Abstract

The debate surrounding Ilm al-Kalam represents one of the enduring discourses in the Islamic intellectual tradition. While some scholars view it as an essential tool for safeguarding the creed through rational inquiry, others criticize it for prioritizing reason over divine revelation. This study employs a qualitative approach to explore Al-Ghazali’s contributions to the development of Ilm al-Kalam and critically examines his later critiques as articulated in his autobiographical work al-Munqidh min al-Ḍalāl. The findings reveal that Al-Ghazali, a central figure within the Ash‘arite tradition, significantly shaped Islamic theological discourse through his extensive writings and intellectual influence. However, in the latter part of his life, he presented three major criticisms of Ilm al-Kalam: first, the rejection of rationality as a primary source of religious knowledge; second, a critique of theologians’ methods of refutation, which often lack independent reasoning; and third, their tendency toward taqlid (blind imitation). This study concludes that Al-Ghazali’s critiques reflect an epistemological anxiety over the limitations of reason in comprehending divine realities. Therefore, a balanced theological approach is needed—one that integrates rational reflection with the authority of revelation—to navigate the boundaries of Islamic theological thought more effectively.

Abstract

Gender discrimination in contemporary Muslim societies is often rooted in literal interpretations of certain Qur’anic verses perceived as gender-biased, particularly those related to polygamy and inheritance. This study aims to analyze and evaluate Nasr Hamid Abu Zaid’s hermeneutical approach in addressing gender issues within Qur’anic interpretation. Employing a qualitative method, the research utilizes a critical-comparative hermeneutic textual analysis by examining Abu Zaid’s major works alongside selected classical and modern exegeses. The findings indicate that Abu Zaid’s hermeneutics successfully trace the historical and cultural roots of gender bias in traditional interpretations. His approach provides an alternative framework for reinterpretation that considers socio-historical contexts, allowing for a more equitable and dynamic understanding of Qur’anic messages. Abu Zaid differentiates between the divine text and its historically constructed interpretations, advocating for a reinterpretation that aligns with evolving social realities and the principles of justice and equality. This study affirms that religious texts are inherently dynamic and open to reinterpretation, especially when read through a contextual and gender-conscious lens. Abu Zaid’s hermeneutics contribute significantly to the development of a progressive methodology in Qur’anic exegesis, offering critical insights for addressing gender justice in modern Muslim contexts. Consequently, this research introduces a renewed perspective in the discourse of gender and Islamic hermeneutics that is both theologically grounded and socially responsive

Abstract

The ongoing Israel–Palestine conflict has triggered global repercussions, including the emergence of boycott movements against products affiliated with Israel. This phenomenon has influenced the consumption patterns of Muslim communities, particularly Generation Z, who demonstrate high social awareness and are deeply connected to digital media. This study aims to analyze the influence of brand image, brand experience, and brand ambassador on the purchasing decisions of halal products associated with Israeli affiliations among Generation Z in Pekalongan Regency. A quantitative approach was employed, involving 100 purposively selected respondents. Data were analyzed through validity and reliability tests, multiple linear regression, and classical assumption tests using EViews 10 software. The results show that brand image and brand ambassador have a significant partial influence on purchasing decisions, while brand experience does not. Simultaneously, all three variables exert a significant influence, with an Adjusted R² value of 46.1%. These findings highlight that ethical and social awareness play a crucial role in Generation Z’s purchasing decisions, outweighing functional brand experience alone. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of brand communication strategies that are sensitive to geopolitical issues and aligned with the moral values of Muslim consumers.

Abstract

This study aims to present a critical edition of the text Dafʿ al-Turrahāt ʿan Wājibāt al-Ummahāt (MDTWU) authored by Habib Salim bin Jindan and to analyze his views on Muslim women. MDTWU was written as a response to Qasim Amin’s work, Taḥrīr al-Marʾah. This qualitative study employs a philological approach and intertextual theory. The philological method is applied to produce a readable and comprehensible text, while the intertextual approach is used to trace the interrelations between texts.The findings reveal that MDTWU is a codex unicus—the only known manuscript—preserved in a private collection at the Al-Fachriyah Foundation Library in Tangerang, Banten. Despite its limited circulation and the absence of printed editions, MDTWU provides an important contribution to the discourse on Muslim women in the 20th century. The analysis demonstrates that Habib Salim bin Jindan’s views are largely shaped by patriarchal constructions, emphasizing the preservation of traditional values amid modernization so that women may maintain their rights without losing their identity and dignity. The study further highlights the contrast with Qasim Amin’s perspective, which rejects the traditional confinement of women to the domestic sphere and interprets oppressive values as cultural constructs rather than authentic Islamic teachings. This study supports the findings of Tohari (2021) and Bachtiar (2023), which argue that women’s freedom should remain grounded in Islamic values as a source of legitimacy. Moreover, it suggests that Western-based concepts of women’s emancipation should be critically assessed to ensure their compatibility with Islamic ethical principles. Keywords: Philology, Muslim Women, Manuscript Daf’ al-Turrahāt ‘an Wājibāt al-Ummahāt, Habib Salim, Qasim Amin.

