Abstract

This study critically examines the implementation of the Living Qur’an method in student research at the Qur’anic Studies and Tafsir Programme of IAIN Kediri. It addresses a persistent methodological problem, namely the tendency of student research to adopt descriptive-phenomenological approaches without sufficient integration with textual analysis, exegetical traditions, and the framework of ʿUlūm al-Qur’ān. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected from thirteen undergraduate theses employing the Living Qur’an approach, in-depth interviews with supervisors, and institutional curriculum and academic guideline documents. Data were analysed through an interactive model focusing on text–phenomenon correlation, depth of tafsir engagement, and normative–contextual integration. The findings reveal that most student research positions the Living Qur’an primarily as a sociological-descriptive approach, resulting in weak analytical connections between religious practices, Qur’anic texts, and interpretive traditions. Only a small proportion of studies demonstrate systematic integration of field data with exegetical analysis and relevant tafsir literature. These results indicate the absence of clear operational methodological standards in student-based Living Qur’an research. This study contributes by formulating practical methodological indicators and reaffirming the disciplinary position of the Living Qur’an within Qur’anic sciences and tafsir studies. It is expected to serve as a foundation for improving research quality in Islamic higher education institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to explain the relationship between Islamic asceticism, the internalization of spiritual values, psychological motivation, and the entrepreneurial behavior of students at Roudhotul Muttaqin Islamic Boarding School, Mojokerto. A qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews, observations, documentation, and focus group discussions (FGDs) involving eight informants. The findings reveal that the practice of Islamic asceticism through dhikr, wirid, voluntary prayers, and the internalization of values such as sincerity (ikhlas), patience (sabr), trust in God (tawakkul), steadfastness (istiqamah), asceticism (zuhud), and gratitude (shukr) fosters a spiritually grounded work ethic among students engaged in aquaculture activities. Entrepreneurial activities are understood not merely as economic endeavors but also as a form of da'wah bil hal (preaching through action) and tazkiyat al-nafs (spiritual purification), cultivating discipline, mental resilience, honesty, and social responsibility. Business setbacks are interpreted as opportunities for muhasabah (self-reflection) and spiritual learning, strengthening the character of resilient entrepreneurs. This study proposes a Sufism-based entrepreneurship model grounded in the psychology of da'wah, linking Islamic asceticism, spiritual motivation, and entrepreneurial behavior while reinforcing the paradigm of transformative da'wah through productive spirituality.

Abstract

Deaf people face serious challenges in the context of Islamic religious learning. Inappropriate Islamic religious teachings result in an incomplete understanding of the teachings that must be practiced in daily life. In some cases, this incomplete understanding leads to behavior that is inappropriate or even contradictory to Islamic religious teachings. This study aims to identify various problems faced by deaf people and the strategies for mediatizing Islamic religious teachings to optimize their acceptance of these teachings. This study was conducted in East Java. The method used was qualitative, with data collection techniques involving interviews, observation, and documentation. This study finds that the fundamental problems faced by deaf people include cultural issues, psychological issues, family parenting patterns, negative stigma, and unsupportive policies. Possible mediatization strategies include using a humanitarian approach to convey religious messages, creating a system that supports the acceptance of Islamic religious materials, optimizing the role of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, and optimizing the role of Islamic community-based organizations. The solution should be implemented according to a disability-centred paradigm, which encompasses both social and religious dimensions. Religious experience involving the body, sign language, and media constitutes a lived and embodied Islamic approach for Deaf people.

Abstract

This article examines the concepts of nūr (light) and ẓulmah (darkness) in the thought of Ibn 'Aṭā'illāh as-Sakandarī and their implications for Islamic psychology. While historical studies of the Islamic soul (nafs) frequently emphasize ontological descriptions and normative ethics, they rarely articulate the functional dynamics through which spiritual components produce moral behavior. Addressing this gap, this study conceptually reconstructs the operational roles of nūr and ẓulmah in relation to the 'aql (intellect), baṣīrah (spiritual insight), and qalb (heart). Employing qualitative content analysis, the study systematically unitizes, categorizes, and synthesizes primary textual data from al-Ḥikam and its authoritative classical commentaries. The findings indicate that the human psyche is structured by internal faculties interacting with transcendental epistemic inputs (nūr) and egoistic distortions (ẓulmah). Nūr manifests in graduated forms (intibāh, iqbāl, wiṣāl) that progressively enhance moral cognition and activate the baṣīrah. Conversely, ẓulmah operates through base desires that obscure ethical orientation. Rather than positioning this framework in binary opposition to contemporary psychology, the study places as-Sakandarī in constructive dialogue with psychoanalysis and positive psychology, highlighting how Islamic psychology introduces a theocentric dimension to internal conflict and human flourishing. Ultimately, this study offers a conceptual reconstruction that bridges classical Shadhiliyyah thought with modern discourse on moral development, providing a theoretical foundation relevant to contemporary Islamic educational and therapeutic settings

