a quasi-experimental methodology, whereby a control group was tested before and after the implementation of the intervention. A sample of 25 grade eight students was utilised for this purpose. The present study employed an experimental method, incorporating a group pre-test and post-test design. The subjects of this study comprised students in Year 8E, with a total of 25 students participating. The data were collected through the administration of tests, the distribution of questionnaires, and the review of documentation. The test data were analysed using paired-sample t-tests and N-Gain tests in IBM SPSS Statistics software, version 26. The findings indicate that project-based learning methodologies enhance students' creative thinking skills at SMP Negeri 1 Indramayu with considerable efficacy, as evidenced by the students' response questionnaire scores, which equated to 83.00% of the total possible score. The N-gain test revealed an enhancement in students' creative thinking skills following the implementation of a project-based learning model, with an N-gain value of 0.59 in the medium category. The implementation of project-based learning is contingent on several factors, including the role of the teacher, the availability of facilities and infrastructure, and the level of student interest in learning. Conversely, the inhibiting factors of project-based learning are the relatively high costs, the relatively long time required, and passive students. The present study indicates that curriculum designers and educators in Islamic schools should consider adopting innovative, student-centred learning models to support the development of 21^(st)-century competencies.

Abstract

This study aims to reposition zakat not merely as a philanthropic tool within the framework of modern economic rationality, but as an emancipatory praxis rooted in the ethical and spiritual values of Islam. In the context of Indonesia's postcolonial agrarian economy-still marked by structural inequality, marginalization of small farmers, and market domination-zakat is conceptually explored as a means of economic decolonization. Guided by the framework of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah and analyzed through the Analytical Network Process (ANP) method, the research examines how zakat-based agricultural programs conducted by several Lembaga Amil Zakat (LAZ), such as Daqu Agrotechno Daarul Qur'an, Dompet Dhuafa, and LAZ Al-Azhar, embody transformative potential in supporting farmer welfare (falah). The central research question asks: to what extent can zakat, through the principles of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, function as a strategic tool for agrarian justice in postcolonial Indonesia? The study reveals that each LAZ prioritizes different maqāṣid principles, reflecting their respective philosophical orientations-spirituality (ad-dīn) for Daqu Agrotechno, intellectual empowerment (al-'aql) for Dompet Dhuafa, and economic independence (al-māl) for LAZ Al-Azhar. Nonetheless, when all respondent preferences are synthesized, the protection of family and lineage (an-nasl) emerges as the most important dimension (23.10%), followed by economic well-being (22.30%) and religious values (21.60%). The ANP model used in this research recorded high consistency across all decision inputs (inconsistency range: 0.00000 to 0.07103), reinforcing the validity of the findings. Overall, the research demonstrates that zakat, when reclaimed through a maqāṣid-based epistemology, can serve as a critical Islamic response to structural agrarian injustices, redefining development.

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.

Abstract

This study aims to reassess the Indonesian presidential electoral system within the context of postcolonial liberal democracy and to propose an alternative democratic framework rooted in the values of siyasah syar'iyyah (Islamic political governance) as part of the decolonization of Islamic politics. The main issues addressed include presidential conflicts of interest during election campaigns, weak electoral oversight institutions, and regulatory ambiguities that allow ethical distortions in democratic practices. The research adopts a normative-juridical approach combined with a conceptual analysis of siyasah shar'iyyah. Data were collected through the examination of electoral laws, academic literature, and classical Islamic political thought such as Al-Ahkam al-Sultaniyyah, Siyasah Syar'iyyah, and Al-Muwafaqat. A qualitative juridical analysis was employed to evaluate the alignment between positive legal norms and the principles of Islamic governance. The findings reveal a fundamental misalignment between Indonesia's electoral practices and the core Islamic political values of justice ('adl), integrity (amanah), and public welfare (maslahah). The phenomenon of presidential intervention in campaigns (cawe-cawe) signifies an ethical leadership crisis, legitimized by vague regulations and weak institutional checks. The study recommends the reconfiguration of Articles 281, 282, and 299 of Law No. 7/2017 as a normative measure to enforce political neutrality and prevent abuse of power. Theoretically, this research contributes to the discourse on decolonization in Islamic political studies and constitutional law. The siyasah syar'iyyah framework provides a more substantive and contextually grounded ethical paradigm than liberal democratic proceduralism and offers a pathway for integrating Islamic values into modern Indonesian political systems.