Abstract

This study examines the reality and application of the penalty clause in Istisna‘ and Salam contracts, clarifying its impact on contractual obligations, explaining the Islamic jurisprudential stance considering the nature of both contracts, and highlighting their similarities and differences. The study used the descriptive-analytical method to review juristic opinions and Sharia evidence and adopted the comparative method to analyze rulings and legal effects in Istisna‘ and Salam contracts. It found that the penalty clause is permissible in Istisna‘ contracts to ensure fulfillment of agreed specifications within the specified time, provided compensation is reasonable, not exaggerated, and for actual harm incurred. In Salam contracts, it is impermissible as it constitutes Riba al-Nasi’ah due to its relation to debt. The penalty clause is prohibited in Salam contracts but allowed in Istisna‘ under conditions of actual damage, adherence to terms, and reasonable compensation. Breaches in Salam can be addressed by cancellation or litigation. The study distinguished penalty clauses from earnest money (Arbun) and stressed the need for actual damage and conditions for enforcement.

Abstract

This article examines the paradigm shift in tawḥīd from a theocentric–eschatological orientation to an anthropocentric framework by integrating the ideas of Ismāʿīl Rājī al-Fārūqī and Ḥasan Ḥanafī. Employing a qualitative, analytical–epistemological approach, Thomas S. Kuhn’s framework is used to trace the stages of normal science, anomaly, crisis, and paradigm revolution within the discourse of tawḥīd. Conceptual data are drawn from the principal works of both thinkers and analyzed comparatively and integratively. The findings reveal that the theocentric–eschatological paradigm continues to dominate Islamic scholarship and remains insufficiently responsive to contemporary humanitarian challenges. Al-Fārūqī’s tawḥīd-based principles, encompassing the unity of God, creation, truth–knowledge, life, humanity, and the reciprocity of reason and revelation, provide a multi-sectoral Islamic worldview. Meanwhile, Ḥanafī’s reinterpretation of classical kalām themes, particularly the doctrine of divine attributes, offers operational dimensions for transforming consciousness and guiding social praxis. Their integration produces an anthropocentric tawḥīd that supports the renewal of Islamic sciences, ethical–humanitarian agendas, and educational policy. This study contributes to restoring Islam’s vital élan as both a transformation of consciousness and a spectrum of exemplarity, offering a framework for contextual scholarly responses to the paradigmatic crisis facing Muslims in the digital age.

Abstract

The legend of al-Dahhāk represents one of the most complex mythological narratives transmitted through both Persian and Arabic Islamic historiography. Rooted in pre-Islamic mythic traditions, this figure has been reinterpreted by Muslim historians to reflect evolving cultural, political, and theological contexts. This study aims to analyze the historical and intellectual dimensions of the al-Dahhāk narrative through a comparative examination of Persian and Arabic Islamic sources. Employing a historical-analytical comparative method, the research draws upon early primary sources such as al-Ṭabarī, al-Masʿūdī, al-Bīrūnī, and Firdawsī’s Shāhnāmah, alongside the Avesta as a pre-Islamic reference text. The analysis reveals significant divergences between Arabic and Persian accounts regarding al-Dahhāk’s origin, identity, and geography. While Arabic sources often associate him with Yemen or Babylon, Persian traditions depict him as a tyrant linked to the ancient Iranian dynasties. The study argues that al-Dahhāk symbolizes not a single historical individual but a dynastic archetype—possibly representing the Assyrian Empire—whose reign embodies tyranny and decline. By reinterpreting myth through historical critique, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of how Islamic historiography assimilated mythic structures from Persian and Mesopotamian traditions, illuminating the interplay between history, legend, and identity in the early Islamic intellectual heritage.
