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.

Abstract

Muslim authors who depict Islam or Muslim societies in a critical light are frequently accused by fellow Muslim critics of being cultural intermediaries (compradors) who perpetuate neo-Orientalist narratives and reinforce negative stereotypes of Muslims in Western discourse. This study examines how Islam and Muslim identities are represented in four key diasporic works, Husain’s The Islamist, Yassin-Kassab’s the Road from Damascus, Aslam’s Maps for Lost Lovers, and Moaveni’s Lipstick Jihad. By analyzing these texts, the paper explores the ethical and intellectual responsibilities of Muslim writers when revealing uncomfortable or contentious “truths” about their own communities. Across these narratives, Islam is frequently portrayed as a repressive system, whether in state forms such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, or within conservative diasporic contexts, such as Muslim communities in the United Kingdom. Through a comparative analysis, this paper interrogates whether these self-critical Muslim voices, articulated through both memoir and fiction, inadvertently reinforce hegemonic Western discourses that stereotype Muslims, or alternatively, whether they contribute to a more nuanced understanding of Islam’s diversity and the multifaceted experiences of Muslims in global contexts.

Abstract

In the current digital era, learning models are continuously undergoing rapid changes and developments, marked by the emergence of various strategies, methods, and diverse learning approaches. However, amid these advancements, the traditional learning model in Javanese pesantren persists to this day. One enduring model is Quranic learning. This article aims to explore the sustainability and relevance of the Quranic learning model in Javanese Pesantren, which remains integral to Islamic education in Indonesia. The research methodology employed is descriptive qualitative, utilizing data derived from interviews and observations conducted at al-Balagh Pesantren in East Java. The findings of this research reveal that the Quranic learning model in Islamic boarding schools possesses unique and distinctive characteristics, placing a primary emphasis on Quranic studies. The sorogan and bandongan learning methods are two commonly employed approaches in Javanese Pesantren. These methods significantly impact the learning process within these boarding schools, particularly in reinforcing students' comprehension of the subject matter and fostering social interaction skills, as well as establishing connections with teachers and peers.

Abstract

In contemporary societies marked by materialism, uncertainty, and psychological distress, the concept of psychological resilience has gained increasing scholarly attention. This study explores psychological resilience through a comparative analysis of Viktor E. Frankl’s logotherapy and Kiai Ihsan Jampes’s concept of zuhud as articulated in Sirāj al-Ṭālibīn. Employing a qualitative, library-based research design, the study analyzes primary texts: Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning and Kiai Ihsan Jampes’s Sirāj al-Ṭālibīn alongside relevant interdisciplinary literature. The findings reveal that although logotherapy and zuhud emerge from distinct intellectual traditions, both offer complementary frameworks for cultivating resilience. Logotherapy emphasizes the search for meaning, freedom of attitude, and responsibility in the face of suffering, while zuhud highlights detachment from excessive worldly dependence, acceptance (riḍā), and spiritual contentment. Beyond spiritual or ethical ideals, these principles function as psychological mechanisms that foster emotional regulation, inner tranquility, and adaptive coping. This study argues that integrating existential psychology with Islamic Sufi thought provides a holistic understanding of psychological resilience that bridges mental health and spiritual well-being in contemporary contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between digital literacy competence and ICT self-efficacy in shaping functional skills among students in Islamic secondary schools. As digital technologies become increasingly embedded in educational practices, disparities in technological engagement highlight the need to understand how digital competencies influence students’ problem-solving, critical thinking, and descriptive abilities. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to teachers and students in Islamic secondary schools. Statistical analyses, including correlation and moderation tests, were conducted to examine the interrelationships between digital literacy, ICT self-efficacy, and functional skills, as well as to explore potential gender-based differences in technological knowledge and confidence. The findings indicate that higher levels of digital literacy are positively associated with stronger ICT self-efficacy and enhanced functional skills. Gender-based analysis suggests variations in digital confidence and technology use patterns. These results underscore the importance of strengthening digital literacy and self-efficacy to support skill development in faith-based educational settings. The study contributes to educational technology discourse by highlighting the role of digital competence in fostering functional skills and informing more inclusive and effective technology integration strategies in secondary education.

Abstract

Inheritance disputes within Indonesian Muslim families often involve complex legal, social, and emotional dimensions shaped by Islamic law, state regulations, and customary practices. This article examines the role of inheritance counseling and mediation as non-litigation mechanisms for resolving inheritance disputes and preserving family harmony. Using a qualitative normative–empirical approach, the study combines field research conducted in Palangka Raya with an analysis of Islamic inheritance principles (fiqh al-mawārīth) and contemporary mediation frameworks. The findings demonstrate that inheritance counseling enhances legal awareness, clarifies rights and obligations among heirs, and prevents conflict escalation at an early stage. Mediation-based dispute resolution is shown to be more efficient, less costly, and more conducive to maintaining kinship relations than litigation. However, institutional mediation bodies remain underutilized due to limited public awareness and accessibility. This study contributes to Islamic family law scholarship by highlighting the integration of Sharīʿa-based inheritance norms with restorative and community-oriented mediation practices within Indonesia’s plural legal system.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital da‘wah on YouTube has significantly transformed how Muslims engage with the Qur’an, repositioning the platform as a key site for religious interpretation and authority formation. This article examines how Qur’anic interpretation of dhikr contributes to the reconfiguration of religious authority in the digital sphere, focusing on the YouTube sermons of Ustadz Adi Hidayat (UAH). Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study integrates tafsir mawḍū‘ī (thematic exegesis) with critical discourse analysis to analyze sermon content and audience interactions in the comment sections. The findings demonstrate that UAH conceptualizes dhikr not merely as a verbal ritual, but as a comprehensive spiritual framework encompassing prayer, ethical discipline, and inner tranquility. Moreover, audience responses reveal the emergence of a digitally mediated “dhikr community” in which religious meanings are collectively interpreted and affirmed. This dynamic illustrates how YouTube functions as a space for Qur’anic meaning-making that reshapes traditional patterns of religious authority in contemporary Islam.

Abstract

This paper examines Islamic food ethics as a holistic framework for addressing contemporary challenges of social justice, ecological sustainability, and interreligious harmony. Moving beyond a narrow understanding of halal as ritual permissibility, the study proposes an Ethical Halal model that integrates four interrelated principles: halal compliance, animal welfare, ecological sustainability (al-istidāmah), and social equity. Drawing on Qur’anic concepts of ṭayyib (pure and wholesome consumption), Prophetic teachings on moderation (wasatiyyah) and stewardship (khilāfah), and relevant contemporary scholarship, the article highlights the moral and transformative dimensions of Islamic dietary ethics.The analysis emphasizes three key themes. First, animal welfare, grounded in the Qur’anic recognition of animals as moral communities deserving compassionate treatment. Second, sustainability, articulated through prohibitions against waste (isrāf) and the promotion of environmental responsibility as a form of ongoing charity. Third, food-based charity, including zakāt and ṣadaqah, which functions to reduce inequality, alleviate hunger, and foster social and interfaith solidarity. Overall, the study demonstrates that food in Islam constitutes a site of worship, ethical responsibility, and ecological care. The Ethical Halal framework offers practical insights for policymakers, educators, and community leaders seeking sustainable and inclusive approaches to food ethics in a globalized world.