Abstract

This article critically analyzes the transformation of zakat (Islamic almsgiving) in Indonesia and Malaysia through the ethical framework of Ibn ‘Āshūr’s Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah (Higher Objectives of Islamic Law), focusing on the key values of public good (maṣlaḥah), social justice (ʿadl), economic freedom (ḥurriyyah), and solidarity (taʿāwun). The discourse on shifting zakat distribution from consumptive to productive models has become central in contemporary Islamic social finance, particularly in debates surrounding sustainable poverty alleviation and the empowerment of zakat beneficiaries (mustaḥik). While consumptive zakat is often criticized for fostering dependency, productive zakat offers the promise of long-term socio-economic inclusion. Employing a qualitative-comparative method, this study draws on both classical and contemporary literature as well as field data from official reports of zakat institutions in Indonesia and Malaysia. The findings reveal varied degrees of alignment with the four ethical foundations. The public good (maṣlaḥah) is partially realized through measurable improvements in beneficiary income and skill development, though these outcomes often remain localized and lack integration into broader economic planning. Regarding social justice (ʿadl), the selective nature of program access and weak accountability raise concerns about fairness. Economic freedom (ḥurriyyah) remains hindered by limited capital access, inadequate institutional support, and bureaucratic rigidity, impeding beneficiaries' long-term financial independence. Solidarity (taʿāwun) is the least developed principle, as current zakat programs tend to rely on top-down implementation models that limit community participation and mutual cooperation. Theoretically, this study contributes to a decolonial rethinking of Islamic social finance by challenging charity-centric paradigms inherited from colonial frameworks. It proposes a maqāṣid-oriented vision of zakat as an emancipatory instrument of social transformation. The article advocates for participatory governance, integration with micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) policies, and ethical institutional reform to ensure zakat functions as a sustainable driver of socio-economic justice in Muslim-majority societies.

Abstract

The platform of religious moderatism continues to be widely used in the university context as a means to spread wasathiyah religious ideas. This study explores the role of religious institutional activities in fostering religious moderation as a strategic response to the growing influence of transnational Islamic ideologies within Indonesian higher education. Focusing on three prominent public universities Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI), Universitas Negeri Jakarta (UNJ), and Universitas Negeri Malang (UM). This qualitative research employs a multiple case study approach supported by document analysis, Focus Group Discussion, and observation. The findings reveal that while each institution adopts distinct approaches shaped by their unique socio-cultural and ideological contexts, all three share a commitment to embedding the principles of religious moderation into religious activities. UPI institutionalizes religious programs within the academic structure, UNJ emphasizes inclusivity and diversity, whereas UM integrates values of tolerance and contextual learning. The study affirms that structured mentoring programs rooted in the university’s religious and cultural frameworks are instrumental in shaping students’ moderate religious outlooks. The implications suggest that religious moderation must be mainstreamed into curricular and extracurricular domains through policies that respect institutional contexts.

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 argues that the formation of Sunni Islamic legal epistemology between the eighth and eleventh centuries CE cannot be adequately understood as a passive reception of Greco-Hellenistic rational traditions. Instead, it emerged through a complex process of internal methodological negotiation within the Islamic intellectual tradition. Rather than wholesale adoption of Aristotelian or Neoplatonic modes of reasoning, Muslim jurists selectively appropriated and critically reconfigured rational tools within the normative and epistemic framework of uṣūl al-fiqh, thereby generating a distinct form of legal rationality grounded in revelation, linguistic analysis, and juristic practice. Employing a postcolonial methodological inquiry, this study challenges earlier Orientalist interpretations that reduced Islamic jurisprudence to Roman or Hellenistic precedents, arguing that such accounts overlook the autonomy and internal dynamics of Islamic legal thought. The findings highlight the active epistemic agency of Muslim scholars who, through concepts such as qiyās and ʿillah, constructed a coherent system of legal reasoning while negotiating sociopolitical contexts, textual authority, and intellectual power structures. This study concludes that Sunni legal rationality developed through creative transformation rather than derivative reception, reaffirming the methodological autonomy and intellectual originality of Islamic law within the broader history of global legal traditions.
From Mystical Unveiling to Spiritual Therapy: Kasyf and the Reconstruction of Sufi Healing in the Syadziliyah Achmad Sauqi

Abstract

This article seeks to discuss of kasyf—the unveiling of inner truths—in the Syadziliyah Sufi healing practices of Tulungagung, Indonesia, focusing on santri experiences. Employing a phenomenological approach, data were gathered through observations and in-depth interviews with santri who have undergone kasyf. This article argues that kasyf significantly supports tazkiyatun nafs (self-purification) and enhances spiritual well-being. Notably, santri display differing levels of kasyf despite following the same zikir practices, highlighting its nature as a divinely bestowed experience rather than a structured objective. This sets Syadziliyah healing apart from other Sufi traditions, which often emphasize more systematic spiritual and psychological frameworks. The study also critiques Karim Mitha’s notion of “self-knowledge,” proposing “soul-knowledge”—an integrative framework combining self-knowledge and tazkiyatun nafs—to guide salik toward discovering the “true soul.” The research presents a novel model of transformative Sufi healing in the Syadziliyah tradition, emphasizing individualized spiritual experiences and the central role of divine grace in personal spiritual development.