Abstract

This article examines the reconstruction of al-Ghazālī’s integrative epistemology of Islamic law through qualitative library research, using Iḥyā’ ‘Ulūm al-Dīn as the primary text and employing the analytical framework of bayānī, burhānī, and ‘irfānī epistemologies. The study reveals that al-Ghazālī consistently integrates Sufi ethics and burhānī logic into the discourse of fiqh, uncovering the inner meanings behind the formal structures of law. The synergy between bayānī reasoning (scriptural-normative), burhānī reasoning (rational-philosophical), and ‘irfānī reasoning (mystical-intuitive) produces an integral epistemological construction of fiqh in which law is inseparable from moral and spiritual dimensions, forming a unified and integrative epistemic system. This article further proposes a reconstruction of modern Islamic legal epistemology through three major agendas: the transformation of bayānī into maqāṣid-oriented ethical guidance, the emancipation of burhānī through critical engagement with modernity, and the humanization of ‘irfānī as a transformative spiritual ethic. Such an integrative epistemology enables fiqh to move beyond rigid legalistic dogma and emerge as a liberating and humanistic spirit of Islamic law.

Abstract

This article examines methodological renewal in Ashʿarite kalam by developing a more explicit conceptual model of epistemological reconstruction. Using an integrative review, the study analyzes 50 core sources selected from classical theological works, peer-reviewed journal articles, and international academic books published mainly between 2000 and 2026, with classical texts used as foundational references. The review asks how Bayani, Burhani, and irfani epistemologies can be operationalized to transform Ashʿarite kalam from a primarily defensive-dialectical discipline into a reconstructive, dialogical, and ethically responsive theology. In response to the need for clearer library-research reporting, the findings are presented through a coding matrix that maps title/author/year, data source or object, conceptual focus, main findings, and thematic codes. The findings produce a triadic reconstruction model: Bayani functions as textual anchoring, Burhani as rational-coherence testing, and irfani as ethical-spiritual orientation. The novelty of this article lies not in repeating the general integration of Islamic epistemologies, but in translating al-jabiri’s epistemic categories into an operational model for contemporary Ashʿarite theological reasoning. This model clarifies how classical Sunni theology can engage modern issues such as scientific rationality, pluralism, human dignity, and technology ethics without abandoning its doctrinal identity.

Abstract

Contemporary studies of uṣūl al-fiqh continue to encounter epistemological challenges due to interpretive models that position the relationship between texts, interpreters, and religious authority in a hierarchical manner, potentially leading to authoritarian tendencies in Islamic legal reasoning. Khaled Abou El-Fadl’s authoritative hermeneutics emerges as a critique of the monopoly of religious authority by proposing an interpretive framework that is dialogical, ethical, and accountable. However, the contribution of Abou El-Fadl’s thought to reconstructing the methodology of uṣūl al-fiqh has not been systematically examined. This article aims to analyze the concept of authoritative hermeneutics and formulate its integration into the development of contemporary uṣūl al-fiqh. Employing a qualitative library-based approach with a descriptive-analytical method, this study examines Abou El-Fadl’s works alongside classical and contemporary uṣūl al-fiqh literature through comparative-interpretative analysis. The findings reveal that authoritative hermeneutics contributes to four methodological dimensions of uṣūl al-fiqh. First, regarding Islamic legal rulings (ḥukm sharʿī), it distinguishes divine authority from human interpretation, positioning law as an ongoing interpretive process. Second, concerning legal sources and evidence (adillah), it strengthens textual verification mechanisms to prevent selective and ideological use of religious texts. Third, within legal reasoning methods (istinbāṭ), it expands interpretation by incorporating moral considerations, social contexts, and the ethical objectives of Islamic law. Fourth, regarding the qualification of mujtahid, Abou El-Fadl reformulates interpretive authority through five principles: honesty, diligence, self-restraint, comprehensiveness, and rationality. This article argues that authoritative hermeneutics does not replace the classical tradition of uṣūl al-fiqh but reconstructs its epistemological foundation toward a more inclusive, critical, and socially responsive Islamic legal methodology.

Abstract

Debates concerning women’s roles in public and domestic spheres remain a dynamic and contested issue within Muslim societies. This study seeks to negotiate the competing paradigms that support and oppose women’s positioning in these two domains by employing feminist hermeneutics and the qirāʾah mubādalah approach. The research adopts a historical–factual design based on a library research method. Data are collected through systematic documentation of relevant texts and analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach, with validity ensured through source triangulation and data cross-checking. The findings indicate that a proportional reinterpretation of women’s public and domestic roles requires a transformation in mindset among both men and women, enabling each to optimize their respective potentials and contributions. Gender equality is understood not as a fixed or static endpoint, but as a dynamic and evolving condition in which men and women share balanced rights, obligations, roles, and opportunities grounded in mutual respect. The study emphasizes several foundational principles: reciprocity (mubādalah) in gender relations, the central role of education as a cornerstone of gender equality, and the synergistic relationship between public and domestic roles. Accordingly, both men and women possess the legitimate right to determine and perform roles that correspond to their capacities, potentials, and personal choices, whether within the family or in the broader social sphere.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the epistemological implications of the evolution of Orientalist methodologies in Qur'anic studies and to explore the contribution of a decolonial perspective to reconstructing the paradigm of Qur'anic interpretation. Contemporary Qur'anic studies continue to be dominated by the application of historical-critical methodologies developed within the Western academic tradition, giving rise to ongoing debates regarding the place of Islamic epistemology in Qur'anic interpretation. Although previous scholarship has extensively examined Orientalism, relatively limited attention has been devoted to investigating how the structural evolution of Orientalist methodologies—from the pioneering works of Abraham Geiger and Theodor Nöldeke to the revisionist approaches of John Wansbrough and Christoph Luxenberg—has progressively transformed the epistemic foundations of contemporary Qur'anic studies. This study employs a library research method using a qualitative-conceptual approach and critical analysis. The analysis brings Edward Said's concept of strategic formation into dialogue with the principles of Islamic epistemology, namely waḥy (revelation), naql (transmitted knowledge), ʿaql (reason), and tawātur (mass transmission). The findings reveal three major shifts in Orientalist methodology. First, the focus of inquiry moved from philological comparison to historical reconstruction and subsequently to revisionist skepticism regarding the formation, transmission, and textual authenticity of the Qur'an. Second, these methodological shifts institutionalized historical criticism as the dominant criterion of scholarly legitimacy, thereby marginalizing Islamic epistemic authorities rooted in revelation, authenticated transmission, and the classical exegetical tradition. Third, this dominance has produced an epistemic asymmetry in which Islamic interpretive frameworks are frequently treated as objects of historical investigation rather than as legitimate sources of theory and methodology. This article argues that the decolonization of Qur'anic interpretation should be understood not as a rejection of historical-critical scholarship but as an epistemological reconstruction that repositions Islamic intellectual traditions as equal partners in producing theories, methods, and analytical frameworks for contemporary Qur'anic studies.

Abstract

This study examines the extent to which colonial epistemological structures continue to shape contemporary Ulum al-Qur'an, particularly in the field of mushaf studies. The study employed a cross-sectional quantitative survey involving 385 scholars and graduate students from twelve Islamic universities in Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt, and Turkey. Data were collected using a 42-item Likert-scale instrument measuring three latent constructs: Colonial Epistemological Reliance (CER), Indigenous Tradition Marginalization (ITM), and Decolonial Awareness (DA). The proposed model was analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The measurement model demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties (χ²/df = 2.13, CFI = 0.94, TLI = 0.93, RMSEA = 0.048, SRMR = 0.051). Descriptive findings indicated relatively high levels of Colonial Epistemological Reliance (M = 3.78, SD = 0.82) and Indigenous Tradition Marginalization (M = 3.62, SD = 0.91), whereas Decolonial Awareness remained comparatively lower (M = 2.94, SD = 1.03). Structural analysis revealed that Colonial Epistemological Reliance significantly increased Indigenous Tradition Marginalization (β = 0.61, p < .001), while Decolonial Awareness significantly reduced both Colonial Epistemological Reliance (β = −0.43, p < .001) and Indigenous Tradition Marginalization (β = −0.38, p < .001). Cross-national analysis further identified significant differences in Colonial Epistemological Reliance across the four countries (F(3,381) = 8.74, p < .001, η² = .064), highlighting the influence of distinct historical and institutional trajectories. By operationalizing decolonization as measurable epistemological constructs, this study extends contemporary decolonial theory from philosophical critique to empirical verification and provides evidence for developing a more pluralistic and epistemically balanced framework for global Qur'anic manuscript studies.
